Chapter 553: 552: Do You Know What You've Done?
Pamela had once told him that Tainteds had the danger of losing control if they were not careful, but Corey had never seen a Tainted losing control.
It was said that if a Tainted was agitated and their emotions were out of control, they could lose control and become monsters or abominations.
Corey had always been curious about this, but his lack of interaction with the Tainteds of the Shattered Dimension did not allow him to see a Tainted lose control.
However, what was currently in front of him was an abomination, a Power that was losing control.
It started with a twitch, and then it became a spasm. Her spasm became a seizure, and then Vaerina unleashed a shriek of pain, fear, and horror as she thrashed around with a chaotic aura.
Corey who had teleported close to Melissa and his Master had furrowed brows as he stared at Vaerina. He shifted his gaze towards his Master, and with a perplexed and curious tone, he could not help but ask.
"What exactly did you give her for her to act like that?"
Corey gestured towards Vaerina, and Old Man Poison could not help but smile.
"It's a poison I've been working on since arriving in the Shattered Sea." Old Man Poison paused for a few seconds, and then he continued.
"The poison is not extremely powerful, and in fact, it's incomplete. At best, it can kill Tier 5s, but it cannot kill a Tier 6… The main ingredient of the poison is the Water of Calamity, and the main reason why the poison can affect her is because of the dual conflicting nature in her body."
"For some reason, her true appearance is the appearance on her right-hand side, and that on her left-hand side is more like she's been corrupted and this corruption is trying to change her into a completely different being."
"This corruption has the same aura as the Water of Calamity, and what I did was to strengthen this corruption while inhibiting her original energy and aura. Because I gave the corruption a chance, she's desperately trying to use all that she had to fight back the corruption, however, this would make her lose control."
"I always tell you my dear disciple, the potential of poison masters is extremely high. Even a mortal can kill a true god with the right poison… One does not need to be extremely strong to be a poison master, one should embrace and trust the poison, nurture it, and make it extremely potent, and even gods, immortals, sages, devils, and supreme beings would fear such a poison master."
A profound expression appeared on Corey's face, and for the first time since he became a Poison Warlock, he wondered if he had been ignoring the actual might of his class.
'But would I be able to concoct a poison that kills a Tier 6 or even a Tier 5? The danger of it is extremely high.'
Corey thought, and then Old Man Poison gestured towards Vaerina. Corey and Melissa shifted their gazes toward the Queen of the Shattered Sea, and what they saw shook their hearts.
They saw Vaerina's body become liquid and solid multiple times. She would regain her physical form, but in the next moment, she would liquefy, and then she would solidify once again.
This continued an indefinite number of times, and every second that passed did not go without Vaerina screaming out in both pain and fear.
'What should I do? Allow her to lose control and see what happens or should I take advantage of this, and try to kill her?... But can I kill her in this state? She feels even more dangerous in this state than before.'
Just as Corey had this thought, Vaerina released a final scream of rage, despair, pain, and immense disappointment.
The instant she released this scream, her body liquified, and a second later, her liquified form rose to the sky, and then Corey saw Vaerina's new form.
Corey's throat moved up and down as he gazed at Vaerina's new form. Never in his life had he wanted to vomit so bad. Even Vaerina's previous form could not be compared to the monstrosity and abomination before him.
Blergh!
Blergh!
Corey heard the sound of his Master and Melissa vomiting, but he could not blame them at all. Vaerina's new form was just too bad.
Bulging in front of Corey, Melissa, and Old Man Poison was an abomination with tentacles for its feet, a fusion of the reproductive parts of various male and female species, and a skull at the centre of the abomination.
The abomination unleashed a roar, and when Corey heard it, he made a decision.
Escape without hesitation.
Corey dashed past the abomination and approached the black pot. Despite the explosions and shockwaves that occurred because of his fight with Vaerina, the black pot remained in the same position and continued gushing out water into the shattered sea below.
As Corey stood before the black pot, he communicated with Nina.
'I need your help in storing the pot in my Tri-Pupil Eyes.'
{No problem.}
Hearing Nina's agreement, Corey was immensely relieved, and one of his biggest worries was immediately dispelled.
One of the things Corey noticed when he was fighting Vaerina was that she did not have a Water Infinity Crystal in her, however, her energy and aura had the aura of an Infinity Crystal.
Due to his extremely high senses, and his fusion with two infinity crystals, he knew that the Water Infinity Crystal was actually in the ancient black pot that was continuously gushing out water.
Although Corey had a lot of questions and guesses, he knew that what mattered most to him was that he got the Water Infinity Crystal no matter what.

With a calm, focused, and vigilant expression, he placed his hand on the black pot and with the help of Nina, he stored the black pot in the storage space of his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
Seeing that he was successful, Corey immediately turned and ran towards his Master and Melissa who had wide eyes when they saw Corey take away what was most likely the most important treasure and object in the realm above the shattered sea.
"What are you doing? Let's leave before that thing regains its senses and realizes that we are its enemies."
Without waiting for a reply from his Master or Melissa, Corey grabbed himself and his aura and energy covered both of them.
Just as they were about to teleport away, Corey heard a strange voice in his head.
"Paragon, do you know what you have done?"
