Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 95 95: The Black Sea

(14 days later)

In the middle of the black sea, a white speed boat could be seen moving at an extremely fast speed on the surface of the black sea.

If one looked behind the boat, they would find that at a distance of approximately 100 meters, the sea behind was been disturbed and the disturbance was rapidly approaching the speed boat at an extremely fast speed.

Corey who was at the steering wheel of the speed boat, looked at the disturbance behind him with a slight frown.

"I guess I'm going to lose my fifth boat." He muttered then released a soft sigh.

After sighing, he looked up and his eyes landed on a black bird which was Rhea that was around 30m away from him.

He looked at Rhea for a few seconds before he looked behind him once again. Seeing the monster which was the cause of the disturbance in the ocean rapidly closing the distance between him and it, his eyes became slightly colder.

With a calm expression, he activated the auto pilot of the speed boat, making sure the speed boat continued to move forward in a straight line and at a fast speed.

He then moved to the back of the speed boat where a closed cylindrical container that was more than half of his height could be seen.

With a calm expression, Corey opened the container and the moment he did, a bloody smell permeated the surroundings and if one looked inside the container, one would see the source of the bloody smell which was unsurprisingly, blood. Blood which had filled more than half of the container.

Ignoring the bloody smell which he was already used to, he placed the container at the rear of the boat in such a way that the blood in the container poured into the sea at a moderate rate.

After doing that, he walked back to the steering wheel with a calm expression, he deactivated the auto pilot, turned the steering wheel fully to the left, reactivated the auto pilot, then walked to the edge of the boat and took a step back.

'Super Jump'

Bang

The speed boat shook after using the skill super jump, and like an eagle, Corey soared into the air far away from the speed boat which was moving in the opposite direction at a fast speed with the monster in the sea still chasing after the speed boat.

With a calm expression, Corey had his eyes on the black sea beneath and with his legs together and straightened, he placed the swimming goggles on his head on his eyes and waited.

Four seconds later,

Thud

Splash

Corey fell into the water and for two seconds, his body kept on going deeper into the ocean before he swam upwards.

Splash

Five seconds later, Corey's head emerged unto the surface of the black sea and without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and interacted with the spatial ring on his hand.

A second later, another speed boat materialized on the surface of the sea and with the unique ability of the ghost gloves which provides a good grip on objects, Corey was able to climb unto the swaying speed boat.

He then walked to the steering wheel, started the ignition, looked up and when he saw Rhea who was up in the air, around 50m away from him, he drove towards her.

After driving for at around 30 minutes, he activated the auto pilot, rubbed his neck then released a soft sigh while resting his back on the chair of the speed boat.

His eyes moved towards Rhea who was up in the air, doing the task which he gave her when he was still with Ashley and her group.

Corey had thought of several ways, methods and plans to survive in the black sea and one of them was him making Rhea to scout ahead while she was up in the air.

One of the things he learnt after Rhea became his pet was that she could communicate with him. Although the communication was not precise like how humans communicate, Rhea could warn him of the dangers ahead and guide him on the safest path towards the temple of water.

As for how Rhea could locate the temple of water, it was due to the map which he could access from his status window, ever since he reached level 100.

The map could not really be called a map since it didn't show anything other than two different colored dots which represented his location and the location of nearby evolution centers.

Right now, on the map, it just had two different colored dots with a plain black background at the back.

The dot representing the evolution center was a golden color which was also where the temple of water was located, according to Ashley.

Meanwhile, the dot representing him had an orange color.

With him knowing the way to the temple of water and Rhea as a scout for danger, he would guide her on the direction to the temple of water, while she would warn him of any danger.

Asides from using Rhea as a scout, Corey also decided to take more than one boat after he reached the port of the black sea since he knew there was a high chance of him encountering danger that would need him to abandon the boat.

An example was what happened some minutes ago.

Assuming he didn't have an extra boat, he would be in deep trouble since the monster that was chasing him was a tier 2 monster.

Maybe, he could have killed it, but Corey would as much as possible, prefer not to fight in the dangerous black sea and elicit a response from the terrifying creatures deep below the black sea.

He had a few encounters with some terrifying creatures which were definitely stronger than the Right Guardian.

There was a time when he was driving the speed boat, he saw an extremely huge creature pass underneath his speed boat and at that point in time, he genuinely thought his life was over, but luckily, it seemed that the meat on his body would probably not fill the gaps in the monster's teeth so the monster probably left him.

There was another time, Rhea was the one who was in danger.

In the past, whenever Rhea flew, she didn't fly so high up in the sky, she was always around 40m above the sea water, but on a particular day, just as she was flying, numerous tentacles erupted from beneath the ocean, wanting to grab her and pull her into the ocean.

Corey's was worried at that point in time because if Rhea died, his journey on the black sea would become extremely dangerous, but surprisingly, Rhea was able to dodge the tentacles and flew higher up into the sky, making it that the tentacles could not reach her, much to the tentacles frustration, anger and... unfortunately for Corey.

After the tentacles could not capture Rhea, it went after him, and let's just say, he was praising the Goddess of Luck that he decided to bring more than one boat and that he had the underwater skill and the oxygen tank.

Corey did not know how far the temple of water was and how long it would take him to reach there, but he was determined to reach there no matter what so that he could tier up and become stronger.

The urge to become much stronger had been etched into Corey after he lost Anna and his parents.

Caw!

Just as Corey was a little bit lost in his thoughts, he heard a loud caw from Rhea causing him to look at her.

Flap Flap

"What happened?"

Corey asked in a surprised tone when he saw Rhea flying back to him, something she never did during their journey, unless she was tired, and he knew that she was definitely not tired because she just rested yesterday.

Caw!

Rhea cawed then pointed her right wing to his right with a worried and nervous expression on her face.

Corey seeing her nervous and worried expression frowned and looked, but when he looked, he had to squint his eyes to see due to his eyesight becoming slightly poor.

And as soon as he saw what was worrying Rhea, his eyes widened and his mouth opened.

"What the-?"
