Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 472 : 471: Damn It

"Why don't we end this."

The instant Aethara spoke these words, Corey and Selene's expressions changed. Their instincts sent warning signals to them, and without hesitation, they jumped away from Aethara.

Lightning appeared on Selene's feet as she increased the distance between her and Aethara, meanwhile, Corey used the skill, Super Jump, to distance himself from Aethara.

However…

PUCHI!

Long thorny crimson vines shot out from her armor-like gown woven from enchanted silk and thorny vines. The speed of the vines was as fast as the speed of lightning, and in less than the blink of an eye, the crimson vines shot out and pierced Corey in his abdomen, and Selene in her right shoulder.

The expressions of both Corey and Selene changed the instant they saw the crimson vines in their bodies.

The speed of the vines was just too fast for them to react to!

Blood spilled out from their injuries, and the force of the attack sent them tumbling to the ground.

Corey quickly came to a stop, and then he glanced at his abdomen where a gaping hole could be seen. Blood poured out from his mouth, and then he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

COUGH!

Corey used his left hand to cover his mouth, and then he looked at his blood. It was black and it also emitted a putrid scent that made him scrunch his brows in disgust.

'Poison… Wait, no…'

Corey calmly shifted his gaze to his abdomen, and a slightly surprised and baffled expression appeared on his face when he saw the gaping hole in his abdomen.

The injury was becoming black and cracks could be seen on the edges of the injury that was rapidly spreading. The injury was visibly becoming worse, and a deep frown could be seen on Corey's face.

'... Rot… My skin is rotting?'

Corey recalled Aethara's previous words, and according to her, what she controlled was the power of Rot.

Corey coughed out another mouthful of black blood, and then he clenched his axe tightly while slowly getting up. He wiped off the black blood from his lips, and then he glanced at Aethara who had an indifferent, calm, and bored expression as she watched him get up without interfering.

A light smile appeared on his lips when he saw the indifference and boredom on Aethara's face, and he could not help but chuckle softly.

'She said she doesn't use poison but the power of Rot…'

Corey touched the gaping hole in his chest, and a second later, the spreading rot stopped, and his injury started healing at a visible pace, and a tinge of surprise and disbelief could be seen on Aethara's face.

'... The power of rot is the same as poison to me, and if it's poison… I can easily deal with it…'

Corey coughed out another mouthful of black blood which his body was actively expelling out of his body while absorbing a part of it.

'... Not only am I a Poison Warlock, I have the Poison Infinity Crystal in me, and there's no way something like 'Rot' would kill me.'

Corey shifted his gaze from the surprised Aethara to Selene. When he saw her condition, his eyes flickered, and then he teleported to her side.

Unlike him, the rot was spreading much faster in Selene's body even though she was a Mystic Being, and the crimson vine had pierced her right shoulder, not her abdomen as it did to him.

Corey saw her gritting her teeth with the veins on her neck and head almost popping out as she held her right shoulder while using her mystic mana to prevent the rot from spreading, however, the power of the rot was stronger than her mystic mana and it ate at her mystic mana, slowly draining her of the mana in her body while spreading at a fast pace.

When Corey saw this, he quickly grabbed her right shoulder, and then he infused dream energy into her body by using Dream Healing.

His Eyes of Omniscience was able to see through her body, and he controlled the dream energy to neutralize the rot in her body. This barely took five seconds, and in those three seconds, Aethara did not attack.

Her piercing gold eyes did not hide the surprise in her as she watched Corey easily dispel one of her proudest and feared abilities in Stormhold City and even the shattered dimension of the Old Ones.

Her gaze shifted from the healing injury on Selene's right shoulder to the almost completely healed injury on Corey's abdomen, and then to Corey's face.

"Hey…"

She called out, and Corey turned to face her with his brows raised.

"... Join me… Be my subordinate, and I'll make sure that Raegar does not harm or kill you."

Aethara said, and Corey was genuinely taken aback. He cocked his head to the side and stared into Aethara's eyes, desiring to know if she was joking or not.

When he saw the seriousness in her eyes, Corey shook his head softly with a chuckle, and then he looked at Selene who was now getting to her feet.

"Can you fight?"

Selene nodded, and Corey stood. He grabbed his axe with both hands while twisting his neck to the side which then produced loud cracking sounds.

"Let's go."

The instant Corey said these words, lightning appeared on both their feet, and with a loud bang, they ran toward Aethara, leaving bolts of lightning in their wake.

In less than two seconds, they reached Aethara, and they instantly swung their weapons at Aethara.

Selene's weapon was covered in blue lightning, meanwhile, Corey's axe glowed in a multitude of colors.

With bone-chilling expressions, they swung their weapons at Aethara at the same time, and the ground beneath them shattered and a massive shockwave which produced a massive dust cloud was produced as a result of the attack.

BANG!

WHOOSH!

"Now… you're annoying me."

Aethara's voice rang out in the dust cloud, and the dust cloud cleared to reveal Aethara standing in the same spot without moving an inch.

Her hands were nonchalantly crossed as she blocked Corey's massive axe and Selene's sword with her two sabers.

"Selene."

Corey ignored Aethara's words and looked at Selene with his pure white eyes.

Selene looked back at him, "Yes?"

"Show me that you're not useless."

Selene dryly laughed and then she cursed softly, "Damn it."

Aethara furrowed her brows in annoyance, and then she swung her sabers upward, pushing Corey and Selene away. Before a second passed, she swung her saber at Selene, and Selene's eyes widened in disbelief.

'Damn it! Are you not supposed to attack and focus on Master since he's the monster among us?'
