A voice so beautiful and so majestic. A voice containing calmness and pride. A voice that demanded respect from those beneath the source of the voice…
A voice… which Corey had never heard before, reached Corey's ears, dispersing the fear and danger in his heart. His head turned smoothly towards the source of the voice, and just a few meters… approximately three meters beside from him, was the most beautiful specimen… not woman, Corey had ever seen before.
Her countenance could not be described in words.
With a face that no words could precisely describe and a smooth, wavy, brown hair atop her head, the beauty in front of him had a calm expression as she raised her left hand and then, softly nudged the glasses on her face upwards. On her body was a lab coat that fluttered at times, despite the clear lack of wind in the environment.
Corey, who in recent times, had never been stunned or gawked at the beauty of a woman, found himself stunned on the spot and gawking like a fool.
"Do you now understand the reason as to why your teleportation spell malfunctioned?"
Corey's body jerked hearing the voice of the beauty in front of him. A slightly baffled expression appeared on his face for an instant, then in the next second, he nodded.
"Good…"
The lips of the beauty moved, and Corey noticed something which he did not previously notice due to his stunned state.
The sound emitted from the voice of the woman could be heard out loud. It was not a mental transmission like that of Corey and Nina.
But despite her speaking, the liquid they were all in, did not even ripple.
"... Anyway, next time, try not to mistakenly enter this place until you're of sufficient strength… There are some things here that even my husband cannot take lightly."
Her last words being a murmur which Corey did not hear, the beauty then turned to the front, no longer facing Corey.
"We have some unwanted visitors… Let's send them back shall we?"
'We?'
Corey frowned, wondering if he heard right… and if he did, who was she talking to.
Corey turned his head, trying to locate who the supposed partner of the wife of the Paragon Ancestor was, but once again… he found nothing.
He looked at her with a confused light in his eyes, but without sparing him a glance, the beauty opened her right palm and from out of thin air, dust like particles appeared above her right palm and in the blink of an eye, a black pistol which resembled an AMT AutoMag, formed from those dust like particles.
"It's been a while."
With a calm expression, she raised her gun and pointed it to the front. A second later, her finger moved towards the trigger and then…
There was no then…
No sound was made. No large fireworks could be seen.
But what Corey could definitely see was a colorless straight line that appeared from the muzzle of the gun. As the colorless straight line moved forward, the black liquid, space and every other substance… tangible or non-tangible… were obliterated in it's path.
As Corey followed the trail left behind by the colorless straight line, he saw ripples appear at certain spots in the liquid, then a 'few seconds' later… they stopped.
No noise was made, no explosion or large fireworks could be seen, and the colorless straight line disappeared.
"…"
"You shouldn't stay here anymore."
Corey's head jerked to his right in surprise. Approximately a meter away from him was the heavenly face of the beauty.
"…What just happened?"
Taking a moment to recover from his sudden shock, Corey asked, confusion apparent on his face.
The beauty tilted her head slightly and with her brows slightly raised, she spoke:
"I killed some of them while the others got injured."
Corey blinked and with a blank expression, he turned towards the spot where the Queen Mother shot, but he saw… nothing.
"You're still a mortal and too weak to see them… There are things which cannot and should not be seen until you reach a certain level."
Corey turned towards her, a complex light filled with various emotions were apparent in his eyes.
"I'll be sending you back now."
"Wait!"
Hearing the words of the queen mother, Corey quickly spoke and luckily… and surprisingly, she stopped.
"What?"
With her brows raised, she spoke as she nudged her glasses upwards.
"Can you explain to me what Infinity Crystals truly are? What do they actually do?"
Corey had never truly understood what the infinity crystals truly did, what benefits they gave him.
The Paragon Ancestor told him that infinity crystals gave Paragons resistance towards the infinity crystal or crystals that they possessed, which meant that, if a Paragon had a fire infinity crystal, they would get fire resistance or if a Paragon had lightning infinity crystal, they would have lightning resistance.
That was all Corey knew about the infinity crystals and he wanted to know more about infinity crystals.
"Didn't my husband tell you that Infinity Crystals only increase your resistance and mana quality and quantity?"
"That's all it does for Paragons?"
Corey asked with slight bafflement evident in his tone.
"That's all?"
The Queen Mother raised her brows, amusement present in her eyes.
"Just that ability itself is what makes Paragons the bane of all mages and Supremes… Just keep on living and you'll understand how powerful the ability is."
Corey raised his brows slightly and just as he did, the Queen Mother raised her hand.
"No more questions… I'll send you back now."
Corey frowned, and was about to speak, but before his lips even opened, a snap resounded in the surroundings and in that moment, Corey vanished.
The Queen Mother slowly lowered her hand and with a calm expression, she glanced down and if Corey were to look in the same direction as her, he would find nothing, but in the queen mother's eyes… what she saw was different.
An unfathomably large black eye also had it's pupil looking in her direction, no words were spoken and no actions were taken, but numerous ripples formed around the queen mother and the large black eye in the distance.
"Hmm."
A soft 'hmm' sound escaped her lips and with a soft nudge on her glasses, she vanished… leaving behind this dangerous and strange environment.
