Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon-Chapter 720 - 719: One Man Army

The King of The Dead

This was Triple X's class and also the title he was given to by the Underworld after the numerous battles he had fought in the Amphitheatre.

The main ability of his class was to turn a corpse into an undead, and the higher the quantity of his mana, the more corpses he could resurrect, turn into undead, and store in a separate space that was attached to him.

In a battlefield involving thousands of corpses or more, Triple X was a one man army that could strike fear and terror into the hearts of many armies.

Divine knew this, and he also knew of the immense potential Triple X had because of his class.

The word, 'King', in his class was not taken with levity because from what he knew, any class with the word, King, had the potential to make one reach Tier 8. A Tier which was immense in their Universe.

One of the reasons why Divine had been so worried about Corey was because their environment was one that favoured Triple X heavily.

There were so many mountains of corpses in their surroundings, and adding these corpses to the vast number of undeads Triple X already had, was going to make it much more difficult for Corey to win against Triple X.

Divine would have previously considered the immense mana expenditure Triple X would have had to use before he made a contract with a demon, but now, Divine knew that the quantity of energy Triple X had was immense.

When he heard Triple X using his famous skill, Rise of The Horde, he was ready to help Corey despite his injuries.

However, what he saw next shook him to the core, and he realized that Triple X was not the only person that could be considered as a one-man army.

The one person he had ever acknowledged as his brother stood with a calm and indifferent expression as tens of thousands of undeads surrounded him.

The world thrummed, and Divine's eyes widened in shock when he felt the fire and ice elemental energies transforming into something else, into something sinister, something absurdly sharp, and something that was difficult to perceive.

"What the-?"

Divine looked at his hands and tried to summon a flame but he failed. The elemental energies were no more, they had transformed into something else.

Divine looked around, and his eyes widened in disbelief when he saw tens of thousands of faint, translucent axes hovering in the skies.

Before Triple X, Divine or the undeads could react, the axes fell like divine punishment from an angry god.

The undeads who already rotten flesh and bones became more rotten when they were struck by the axes.

The weak ones died immediately while those that were comparable to Tier 5s did their best to defend themselves from the strange axes but they fell before the axes for one reason alone.

They could not utilise the mana of the world.

There was no mana around them, only a strange sinister and sharp energy that was difficult to perceive.

They could not utilize their skills, only their physical bodies to protect themselves but they realized that the damage of each ghostly axe was immense.

Their bodies broke down and they could not heal from it. Even those that had developed souls found their souls getting damaged from the axes.

They were powerless before the phantom axes.

In less than fifteen seconds, tens of thousands undeads went back to their eternal slumber, and the person responsible for it stood with a calm expression as he was surrounded by corpses, bones, and shattered ground.

A tense silence engulfed the entire underground area, and only the sound of Rosa's faint breathing could be heard.

Triple X had eyes as wide as saucers, and he fell to his knees in shock, disbelief, and fear as he gazed at the corpses of his tens of thousands of undeads.

Step

Crack

The sound of bones breaking drifted into Triple X's ears, and his gaze landed on Corey who was slowly and calmly walking towards him with blood falling from the corners of his pure white eyes.

The glow in Corey's eyes was fluctuating immensely, but Corey's expression remained the same.

Indifferent and cold.

Triple X quickly stood and took several steps back in fear.

"What- What the fuck are you?! What power is that?!"

Triple X stuttered, and Corey calmly wiped the blood from his eyes. He kept on approaching Triple X with an indifferent and cold expression, and the fear and panic in Triple X's gaze increased.

His teeth shivered and he shouted once again, "Answer me! What the fuck are you?!"

"Shut up. You're noisy."

Corey responded coldly, and then white lightning sparks appeared around Corey's legs.

He took another step, and the sound of thunder resounded in the underground area, shaking the walls and ceiling.

"Come out!"

Triple X trembled in fear, and the moment he spoke, the nine-foot Death Knight shot out from his shadow and swung his greatsword with his two hands at Corey.

"I've been waiting for you to bring him out again."

Corey's voice drifted into Triple X's ears, but to Triple X's disbelief, the voice came not from the Corey that was approaching him but above him.

Triple X looked up and so did his Death Knight.

They both saw Corey falling down with his Genesis Armament swinging down at Triple X with a great momentum.

Sensing the danger that was behind the attack and also how fatal it could be to its master, the Death Knight roared.

His roar was so loud to the point that it shook the walls and ceiling of the underground area, and also caused a massive earthquake in the underground area.

A powerful shockwave was blasted at Corey, and Corey's momentum and descent was stopped. The Death Knight swung its greatsword at Corey with another roar.

Due to how Corey was destabilized from the Death Knight's roar, he was not able to react to the attack and his body was split in half.

Triple X's eyes widened in relief but then his expression drastically changed when he saw Corey's appearance change to that of a thick bolt of lightning.

"An illusion?!"

Triple X shouted, and the moment he did, the bolt of lightning fell on the Death Knight and Corey's voice drifted into his ears from behind him.

"Yes."

SHING!

The world howled, and before Triple X could react, his head was severed from his body by a giant axe.
