The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 60 - The Power Of A White Wolf

Feathers moved like bullets with the grace of a butterfly. Every single Feather shone with a bright muddy brown and crystal white, leaving behind simple trace of white behind as it pierced through the air.

Every feather cut through the air like a drop of magma on a cube of butter. Power of light and earth radiated of the feathers with elegance and dignity. Every speck of power that exuded from the feathers had a suppressive aura that made everyone but me and the Wizard kneel.

I had a pre-existing naturally exuding aura of suppression that came out of my soul flame whether I likes it or not, and in this kind of situation, suppressive aura's usually clash, and mine being the slightly more powerful one meant I was not forced to kneel like the rest of the humans.

I looked towards the caster of such a spell, just to see Keaurin standing there with two huge wings protruding out of his back. The feathery white wings clearly had a few feathers missing, but they were still very beautiful. Every feather had yellow veins that exuded earthen energy, while the whiteness of the feathers exuded an extremely suppressive almost divine aura. With an agape expression, I instinctually turned towards the Wizard even though I didn't need to due to my 360 vision.

Every single feather moved with so much power that the supreme lighting spell was eradicated in a few seconds, destroying the weird electro-static mist moving outwards at amazing speeds. However, even after the mist was destroyed, the feathers did not stop for a single second, moving towards the neck of the Wizard at break-neck speeds that made them look more like beams than feathers.

A few hand seals before, the wizard watched as his supreme level spell was destroyed in an instant, making shock and fear envelop his body, making him panically create a few hand seals for another supreme level spell, just this time it was a movement type spell.

One moment, the shirtless Wizard was preforming some hand seals, the other, he had disappeared from his place entirely. If it wasn't for my improved senses and 360 degree vision, It would have taken me a few second to realise that he had just started to run away, even with my mind acceleration unsuppressed.

I instantly started to run towards the direction of the Wizard just to find out I was walking backwards, consequently making me trip under my own feet. Clearly I was not yet used to having the 360 degree vision, even though I had though I would get used to it pretty quickly. Watching something was no longer a problem, but the instincts my mind had developed over almost 40 years would clash with my current body, making most actions like running difficult as I sometimes forget which direction I am facing.

Keaurin had already sensed the power of another Supreme level spell being casted, and when there were no exuded aura or mana fluctuations on the outside, he had already guessed it would be a movement type, meaning the Wizard was either going to attack or run away. Due to the fact Keaurin knew this, he had found it a lot easier to track the Wizard down and even shoot him down with the feathers.

Hundreds of feathers moved together like swarms of wasps towards the fleeing Wizard, as if he had tried to touch their nest. Clear panic was visible on the Wizard's face as he clearly was not expecting someone else to have the light affinity, and be much stronger than him too at that.

'F*CK' He cursed inwardly as he watched the hundreds of feathers closing in on him, clearly faster due to their small size, yet even then, they were much more deadly than things hundreds of times larger and heavier than them.

A few hand seals later, I watched as the mana fluctuations completely subsided, informing me that the Wizard had run out of mana.

'A spell is coming' I thought while putting myself in a fighting stance.

"Lightning of Absolution: Zeus' Wrath!" The Wizard roared loud enough to make most human eardrums bleed.

The clouds became darker and darker while random lighting strikes began to smash onto the ground. The skies roared while the winds howled. Every single animal, beast and human within the forest became either vigilant or had started to shiver in fear from the pure power exuding from the spell.

An eerie silence resounded through the entire forest, only being broken by the rumbles of the heavens.

A Duke Tier Spell

A spell with the power to change the weather and topple armies. 'Truly frightening!'

All the feathers were eradicated with a single gigantic bolt of lighting that had descended from the rumbling skies. My eyes grew wide by the second, as every single hair on my body stood, simultaneously, my very soul shook to tell make me run away from the scene in front of me.

Just when I was about to take that advice, I saw the Wizard weakly motioning his had towards us. He did not have much time due to the fact her had depleted his mana to a level it would leave cracks within his mana heart, that would not heal for at least a few years with the best treatment.

'I have no choice!' I shouted inwardly, while simultaneously opening my eyes slowly. By the time my eyes were fully open, my head was being bombarded by so much information that I would usually fall onto my knees. But not now! Not Today!

'F*CK! I WONT DIE AGAIN! NOT THIS WAY! I'VE BUILT SO MUCH, AND I WONT LOSE IT TO SOME A*SHOLE!'

Without me even realising it, the divine energy within my mana heart already started to circulate around by using the mana veins and arteries. A minute amount of golden hue enveloped my body, and especially my eyes.

So much mana was going towards my eyes that I thought they were going to explode. When the mana subsided a little, instead of me being berated by a gallon of information, what I saw was the most beautiful yet chaotic scene of all my lives.

The scene in front of me was a mirage between 6 different colours, coming together or clashing. The scene instantly shattered, but it was ingrained into my mind, as if it was my own long lost memory that had emerged from within, yet now I can never forget it.

The moment the scene had disappeared, I found myself making eye contact with the Wizard that was aiming towards us weakly. The instant we locked eyes, his pupils shrank while his soul flame shook to it's core. This was the power of my divine eyes! To make anything and everything below it kneel at it's very stare. Truly a power beyond the mortal comprehension.

From the Wizard's perspective, he watched as my eyes became large and enveloped his entire body, giving him nowhere to run. Enveloping his entire body and soul, memories of his life flashed before his eyes as the golden energy transformed his surroundings into the surroundings of the memories he had.

One by one, he watched as all the good memories of his family flashed before his eyes, like spending the last 10 years of your life in a single second. A second later, he watched as all those memories turned into nightmares, as every single one of the his loved ones turned into splattered casualties on the side of a street.

Not a single person would look at them, not a single person would even try to help them. Every human just walked past his loved one's dead bodies, as if those loved ones did not exist.

"papa" Said a little girl from behind him. When he looked back, it was a little girl, probably 3 years old, looking at her dead mother on the other side of the street with a lifeless look within her eyes.

"Why did mama have to die?" asked the little girl whole looking at the half destroyed corpse.

dozens of black feathers could be seen covering the women's body, yet the only thing that could be seen through those feathers were the expression of terror and guilt she had within her contorted pale white face that did not seem to have relaxed after death.

"It's all your fault" continued the little girl

"if you didn't make a contract with those guys, mama would be alive... Papa, why did you take mama from me" Asked the little girl, with a wavering voice

The wizard stood still, watching as his wife's body was trampled by a man walking on the side of the road. Thinking about the question his daughter asked him, he muttered "why did your mother have to die?" to himself, seemingly unaware he was speaking out loud, not that it mattered anyway.

"Papa... Why did I have to die...." Asked the little girl, making the Wizard tense up for a split second before she continued "You said you loved me, and would do anything for me, but you let me die... Why did you let me die? You said you were the strongest in the world, that you were going to protect us..."

Tears started to well up in the cold eyes of the little girl, freezing almost instantly. Without warning, a cold blizzard appeared out of nowhere, making it extremely hard to see more than 2 meters ahead of you.

The Wizard covered himself with his robe while grabbing his daughter to pull her within his cloak and keep her warm. The moment his warm fingers touched her skin, a sharp cold shiver was sent down his body. Already pulling her arm, it completely came off making the wizard fall on the ground with terror within his eyes.

He had not been able to process anything so far, all he knew was that something happened to his family, but non of the things that his daughter said sank in. He felt completely powerless while his brain slowed down to such a degree that thoughts were not easy to create. This was his body's instinct as to save him from the shock of his family being slaughtered, the shock that might kill a man the moment they embrace it.

Looking at the puny arm within his hands, he watched as cracks formed from the tip of the fingers to the end of the shoulder, which was also where the arm was detached from. His eyes kept going from blurry to normal, then watery to completely blurry.

Without him even knowing it, he had gritted his gums so hard that they had already started to bleed.

Slowly looking up with his blurry vision, his eyes went from the tips of his daughters bare toes to the thighs, to the waist and finally her face. Everything was frozen and her skins had already started to turn a shade of blue, yet, not a single shiver could be seen on her body.

Her body had already started to shrivel up, while her hair had turned white and started to fall off on it's own.
