Ascension Of The Nephilim

"Ten... Nine... Eight... Seven..." Kyros's announcement and countdown continued.

The armies of Heralcus and even the Commanders were on guard of the attacks that Kyros would leave. It sounded true! What if Kyros's threats were made to make them take a sharp turn.

"Do not believe him! March on! He made his threats a while ago!" Heralcus shouted.

And the armies were marching on. But everyone, including the Commanders, was actually guarded.

"Six... Five... Four... Three... Two... One... Die!" Kyros shouted.

"Defend!" Neteri couldn't help but shout.

But then, nothing happened.

"Is it a trick? Is he delaying it? Why was there- No! It can't be!" Darako felt it.

"NEPHILIM!" Heralcus roared as he realized what had happened. Everyone was stunned as they heard Heralcus shout with deep hatred that Force and Magic erupted.

HOW DARE YOU!" Heralcus shouted in anger as he turned his attention to a far-off distance.

"[Skotos Eis Phos]!" This was the distraction that Kyros waited for as he charged into another platoon.

BOOM!

A bright light exploded out.

"Dual [Holy Beam]!" Two Champion-level Holy Beams were shot out as Kyros raised both hands.

Everyone was shocked as they heard Heralcus scream, and with the given lies, they believed harm had come to the Cardinal.

Kyros dove in and brought out all of his attacks.

"Maximum [Pronto]!" Kyros shouted, and a bright light began to appear on his forehead. It was an energy conversion circle, and it amplified the power of Pronto.

"[Haste]!" Kyros also used another spell that increased his agility.

BOOM! BOOM!

Qara and Shellcross charged and attacked.

But Kyros was able to dodge and flew with his wings.

Darako and Neteri appeared and used massive attacks. Two heads of the Okto-Khefali appeared and charged at Kyros to bite him.

"[Blink]!" The power of Fallen source appeared, and Kyros teleported as the two heads were about to bite.

Heralcus appeared, and a ghostly apparition of the heads of the Okto-Khefali appeared.

It readied a massive beam that was ready to launch a devastating attack at the location where Kyros appeared.

"Die! You accursed brat!" Heralcus shouted as he channeled his power to Kyros's place, nearly two kilometers away.

But suddenly, Heralcus froze.

And it wasn't just Heralcus. All the Commanders froze for a second.

Kyros had stabbed his sword on the ground, and a dark power was creating a massive energy conversion circle that crept out of the ground.

But even as Kyros did this, the enemies did not move.

BOOM!

A massive explosion occurred at the back, creating a terrifying impact that created a large crater on the ground.

Everyone in the army was thrown back at the sudden explosion. The ground they were standing in was not the same indestructible ground that withstood the attack of [Meteor Doom]. The ground was much weaker, so a trembling, the destruction of the terrain, and even rock slides occurred from the back.

"That was the same attack that Eredus received. We call it [Meteor Doom]! How do you like it?" Kyros chuckled as he made the finishing touches. The dark pattern suddenly turned to Light as Kyros used Skotos Eis Phos.

"And don't bother shooting or attacking. I'll just teleport my way out of here. I may be drained, but this lady right here has more than enough mana to send me back to the Temple." Kyros chuckled

Next to Kyros, was a beautiful woman wielding several powerful elements around her. Kyros was stroking the beautiful maiden's face, and the woman blushed at Kyros's touch.

Heralcus had glanced at the back and saw that more and more of his army had died from an unknown attack.

"You... TRAITOR!" Heralcus shouted once more. He blamed the woman. They were captivated by her for a split second, which caused him not to notice an attack headed towards his army.

"If I aimed for you, you guys would have surely blocked it. So I used that attack to kill more of your army. Let's see, including Eredus, Faust, and Lucas's... Those are their names, right? So you probably have lost more than half of your armies. Frankly, if all of you attacked, we would have incurred many losses, and even I have a high chance of dying. But now, with half your army gone, I am sure that I will win. And I'm aiming for no deaths in my army." Kyros laughed.

"YOU TRAITOR!" Heraclus shouted the same words again. His eyes were locked on Mechiel, who stood next to Kyros. There were no hints of attraction but only pure anger.

The Commanders stood next to Heralcus, and all glared at Mechiel.

Suddenly, Mechiel's innocent expression changed, and it was as if the young lady matured even more!

"Oh, shut up, you! I'm not doing this by my choice! I still serve Destiny! But this little fool has trapped me in this soul!" The Blood Calamity defended.

"But regardless, you fools failed Lord Destiny! I've seen the full power of these Kyros, and you utterly outnumbered him! You idiots! Even in this battle, he tricked you again and again!" The Blood Calamity shouted angrily.

"I am a servant of Destiny, but I cannot do anything as I am in chains! I heard their crazy plans! I heard these idiots' strange tactics! And I believed none of them would work! Don't you have Destiny's Foresight? What happened to that?! You were all drawn too much into the Nephilim's rhythm! Why did you become obsessed with his energy formation circles that you didn't sense that attack? And how the fragment did that stupid Kitty Cat plan work?! Are you idiots?!" The Blood Calamity shouted all her frustrations.

Kyros was tapping her back.

"There you go, let it all out. Release the anger."

The Blood Calamity was so mad that it tried to forcibly take control of Mechiel's body, but Mechiel's irritated expression appeared, and the mature aura of the Blood Calamity vanished.

"Behave! You're just a parasite. I think Lord Kyros's plans are awesome!" Mechiel giggled.

"Indeed it is. I didn't lie when I said I would kill your Commanders, did I?" Kyros laughed as he looked at Heralcus.

"You...! You tricked me!"

"Wow. You must be outraged, and is hurting to accuse me of tricking you. You don't say, Sherlock?" Kyros ridiculed.

"Let me tell you more of how I tricked you. I've been harassing you so that you would not communicate with the three Commanders. I knew you had Dark Link just as I have. And I was using my Taunts to lure you in. While I applaud you for keeping your wits, my taunt of Tyranus was enraging you to the point that Destiny's Foresight became blurred. If you just paused for a second and forgot the hatred, you would have known that your allies were being tricked as well. But don't worry. This will be my final deception. From here on out, no more lies. I swear." Kyros crossed his heart.

Heralcus and the Commanders were trembling in rage. But they tried to contain it and tried to sense Foresight. They then realize that they could not feel Foresight since Kyros appeared.

Suddenly, a light flashed behind Kyros.

Mezal appeared. He was wounded and bleeding, and a Feather Folk held him up.

"Oh right! Since I'm coming clean and promising a new life of no deceptions, I'll confess to another lie. I didn't use [Meteor Doom]. That spell requires the powers of the people who killed Eredus, after all. I used a real meteor this time. A Soul-Force-Magic union. As the Blood Calamity said, I made you so obsessed with the energy formation circle that when I attacked after the death of your Commanders, this Feather Folk flew my grandfather at very high heights and dropped him."

"I used an amazing power to create a massive meteor. I killed a lot of Champions too! I believe I leveled up!" Mezal approved. But as he held his thumb out, his other bones were clearly broken.

"Ah, yes. Because of the Blood Calamity's rage, you didn't notice the Feather Folk swooping down to grab my grandfather and fly him to the energy conversion circle which teleported him here. I had to trick the Blood Calamity too." Kyros chuckled.

"WHAT?! YOU BRAT!" The Blood Calamity took control of Mechiel for a split second, and then Mechiel's expression changed, and she was laughing.

"Anyway, I need to recover. But as I promised, no more lies. There are definitely no energy formation circles hidden in the paths you will surely take. There are no more ambushes and tricks, like an army suddenly appearing out of a teleportation circle and attacking you. All that I have planned for you is that second meteor coming at you! DIE!" Kyros pointed behind the Commanders and Heralcus.

The Commanders and Heralcus jumped back in fear.

There was nothing.

"Made you look!" Kyros and the three laughed.

"Goodbye for now! Try not to lose more men along the way! Not that there are traps there, just... be careful, alright guys?"

FLASH!

Kyros and the three vanished.

Seeing that four retreat, the Commanders was silent. Their morale has drastically decreased.

Heralcus fell on his knees as the realization of his utter defeat came to mind.

Neteri was the only Commander to move.

"Call all our men and make an accounting of who is still alive! And be careful of ambushes!" She ordered.. But even though she could summon an army of souls to fight for her, she felt that her own soul had left her as the painful void of defeat and shame covered her soul.
