Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 265 264: Black Gate

"Where am I?"

Corey had a baffled expression as he tried to observe his surroundings which was made of complete darkness.

He looked around, and tried to look for something different in the extremely dark space he was in. But despite looking around, he saw nothing but darkness.

He looked at his body and to his surprise, he realized that he was completely naked. His clothes which were made up of Nina's nanobots were no longer available.

Also, he could not sense Nina in his body.

"I guess I truly died."

Corey mumbled as he remembered his last moments before he died.

He had tried his best to resist the intense pain he went through after absorbing the finger. But even with his high pain tolerance, determination, and desire for strength, he could not hold on.

His body and soul was torn apart from the energy of the finger.

The pain was truly unlike anything he had gone through. Especially the pain from his right index finger, it was too painful.

He never wanted to go through the pain again.

Corey glanced at his right index finger, and he frowned.

His finger was gone!

"What's the meaning of this?"

Corey frowned deeply as he looked at his missing finger. It didn't look like his finger had been cut off, but more like it had never existed.

It almost seemed like the number of the fingers on his right hand had always been four!

Corey's frown deepened as he could not make sense of what was going on.

Although, he knew that his missing finger was definitely related to the finger he consumed, he just didn't understand what had actually happened.

Corey sighed, then he looked around.

He never knew that death would be like this.

Staying in a dark place for who knows how long?

Possibly eternity?

Corey released a deep sigh filled with regret.

He couldn't have his revenge on the pope.

He couldn't avenge his parents.

He could not save his sister.

He could not prove to Nina that he was unworthy to have the Paragon Ancestor's blood in him.

He had failed a lot of people.

"I'll probably run mad at some point in time."

A soft chuckle filled with calmness and acceptance escaped Corey's lips as he decided to take a sitting posture.

Since he had died, he might as well rest for a short period of time right?

Maybe for eternity right?

Just as Corey had this thought, his head snapped to a certain direction.

"What's that?"

Corey squinted his eyes as he thought he had seen a light flash in the distance.

He waited, and just when he thought he was probably seeing things, the light flashed again.

Excitement flashed in Corey's eyes when he noticed the flash once again.

Having something occur in this dark space was much better than nothing occuring in the dark space.

Other it could be dangerous, he was already dead.

What else could happen to him when he had died.

Besides, he didn't want to stay in the dark space forever.

Suprisingly, as Corey dashed forward, he noticed that it was like he was running on solid ground, even when there was obviously nothing beneath his feet.

'Strange.'

Corey thought, then he dismissed his thought as he kept on running to the extremely faint black light that kept on flashing at random intervals.

An unknown amount of time went by as Corey kept on running to the black light.

He didn't know how long he had been running. Sometimes it felt like a few seconds. Sometimes, like a few minutes. Sometimes, it felt like he had been running for hours.

His sense of time in the dark space was literally non-existent.

Corey eventually reached the source of the black light, and a baffled light appeared in his eyes.

"A gate?"

Corey had a confused glint as he looked at a black gate that was so high to the point that Corey could not see it.

The gate had black inscriptions, and extremely thick white chains around the gate.

As Corey observed the gate, he noticed something.

His strength was returning, and a stream of information flowed into his mind.

The information was concise and ominous.

The information stated two things:

.cοm First, he only had two chances to break apart the black gate or he would truly die.

Second, the longer he stayed in the dark space, the lower his strength would become, then he would truly die.

When Corey received the two informations, he frowned slightly as he looked at the black gate.

"How powerful is the gate?"

Corey mumbled with a tinge of dissatisfaction in his tone.

He didn't know how strong the defensive capabilities of the gate was, nor did he know what abilities the gate or the chains had.

Corey lacked so much information regarding the gate, and this irked him.

"Whatever. I'll just use everything I have."

Corey's eyes glinted with blazing determination as he looked at the gate.

He spread out his two palms, and a red and black saber appeared in his right and left hand respectively.

The Demonic Sabers!

"Never thought I'd use them so soon."

A solemn expression appeared on Corey's face as he looked at the demonic sabers which were radiating an energy that would send chills down the spine of countless people.

'If I wasn't a Demi-Paragon, I'd be dead just from the amount of blood the red saber was absorbing.'

Corey thought, then he shook his head.

"Thankfully, nobody is watching me."

Corey mumbled, and the moment he did, the demonic sabers vibrated intensely.

[Vibration Manipulation: Novice → Advanced]

[Killing Intent: Basic → Intermediate]

[Axe Intent: Basic -> Intermediate]

[Dreamfire Manipulation: Basic -> Novice]

A plethora of skills appeared around the demonic sabers, causing the dual sabers to glow with a multicolored light.

Corey looked at the two sabers, then he looked at the gate.

"Flash Step."

In the blink of an eye, Corey appeared before the gate, and he swung the demonic sabers on the gate with a ferocious might.

BOOM!
