Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon



An explosion akin to that of at least 5 grenades unleashed at the same time, occurred as soon as Anon kicked the rat at his feet.

A huge amount of smoke enveloped an area of at least ten meters, a result of the unexpectedly massively explosion. Seconds passed and from the buildings nearby, numerous footsteps resounded and from the slightly dark environment, around ten figures emerged, each with a black covering around their mouth and noses.

"Think he's dead?"

A figure who stood at the forefront of the group questioned as he observed the smoke. In his hand, was a cage filled with rats.

"Can't be too sure. Send another rat."

Another figure which stood beside the figure filled with rats, spoke, her eyes stoic and in her left ear was a device that looked similar to an air pod.

"Aye aye cap."

A soft chuckle escaped the lips of the man with rats. He knelt and with a smile behind the black cloth at the lower part of his face, he opened the rat cage.

"Have a blast guys."

Squeak Squeak

The rats squeaked and without hesitation, they all ran to the smoke in the distance… which surprisingly, had not dispersed despite the amount of time that has gone by.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Consecutive loud explosions resounded, causing the ground to tremble.

"Wow… that's a lot of explosions… When last was I able to perform such art."

A fanatic expression appeared on the face of the man who released the rats. He turned towards the female beside him and with a wide smile, he bowed.

"Thank you for allowing me this cap!"

Despite hearing her subordinates words of appreciation, the captain did not even spare him a glance, her eyes just remained stoic and her lips barely moving.

She had her arms folded as she waited for the smoke to disperse so as to finish off the foolish tier 1 human who dared to intrude and disrupt their business.

As a tier 2 human, she felt that killing a tier 1 human should be extremely easy, and was in fact beneath her, but due to her boss, who warned her to not take the tier 2 human lightly, she decided to ambush the tier 1 human.

Just as she waited for the smoke to disperse, she noticed that instead of the smoke reducing, it was increasing. She frowned.

"Boss… I think there's a problem."

The rat man spoke with confusion evident in his tone, but the female didn't even spare him a glance. She looked around and her frown deepened. She unfolded her arms and her lips parted open, wanting to speak, but…

'Argghh!"

A scream resounded in her ears and with a fast but calm movement, she placed her left hand on the communication device in her left ear.

"S4, speak to me. What happened?"

Despite her questioning her subordinate over the phone, in her heart and mind, she didn't expect a reply.

And unsurprisingly, no reply was given to her.

"S1? S2? S3?... Can anyone give me a response?"

She asked once again, but just like before, she received no response.

"Tch."

She clicked her tongue and just as she did, the rat man voice reached her ears.

"Huh, boss."

"What?"

She questioned and without her hearing her subordinate's reply, she muttered a curse.

'Weren't we the ones setting up an ambush? How come we're being ambushed instead?'

The female captain wondered with slight frustration emerging on her face.

"I think the target has the ability to control smoke?"

"You think?"

The captain spoke with sarcasm as she heard her subordinate's words, and just as she spoke…

"Argh."

A short scream resounded from behind her and without hesitation, she turned back, but all she saw was a thick fog all around her.

"Hmm."

A frown emerged on her face as she felt something touch her back and buttock, and with cold eyes, her body moved, and white sparks formed around her legs.

"Wait, wait, Cap. It's me, it's me."

The familiar voice of the rat man reached her ears and with a frown, she paused her movement and the sparks on her legs dissipated.

A breath of relief was released from the rat man, but he felt a chill when he realized that his cap was looking at him with cold eyes. He gulped and with sweat on his forehead, he hurriedly spoke:

"I decided to stay close to you so as to not get separated."

The captain looked at her subordinate for approximately two seconds, and without saying, she turned away from him and looked around.

"Phew."

The rat man released a breath and with a relieved expression, he moved wanting to stand back to back with his captain, but just as he moved, a hand appeared from nowhere and to his shock and fear, his mouth was covered.

"Hmmm."

He released a muffled sound, fully intending to notify his captain of their enemy's presence.

Crackle

Whoosh

Even without her subordinate notifying her of the enemy's presence, the captain already sensed that something was wrong and without hesitation, she attacked.

Sparks appeared on her legs and with a spin, the captain jumped and she gave a roundhouse kick.

Hearing the sound of sparks, the eyes of the rat man brightened but a second later…

Slash

Spurt

Half of the rat man's head was sliced apart and blood spilled out from his head as a result.

Thud

His body fell, producing a soft thud. Meanwhile, Anon had widened eyes as he saw a fast moving blade coming at his neck, he quickly raised his right arm, placing it in front of his neck.

Puchi

"Tsk."

Anon cursed and just as he cursed, the blade which was embedded in his arm was removed. Anon's eyes widened once again when he saw from his left eye, another blade coming at the left side of his neck at a breathtaking speed.

Crackle!

Whoosh

He ducked and due to his current posture and the wind generated from the fast movement of the attack aimed at him, the hood covering his head fell off, exposing his white hair, extremely black eyes and

Whoosh!

Anon's eyes widened as he saw a black boot which had blades coming out from both the rear and front of the boot. Not only that, the boot also had white sparks around it.

Seeing the incoming deadly boot, Anon quickly placed his hands on the ground and with a calm expression, he did a calm expression while using a skill at the same time.

'Super Jump'

Using the skill, Super Jump on his hands instead of his legs, Anon's body reached higher than what was humanely possible, surprising the female captain.

Thud

Landing with a calm expression, Anon twisted his neck slightly and with a calm expression, he looked at the female captain who also looked back at him with a stoic expression.

The stare down continued for approximately five seconds, and without saying a word, they both ran towards each other.
