The Rise Of Calamity

'I could try to put the corpse into my storage space... but at the same time, I would need multiple storage rings to do that...' I frowned deeply as I used my mind-influx to its full capacity.

Since everything in my body had been given a dramatic power boost, I was able to use things like Mind-influx to a much higher level. Other than the initial increases to my physical power, my magical power that had increased my base magical power 5 folds, and my mental fortitude that had increased by leaps and bounds.

Other than that, my soul had also had a lot of the unpurified soul energy inside me forcefully purified by the inheritance energy. This not only increased my physical abilities but also my mental strength and my control over the elements and mana in general.

All I needed now was a way to manipulate and control my soul energy to either cultivate it alongside my body or to use it as a battle aura to fight against opponents and use it as a weapon or even a deterrence as the mere pressure alone would be able to make everyone weaker than I feel as if they were suffocating. This is of course due to me having a divine soul accompanied with divine mana, both things that I do not even need to release for them to automatically let out a bit of pressure around me.

'Ugh... I can't think of anything... I wish Hela was here, she would have to know what to say I rubbed the bridge of my nose in annoyance. It was only then that I felt the ever-growing magical aura expanding and simultaneously thinning as it released a blood-red crimson light.

I could not actually see whatever was making this little light show, but after looking at the direction of the epicenter and squinting my eyes, I could finally see it.

1600 meters away stood a figure wearing a black and white suit. Her clothes were bloodied and even slightly destroyed due to the battles she had before coming here, yet not a single scratch could be seen on her body.

His luscious figure stood in thin air with shut eyes while a blood-red magical aura expanded out of her body. For a single second, one would be able to see the silhouette of her curves as the crimson magical aura touched her clothes and illuminated her body from the inside, yet in reality, no one saw it due to either how quickly it occurred or due to the fact she was in the middle of nowhere.

Her long coat flapped violently due to the wind around it, yet when the aura expanded around her, it was as if the entire area had submitted before agreeing to never touch her again.

As the winds slowly calmed down, the figure opened her eyes while a single drop of cold sweat went down her forehead, brow, and into her eyes, yet not for a single second did she flinch due to this.

As she looked forwards, what greeted her were a pair of enormous illusory golden eyes in which their irises had a 3-dimension star of David that continuously spun around a miniature pupil.

"What the hell?!" Rose could not help but exclaim as a feeling of danger enveloped her for a single second before shattering as if it was some kind of illusion.

In the next instant, the pair of eyes shut and disappeared as if they were never there.

After a few seconds, a feeling of coldness made her glance towards the sound before creating a blood-red barrier out of the blood that instantly froze like water in space. Rose looked at the blood barrier with hints of confusion, but a few seconds later she snapped her fingers and converted the blood back to its original state before absorbing it into her hand again.

She then looked towards the direction that the beam had come from and finally realized what had happened.

***

As I watched Rose put up a blood barrier to block my attack, I could not help but think about how beautiful she looked today.

While many things today have seemed to become insignificant to me for reasons unknown to me, things I deemed as secondary before have started to plague my mind almost all the time now.

'Am I become a degenerate...' I mused inwardly

After making eye contact with the beautiful woman almost 1600 meters away, I smiled warmly while gesturing to her to come over. Immediately, she flickered with red light and dashed towards my direction, appearing in front of me a few moments later as I looked back towards the corpse of the wyvern on the ground.

"Yo, Rose... You're looking good today" I smiled warmly.

"..." Rose did not reply

"Silent treatment huh... Come on, you can't be that angry with me, right?" I looked away from the corpse and started to walk back towards her.

I could feel her glaring at me with so much ferocity that if looks could kill, I would have become a bloody paste on the grounds of these barren lands.

"Rose?" I muttered before tilting my head to the right a little.

"What happened to you?" She finally opened her mouth, yet to me, it looked like she opened her mouth, let out air, and closed her mouth again. Even though I found the question meaningless and a waste of time to answer, humans usually liked to waste time so I played along for her sake.

"Saw this big lizard and beat it up... Why?" I looked back with a smile.

This time, my smile was as warm as the sunset and as beautiful as an angel's. It was not pure, actually, it was very far from being a pure smile, yet for some reason Rose felt a warm feeling spread out from her heart the moment she saw that smile, making her heart thump a little harder while her ears became red.

"Rose?" I narrowed my eyes and touched her forehead "Are you okay? You seem to be spacing out a little"

The moment my hand made contact with her forehead, her entire face became slightly flushed before she slapped my hand away and quickly maintained her cold temperament.

"So you are trying to tell me you, all by yourself, killed this wyvern?" She walked towards the wyvern with quickened steps.

Seeing this, I shrugged and looked at her curvy behind, which of course due to her being so strong, felt my gaze land upon her ass.

She did not react to it at the moment and changed my line of view to the corpse of the wyvern by pointing at a hole in its chest.

"You took the dragon heart?" She looked at me with curiosity

"Yeah, why?" I started looking around at other things in the barren land out of boredom.. Since I could not look at her ass, I needed other things to keep me entertained.
