The Rise Of Calamity

"Well, technically no. I was given off by the elders of my tribe to the humans as a cub. Eventually, I become Croloe's 'tamed' beast and he had decided to take good care of me therefore I did not reject or resist the soul contract when it came."

"Really? And you still choose to keep their secret?" I asked, this time perplexed by his loyalty to them even after basically selling him off to the humans without reason.

"Yes. Please do not ask me about it anymore because the answer will remain the same. If you have anything else you want to ask me, you can do so but just make sure that it isn't about the topic of body arts." Hearing this, I reluctantly moved away from the lion as if I was promising to not talk about the same subject again

However, it seemed like I did not have to say anything further as I felt something move around 350 meters ahead of us alongside the sound of a heartbeat coming from the same direction.

It seemed that the lion had heard it too, causing him to shoot upwards and land on a branch up top while looking down in the same direction as me.

"Why are we stopping?" Layla spoke a little too loud causing me and the lion to look at her like we wanted to kill her while Croloe just simply told her to shush and stay quiet since he could also feel it through his shared senses with the lion.

[It's quite big...]

'That's what she said.'

[This isn't a time to joke around. That thing could probably kill Croloe if he was on his own pretty efficiently and could probably fight toe to toe with the wyvern you had fought a few months ago.]

'Okay! I know! I'll get serious' I thought with a chuckle before actually focusing on the target.

'Remember that improved version of the sniper bullet I had thought of a few months ago?'

[Yes?]

'You think it will work here?'

[That was completely theoretical. There is no way that you can just make it wor-... Your not listening are you]

Not replying, I aimed my index finger at the beast far away and shut on eyes to make sure I could see everything correctly, even though it was not needed since I had divine eyes and 360-degree vision.

After looking in the same direction for a bit longer, I retracted my hand and moved them back forwards, however, this time I was holding something made out of pure mana making it have a pure and golden color.

[You don't even know if those blueprints you found on earth were correct! They might have been completely made up! What kind of person just leaves a 'how to make a sniper from scratch' manual on the internet?]

'I don't know!? But I have a good feeling about this

[YOUR FEELINGS DON'T MATTER! WHAT HAPPENS IF IT GOES WRONG!?]

'It won't though' I chuckled as the final few segments of the golden sniper were finally manifested.

Of course, I had done a few tweaks here and there, but that was mainly due to the fact that the sniper was no longer shooting out metal but instead mana bullets that I could manifest on the go.

"What's that?" Croloe asked, shocked by the detail behind the weapon alongside how much mana control I must've had to create something that complicated. Of course, there might have been no runes on it that would have made the temporary weapon even stronger than it originally was, but the creation alongside the tweaks had already made it much stronger than any of the sniper bullets that I could have manifested and shot before today which I saw as a huge step.

With no need for a scope or gun power, I saw basically set and the only thing I now needed to do was push down the trigger, activate and ignite an exploding flame behind the scenes bullet I would shoot before catapulting it through the air and into the skull of whatever monster I saw.

*BANG*

The sound of a mana bullet leaving the chamber rang out in the forest while the sound of a bullet made out of pure mana whistled through the air as it moved toward the intended target left a golden trail for a split second before disappearing and being replaced with the screech of a monster that only lasted for a couple of seconds.

From what I could see, the monster looked like a mantis twice the size of a normal human felt the bullet coming towards it at the last second, allowing it to give a screech before its head was finally blown into smithereens.

'What the fuck' all three of my spectators thought at the same time, yet even though I could perceive their shock from their soul flames alone, I had chosen to ignore them with the biggest smug smile stretching across my face as I asked Hela...

'So, what do you think?'

[Reckless]

'But cool?'

[Reckless and now there are around 8 different monsters coming towards the area they had heard a huge bang go off as well as towards the monster that had just died. I suggest you move as fast as possible if you don't want to be swarmed.]

'Ah crap'

"L-lets move!" I stuttered as I dashed towards the south, a place that happened to have a seemingly large temple-like building with enormous mana fluctuations coming off it.

[Your welcome] Hela sneered while I simply chuckled as countless monsters moved towards where we last stood.

Some had chosen to come towards us as it seemed like we were feeling from the scene and therefore easy prey, but the instant they had gotten too close they would be immediately destroyed by either me or the lion without hesitation.

"Hey, you two. There is actually a temple up ahead. few humans there but we should be fine for now" I said causing me to receive two nods.

'Temple huh... Let's see what you have for us shall we' I chuckled
