Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

421  420: Last Resort

'You've got to be kidding me.'

For a moment, Corey forgot about the Capra King who stood over him with four menacing golden weapons, and the disbelief and surprise on his face were not hidden at all.

The Capra King frowned slightly when he saw Corey's expression. The two eyes by the side of his head moved, and he saw it.

He heard the sound of thunder, and the hair on his body straightened.

Without wasting a single second, the Capra King placed his two swords above his head. A second later,

CLAP!

KABOOM!!

"Shit!"

An extremely loud and powerful explosion resounded from the Capra King's position, and Corey cursed as the powerful shockwaves slammed into his body, sending him flying once more.

A second after the explosion resounded, the voice of the Capra King flowed into Corey's ears.

"Although I somewhat expected you to do this, since you didn't act even after so long, I thought you were sincere about being my slave especially when you saw how vast the difference in my power and the power of the Disciple of The Old Ones is."

The Capra King nonchalantly said as he stared at Selene who was gritting her bloodied teeth while trying to push down her lightning-coated feet on the Capra King.

With the same indifferent expression, the Capra King pushed back Selene while crossing his golden swords above his head.

Selene's expression changed.

"Although you almost caught me off guard, you're just way too weak."

Selene's instincts screamed at her, and she instantly tried to back away. However, the Capra King instantly let go of one of his swords and grabbed her left leg.

"I never said you could go. A traitor like you should be punished."

The Capra King tightened his grip on Selene's leg, almost breaking her bones. Just as Selene was about to scream, the Capra King swung her in the air a few times, and then he slammed her on the ground.

Karrghhhh!!!

22:29

Selene's eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she lost consciousness. Before she could enjoy the bliss of losing consciousness, the Capra King stepped on her stomach, causing her to cough out blood mixed with spit.

Her hazy eyes glanced at the Capra King's feet before shifting towards the apathetic face of the Capra King.

"You've reached a higher state of existence unlike the Disciple of The Old Ones, but you have nothing… There's nothing special about you, and you're below average in my eyes." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Capra King indifferently said, and then he pointed his spear at Selene's chest.

"Worthless and pathetic beings like you do not deserve to breathe the same air that I breathe."

Selene's eyes widened in fear when she saw the Capra King thrust his spear at her heart. She wanted to move, but the Capra King's feet were just too heavy for her to move.

Just as her life was about to flash before her eyes, she heard an extremely familiar voice in her mind.

'DON'T RESIST.'

Before she could think about what these words meant, Selene felt a foreign spatial energy engulf her body, and just as the Capra King's spear was about to pierce her heart, she vanished.

However, when she vanished, a rock with flickering silver runes appeared in her previous exact spot, and the Capra King's already descending spear shattered it to pieces.

The Capra King's eyes flickered with visible surprise. He turned to his left, and he looked in the distance.

'She was teleported so far away?'

The Capra King thought, and then he shifted his gaze towards the shattered rock. He frowned for a second, and then he looked at Corey.

"You did that?... You swapped her position with a rock?"

The Capra King asked curiously, and Corey smiled.

He was happy that the Capra King chose to ask questions since that gave him more time to heal and recover his energy. Even a second was precious to him.

"I did. Although I find it quite foolish of her to attack you despite how weak she is, I can't let her die. She's still my slave and I gave my word to her mother."

"Is that so?" The Capra King questioned sarcastically with an indifferent expression, and Corey's lips twitched slightly.

"Are you curious how I was able to swap here with a rock?"

The Capra King suddenly smiled, and Corey had goosebumps when he saw the smile.

"Not really."

Corey was about to speak, but just as his lips parted open to speak, he saw the Capra King's lower right arm blur, and a second later, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Corey's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked down, only to see one of the Capra King's golden spears piercing right through his stomach.

'So fast. I couldn't even react when he threw the spear… I would have died a long time ago if he just decided to do this to me.'

'All the countless invisible hexagon barriers I put around my body were shattered to pieces instantly.'

'This is bad… '

A light smile appeared on Corey's lips, and then he staggered slightly. He tried to remain on his feet, but he was way too weak.

He instinctively stretched out his right hand to try and use his axe as a stand, but a second later, he remembered that his axe was on the ground.

'... Ah, shit.'

Corey cursed internally as he slowly fell to the ground.

'The axe contains a familiar type of energy?... What is-... Oh, it's the energy from an infinity crystal.'

'The energy is making it harder for me to heal myself… I'm bleeding out.'

'I guess this is really it huh?... I have no other choice… I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but I have to use my last resort.'

Despite the grievous injury he had, Corey's expression was calm. No sign of panic or despair could be seen on his face. However, only Corey knew that he was feeling a little bit fearful internally.

And this feeling of fear was mainly because of what he planned on doing next.

Step

Step

Step

The Capra King suddenly appeared beside him, and Corey stared into the eyes of the Capra King.

"Although you were weak, Disciple of The Old Ones, you used some intriguing abilities while being annoying at the same time."

"As the catalyst for my evolution, I'll choose to remember you, Disciple of The Old Ones."

When Corey heard the Capra King's words, he could not help but chuckle. The Capra King frowned slightly, and then he tilted his head with a curious expression.

"Who said I'm going to die? Death can have me when I allow it."

The Capra King became stunned and was about to speak, but then he caught sight of an object appearing from thin air in the palm of Corey's right hand.

The Capra King turned and stared at the object with an intrigued expression.

"What's that?"

"This?" Corey turned and glanced at the vial that contained a faint golden liquid in it. Corey chuckled once again.

"If it was in some video games or novels of my word, this would be a high-level healing potion. But as an alchemical product, this is a Golden Lotus Restoration Dew."

The Capra King frowned. He did not know why, but his instincts were warning him of an impending danger. He looked around, but he saw nothing that could be the source of the danger.

'It doesn't look like it's the strange liquid that's in his hand. So why are my instincts warning me of an impending danger?'

The Capra King's frown deepened, and then he stared at Corey.

"You said this is a healing potion. Do you think I'll just allow you to drink this liquid and heal yourself? Besides, I know you have a self-healing skill."

Corey smiled when he heard the words of the Capra King. He released a soft sigh, and then he stared at the dark space above them.

"You're not wrong, but you're wrong about one thing…" Corey shifted his gaze, and then he stared directly into the eyes of the Capra King.

"The main reason I brought the elixir out was not to heal myself, but to summon a tribulation."

The Capra King was stunned, "Summon a tribulation?"

The instant he said these words, the space above them instantly cracked like it was a mirror.
