The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 190 - You Guys Are So F*cking Stupid

*Thunder* *Slash* *Thud*

The head of a black-furred lion hit the ground with a thud before I could even reach the ground. Right now I was already on the right side of the lion even though not even a few instants before, I had appeared on its left side.

I casually glanced back while seething my katana into its scabbard and concomitantly powering down to my base power by deactivating lightning of absolution.

'It's a shame I won't be able to use lightning of absolution after my base power reached the initial Liquidus stages' I sighed disappointingly before feeling the surge of euphoria and pleasure enter my body after killing the beast. It was not as good as killing a silver-ranked human, but the pleasure was there.

'OOH!' A glint of excitement flashed within my eyes.

After reading them all, the excited smile only grew larger, however, to the beasts outside of my mind, only a few seconds have passed making it so they hadn't even recovered enough to even question what I was currently looking at with such a smile.

'Quick, show me all my goals' I commanded excitedly

"Wow... Only 600?" I muttered out loud as my eyes landed on the second mission. I had thought I would have had around 1000 to 1500 at this point, but to think I hadn't even reached 3/4 of 1000...

My expression turned stiff, yet I still looked through the rest of the goals and nodded understandingly. 

I still had a long way to go, and finding Olivia and the rest was only a single step towards that goal.

After taking my mind off the list of goals that I had to do, I looked back towards the decapitated lion with an unreadable expression. The next second, the lion combusted into dark blue flames before instantaneously turning into nothing but a scorch mark on the grassy ground.

The rest of the beasts were still in shock as they could not keep their eyes away from the scorched grounds. I could see their gaped expressions that caused saliva to drip from their maws and mouths.

This scene made my smile twitch, but I kept mostly silent for the whole ordeal.

After waiting for a few more seconds, I eventually lost my patience before clasping my hands, consequently releasing a large gust of wind in all directions, finally waking up the rabbits and the rest of the weaker beasts from their stooper.

"Shall we get going then?" I smiled while they nodded with a sense of urgency.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? What if the thing inside has been locked there for a reason" A pale man spoke with a complicated expression

"Kosmos, you keep trying to get out of doing your duties with excuses like those Stop being a bitch and do your work" Kaif face palmed before grabbing his 'wife' by the hilt and walking away.

Kosmos slowly turned his head towards Mooshie before whispering "Don't you think this is kind of fishy? Why would someone as strong as the witch of agony lock someone up? And even then, we don't know if she had even left her prison making the current situation even less likely to be due to her."

However, to his words, Mooshie simply rolled her eyes and walked away. She could no longer take his crap and found it easier to ignore him.

"AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS?!" Kosmos felt like he was being treated like a mad man.

Suddenly, a hand fell on his shoulder before a coarse and deep voice entered his ears.

"Don't worry, I believe you..." 

Looking back, Kosmos saw Melomo giving him a sympathetic gaze while pity littered every speck of his body language.

Kosmos looked speechlessly at Melomo before stomping off in anger. How dare they think he was going mad! His points were completely valid! 

"If it was made by that damned witch, then it probably holds something that could help the humans, dwarves, and the rest of you undead. The person inside might be our only way of saving this continent and all the other continents from the doom that would fall upon them the moment the witch shows up again." Kaif voiced from inside one of the rooms in the boat.

"That is what I mean! We don't know it is the witch of agony! Maybe some kind of hero came out of nowhere and had decided to lock something even more dangerous than the witch!" The man shouted

*Sigh*

Three sighs became audible in almost synchronization which made a nerve on the head of Kosmos bulge in anger.

"YOU GUYS ARE SO FUCKING STUPI-" Before Kosmos could say anything, Kaif's voice resounded in everyone's ears once again.

"How about this. Me and there paladin will go to her tomb to see if she is still locked in there. If she is, then I'll call you to call it off, but if she isn't, it would be your fault that so many died..." He passed for a second before looking up at the blood dome and roaring in anger-

"Look at this!" He pointed at the blood dome. "This has the witch's fingerprints all over it! If she could create something like that the moment she got out of that tomb, how can we be sure that she hasn't fully recovered yet?"

"If that was the case, maybe we shouldn't have taken so fucking long to get here!" Melomo gnashed his teeth.

The sound of arguing could be heard coming from the middle of the ocean.. It was the sound that would make a married couple feel at home, while also being the sound that would make any virgin man shiver.
