The Rise Of Calamity

[Ring Ring]

[Incoming call from Rose]

[Would you like to answer?]

[Yes/No}

'Yes,' I spoke inside my mind before asking Hela to pause the music I was listening to.

"Sup" I spoke out without halting my sprinting.

"Disaster! You have no idea what kind of crap is happing in the city you are going to"

"Lecross? I think that is what it was called" I scratched my cheek.

"Yes, that! The beast tide has come 2 days too early! I need you guys to get there as fast as possible! Where are you right now?"

"2 days too early? Damn... Anyway, we are in a forest pretty far away actually. We took the teleportation hub thingy but after that, we couldn't take the second one because it was out of commission. Anyway, we should be able to get there in half a day if we are moving at this pace." I took a glance back.

"I take it back. We'll take at least a day" I shrugged

"WELL, I NEED YOU TO GET THERE QUICKLY!" Rose shouted in a panic

"Okay Okay! I'll leave Olivia with June, okay?" I sighed

"Okay! I need you there as quickly as possi-" Before she could finish speaking, I quickly cut off the call and flickered from my spot, appearing in a few hundred meters back

"Oi, you two" I called out to both of them, causing them both to halt their movement and get into battle stances out of fear, June of course being a lot faster at the process than Olivia.

"Everyone! MOVE OUT!" The voice of a burly man echoed throughout the battlefield as all the humans began to charge towards the beast tide as they roared like savage animals.

"You know, I think there was always one thing that Pandora was right about," Throid said while slicing down at one of the beasts.

"What?" Alan and Xela asked while the rest of the group glanced towards Throid.

"Humans are worse than the beasts themselves" Thoid threw a glance at one of the groups of humans flailing their arms around, trying to kill anything around them whether it was friend or foe, human or beast. They were all attacking everything that moved and so were hundreds of other warriors

"Aren't these guys supposed to be seasoned warriors and mages? What is this then!" One of the leaders that stood on top of the wall and tried to give orders shouted to the man next to him in exasperation at the scene that was unfolding right before his eyes.

"Yes... I might have miscalculated when sending them out" The man net to him took a sip from his tea, causing the leader's forehead to bulge in anger while imaginary steam started to pour out of the man's ears.

The scene was quite comical, to say the least.

3 hours later, all the people who were hacking away at the beasts were now moving at a significantly slower speed than they once were. While some had invigoration potions to keep their stamina in top state at all times, their injuries would not recover without the help of a cleric therefore severely lowering their stamina and making even those who were able to afford to bring invigoration potions to this battle run out eventually.

"There are too many" Throid moved his arm up and hacked at one of the boars that tried to attack him.

When he finally hit the boar, he felt a vibration go through his numb arm and into his shoulders, yet he could not grimace in pain, not here and not now.

"I can't go on much longer" Gold moved her machete and slashed towards the head of a golden gorilla that instantly blocked her attack.

In the next moment, the golden gorilla struck her in the stomach, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood

She did not give up, however, as in a split second she was able to turn a slash at the arm of the gorilla with all her power and might behind it.

*SLASH*

*Thud*

The sound of the machete cleaving through the skin and bone rang out in the battlefield before being immediately soaked up by the sounds of metal clanging and roars reverberating throughout the blood-soaked areas, whether that would be the painful scream of a human or the howling of a beast, no one would know. 

On the battlefield, there was no race, no gender, no species. All that mattered was power.

"AHHHHHHHHH" The man that had walked in stretching alongside Gold felt a claw go right through his chest, causing him to scream out loud at the sudden ambush.

"TEDDY!" Gold shouted, however, she had immediately become too preoccupied with her own enemies to even get close to Teddy

"NOOOOOOO" She roared with the voice of a beast and the aura of a dragon exploding out of her body. In the next instant, killing intent spread out of her before enveloping her blades while she cleaved through everything she saw that stood between her and Teddy.

"STUDENTS ARE COMING OUT NOW!  I REPEAT! THE STUDENTS ARE JOINING THE BATTLE!" The announcer spoke through the magic crystal that amplified his voice by making the runes glow up and dim every time he spoke.

"AHHHH" Gold rushed forwards until she found the body of Teddy, half-eaten on the muddy floor as the beasts around him growled at Gold with bloody and vicious auras coming out of them.

"DAMN YOU" Gold once again began to aimlessly attack everything within sight, destroying them and cutting their limbs off one by one before leaving them limbless and waiting to bleed out

*Tap*

*Zing*

On Xela's side of the battle, everything almost seemed under control. This was the power of mages, people are able to wipe out towns with a single spell if powerful enough yet at the same time people who can easily manage crowd control in the situations like these

With a single tap on the muddy floor, a buzzing sound reverberated throughout the area and created a water barrier that protected from all the incoming attacks from a fireball to a punch or even a clew.

In the next second, however, the barrier quickly shattered and turned into water spears that shot right through the skulls of everyone and everything that was attacking.

However, even though she was could have relaxed a bit at the moment, her whole body tensed up at the words she heard being announced.

'ZARCH! ZACK! I HAVE TO GET TO THEM BEFORE-' She snapped her head towards the direction of the two boys just to see a beast aim for one of their necks the instant they had gotten out of the city.

"ZACK!" Xela roared at the top of her voice, stretching her arm towards Zack in an attempt to save him, yet she was simply too far away to do anything
