421  420: Last Resort

    ''You''ve got to be kidding me.''

    For a moment, Corey forgot about the Capra King who stood over him with four menacing golden weapons, and the disbelief and surprise on his face were not hidden at all.

    The Capra King frowned slightly when he saw Corey''s expression. The two eyes by the side of his head moved, and he saw it.

    He heard the sound of thunder, and the hair on his body straightened.

    Without wasting a single second, the Capra King placed his two swords above his head. A second later,

    CLAP!

    KABOOM!!

    "Shit!"

    An extremely loud and powerful explosion resounded from the Capra King''s position, and Corey cursed as the powerful shockwaves slammed into his body, sending him flying once more.

    A second after the explosion resounded, the voice of the Capra King flowed into Corey''s ears.

    "Although I somewhat expected you to do this, since you didn''t act even after so long, I thought you were sincere about being my slave especially when you saw how vast the difference in my power and the power of the Disciple of The Old Ones is."

    The Capra King nonchalantly said as he stared at Selene who was gritting her bloodied teeth while trying to push down her lightning-coated feet on the Capra King.

    With the same indifferent expression, the Capra King pushed back Selene while crossing his golden swords above his head.

    Selene''s expression changed.

    "Although you almost caught me off guard, you''re just way too weak."

    Selene''s instincts screamed at her, and she instantly tried to back away. However, the Capra King instantly let go of one of his swords and grabbed her left leg.

    "I never said you could go. A traitor like you should be punished."

    The Capra King tightened his grip on Selene''s leg, almost breaking her bones. Just as Selene was about to scream, the Capra King swung her in the air a few times, and then he slammed her on the ground.

    Karrghhhh!!!

    22:29

    Selene''s eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she lost consciousness. Before she could enjoy the bliss of losing consciousness, the Capra King stepped on her stomach, causing her to cough out blood mixed with spit.

    Her hazy eyes glanced at the Capra King''s feet before shifting towards the apathetic face of the Capra King.

    "You''ve reached a higher state of existence unlike the Disciple of The Old Ones, but you have nothing... There''s nothing special about you, and you''re below average in my eyes."

    The Capra King indifferently said, and then he pointed his spear at Selene''s chest.

    "Worthless and pathetic beings like you do not deserve to breathe the same air that I breathe."

    ''I guess this is really it huh?... I have no other choice... I was hoping I wouldn''t have to, but I have to use my last resort.''

    Despite the grievous injury he had, Corey''s expression was calm. No sign of panic or despair could be seen on his face. However, only Corey knew that he was feeling a little bit fearful internally.

    And this feeling of fear was mainly because of what he planned on doing next.

    Step

    Step

    Step

    The Capra King suddenly appeared beside him, and Corey stared into the eyes of the Capra King.

    "Although you were weak, Disciple of The Old Ones, you used some intriguing abilities while being annoying at the same time."

    "As the catalyst for my evolution, I''ll choose to remember you, Disciple of The Old Ones."

    When Corey heard the Capra King''s words, he could not help but chuckle. The Capra King frowned slightly, and then he tilted his head with a curious expression.

    "Who said I''m going to die? Death can have me when I allow it."

    The Capra King became stunned and was about to speak, but then he caught sight of an object appearing from thin air in the palm of Corey''s right hand.

    The Capra King turned and stared at the object with an intrigued expression.

    "What''s that?"

    "This?" Corey turned and glanced at the vial that contained a faint golden liquid in it. Corey chuckled once again.

    "If it was in some video games or novels of my word, this would be a high-level healing potion. But as an alchemical product, this is a Golden Lotus Restoration Dew."

    The Capra King frowned. He did not know why, but his instincts were warning him of an impending danger. He looked around, but he saw nothing that could be the source of the danger.

    ''It doesn''t look like it''s the strange liquid that''s in his hand. So why are my instincts warning me of an impending danger?''

    The Capra King''s frown deepened, and then he stared at Corey.

    "You said this is a healing potion. Do you think I''ll just allow you to drink this liquid and heal yourself? Besides, I know you have a self-healing skill."

    Corey smiled when he heard the words of the Capra King. He released a soft sigh, and then he stared at the dark space above them.

    "You''re not wrong, but you''re wrong about one thing..." Corey shifted his gaze, and then he stared directly into the eyes of the Capra King.

    "The main reason I brought the elixir out was not to heal myself, but to summon a tribulation."

    The Capra King was stunned, "Summon a tribulation?"

    The instant he said these words, the space above them instantly cracked like it was a mirror.
