578 577: Predicting The Bell Chi
Three days went by after Corey, Divine, and lissa t with Prince Zeran.
These three days were a period of peace for the trio. Nothing noteworthy happened, and the trio waited for Prince Zeran to contact them regarding the date of the raid against the Throne.
Knowing that to increase their chances of survival, they needed to be imnsely prepared, Corey, Divine, and lissa made the preparations they needed.
Aside from this, Divine decided to tell Corey and lissa what he knew about the twelve Chosens, including Prince Zeran. He told them what he knew about their personalities, their abilities, and the power of the organizations backing them.
Although what he told them was not detailed, it helped Corey and lissa to know who to be wary of, and who they could trust to a certain degree regarding certain matters.
The third day ca and went, and in the early hours of the fourth day in Stormcliff Rest, Corey sat cross-legged on the bed in his room.
Countless visible runes filled the room and moved in a seemingly chaotic but harmonious manner. The runes were of different shapes, strokes, sizes, and colours, and in the eyes of anybody that had no understanding of runes, their minds would be overwheld due to the complexity, chaotic movent, and imnse number of runes in the room.
Corey's pure white eyes reflected the runes around him, and his hands moved as he sotis made so of the runes clash with one another which would either result in the runes shattering like glass. Smaller and different runes would form from the shattered runes, and these smaller runes would join the chaotic movent of the runes in the room.
Sotis, the runes that clashed would join together, forming a larger and completely different rune in the room.
As the minutes went by, Corey kept on observing the changes and movent of the runes, and then a sudden knock resounded in the room.
The imnse focus and calculations that could be seen in Corey's eyes were disturbed, and Corey frowned in displeasure.
Although with his Stars of Consciousness, the countless simulations and thoughts he had in his mind would not be stopped, it was completely different when his main consciousness was the one performing these actions.
Corey's furrowed brows eased slightly when he realized that it was the brainwashed ssenger of Prince Zeran that was in front of his door.
'I was already planning on leaving for the Stairs or Ascension in two days if we didn't receive a ssage from the Prince.'
Corey looked around, and then he stood. As he stood, the runes around slowly dissipated, and in less than three seconds, they were no more.
Corey stood in front of the door, and his pure white eyes beca violet-blue. Corey looked around the room once again to make sure that he didn't miss anything in the room. As he did this, another knock resounded in his room, and Corey opened the door.
"A pleasure seeing you once again, Mr. Smile Reaper."
Brandon's voice drifted into his ears, and Corey greeted back as his eyes involuntary landed on the man's shining bald head.
'Did he oil it?' Corey wondered, however, his expression portrayed not a single bit of his thoughts.
"Right back at you, Mr. Brandon."
Brandon smiled, and then he offered an envelope to Corey.
'An envelope again? What's with the prince and envelopes?'
Corey raised his brows as he took the envelope from the ssenger, however, his eyes flashed for a fraction of a second before his fingers touched the envelope.
"My Lord said you and your companions should make your way to the Mirstone Suite after the bell rings tomorrow. There-"
"When the bell rings?"
Corey interrupted Brandon, however, Brandon showed no sign of displeasure. He nodded, "Yes, my Lord said I should tell you to be on your way to the Mirstone Suite after the bell chis tomorrow."
'He can predict when the bell would ring in the Shattered Dinsion? But I thought it was completely random and could not be predicted?'
Corey frowned, and although he had a lot on his mind, he didn't dwell too much on it.
"There are three cards in the envelope, and each card is assigned to you and your companions. You'll know which one is yours when you see the cards."
After saying this, Brandon bowed slightly, "Good luck, Mr. Smile Reaper. I pray for victory and life as you assist the Lord in the great battle. Goodbye."
Corey rely smiled in response to Brandon's words, and then he watched Brandon leave.
"Prince Zeran sure is frightening. His ssenger is now even praying for victory. Sort of feel pity for him… Sort of."
After saying this, Corey walked to lissa and Divine's rooms, and after relaying the ssage of the ssenger and showing them the cards, they all agreed to wait and see if the bell would ring the following day.
They discussed so things like what could happen in the battle, how prepared they were, and the status of their other companions like Fatty Black Bonez, Triple X, and Rosa.
Corey already told them about what happened to Selena, and although Divine and lissa were surprised by the death of Selena and by the fact that Corey was completely unbothered by her death, they didn't think too much of it.
Besides, according to the Clown, anybody who died was going to revive after the ti limit of the Shattered Dinsion, which is four months, was over.
Since Selene was not truly dead, there was no reason to be bothered about the death of Selene,
Ti went by, and another day arrived. Just as Prince Zeran said, a bell chi echoed throughout the Shattered Dinsion, and although Corey, Divine, and lissa were surprised by this, they went to the Mirstone Suite just like Prince Zeran said they should.
