The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 267 - Catastrophe III

'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

*Clang* 

A shadowy figure slowly came out of Zack's shadow and snapped their swords towards the incoming claw, slicing the beast in half before the beast could even realize what had hit them.

"Uncle Alan?" Zack looked back in shock, not expecting uncle alan to come out of nowhere and save his life like that.

"It's nothing kid. Just make sure you don't have any more close calls like that. I can't save you every time you feel like dying" Alan chuckled before disappearing into shadowy specks that move along with the wind.

"Wow! Was that your uncle, Zack?" A boy asked while pointing at the black specks of light with amazement.

"Yes," The pride exuding out of Zack at this moment of time could almost be tasted by everyone within a 25-meter radius, causing them to look at him as if he was stupid.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xela slowly lowered her hand with a sigh of relief leaving he mouth. In the same instant, three spears made out of ice appeared from thin air and shot towards the three closest beasts that were about to attack her.

"Looks like I will have to go all out" She muttered before looking at the sky with a wry smile.

*BOOM*

Suddenly, an earth-shaking gold gust of air exploded from where she stood and spread out, causing every beast in the area to become ice cubes.

Everyone on her team looked at her at the same time and finally decided to do the same thing.

'Full power' they all thought, causing lights of different colors to explode from within their bodies as mists of light or darkness.

"AHHH!" The voice of a girl rang out from a particular direction, however, before any of them could even look in that direction, they watched as a powerful sphere of water with chaotic whirlpools and waves within moved towards the beast that was attacking the girl at a blinding speed.

However, unlike everyone had expected, instead of the sphere hitting the beast and exploding, it instead pushed the beast back and even began to pile them up.

"What is he doing?" Clara could not help but ask aloud while spearing one of the insectoid beasts into the ground.

"He is a genius" My grandma exclaimed.

"Genius?" Throid asked as he jumped up in the air.

"Yes..." 

In the next instant, they finally saw why Xela looked so proud and at the same time, so amazed by what Zack had just done.

*BLOOM*

The water sphere had begun to implode, however, in a single second, it was able to explore before all the water molecules halted mid-air.

Everyone could only watch as those same pockets of water began to circulate into a small tornado. Simultaneously, the air began to get sucked into the vortex alongside water being condensed from the air and into the tornado of water.

*Snap* 

A Zack snapped his fingers everyone was once again shocked by his amazing display of power as they once again watched those same pockets of water turn into ice spikes while whirling around the tornado, shooting through whatever beast that was near until it finally ran out of power.

*ROAR* 

A heaven-shaking roar came from the center of the beast tide shout out in all directions, even flinging up multiple beasts that were closer to it and throwing them into the air.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge golden figure shot out of the beast tide while drumming its chest.

"Golden-furred ape" Xela could not help but mutter under her breath

*Pant* 

"I'll take it from here" Zarch patted the panting Zack on the shoulder before walking forwards with a step. In the next instant, he had disappeared from where was and had become one with thin air, or that was what everyone thought anyway.

*SWISH* 

The sound of both water and wind flushed into the ears of everyone within the area, yet even though they would have expected the sound to come from where to gorilla-looking golden ape had landed, it was instead coming from the air.

This time, it was the beasts that had begun to shudder in their places, unable to move a single muscle in front of the dangerous feeling that they were currently feeling.

"FULL POWER" Zarch's young voice rang throughout the battlefield, causing even more people to begin looking up at what was happening.

"Oh my god..." Some muttered

"What is that?" 

"What a monster"

"A monster amongst humans."

"Such power"

All their agape expression were pointed in one direction, and that was in the direction of Zarch who was now currently floating mid-air with a platform of solidified air below his feet. His arms were both up while something lay between his palms.

"Oh my god" Xela quickly created a water barrier around her before expanding it at a pace and power that could be better described to be more of a crowd controlling shockwave that would send everything around her within a certain radius flying

Between Zarch's palms floated a water sphere, yet this was not any kind of water sphere, it was a ranging water sphere.

However, this was far from the reason why everyone was so impressed, Instead, they were impressed at something else. No... They were left shaken to their cores by something else. 

Something that no human below the Gaseous stage should be able to achieve.

The thing that scared them the most was...

Its size...

*ROAR* The golden ape roared before drumming its chest and getting ready to jump up as high as it could towards the 45 meters-wide raging water sphere.

"Everyone! PROTECT HIM!" Xela roared catching everyone's attention, yet instead of asking any questions, everyone worked simultaneously and together to make sure that the beast would not even get close to the kid.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Dozens if not hundreds of spells shot out towards the beast that had already flung itself towards the boy, and while they all almost had no effect on the beast, its primary purpose of slowing it down was almost achieved.

"God's blessing" Xela held on tight to a necklace around her neck with a stone made of golden glass with one of her hands while wielding her staff with the other.

"GOD'S BLESSING!" her voice thundered like a lightning bolt on a clear night.

Without a second to pause, a golden aura exploded out of her body, an aura so strong that it made almost every beast in the battlefield submit to her will.

This was the aura of a divine. An aura so powerful that it would cause any lower race to feel a sense is a suppression, no matter how strong they were nor unless they were in a completely different plane from the user.

"SHATTERER OF GLACIERS! SPLITTER OF OCEANS! I CALL UPON THEE! THEE WHO SHALL CONQUER ALL! DIVINE SPEAR OF ICE!"
