Ascension of the Nephilim

The Champion next to Kyros watched as Kyros wielded power. The Energy Conversion Circle was used to pour in energy that could be used to activate the heat in the cauldron, send freezing energy to cool down an item or infuse elements in it. 

The Circle gave energy to several basic cores of Fire, Wind, Ice, Lightning, and Earth. Each Core was a core that the lizards have acquired from various monstrous beasts that could cultivate and has a core.

Kyros was drawing energy from the Earth Core and was absorbing it. He didn't need to but could have just shot a holy bolt attack, but he needed to put on a show and convince everyone that the power he wielded was from the Operating Table and not from his own body.

The Champions were amazed as they had only seen an application like this in the frontlines whenever they would be called to battle a monstrous beast invasion. Some of the stronger kingdoms would deploy energy conversion circle experts, and various mages and force experts would use that circle to create massive attacks. But the application of that mysterious magic was something so distant to them that even the alchemist Champion had no dreams of doing that!

And yet, that amazing scene appeared before him.

"Amazing..." Champion Middle Claw was amazed at what he saw.

"Expert..." Commander Komodo exclaimed at what he saw. This boy was not a priest or someone who had specific holy classes. The element that this boy naturally revealed was Dark Element. And yet, he managed to shoot a beam of pure, holy power!

The nearby captains who observed the scene could not help but feel a trace of fear. That was an attack that actually damaged a Champion!

Kyros timed the attack when Reptilia would expend all her powers in the wild and angry attack. There was a gap where Reptilia needed to recover and gather her force energy again, and this was the timing that Kyros chose.

But even though Kyros made a sneak attack, the Captains and even the Commander did not question it. No low-leveled warrior could ever dream of harming a Champion!

Kyros was not even a level fifteen cultivator, and he already made such a powerful attack! Everyone respected Kyros because of this.

"Wow. That was amazing. You mixed Holy and Dark!" Calaminus praised.

"Yeah. I'm getting the hang of this Mysterion thing. That darkness is going to affect her soon. Her pride will not allow her to admit that there is something strange in her body. But since I'm going to make her drain all her force energy, she won't have any strength left to struggle when we steal her." Kyros schemed.

Reptilia was the one who was most shocked. That attack was so pure and created a strange stiffing sensation around her.

"Get up here. I purged all Yang energy in you! Now your force energy will do." Kyros harrumphed. But the truth was, he was lying. 

The Energy Conversion Circle did have issues with clumps of energy forming. The only way to remove or corrode these clumps was through Holy energy. A thick light source would cause these clumps to weaken and become normal energy that won't give those sudden surges. But Kyros made up a lie and used the concept of Yin-Yang as a cover. Of course, the real reason Kyros said this was to get Champion Reptilia to pour out her force energy and further weakening her.

Reptilia still wore an ugly expression, but everyone was looking at her. Those who had honorable positions, whether in their cultivation or in their rank and expertise, had pleading eyes.

Reptilia gritted her teeth. The young boy forced a Champion like her to plead and follow her words.

She slowly made her way towards the Operating Table.

"Hrm? Oh. What luck! She has the Warrior's Instinct just like uncle Aron! But... hers feel very, very weak. I hope that improves when she becomes a Dhampir." Kyros mused.

Reptilia stood next to Kyros with a stoic expression.

She placed her hand in the circle and channeled Force energy.

Kyros pretended to concentrate and sent the energy to clear the clumps inside the Energy Conversion Circle.

After that, Kyros smiled to reveal that the 'operation' of fixing the circle was successful.

"Alright. Time to start! I want you two to start pouring energy in this thing. Let's get it started!" Kyros cheered.

"Yes, Master Alchemist!" Champion Middle Claw spoke.

The two began to touch on the circle energy and channeled it.

The numerous cores at the side began to light up.

Kyros waited but could not help but sigh at how pitiful these mortals were. They needed an Energy Conversion Magic to refuel the energy of the monster cores.

"So useless. Those cores can't even be used in battle like the cores I have. And here I thought I could take them. I guess I'll leave it there since they are more useful here..." Kyros sighed.

"Your elemental cores are nothing compared to these monster cores that need a specific frequency of energy to be charged. Those cores you got and the Golem cores are both saint-level! Any cultivator that wants to be a god would sell their family for those! The cores that you have are much more powerful and have the ability to Convert any magic energy fed to them. But these need conversion circles..."

"Well, at least with these items they gave me, I could take a few of them so I can create a glove with Energy Conversion Circles that will allow my team to feed Force Energy on those cores..." Kyros planned.

"How are you going to take advantage of these items? Your Inventory and storage space isn't working since the Temple became dormant. You still have two days for the Temple to awaken."

"I already taught of it. I will be asking them if they want me to create pills and artifacts. That way, I can bring a lot of these amazing things."

"How do you plan to escape anyway?" Calaminus wondered.

"I'm preparing a Nerve Numbing Paralysis bomb, a Drain Magic Fog, and a Force Inhibiting Poison bomb using earth-type monster poison.." Kyros answered.

"Nice. One is to make their bodies paralyze, another is to ensure no magic casters can do anything, and other targets force users. And you plan to use elemental earth monsters so that the effects are more potent for Reptilia, which has Entropy elements. Brilliant! But let's see if you can do it. You got all the theories from me, but the practical application of actually doing alchemy is different! You read how to swim. Let's see you swim!"

"Calaminus... I have Foresight and Molding, remember?"

"So? Does it help?"

"Of course it does! Why do you think I was confident in making these items? Whatever I can lack in skill, I can make up through instinct and timing. Molding isn't just about building a team too! It refers to Creation! I am even convinced that I could brew powerful alchemy weapons than some masters of the trade." Kyros smiled and began to move his hands to get the needed ingredients to prepare the bombs for the escape.
