Chapter 266 265: Obscura Force
BOOM!
The instant Corey slashed his demonic sabers unto the titanic black gates, the sound echoed throughout the dark space. It resembled the collisions of thunderbolts accompanied by the whooshing sounds of a massive tornado.
The force from the collision sent Corey flying backwards for a few meters.
He rolled a few times, then he stopped, and grunted.
He stood up, and looked at the gate with a solemn light while wiping away the blood at the side of his lips.
A long thin line resembling that of a saber's edge appeared on the surface of the gates, and a bright light seeped out from the lines on the gate.
The black gate trembled intensely, and a few seconds later, it stopped.
Corey's gaze did not falter despite nothing happening on the black gate for the first five seconds.
Exactly six seconds later.
The gate shook slightly, and countless fine cracks appeared on the black gate and the white chains.
The gate shook once again, then it turned to dust.
The entirety of the black gate and the white chains turned to finely grounded dust, and a smile appeared on Corey's lips.
"It worked."
Corey said, then he squinted his eyes as he wondered where the bright light he previously saw from the thin line disappeared to.
'Strange.'
Corey's eyes moved to the finely grounded gate and chains, and a smile reappeared on his face.
'At least some of my effort wasn't for nothing.'
The main reason for the gate becoming finely grounded powder was due to the skill- Vibration Manipulation.
Vibration Manipulation was one of the skills Corey had practiced during the two months he stayed in Rosa's garden.
Vibration Manipulation was an extremely deadly skill if used properly, and one could only imagine the damage that would be done if used on a living being.
Vibration Manipulation was not the only skill that helped Corey destroy the black gate and chains to such an extent.
The demonic sabers which possessed a terrifying might also helped in the destruction of the black gate.
In fact, one thing Corey did not know was that the use of weapons to destroy the gate was not allowed.
No!
It's not that it wasn't allowed.
The weapon of the challenger of the black gate was never meant to have appeared in the dark space.
If an individual kept their weapons in their inventory, their inventory would not be accessible.
If their weapons was even kept in their souls, their weapons would still not be accessible.
But, Corey's weapons were kept in his Tri-Pupil Eyes which was more profound than he could ever imagine.
Using a cheat like weapon like the demonic sabers was not meant to be possible, and if Corey knew this, he would definitely not care.
Assuming Corey could not use the demonic sabers, he would still have destroyed the gate.
But, not to the extent at which he currently did.
The reason for this was due to a particular scroll Corey stole from the Emporium treasury.
The name of the skill contained in the scroll was 'Obscura Force', and when Corey stole the scroll, there was no description on the contents of the scroll.
When Corey opened the scroll in his two months of training, he was surprised when he noticed that the contents of the scroll was empty.
Corey had to use his Eyes of Omniscience to see the contents of the scroll, and when he did, he saw extremely complex runes on the scroll.
Before he could learn the contents of the scroll, the scroll turned to a white flame and flew into Corey's glabella.
Corey tried to stop it but he no matter what it did, the white flame easily penetrated into his glabella, and to his surprise, a stream of information entered his mind.
The information explained what the skill, Obscura Force was.
Obscura Force was a passive skill that doubles all aspects of the user's physical strength no matter what level the user reaches in the future.
When Corey read this part of the information, he was ecstatic, but his excitement was doused by a full bucket of cold water when he read the condition for the skill to be activated.
For the skill to be activated, no living being must perceive Corey.
The instant a living being saw, heard, smelt, tasted or perceived Corey in any manner, his strength would be reduced back to normal.
The skill was a strange skill that had almost zero uses in combat.
It was more suited for an assassin, and Corey was not really sure on how to utilize the skill.
Nevertheless, the skill came in handy when he launched his attack on the black gate.
No living being was observing him, so his strength was double what it originally was, and this was another factor that really helped Corey destroy the gate.
As for the remaining three skills he used- Killing intent, Axe intent, and Dreamfire Manipulation. They were just there to enhance his attacks.
Though, they each their own terrifying potential.
And Corey planned on focusing the three skills in the near future.
Especially the intent skills.
Corey shook his head slightly, and with a thought, he sent the demonic sabers to his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
"Now what?"
Corey looked around, waiting for something to happen.
Six seconds passed, and Corey noticed a movement in the finely grounded gate and chains.
The finely grounded gate and chains swirled, and in the blink of an eye, a twister was formed.
The twister was a mix of a black and white color. With the black representing the titanic black gate, and the white representing the white chains.
The twister moved towards Corey at a fast speed, and Corey frowned.
He didn't know what he was meant to do. He didn't sense any danger from the twister, and his instincts were telling him that the twister wasn't harmful.
It was more like his reward.
A conflicted light appeared in Corey's eyes, and a second later, he decided to trust his instincts and wait.
The twister reached Corey, and to Corey's surprise, it got absorbed by his body.
He felt his body change in a way he could not understand.
He wanted to study his body, but before he could, he vanished from the dark realm.
