The Rise Of Calamity

Anyway, at this moment of time, I was currently walking through the streets of the city looking around with my exceeding senses penetrating through the stealth barrier that most people put up so others could not see their cultivation. 

Even with this, however, I could easily see through the cultivation of everyone and everything, even those who are in the crystallization stage.

This was the power of my divine eyes.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" A man who looked like a thug right out of an anime pointed his dagger at me with a menacing grin.

With a single swipe of my hand, however, I watched as the once healthy standing man turned into a ragged and bloody doll on the curb of the street, making half of those in the crowd sigh in relief that he was still alive, even though barely, while the others gasped in shock at the morbidity of the scene.

[Why didn't you kill him? You know you aren't far from finishing your first mission, right?] 

'Yeah, but what is the point? He will probably be worth less than a single point so there is no point in attacking him, even if it was a genocide of his clones' I shrugged nonchalantly.

It was only then that I paused when a ringing sound rang within my ears, causing me to raise a brown while asking Hela to show me who was calling.

[Ring Ring Ring]

[Incoming call from Rose]

[Would you like to accept the call?]

[Yes/No]

'Yes'

[Ding]

"Panny?" Rose spoke out from the other side of the line.

"Yes?" I began to walk again, this time talking at the same time to make sure not to waste time standing around, as if I am waiting for a random person to try and stab me to see what would happen to them, not that I thought anyone would even dare do such a thing after seeing the state of the man who had last attacked me.

"I have a bit of news for you. I'd like you to come to my office" Rose spoke out from the other side before hanging up.

*sigh*

After sighing, my figure flickered and disappeared completely from the place I once stood and appeared once again on top of a random house that I immediately jumped up off and ran in a particular direction with the speed and stealth of a ninja.

"What is it?" I asked while closing the door behind me.

"Three things. One, there is a dimensional crack that needs fixing nearby, and by nearby I mean within 200 miles of Lagua city. Secondly, there is another one that I will need you to take a look at" Before she could finish her sentence, I quickly cut her off with a question of my own.

"What the hell is a dimensional crack," I asked, this time completely stupefied by the terminology used since I had never heard of it before.

"You don't know?" She asked me, this time even more confused than me.

"Yes?" Now I was questioning if I did know what it was and had just forgotten or simply used another word for it.

"But you are from the Raven family... How the hell don't you know about dimensional cracks?" She looked at me like I was stupid.

"Well, even though I was in the Raven family, I chose to leave it. They still hadn't told me anything about anything they did. In fact, I didn't even know how powerful the Raven family was until I met you" I shrugged and took my mask off before placing it on her table and lifting my feet off the floor to also place them on the table.

"No feet on the table" She tried to shoo my feet away.

"Too late" I slammed my feet down and let out a relaxed sigh.

"Anyway..." A vein bulged on her forehead while her fists began to itch to hit something, primarily me though.

"Dimensional cracks are like little pocket dimensions where monsters are born. While beasts are just evolved versions of animals, monsters are beings made out of chaotic and evil energies in the chaotic abyss. They usually come in races like goblins and orcs, but sometimes can even merge with beasts to create a much more monstrous version of that beast. The worst-case we had seen so far was in a group of monsters we called minotaurs. We only saw them a few times before, but whenever we see them we usually can't beat the dimensional crack before they can escape, meaning when they do escape they create monster tides by merging their habitats with our world and causing all the beasts within to spawn in our world" 

Nodding slightly, I chose to ask Hela, someone, I thought of as a much more reliable source than humans of this world.

[You will see when you enter it. It will be quite a shock though, even though it won't be bad as the shock that everyone in this world would feel if they were to know about the truth kekekek~]

'...'

[What]

'Your laugh'

[...]

"You said there was something else you wanted to tell me too?" I raised a brow, trying not to leak out my dying laughter

"Oh yeah. I'll have you deployed in a small city in the west region. There has been a sudden outbreak of beasts tides attacking nearby towns and cities. While we think that there might have been the birth of a new alpha or king for the beasts in those areas, we can't be too sure."

"So you want me to exterminate them?"

"No! The threat is low right now and the tide had been classified at a C rank tide. If there is a king, it will be barely as strong as the wyvern you fought half a year ago. What we want you to do is protect those who are going to attack the beast tide"

I looked at her for a bit with a weird expression on my face, making her finally elaborate.

"Students of the Academy, as well as mercenaries at C rank or under, will take part, and since you have finally become an A rank, you will be leading them...."
