Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

"What do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Ashley asked with furrowed brows and Corey shrugged with an indifferent expression.

"What I mean is that, my very good friend there, Kyle, wanted to kill me so he chased me and I had to escape into this dungeon."

Corey spoke with nonchalant tone while gesturing towards Kyle, making some to doubt the validity of his words, Mrs. Ashley and Becca been one of them.

"What are you saying Corey? Why would Kyle want to kill you? He's your closest friend."

Becca questioned with a tone showing she absolutely didn't believe Corey's words.

"What Becca said is true young man. You can't just say words like that concerning one of my most important and strongest fighters, there would be consequences."

Even Mrs. Ashley defended Kyle and threatened Corey.

Corey undeterred by the fact that most if not all did not believe him since he expected this sort of response, though he was surprised by the words of Mrs. Ashley.

'If what she said is true then that means she's the leader of the group and Kyle is her subordinate?'

Corey thought then looked at Kyle to see a change in his expression or if he had anything to say in response to Mrs. Ashley's words but he was slightly surprised when he saw none.

Dismissing his thoughts, he looked at Becca first, a slightly pained smile appeared on his face for an instant before it disappeared, then he looked at Mrs. Ashley who had a calm expression as he looked at her.

"Mrs. Ashley."

"Hmm?"

Corey called out and Mrs. Ashley hummed in response.

"Was it Kyle that told you about this dungeon?"

Corey asked while keeping his eyes on Kyle who still had a calm and indifferent expression.

Meanwhile Mrs. Ashley's brows furrowed once again for a few seconds before she nodded then spoke:

"Yes, he was the one. But that doesn't prove anything."

"Just chill and calm down, I'm not done."

Corey shook his head slightly and flashed a smile towards the heavenly fairy but the heavenly fairy just had an indifferent expression causing Corey's mouth to twitch.

'It must be because I'm not handsome enough. I need to become more handsome. There should be an item that can increase handsomeness right?'

After adding, 'Find items or objects that can increase handsomeness' to his to-do list, he continued speaking.

"When he told you about the dungeon, did he say that the dungeon was a way to kill the tier 2 creature at the academy gate?" He asked.

"He didn't say those exact words. What he said was that there was an item in the dungeon that could kill the monster at the gate."

Mrs. Ashley spoke then turned towards Kyle, a hint of doubt slowly appeared in her eyes.

"Oh, he used an item this time around."

Corey muttered not so quietly as he rubbed his chin, meanwhile Mrs. Ashley noticing Corey's choice of words turned towards Corey.

"What do you mean by 'this time around'?"

She asked and a small smile appeared on Corey's lips since that was the question he was expecting to be asked.

He looked at Kyle who still had a calm expression on his face. Corey then looked at the Cursed Chimera and the Demi-basilisk which were behind the entire group.

A second later, he looked away then looked at Mrs. Ashley.

"Kyle was once the leader of a survivor group and there was a day he told everybody including me, that we should go to the security station and use the androids and robots in the security station as a distraction when fighting the tier 2 monster."

He paused and a smile appeared on his face.

"Do you know what eventually happened?"

Corey asked then cranked his neck and pressed his fingers causing a soft crack to resound in the now silent surroundings.

'Haaa. That felt good. My fingers were stiff as fuck.'

Corey thought as he shook his hands slightly.

Meanwhile Mrs. Ashley whose face was now a bit dark after thinking for a few seconds spoke:

"They're dead right?"

Corey looked at her with slight surprise then he nodded.

"Yeah, you're right. They're all dead. Kyle's two pets there did it."

Corey spoke then pointed, but,

"Who are you calling a pet you fucker!"

Corey turned towards the source of the voice then looked at his pointed finger.

"Oops. A mistake."

He said with an 'apologetic' expression as he looked Mat and Mac which his finger was still pointing at.

Muffled chuckles escaped from the group seeing that since anybody with discerning eyes could see that Corey was anything but apologetic and did that on purpose.

"*Cough* *Cough*. So I actually meant those two monsters."

Coughing to garner everyone's attention, he pointed at the cursed chimera and demi-basilisk.

Everyone turned towards the demi-basilisk and the cursed chimera with suspicious and cautious eyes.

Previously, the two monsters were everyone's source of confidence in conquering the extremely dangerous dungeon in front of them but now, they seemed like the grim reaper brothers.

"Kyle, do you have anything to say? Are Corey's words true?"

Mrs. Ashley seeing Kyle not denying any of Corey's words asked with slightly cold eyes causing everybody to look at Kyle with varying expressions.

"Hehh."

"Hahahahaha."

A soft chuckle escaped Kyle's lips before it erupted into a full blown laughter.

"Lord o Lord, you're so good at been a clown Zane."

With a cold and indifferent tone and expression, Kyle spoke causing everybody to think that maybe all of Corey's words were lies.

"Oh shut up Kyle. Do you want to say I was lying?"

Corey spoke as he rolled his eyes with a nonchalant expression.

Meanwhile a small smile formed on Kyle's lips hearing Corey's words. He pushed up his glasses then spoke:

"Well, of course you're right Zane. I killed all of them. All the survivors I gathered, I killed all of them."

Murmurs rang out from everybody hearing Kyle admit to Corey's words. Some had disbelieving expressions, some had cold expressions and some brought out their weapons.

Meanwhile Corey was not surprised hearing Kyle admit the truth.

Ever since the apocalypse started, Kyle had become more arrogant, in fact, he had become so arrogant to the point that he made some foolish decisions in Corey's eyes.

"Why?"

Corey turned towards Mrs. Ashley who spoke and had a slightly regretful expression.

Kyle turned towards her and with an indifferent expression, he spoke:

"Do I need to explain myself to a dead person?"

Mrs. Ashley's eyes became frigid cold and Corey could see heat waves around her.

'Awwwn. The heavenly fairy is mad.'

Corey thought with a sad expression then he looked at Kyle, the perpetrator with cold eyes.

"I'm curious about something Kyle."

Corey spoke and Kyle tilted his head.

"Why didn't you try to defend yourself?"

Corey asked since he was truly curious. He actually expected Kyle to defend himself no matter how little but surprisingly, he did not.

'Is he so prideful to the point that he sees it beneath him to defend himself?'

Corey thought with furrowed brows.

Meanwhile Kyle had a confused expression on his face hearing Corey's question.

"Why do I need to defend myself?" He asked.

"Huh?" Corey was confused.

"You all are weak. Why do I need to defend myself?"

Kyle said and everybody's eyes became cold and the tension in the air rose to the point that the air became hot.

'Wait.'

Corey thought then turned towards Mrs. Ashley who now had flames on her body.

'Oh, it's not the tension that made the air to become hot. It's the heavenly fairy.'

Corey thought then he heard Kyle speak with a calm expression.

"Well, if you want a 'valid' reason on why I didn't try to defend myself. It's because there's no point."

Kyle paused then gestured towards the group before gesturing at the flaming heavenly fairy at the end.

"All of them would become suspicious of me even if I defended myself successfully and they 'believed' me. No matter how little their suspicions may be, they would still be suspicious of me and that's not what I want.

So instead of wasting my time having to watch my back. I'd rather kill them now."

Kyle thought and Corey had a slightly stunned expression.

"That's actually… sensible?"

He spoke with a surprised and confused tone.

'How come I didn't think of that.'

Despite Corey's thoughts, Kyle spoke once more:

"You know you're really a bastard Zane. This is the second time you've almost stopped my plan."

Corey hearing Kyle's words looked at him, he saw Kyle raise his right hand.

"This time, I'll make sure I kill you."

Kyle said, then snapped his fingers.

Hissss!!

The moment he did, the demi-basilisk hissed and struck at the nearest group of people close to it.

"Shit!"

"No!"

"Fucker!"

Exclamations and shouts of curses resounded among the entire group seeing the monster attacking their comrades at an extremely fast speed.

Mrs. Ashley seeing the demi-basilisk move was about to unleash a fire attack on it, but before she could move, she paused and her eyes widened with shock as she saw something unbelievable happen in front of her eyes.

BANG!!

"No Kyle, this time around. I'm stopping your plan and… I'll make sure I kill you."

As everybody looked at the fallen demi-basilisk which had a black spear in it's head with shock, widened eyes and open mouths, a calm voice filled with coldness resounded everywhere causing everybody to look at the source of the voice and the spear.

And when they did, everybody had various expressions but the majority was shock.

Mrs. Ashley's eyes flickered as she looked at the slightly short average teenage boy wearing a yellow hoodie and black track pants.

This teenage boy was Corey.
