404 403: Care-FUL! (17th Bonus Chapter)


    Not knowing about Selene''s thoughts, Corey ran while making sure that his tform and Selene''s tform were stable and sturdy enough for them to run on.


    Despite the fact that he had just used up around 6% of his mana reserves to create the tforms and that he was continuously using his mana to extend and keep the tforms from disappearing, Corey maintained his calm and cold expression.


    His stars of consciousness worked furiously as they pushed Corey''s body to the limits so that he could regenerate as much as mana as quickly as possible.


    ''This is bad…'' Corey stared at the sandy ground, ''A tier 5 attacking us was not something I ruled out, but it was something I did not hope for.''


    Corey frowned, as he could not help but wonder what other monstrosities were hiding in the depths of the desert.


    For the first time in a long while, Corey truly felt frustrated at the inability of his Eyes of Omniscience to see through the sea of monsters and the desert.


    ''Hopefully, a tier 6 or higher does not attack us.''


    Corey knew that his actions from the moment he left the Temple of The Old Ones were not wise, and would be considered stupid by some. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    He was a tier 2 with stats that were not maxed out, and also some self-imposed limitations. But despite being a tier 2, he still decided to look for an infinity crystal in and he had no information on.


    He knew nothing about the power system of this world, he knew nothing about the type of monsters he was going to face to obtain the infinity crystal, he knew nothing about how powerful the monsters he was going to face were, he knew nothing about the type of environment the infinity crystal was located at.


    He knew absolutely nothing, but he still chose to go in the direction of the infinity crystal.


    For all he knew, there could be a tier 8, a god, an immortal, or a being so powerful that he would not even have a chance to raise his weapon before he breathed hisst.


    There were so many things that could go wrong, however, Corey still chose to look for the infinity crystals for two reasons despite all of these.


    First of all and most importantly, a massive amount of his luck was used to bring him to this location, and from the discussions he had with Nina in the past, for such a thing to happen, meant there was an opportunity here for him, and he had the capability to grab this opportunity.


    There was no way a lot of his luck would have been deducted just to be brought to a ce to die.


    Second of all, The Clown did not define this ce as an absolutely dangerous ce. Corey wasn''t sure about how powerful The Clown was or what sort of abilities The Clown had, however, he had a feeling that if The Clown did not define this ce as an extremely dangerous ce, then there was a possibility of there not being an iprehensible being in the direction of the infinity crystal.


    As these thoughts shed in Corey''s mind for a second, he looked up and gazed at the mountain of metals in the distance.


    ''At our current speed, we should be able to reach the mountain in forty-five minutes. But…'' Corey stared at Selene who was a few meters behind him while running with all that she had. His gaze shifted to the sea of monsters below them.


    ''... But that is if we''re able tost till then and if nothing unexpected happens.''


    Corey released a frustrated sigh, and then a smile of indifference appeared on his lips.


    "I wonder what I''m going to find when I get to that mountain of metals."


    Although Corey''s voice was drowned by the rain, the rain seemed to be heavier for a moment as if it was angered by Corey''s nonchnce at his current situation.


    Corey noticed this, and although he was slightly curious and surprised by this, he didn''t care. He continued running.


    Minutes went by, and to Corey''s surprise, nothing happened even after thirty minutes had gone by.


    There was no attack on them, and despite the countless killings and fights that were urring among the sea of aquatic monsters below them, no aquatic monster chose to attack them.


    Although there was no attack on them, their mana reserves were running low. Keeping a powerful and dense mana skin around their entire body was not an easy feat in terms of the constant mana supply that was needed and the mental focus that was also needed.


    ''I''m about to say something, but would I jinx it if I say it?''


    Corey frowned in thought, and then a few secondster, his right eye twitched.


    ''You''ve got to be kidding me. I didn''t even say anything!''


    Corey almost cursed out loud when his Ears of Omniscience picked up on another strange sounding from the sea of aquatic monsters below them.


    ''Watch out. Iing danger approximately thirty meters in front of us.'' Corey''s voice resounded in Nina''s mind, and her expression changed to one of concern.


    For the past thirty minutes, the relief and joy that filled her heart when nothing attacked them or disrupted their escape were immense, however, Corey''s words were like a bucket of ice-cold water that snuffed out her joy and relief.


    She was worried. Her mana reserves were extremely low- 10%, and she was extremely worried that she would be forced to use a powerful attacking skill to protect herself if a powerful monster attacked them.


    ''Is it the previous tier 5 whale?''


    She asked, and Corey furrowed his brows in thought.


    ''I don''t think so, it feels like there are multiple monsters that are about to attack us.''


    Selene''s brows changed to one of extreme concern, ''Multiple monsters?''


    ''I''m not sure, just be care-FUL!!!''


    Corey''s shock-filled voice boomed in Selene''s ears, and her instincts screamed at her.


    She was about to die.
