Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon
Chapter 74 74: Bird Of OblivionSeconds passed as the stare down between the survivor group and the bird of oblivion occurred.
Two seconds later, the central head of the bird of oblivion tilted it's head slightly, an expression of intrigue and amusement could be seen in it's eyes.
'Come on, do it. Do it.'
Gripping the ancient spear tightly, Corey thought as he looked at the left head of the bird, and just as he did, the left head had an expression of irritation and impatience, and in the next second, it spat out a large fireball towards the group causing Corey's eyes to lit up.
"Corey."
Mrs. Ashley spoke with a slightly worried expression and tone as soon as she saw the immense fireball that would definitely decimate her people if it lands on them or anywhere them and explodes.
"I got it."
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Corey replied with a calm expression and tone. His body swayed and he ran towards the incoming fireball.
The moment the fireball was close to him, a glint appeared in his eyes and he tightened his grip around the ancient spear.
His muscles tightened causing the veins in his lean arms to be exposed and with a roar he swung the ancient spear like a baseball bat.
"FULL COUNTERRR!!!"
With his teeth clenched, he used all his strength to push back the fireball which was causing him to feel immense heat and his clothes to catch fire.
A battle between him and the fireball occurred and two seconds later, Corey was forced to take a step back causing the hearts of Mrs. Ashley and the remaining members to tighten in anxiety.
The magical attack from a tier 2 creature was just too powerful for a tier 0 human like him to send back despite his full counter been level 2. [A/N: Level 2 full counter can send back tier 2 magical attacks and below. I forgot to mention that in the previous chapters.]
Although it looked like Corey was losing, Corey had a calm look in his eyes.
'Vibration Manipulation'
Using the skill vibration manipulation, the large fireball trembled, reducing the pushing force. Corey with a heavy grunt planted his right leg forcefully on the ground and shouted.
"Back to sender!"
The fireball flew back towards the bird of oblivion with full force.
The speed of the fireball and the fact that something incomprehensible happened in front of their eyes caused the bird to be stunned and unable to react.
BOOM!!!
The fireball which was now two times more powerful than before exploded as it came in contact with the bird stirring up extremely hot winds and smoke.
Corey panted without keeping his eyes off the bird which was not visible due to the heavy smoke around it.
His injuries healed passively as time passed and while it was healing, his eyes moved to the slightly destroyed bird statue which was in front of the gate and was an important symbol to the university.
His eyes moved to the top of the statue and there he could see a nest, in this nest was a black egg that was at least twice the size of an ostrich egg.
'I wonder what monster is inside that egg for this tier 2 monster to be protecting it.'
KREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Just as Corey had this thought, a loud scream filled with anger and hatred shook the surroundings, then a strong gust of wind blew towards the survivors causing everyone to cover their eyes.
A second later, Corey looked up ignoring the wind and when he did, his eyes had a strange glint in it.
The bird of oblivion which was high up in the air had expression of anger and hatred as it looked at the group of survivors or to be more specific, Corey. It's body was full of injuries and Corey could see the bare flesh of the bird.
'First step, injure and anger the big three-headed chicken, complete.
Now unto the second step.'
Just as Corey had this thought, he saw the left head which had the highest expression of hate and anger in it's eyes put his head up and a reddish black glow could be seen in it's throat.
Corey seeing the actions of the red head quickly turned to the group behind him.
"iiuminox now!"
"Got it!
Go! Ciera!"
He shouted and iiuminox replied back, he waved his hand towards the bird of oblivion and the cursed chimera flew from behind the group towards the bird.
The last two heads looked at the cursed chimera with disdain. The green eyes of the right head glowed in a green light and the wind around it stirred. The bird moved, it's motion showing that it wanted to flap it's wings at the incoming cursed chimera.
"Now Mrs. Ashley, fire!"
Corey seeing the movement of the bird shouted with urgency and Mrs. Ashley without delay, responded.
"Archers! Mages! Fire!"
She shouted and the five archers and ten mages in the group released their arrows and magical attacks towards the bird of oblivion.
Mrs. Ashley herself spread both of her palms towards the bird and flames erupted from her palms, reaching the bird. Funny enough, the flames didn't burn the arrows going towards the bird of oblivion.
KREEEEEEEE!!!!!
The right and central head of the bird screamed in anger and looked at the group of survivors down below.
It's eyes contained annoyance and immense anger.
Meanwhile Corey ignored the two heads of the bird, his eyes observed the left head whose throat was now had a brighter reddish black glow in it.
"Shit."
He cursed then turned to the group once again.
"Buffers! Buff the chimera! Fast!!"
Five people placed their palms together and spoke different words. Different colors of light appeared on the chimera causing it's speed to drastically increase.
In three seconds it reached the bird of oblivion and in that same span of three seconds, the left head of the bird looked down and released a breath full of black flames.
And just as the flames were released, the chimera reached the left wing of the bird.
The bird seeing the chimera go for the left wing tried to move but the chimera's speed was too fast and the main controller of the left wing, the left head, was spewing out flames of it's mouth.
Spurt!
KREEEEEEEE!!!!!
An intense scream of pain from the bird spread out in the surroundings.
A hole could be seen in the left wing of the bird and the cause of this hole was the cursed chimera. It's left hand had pierced into the left wing of the bird causing extreme pain to the bird of oblivion.
With the chimera's left hand inside the left wing of the bird, they both fell from the sky.
Despite the fact that the major part of Corey's plan which was to disable the wings of the bird was successful, Corey and the group of survivors could not relish in that joy due to the flames coming at them coming at them from the sky.
"Use every defensive and evasive skills you have!!! NOW!!!!"
Corey roared at the top of his voice seeing the black flames coming at the group.
Using the only defensive move he had, Iron Skin, along with the Devourer's Armor, Corey looked at the incoming black fire with a slightly nervous expression.
Just as the black fire was a few meters above the group, numerous lights that were barriers, earth walls, mud walls, fire wall, water wall e.t.c.
With apprehensions in their hearts, everybody watched as the elemental walls they all set up get destroyed by the black fire, barely lasting three seconds.
The fear in their hearts increased and just as the black flames was about to land on the barriers made out of different skills, it swerved to the left abruptly causing it to sway from the barriers.
Although the direction of the flames were no longer at the barriers, a part of it touched some of the barriers causing those barriers to collapse.
Corey released a breath of relief seeing that his plan was working.
Although it was a close call since the chimera didn't reach the bird of oblivion on time making them to have to defend against it's powerful tier 2 attack.
'Now for the next pa-'
Whoosh!
Bang!
A loud bang resounded in the surroundings disrupting Corey's thoughts.
He looked at the source of the loud bang and he when he saw that it was the cursed chimera which had slammed into a building, he was not surprised since he somewhat expected it.
His eyes quickly moved away from the chimera and he looked at the central head of the bird of oblivion with a slightly expectant and nervous eyes.
KREEEEEEEE!!!
The three heads screamed at the same time, extreme hate was visible in it's eyes especially the left head, it's red eyes were literally spewing out fire.
The bird on it's two legs stood and looked at every single person in the group, it's 6 eyes lasted much longer on Corey and Mrs. Ashley, especially Corey.
'Come on, do it quickly.'
Corey thought while tightening his grip around the spear.
And just as he was getting worried, his eyes lit up when he saw the next actions of the bird.
The eyes of the central head shone in an eerily dark light and right in front of the bird, a small black dot appeared, growing larger by the second.
Five seconds later, an extremely black circular portal appeared in front of the bird.
'Yes, this is good. With this, the plan is almost complete.'
Corey with shining eyes thought as he looked at the black swirling portal.
He turned back wanting to give out instructions but just as he did, an aura that shook him and everyone permeated the surroundings.
"What?"
Corey exclaimed then turned around.
The aura shook him to his core and with extreme shock and with a rapidly beating heart, he looked, as the source of the aura stepped out of the portal.
With an aura that was not comparable to the bird of oblivion's but was definitely not far from it, everybody had expressions of dread and shock seeing a tier 2 creature step out of the portal.
The creature had an extremely wide smile on it's face as it looked at the group of survivors.
Meanwhile Corey was stunned to stupor seeing the familiar wide smile.
A Tier 2 Smiley had emerged from the portal!!!
