Chapter 355 354: Faith
The air was rife with tension, bloodlust, and a clash of auras.
Corey stood in front of Divine with his dual battle axes by his side. His gaze was sharper than that of a hawk as he looked at Ariana who had a neutral expression.
Although she seemed calm and indifferent on the outside, Corey could feel the bloodlust directed toward him, and it made him smile.
He looked to his right, and although nobody was there, Corey's eyes stated otherwise.
In Corey's eyes, he could see a cloud of nightmares and dreams hovering in the spot he was looking at. To everybody, and even Corey, there was not a single living being or even object in the direction he was looking at.
The taxi driver, Divine, and Ariana all took notice of Corey's gaze, and they all experienced different emotions.
The taxi driver was confused. No matter how much he looked at the spot Corey looked, he did not see or discover anything.
To him, Corey was just looking at the wall. But, with all that happened recently, he knew that Corey was seeing something he could not see.
This frustrated him and pissed him off. But, it also reinforced the feeling he had towards Corey which was that Corey was not a normal mortal.
Meanwhile, Divine was relieved.
From the moment he saw Ariana and her underlings, he already knew there was something wrong.
His eyes were special since he had something that could be described as heat vision, but it was a lot better than heat vision.
Divine could see the heat emanating from an individual's body, and he could also see other types of flames in an individual's body.
For example, the flames of rage and the flames of hate.
When they encountered Ariana and her underlings, Divine realized that something was wrong with all of Ariana's underlings.
None of them emitted even the faintest amount of heat. Not only did they not emit any body heat, but they also did not possess other flames that other humans usually possessed.
At first, Divine was confused by this.
But, despite this faith that Divine had in Corey, Divine decided to lay out some countermeasures in case of Corey's failure.
Meanwhile, Ariana was a jumbled mess as she could not figure out if Corey and Divine were able to realize that they were in an illusion.
If it was only Divine who figured out that they were in an illusion, she could attribute it to his uniqueness.
But Corey, of all people. A tier 2 mortal, for that matter, knew they were in an illusion. Not only did he know, he was able to figure out the actual location of Luna and kill her.
His speed.
His physical strength.
And his skills.
They all shocked Ariana to the core, and she realized that she had underestimated Corey way too much.
Her brows furrowed in contemplation, and a few seconds later, she waved her hand, giving the signal to Erik and Raphael to attack.
"Kill him."
Her voice was rife with anger and blood lust as she gazed at Corey. Her gaze shifted in Divine's direction, and with a cold smile, she said: "Break his legs, arms, and astral core. Cripple him thoroughly."
"Damn, Do you hate me that much?"
Divine joked, and the air instantly became hot.
Flames engulfed Divine and an exquisite armor made out of flames appeared around Divine.
"I leave this in your hands, Smile Reaper. Don't let them kill me."
Divine patted Corey's shoulder, and Corey's lips twitched. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed, and he quickly pushed Divine away from him. After pushing Divine away, Corey jumped, but an object wrapped around his right leg and he was flung to the wall.
BAM!
