The Rise Of Calamity

As I shot through the boundless blue skies littered with fluffy white clouds, the red aura leaking out of me had become stronger and larger.

It was as if my bloodlust would react to my heartbeat, becoming more powerful and more condensed every time I felt my heart thump.

[I'd say you have around 45 seconds from now on. We can see them barely 3 miles away from here so we should be fine if you don't do anything stupid]

Even though I was dying to reply, I simply stayed silent and swallowed my anger, not replying in fear of what I would say or what I would do if I were to reply.

*"KILL THEM"*

*"STEAL THEIR SOULS"*

*" THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE"*

*"THEY ARE INFERIOR TO US"*

*"BECAUSE WE ARE DEITIES"*

I could slowly feel my eyes becoming purple alongside my soul flame that had been flickering purple from the start, yet I was too blinded by having seen Throid and the rest of them for the first time alongside the anger I felt when they blamed everything on me.

"AFTER EVERYTHING THAT I WENT THROUGH" I girt my teeth while holding my staff with even form force.

"THEY STILL BLAMED EVERYTHING ON ME! AS IF I DON'T EXIST! AS IF EVERYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED WAS MY FAULT!"

[Calm down. You aren't in the right state of mind to start blaming people. Just kill the beasts first before you start to do something stupid]

*"NO ONE DESERVES YOU!"*

*"THEY SHOULD PRAISE YOU! YET THEY DEMINE YOU LIKE YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A MERE CHILD!"*

*"THEY SHOULD BE PRAISING YOU AS GOD! A GOD!"*

*ROOOOOOOOOOOOAR"

A roar came out of my mouth, one that I did not think was humanely possible, yet here I was letting out a thundering roar that moved the clouds and skies while causing the earth and air to shiver as if nature itself was terrified of what was about to happen.

[You have activated hidden genetic skill -Dragon's roar-]

At the same time, an enormous shockwave traveled through the land, uprooting lands and causing every beast in the area to feel a weight drop on their backs.

Suddenly, when they all looked forwards to running away as fast as they could, they halted in their places, looking towards the huge golden eyes laced with a tinge of purple that would flash every now and then.

However, the eyes that appeared in front of them, while illusionary, felt like eyes of a being so many levels higher than their own. A being of a higher race looking down upon them like ants of a colony.

Simple ants that could be exterminated with a few stomps.

Suddenly, the enormous eyes disappeared and a small figure with a ginormous aura appeared in front of them, and the only thing they could do was shudder in front of my presence.

'I gave them hope...' I closed my eyes

'And took it away so easily' A crazed smile stretched across my face.

'I wonder how they will taste now' I finally opened my eyes once again, this time them being almost completely violet.

*ROAR*

I roared one more time before catapulting myself into the mob of beasts.

*BOOM*

the moment I crashed, the only thing I could feel was the rush of euphoria and ecstasy.

The ground itself split around my foot while throwing the ground in every direction up.

*KILL EVERYTHING*

7 voices spoke at the same time filling me with an even stronger urge to kill, increasing my bloodlust further until I finally blacked out.

In the castle, the people around the round table simply looked at the hologram of me while discussing how to deal with the current situation without causing any big problems for their kingdom.

However, after they had spoken for a bit, they finally realized that one of the more chattery women on the table wasn't speaking.

Instead, she was looking into thin air with sweat dripping down her face alongside a terrifying expression that caused the whole room to feel distressed.

Everyone knew of her ability to be able to see large distances away, it was one of the characteristics of having the sloth title after all. And even if a few people didn't know, they would have found out the moment that she pulled up a hologram of me before speaking about how she could not see through the armor I was wearing.

"What is it, Reliora?" The king asked as he slowly rested his face on the palm of his hand.

"Y-Your majesty... I don't think the beasts will be much of a problem anymore" The woman could barely speak, but she still chose to squeak out a few words.

"What do you mean?" The King was now a little more intrigued, seen by his common behavior of scratching his grey and black beard whenever something he was intrigued by happened.

"Well, this girl that I was speaking of, the one that is coming here" She pointed at the hologram of me on top of the table.

"Oh yes, this beauty. Do you think she is from an influential family? Maybe I can ask for her hand in marriage" The king chuckled

"Well, I am sure her family is more than influential when they have a prodigy capable of using both battle intent and mana to such a high degree... That armor and that weapon too... They are too powerful to be of a family that is not connected to the emperor." A horrified expression finally overcame her worried expression after she finished her sentence.

"What is it?" The king also began to sweat, this time more out of anxiety than anything else.

If someone connected to the emperor were to come to his kingdom, he would need to greet them properly if not even join them in the battle they were fighting, and if they were to die on his lands, the emperor might be just uncaring enough to wipe out everyone in their royal family.

"look at this" She tapped her finger on the table as the quivery voice rang out through the silent room.

Suddenly, the hologram of me slaughtering countless beasts with my spear began to flash before stabilizing into a proper hologram.
