The Rise Of Calamity

"You have finally accepted your fate human? Or should I say, divine being?" a primordial voice descended down from the skies onto me, making me shiver slightly under its pressure. However, even though it might seem terrifying at first glance, I had to make sure that I did not fall under someone\'s mere pressure. After all, I am a divine being with the sin of Pride.

"You think I gave up, Lizard?" A cruel grin tugged at the corners of my mouth.

Hearing my words, the pressure only grew heavier, yet it only felt like the pressure of someone slightly stronger than me rather than the pressure of someone who is likely in the Diamon tiers of the Peak Gaseous stage.

"HOW DARE YOU!" The humanoid-draconic shadow slowly started to morph. Its wings began to grow larger while its power began to surge more violently than before. Yet, most of its body was hidden under the shadow of the moonlight, its eyes being the only thing that shone through the shadows like beaming spheres of chaos.

To me, however, I saw a rocky dragon with moss all over its body and several leaves and branches coming out of it. At the same time, the wings were brown like mud, yet there were batches of green as if bushes were growing on them.

I would have said that this creature was probably a dragon, but one thing that made it distinct from a dragon was its wings which instead of protruding from its back, were attacked along its arms and before stretching down its torso a bit like a bat.

\'A wyvern\' I narrowed my eyes and knitted my brows.

The next instant, electricity crackled around my body the moment I saw the wyvern open its maw while particles made out of water and earth began to form in its maw with a spark of fire lighting it with flames and increasing its power.

The moment I disappeared from my spot with gritted teeth from the immense pain that surged out of my body at random intervals, I saw a laser descent down to the forest before splitting everything within sight in half with a 30-meter wide scorch mark. The scent of burned ground, grass, and wood entered my noise, subsequently making me shudder as the image of me being caught in that appeared in my mind.

"YOU CAN NOT RUN FOREVER DIVINE BEING!" It shouted 

I wanted to glare at the wanna-be dragon, but if I did, my poker face would break and the wyvern would be able to see that I was going through some pain.

\'Should I call that angel?\' I thought for a second before shaking my head. For some reason, I thought that using it now would be too much of waste compared to the things I might be able to ask for in the future, and therefore I had chosen to only call the angel if I was on the verge of death.

"You are quite powerful" I spoke with a monotone and emotionless tone and expression.

"Have you finally decided to fight then?" It repeated its previous question

"..."

"If the silence is a no..." It opened its maw allowing the same elemental particles to it and form a small energy ball that gradually grew in size the more the elemental particles entered into it. 

"Tsk" clicking my tongue, I disappeared from my location once again before a powerful beam shot right through my afterimage and left another scorching line identical to the first one. However, to the wyvern\'s surprise, this time I was much faster than before, almost to the point where it barely saw a blur go past it before a surge of slightly powerful mana came from behind it.

*Thud*

My golden energy cloaked fist crackled with both Golden-silver lighting and white sparks of flames before smashing into the rocky scales of the wyvern. However, to my surprise, the sales were much more durable than I had thought they would be, leaving a single black scorch mark that could be dusted off as easily as sand from one\'s shirt.

"Crap" I muttered almost instinctively before flashing away like a streak of lighting and appearing on a tree a few dozen meters away.

"Haha! That tickled" The wyvern snorted in disdain and mockery making my frown deepen.

\'I should go all out...\' I closed my eyes and took a short breath that was only stopped by the sharp pains going through my body.

Instantaneously, multiple colors flashed in my eyes before every energy particle in the area started to react to my mana. It felt as if my whole being trembled, however, I had already felt this twice before. Once when I awakened and once 28 days ago when I had accidentally done something I probably shouldn\'t have.

*Clang*

My katana clashed with the blade of an assassin that had attacked me. The battle had already gone on for several minutes now, and there was no clear victor yet. While the other person was strong and fast, he could not beat the power of my future sight as I would constantly use it to dodge all his attacks without fail.

However, I could not dodge all day, but the thing about him was that he was in the first tier of the gold rank, meaning he was a lot more powerful than me, even when I fight with the lighting of absolution. His speed was no joke either, allowing him to dodge whatever strike I try to throw at him no matter what it was.

As a last-ditch effort, I tried out something that Hela, also known as analysis at the time, told me to avoid using as much as possible.

\'Absolute-consumption\'

Absolute consumption was not a skill that one had passively, instead, it was a skill one would activate. However, when one would activate this skill to its full power, it would cause a huge surge in power while also giving the user a near-infinite amount of mana to use. It would make the user of the skill almost invincible, however, in cost of that power would come to a tremendous backlash.

That day, all that was left of the battle was the erasure of several dozen buildings off the face of the city, and that kind of damage was created from the use of the skill for mere seconds.
