The Rise Of Calamity

3 arches of lightning shot towards the most sinful 3 that happened to be 3 men from the lighting dragons guild. At the same time, I looked at the women who seemed to have lost their wills to live before making a decision.

"You can call it mercy killing" I muttered as three more arches of lightning shot towards the women, yet was stopped by a blood wall.

"Lilith, that is enough" Rose\'s voice thundered throughout the cellar, yet my biggest concern was to make sure to plug Olivia\'s ears just enough for her not to be able to hear any of the commotions. This of course can easily be done with a bit of air magic to redirect the sound away from her ears.

"What are you doing?" I glared at Rose.

"We need these guys so we can submit the mission in." Rose tried to argue

"No, we don\'t" I blatantly counter-argued while making sure that she would know that I was not about to back down from this argument.

Rose on the other hand was speechless.

"I was the one who asked for the mission in the first place, I know how the mission works." She was trying to reason with what she thought were prideful and idiotic claims that I was making just so I could kill those bastards who even dared to think of touching my Olivia.

"I know you did, and I read that same mission over and over for a few days now. I know how it works. It was originally mentioned to be a B-ranked mission but what we had just gone through was scarping the S ranks. Not only did I have to fight a Peak Diamond-tier wyvern, but I also had to find the hostages and save them before they were killed off by beasts, or even worse before they killed themselves off. The only reason it isn\'t an S rank mission is that it does not have a single person in the Liqui- I mean, not a single creature who exceeds the archduke magical beast tier" I explained.

After comprehending what I had said for a few more seconds, Rose simply sighed with a shrug while muttering before I could even finish explaining all the details "Do whatever you want, I don\'t care anymore. Just make sure the two regional guild masters are out safely, okay?"

The next moment, she had already walked out making my mouth twitch slightly.

\'This damn... Whatever.\'

"N-NO! PLEASE DON\'T KILL ME! I HAVE A FAMILY! I HAVE FRIENDS WHO WILL FIND YOU! YOU WILL REGRET IT" One of the men shouted making the other men around him riled up enough to shout with him. However before he could even squeak another word through that disgusting throat of his, a golden lightning bolt went right through his head and exploded his head.

Everyone looked at the headless body drop to its knees before falling to the right while blood continued to gush out of where its head was supposed to be.

Everyone instantly became silent, yet this did not stop me from pointing my finger at the next man. Air began to circulate at the tip of my finger before leaving it with a bang and entering the head of the man and making it also explode from the sheer power put behind the sniper bullet.

"Y-YES! SHOOT HIM! HE USED ME! PLEASE KILL THEM A-" The woman who had begun preaching felt something extremely powerful touch the center of her forehead before everything turned black and her life was no more.

"Tsk... Annoying" I muttered as I blew at the tip of my finger as if it was a real gun that was releasing smoke rather than just my finger that happens to be able to use magic.

After a few more minutes of watching all of them beg for forgiveness or tell me to shoot someone, almost all of them were already dead with almost the entire ground being dyed with the beautiful color of their blood.

\'Ugh... It doesn\'t feel the same anymore. Before their sins were enough for me to feel an unimaginable amount of pleasure, but now? Ugh... I need something like that wyvern\'s soul again. Something so powerful, sinful and domineering to satiate my hunger..."

"You don\'t seem satisfied" The man who had sat silently in the corner of the room as all his members died finally spoke. Since he was the regional guildmaster, I did not kill him but even if I wanted to, there was really no reason to. From the scent of his soul as well as the way his soul reacts to my gaze, he had not committed a single sin during his imprisonment, yet not once did he do a good deed meaning he was a simple bystander throughout almost 4 weeks of being put in this cell.

"Why do you think so?" I asked as more of a gesture than curiosity.

"Well, your expression says it all hahaha... I have to say though, even though you had that kind of expression that would make any woman in the world look even slightly repulsing, on you it looked as beautiful as the lunar rays that come from that window over there" He pointed at a really small window that in reality, only a rat could fit within.

It was only then however that I had realized that this whole time I had not been wearing my mask. While this did not mean much anymore since most of the witnesses were dead anyway while the other two were good enough to keep the secret, it also meant that there was one person that could leak my true identity.

There was one problem though...

\'Wow... I really do not care that he knows huh...\' I could feel it. Not a single shred of my existence cared about the human in front of me. To someone like me, a divine being, he was more like an ant compared to me even though he was technically stronger than me as long as I am in my base.

Looking at him for a little longer as if I was trying to uncover something in him, I slowly looked away as I lost interest once again and looked towards the two girls who were currently on me. On the one hand, you had Olivia, one of the closest people to me and probably the single most important person to me on this planet other than Aroura and my father.

On the other hand, you have Yuri, someone that I had literally met once before today, yet unlike Olivia who was simply sleeping on my lap, Yuri was tightly cuddling my arm as if it was her boyfriend.

"Wow, you really tamed her? To think you would be able to tame Yuri Snow, the heiress of the Snow branch of the Raven family... Wow, look at her! She is like a child! A hero comes by for a single day and now she is cuddling her arms? Disgusti-"

Before the man could even finish his words, my could voice echoed in his ears. It was the kind of voice that would make even rose shudder in a bit of fright. Right now I was no longer restricting my natural divine aura, making Olivia and Yuri get up in alarm while the man stood up and stepped back. Before he even knew it, his back had already hit the corner of the cellar and he could not get any further away from me.

"Let me tell you right now something you should not forget for the rest of your life. The moment you lay a finger on anyone I care about, I will not only destroy your branch of the guild but I will also bring you and your entire family line all the way to your second cousins down with you... DO you understand or do I need to take a few limbs to engrain it into you?" My eyes were so cold that he could not help but shiver constantly under my gaze.

"H-Heh... You think you can-"

"I don\'t think I was being clear enough." I cut him off once again before flickering close enough to hin to whisper "My words were a threat". In the next moment, I had flickered away from him in the blink of an eye, as if I was never there, to begin with. The man could only watch as I princess carried Olivia and give Yuri a Piggyback before also flickering off again, leaving behind traces of a golden light, a golden light that would be the symbol of terror among kingdoms, races, and even continents.

"We have news!" A man with orange hair shouted at the top of his lungs. The man was wearing long robes alongside holding a staff on his left hand, immediately telling everyone that saw him that he was a mage and that there was no doubt about it.

"What is it Telimar?" A woman with pale green hair asked as she looked at the man.

"The guildmaster of the Discarded Devils guild has confirmed that the Adventurer named Lilith has single handily completed an A++ mission." The surrounding instantly became quiet as the countless people around the man had become completely speechless
