Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

401  400: Run! (14th Bonus Chapter)

"Run!"

The instant Corey said this, the sandy ground beneath his feet flew due to his unbelievable and precise instant acceleration to his top speed.

Selene was taken aback, but her reaction was not slow. She instantly followed after Corey, and to her surprise, she had to exert a lot of effort to catch up to him.

His speed was ridiculously fast for a tier 2!

"What's going on?!"

Selene shouted the instant she caught up to Corey, her tone containing anxiety and confusion.

Corey's expression was one of solemness, coldness, and extreme determination as his arms and legs moved with an otherwordly coordination.

"The reason why the sky over there is dark is because it's raining!"

Corey shouted with a calm and severe tone, and Selene was baffled.

"Raining?... If it's just rain, then why are we running away?!"

Selene was confused. When did rain become something they must be afraid of?

Wasn't it just water falling from the sky?

"I'm not worried about the rain! I'm worried about the effects the rain would have on the aquatic stone beasts!"

Selene's eyes widened the instant she heard Corey's words, and her heartbeat spiked up in fear. A tier 0 human would have an had heart attack if their heartbeat spiked up the way hers did.

She looked at the aquatic stone beasts around them, and a lump formed in her throat as the terrifying realization dawned upon her.

The stone beasts around them were aquatic beasts.

"Oh fuck."

"If you understand, run with every fucking thing you have!"

Flash Step!

Without waiting for a reply, white lightning sparks appeared around Corey's feet and with a loud thunderclap, his speed drastically increased, shocking Selene.

'Why is it similar to the movement art of the Dance of The Lightning Valkyrie?'

Selene had this thought but she didn't dwell on it. Blue lightning sparks also appeared around her feet, and in the next second, her speed also increased by a large amount.

Stride of The Lightning Valkyrie!

Due to both of them using lightning skills, with every step they took and every lightning bolt that was left in their wake, the sand beneath their feet turned to glass, and if a mortal were to look in the direction of Corey and Selene, all they would see would be two lights- White and Blue, moving at incomprehensible speeds while dodging several aquatic stone beasts that appeared in their paths.

After Selene used her movement art, she caught up to Corey with some effort, and she was even able to surpass him- albeit by a few meters.

Selene could not remember the last time she ran as freely as she was currently running. It felt new and exhilirating for her.

However, for Corey? it was nothing new.

From the moment the apocalypse started while he was in his school, escaping was an intricate part of him. He was already used to it.

Five minutes passed, and the distance they covered was immense, however, the danger Corey felt was also increasing with every second that passed.

He could feel goosebumps on his skin as his instincts warned him of an impeding danger, but he maintained his calm and collected expression.

He assigned the control over his body to his stars of consciousness while his main consciousness turned his neck and looked back.

When he did, his pure white eyes widened in disbelief when he saw how close the black clouds in the sky had gotten to them.

He turned his head, and then his main consciousness regained control over his body. His eyes landed on the metal mountain in the distance, and he knew they would not be able to make it to the mountain before the rain reached them.

The light in his Eyes of Omniscience brightened as the stars of consciousness in his mind burned with intense ferocity as they tried to figure out a path to survival.

His mental energy was depleted and regenerated at a frightening speed.

Two seconds later, Corey stretched out his hand to the sky, and twenty meters in front of them and approximately ten meters above them was a platform made out of hexagons.

Corey had made an extremely long road out of his hexagon barrier!

Selene saw the platform in front of them, and she was startled. Where did it come from?

"Jump on the platform and run on it! We don't have time!"

Corey's voice resounded in her ears, and she glanced at him, only to see him jumping to the platform with ease.

The ease at which he jumped surprised her since a normal tier 2 could never jump as high as he did, but she immediately dispersed that thought since she knew that her master was not a normal tier 2.

However, there was another much more important thought on her mind as she stared at the road of made out of hexagons.

'Did he create this?... By himself?"

Selene could not help but find herself shaken by how much of a monster her master was.

'The level of mastery, the mana quantity and quality, and the enormous mental energies that would be required to instantly create this is unbelievable… What exactly is my master?'

Selene glanced at Corey's figure who was in the air for a second before her gaze shifted to the platform. Barely three seconds had passed, and she knew she didn't have anymore time to waste.

She jumped to the platform with ease, and when she landed on the platform, Corey was already sprinting away with white lightning sparks around his feet.

Seeing this, blue lightning sparks appeared around her feet, and her body instantly moved. When she did, she was surprised at how sturdy the platform was.

A part of her had been worried that the platform might shatter if ran on it with all her might due to her been a tier 4, however, it seems her worry was all for naught.

Another five minutes passed, and as Corey and Selene ran without stopping even for a single second, the sky above them darkened, and countless drops of water rained down on them and the desert beneath them.

The instant Corey and Selene felt the rain on their bodies, their expressions experienced a significant change, and a few seconds later, Selene looked down while Corey observed what was occurring beneath them through his Eyes of Omniscience.

And unfortunately, their worst fear came to pass.

As it rained and poured down on every single aquatic stone beast on the desert, a change began to happen to the aquatic stone beasts.

The stones on their bodies cracked, and they began to move.

Millions of aquatic stone beasts began to move.
