The Rise Of Calamity

"Lilith!" A familiar voice shouted before stepping in front of me.

Not even sparing her a glance, I simply walked forwards and simultaneously pushed her from my way with a gust of air magic to her liver.

"Ugh" June was instantly flung aside and she loudly groaned in pain.

"HEY! YOU CANNOT DO THAT! SHE IS PART OF YOUR GUILD! YOUR FAMILY!" Raquaze unsheathed his blade and blocked my way. Seeing him do this, other party members, even the ones that were against June being right, immediately stepped in as well to help their captain.

Rose looked at this with curiosity and amusement, but due to her being a guildmaster of one of the top guilds in the Southern regions of the empire, she could not stand idly as one of her members fought alone while protecting two people.

Olivia also saw this coming the moment she saw the way everyone looked at June when she was hit. This leads her to reach for her sword on instincts just find it not there.

With a sigh, my body started to flicker and disappear leaving behind Olivia and the tiny golden crackles of lighting behind. In the next moment, I was back but this time hands were not holding anyone. On the other hand, Rose was almost 50 meters away carrying an unconscious white-haired girl that had basically been thrown at her to take care of.

As I stood firmly on the ground I looked Raquaz in the eyes. Even though Raquaz was a powerful man when it came to both physical strength and mental strength, he could not resist shuddering under the gaze of my divine eyes.

"Raquaz... I am warning you if you do not step aside right now something we both don't want will occur." My voice was almost primordial. It caused silence among the crowds, yet nature itself was shaking in its wake. 

The winds had become more powerful as well as the air within 20 cm of my body became visibly distorted by the pressure I was releasing. The clouds began to gather towards us as the sound of the ruling could be constantly heard proportionate to the darkness of the cloud above us.

"Tell me, what would occur?" River stepped forwards with folded arms as she looked at me with a slightly degrading glare, clearly showing that she did not take my threat seriously.

*Step*

In response, I took a single step forwards.

Raquaz also stepped forward and got into a fighting stance as he whispered "Get back, River"

When I saw this, I could not help but give him a ridiculing tilt of the head. In the next second, I threw out my hand to the side with an open palm as a golden sword created out of arcane magic slowly started to form which I grasped onto the moment the handle was finally created.

"Alright you two, that is enough" Rose finally flickered in between both of us as she carried Yuri the same way I had been carrying her before I had given her off to Rose.

"I WILL NOT BAC-" before Raquaz could even say anything, a flick of the finger hit his forehead making him fly in the other direction.

"I will not watch as one of my own has to fight another party because another of my own had made a stupid decision" She glanced at June with a sigh.

"Anyway, let us all forget this happened and go home. I am sure we all had a rough night so far but try to sleep it off for a few hours when you get back, okay?" She watched as they all hesitantly nodded.

"Alright, good. Now shoo" she waved her hand dismissively at the party as she flickered towards me and Olivia.

Right now, Olivia had an extremely complex expression, yet I chose to not say anything since she might start thinking that I was prying.

We spent the next 15 minutes running towards my room at a moderate speed that Olivia could handle since she was no basically a lot slower than me and Rose even though I did not know the full capability of Rose's power.

Eventually, within the 15 minutes, it took us to get to my room in the hotel, my eyes had lit up as if I had remembered something.

Looking towards Rose I scratched the side of my mask while saying "Oh yeah. I forgot to mention the fact that I had left that bastard from the lighting dragon guild in the cellar."

Rose looked at me as if I was stupid before facepalming and muttering just loud enough for only us to hear "Do you think I am stupid or something? Of course, I know you left him! You aren't carrying him on you right now, are you? I already sent a team to pick him up before he gets eaten by one of the hungry beasts".

The corner of my mouth twitched.

'Oh well. I guess I have become so intelligent that I now think everyone around me is stupid... HAHAHAHAHA' I started to rejoice at the fact that there was no longer anyone in my mind to constantly remind me how stupid I was.

Before I knew it, we were in front of the hotel.

"Wanna crash at my place?" I looked at Rose since I already knew the answer Olivia would be forced to give since she didn't really have any money on her to get her own room.

"Don't worry, I'll get a double room for me and Yuri. We can do the catching up when we get back home because I am sure you two" She glanced between me and Olivia "-Will need your privacy"

Seeing where she looked, I also glanced at the solemn Olivia who turned tomato red in an instant.

"Alright bye." I waved towards Rose who walked in with her usual emotionless Depression.

Seeing Rose walk in, I looked back at Olivia and smiled behind the mask.

"Should we go in now too?" I pointed with my thumb towards the doors before receiving a nod.
