Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

400  399: Rain? (13th Bonus Chapter)

As Corey and Selene crossed the twenty-meter distance they had constantly maintained from the sea of aquatic stone beasts, their senses were on high alert for any change in the sea of aquatic stone beasts.

Corey activated his Eyes of Omniscience and he was able to see everything that was occurring around him in a fifty meter radius.

Although Selene did not have an ocular-related skill or ability, the fact that she was a mystic being meant that her natural visual skills were high.

Moments passed, and the distance between the duo and the sea of aquatic stone beasts was barely up to a meter.

With a slightly anxious heart, the duo approached the sea of aquatic stone beasts and entered.

Fortunately, there was no change in any of the sea of aquatic stone beasts, however, Corey and Selene did not lower their guards in the slightest.

Selene stared at Corey, and without looking back at her, he nodded. He could see her through his Eyes of Omniscience. Seeing Corey nod, Selene released a soft sigh, and then they walked deeper into the sea of aquatic stone beasts.

They kept on walking and walking, and four days went by.

Unfortunately, the fear and worry that Corey and Selene had before they entered the sea of aquatic stone beasts came to pass.

The deeper they walked into the sea of aquatic sea beasts, the more they realized how dangerous their actions were.

From what they could see, the number of aquatic stone beasts was in the millions. Despite walking for four days, Corey and Selene had not stopped seeing aquatic stone beasts, and they could not help but wonder what would happen if these beasts were actually alive.

Fortunately, no single aquatic stone beast had moved or changed in any way, making their journey to the location of the Infinity Crystal safe and sound.

Another thing they were also fortunate about was the fact that their bodies could function without sleep for a long time, and despite walking for four days non-stop, they felt no exhaustion.

Although they felt no exhaustion, that did not mean that they enjoyed walking for four days in a desert while being surrounded by strange aquatic stone beasts.

"Master, how long before we get to your destination?"

Selene had decided not to ask this question for a long time, but this time around, she felt she needed to ask.

They had been walking for four days without stopping and they had still not reached the location of what her master was looking for.

It was absurd if one thought about how her master had felt a connection with whatever it was that he was looking for on the first day he arrived in the shattered dimension.

How powerful was her master's connection to this object that he could sense it even over hundreds of kilometers?

Meanwhile, despite hearing Selene's question, Corey remained silent for a few seconds before he answered,

"We're much closer now. It should take some hours before we reach the place instead of days."

When Selene heard this, she released a soft sigh of relief. However, she then muttered with a slightly worried tone, "I just hope that we'll be able to find an ancient stone before the bell rings."

Corey heard this, but he said nothing.

Although he also wished for them to find an ancient stone before it was too late, his mind was currently on something else.

A feeling.

He did not know why but he had a strange feeling that he had to… run?

This feeling was extremely strange, and it was one of those fleeting feelings one would have but would ultimately choose to ignore it.

However, his multiple stars of consciousness picked up on this, and he knew feelings like this were something he could not just ignore.

He was a Demi-Paragon with the soul origins of the dead gods of his universe in him, and his soul origin of his past life as a god.

If somebody like him ever had fleeting feelings or thoughts, he knew he had to take these fleeting feelings and thoughts seriously.

'I have to run? Is there an incoming danger?'

Corey thought with a deep frown as he pondered on this feeling.

He looked around, but he saw nothing with his Eyes of Omniscience, and he became confused.

'Is the danger coming from beneath us?' Corey thought, and then he looked down with a frown while walking.

However, despite looking down, Corey could not see more than twenty meters beneath them. There was an immense and dense amount of earth elemental energy in the ground, and his Eyes of Omniscience could not see through it at all.

'Ever since I came here, I've encountered so many things I've not been able to see through.'

It was easy for Selene to notice Corey's expression and the fact that he was looking at the ground with immense focus. She already knew that Corey had an ocular ability, and although she didn't know what it did, her instincts told her it was powerful.

"I can't see anything."

Corey shook his head with a slightly frustrated expression, and Selene tilted her head to the side slightly.

"Then what's the problem? Why do you look and sound frustrated?"

Corey rubbed his neck and released a soft sigh, "Cause I have a feeling we might be in danger, but I can't see anything that's dangerous around us… apart from the aquatic stone beasts that is."

Although Corey knew that he could not ignore this feeling, how was he to know where to run to? How was he to know in which direction the danger was coming from?

What if the danger was coming from the front and he ran straight towards it?

That would be running straight into the scythe of the Grim Reaper.

Meanwhile, Selene frowned slightly when she heard Corey's words. She already knew that her master was special and from what she knew, the instincts of special people could not be ignored.

Just as she was about to speak, the corner of her eyes caught sight of something in the distance.

She squinted her eyes to get a better look at it.

"What's that?" She pointed, she couldn't see it clearly.

Corey glanced at her, then in the direction she was pointing at. He squinted his eyes, and a few seconds later, his eyes widened slightly.

"It looks like a… mountain," Selene said with an unsure tone.

"It's a mountain made out of metals, not stones." Corey corrected with his tone containing surprise, curiosity, and also a tinge of joy.

The connection he had with the nearby infinity crystal led to that particular mountain. Although it was far, most likely a thousand kilometers away from where he was, this just went to show how high and big the mountain in the distance was.

"That's where we're going. That's our destination."

Selene's eyes widened slightly, and her expression was one of relief when she heard Corey's words.

"Finally," She released a sigh of relief, "I wonder if we'll be able to find our way back."

She mumbled, and then she looked behind her. She was about to look away, but then her eyes caught sight of something strange in the distance.

"What's that?... It looks like the sky is darkening?" She asked with curiosity in her tone.

Corey raised his brows, and then he also looked back. When he did, his eyes caught sight of the sky becoming dark hundreds of meters away from them.

The instant he saw this, the same feeling that told him to run, came back. Corey frowned and his expression became solemn.

He squinted his eyes, and his Eyes of Omniscience zoomed in on the dark sky in the distance. Due to the distance, what he saw was faint and not clear, however, he was able to discern the images he saw.

And when he did, he furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Is that… rain?"

The instant Corey said this, his gaze landed on a nearby aquatic stone beast, and his eyes instantly widened as a terrifying thought appeared in his mind.

Without hesitation, he turned and shouted.

"Run!"

Unedited chapter. I plan on writing three more chapters today, hopefully there's no disturbance.
