Chapter 509 : 508: No Reaction
Chapter 509 : 508: No Reaction
Pamela's battle with Zal'Zerael occurred for more than thirty minutes, and in those thirty minutes, Corey had regained his consciousness.
Before he lost consciousness, he assigned certain duties to his stars of consciousness, and one of them was the recovery of his body and energies.
The injuries he sustained against Aethara were grievous and lethal, and what made it worse was that his dream energy was extremely low, about 1%, from the moment he lost consciousness.
This made it difficult for his stars of consciousness to heal his body rapidly.
However, luckily for him, the rate at which he recovered and absorbed dream energies was extremely high because of his Paragon's Celestial Veins, his Cosmic Soul, and his stars of consciousness which managed the recovery and absorption rate of his energies to the best of their abilities.
After recovering his dream energy to a sufficient level, his stars of consciousness healed his body, and he regained consciousness approximately twenty-five minutes later.
After regaining his consciousness, Corey thought he was going to see the corpse of either Pamela and Raegar, or he was going to see Pamela and Raegar engaged in a brutal battle.
However, he was shocked and stunned when he saw a massive spherical barrier that was merely ten meters from him.
The barrier had runes which he did not recognize on it, and flickering bolts of crimson lightning. At first, he was baffled by the presence of the barrier, but later on, he got to realize that the barrier was an Imperium.
When he realized that the barrier was actually an Imperium, he was stunned because from what he could see, the size of the Imperium was thrice as large as Aethara's, and it was also more powerful.
It took Corey a few minutes for multiple scenarios to appear in his mind as to what was most likely happening, and what he came up with was that either Raegar or Pamela had invoked their Imperium and they were battling each other.
However, there was a problem with this conclusion.
Although this was an obvious conclusion from what he knew, the major problem with it was that the aura he could sense from the Imperium did not belong to either Pamela or Raegar.
The closest thing the aura resembled was the dark cloudy sky of the Raging Sky.
Corey was confused by this, however, he knew he had to do something.
Regardless of whether it was Pamela, Raegar, or an unknown entity that owned the Imperium, it did not matter to Corey because he would most likely have to fight all of them.
If it was Raegar, he would have to fight Raegar because he was Raegar's enemy.
If it was an unknown entity, there was a high possibility that he'd have to fight the unknown being since the being was fighting his temporary Pamela.
If it was Pamela, he had a feeling that he'd still have to fight her at the end of the day because they most likely came to the Raging Sky for the infinity crystal in the death zone.
It was mainly because of this reason that he chose not to perform any of the techniques of the Paragon Martial Arts against Aethara. He had a feeling that Pamela was watching him, and if he chose to use the techniques of the Paragon Martial Arts, she would know his most powerful skills.
Knowing that he needed a way to survive any incoming battle against either of the three possibilities, Corey came up with a plan.
He took inspiration from his battle against Aethara and decided to use his Hexagon Nova Shield.
He created hexagon sentinels from his hexagon barriers, and he commanded the hexagon constructs to enter the Imperium.
One thing Corey knew about Imperiums was that it was somewhat easy to enter an Imperium, but leaving was a much different case.
Although it was easy to enter an Imperium, one must have sufficient strength to survive the spatial pressure and natural defences of an Imperium barrier. If one did not possess sufficient strength, he or she or it, would perish before they could even take a step into the Imperium.
Corey knew this, and he was not worried about his hexagon sentinels not being able to pass through the barrier. With his knowledge of space and his somewhat high affinity for space even with his partially activated void phoenix heart, he could pass through the barrier.
What he was actually worried about was what the owner of the Imperium would do if they noticed that another individual entered their domain.
However, to his surprise, disbelief, and luck, there was no reaction from the owner of the Imperium after his hexagon sentinels entered the Imperium.
He had no idea if it was that the owner did not care, did not notice, or was too busy to notice, but he did not care.
His hexagon sentinels successfully entered the Imperium, however, it could not last up to three seconds because of the immense pressure and power in the Imperium.
But Corey did not care. He kept on creating more and more hexagon sentinels, and every single time they got destroyed, he felt relieved because that meant the amount of energy that would be stored in the hexagon barriers would be immense if he could keep on doing it.
To his surprise, even when he sent more than ten hexagon sentinels into the Imperium, there was no reaction from the owner of the Imperium, however, just a fraction of the power and energy he got from the destruction of his hexagon sentinels was immense.
What Corey did not know was that the reason why Zal'Zerael did not react to his daring actions was because the hexagon sentinels were not living, they did not last more than a few seconds, and mainly because Pamela warranted his entire focus.
Even when Corey felt like his Hexagon Nova Shield had already reached its limit, he pushed past his limit and kept on containing more and more energy in his Hexagon barriers.
Eventually, the Imperium receded, and he saw a broken, battered, bloodied, and gravely wounded Pamela.
To say that he was not shaken or taken aback by Pamela's condition would be a lie, but when he saw the titanic corpse of the draconic abomination, Zal'Zerael, he had an inkling as to what sort of battle Pamela fought.
To his luck and surprise, despite talking with Pamela for so long while subtly manipulating the runes, space, and environment around Pamela, she did not notice the hexagon barriers he placed in a twenty-meter radius around her.
And when he had enough of Pamela, he detonated every single accumulated energy in the hexagon barriers and released unto Pamela with cold eyes.
