Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

409  408: Who Are You?

Corey could count the number of times he had actually felt true fear.

One was the first day their entire world changed. He could remember the fear he had when he faced the first revenant he encountered.

He could remember the unnatural fear he developed towards doors because of the monsters he encountered behind the doors of his dormitory.

He could also remember the fear he had when he faced a mere fraction of the killing intent of the Defying Paragon, the Ancestor of Paragons.

Last but not least, he could remember the despair that threatened to swallow him whole when he realized that he would not be able to save his sister and that his parents died.

His experience with a fraction of the killing intent of the Paragon Ancestor was the second biggest fear he had ever experienced, and his failure to save his family was his biggest.

After his experience with the Paragon Ancestor and with his fear resistance, a part of him felt like he would rarely be able to feel fear.

However, the instant Corey heard the words of the being above them, fear gripped his heart.

Corey looked up and saw the appearance of the being who spoke.

The being had a goat head with six horns. Two horns facing the front, two facing the back, and two facing upward. It had four eyes- Two eyes that were positioned normally, meanwhile, the remaining two were arranged in a rather strange way.

An eye was placed close to the being's left ear, while the other was arranged close to the being's right ear.

Its left eye was pure black, and its right eye was deep brown.

If one were to stare at the pure black and deep brown eyes of the goat-like being, one would sometimes see flickers of cruelty, viciousness, and wickedness in the pure black eye of the goat-like being. Meanwhile, in its right eye which was deep brown, one would notice that in the pupil of the eye, there was an image in the pupil that was usually changing.

Sometimes, the image would show a tall and huge mountain. A second later, it would change to a planet, then it would change to a flat continent, which would later change to a vast desert or a land filled with hills and mountains.

Its left eye was ever-changing.

Although the being had the head of a goat, it had the torso of a human that would put that of the Greeks and most gods and immortals to shame. Its chest, abdomen, and back had beautifully streamlined muscles that rippled with overwhelming strength even as the being stood without visibly moving a single muscle.

However, despite having the torso of a human, the being had four arms, with each hand possessing claws that seemingly possessed the power to rip apart anything to pieces.

Just like its head, the being possessed the legs of a goat and not that of a human. Its brown hoofs produced slight ripples as the being stood in the air almost like it was standing on solid ground.

The only clothing that was worn by the being was brown fur that seemed to have been gotten from the body of a dead beast. Even the fur emitted a powerful aura.

As Corey stared at the being that stood above him with its four arms crossed, Corey knew that he was absolutely fucked.

He could feel it. He didn't need Record, he didn't need his Eyes of Omniscience, he didn't even need his Paragon senses. His entire being, straight from the depths of his soul to the tip of the hair on his skin could feel it.

The being above him was something he could not defeat.

Apart from the Wandering Paragon, the titanic abomination in the black sea, and the Paragon Ancestor, it was the most dangerous and strongest being he had ever encountered.

Worst of all, Corey could sense a familiar and yet unfamiliar energy from the being.

It also has an infinity crystal in it.'

Corey's gaze flickered with multiple emotions as he came to this realization, with frustration being the majority of his emotions.

'Although a part of me expected something like this, I also wasn't expecting this… Why would the heavens deduct from my luck by putting me close to the location of an infinity crystal that's already possessed by a being that seems to be stronger than an average tier 6?'

'Are the heavens secretly trying to kill me or is there a way for me to actually kill this being?'

When Corey had this thought, the fear that was in his heart decreased. Maybe there was actually a way for him to kill this being?

'What if it's weakened? Or if it has a weakness I can take advantage of? Like maybe there's an object I can destroy to kill it or severely weaken it?' Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Corey subtly looked around for anything that seemed out of the ordinary, however, everything seemed out of the ordinary in this strange dimension he was in.

The urge to activate his Eyes of Omniscience appeared in his heart, but he stopped himself. Who knew if the goat-like being would choose to attack him because he activated his Eyes of Omniscience.

Besides, he also needed to know more about the beast.

"Are you done thinking, Disciple of The Old Ones and Possessor of an Infinity Crystal?"

Corey's eyes widened slightly once again when he heard the words of the goat-like being. When did I become a disciple of The Old Ones?

Despite having this thought, Corey tried to maintain his composure and expression, however, the keen eyes of the goat-like being noticed the subtle change in his expression easily.

It tilted its head slightly, "You're surprised. I wonder why… Did you think I won't be able to perceive the disgusting stench of The Old Ones on you?"

The goat-like being glanced at Corey's right index finger, and Corey noticed it, but he chose not to look at his finger.

"Or did you think I wouldn't be able to sense the familiar energy of an infinity crystal in you?"

"Although I must say… Your infinity crystal is quite a sinister infinity crystal. It makes me wonder how in the world you were able to absorb it considering how weak you are… I'm curious, was it The Old Ones? Did they help you to absorb the infinity crystal?..."

The goat-like being mumbled with an intrigued tone.

"... How interesting, how very interesting. Are you that important to The Old Ones?"

The goat-like being gazed at Corey with a slightly intense stare, and Corey felt a shiver run down his spine.

Without backing down, he stared back at the goat-like being, and then he exhaled softly before asking,

"Who are you?"
