Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 220 219: Second Portal

The stormy sky crackled with electric tension. A distant rumble heralded the storm's arrival as the first jagged fingers of lightning slashed through the heavens, illuminating the landscape with their searing brilliance. Thunder followed in booming crescendos, reverberating through the very soul of the mountains of soundless death.

Torrential rain lashed down, drenching the world in a deluge, and the wind howled like a vengeful spirit. Amidst the chaos, hailstones, or at least that was what Corey wished they were.

No,

They were not hailstones but something much worse.

Rocks.

Multiple rocks of varying sizes. Some were as small as a soccer ball, and some were as large as a bungalow.

Numerous rocks of varying sizes began to fall, crashing to the ground with a deafening clatter. Each impact sent smaller stones and dust flying in every direction.

Nature's fury was a breathtaking spectacle, a symphony of elemental forces clashing in a wild, chaotic ballet of light, sound, and fury, leaving a sense of awe and vulnerability in its wake.

Corey, Rosa, and Fatty were astonished as they looked at the breathtaking spectacle that was taking place in the skies of the mountains of soundless death.

'The irony. This place can't be called the mountains of soundless death anymore.'

A strange and unnecessary thought appeared in Corey's mind as he gazed at the sky while driving. Although looking at the sky while driving at their current speed was more like a death wish, Corey used his talent skill, Focus, which made things slower in his eyes.

The second zone was called the Mountains of Soundless Death because of the poison around the mountains, which was meant to give every contestant a 'soundless' death.

But now, with the destruction of the mountains and the rumbles of thunder, the second zone could not be called the mountains of soundless death.

'Not like it matters anyway.'

Corey shook his head, and then a voice filled with panic reverberated in the car.

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE! DRIVE FASTER! DRIVE FASTER! DRIVE FASTER!!!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FAT COWARD!!"

Corey frowned as he gazed at Fatty, who expressed fear and worry although he had shut up after Rosa's shout.

'He wouldn't do anything drastic and stupid, right?'

Corey glanced at Divine, who had a calm expression, and then he looked at Rosa, who also had a calm face, though he could see a tinge of annoyance in her expression.

'They're both too calm. Do they have a plan to escape this situation?'

Usually, Corey would have kept his thoughts to himself, but he decided to ask.

Suppose they had a way out of this. He wanted to know what it was.

"You both don't look worried about this situation. Do you guys have a plan for us to survive this?"

As soon as Corey asked his question, he received strange stares from Divine and Rosa, which caused him to raise his brows in confusion.

"What do you mean by a 'plan' kid? Isn't it obvious what the plan is?"

"..."

"You drive us safely out of here."

A curse escaped Corey's lips as he realized his teammates were just like him.

They were also running for their lives.

Corey sighed, and just as he did, his expression changed, and he quickly moved Racing Wolf to the left. Three seconds later,

BANG!

BOOM!

A massive boulder the same size as Racing Wolf slammed onto the ground.

Corey cursed as he struggled to control Racing Wolf, which was shaken by the force from the impact of the boulder slamming into the ground.

Just as he was about to gain control of Racing Wolf, his eyes widened to the extreme as he noticed a lightning bolt coming their way.

Although Racing Wolf had an invisible barrier around it, Corey would rather not put his complete trust in that.

He turned the steering wheel, but despite trying his best to avoid the lightning strike, the lightning was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Racing Wolf and brushed past its side, destroying part of the barrier in the process.

"Shit."

Corey and his teammates cursed as he could not rapidly gain control of Racing Wolf, which was moving about haphazardly due to the force of the lightning strike.

Corey gritted his teeth, and seeing that they would smash into a fairly large mountain, he decided to reduce the impact considerably by making Racing Wolf slam into the mountain by the side.

BAM!

Corey's head whipped backward the instant Racing Wolf slammed into the mountain. He groaned and then shook his head to rid himself of his dizziness.

A few seconds later, his eyes were drawn to the barrier, which flickered like it was about to go off.

He looked at his body, and after finding a few insignificant scratches and injuries, he released a relieved sigh.

'Thank goodness I was in my focused state, or I wouldn't have seen the lightning strike.'

Corey thought, then he looked at his teammates.

"Oh my god. I'm so gonna die. I'm so going to fucking die."

Seeing Fatty Black Bonez mumble like a coward, Corey nodded and knew that Fatty was okay.

He looked at Rosa, who had just gotten out of her stunned state, and after finding no severe injuries on her, he nodded and looked at Divine, who was scratching his head with a slight frown on his face.

Divine looked back at him through the rear-view mirror, noticing his gaze.

"The mountains are much tougher than I expected. Also, that lightning strike. Phew."

Divine wiped off a non-existent sweat, and Corey had a strange glint in his eyes as he looked at Divine.

"Uhm Kid."

"What?"

"Shouldn't you be driving? Or do you plan to kill us all?"

Divine spoke with a laidback tone while pointing at the peak of the mountain, and when Corey looked at the peak of the mountain, his pupils dilated.

A landslide was about to reach them.

Just as Corey started the ignition, he looked to the side, and his eyes caught sight of a man riding a horse-like beast. The horse-like beast and its rider passed them in the blink of an eye.

A few seconds later, he felt multiple quick vibrations and the familiar robotic spider vehicle appeared before them for an instant before disappearing into the distance.

'That's a very fast speed for something of that size.'

Corey thought, then he shook his head and started driving. He had to get to the next zone. The current zone was so dangerous that one could not even relax for a second, or death would welcome them with open arms.

As Corey drove, some vehicles that maintained their top speed overtook them. Some gave them glances, but then they drove past them without causing any ruckus.

Everybody had the same goal: escaping the Mountains of Soundless Death.

VROOM!

Corey poured his mana into the steering wheel, and using his mana as the nitro, Racing Wolf's speed returned to its previous speed.

'I'll survive.'

'I'll survive no matter what.'

With cold eyes, Corey spoke to himself internally, and he zoomed off into the distance.

(Some minutes later)

"The portal!"
