Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 256: A Great Plan

After walking back to the inner part of Eternal Kingdom, Russ threw Shadow's unconscious body to the ground.

*Paff!*

Crouching down next to his body, a rope appeared in Russ's hand from out of nowhere, and with that, he tied Shadow onto a tree.

"A rope? Won't that be useless if he tried to use his power?", asked Joe Emma with a slightly raised eyebrow.

"It is no ordinary role. Wayne and I have fused our powers into it through a complex Power Array, so if he tries anything funny, he is as good as dead meat."

"A Power Array?", asked Emma with a slightly raised eyebrow, never heard about such a name.

"You can think about it like a Magic Circle or a complex seal. It works in the same manner, but it can use several powers at the same time.", replied Russ calmly after he made sure the rope was tied well around Shadow.

"I see."

"So what should we do now?", asked Mila after she waited for a small while.

However, just before anyone could have replied to her, suddenly, a strange sight happened.

Above everyone's head, a colorful wheel appeared, split into several sections. Each section had a different color, each leaking different mysterious presences out.

"What the hell is this?", asked Mila with a raised eyebrow.

However, Joe knew exactly what it was and wanted to warn everyone, but before he could have had the chance, the red color on everyone's wheel lit up.

"!?"

"Argh!"

The instant as that happened, everyone fell to their knees, while a huge drop of sweat started to flow down their faces.

Even Russ and Wayne were trying to resist the unknown power, but they were unable to do so.

Greg, who was doing just perfectly fine, seeing as everyone suddenly started to struggle, looked stunned and looked around.

"What happened?", asked Greg, but seeing as no one was around, he didn't how to help.

Waving his hand, Greg summoned the demon mask and used its power but turned around it was useless.

No matter how intense the mask was making its light shine, it was unable to erase the strange power above his friend's head.

"It's... My... Father's power...", hissed Joe through his clenched teeth as he looked at Greg.

He was shocked to see that Greg was doing perfectly fine, but because of the pain he was currently feeling, he had no time to ask how.

Instead, he glanced at Greg and explained, "He can... See other people's fate to a limited degree, while also causing his opponents to feel different kinds of things."

"Right now, we all feel like our body had been thrown into a boiling hot pot."

As Greg listened to this looked speechless.

"What can I do? It seems my nullification ability has no help here at all.", said Greg.

"Unfortunately... Nothing.", told Joe and continued to explain, "However, his power has a weakness. Once he uses his ability, it will last only 1 minute and after that, he needs to wait for another 2 minutes before he could use it again."

And just as a small while later he said that the wheel vanished from above his head, making Joe to sigh up with relief.

"How can we counter it then?", asked suddenly Russ from the side, knowing this kind of power could be quite annoying during a fight.

Exhaling the air from his lungs, Joe glanced at Russ and said, "If I am right, he can only use his power on those whose fate is visible before him. Or at least he told me this once before."

As others listened to this, all of them glanced at Greg and stayed silent.

Knowing what they were thinking, Greg shook his head and said, "Let's not think about unnecessary things. Instead, let's think about a plan. How should we fight him if he can put all of you under his power?"

"You can't avoid being under his attack, that is absolute power.", replied Joe.

"What? Isn't that a bit too absurd?", asked Greg with confusion.

"It is, however, just because of this reason, he is unable to kill with his power. He can only debuff others or cause illusions while unable to injury anyone truly."

"Good to hear that, but even like that, his power is an absolute battle-controlling ability. If we try to attack him after his cooldown and he decides to use it, maybe not him, but others could easily finish us off.", told Mila from the side with a deep frown.

"Not exactly.", said Russ with a smile suddenly.

"What should that mean?", asked Mila, making the others to look at him with confusion too.

However, Russ just simply pointed at Greg and said, "We have him, and with him here, I have a great plan."

***

Outside Skyfall Mountain in the dense forest, Joe's father stood still in the shadow while light dissipated away from behind his body.

Henry who was kneeling behind him looked at the Dia Family's head with great surprise without saying a single word.

Just right now, he saw a powerful expert's strength in full action, but for some reason, the sight only lasted for a minute.

"Did something happen?", thought Henry curiously as he looked toward the mountain.

However, to his surprise, Joe's father smiled and said, "Here they come finally."

"?"

Looking at his leader with a confused expression, Henry opened his mouth to ask, but suddenly several figures appeared in the close distance.

"So they decided to come?"

Watching as Joe, Mila, Emma, and two men stood calmly before them, Henry stood up and wanted to attack, but was stopped by Joe's father.

"Where is he?", asked in a calm tone of voice Joe's dad as he looked around calmly.

Russ who was standing in the middle stepped forward and smiled.

"He stayed back to look out for the man you have sent and any other unwanted guest."

Listening to what Russ was saying, Joe's father looked around and waved his hand.

Instantly, a strange power got blasted around his proximity, making the surrounding trees to start to move gently.

After waiting for a small while, Joe's father frowned and glanced at Russ.

"It seems no one is in close proximity. Did he say the truth?"

However, Russ didn't wait for Joe's father to act and moved.

*Swish!*

With his ability, he teleported right before the Dia Family's head and punched forward.

"Sir!", shouted Henry and moved, but before he could have done anything, Joe appeared like thunder from the sky before him, blocking his way in one smooth motion.

"You first need to beat us before you can go forward.", said Joe and swung the Jade Sword in his hand.

*Swish!*

*BOOM!*

Explosion by thunder from the left, while eruption by a punch from the right, both Russ and Joe attacks missed their target, while Henry and Joe's father jumped backward avoiding their enemy's attacks by a hair margin.

However, Russ seeing this didn't turn sad, but instead smiled and shouted in an instant.

"Now!"

"!?"

Immediately as that sounded, like ghosts emerging from the shadows, behind Henry and Joe's father, both Wayne and Mila appeared.

"How?", said Henry with great surprise.

While the two were surprised by the sudden emergence of the two, Wayne waved his hand, sending a toxic-like serpent toward Henry, while Mila did the same but she created purple flames.

And to make things even worse for the two, Henry watched as Joe swung his sword, sending several thunderbolts toward him and his own father without mercy.

"Not good!", thought Henry as he watched their dire situation and summoned his abyss black scythe in his hand.

He was about to use his power to consume all 3 types of attack, but just before he could have done so, Joe's father suddenly smiled.

"This is the end."

Instantly, a great presence broke out from his body, while a half-transparent figure started to manifest behind his back.

"Fate, Disorder!"

Instantly as that sounded, above Joe's, Russ's, Mila's, and Wayne's head the similar-looking colorful wheel appeared, while the black color on it lit up.

*BOOM!*

Like losing their connection with their powers, all the three abilities that were just about to explode into Henry and Joe's father unexpectedly vanished, while the 4 fell to their knees with clenched teeth.

"Now then. Show us the way inside your base or I will kill her.", said Joe's father in a terrifyingly calm manner and walked close to Mila's side.

"I don't think that will happen!", said suddenly a voice from the side, making both Henry and Joe's father to turn their head with surprise.

There in the distance, both were able to see as Mila stood as calmly before them as ever, while looking at them with an expressionless face.

"Huh? Didn't my power worked on her?", asked Joe's father with great shock, but the next second smiled and looked at Henry.

"Finish with her."

"But Sir...", started to say Henry, but seeing his boss's ice-cold glare, Henry stopped talking and gulped down his saliva.

"I guess I have no choice.", told Henry with a sigh and after turning ice-cold, his body flashed before Emma.

"I'm sorry!", said Henry quietly and swung his scythe toward Emma's neck.

However, just as he was about to kill her, suddenly Emma smiled.

"You did nothing wrong."

"!?"

When Henry heard the masculine voice, which didn't go with Emma's look, his eyes widened with shock.

However, just as he was about to react, Emma's body moved and with a flash, vanished from where she stood a moment ago.

*BOOM!*
