Chapter 284: Cracked and Smashed!
Chapter 284: Cracked and Smashed!
The ground trembled as Greg slapped Nos right in the face, making his whole body to be blow into the distance in a flash.
"!?"
Eldar who fought against the experts all this time naturally noticed this and couldn't help but feel shocked by both Greg's power and speed; it was like he was both in an Agility and Body Strengthening class! If he wouldn't have known that Greg's power was to control the 6 elects then he would have easily believed it!
"Interesting!" thought Eldar as he stepped to the side to avoid Kuragari's katana and Elian's gold coin while kicking back to smash Zane in the stomach.
Greg watched as Nos's figure exploded and turned several pillars into debris and only came to a complete halt after the 15th crash.
"Blargh!" vomiting up a huge amount of blood with a few pieces of teeth mixed in it, Nos struggled onto his feet dizzily and glared at Greg, "You will pay for this!"
"Are you sure about it?" asked Greg as he appeared before Nos in a flash once again, his palm targeting Nos's chest; considering that a slap could make several teeth to broke off, then this hit could definitely break all of his ribs inside his body!
"I fell for your trick once, but I won't be reckless the second time!" growled Nos and waved his hand.
*Swish!*
Immediately as he did that, a translucent barrier appeared around Greg, trapping him into a box-shaped energy hazard.
*BAM!*
As his palm hit not Nos, but the barrier that appeared around him, Greg stood up straight and examined the power around him. He was trapped once by this kind of ability once before when he obtained the Water Key, but at that time there was Russ and Wayne; by the help of Russ's teleportation, it was as easy to escape as taking a peaceful stroll in the park.
However, unfortunate for him, there was no Russ nor Wayne this time to help him, and he can't wait for Kuragari's and others' help to save him; he was all alone this time.
"Haha, I told you. Once I catch you you are dead. Your life is in my hands' kid." told Nos as he spit out another teeth from his mouth, revealing a smile full of missing teeth.
"Hmm..." yet, even though knowing that Bos tried to scare him, Greg looked just as indifferent as ever. He tried using his darkness element to escape through his shadow, but found it strange he was unable to do so! Even his demon mask's nullification power was useless which made him feel a bit shocked but that's all.
"Ha? You think I won't kill you?" asked Nos as he shrunk his palm into a fist, effecting the barrier around Greg to shrink too.
"It's not like I don't believe you, it's just simply you can't," replied Greg, his gaze now fixed on Nos.
"What should that even mean?"
"It's easy. Both you and your boss know I have the final key. Without the key no matter what you try to do you will not be able to enter the Altar and obtain the sealed power of the Creator. If I die, your last chance to open the Altar and obtain that absolute power dies too! You can't kill me and even a complete idiot would know this."
"..." Nos stayed silent, unknown how to react to that statement. What Greg just said was right from start to beginning. He... They needed Greg and his power to open the gate with the final key; no one was capable to do that to him.
"Still," spoken Nos suddenly after he pondered for a while, "even if I can't kill you, I can torture you to the point where you will cry for my mercy."
As his voice fell, Nos tightened his fingers into a fist bit by bit, making the barrier around Greg shrink at the same time too.
Watching as the box shrunk and shrunk with each additional second Greg could just raise his hand and smash forward.
*BAM!*
*TREMBLE!!*
"Haha, no matter what you try to do, you can't escape!"
*BAM!*
*TREMBLE!!*
"Haha!"
*BAM!*
*TREMBLE!*
"Ha..."
*BAM!*
*TREMBLE!!*
With each smack on the barrier, cold sweat materialized on Nos's back, while his complexion turned paler and paler.
It was because every time Greg hit the barrier, the power would tremble abnormally, while on its surface what started to form was... Cracks! Yes, cracks!
No one else knew better his power than himself! His power was called Trap Box not for fun; anyone or anything trapped inside would not be able to escape no matter what. It was an absolute domain that nullified every power inside it, making the prey to turn as weak a rabbit. Even Eldar his boss would be helpless if he trapped him, that's how scary his power really was. Only if one didn't have an ability associated with the space element that could twist and control space itself, one will be helpless no matter what!
However, right now, right before his eyes, someone who should be crying for help not to die, right now was smashing the barrier from time to time with such power that it started to form cracks! He formed a crack on his barrier with nothing more but with his sheer physical strength!
If it weren't for the fact that he was connected with the barrier and felt every that every hit Greg did on it was real, he would think he was imagining things!
*CRACK!*
After the 7th hit, the whole barrier was filled with wide and web-like cracks, making Nos stagger several meters backward with a trembling body.
"He... He is not a human, but a monster!"
*BOOM!*
And in the very moment his voice fell, the barrier he thought was inescapable, broke into thousands of light particles while Greg's body flashed before him; at that time, the smile on Greg's face no longer seemed an arrogant or gentle one, but the exact grin of a devil from the deepest part of hell!
"I-"
*BAM!*
Even before he could have said anything, Greg's fist slammed into Nos's chest, sending his figure flying hundreds of meters away with boisterous cracking noises coming from his body, unknown hiw many bones had been broken just by that single slam!
"One down, one more to go!" waved his hand Greg imitating that his palm was hurt, and turned around. However, as he did, his pupil shrunk to a size of a needle while every muscle inside his body stiffened up, inches away from his head, Eldar was glaring deep into his eyes with an evil smirk etched on his face!
"You are interesting."
"!?"
Using his wind element to increase the distance between him and Eldar, Greg appeared several hundreds of meters away from where he just stood, but cold sweat still appeared on his body; Eldar was still before him with that scary grin on his face!
"Just where are the other-, oh no..." Greg wanted to ask where could Zane and the others be but his expression froze up the moment he saw the three experts standing motionlessly in the distance, each having a blank expression.
They got under Eldar's spell!
