Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 43: Ranking Up The Pet

Greg was in a cave, while creatures with an appearance of bats attacked him in groups.

*Swish!*

With a single slash, he killed a bunch of creatures, while leaving small shiny crystals on the ground.

"Phew! This will make my 43rd kill in this zone.", said Greg, while as he was picking up the crystals from the ground and putting them into a bag, which was almost full of energy crystals.

Putting away the bag into his shadow, he looked at his watch on his wrist and looked at his fairy's information.

{Wind Sailer} (Mutant)

Rank: Manifester

Type: Pet (Operational)

Powers: Wind Slash, Wind Sailing

Energy Crystals: 378/500

(Can rank up twice)

His pet's energy crystal bar had 378, which made Greg smile in satisfaction. A day ago, his fairy didn't consume even a single crystal, but now, after getting five High-class energy crystals from the Association as a reward and clearing three lower-ranked zones with the girls, it was finally close to ranking up.

However, because he felt bored after Emma and Mila went home, he decided to clear a few more zones alone.

Out of the energy crystals he collected so far, he obtained three more Soul Creatures, but because of their ability and rank were too low, he didn't bother to try them out.

"If I give the remaining crystals to her, she will definitely rank up."

As he thought about this, he smiled and closed the screen. After confirming that he picked up all the crystals from the ground he nodded and started to walk forward.

After walking in the cave for a while, he finally saw a small light appearing before him slowly.

Seeing that the light was a small floating orb, Greg's eyes shined with excitement, and started to run forward.

But when he was close to the orb, suddenly a shrill cry sounded through the cave from behind him.

*SCRREEEECH!!*

Hearing the cry, Greg stopped and looked around.

With a sudden flash, a purple thing appeared not far away from him, while it flew toward his direction with a rapid pace.

He squinted his eyes to try to see what the creature's appearance was, but because of the strange purple mist, which covered the creature, he couldn't catch even a small detail.

"Well, it's just a first ranked creature.", thought Greg and with a slash with his hand, the creature got cut into half.

After killing the creature a purple crystal fell onto the ground, which made him smile even more. After picking it up, he turned around and touched the zone's core without any further hesitation.

In an instant, it turned into a white light and disappeared into his chest, making information appearing in his head.

'Soul Monster: Mist Bat'

'Rank: Awakened'

'Cloak type: Mist Cloak'

Hearing this, Greg summoned out his newly obtained Soul Creature.

As he did so, instantly his whole body got covered with purple mist, making him look like he was wearing a purple cloak.

"Hmm... And what is its ability?", thought Greg and looked at the bat's data on his watch.

{Mist Bat}

Rank: Awakened

Type: Cloak

Powers: Smokescreen

Energy Crystals: 0/100

(Can rank up once)

As he was looking at the pieces of information on his watch, the scenery around him changed, leaving him standing in the open.

Feeling the change, he looked up, and seeing as it was already getting dark, he decided to go home.

"But before that, let's try this smokescreen ability out."

After confirming no one was in the vicinity, he activated the creature's ability trippingly.

In an instant, the cloak on his body released purple mist all around him covering a hundred meters, while making his body melt into its surroundings.

"Amazing!", thought Greg as he looked around.

However, the most amazing thing was that while others couldn't see through the mist, he could. If he used this ability well, it could be a very scary killing trick, even for those above his rank.

With a satisfied smile, he undid the ability and put away the cloak.

"Let's go home."

After walking for 20 minutes and finally arriving home, he took out a bag full of energy crystals in it.

After pouring it out onto the table he started to count them slowly.

"1.. 7... 15... 37... 49... 96. 96 energy crystals from 4 Awakened ranked zones. Not so bad."

As he said that, he summoned out her pet and let her start to consume the crystals from the table.

Seeing so many crystals in one place, the fairy looked very excited and started to consume them one by one.

Watching as the fairy's power grew after consuming one crystal, Greg was excited to wait to see her rank up.

When there were only 7 crystals left, suddenly the fairy's body started to shine with a red light, and with a flash, it disappeared into Greg's chest.

'Soul Fairy: Wind Sailer has been ranked up'

Hearing the information in his head, Greg looked excited, while he opened the fairy's data on his watch.

{Wind Sailer} (Mutant)

Rank: Soul Collector

Type: Pet (Operational)

Powers: Wind Slash, Wind Sailing, Wind Silk

Energy Crystals: 0/1000

(Can rank up once)

"Wind Silk? What should that mean?", thought Greg with a confused look.

As he was thinking, suddenly the fairy appeared before him and looked into his eyes.

"Huh? I didn't summon you, so how are you here?", asked Greg with a confused look.

"Slash... Slash... No fear..."

Hearing the fairy talk to him, Greg was really surprised and listened carefully to what she wanted to say.

"Use... Slash... No fear..."

"You want me to use your ability in here?", asked Greg with a shocked expression.

He didn't think the fairy would reply, but to his surprise, she nodded with a smile.

"This pet is really strange. Maybe because it's a mutant one?" thought Greg and raised his hand and after activating his new ability he slashed before him.

He thought there will be a huge explosion or something, so he was ready to stop his attack anytime, but after he slashed, an amazing scene happened.

What appeared before him was the same wind blade as always, but instead of cutting everything in half, it stopped in mid-air, while it floated gently.

However what made Greg so surprised was not this, but the appearance of the attack.

The shape was the same as the wind blade, but it was almost invisible due to its thinness. Only small vibrations could be seen in the air from time to time and nothing else.

Greg looked at it and after a while, he looked around quickly.

"Is there something I can throw at it?", thought Greg as his eyes looked for anything he could throw at it.

After a few seconds later, he finally noticed an iron spoon on his table and after thinking for a while, he picked it up and threw it at the wind silk in the air.

*Katcha!*

Almost like a hot knife cutting into butter, the wind silk in mid air cut the iron spoon smoothly into two.
