The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 186 - Day 9 II (Mass Release 5/10)



"Let us meet tomorrow atter dawn. Let us meet in front of the gates of the city and move on from there, okay?" Another voice sounded from what seemed to be a little further away, and from the constant rustling, I could guess that everyone was listening to the conversation.

"Good. I\'ll get June to pack up and We\'ll meet you tomorrow, okay?"

"June?" Zaji asked with uncertainty.

"Yeah, June... If you tell me you forgot about June I will slap you so hard when we meet" I chuckled

"No, it\'s not that... Its... Well... June is with us right now, I thought she told you that she had come here to plan out the mission..." Zaji Spoke with a voice filled with uncertainty.

\'...\'

[Pand-]

\'This fucking son of a bitch\'

[Breath in, breath out]

\'That little shit dare go behind my back

[Breath in! Breath out!]

\'And plans the whole FUCKING THING WITHOUT ME!\'

[Breath the fuck in, and breath the fuck out!]

\'What if I don\'t wanna fucking breath!\'

[Oh, well... If you are into asphyxiation I am not going to stop you...]

I could almost taste the judgment coming from Hela\'s robotic tone while her words simply took my while off guard making me calm down.

"Lilith? Are you there?" Zaji\'s worried voice entered my mind.

*"KILL HER!"*

"Yes Zaji, I am okay. Where are you guys right now? I asked with a bright smile, a smile that hid the killing intent that I felt was about to overflow out of me.

*"SHE DARES DEFY US!"*

"The same club as last time, wh-" Before Zaji could finish speaking, the crystal dimmed down and turned grey, making him raise his head and look at June and everyone else.

They were all currently either glaring at him, this choice included June, while the rest facepalmed at how he had just told them where they were even though June, the one they considered more reasonable, did not.

Back in the hotel room, I had started to dash around the apartment while putting on different clothes, from my collared shirt to my vest, and blazer/suit Jacket. At the same time, Hela was trying to calm me down.

[You should calm down before doing something stupid.]

"I am calm" I roared in contrast to the words I had just spoken.

*"Kill her"*

[You are not calm, and you are being unreasonable.]

"UNREASONABLE!" I paused mid-air. Now that I was no longer a blur bouncing around the room, if one was here to see my face, they would be able to feel the anger emanating from it.

*"She deserves death"*

[Yes! June has every right to go out with them and speak about the plan without you being there. She is technically the captain of your two-man team and she is also considered the stronger one out of the two of you. She has much more experience than you when it comes to missions, while at the same time, she has every right to consider you a nuisance after the shit you pulled last time!]

Listening to what Hela had to say, I slowly hovered back to the floor with a frown still visible on my face.

*"Give her to those animalistic barbarians!"*

\'If you remember correctly, you were the one who told me to swindle for more, right?\' I spoke calmly before breathing in and out once again.

[Yes, I told you to swindle your way to 40-45%, I didn\'t tell you to threaten him with the life of everyone around him and to use his fears against him]

\'So you agree that I was being immoral?\' I was about to snap

*"RAPE HER UNTIL SHE BREAKS*"

[No, did you lose brain cells or something? I am saying is that June has the right to not have to tell you everything she does. When you said those things to their leader, you knew she could hear you and you know that she would not like what she was hearing. And to top it off, you made her feel insignificant which for her, gave her even more reason to not let you into the plan until it is too late for it to be changed. Do you understand?]

Even though I was still pissed off, I wasn\'t stupid. I simply sighed and decided to not make a ruckus for them, but I did not stop changing into my guild uniform.

[Are you still going to go?]

\'No\' I replied simply

[Then why are you still changing?] 

\'Because I have something to do...\'

[You know I can read your mind, right?]

\'Then why ask?\'

[Feels more natural too. It is a bit like when you ask a question to see how a person will respond even though you already know the answer]

I did not say anything else and instead, I walked towards the window where I had placed my mask before putting it on. Right after, I walked towards the wardrobe where I had placed both my katanas and the belt that held them both before putting them on.

"How hard do you think it will be..."

[That\'s what she said]

\'...\'

[...]

"Pft, HAHAHAHAHA" I started laughing uncontrollably, making the tense atmosphere dissolve like salt in water

After laughing for a bit, I wiped the tears that had come out while I was laughing before speaking with a much more jovial tone of voice "That really caught me off guard. I didn\'t even know you had a sense of human, even though your sense of humor is slightly outdated."

[My sense of humor had come from you, so if anything, you are the one with a bad sense of humor]

"Ouch" I chuckled out loud.

After laughing and speaking with Hela for a bit, I put my katanas on my belt before leaving my hotel room. After leaving my room, I slowly walked downstairs, checked out, and left the hotel lobby.

The sun was already setting in the distance, making it so when I looked at it, I automatically started to reminisce about everything that good that had ever happened to me, not that there were many. Yet, for a single moment, the image of a mother carrying a little boy in her arms flashed in my mind. The scene was beautiful, a scene that would make a depressed man smile with warmth.

I quickly shut my eyes the moment I had seen it as I had already started to feel something warm filling my eyes almost to the brink of flooding.. However, I held it in before jumping up one of the taller buildings and dashing towards the outer gate of the city.
