Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon -
Chapter 770 - 770: 767: Escape
The Aerofoil Relics was an artifact he stole from the vault of the Underworld Emporium when he infiltrated it with Divine.
When he got the artifact, he had been relieved and happy because he was always fighting beings who knew how to fly, and he could not.
Fighting beings who could fly was very annoying, and when he got the Aerofoil Relics, he thought he was going to be using it a lot.
Fortunately, for him, he created the skill, Hexagon Barrier which later evolved to Hexagon Nova Shield.
With Hexagon Nova Shield, he had no problem fighting in the air because he could create a surface for him to stand on with ease.
Because of this, he had no reason to use the Aerofoil Relics.
However, the Aerofoil Relics was his only hope of escaping his current situation, and this is because of one particular ability of the Aerofoil Relics.
He could control the Aerofoil Relics with his mind.
With the state of his body, this ability of the Aerofoil Relics was extremely crucial for him.
Despite everything that had happened ever since he summoned the Supreme Tribulation, and despite teleporting to the dimension of Prince Zakar'el, he still could not teleport, and Corey was beginning to believe that he was being targeted by a powerful Supreme or the Supreme Ancestor.
Such a thought was frightening, and a part of Corey was beginning to get anxious about the future where he might one day be targeted by the Supremes or the Supreme Ancestor himself.
He just hoped that he was strong enough by then.
The base form of the Aerofoil Relics resembled a circular silver-blue disk with runes on it, and Corey stared at it for a second before placing it on his chest.
The moment he placed the Aerofoil Relics on his chest, the runes glowed with a silver-blue light, and then the Aerofoil Relics came to life.
The Aerofoil Relics was a pair of breathtaking mechanical wings forged from a smooth, silver-blue metal that gleamed like starlight on still water.
Each wing was made up of hundreds of feather-like blades that were slender, overlapping, and razor-precise. Each feather was delicately etched with glowing runes and ancient symbols.
While at rest on Corey's back, the wings folded neatly along his spine. But the moment Corey had the thought of flight, the wings unfurled with a whispering metallic rustle, spreading outward in a grand, sweeping motion.
Despite their solid construction, the wings were feather-light, and they responded to Corey's intentions rather than effort.
The expressions of Pope Arzhel and Tessa changed when they saw the Aerofoil Relics.
They instantly knew what Corey's intentions were, and although they had no idea how Corey planned on controlling the Aerofoil Relics with the current state of his body, they did not hesitate in trying to stop him.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Pope Arzhel was the first to react, and a fire whip appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye as he sent it flying at Corey.
With a mere thought, Corey used an ability of the Aerofoil Relics.
The runes on the wings glowed brightly, and as Pope Arzhel's whip was about to touch Corey, it suddenly fell to the ground with a loud bang!
Cracks appeared on the ground, and Pope Arzhel narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
"Gravity?"
Pope Arzhel was surprised by the fact that the Aerofoil Relics could manipulate gravity because the ability to manipulate and control gravity was unique.
Artifacts that had this ability were rare, and for a flight artifact to have this ability was even rarer.
'What sort of flight artifact is that? It seems to be an Indigo or is it a Violet grade artifact... How did he get such a unique artifact?'
'The design of the artifact is extremely unique... Which artisan created it and where did he buy it from?'
'Did he buy it from the Underworld? But that should not be possible since the Underworld would not sell such a useful artifact... Did he steal it?'
'This boy... He has a lot of secrets on him.'
If the Pope knew that the Aerofoil Relics had not just one but three abilities, he would be stunned.
The Aerofoil Relics had three abilities. The first is to increase and decrease the gravity around the wings.
This sounded great, however, if one increased the gravity around the wings, the wings would not be able to fly.
But if one decreases the gravity, flight would be possible.
As for the second ability, it allowed Corey to go at a speed that could almost reach the speed of sound. This ability is called Mach Speed.
The side effect of this ability was that using this ability causes the Aerofoil Relics to overheat, and the longer one used it, the more damaged the Aerofoil Relics would become.
Another negative aspect of this ability is that it uses up a lot of mana, and the lower the grade of one's mana, the more mana it used up.
Which means that Astral Mana is consumed more, compared to Mystic Mana.
However, with the quality and quantity of Corey's Astral Mana, it was not a problem for him at all.
However, what was a slight problem for Corey was the force his body would have to face when moving at a speed that was comparable to the speed of sound.
With the current state of his body, he could not use his brute force his way through the force, however, what he could try to do was use one of his trusted abilities.
Hexagon Nova Shield
Hexagon Nova Shield was the fastest skill he could create with just a mere thought, and he planned on continuously creating hundreds of hexagon shields around his body to protect himself from the backlash of the second ability of the Aerofoil Relics.
The third and last ability is that the Aerofoil Relics could release an extremely bright light that could cause Tier 5s to experience temporary blindness.
Before the Pope or Tessa could respond to the surprising ability of the Aerofoil Relics to manipulate gravity, Corey used the Aerofoil Relics to summon a blinding light, and Pope Arzhel and Tessa released shocked grunts.
The moment he used this ability, he took off and used the second ability, Mach Speed.
The Aerofoil wings glowed brightly and vibrated intensely, and the moment Corey flew high into the sky, his speed skyrocketed and he almost broke the sound barrier.
Corey's expression changed as he used all he had to create hundreds and thousands of hexagon shields around him to protect himself from the force that would shatter his severely weakened body.
If a stranger were to look at Corey from below, they would be stunned because they would see droplets of blood falling from the sky.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!"
Pope Arzhel's roar entered Corey's ears, and through his Eyes of Omniscience, he saw the Pope flying after him at an extremely fast speed.
However, he was faster.
Corey shifted his gaze to Tessa, and he saw her raising one of her swords to the sky, and to Corey's surprise, he saw her sword gathering a frightening amount of intent and mystic mana.
'I never knew she could use Intent.' Corey exclaimed inwardly.
However, he wondered how Tessa planned on hitting him from where she was.
He was at least a kilometer away from her.
'Does she think she can hit me cause I'm moving in a straight line?'
Just as Corey had this thought, Tessa swung her sword, and a light of realization flashed in Corey's eyes when he noticed how Tessa's sword cut was splitting apart space to ignore the distance between them and cut him in two.
'Ingenious.'
Corey praised inwardly, and then he calmly turned to the right by controlling the Aerofoil Relics with his mind.
The sword cut of Tessa moved past him, and he glanced at it for a fraction of a second before focusing on the front.
He ignored the environmental damage her sword cut caused to the world.
All he knew was that the damage was immense and any living being that was unfortunate to be in its path was dead.
However, the moment he looked at the front, his pupils constricted when he saw Pope Arzhel hovering in front of him with a wide smile on his face.
The Pope raised his arm in a punching motion, and Corey's instincts screamed at him.
The Pope was close, and with his current speed, he would not be able to dodge the Pope's attack.
Dodging Tessa's attack was easy because she had attacked from afar and he had seen it.
Pope Arzhel was different.
Before Pope Arzhel could make a move, Corey's eyes changed from his Eyes of Omniscience to his Tri-Pupil Eyes. The double rectangular pupils in it rotated, and to the Pope's shock and disbelief, he found himself in Corey's position.
He stood in the air in shock, and after some seconds, he looked in Corey's direction.
However, Corey had escaped. He was too far away, and his speed had drastically increased.
His gaze contained so many emotions, but one was prevalent.
Disbelief.
"Those eyes... Are those... No... It can't be... The eyes of a..."
'Paragon?'
