The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 322 Comprehensions

"You know... If you submit, I wouldn't mind making you my pet." I smiled behind my mask.

"In your dreams!" she thundered back before charging at me with all her power and rage to fuel her ferocious attacks.

30 minutes earlier.

I had found myself accompanied by Scar in what looked like a mind field where a single step could decapitate one's head.

"What should we do?" Asked Scar, now not too sure about his decision of leaving his master and joining me on my expedition.

"You do know I have mana-soul eyes, right?" I asked him with a little bit of disbelief in my voice.

When Scar had heard my reply, he seemed to have looked down in disappointment and shame, probably at his stupidity.

'How hard can it be to remember things about other people? I am almost convinced that everyone on planet Solaris just has a form of crippling amnesia that just forces them to be so forgetful' I inwardly sneered

[Ironic]

'I know right?! Ever since I had come to this world I can't remember anyone's name. It seems that everyone else has their own problems so mine seems quite tame' I chuckled lightly before looking towards the large lion to my side.

"Can I ride you?"

[That's what she said]

"No" Scar replied, almost immediately as he got up from his sulking position and looked straight ahead, making me also look ahead with confusion.

'What is he looking at?'

[Shhhh! It looks like he recreating a scene from that movie, what was it called? Oh yeah, The lion king, right?]

'Pft hahahaha'

Without thinking about what I was doing, I simply walked forwards.

At the same moment, I saw a scene flash before my eyes causing me to quickly create an air platform under my foot and therefore stopping me from touching the pressure plate I was about to step on.

"That was close." I muttered out loud while the lion began to look at me with the same expression of doubt and worry resurfacing within him.

"Oh look" I pointed at one of the pressure plates that should have been hidden.

"What is it?" Asked the lion, yet even though he looked intrigued, it did not seem like he was trustful of me, or trustful enough to just follow me without thinking about the consequences.

"Well, the people who came here before us must have had quite the mana master for them to be capable of creating runes like these." I replied before touching my chin and thinking for a bit

[They are quite intricate. I hope you make the right decision when you meet them though...]

'What do you mean?'

[Knowing you, you will probably kill them right off the bat. What I am trying to say is that there is a way you can get past everything without having to kill any one of the three]

'Actually, there is a chance there might be more than three' I looked at all the traps that lit up with a glow only those with mana eyes could see.

The runes were created so that not even someone with an extremely powerful mana detection could feel them, yet at the same time anyone with even a single shred of mana eyes, or its weaker/developing versions of the mana eyes would be capable of seeing the runes without any problems occurring.

"Alright lion boy, let's move." I smirked and began to hop from one place to another, quickly placing a few lights out of the light element on places where the lion would be able to walk.

Eventually, I found myself almost a kilometer away from the starting position while the lion was only 400 meters away from it.

[Please select your reward]

A robotic voice entered my head, yet instead of it being similar to Hela's, it felt lifeless which was probably because Hela acted a lot more like a human being than the robotic voice.

The other thing was that Hela had more of a female lively robotic voice like the ones you would hear on the new-gen GPS's.

When looking in front of me, I could see three items in front of me, yet for some reason, I felt a strangle pull towards a dark trumpet-like shell.

Without thinking about it much, I grabbed the trumpet and threw it into my dimensional amulet before looking back at Scar who had gotten much closer to receiving his reward before eventually reaching me and choosing his reward while checking every single one of them.

Seeing this, I looked forwards yet for some reason, I could see that nothing was wrong with the area in the next few kilometers, making me shrug with a suspicious narrowness of the eyes.

When Scar had finally caught up, I took a glance at him and asked "Do you feel like anything wrong with the next few kilometers ahead of us?"

After asking the question, Scar instinctually checked the area as far as he could see but even after checking for almost half a kilometer, he could not see anything wrong.

"Wait... Next few kilometers?" he looked back at me with a confused expression, yet my expression showed that I was no longer listening to anything he was saying.

Deep in thought, I chose to look through the area again with my divine eyes being used to the maximum, and only then did I realize what was happening.

"Why would the mana lessen?" I asked myself out loud, yet even though Scar had heard what I had said, he still did not know the answer to my question and therefore chose to stay silent.

[Well, if there is no mana around, their mana awareness is likely to drop significantly. As you can see, the mana in the area when going forward is decreasing at a rate wherein 3 kilometers, there should be no mana in the area. This forces people to use soul energy or arcane magic, something you have thankfully mastered by now.]

Listening to Hela's explanation, I looked in the direction of our destination for a bit before finally deciding to move, yet instead of taking caution like others would have done, I used my full speed, a speed beyond anything scar could muster the way he currently was.

I didn't have any of my armor on so it wasn't the fastest I could go, but it was still all I could muster with the armor being off.

Scar also tried to follow me, but he quickly found himself behind me due to his speed, and eventually, his speed began to drop further when the mana in the area had dropped due to his body technique forcing him to use the mana around him to power his body to move past its limit.

I on the other hand did not complain, moving almost 5 kilometers in a little more than half a minute.

When I had finally reached the end of it, I was immediately thrown into another room where I was faced with three different weapons in front of me which I was told by the robotic voice that I could choose from.

'Hela'

[Yo~]

'What weapon do you think Rose would like?' I asked

[...]

'What?'

[Rose smashed you into a wall and told you that you meant nothing to her. Hell! You even understood what she was saying and you still want to get her a gift!]

When hearing what Hela had to say, my face scrunched up at the memory but I quickly retorted-

'She just wanted to preserve her image in public'

[Well, if she wants to preserve her image in public by shaming you, then you don't deserve her. You have another girl heads over heels for you and you still choose to go for the one who basically told you that she couldn't care less about you? Are you insane?]

'...'

Choosing to stay quiet, I simply tightened my fist and looked forward, three weapons appearing in front of me.

'Gauntlets, a sword, and a spear... Gauntlets would suit her with her blood abilities, right?'

[Sigh... Don't say I didn't warn you]

Acting as if I couldn't hear Hela, I moved in and grabbed the gauntlets before throwing them into my dimensional amulet alongside the trumpet/horn from before.

After doing so, I walked over to the next room just to see Scar enter the same room as me, yet instead of waiting, I went straight to the next room without really looking back.

When entering that room, I found myself in front of a couple of gates, as if I had been thrown into a gladiator's arena waiting for my opponents to come out and fight me.

[The first wave shall now comence]

In the same instant, all the gates around me dropped and 5 dog-sized squirrel-like creatures came out and lunged at me without a speck of hesitation.

'Confident much?' I thought before clenching my fist

*BOOM*

I had realized that the mana in the area was almost non-existent but for some reason, I felt as if another sense had unlocked deep within me.

'What is this...'

After clenching my fist, I felt a spar within my mana, and instantly, all 5 of the creatures had been engulfed in flames, yet instead of being red, orange, or even blue, these flames were created from a bright gold while releasing an abnormal amount of heat, almost comparable to a miniature sun.
