Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

415  414: All He Heard & Saw

"How disappointing."

The instant Corey heard these words that were spoken by the Capra King, his breath stopped and his heart skipped a beat as his pure white eyes witnessed a scene he had thought of, but desperately wished not to happen.

Corey watched with unblinking eyes as the Capra King calmly raised one of his hands the instant the massive arc of energy appeared before him.

An expression of pure and utter disappointment appeared on the face of the Capra King as he slowly clenched his hand.

Corey's massive Cosmic Cleaver clashed against the hand of the Capra King, and an extremely loud screeching sound resounded throughout the dimension, making it seem like two metals were rubbing against one another.

Corey's Cosmic Cleaver brightened and the flames that made up the Cosmic Cleaver tried to go past the Capra King's hand. However, despite the flair and ferocity of the flames and the different energies, the massive arc of the Cosmic Cleaver failed to go through the hand of the Capra King.

As the Cosmic Cleaver clashed against the hand of the Capra King, the expression of the Capra King changed from one of disappointment and indifference to one of slight astonishment and disbelief.

Two seconds later, the Capra King had enough. With a soft shake of his head, he clenched his hand, shattering the massive arc of the Cosmic Cleaver like fragile glass.

Corey's pupils trembled slightly when he saw this, and Selene was no different.

Meanwhile, the Capra King slowly clenched and unclenched his hand while having an intrigued and surprised expression.

"Is that all you've got?" The Capra King asked without taking his gaze away from his hand.

Corey kept quiet, and his shaky gaze which was filled with numerous emotions stared at the Capra King with a calm expression, however, he was anything but calm internally.

A second later, his Ears of Omniscience picked up on a sound from the Capra King.

Drip

It was extremely subtle, and if not for the fact that his Ears of Omniscience could pick up on the faintest of sounds, he would not have heard it.

And then he saw it.

His Eyes of Omniscience gave him a bird's eye view of what was happening in a 200m radius around him, and because of that, he could see it clearly.

The nasty injury on the hand of the Capra King.

The Capra King's hand was burnt and there was a nasty gash on his palm that showed his dirty brown bone, and Corey saw the Capra King's blood. It was dark brown.

Corey could also see the Capra King's skin squirm, almost like it wanted to heal itself. However, the Capra King's hand failed to heal itself at a fast rate, and Corey knew why.

His poison-laced mana from his Poison Infinity Crystal.

However, he knew the poison from his Poison Infinity Crystal and also Poison Manipulation was not enough to kill the Capra King.

Although this was the case, the Capra King had a surprised expression as he stared at his gravely injured hand.

After what seemed like forever to Corey, but was just eight seconds at most, the Capra King finally looked away from his injured hand and stared at Corey.

He looked at Corey from up to down, and some seconds later, his surprised expression changed to that of disappointment.

"Your breathing is uneven and forced. Your muscles squirm almost like they're in pain. Your heartbeat is faster than normal. Your eyes lack the same focus and clarity that it once had. And your legs tremble due to weakness."

"Look, you're even using your Genesis Armament to steady yourself so that you won't fall."

The Capra King shook his head once again with his two lower arms crossed, and then he glanced at his injured hand.

"You called the move you unleashed, Paragon Martial Arts; Cosmos Cleave…"

The instant the Capra King finished saying these words, his body trembled without his control, and a stunned expression appeared on his face before he chuckled.

"What an arrogant and powerful martial art. Just speaking the name invoked a feeling of fear and awe deep in my soul. Only in the presence of the Old Ones have I ever felt like this, but just saying the name of a martial art made my entire body, soul, and being, feel fear and awe."

The Capra King suddenly chuckled once more while covering his face with his upper left hand.

"Paragon Martial Art… Paragon Martial Art… A martial art that is above all other martial arts."

The Capra King slowly lowered his hand, and then he stared at Corey with eyes that showed immense greed, desire, and hunger.

"Now you have three things I want… The infinity crystal in you, your knowledge of the Paragon Martial Art, and… your body. The energy in your body is extremely pure, purer than anything I've come across."

"I so much want to devour you."

The Capra King brought out his tongue which to Corey's slight surprise, was longer than he expected, and then the Capra King slowly licked his lips.

Corey frowned when he saw this, "That's gay."

The Capra King tilted his head to the side, and then he shook his head slightly.

"Although I don't know what 'gay' means, I couldn't care less."

The Capra King was about to take a step, but Corey quickly spoke.

"Gay means when a male is sexually attracted to other males and not females, or when a female is sexually attracted to other females and not males."

The Capra King paused and frowned in disgust, "Even the Old Ones are not so demented to go against the natural way of things in terms of procreation."

Corey was about to reply, however, the instant he blinked, his pupils suddenly constricted to a needle point as the face of the Capra King appeared directly in front of his face.

"I guess you've recovered enough right?"

Corey's mouth remained open for a second, and before his main consciousness could overcome the shock of the sudden appearance of the Capra King the stars of consciousness that were in charge over his body controlled his body.

His hands moved, instantly placing his axe in front of his body. The first thing Corey heard was the sound, a sound so loud that Corey's ears instantly bled as a result of the sound.

Then the next thing he saw in his Eyes of Omniscience was a blur. He saw the upper left hand of the Capra King move, and then he saw nothing else. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When his main consciousness came back to his senses, he saw himself flying, and a few seconds later, he crashed into the ground with an extremely loud BANG!
