Chapter 279 278: First Tribulation of Hell; The End

A pressure that could not be described with the words of man enveloped the entire glass world of the first tribulation of hell.

The elements, atoms, molecules and energies stilled in the presence of a silver and golden eyed man.

The world quaked ever so slightly that only beings at the level of the armored figure and serpentine-like creature could perceive.

The armored figure and the serpentine-like creature shrieked the instance they recognized the identity of the man.

Regret filled the duo's entire being when they saw the Defying Paragon.

They regretted letting their greed taking over ther minds.

They had completely forgotten one important fact about Corey.

He was a Demi-Paragon!

And not just any demi-paragon, he was a demi-paragon with the blood of the Paragon Ancestor!

To think they had forgotten such a glaring fact that would most likely cost them their lives.

Out of pure instinct, the serpentine-like creature slithered backwards in fear, and a soft sigh escaped the lips of the silver and golden eyed man.

"I believe I said, 'Take another step and you cease you exist.'"

The soul of the serpentine-like creature trembled in fear when it heard the Defying Paragon's words.

It had subconciously thought that the Defying Paragon meant they would die if they took a step forward.

Regret and fear filled its entire being, and he tried to beg for forgiveness.

"I-"

Shing

An extremely soft sound that was akin to that of a saber resounded, and in the blink of the serpentine-like creature's eyes, he saw four lines that were joined together appear in front of him.

His pupils constricted, and he tried to do something.

But.

Thud

Thud

Thud

Thud

Splash

"You should have killed yourself if you wanted to have a chance of survival."

The Defying Paragon indifferent voice flowed into the ears of the armored figure, and its heart rate increased by a hundred fold as it gazed at the four cleanly diced pieces of the serpent-like creature.

She then shifted her gaze to the Defying Paragon who had used his two fingers to unleash his attack.

[How do you feel?]

Corey raised his brows when he heard a tinge of concern in Nina's voice, and he wondered the reason for the concern.

"I'm fine."

"Actually. I'm better than fine."

Corey looked at his body with slight awe in his eyes.

He felt, much, much, much better and stronger than when he was a tier 1.

It almost felt so unreal to him.

[How many mirrors did you damage by the way?]

Nina curiously asked after she noticed that Corey's mental state was not damaged, nor traumatised.

When she noticed this, she was slightly surprised since she knew that most tier 1 Paragons or Demi-Paragons that challenged the first tribulation of hell always came out damaged in one way or the other.

But, not only did Corey come out unharmed, he also possessed an aura that slightly baffled Nina.

The aura almost felt like that of the Paragon Ancestor's.

The aura made Nina to feel like Corey stood above all, and beneath none.

'Strange.'

Nina thought with 'furrowed brows'.

"I didn't damage any mirror."

[Huh?]

[So did you enter the golden mirror?]

At first, Nina was surprised that Corey did not damage a single mirror. Then she calmed down, and decided to ask if he entered the golden mirror.

She had a feeling that Corey would have entered the golden mirror, but she doubted that he benefitted much due to his tier.

"I did."

Corey nodded nonchalantly.

[Oh. And how long did you last?]

Nina asked nonchalantly.

"I stayed till the end."

Corey replied nonchalantly.

[...]

[Huhh?]
