Chapter 552 551: Losing Control
Old Man Poison and Melissa had shocked expressions as their eyes and mouths were opened wide in disbelief at the sight of Corey's death.
Old Man Poison took a step forward and was about to dash towards Corey's corpse, but then a voice that strongly resembled Corey's, but was in some incomprehensible way, different from Corey's voice resounded across the realm above the eternal waterfall.
"Paragon Martial Arts; Cosmos Cleave"
A massive flaming arc that caused feelings of inferiority in the hearts of Old Man Poison and Melissa appeared before Vaerina.
Vaerina had wide eyes as she quickly turned to her back. Her light blue and completely black eyes reflected the image of a panting Corey who had at some point appeared behind her back.
Confusion flashed in her eyes as she stared at Corey, but in less than two seconds, Vaerina had an expression of realization.
She turned towards the Corey she had killed, and just as she expected, the Corey was dissipating into a fog.
"An illusion."
She mumbled softly, and despite the fact that Corey's attack was less than a meter from touching her, Vaerina had a calm and nonchalant expression. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
A second later, it was shown why.
A transparent barrier of pristinely clear water appeared between the flaming arc and Vaerina.
Screech
The sound of two metals grinding against one another resounded across her realm of imprisonment. A dense fog formed due to the collision of the transparent water barrier and the arc of flames.
Vaerina's expression was extremely calm and indifferent as Corey's axe tried to break through her defences. She shifted her gaze from the collision to Corey, and when she saw Corey's cold but confident eyes, Vaerina furrowed her brows slightly.
Crack!
A loud crack resounded in her ears, and Vaerina's eyes widened in disbelief and shock. Her head snapped towards her barrier, and when she saw a large crack appear on her barrier, Vaerina doubted her eyes for a moment.
Her gaze shifted to the flaming arc of energy, and after observing it for a few seconds, she noticed some peculiarities about it.
A baffled light flashed in her eyes, and she could not help but mutter. "It feels just like... his... attack."
Vaerina frowned, but then Corey's pure white eyes receded and his Tri-Pupil Eyes appeared in its place in less than a second.
Vaerina's eyes widened when she saw this, but before she could react, Corey's eyes glowed and his Master took his place.
"?!?!?!"
Vaerina had a stunned expression, but Old Man Poison did not waste a single second. Although he was shocked as to how he was suddenly in front of the Queen of the Shattered Sea, he knew of an opportunity when he saw it.
He raised his right hand, and then he raised his staff which now had a pointed edge. Around the pointed edge was a black liquid that coiled around the edge like a snake.
Old Man Poison threw the staff, and the pointed edge went straight for Vaerina's right eye.
The distance between the staff and the pointed edge was too short for Vaerina to dodge or summon a barrier to protect her, and Old Man Poison knew this.
As he remained in his throwing posture, he saw the distance between his staff and Vaerina's eye reduce, but when the distance was less than an inch, Vaerina unleashed her aura and chaotic energy.
Because of this, the staff was blown away along with Old Man Poison, but the moment this happened, Old Man Poison vanished and Corey took his place.
Using his already pre-formed wind elemental rune to manipulate the wind to bring his Master's staff towards him, Corey grabbed it, and with a cold voice and cold pure white eyes, he said,
"You need to hit the gym more, Master."
BANG!
It all happened in less than two seconds, and because of the consequences of Vaerina unleashing her aura and chaotic energy, she could not react on time.
The staff flew so fast towards the Queen of the Shattered Sea that it developed cracks, however, it did the job and pierced into Vaerina's skull.
Vaerina's head snapped to the back with so much force that it seemed like her neck was going to snap in two, but she was a Power and no matter how strong Corey was, he was still a Tier 2.
Neither Corey, Melissa, nor Old Man Poison thought that with a staff inside her skull, she would be dead.
Absolutely not.
Killing a Power or a Tier 6 was not so easy.
However, what the trio were relying on was the poison on the staff. Both Corey and Melissa had no idea what the poison was meant to do, but four seconds later, they saw Vaerina's entire body twitch and then she lost control.
