Calamity Upon This World

"Fuck," William muttered.

Finally calming himself down after a few seconds, he started thinking about plans for a few seconds before finally having an idea.

'Spirits, go check up on all the names I'm giving you. These are all the kids in this party who have a Tier IV aspect according to the public'

Since Jack was fine, he assumed that laughing coffins were only targeting kids with Tier IV aspects.

While the spirits went to check on the kids, he'd go and search for Rex or some other capable adult, as this issue is clearly out of his league.

He isn't strong enough to detect sub-dimensions, and even if he could, he couldn't be certain of being able to take down the laughing coffin member.

However, just when William was about to move  and begin his search, he was interrupted.

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

A massive, ear-shattering explosion shook the entire celebration venue, with almost all the guests being caught off guard by the sudden explosion.

All guests aside from William, almost instinctively, before he even realised what he was doing, he used wind magic to fly towards the explosion, completely disregarding any previous thoughts of finding Rex or someone else for help he had.

In just a second, William found himself in the room—or rather, the remains of the room where he previously insulted Ciara—which was also the area where female restrooms were located.

However, now only smoke and debris remained.

Unaware of what might come out once the smoke dispersed, he went all out and activated both [mana ascension] and [spirit ascension: dual spirit fire and wind], not caring about hiding his strength as most people wouldn't understand it even if they saw him.

Almost instantly following his transformation, visible Crimson mana appeared in the destroyed room, with Williams appearance now taking a drastic change as the sheer power he exuded cleaned out the smoke.

Once the smoke cleared, two figures came into view. One was a brutally beaten and bleeding blonde girl on the ground who seemed to be in critical condition.

The other, in stark contrast to the girl, was a beautiful woman who seemed to be wearing what appeared to be a lewd top and pants, only covering her privates, as well as the almost torn remains of a  brown cloak covering her body.

The woman barely looked human, as her skin had a greyish tone to it and her left arm was bleeding, but it didn't seem too fatal.

Seeing Ciara as well as the women who seemed to be responsible, the one main emotion William felt was anger.

Anger at the fact that someone dared to attack him or his peers at his own birthday party. Even in his past life, William had a pretty bad experience with assassins.

And the women in front of him made him relive some pretty bad memories; strangely enough, the assassins who were after him didn't seem to trigger his trauma, but something about the women in front of him just pissed him off.

William didn't care too much about the girl named Ciara; however, he did care about the potential implications of a laughing coffin making an appearance at his birthday party, as well as the consequences if they succeeded.

But William was far too experienced to simply lose his cool and attack the women, so he quickly calmed down as he erected a barrier around the room to prevent the women from escaping.

He was going to set an example right here and right now of what happens when someone messes with him.

'Fuck' Mela thought as she barely managed to jump back in time to survive the explosion by activating her aspect ability.

Mela was blessed with a Tier II aspect called a demon-like human.

Which allowed her to greatly enhance her combat ability and even allowed her to regenerate; she could receive an even bigger buff in stats at the cost of her mental wellbeing.

But even with her relatively powerful aspect as well as her experience, she knew her place in the hierarchy.

Now, with the sub-dimension gone, she was in the same building with multiple monsters in human skinning capable of ending her in seconds.

She might be someone crazy who just took a dangerous job at the potential prospect of bullying some rich and lucky kid, but she didn't actually want to die.

Speaking of lucky kids, Mela had to admit that she had definitely underestimated the girl named Ciara too much, which caused her current predicament.

On the bright side,it doesn't matter even if there were some slight hiccups; she just needed to grab Ciara now that she's unconscious and use an artifact her higher-ups had given her to teleport away before any of the true monsters in this establishment got to her, and once she's away, she can torture the brat responsible for current misery to her heart's content.

She wasn't really sure why her group insisted on wanting the girl alive, but she didn't really care as long as she got her share of the fun.

However, just before she could make a run for it, an overwhelming and visible crimson aura engulfed the whole room.

She didn't remember anyone worth noting who possessed such a distinct crimson mana, so out of curiosity, she turned around, and what she saw shocked her.

Floating a few feet away was a kid who could only be described as majestic.

The boy had a majestic dual-coloured crown on his head made up of bright orange and bright teal colour, respectively.

On his back were too-wing-like objects of the same colour.

And he was donning a royal-like orange and teal robe with eyes that shone of the same colour.

Mela was almost entranced, looking at the boy, who didn't even seem to belong to the same world as her.

She almost even forgot about her survival instincts; however, she quickly recovered her senses, and as she took a look around her, she couldn't help but notice a thick crimson barrier covering the whole room with visible mana particles of the same particles.

Which was a huge problem as such a huge disturbance in the surrounding mana would prevent her artifact from working. Another thing she noticed was that her own ability to use mana was greatly hindered.

Thankfully, it wasn't completely gone, but it was just more difficult to cast spells or use skills inside the barrier.

Upon closer inspection of the boy responsible for her current state, she soon recalled his identity.

William Verhein, the son of Rex Verhein, the current sword saint, as well as someone who awakened at the mere age of 4, and that too with a monstrous Tier IV aspect.

This boy was the perfect target for her group, due to which, just like her target Ciara, an assasin, or rather, a duo of assasins, were assigned to him.

So to now see him in front of her completely fine could only mean one thing, but still, out of curiosity, Mela asked the obvious.

"What happened to the Zaratul brothers?"

Hearing her question, the boy released a bloodlust that was almost suffocating, which, while unbelievable for someone his age to possess, wasn't enough to suppress a professional serial killer like her; however, it did intimidate her.

Finally, after a few seconds, which seemed to go on for hours for Mela, the boy opened his mouth.

"I sent both of those clowns to a very special place; coincidentally, I'll also be sending you to the same place."

"And that place is called hell."
