The Rise Of Calamity

"With the power of god and the oceans, the skies, and the earth, the divine and the mortal, I ask thee to drop the mightiest of mighty, the strongest of strong, and the lightnings of thunder. Destroyer of worlds, I ask for one thing..."

The stone of her neck began to glow after the second charge was finally ready.

"Divine retribution" She muttered

Dozens if not hundreds of different runes began to light up in the dim abyssal sky, a sky without a single ray of light penetrating through its clouds. A sky so deprived of light that the only visibility came to form the sparks of battle, the emanating of auras, and the constant rumbling of lightning forming within the clouds themselves as well as the runes and arrays alongside them.

"Such power" a woman who was fighting a wind wolf could not help but mutter as she took several steps back from each hit she was forced to block with her sword.

In the next instant and to everyone\'s surprise, 7 lightning bolts came down and crashed upon the 7 different beasts that were not preoccupied with fighting with Throid, Alan, or Gold.

*ROAR*

*ROAR*

*ROAR*

*ROAR*

*ROAR*

*ROAR*

*ROAR*

7 different roars resounded out in the area, the loudest and most destructive one coming from the oversized ape with golden fur and a broad chest that it had kept drumming in an intimidating manner as if its chest had the words \'drum of death\' written over it.

One could say that the drumming of the chest was another form of boss music that would warn you to not go in that particular direction, but I am sure that I was the only person who would ever think of that situation that way.

*ROOOOOOAAAAR* 

The golden furred gorilla let out an even louder roar than before, causing every being that heard it to stop their fighting and freeze in their places.

Its roar was literally like a dragon roar, a roar so powerful that it would cause any creature from a race deemed as below it to freeze in their places, frozen in fear, unable to move a single muscle no matter how much they begged their bodies to move.

\'This is bad\' Xela thought while trying to move to the best of her abilities, yet contrary to her expectations, she was able to move a lot easier compare to everyone else, including them beasts themselves who had a much lesser effect when it came to beast roars like the golden gorillas.

\'I still have some of the god energy that I had charged up for the last attack still stored up so I can use one more spell infused with the energy. I can only pray that this thing falls after I hit it this time, or I do not know what I would do.

Yet, while Xela was thinking this, the gorilla did not stand idle, waiting for another shot to be directed at him. Instead, the gorilla moved quickly to the right before flickering to the left, moving at an extremely high speed despite his size.

The next moment, the gorilla had already thrust its elbow back, getting ready to let go and hit someone with the finishing blow.

Golden energy, similar to mine yet thousands of times less divine and hundreds of times deficient in quality, coated the first it was about to use to punch forwards.

Not even a second later, the first had completely disappeared from its place and had been thrust forwards causing the ground to crack at the gorilla had twisted its whole body to get the maximum output out of this punch.

A golden fist-force beam of light ripped through the air and enclosed it upon Xela\'s location.

Simultaneously. Xela had stepped forwards while continuously weaving a spell with a mixture of hand signs and chanting random words and putting them in the same sentence. After that, she used a proper sentence and then went back to muttering before. finally being ready to blast the spell towards the direction of the gorilla.

"Take this you monkey!" her voice thundered like the crackling lightning descending from the sky.

In the next second, a golden spear made out of ice manifested in front of her out of thin air, this time much faster than the last time she had manifested a golden spear.

The speed was not the only thing that had improved, as not only was the spear creation extremely quick, the power/energy behind it as well as its size had almost multiplied by 5

She was using all her mana within the attack...

On the other side of the battle, Clara was looking towards Xela with a weird glint in her eyes. no one would be able to accurately tell what her emotions were. If they were jealousy for Xela being a mage and so much better than her, or fervor and excitement, as she had looked up to Xela this whole time and was happy and even prideful that the same person that she had looked up to was able to form such a powerful spell.

With a tap of her staff on the floor, she had retracted all the buffs that she had given out and instantly targeted Xela with all of them before activating her trump card.

\'Activate: Virtue of Charity\' She thought, finally allowing a huge white glow to envelop her entire being before also targeting Xela, shooting towards her like a rocket waiting to shoot all its power within her.

\'You better win this\' She smiled before collapsing on the ground, covered in nothing but sweat-drenched clothes and just sweat in general.

Xela had immediately felt the overwhelming power enter her, causing her to smile subconsciously and look in the direction of Clara.

\'I won\'t let you down!\'

"Divine Astral Ice: Astral Spear"

She muttered under her breath. In the next moment, everyone and the gorilla could only watch as countless stars formed out of specks of mana formed around Xela before becoming a vortex and enveloping or injecting the spear with even more power than before. 

The spear was no longer your plain and simple golden ice spear, but instead, now it was made with ice that seemed to hold the entire cosmos within it. Ice that held stars radiated with so much power that it felt like they could have annihilated the entire planet with a single flare of theirs.

The power that the spear held was almost as immeasurable as the deepness of space itself

yet who could have known that their opponent would have been even stronger than any of them could have imagined even after seeing the power of the astral divivine spear
