Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 82: 66 Why do you think the rule for this eye is called 【Gaze】_3

This made Corey realize that the soul named Ulu, inside that damaged body, had also reached its limit.

Visas’s power was boundless, but Ulu was not.

He had fed the fire with his body, and it was finally about to burn out.

“This is not a game between you and me.”

These words emerged in Corey’s mind.

Indeed, Visas was not a participant in this game but the executor. He had set himself and Ulu aflame to see who could last until the end.

Corey thought back to Ulu with half of his face blown off, still mocking him relentlessly, and his expression gradually twisted.

How dare he compare himself to me!

He can’t possibly win against me!

Corey’s body surged with newfound strength.

“Snap.”

The third snap of his fingers, and the ring finger also vanished into nothingness, the unfinished Divine Arts once again erased.

But Corey was no longer annoyed. He laughed loudly at Bai Wei, “You have two more chances! Let’s see if that guy can hold on till then!”

Bai Wei raised his head to look at Corey.

He understood that Corey had grasped the true meaning of the game.

Both sides had laid their cards on the table.

But Bai Wei also knew that Ulu had already reached his limit… But he should have reached it long ago; he was just an ordinary person, with such a frail soul enduring the power of Visas, it was really too difficult.

At that moment, he was like a not-so-good piece of firewood, the main part already burnt through.

Now, what persisted was merely the faint, unextinguished embers.

“Soon,” Bai Wei murmured softly, his pupils reflecting Corey’s continual struggles, “Really, it will be soon.”

As if hearing his words,

The embers in the darkness did not die out but instead grew slightly brighter.

…

“Snap.”

The fourth snap of his fingers.

The Divine Arts were erased once again, and in contrast, on that left hand, only the bare middle finger remained, like a king bereft of all his knights.

And Corey’s upper body was also drenched in blood, the wound on his neck visible, making the Divine Gifted Body seem so frail.

But still, it was not fatal.

The battered body could no longer stand and knelt on the ground.

Yet even so, he continued to gaze at Corey, still driving the Magic Chains and the white mist to attack Corey.

Corey knew he had already won.

“You’ve lost, Visas!” he laughed wildly at Bai Wei, “You actually believed in someone so weak? You actually staked your life on such an insignificant wretch!”

“Your vision is no more than this!”

“That eye, that finger, they will be mine!”

Bai Wei did not respond to Corey; the charred remnant of a body no longer capable of more expressions, just kept muttering “almost there, just a bit more,” then attack, attack, and attack again.

Soon, Corey would be able to use the Divine Arts once more.

Corey chuckled lightly and raised his hand, ready to destroy both the wretched remnant in front of him and that once high-and-mighty soul entirely.

Strong energy converged in the palm of his hand.

But just then, two chains burst out from the ruins’ debris, as if lying in wait for a long time, heading straight for Corey’s neck.

Corey frowned slightly.

This should be the final attack.

And yet, just two chains were involved, and even if they caused mortal wounds, they wouldn’t be enough to kill him.

This seemed like a futile fight to the death; even Corey could have preemptively activated a divine art to destroy that broken body before the chains could strike him.

But…

In the final moment, fear got the better of him, and he quickly withdrew his hand, changing the offensive divine art he’d been about to release into a defensive one.

“Divine Arts: Shield of Ten Thousand Forms!”

“Erasure” failed to activate.

So the abruptly manifested golden shield cut through the two Magic Chains.

This was true divine art.

Against its radiance, the two low-rank spells seemed utterly powerless.

And Bai Wei’s hands finally dropped, as if those two chains had drained him entirely.

Corey descended slowly and stepped forward until he stood in front of Bai Wei, bending down to look at him.

“It’s over,” Corey said with a smile.

“Yes,” Bai Wei also cracked a smile, “It’s over.”

“You’ve chosen the wrong person to bestow your power upon.”

“Is that so? I think he did quite well, actually.”

Corey snorted disdainfully, “That’s just consolation for the incompetent.”

“Do you really think so?”

“What else?” Corey slowly raised his head, pointing to the wound on his neck, “This is the limit of the incompetent. He burned his soul and sacrificed his body, but in the end, this was all he could manage. Not even close to a real threat. You must know I am not talking nonsense.”

Indeed, the wound looked severe, but… it was still not fatal.

Moreover, within a few breaths, that injury was rapidly healing amidst the dissipating energy of the “Divine Blessing.”

This suddenly made the desperate battle that had just occurred seem rather ridiculous.

Smiling, Corey said, “According to the agreement, your eyes and fingers are mine now.”

Bai Wei smiled too.

“It seems you’ve misunderstood something.”

Corey frowned slightly, “What do you mean? Are you trying to back out?”

“Of course not,” Bai Wei responded with the same smile, “I’m just wondering… when did you think this game was yours to win?”

Corey, looking at Bai Wei’s smiling face and that all-too-familiar eye, felt a surge of unease.

Because that eye felt unfamiliar to him.

And the only unknown in this battle was that eye, the eye he thought he knew so well!

“This guy burned his soul just to let me observe you,” Bai Wei’s mouth didn’t open, but his voice sounded directly in Corey’s mind, “He persisted until now, burning his soul completely, just so I could watch you… a bit longer.”

Bai Wei’s smile grew wider.

“Why do you think the rule of this eye is ‘Gaze’?”

Corey stared fixedly at the familiar yet strange eye, and then a great fear washed over him.

“You’ve been ‘watching’ me for far too long.” The eye, sparkling like the stars, slowly closed as Corey watched in horror, “Now, I don’t want to see you anymore.”

“So, from my sight… disappear.”

But the moment that eye closed,

Corey felt his body suddenly become much lighter.

He looked down.

To find that his body seemed as if it had been erased with a rubber,

One third of it,

Just like that, vanished.
