Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

38 38: Corey's New Mortal Enemy

As Corey looked into the eyes of the creature, he could not help wonder how it found him so quickly.

'Was it just a coincidence?'

Corey thought and the more he thought about it, the more he felt like it was actually a coincidence.

'My luck is absolutely shit.'

Corey wailed internally, then quickly stood and turned towards the door.

"Look. That's the bastard!!"

He heard Mat's roar in the distance but ignoring Mat or whatever was coming after him, he quickly kicked the door with full force.

He couldn't be bothered to try and open the door quietly anymore when his life could be ended in seconds.

"Fucking open!"

Corey yelled with frustration and anger seeing the metal door not open even after he kicked it with his super human strength.

Bam

He kicked it once again but the door still didn't open.

"Fuck!"

Crash!

Bam!

Corey could hear more car alarms blare behind him and also the sounds of lots of things been getting destroyed was louder.

Corey looked behind him and he saw the creature walking towards him while crushing any unfortunate vehicle that was on it's path beneath it's feet.

He also saw Mat and Mac running towards him with Mat having a wide grin on his face.

Corey seeing all of this quickly turned back to the door with his heart beating faster than normal and his eyes looking at the door with hatred.

Corey officially hates doors now.

Apart from Smileys, doors were among the top of his dislike list.

How many times would doors almost cause his death?

How many fucking times!!!

As he looked at the door with eyes full of hatred, his mind spun on how to destroy the damn door in front of him for a few seconds before he remembered a skill.

Iron skin

Using the skill, his skin turned slightly grey and he felt his body become heavier.

Hoping the skill would work, he looked at the door with cold eyes.

"You stupid door, fucking OPEN!!"

Kicking the door while pouring all his hatred towards doors into his kick, the door as if frightened by his weird hatred towards it finally opened.

"Finally!"

Corey exclaimed with joy seeing the door finally open and he deactivated Iron Skin.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, Corey ran into the room.

He ran for a few meters and his expression brightened when he saw various machines and also some unfinished androids and robots.

'I'm in the storage room.' Corey thought with happiness.

Now that he was in the underground storage room, his plan was almost complete and his chances of survival would increase exponentially if he could complete it.

Thinking of how close he was to success, he increased his speed but after running for at least 10m, there was a turning to the right he had to take if he did not want to reach a dead end so he took it.

And just as he did,

"Fuck!" He cursed.

And with a frightened expression he tried to stop but he could not due to him running with his full speed and to his horror, he got closer and closer to the large hole which was in the room.

"Shit shit shit shit!"

Corey cursed repeatedly and just when he thought he would fall into the large hole, he was able to stop just as the edge of the hole.

With his hands outstretched forward, his pupils dilated, his breathing extremely erratic and his heart beating so fast that it almost leaped out of his chest, Corey stood there frozen in shock and fear for a few seconds before he calmed down slightly.

He dropped his hands and he tried to calm his erratic beating heart and breath.

He looked down into the hole and he saw that he could see no end to the hole from where he was. The deeper Corey looked into the hole, the less he could see even with his night vision. The hole became so dark that he could see nothing.

Corey released a breath and wanted to take a step back away from this hole.

But just as he took a step back, he heard a sound beneath his feet.

Crack

"Oh no."

He wanted to jump but before he could, the ground beneath him cracked and he… obviously fell.

"Fuck me sideways!"

Corey cursed as he fell. He then brought out Smile Reaper and stabbed it into the wall which was just a few meters away from him.

Despite Smile Reaper been stabbed into the wall, Corey still slid down the wall for at least 15m before he stopped.

Corey exhaled and inhaled a few times then he looked down, looking for the safest place he could put his leg.

After finding a place to put his leg, he looked up and seeing that the top was not too far, he placed Smile Reaper into his robe pocket and started climbing, all the while cursing.

"What did I expect?

For my plan to work perfectly especially when there were doors involved?

Why would it work?

Doors hate me

And I hate them too

I mean doors are my mortal enemies now

I hate them so much

They're just a source of bad luck."

Corey clicked his tongue then looked up, his speed of climbing was not fast enough for him.

Mat, Mac and the creature would soon reach this room anytime soon and if that happened, he would have no choice but to take his chances and jump into this abyss beneath him.

Although his chances of survival with the abyss would be slim, at least he might have a chance of survival but with him facing Mat, Mac and the creature, he would definitely not be able to survive.

Knowing all of this, Corey stopped climbing and looked to the top, a calculating light in his eyes.

A second later, he brought out Smile Reaper and held it with his right hand. He looked at his feet and tapped the rock he was currently standing on a little.

Finding it to be stable, Corey tightened his muscles on his legs and jumped.

The rock beneath his legs got destroyed causing Corey's jump to not reach it's full potential but it did not matter to him because the distance he covered was way higher than when he climbed using his hands.

Reaching the peak of his jump, he stabbed Smile Reaper firmly into the wall and after balancing himself, he found a place he could put his foot and jumped again.

After balancing himself from his second jump, he wanted to jump again but he heard a sound coming from below.

He could not hear it properly, so he looked down with a frown and just as he did, he felt the rock he was holding vibrate slightly and he could hear a sound, though it was faint.

Hiiiisssssss

Corey's eyes widened hearing the sound and without wasting a single second, he jumped but this time, it was not a normal jump but a super jump.

The rock beneath his feet broke apart immediately and Corey jump was way higher than his previous ones.

He got so close to the top that he'll only need to use his hands at most seven times to reach the top but Corey did not care about that all.

He could hear his danger sense skill warning him that the creature or thing coming towards him was dangerous to him.

Corey not wanting to take any chances used super jump once again and flew above the top.

A second later, gravity took place and Corey was brought back to the floor, though he was close to the hole.

Corey immediately moved away from the hole and looked around quickly.

He could see that the room he was in actually had robots and androids because he could see their remains but the room, the androids and the robots were destroyed beyond repair.

Corey ignored all of this and looked for where to hide.

He looked at the entrance he used to enter this place and he saw some destroyed large machines close to the entrance and his eyes lit up.

He quickly ran to the machines and hid behind it the best way he learnt from his skill Undercover.

He definitely could not leave the way he came from because he knew that Mat, Mac and the tier 1 creature could come at any time and if he did not hide, he would definitely die if he decided to leave the room the same way he came from.

And just as Corey expected, Mat, Mac and the creature came out of the entrance with the creature at the front.

And the moment they entered, a creature also rose from the large hole in the room.

A giant green snake.

The moment it appeared, it locked eyes on the tier 1 creature and the tier 1 creature also looked at it causing the tension in the room to increase.

Meanwhile Corey seeing the giant snake only had one thought in his mind.

'At least it's a normal creature this time around.'
