Ascension Of The Nephilim

Kyros had jumped from one portal to the other. After sending the team out, he gave orders for the next stages of the plan and moved out.

The massive arrow was a subtle trick. It allowed the enemies to quickly move and follow a path that Kyros had already known.

During the accelerated time inside the Temple, Kyros studied the land's topography and began to plot where his trap would be prepared. Since Kyros knew the route of the enemy as they created a massive arrow pointing at the Temple's position, Kyros had moved in the position in advance and used his knowledge to create the teleportation circles around the place.

His mastery in magic as he studied the Celestial Code and followed the foundation of magic teachings taught by the Temple and derived by the Emberdons made Kyros a master spellcaster.

While he cannot create powerful attacks on a Champion level, he could cast complex spells such as teleportation.

The forces of Heralcus spread out, and Heralcus himself flew to the heavens and began to use his dark power to sense the formation circle.

"Alright... Time for another distraction!" Kyros then ordered his minions that were scattered throughout the place.

Suddenly, the bushes at the side rustled, and a Champion saw it. Without hesitation, the Champion orc charged and made a powerful slashing attack, and his ax was powered by immense force energy.

BOOM!

"Die!" The Champion roared again as a figure escaped the first attack.

The whole armies watched in anticipation as the Champion managed to cleave a figure into two.

A Shadow ghoul could be seen disintegrating into nothingness at the strange Force power of the Champion that had death energy.

"It's not him!" The Champion cursed.

Suddenly, several rustles could be heard, and the soldiers began to check it all one after the other.

Heralcus ignored all of the rustling sounds and concentrated.

"AH!" Suddenly, a Champion cried in pain, and Heralcus immediately rushed towards that area.

"Chance!" Kyros was waiting for this and flew.

He did not use his wings to fly, making him look large. But Kyros used wind magic to fly.

Everyone was distracted, and no one noticed Kyros flying.

He flew so low that he was barely at the height of the knees of the soldiers. But with his high dexterity, Kyros managed to fly through the gaps and reached the deep parts of one of the squadrons of the army.

"[Skotos Eis Phos]!"

BOOM!

A powerful burst of Light and Brimstone blasted out on the backside of the army.

The training of Kyros in wielding magic and his meditation of the Celestial Code allowed him to wield the power of light in a stronger form and even mixed the Elements he had with the Earth Core.

The attack killed a few Champions who were too slow to deploy their attacks. The purging power of the light was just too much for these Dark Dependent Champions.

The explosion shocked everyone. They were expecting a beam and did not expect Kyros to appear in the middle of the army.

"It's him!" Qara shouted.

"You guys need to focus. Each kill I make allows me to restore magic and force in me. In terms of cost, I already have received more energy than all my previous attacks combined." Kyros laughed.

Shellcross ran towards Kyros as he was the one nearest to him.

"Die!" Shellcross roared.

"Stupid crab! I killed the Grendelor and the Skeleton with Holy Beam! Feel my wrath!" Kyros shouted.

[Deception activated.]

Kyros raised his arms, and radiant energy gathered.

Seeing the attack, Shellcross gathered as much energy as possible to defend against it.

A massive, thick shield wall appeared in front of Shellcross as he stopped to attack.

But suddenly, Kyros changed the direction of his aim and targeted Heralcus and Qara, who were flying as fast as they could.

A beam of light erupted out, and the two quickly swerved and avoided the attack.

"[Kitty Cat Beam]!"

A weak amount of light energy, barely at the level of a Captain level [Holy Bolt], flew out.

The speed of the attack wasn't fast. But everyone was so on guard that they watched as the slow beam flew out and disappeared into nothingness.

"Just kidding! You guys are too scared of my attack! That's your weakness!" Kyros laughed, and his sword had finished creating another Energy Formation Circle below him.

Lightning energy appeared, and Kyros was suddenly sucked into the circle.

FLASH!

Kyros vanished once more.

Everyone had frozen and prepared their shields. And because of that, Kyros disappeared right under their grasps.

"Son of a fragmenting motherless ghost!" Heralcus cursed and roared, and his force and soul energy exploded out.

It wasn't only him. The angry roars of the army echoed out of the land.

Qara raged and flew all over the mountain, creating shockwaves as she passed.

Shellcross angrily stomped the ground as he was deceived.

Kyros appeared under a pile of stones that he had caused to collapse. There was a small space inside this place, and Kyros was watching the scene play out through the cleft of the rock.

He was snickering as he watched the people shout at the sky.

"I haven't seen people screaming at the sky like that since Trump was elected." Calaminus enjoyed the scene.

Several trees, shrubs, and rocks began to fall as Kyros ordered his shadow ghouls to run around the area and tap and claw on the trees as they passed by.

People were shooting everywhere, and even Heralcus summoned a massive head to shoot beams on the mountain.

"Is that an Okto-Khefali?" Kyros asked.

"Looks like it. So that's why I felt a familiar power. He resurrected his army with that!"

"That also explains why the army of Heralcus is stronger than ever."

"What a pity. Destiny will eat his shoe in anger when we kill them all."

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Let me check with Martha. How's it going, Martha? I think I distracted the Cardinal long enough for you to get them to a position?" Kyros asked through his dark link.

"Almost there, Lord Kyros. Just keep distracting the Cardinal for another minute, and I should be in position."

"Alright. I only have a few teleportation circles left. But it should be enough to make that Cardinal forget that his other army is rushing angrily to kill you. Calaminus, ready the Holy Beam. We need to kill two Commanders. Be sure to spare Eredus, though. Uncle wants a rematch." Kyros chuckled.

"You got it."

Unknown to Heralcus, Martha constantly taunts the armies as they chase after her.

Heralcus had forgotten to communicate with Eredus again as Kyros's tricks vexed him.

And the army was also vexed by Martha's taunts. The speed of Martha was faster, and her increased mastery of Space magic allowed him to move faster.

"I have [De-Sppacito], you know. What do you guys have?" Martha chuckled.

Lucas roared and erupted in force energy. Faust used massive magic that locked the space around Martha to prevent her from teleporting.

BOOM!

Lucas punched out, and the figure of Martha dissipated into dark energy

"A clone?!"

"What a waste. Do you guys have enhanced magic recovery? I hope you do. At this rate, you guys will be exhausted by the time we reach the Temple."

You dare to fight me?!" Lucas challenged.

"Fine then! Let's fight! Puff, come out! Let's show them our power!"

Martha raised her hand, and a portal opened, and a massive Wyrm appeared.

It was opening its mouth, and dark energy was gathering on its mouth.

"Puff, take care of the Grendelor and the Skeleton. I shall fight with that vampire and avenge my husband!" Martha's activated her dragonic form and flew high.

Puff channeled the energy, and both Lucas and Faust stood side-by-side and prepared to meet Puff's attack. However, they took no chances, and their Champions stood beside them and released several defensive spells and techniques.

"X marks the spot! You fools have reached your final destination! Die!" Martha laughed.

Suddenly, Puff shrank with incredibility speed and reverted to his small dog-sized form.

The portal behind him also vanished, and what could be seen as a bright light that the enemies never noticed.

"That!" Lucas and Faust recalled the first time they were attacked with this attack. It was the Temple's powerful beam.

BOOM!
