Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 548 547: Provocation

After teleporting far away from the path of the water spear, his Master's voice drifted into his ears.

"Make sure she doesn't disturb me and buy as much time as you can."

The corners of Corey's lips twitched when he heard this. 'Master, even though you don't know what I'm capable of, do you really think I can prevent a Power from disturbing you if she wants to?... I'm still a Tier 2 damn it.'

Although Corey had this thought, his Genesis Armament appeared in his hands, and he twirled the massive weapon like he was holding a drumstick.

"Hey, Vaerina, the so-called Queen of the Shattered Sea. I have a question to ask you"

Corey's voice cut through the tension-filled atmosphere, and Vaerina paused her brewing attack in order to listen to what Corey wanted to say.

"I've been curious ever since I gazed upon your… 'unique' appearance. Do you actually give birth to those ugly things down there? And if you do, how many disgusting rods have you taken inside your ugly disgusting little hole?"

"..."

Silence

A tense and uncomfortable silence filled the realm above the Eternal Waterfall. For a moment, even the moving motes of light and the gushing water from the black pot paused.

"Oh, my dear foolish disciple… You're so fucked."

Old Man Poison's voice cut through the tense and uncomfortable silence, and from the bird's eye view of his Eyes of Omniscience, he could see his Master shake his head with a surprised but disappointed expression.

Even Melissa had an expression of disgust and surprise after hearing his words.

'Don't look at me like that you guys. I'm just trying to buy as much time as I can just like you said, Master. Start executing your plan, Master.'

Although Corey had this thought, his expression was calm and stoic as he gazed at Vaerina who had recovered from her stunned state.

"Did you just call my children… ugly?"

She asked, and Corey raised his brows. "I don't know which is worse, your children or your damned disgusting voice."

The second Corey said these words, Vaerina who had been hovering above the ground flew towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Despite his experiences with the Capra King and Aethara, Vaerina's speed was too much for him to react to. Although her condition was strange and if he was correct, she was sealed and could not use all her powers, Vaerina was still a Power that was stronger than an average Tier 6.

Corey was just a mere Tier 2, there was no way his physical attributes could be compared to hers in any way.

However, there was no need for him to react to her attack because he had already anticipated such a situation.

A hexagon barrier that was thirty meters in front of Corey flashed the instant Vaerina crashed through the barrier like a piece of paper. The instant the barrier was destroyed, the fragments of the barrier detonated and a loud and powerful explosion that was more than twenty meters wide resounded across the Realm above the Eternal Waterfall.

Corey allowed himself to be flung away from the massive shockwave of the explosion so that he could increase the distance himself from the Queen of the Shattered Sea.

'Although I used the force and energy that was absorbed by my barriers from her water spear attack, I doubt it's going to cause any damage to her. At best, I can only hope for some superficial injuries… No matter what, I have to distance myself from her.'

'She's a Power and according to my Master, I only need to stall for time and make sure all her attention is on me… Hopefully, Master's plan works or we might be royally fucked.'

Corey's expression was one of calmness and immense focus as he stared at the smoke that had been produced as a result of the explosion.

Whoosh!

Thick black tentacles that were dripping with a corrosive black liquid tore through the smoke, and as Corey's back was about to hit the ground, he placed his hand on the ground and propelled himself further backwards.

His feet slid across the glassy sea which remained calm and undisturbed despite his movements, and then the black tentacles were two meters from reaching him.

However, he sensed and saw something with his Eyes of Omniscience. His eyes widened, and he quickly spun and placed his massive axe in a defensive position to protect his upper body.

There was nothing in the direction Corey was facing, however, in the next two seconds, a massive force slammed into Corey and the sound of huge amounts of water landing on the floor resounded across the realm.

Corey flew backwards with blood dripping from the right side of his mouth, and where he flew to was where the black tentacles were located. Despite knowing this, Corey did not bother attempting to dodge or block the tentacles.

The tentacles pierced through his body but nothing happened, and Corey's eyes flickered.

'She's good at illusions.'

Corey thought as he landed on the ground with his feet, his pure white eyes glowed brightly, and he quickly looked around. Two seconds later, he looked up, and then he saw Vaerina hovering high up in the air with a surprised expression.

"You could see through… my illusions."

Corey smiled, and then a thought came to his mind, causing his smile to widen.

"Why don't you use your power of illusions to obscure the ugly part of you? At least I won't always be scarred when I remember you."

Explore new worlds at empire

Vaerina's expression and movement froze for a few seconds, and then she screamed in anger.

"DIEEEE!!!!"

The sky trembled and space twisted as Vaerina's aura surged and her immense energy caused the realm to tremble incessantly.

Thousands of weapons made of water appeared in the sky, and when Corey saw this, his smile froze.

Without waiting for a response from Corey, the water weapons flew towards Corey with the rage and immense killing intent of their Queen.
