Chapter 598 597: Close
As Corey gazed at the colorless and translucent light of his newly formed unique axe intent swirling around his body, he had a satisfied expression on his face.
From the moment Corey decided that he had completed his unique axe intent, the name of his new axe intent appeared in his mind. He didn't need anybody to tell him the capabilities of his newly formed axe intent because as he merely sat on the fifteenth step of the Stairs of Ascension, knowledge on what his Intent appeared in his mind from out of nowhere.
"Phantom Plague Axe Intent." Corey muttered softly.
His Phantom Plague Axe Intent was a result of Corey's actualization of the purpose of the reason he uses an axe, how he uses an axe, and also his realization that he has some similarities to one of his abilities which he usually neglects... Poison.
The Phantom part of his Intent was a manifestation of his deadly efficiency and calculated brutality when using his axes. It makes his strikes silent and undetectable to the senses of even Tier 4s and Tier 5s.
As for the Plague part of his Intent, it was a fusion of poison, decay, and entropy.
Corey's axe intent doesn't just physically wound those struck by it, it spread toxins through the target's body, mana, soul, and even willpower. The poison could be instant or it could gradually worsen, leading to death over time.
Beyond poison, his intent accelerates rotting, corrosion, and withering. Anything struck, whether it was flesh, metal, or energy, they start breaking down, and they become brittle and useless. Even weapons and armor deteriorate after repeated contact.
The last and to Corey's surprise, the most important and most likely the most dangerous ability of his newly formed Intent was the Entropy aspect.
Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system, and when applied to his axe intent, it meant several things.
His strikes don't just wound, they also make the wounds wither, and the lower the tier of his enemy, the faster the rate of withering occurs.
Corey climbed the next step, and a similar scene occurred. He waved his right hand, the golden axe split into two, and golden motes of light flew towards Corey, strengthening his Phantom Plague Axe Intent.
Corey lost count of how many steps he had climbed because all he did was wave his hand and the manifestation of the Will of the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal would shatter. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
With every step he took, his already powerful Phantom Plague Axe Intent was strengthened by the golden motes of light that flew into him from the destroyed manifestations of the Will of the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal.
He was able to learn more about his Intent, and although most in his shoes would believe that with such a unique Intent, there was no need to strengthen it, Corey was not like that.
His Stars of Consciousness which had been brought back to life worked on analyzing on his Phantom Plague Intent with fervor, and with the assistance of the golden motes of light which surprisingly contained insights into Intent and an unknown energy which Corey could not analyze, his Phantom Plague Intent got strengthened.
At some point in time, Corey was no longer breezing through the steps by waving his hand. Now, he had to manifest his axe intent and fight the manifestation and sometimes manifestations of the Will of the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal.
Harsh, powerful, and turbulent gusts of wind and shockwaves spread in the realm where his Intent and the Will of the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal fought, and although, it took time and Corey had to be precise and calculative in his attacks, the nature of his Intent made him win against the Will of the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal.
Corey's manifestation of his Phantom Plague Axe Intent split three golden axes in two, and as the golden motes of light flew into his body, Corey's instincts told him that the next step was going to be different than the others.
'The Will of the Omniweapon Infinity Crystal has been learning my moves, adapting to my Intent, and it has been getting stronger. This last battle was not so simple and it was dangerous, a single mistake and my Intent would have been shattered.'
Corey furrowed his brows as the environment around him changed.
'I've not been able to form a World Heart Intent, but I feel like I'm close.'
