The kind that tore through the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone spun toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey’s eyes widened as black blood poured from Rhys’ eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man staggered back, clawing at his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My eyes! I can’t! I can’t SEE! SOMETHING’S IN MY HEAD!\" He screamed in fear and pain while moving about in a chaotic manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood ran down his cheeks, then down his neck, soaking the collar of his armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell to one knee, his shield falling to the ground with a heavy clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the group froze, caught between disbelief and horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rhys! Hold still!\" Kieran barked, moving toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sickening sound, like wet fruit being carved open, Rhys’ hands pulled away from his face, revealing nothing where his eyes had once been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two deep, hollow sockets like someone had scooped them out with invisible claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bleeding had stopped unnaturally fast, like the wound had been sealed by something other than medicine or magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeke stepped back in mute horror, nearly stumbling over some rubbles of the clocktower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No fucking way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myra cursed under her breath and gripped her spear tightly, her knuckles turning pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aelric stood perfectly still with his lips parted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, even he looked shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhys shook violently, muttering incomprehensibly. \"I heard it. In my mind... whispering... it said it would take... It said it wanted to see what I saw.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kieran was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole team was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zeke had gone more pale, his mouth slightly open. \"This... this is insane... This was meant to be a normal Gold-rank mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey could hear Rhys’ heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was chaotic, panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So this is what the system meant by Something Will Be Taken... This is going to be troublesome... Very troublesome.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey didn’t have time to think. Because the city suddenly shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The road behind them split, opening into a long, narrow gorge that hadn’t existed before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lampposts bent in unnatural directions, and the moss on the ground brightened to an eerie green glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the alleys, the rooftops, and the mouths of broken doorways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows that didn’t match anything nearby began to rise. Bodies formed from torn skin stitched around bone. Some walked backward, some dragged themselves with elongated fingers, some held weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes glowed with a dirty white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not moan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They giggled like little girls and boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their giggles sent shivers down the spines of everybody, including Corey who had experienced a lot in the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their numbers slowly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From dozens to hundreds, to a point where it felt like the entire city was crawling with the monsters of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worst of all, from what Corey could sense, each monster was Tier 3 with some Tier 4s mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re surrounding us,\" Yara whispered as she approached the group from the top of the clocktower, her voice barely audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crouched near the edge of the broken clocktower with her daggers in hand. \"Too many.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yara said these words, a giggle echoed from the far right. But this time around, it was distorted and extremely disturbing to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the first monster lunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Form up!\" Kieran shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeke fired, and the twin bangs of his pistols shattering the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets tore through one of the Tier 3 creatures, jerking it backward, but it didn’t fall. It staggered, then started walking again like it hadn’t even noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding me?\" Zeke snapped. \"It didn’t even flinch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creatures suddenly began running towards the group with disturbing giggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of hundreds of grotesque monsters running towards them was extremely disturbing, and it was certain that some would have nightmares of today no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get Rhys behind cover!\" Kieran snapped, and they instantly acted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myra and Aelric pulled Rhys backward into the corner of the clock tower as Kieran unsheathed his twin sabers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue lightning appeared around his sabers, and he swung his arm, sending two massive arcs of lightning at the incoming horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACKLE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buildings and several objects shattered and blew away due to the captain’s attack, and the lightning struck more than a hundred monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those that bore the full brunt of the attack became charred corpses, especially the Tier 3s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, more than 70% of the monsters that were struck were still alive... Much to the shock and disbelief of the captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They staggered, and some even fell apart. But within seconds, they reformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regeneration?\" Aelric hissed. \"That’s a high level skill, even for undeads.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey clicked his tongue, and he summoned a pair of black daggers from his system storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spark appeared on the daggers, and in the blink of an eye, red flames appeared around the daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent a diagonal slash at the incoming horde, and a long fiery slash that split the buildings and ground in two appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slash travelled close to a half a kilometer, and close to two hundred monsters were damaged by his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close to a hundred monsters died, and Corey could instantly feel the stares of shock and disbelief coming from his teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his expression remained stoic, he was inwardly shaking his head with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had tried his best to limit the output and power of his attack, but it was still too powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More powerful than the attack Kieran sent out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sigh... Trying to act weak is difficult.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had this thought, his expression was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat began appearing on his forehead, and his breathing became laboured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He staggered and fell to one knee while still keeping his eyes on the burning horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire works better on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was all he said, and Zeke, Kieran, Myra, Aelric, and Yara who had been stunned came out of their stunned state and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They resumed their attacks on the horde of undead.\u003C\u002Fp>",1016,"2026-06-03T08:32:54.307Z","2026-06-03T08:33:01.850Z",1,"novelbin.me","8505724054d9fd15f7585e56772127c3ae46058a36fe34c2a64c5cbd0bbce9b0","single-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-chapter-825","single-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-chapter-823",1197,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsingle-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-cover.jpg"]
