NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1014: 1011: Battle
Corey's appearance had changed after fusing with the world tree.
His body now had a silver hue that was somewhat similar to that of the silver elves. However, unlike the Silver Elves, he had runes on his arms that looked like roots from afar. His hair was no longer black with a tinge of white at the tip, instead, his hair was now silver colored mixed with a touch of emerald.
As for his eyes, lightning could be seen flashing in his eyes and with every movement of his head, he left trails of lightning from the corner of his eyes.
And most importantly, hovering above his head was a crown made out of silver and wood. Three bolts of lightning zapped across the crown in a completely random manner, causing the crown to emit a dangerous aura.
Corey held his wrist and rotated it. A slight crack resounded, and then he took a step forward.
His body slowly fell to the ground, and he had a completely indifferent expression despite the gazes of Anton, Pope Arzhel, and Tessa Liora on him.
His focus was not on them, instead, it was on the changes to his body. His main consciousness and Stars of Consciousness were going through every bit of his body so that he could quickly get used to his current body.
By the time his feet touched the ground, he had more or less acclimatized to his body.
He looked at Pope Arzhel and Anton with an indifferent gaze, and then he looked at Syrelle and Thalos who were still embroiled in their battle.
Compared to before where he could not see their movements and attacks at all, now he could.
'So, they're both in a domain.' Corey raised a brow at this realization. 'But why didn't I notice it since?'
'Ohh... It's not a domain. It's an Imperium. A proper Imperium of a Tier 7.'
Corey's eyes flickered, and although he had the immense urge to study and analyze the Imperiums of the siblings, he knew that he could not.
One thing he lacked at the moment was time.
'From the look of things, they're evenly matched? Well, it doesn't matter anymore since Syrelle seems exhausted.'
"So boy. What's with your new appearance? And what happened to the world tree?"
Pope Arzhel's voice drifted into his ears, and Corey looked at the Pope. He narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't say a word.
Instead, he stretched out his hands to the sides.
His left hand glowed with a grey light, and his void force pulsed. A fraction of a second later, Pamela appeared beside him.
The silver vines that covered her slowly fell to the ground, revealing her fully healed body.
Meanwhile, to Corey's right was his Genesis Armament.
Corey swung his Genesis Armament lightly a few times, and then he nodded slightly before looking at Pamela whose eyes fluttered open.
"You're awake?"
"Hmm?" Pamela blinked with a confused expression, and then she looked around.
Realization slowly dawned on her face, and then she pointed at the massive crater that was behind them. A crater where the world tree should have been.
"Where's the world tree? Shouldn't it be there?"
She looked at Corey, and then she was taken aback by Corey's new appearance and most especially, his aura.
"What? Your- your aura? You're a Tier 5? How? What the hell happened?"
Corey shifted his gaze back at Anton and Pope Arzhel. "Get ready to fight. I'll take the Pope and the leader of the Freedom Fighters. Take on the others."
Corey looked at Tessa Liora whose expression was completely devoid of emotions.
"Watch out for her. She's strong, and she has telekinetic powers."
"Hmm?" Pamela looked at Tessa with raised brows, and then she looked at Corey as she felt his battle intent slowly gearing up to be unleashed.
"Hey! Tell me what the hell happened while I was unconscious. How are you this strong?"
Corey tilted his neck slightly, causing a light crack to escape into the surroundings.
"I fused with the world tree. I'm going."
CLAP!
Without waiting for a response from Pamela, Corey's legs emitted lightning sparks, and a fraction of a second later, he vanished.
BOOM!
The world thundered as Corey used Lightning Movement Art, however, it was completely different from the previous times he used the movement art.
{Your comprehension of Lightning Movement Art has drastically improved.}
{Your body is strong enough to withstand the Third Stage of Lightning Movement Art.}
{You have satisfied the requirements to unlock the Third Stage of Lightning Movement Art.}
{The Third Stage of Lightning Movement Art- Lightning Flash Step- has been temporarily unlocked.}
These notifications flashed in front of Corey's eyes, but as quickly as they came, they disappeared.
It didn't even take up to a second.
Corey appeared before Pope Arzhel at a speed that shocked absolutely everybody. His eyes were completely cold and emotionless as he stared into the Pope's eyes while swinging his Genesis Armament at him.
The Pope looked at Corey with wide eyes, and although he tried to react, it was too late.
CLANG!
BANG!
BOOM!
His Genesis Armament slammed into the Pope, and he was sent flying far away while destroying every obstacle that came his way.
The moment Corey sent Pope Arzhel flying, he spun in the air and swung his Genesis Armament at Anton.
"You insect."
Anton growled with wide eyes, and he waved his hand, hurriedly creating a black barrier that was made out of death qi.
However, the world thrummed and Corey's eyes flashed with a silver-emerald lightning.
Arcs of silver-emerald lightning flashed across his Genesis Armament, and his Eyes of Truth and Judgement glowed with a yellow light as he located the weakness of Anton's barrier.
Shatter!
The barrier shattered into pieces, and Corey's axe sliced into Anton's right arm. Due to the power difference between them, his great axe got stuck in the man's arm for a moment, but the world thrummed much more loudly this time around, and Anton's arm was severed in two.
"Argghhh!"
Anton screamed in both pain and anger, but Corey's feet landed on his face as he kicked the face of the leader of the Freedom Fighters like a footballer kicking a ball.
BOOM!
