Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon-Chapter 738 - 737: Meeting Up With Divine (2)
The moment Corey increased the output of his Eyes of Omniscience, he saw Kiefer, Selene, and Rosa who was now awake, standing with weapons in their hands.
Their bodies contained injuries that were not severe but we're a lot.
In front of them was the Director of the Underworld... The Clown.
The Clown had a light smile on his face as he held Divine's neck and slowly increased the force on his neck.
Seeing Divine's expression of fury and hate, The Clown's smile widened.
"I'm-"
Bang!
He was just about to speak, but he snapped his head to the right just as the door was slashed open and Corey burst through it.
A surprised light flashed in his eyes when he saw Corey, and with a calm expression, he raised his hand at the incoming axe slash.
Black scales along with long sharp claws appeared on his hand, and the axe slash collided with his scale-covered palm.
A screeching sound echoed in the room as Corey's attack collided with The Clown's hand.
The Clown looked at his palm with curiousity, meanwhile, Corey appeared beside the Clown's arm and swung the Phantom Axe at the Clown's arm that was holding Divine's neck.
As he was swinging the phantom axe at the Clown's arms, he saw scales appear on the Clown's arms and Corey frowned.
The glow in his pure white eyes brightened, and Corey instantly saw the imperfections and weak points on the Clown's arms, even with the scales.
'There are not a lot of imperfections I can cut through.'
Although Corey had this thought, he did not stop swinging the phantom axe at the Clown's arm.
Clang!
Puchi!
"Ugh."
A groan escaped Corey's lips when he clashed with a shield made out of Mystic Force that suddenly appeared above his arm.
Corey took a step back and grabbed Divine, before taking several lightning-quick steps to the back.
"Tch... Only a light cut."
Corey muttered with a displeased expression, and then he shifted his gaze from the Clown to Divine.
A deep frown emerged on his face when he saw how messed up Divine's internals were.
His mana pathways, meridians, bones, and muscles were damaged to a degree where Corey could not help but wonder if Divine had not just crippled himself.
Worst of all, Corey could see cracks on Divine's mana core and his heart was beating so fast to the point that it was emitting immense heat with every beat.
After grabbing Divine from The Clown's grip, he fell unconscious, and Corey knew that the reason why Divine had been conscious was because of the rage and hate he had towards The Clown, and also because of the presence of Kiefer, Rosa, and Selene.
If he fell, they would fall too without a doubt.
"You fool."
Corey shook his head with a disappointed expression, and then he placed his right hand on Divine's scalding hot left chest.
Corey's hand sizzled, and he glanced at his Ghost Gloves. He could feel them getting damaged, and he furrowed his brows slightly.
After seeing that the gloves were not going to be damaged beyond repair because of the heat, he shifted his gaze towards Kiefer, Rosa, and Selene.
He raised his hand, and then he sent three balls of Dream Healing into their bodies.
As for Divine, he needed to be the one to heal Divine to at least make sure he didn't die.
However, was such a thing going to be possible with the presence of The Clown? ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"I can't believe it, you really were able to cut through my defenses and injure me with just your intent and not an actual weapon."
"I knew it was powerful and unique, but not to this extent... Or is it yours that's just powerful and unique?"
The Clown spoke with curious eyes as he looked at the bleeding cut on his right arm.
He brought his arm to his mouth and then licked it. A satisfied sigh escaped his lips, and then he smiled at Corey.
"I want your powers... But my instincts are telling me that if I face you now, I might win but I'll lose a lot in the process."
Corey raised a brow, "Why don't you just say you're scared."
The Clown chuckled, and then he vanished into his shadows in the blink of an eye.
Corey's eyes glowed sharply, and a bright flash of light along with the sound of thunder resounded in the room as he appeared beside Kiefer in the blink of an eye.
BOOM!
A huge gust of wind exploded out from behind Kiefer, causing Kiefer, Selene, and Rosa to exclaim.
Kiefer screamed as he was almost thrown off his feet, but a hand held him in place and prevented him from moving.
"is that what you do? Attacking somebody much weaker than you?"
"Yes actually. That's something I can do and would gladly do to win."
Kiefer opened his eyes and looked at Corey. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Corey holding the wrist of The Clown with a bone-chilling expression.
In the Clown's hand was a pistol that was pointed at him, and a chill crept up his spine when he realized that he was extremely close to death's door.
"Drop it if you don't want to lose an arm."
Corey's cold voice resounded in the room as he gripped The Clown's arm so hard to the point that even Kiefer, Rosa, and Selene could hear the creaking of his bones.
"Huuuuuuu... So cold." The Clown chuckled with a wide smile, and then he raised his other hand.
"Alright, alright. I give."
Corey furrowed his brows, and was about to leave The Clown's hand because of Divine. The longer he delayed healing him, the worse Divine's condition would become.
But just as he was about to let go of The Clown's wrist, his gaze sharpened when he felt a spatial fluctuation in The Clown's other hand.
"Psyche."
The Clown laughed, and Corey's eyes widened in anger.
In The Clown's other hand was another gun, and this time around, the gun was pointing at the unconscious Divine.
BANG!
The Clown shot without even wasting a single second, and the world THRUMMED.
In the blink of a Tier 4s eye, The Clown's arm was cut off immediately the gun was fired, but the sickening laughter of The Clown echoed in the room despite his severed arm.
Corey looked down with cold eyes, and he saw it. In the muzzle of the gun was a flower.
The gun was a fake. It had not fired a bullet but released a flower.
Corey looked at Divine, and he saw that Divine was completely fine.
Corey's mind went blank and for the first time in a very long time, he was stunned. He felt The Clown slipping into his shadows.
"I would have loved to spend more time with you, but unfortunately I cannot do that... By the way, I left a gift for all of you outside the Underworld."
"I'm sure you'll love it."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
