Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 45: First Family Mission

*BOOOOM!*

Like a sudden breeze, Greg appeared before Eric and hit him in the face with a powerful punch, making his body hit the wall in the distance.

As his body exploded onto the wall, wide cracks formed behind his back, making the spectators run away in fear, not knowing if the stands will collapse or not.

"Cough!"

As Eric spit out a huge amount of blood, disbelief could be seen on his face.

"H-how? Cough...Cough... How did you know that I was there?"

As Greg was looking down onto Eric's figure, he pointed at the platform.

"You were bleeding and your blood told everything. You don't need to be a genius to figure a simple thing out like this."

Listening to this, Eric coughed up even more blood.

"I lost."

Hearing that Eric surrendered, Chris raised his hand and announced the results.

"Winner: Greg Hyde. Points: 24."

With a satisfied smile, Greg walked back to his friends and sat down. Beating Eric and getting the win, he was finally able to obtain first place again.

However, he couldn't enjoy it for too long, because the next one who fought was Joe, who was against a girl.

The girl looked very mature, giving off a seductive feeling to any man who saw her figure.

What was even more shocking for Greg, that in her previous fights, she had the ability to manipulate any men or women, who had weaker will than her. With that power, she could easily control anyone to surrender immediately.

After Chris started the fight, the girl looked at Joe with an enticing look and started to talk to him.

"Hey, cutie. Wanna play with Big Si- Aaaargh!!"

*Paff*

Before the girl could finish her sentence, a terrifying thunderbolt striked her body without any hesitation, making her fall to the ground unconsciously, while small white smoke clouds could be seen flying up from her body.

Chris saw this and was a bit shocked just how merciless was Joe, but in the end, he announced the results.

"Winner: Joseph Dia. Points: 27"

After his win, Joe sighed lightly and walked back to his place.

Fights went on one by one and in the end, the PGF ended, making Joe, Greg, Eric, and Mila the first four in the ranking.

After walking out of the Arena, the two girls said goodbye to Joe and Greg. Watching the girls walked away, Joe turned around a started to talk to Greg.

"Come with me. My father wants you to participate in a mission."

Hearing this unexpected news, Greg nodded and followed Joe toward a black limo in the distance.

[In the Dia Family's Mansion]

*Knock~Knock!*

"Come in."

Opening the door, Joe walked in with Greg behind his back and bowed slightly.

After walking in and bowing, Greg looked around. There were 5 people and a woman in the room and all of them were standing in a line before Joe's father and Scott.

"You two are finally here.", said Scott with a satisfied smile.

The two boys stood next to the five adults and waited for Joe's father to talk.

"It seems everyone is here. Well then, why I brought you all here is because I have a mission for you.", said Joe's father, while leaning back gently into his sofa.

"What do we need to do sir?", asked the woman on the side.

"Do you ever heard about the Zone Dungeon?"

Hearing the unfamiliar name, the eight shook their head slightly.

"The Zone Dungeon as its name suggests is a dungeon full of dimensional zones. It is a restricted area, which is under the protection of the Soul Association. In the beginning, there were only ten zones in there, but lately, the number of the zones started to grow at a rapid pace. Unfortunately, a fourth-ranked zone appeared and because of the lack of fighters, the Association decided to get others to help. What you need to do is to go and clear that zone, however, if somehow thing goes wrong, don't hesitate to escape. Understood?"

"Yes Sir!"

"As for the two of you...", started to talk to Joe's father, but his talk halted for a moment after looking at the fairy on Greg's shoulder.

However this momentary halt was only for a second and a moment later, he continued talking like nothing happened.

"You will go with the team and help them. Whatever they say to you, need to follow them as an order."

"Yes Sir!"

Just as Joe's father wanted to continue his talk, suddenly Greg raised his hand.

"Yes?"

"Um... Sir. Will this mission take us a long time? If yes what about the PGF?"

Hearing the question, Joe's father nodded and said, "We will contact the Academy, so you don't need to worry about anything."

"Thank you, Sir!"

"Well done. Then back to the main conversation, here is an invitation card, which will let you guys into the dungeon. Also, you will get a map and all the important pieces of information you need to know, before going there."

"Thank you, Sir!", said a muscular man with a blade on his waist as he took over the things from Scott.

"Okay then. You may go now. And remember, safety comes first."

With a slight bow, the 8 walked out of the room leaving Scott and Joe's father alone.

"Did you see it?", asked Joe's father calmly, while looking at the door.

Hearing the unexpected question, Scott looked confused and looked toward the door.

"See what, Sir?"

"The Soul Pet on Greg's shoulder."

After thinking for a while, Scott nodded and said, "Now that you say, yes, I noticed it. But what is the problem with it?"

Joe's father looked very deep in thought, but in the end, sighed and shook his head.

"Well... Nevermind it."

***

Greg and Joe were standing before the Mansion and watched as the other six talked between each other merrily.

Seeing their gazes, the woman smiled at them and put her hands out, "Hi, my name is Rose, nice to meet you."

Seeing Rose talk with the two, the guy with the blade on his waist walked over and smiled.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Kyle, I hope we will get along with each other."

"Nice to meet you too. My name is Joseph and he is my friend Greg."

"Hi!"

Kyle nodded and pointed at the other four behind him.

"They are my friends. David, Ben, Jake, and Skull. They are nice guys, so don't be afraid to ask me or them, if there is something you need."

Hearing their names, three out of four nodded as a hello, however the skinny bald guy on the side clicked his tongue and said angrily, "Kyle, why are you wasting your time with little kids? Rather tell us what is the plan."

"Skull, they are also part of the team. Don't be like this.", said Rose as she looked at Skull with her sharp eyes.

Not backing down, the guy named Skull looked a bit mad and turned his gaze back at Rose.

Seeing as the air between the two started to get a bit tense, Kyle clapped his hands lightly and smiled.

"Okay, okay, please everyone calm down. We are not here to fight among each other, so why don't we talk about the mission?

Hearing Kyle's suggestion, Skull and Rose sent a sharp look at each other for the last time and looked at Kyle.

"Nice."

Seeing as everything calmed down, he took out the map, which Scott gave at them, and looked at it.

"It seems the Zone Dungeon is miles away from Nexus City in the mountains. If we want to get there in time, we have to go at the very latest tomorrow morning. It will take us about 9 hours on foot."

"Then let's not waste any more time and let's prepare.", said Skull with an excited expression.

"Sure, but before that, I need you guys to see this.", said Kyle as raised his watch.

Walking closer to see what it was, they saw tons of information appearing before them on Kyle's screen.

"Here. Read this.", said Kyle as he pointed at specific information.

After reading through them, like just seeing some kind of bad joke, their expression turned rather shocked.
