Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 221 220: Fragmented Crystal

In the Mountains of Soundless Death, a scene of pure chaos could be seen- a scene that was akin to the end of the world.

At the top of one of the highest mountains, a female wearing black jeans and a white t-shirt had a slight frown as she looked at the chaos occurring down below.

'I didn't know that thing would cause something like this.'

The female thought as she turned to look around, and the moment she did, a design that every resident of the Underworld knew could be seen at the back of the female's shirt.

It was the design of a hand holding a world, and at the top of this hand were five stars.

A five-star Underworld official!

If Corey and the remaining participants of the death race saw this female Underworld Official, they would instantly realize her identity as the female Underworld official who introduced them to the Mountains of Soundless Death.

Woosh!

"Tch."

A gust of wind blew around the woman, causing her blonde hair to cover her face. She clicked her tongue and then looked at a white broken crystal floating in mid-air. Streaks of lightning continuously appeared around the crystal, and after some time, a bolt of lightning would get released into the sky, adding to the countless bolts of lightning in the sky.

"What the hell is that crystal?"

The blonde female Underworld Official mumbled as she looked at the fragmented crystal with a tinge of fear.

Although the female Underworld official did not know what the fragmented crystal was, if Corey were here, he would instantly recognize it due to its aura and energy.

An infinity crystal or, more precisely, a fragment of a lightning infinity crystal.

The female Underworld official looked at the fragment of the lightning infinity crystal for a few seconds. Then she looked at the blood-red formation she was instructed to make before unleashing the fragmented lightning infinity crystal.

"Is the formation only meant to hide the crystal's aura and protect me?"

The female Underworld official thought as she looked at the formation, which spanned the entirety of the top of the mountain.

Although she didn't know why, The Clown instructed her to draw this formation, which hid the crystal's aura. The Clown was the leader of the Underworld, and almost nobody could go against him in the Underworld.

So why would The Clown want to hide the aura of the crystal?

What was he afraid of attracting if the crystal's aura got exposed?

The female Underworld official was curious. But, there was a saying- Curiosity killed the cat, and who knows what her curiosity might lead to if she decided to inspect or even tamper with the formation or crystal.

She shook her head and looked away from the formation and crystal. She sat on the ground and looked at the current race that was going on, and she shook her head.

'When will this be over?'

Compared to the beginning, the current number of participants could be considered abysmal. At least 90% of the contestants had died, and the number would only increase as they crossed through the remaining two zones.

Death

So much death

And it made her body tingle in excitement. She loved danger, she loved the thrill it gave her, and seeing how dangerous the death race was, she wished she could participate in it.

But,

'They're too weak'

The female Underworld official released a soft sigh as she looked at the contestants who were doing their best to survive.

She, a Mystic Being, knew she could easily kill every contestant.

"I wonder if any of them would survive this death race.'

The female Underworld thought back to the remaining two zones, which were much more dangerous than the Mountains of Soundless Death.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I just want to leave this place and go back home."

….

"The portal!"

Fatty Black Bonez shouted with excitement and relief as he gazed at the swirling black portal in the distance.

It wasn't only Fatty Black Bonez that was excited and relieved. Corey, Rosa, and even Divine had expressions of relief as they saw the portal.

They couldn't wait to get out of this death zone. Although the remaining zones might be worse, they knew they could not stay in such a place for even a second longer.

It was just too dangerous, and there was another issue Corey was facing.

His mana was almost running out.

He had been pouring his mana into Racing Wolf to increase its speed and was also in his Focused state.

These two factors increased his mana consumption, and though the quantity and quality of his mana was higher than most tier 1s, he did not have an infinite amount of mana.

'I could have given Rosa the steering wheel to drive, but I don't think she has a skill like Focus, which enabled him to dodge the lightning strikes.'

Corey thought as he drove towards the portal, but as he got closer, he frowned and slowed down Racing Wolf.

"What the hell! What are these guys doing?"

Fatty Black Bonez exclaimed with a confused tone as he looked at the portal, which had two cars and a group of people in front of it.

Although everybody in Corey's group had seen the two cars and the group even from a longer distance, Corey's group didn't think much of it. But now that they got closer to the group, they could all sense killing intent radiating from the group.

And they were baffled as soon as they sensed it.

Why were they baffled?

Because the group of ten people was completely made up of tier 2s.

And their group clearly had three tier 3s.

Their auras weren't concealed, so the other group should have known about their tiers, but despite the opposing group knowing, they still decided to emit their killing intent toward them.

The difference between tier 2 and tier 3 was something most could not bridge, so what gave these tier 2s the confidence to stand before them?
