273: First Tribulation of Hell; Cognitum Erasure

Cognitum Erasure was a skill that gave Corey the ability to erase specific memories and knowledge from individuals.

It was an extremely useful skill that had so many uses.

It was also a skill that was extremely useful for assassins.

Normally, the skill was meant to be used on other people.

But,

Corey was planning on doing something even the creator had never thought of.

Corey planned on using the skill to erase his memories of every mirror he would enter after this current mirror.

He was currently in the world of the second mirror. So, after he leaves the world of the third mirror, he would erase his memories of his life of the third world in the mirror.

He would keep on doing this for every mirror until he reached the end of the glass road.

And, as a result of this, he would only have the memory of his life in the first and second mirror.

Luckily for Corey, using Cognitum Erasure did not require mana but mental energy, precision, and soul energy.

Corey did not know what soul energy actually was, but he guessed his soul energy should not have been affected despite him been in a tribulation of hell.

Also, his mental capabilities was still in effect since his talent, Omniscience, was more like a part of him.

Though, he could not use the skills that came with it. His mental capabilities was much higher as a result of his talent.

Just like Cognitum Erasure, using some abilities of his Eyes of Dreams and Nightmares did not require mana but mental energy.

Though, using only mental energy placed a lot of strain on his eyes.

Despite Corey having this plan, it carried a great risk. He did not have much experience with Cognitum Erasure, and he didn't want to think of the dangers of using the skill on his mind. action

He had to become extremely proficient in using the skill, and luckily for him, he had a lot of test subjects just waiting for him outside the tent.

"Let's hope this works."

----- (10 Years Later)

Corey sat in a study that was filled with a lot of shelves. His brows were furrowed deeply as he read a book on his table.

To his right was his sister who wore a black suit and trouser.

Her gaze as she looked at her brother was one of expectation and hope.

"Brother?"

Corey remained silent for a few seconds, then he turned towards her with a light smile.

"It's time."

The instant Anna heard those words, her eyes revealed excitement and hatred.

Finally, they could destroy the Perzian Empire.

They could finally avenge their parents.

Despite ten years having gone by, she could still remember the day of their parents death.

After that day, her brother had changed. He was much colder, arrogant, brave, and intelligent.

He did things which were unfathomable in her eyes.

He was able to join the Perzian Empire as a soldier even though he was a slave, and he even rose through the ranks of the army at an extremely fast speed.

His combat ability and physical prowess were also higher than normal.

He even caught the eye of the Perzian Emperor, formed a lot of connections, and became an extremely influential figure in the Empire.

Everybody regarded her as his assistant, and she had always been beside him no matter what.

Even though her brother was now different after that day, he was always warm and caring towards her.

She even felt like he cared about her wellbeing more after the death of their parents.

Something which she didn't find surprising.

She also cared deeply for her brother. They were the last of their family, so why wouldn't they cherish themselves.

The siblings walked out of Corey's study, their steps leading to destruction of the Perzian Empire which had stood for countless years. (50 Years Later)

Corey sat atop a throne with an indifferent expression as he looked at the kneeling kings and emperors of the top kingdoms and empires.

It had taken him fifty years after he destroyed the Perzian Empire to make his Empire, The Zane Empire, the sole ruler of the world.

Countless wars were waged on multiple kingdoms and empires. The rivers of blood that By his side was another throne on which his sister sat upon.

Her visage and temperament was much different compared to the past.

She too had fought alongside her brother in the wars he waged, deciding not to be treated like a princess.

Although, she could have decided to not fight in the wars and battles, something which her brother wanted and preferred.

She had told him that if he died, she would also die.

If he died in the battlefield, then she would also die in the battlefield after killing those who killed him.

She did not want to lose her brother who was her only family, and when Corey heard her words, he allowed her to fight alongside him.

The siblings were both regarded as the rulers of the Zane Empire, but were more known as the Siblings of War.

One sibling could kill a thousand men.

Two siblings could kill ten thousand men.

(250 Years Later)

Corey sat beside the headstone of a majestic and beautiful grave. His wrinkled face was that of relief as he rubbed his walking stick with a smile.

"Although, you're dead here sister. I don't know if I'll be able to join you wherever you are."

"I saved you in this world, and I'll save you in my world too."

Corey smiled, and he lifted his neck to look at the night sky. His aged eyes reflexively squinted as he gazed at the darkened sky.

"I don't know if I should say my experience in this world was that terrible."

Corey closed his eyes and chuckled. A few seconds later, his head dropped to the side, and his arms lifelessly fell to the ground.
