Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 541 540: A Magic Trick

"Damn it! What the hell is wrong with that fellow?! Does he want to die that much?!"

Ryan's enraged shout was much louder than the raging sound of the colossal waterfall. A massive shockwave flew towards the waterfall, but even after the shockwave hit the waterfall, not even a ripple or a drop of the waterfall was disturbed.

The shockwave was harmlessly dispersed.

In less than a second, an extremely sharp light which emitted a sword howl that could be heard across the entire Shattered Sea flew towards the Eternal Waterfall.

For a moment, it seemed like the sharp light was going to slice apart the waterfall, but as the sharp sword light reached the waterfall, it gradually dispersed and streams of light slowly flowed into the colossal waterfall that was not disturbed in the slightest.

Silence reigned for a single second, and then it was ruthlessly blown away by another shockwave which was then followed by multiple shockwaves along with different coloured lights.

"Damn it you dogshit scaled fish with a handsome face! Get out of my way!."

SMACK!

Kaelan's familiar voice resounded along with the sound of multiple shockwaves and lights that shook the sky and caused waves to emerge in the sea below.

A second after Kaelan's roar of frustration and anger, what followed was a resounding smack that for an unknown reason was much louder and clearer than the other sounds.

"Fucking tentacled bastard! Why do you like smacking my ass so much?!" Kaelan's aggrieved roar which was laced with a tinge of indescribable fear resounded once again.

"A chuckle, accompanied by an old voice filled with thick amusement, responded, 'Maybe it has taken a liking to you and wants to inseminate you with its seed."

Old Man Poison said, and Kaeran shouted with anger and a bit of fear in his voice. "Old Man! I was taught to not hit old people but my hands are feeling itchy to hit something at the moment!"

"Why don't you use those hands to caress your future partner?"

Old Man Poison chuckled, and Kaeran was about to answer, but only a curse escaped his lips.

"Damn it you tentacled freak! Stop going for my ass! Can't you see the asses of those two sexy twins?!"

As Kaeran fought and escaped from the strange attacks of the Tentacled Scourge, Corey who was meters away from Kaelan and the Tentacled Scourge dodged a shadow blade.

Whoosh!

The blade flew above his head, and in less than a second, a visible cold mist escaped his lips. Without a change in his expression and without looking back, he twisted his body mid-air.

A massive halberd flew just a centimetre beneath him, the chill emanating from it froze his clothes for a second before a rune glowed on his clothes. The runes turned to flames, causing the ice on his clothes to turn to water.

A hexagon platform appeared beneath Corey, and the instant he stepped on the platform, he exhaled softly with sweat dripping from his forehead.

Hovering in the air some meters in front of him was a colossal humanoid entity with a single eye on its stomach, a faceless head, mouths on its four hands, and a deep blue fur on its colossal body.

It stretched out two of his hands, and a massive halberd flew into its hands.

The Frost Warden.

Next to the Frost Warden was a formless humanoid creature that was constantly shifting and changing its shape.

The Maw.

Corey gazed at these two abominations for a second, and then he shifted his gaze to his surroundings.

What he saw could only be described with one word.

Chaos.

Fifteen seconds after he left Ryan behind and attempted to reach the top of the Eternal Waterfall, he was surrounded by not only the abominations but Azhrun, Kaelan, Mira and Lyra also surrounded him.

Ryan was so pissed and frustrated to the point that he yanked out some of his hair without noticing. He had no choice but to break through the encirclement and stand by Corey's side to protect him.

Although Ryan wished he could abandon Corey without hesitation, he knew he could not because of the system contract and because of Corey's status as a Runemaster.

Just as a battle between him, Corey, Azhrun, and the abominations was about to unfold, Old Man Poison and Melissa appeared and revealed that they were Corey's allies.

Although Ryan was relieved when he heard this, he was only slightly relieved.

Before any of them knew it, they all started fighting because Kaeran could not hold back himself and attacked Azhrun.

This was the spark that triggered everything, and as Corey gazed at the battles occurring, he could not help but wonder if he should consider himself lucky or not.

'Kaelan is fighting the Tentacled Scourge, and his battle is the weirdest and funniest. For some inexplicable reason, that horrifying abomination likes attacking his ass. A part of me feels sorry for him.'

'Master and Melissa are holding back the twin maidens of the Temple of Water. Luckily for them and me, the twin maidens are not emitting any killing intent at Master and Melissa or they'd be dead before they know it.'

'Ryan is battling the Abyssal Leviathan and Azhrun, and surprisingly, he's holding them back really really well. His attacks laced with sword intent are extremely dangerous, and his movement techniques are also profound. His defensive arts with the sword are also good… He's strong.'

Corey's mind flashed with these thoughts in less than a second, and then he shifted his gaze back at the two abominations in front of him.

'Meanwhile, I'm here, fighting the Maw and the Frost Warden. Oh wait, I'm not fighting them, I'm doing my best to dodge their attacks by moving like a cat.' Corey lampooned inwardly.

He exhaled softly, and then he slapped his hands together.

'Arcane Elemental Runeweaving; Lightning Storm.'

A runic circle rapidly formed in less than two seconds. The glowing circle which was a hundred meters wide spun slowly above the heads of the two abominations and Corey.

The Frost Warden and the Maw glanced at the runic circle for a second, and then they moved.

The Frost Warden threw its halberd at Corey while the Maw became smaller until it disappeared.

BOOM!

The halberd shook the air as it blitzed through the air, meanwhile, beneath Corey's foot was a growing shadow.

"Heh."

He teleported instantly, and the moment he teleported, hands made of shadows appeared from the shadow on the hexagon platform. They attempted to grab Corey but Corey had already disappeared.

A second later, the Frost Warden's halberd went past the shadow hands.

Corey who was far away from all of this smiled, and then he raised his right hand before lowering it.

"Fall."

Thick white bolts of lightning fell from the runic circle above. The sky darkened, and loud booming sounds of thunder resounded on the battlefield in the sky as lightning fell and struck the bodies of the Maw and the Frost Warden.

Corey did not wait to see the result of his attack, instead, he turned to continue his ascent to the top of the Eternal Waterfall while everybody was busy.

PUCHI!

However, just as he turned, a trident appeared out of nowhere, penetrating his heart.

Cough!

Corey's eyes widened in disbelief as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His pure white eyes reflected the image of Azhrun's smirking face.

"You thought you were so smart, cattle?"

A cruel gleam flashed in Azhrun's eyes, and with his smirk widening, he twisted his halberd which was in Corey's chest.

Corey groaned in pain, and he held the trident in an attempt to pull out the trident, but his strength was weaker than Azhrun's who was a talented Tier 5.

"Cattle would always be cattle. Know your place."

Azhrun's cruel voice drifted into Corey's ears, and Corey coughed out another mouthful of blood.

"Any last words before I send you back to the Underworld?"

Azhrun asked, and Corey slowly raised two fingers of his right hand. Azhrun frowned, but then he saw point towards the top of the Eternal Waterfall with his two fingers.

His frown deepened and he looked up. When he did, his eyes widened in sheer disbelief as he saw something he could not comprehend.

"Wha- What? How?"

Standing on top of a hexagon platform was another Corey along with Old Man Poison and Melissa standing beside him.

He saw the Corey above him having an indifferent and cold gaze that made it seem like he was looking at an ant.

'What is this?'

Azhrun looked down, and he saw the same Corey beneath him smile slightly. Seeing this Corey smile, he could no longer hold back himself.

"What is this?" He growled with a menacing look while pushing his trident deeper into Corey's body.

"It's called magic… A magic trick." The dying Corey laughed, and then his body slowly transformed into a fog.
