As Corey looked at the stare down that was occurring between the giant green snake and the bizarre creature,
his eyes moved back and forth from the bizarre creature to the giant green snake while wishing for the two monsters to fight and if possible kill each other.
'Fight, fight you damn monsters.
Fight, kill yourselves and let me find an opportunity to escape.'
Corey thought while looking at the two monsters which were still staring at each other.
Corey did not know why the monsters kept on looking at one another but if there was one thing he finally knew as he kept on staring at them, it was the names and tiers of the two monsters.
The bizarre creature was called a cursed chimera according to Record, while the giant green snake was called a demi-basilisk.
And both of these creatures were tier 1 creatures.
Although according to Record they were tier 1 creatures, Corey had a feeling that the demi-basilisk was more deadly than the cursed chimera. This feeling was based on the number of simulated battles he had gone through in The Library Of Records and not on actual facts.
Corey looked away from the two tier 1 monsters and looked at Mat and Mac. He was wondering why they had not said a single word, especially the idiot Mat.
But as he observed the brothers, he realized that Mat and Mac had solemn looks as they looked at the demi-basilisk. Corey could see that they didn't dare to move at all and they even had sweat dripping down their faces.
Step
Step
Step
Step
Just as Corey was wondering what the hell was going on, he heard very light footsteps that if it were any lighter, it would be as silent as his because of his passive skill, silent steps.
Corey looked at the entrance where the source of the light footsteps was and just as he did, his eyes widened, his breath quickened slightly and he cursed internally.
'Fuck me sideways.'
Walking into the room was Mr. Handsome and Perfect in all his majesty.
Despite wearing black sneakers, black trousers and a black shirt, his tall, lean and muscular physique made the clothes look better than normal.
Normally it was the clothes that made the man but this time in a weird way, the man made the clothes.
His cold and indifferent blue eyes first looked at the two monsters in the room before looking at the brothers.
"Where is Zane?"
Corey hearing that question quickly stopped looking at Kyle or anyone else and tried to hide his entire presence and being.
Meanwhile Mat and Mac had solemn and fearful expressions hearing Kyle's question, especially Mat.
"I'm sorry leader, I lost track of him when I was following him down here, when-"
"Did I ask for your apology or stories? I said, Where Is Zane?" Kyle cut off Mat who was speaking, with an indifferent expression and tone.
"We don't know where he is Leader. He ran and we followed him, but when we came here, all we saw was your pet, Baal." Mat gestured to the demi-basilisk as he quickly corrected himself and gave a short answer.
Meanwhile Corey: 'Did I just jump from the frying pan into the fire?'
Corey thought with a depressed expression as he heard Mat's words.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think the demi-basilisk would be Kyle's pet.
All his plans had been futile from the onset. It was never destined to work and he guessed the reason Kyle was calm ever since he ran was because he knew that if he chose to come here, then there was no way of escaping.
In fact when he thought about it, why won't Kyle guess that he would come here since it was not a secret that there was an underground storage room that contained androids and robots.
With him running underground, Kyle must have guessed his plans and he knew there was no way for it to work.
As Corey realized all of this, he felt extremely stupid despite his talent and high intelligence.
'I guess having omniscience and high intelligence won't give me the ability to make the best decisions at all times.
I need to think more and utilize my talent and intelligence more.' Corey thought.
Despite Corey's 'character development', his situation which was already bad was just about to get a lot worse.
Kyle after hearing Mat's words looked at Baal, the demi-basilisk and the demi-basilisk also turned towards him, finally turning it's gaze away from the cursed chimera. It swayed towards him and lowered it's head towards him.
"Where is Zane?"
Kyle asked and the demi-basilisk flicked it's tongue a few times before it raised it's head slightly then looked at a certain direction.
The direction?
Exactly where Corey was hiding.
The entire room became silent and every eyes turned towards Corey's hiding spot.
Sweat dripped down Corey's head as he continuously cursed his rotten luck and was begging for the demi-basilisk to have gotten his location wrong.
He wanted to take a peek but he could not risk it. There was a high chance that if the demi-basilisk got his location wrong, the entire group would find him.
Just as Corey was weighing his options, he heard Kyle speak.
"Zane, If you come out now, I promise to grant you a painless death. Don't worry, I'll kill you myself."
Corey had a strange expression on his face and he wondered what kind of nonsense and stupid persuasive words Kyle was using.
He ignored Kyle's words and thought of how to get out of his predicament, then he heard Kyle take a step and speak.
Step
"Zane, Do you want me to explain why I'm doing this?"
"..." Corey
Step
"Do you want me to tell you what actually happened to our friends?"
"..." Corey
Step
"Do you want me to tell you the location of Becca?"
"..." Corey
Step
"Do you also want me to tell you how she actually feels about you?"
Just as Kyle said those words, Corey whose fists were clenched and his body trembling, could not take it anymore and shouted.
"Fuck you bastard!"
And just as he did, he saw a lightning bolt shoot towards him from Kyle who was at least 5 meters away from him.
'Focus'
Using his talent skill, Corey entered his focused state and calmly dodged the lightning bolt.
After dodging the bolt of lightning, he quickly dashed to the entrance and ran with full speed.
Mat wasted not a single second and chased after Corey immediately. Mac followed his brother, not wanting Mat to lose Corey due to the difference in their agility.
Meanwhile Kyle, the cursed chimera and the demi-basilisk just stood there looking at all three running.
Kyle looked at the cursed chimera and spoke.
"Chase after him but fly this time around."
The cursed chimera giggled like a mischievous little girl, then flapped it's wings allowing it to float above the ground. After floating above the ground, it looked at the demi-basilisk and threw it a 'triumphant smirk' before it flew away, chasing after Corey.
The demi-basilisk agitated by the cursed chimera was about to chase after Corey also but Kyle raised his hand up, telling it to stop.
"Don't go after him on the surface, go underground and chase him."
Kyle pointed to the hole and the demi-basilisk nodded it's head in understanding and slid back into the hole, leaving Kyle alone in the room.
He looked at the hole where the demi-basilisk disappeared into and various thoughts appeared in his mind.
'I wonder if it finally found something.'
Kyle thought absentmindedly then sighed and rubbed his neck.
"Zane o Zane, just die will you and stop acting like a cockroach. I have other things I have to do."
Saying those words, Kyle finally left the room and went after Corey but with calm and unrushed steps.
He was the next Supreme Magus.
His destiny is to be above all and below none.
A simple Zane could not shake his destiny in any way or form.
