Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon



(Six Days Later)

Just like when Corey faced the third generation Paragon, Corey sat in a cross-legged position with his eyes closed.

A few seconds passed and Corey opened his eyes with his brows furrowed. His eyes moved, then landed on his opponent, the second generation Paragon who was also seating in a cross-legged position.

When he agreed to battle the second generation Paragon, all he had in his mind was on how he could defeat the second generation Paragon, but when he saw the appearance of the second generation Paragon, he was extremely stunned and baffled.

He looked at the second generation Paragon who was a girl that had the appearance of a ten year old who was wearing a plain silver dress.

Even with her eyes closed, Corey had never seen a female that was as beautiful as this ten year old girl.

But this young girl which looked beautiful and innocent, was definitely the most dangerous and powerful young girl he had ever encountered.

"I might actually lose this time around."

"Normal humans should definitely not face Paragons."

Corey muttered underneath his breath, then he released a soft sigh. He touched the left side of his chest where Rhea's tattoo was located and he spoke.

"I'm lucky that healing pills are given to both the challenger and their pets after passing each trial."

After speaking, he looked at his left chest and spoke:

"Are you ready Rhea?

Corey spoke and a small smile formed on his face when he received a positive mental response from Rhea.

"It's all or nothing now."

Corey sighed then with a determined expression, he got up and brought out the ancient spear from his spatial ring.

He looked at the second generation Paragon for a second then he spoke:

"I want to change the environment before I start the battle."

[TO WHAT?]

With intrigue in her tone, the female voice asked and this time, Corey noticed the intrigue in her tone but he didn't think too deeply concerning it and instead, gave his request.

"I want the environment to be that of a dead forest with tall, big trees. The trees should not have a single leaf and they should not be able to get burnt. Also, the branches should not be easily breakable."

After Corey spoke, the female voice did not respond for at least five seconds causing Corey to frown slightly.

[ALTHOUGH IT'S A STRANGE ENVIRONMENT TO CHOOSE FROM, YOUR REQUEST SHALL BE GRANTED]

The female voice said with an interested tone and in the next instant, Corey's environment changed to what he requested for.

His surroundings which previously looked like that of a battle-ridden city, now looked like a forest, but this forest was dead just like he wished, in fact it was better than he wanted.

The grasses at his feet were all brown and dead, the trees around him looked old and withered. The trees did not have leaves just like he wanted, thereby making the trees have leafless branches.

[IS IT TO YOUR LIKING?]

The female voice asked and Corey finally stopped looking around. He looked at the cross-legged sitting second generation Paragon and with a nod, he spoke:

"It's better than I wanted. You can start the battle now."

[AS YOU WISH]

The moment the female voice spoke, a fist sized white ball of light floated above the head of the second generation Paragon and a second later, it entered into the body of the second generation Paragon.

After the fist sized white ball of light entered the body of the second generation Paragon, her eyes fluttered open, and just like the third generation Paragon, she had a confused expression at first before it receded and an expression of recognition appeared in her eyes.

She stood then looked around, but just as she did, a baffled expression appeared on her face when she saw her surroundings.

She spent a few seconds to look at her surroundings before her gaze landed on Corey, and just as it did, the barrier which was around Corey and the second generation Paragon disappeared.

"So you're my opponent this time around."

With the cute tone of a cute ten year old, the second generation Paragon spoke with folded arms causing anybody that heard her voice to think the second generation Paragon was just cute and harmless, but Corey knew how dangerous this 'cute' and 'harmless' little girl was.

"I'm curious, what made you to choose this environment?"

The second generation Paragon asked, expecting a reply from her opponent, but to her immense shock, her opponent did something she never expected him to do.

Her opponent turned around… and ran.

"…"

An extremely baffled expression appeared on her face for two seconds before she came out of her stunned state and with a dissatisfied expression, she stretched out her hand and a chain appeared from thin air.

"Where do you think you're going?"

The young girl spoke and with a wave of her hand, she flung her chain towards Corey.

Normally, if one looked at the length of the chain, one would never expect the chain to reach Corey but as the chain moved towards Corey, the chain lengthened at an extremely fast rate.

Corey who already expected such an attack was not bothered and instead waited until he got close to a tree then turned to the side of the tree in a quick and finesse manner.

Bang

"Damn it."

The young girl cursed as her chain slammed into the tree, though her tone and expression were extremely cute.

"Don't think you can run away from me."

The young girl spoke and with a bang, she dashed towards Corey at an extremely fast speed, destroying the ground in the process.

Meanwhile Corey who was busy running in a haphazard manner while touching various trees had a calm expression.

'Fog Manipulation.'

With a thought, Corey produced a thick fog around his body and without bothering about his mana expenditure, he increased the range of the fog while making sure it remained thick.

'Vibration Manipulation'

As the thick fog around Corey was produced, Corey used vibration manipulation through his feet causing the ground to vibrate with every step Corey took.

After doing that, Corey slowed down a little and he touched a tree.

'You know what to do Rhea.'

Corey thought and just as he had this thought, an incorporeal Rhea appeared from his chest and with a flap of her wings, she flew into the tree and an image of Rhea appeared on the tree for an instant before it receded.

Seeing Rhea use one of her skills, Possession which could only be used on non-living objects, Corey continued running while producing thick fog.

Around five seconds passed and just as Corey was running, he stopped, turned around and looked up with a slight frown.

In the distance, up in the air, Corey could feel an immense amount of mana that made him shiver slightly.

'This is going to become dangerous.'
