The Rise Of Calamity

Quickly supressing my bloodlust to a point where it couldn't be felt by anyone around me, I heard three audible held breaths being finally let go. The brothers and the driver had held their breath due to my bloodlust and had let go of it without even realizing they had held it, However, I chose to not pay too much attention them for now as there were much bigger problems in the horizon.

Crouching down, I dashed towards the nearest man moving on his own while also keeping sound, footsteps and my general presence as low as possible, however, due to my passive release of dominating intent, apparently trying to become an assassin is not easy and will generally not work out for me in the future.

Immediately, the man coming towards us solo, who happens to also be the closest enemy, had started looking around with vigilance before locking onto my location.

"Amateur" he muttered under his breath. Hearing this, instead of the casual bloodthirsty smile I usually had when fighting enemies, it had been replaced with a dead-pan frown.

'Should I just go back to being a mage? Maybe a sniper?' I thought while pointing my index finger towards the man in a pistol hand sign.

*BANG*

I had used my strongest and fastest bullet, being the extremely compressed air sniper bullet which would literally create a vacuum around it to lessen the air resistance. Yes, this used a sh*t ton of mana, but I'm willing to sacrifice. However, It seemed that my sacrifice had went to waste because the immediate reaction of the man when he had heard the noise it to jump up on the branches.

This forced me to change the trajectory of the bullet, causing it to both lose momentum and also drain me of my mana due to the distance.

'Ah f*ck! Why didn't I use analysis to find the best way to shoot first?!' I reprimanded my self inwardly

"Found you~" The hooded man with a face mask up to his nose sung with a melodic voice.

"F*ck" I said while summoning 10 other bullets and shooting all of them towards the opponent. They were mostly air and earth bullets because i didn't want him to know about my fire, to keep it as a trump card in case anything goes wrong. I needed to increase my proficiency with wind and earth any way, and even though I'm already pretty good with wind manipulation, I'm only good at the basics.

'I don't even have a proper wind spell!' I thought to myself while revealing light's brigade and charging with it towards the enemy. I had split my sword into two katana's, each wielding a different element.

'Gale slash' I thought while making the spell and the name of the spell in my head while continuously growing closer to the enemy, who was also dashing towards me at this point.

Slashing the air with my wind coated sword, I created a an arch of air that sped towards the enemy with extreme speeds. Seeing the slash coming towards him, the man quickly shifted his feet with a furrowed brows and tried to move out of the way. Unfortunately for him though, he had underestimated my capabilities which gave him a big surprise when he felt a rock hard grip on both his ankles.

The stone hands quickly pushed his ankles into the liquified mud, now solid.

Swiftly, he moved his hand down to slash the air with his right palm, slashing it and summoning an arch of fire that shot towards the Wind Arch. However, I did not stop as I dashed around summoning more wind arches and shooting them towards the hooded man, which caused him to also do the same, giving him no time to get out of the mud trap.

Suddenly however, the hair on the back of the man's neck stood up while a feeling of danger came out from within the debris and smoke around the area, however, now that had stopped attacking with my wind blades, he had found enough time to get out of the ground.

*SWISH*

*FWISH*

Barely dodging the fast objects coming from the smoke, the man took a single glance just to see a 1 meter long lance protruding from the ground like an American flag on the moon.

*FWISH*

*STAB*

Another object came out of the smoke and debris, but this time, it was an arrow that didn't give the man any time to dodge my attack. Taking advantage of the opening I had created, the smoke and debris finally dissipated to show the full glory of dozens of weapons descending from the air and accelerating in at tremendous speeds.

I could literally taste the despair his soul flame was emitting as the weapons came closer, however, to my surprise, he did not stand down and take his fate at face value. Despite his soul flames wails for help and cries of despair, he had a determined expression on his face as he activated what seemed to be his trump card.

"OVERHEAT: MAGNIFICENT ERUPTION" The mana roared as the heat within a 100 meter radius became progressively hotter as I would got closer to the source.

'F*CK! His committing suicide! Don't f*cking kamikaze me! I screamed inwardly while trying to get away from the overheating man, who has now started to show magma cracks on his skin while his clothes had been completely incinerated.

Dashing away from the lava man, I didn't taken another glance back out fear that it might slow me down and get me caught up with the whole supernova kamikaze this man was abut to commit, However, one thing I did do was use both 'windy steps' and 'gravity control' to decrease my weight and increase my speed, while also creating an air current in front of me that would stop me from being affected by any air resistance.

*BOOM*

My brothers and driver watched as the flash of light disappeared and a large dome of orange fire expanded from the center of the light. While they were at least a kilometer or two away from the centre of the explosion, they couldn't help but feel threatened by its size. However, a realization had dawned on them a moment later.

'Wasn't that where Pandora went?!'

….

On the other side of the forest were three men running together in a triangle three man formation. This was of course, until they heard the loud explosion that shook the entire forest while making its inhabitants flee for safety.

"What was that?" Asked a feminine voice behind a grey hood and a black cotton mask going up to her cheek bones. Even with the hood and the oversized jacket that seemed to inconvenient for battles, her curves could still be seen quite clearly, yet it left a mysterious vibe that left much to the imagination.

"Don't tell me... RYAN! NO! T-there's no way... R-right?" Asked a slightly shorter cloaked man.

"Well, if it is Ryan, we can't stop and cry about it, we must get revenge for him. But, from what I'm seeing, that was the suicide technique Ryan had learnt in case he fought to strong of an anime alone..." another man, at least 6ft 2 with a large build this time, tried to say confidently, but a slight crack within his voice broke the façade.

'I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill those bastards! FIRST THAT ROTTEN VILLAGE TAKES MY LIFE AWAY, AND NOW THEY HAVE TAKEN RYAN'S SOUL!? THEY'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME! THEY DESERVE TO DIE! ALL OF THEM! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!' The man with a large build swore inwardly

"DAMNIT!" The women said while smashing her fist into a tree before continuing "Let's kill those bastard villagers who took away what was ours. Let's avenge out our parents, our brothers and sisters who have fought for us for so many years, and... a-and.... AND FOR RYAN!" She roared while dashing forwards, now leading the team of three.
