Chapter 261 260: The Finger
Corey was shocked and baffled by what was happening because from his little knowledge, experience, and talent in space, Corey knew that the space in the Evolution Center was far stronger, and more stable than that of the Desert of Mysteries.
So for the space in the Evolution Center to tremble and be affected just from the presence of the finger baffled him.
What Corey did not know, was that the finger could not show its true self and unleash its full strength so as not to damage the stability of the world it was in.
Although, the owner of the finger definitely did not care for the lives of the ants in worlds like the desert of mysteries, and Corey\'s world. It did not want to destroy the world of the desert of mysteries because of its plans.
But, to its misfortune, shock, and rage, Corey had taken its finger from the desert of mysteries.
When the finger saw that it appeared in a different space that was much stable than the world of the desert of mysteries.
The finger realized that the space was connected to the person who captured it using a strange method. It wanted to unleash its true strength to kill Corey in the most painful way possible.
But, just as it was about to unleash its strength, it felt a presence that sent chills through its malevolent soul.
It could not see the source of the presence, but it trusted its instincts which warned it of an unfathomable presence in the strange space it was in.
The finger had no choice but to remain calm and ponder on the identity of the presence which he found familiar, the strange space it was in, and the person who had taken it.
The finger did not know how long it would remain in the strange space, but he had a feeling that it wouldn\'t be for long.
Its instincts were right, and to its delight and relief, it was brought out of the strange space, to a location which had enough strength to withstand its full might.
The finger shook, and it\'s appearance changed immensely.
From a finger which resembled that of an old man, the finger transformed to a finger that was two inches longer, had a viscous, shifting substance on its surface that pulse with a sickly iridescence.
The surface was covered in a lattice of pulsating veins that shimmer in a ghastly array of colors. Upon closer inspection, Corey noticed the grotesque carvings etched into its surface.
Surprisingly, Corey found these carvings… familiar, and also unfamilair at the same time.
Aside from the carvings, Corey also noticed grotesque visages on the entire surface of the finger. The faces contorted in silent agony or grimace in silent malevolence, their mouths opening and closing in an unsettling phantomine of speech.
It seemed like a long time had gone by, but in fact, only a second had gone by.
The energy that was radiated by the finger was now so intense that Corey had difficulty breathing.
Although, he knew that the finger contained an immense amount of energy, he was still shocked by the immense amount of energy the finger possessed.
Corey was even beginning to worry if he would if he could absorb the energy without killing himself.
[I see. Now I see.]
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]
A voice unlike anything Corey had ever heard resounded from the very depths of his soul, and Corey shook when he heard it.
The voice sounded like an unsettling amalgation of eerie tones. It sounded like a haunting chorus that echoes through the depths of cursed forest.
It was similar to that of a spectral whisper, and it carried an otherwordly quality that chilled Corey to the bone.
\'What is this Nina?!\'
\'You never told me about this!\'
Corey shouted in his mind as he looked at the finger which made Corey instincts scream in danger.
Although his face was calm, and his mind was running at full capacity on how to understand the current situation, Corey\'s heart was panicking.
[You have a way of surviving this.]
[You just have to be smart.]
[If you lose to this thing, I\'ll kill it after it kills you.]
Nina\'s apathetic tone sent a chill down Corey\'s body. He knew that Nina did not really care about his life or death, but her tone, and nonchalancy at his current situation frustrated him.
[A mortal Paragon!]
[No!]
[A mortal Demi-Paragon!]
[A tier 1 mortal Demi-Paragon at that!]
[Oh my Luck!]
[My absolute luck!]
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]
Corey\'s heart and soul chilled the instant he heard the words of the strange voice.
He didn\'t know how the figure was able to figure out he was a Paragon even with Nina shielding from inspections.
But, what he did know, was that he was fucked.
If this entity knew he was a Demi-Paragon, then that meant that the entity was familiar with Paragons, and most likely knew of their abilities.
Corey\'s mind raced, as he had thoughts of ways to deal with the strange entity.
But no matter what he thought of, his mind produced zero results on what to do.
Heck, he didn\'t even know what he was dealing with!
Was he meant to fight a finger?!
How did Nina expect him to defeat a finger he had no knowledge of?!
Corey was beyond vexed, and frustrated!
Corey\'s face contorted, and the finger turned towards Corey, with the tip directly pointing at him.
[I\'ll be taking your body ant.]
\'Huh?\'
Before Corey could react, a strange force slammed unto him, and to his shock and horror, his mouth was forcibly opened.
Corey saw the finger fly into his opened mouth at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, it went down his throat.
Disgusting!
This was Corey\'s last thought before he went unconscious.
