Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon



(A Few Hours Before Triple X's Match)

In a room which had its walls painted white, a middle aged man in a black armor knelt with his head facing the ground. In front of him was a handsome young man in a white suit who had his head resting on his left fist.

His emotionless brown eyes contained a calculating light as he gazed at the multiple screens on the wall in front of him. His pupils moved towards two particular screens and the image of Triple X and Divine reflected in his pupils.

He gave a brief glance at another screen which showed a thick fog and a slight frown emerged on his face.

"Sir Director. The representatives of The House of Augustus have arrived."

Just as the young man in white suit was about to delve into his train of thoughts, the deep voice of the man in a black armor reverberated in the room, disrupting the director's thoughts.

The director turned towards the kneeling man in black armor, then he rubbed the middle of his brows for a few seconds before speaking:

"I totally forgot about them."

The Director then released a soft sigh and with a calm and elegant movement, he got off the chair and looked at the still kneeling man in black armor.

"You can get up Tristan."

The Director spoke with a tone that contained ingrained authority and a little bit of affection. Hearing the words of the Director, the man in black armor, Tristan, immediately stood.

"Are they in the Black Box?"

The Director asked as he walked past Tristan, and Tristan immediately replied as he followed the Director from behind.

"They are Sir."

"Hmm… Hopefully they don't stress me out too much or make absurd demands."

The Director mumbled as he reached a certain part of the white wall. He placed his hand on the wall and a second later, a wide circular opening appeared on the wall.

The Director and Tristan both walked into the opening and as soon as they did, the opening closed and a few seconds later, a glowing magical circle appeared beneath their feet. And as soon as the magical circle appeared, they transformed into particles of light before disappearing entirely.

(Inside The Black Box)

A similar glowing magical circle appeared in a room that resembled a top class penthouse, and a few seconds later, the figures of The Director and Tristan both appeared in the room.

But as soon as the duo appeared in the room, heavy frowns emerged on their faces, as the scent of blood flowed into their nostrils.

Just as the duo wanted to locate the source of the scent of blood, a charismatic voice which contained a tinge of excitement rang out in the room.

"Haaa… Took you guys long enough. I was getting tired of waiting."

The pupils of both The Director and Tristan constricted due to the shock in their inability to sense the presence of the owner of the voice before he or she spoke. They turned to their backs, and as soon as they saw the scene before them, they both squinted their eyes.

"Look… You guys took so much time that I had no other choice but to perform one of my favorite hobbies… Face painting!"

The shock in the eyes of The Director disappeared after the owner of the voice spoke out, and with cold eyes, he gazed at the owner of the voice who was a man with a clown mask.

The man with a clown mask sat on a long couch with his hands on the shoulders of two face painted corpses and his legs crossed.

On the left and right hand side of the man with a clown mask, was a sitting male and female corpse which had their faces painted, making the duo look like clowns.

The Director's eyes observed the state of the two corpses who were the representatives from the House of Augustus, and when he noticed the cut necks of the male and female corpses, his gaze shifted to the man in a clown mask.

He tried to use an inspection skill on the man in the clown mask, but all he received from his inspection skill was the inability to inspect the man.

"The Clown, I presume."

The Director spoke, his tone containing calmness, confidence and certainty despite his inability to inspect the man in the clown mask.

"Yes Sir Director. The One and Only."

The Clown bowed, then he removed his arms from the shoulders of the male and female corpses, and clapped.

"You know. I've heard a lot about this place from the outside world and getting here was definitely not easy. The security here has to be one of the best, if not the best I've ever encountered."

Despite the praise in the Clown's words, The Director's eyes remained cold as he gazed at The Clown.

"Do you know who those two are?"

The Director questioned and The Clown raised his brows with a confused light in his eyes.

"They're boring weaklings. What else is there to know about them?"

The Director's gaze briefly landed on the two corpses, and although he had a few thoughts, he decided not to make a comment on the words of The Clown.

"Why are you here?"

The Director questioned and a confused expression appeared on the face of The Clown. He tilted his head slightly, and with a confused tone, he spoke:

"Isn't it obvious?... I'm here to kill you."

As soon as those words left The Clown's lips, an armored figure appeared before The Clown in the blink of an eye, and a punch flew towards the chest of the clown at an extremely fast speed.

But despite the speed of the punch, The Clown's movement was faster. He placed one of the corpses in front of the incoming punch, and a second later.

Bam

The punch went through the chest of the corpse and just as it did, the eyes of the armored figure widened as he saw the clown becoming more and more translucent.

Tristan, the armored figure, in an attempt to stop the clown from vanishing entirely, moved his free arm so as to land a punch on the clown.

But just as his hand moved, the clown blew a kiss at him, and as he did that, a golden dust blew towards his eyes, temporarily blinding Tristan.

Although, Tristan was temporarily robbed of his sight, he still kept his arm in the same swinging motion, wanting to land a hit on the clown, and to his surprise and confusion, he felt his hand make contact with a body, even making a hole inside the body.

But despite him making contact with a body, Tristan frowned and just as he was about to move.

BOOM!!!
