Ascension of the Nephilim

Mezal and the Champions were using their life-consuming techniques.

Aron had failed to hold the line as bats, and the Blood Clone of the Vampire had moved, and more bats were also flying in. As the fight progressed, more and more of the bats would move inside.

And Martha was captured.

When the fight began, Destiny had decided what to do and how to find Kyros should the smallest counters of Fate begin.

But none happened, whatsoever. 

"What is this, Fate? You hid the Nephilim from my eyes, and he does not intend to save them? How foolish. If he plans to ambush the Source of Darkness, it will do him no good! Will he really sacrifice those people he loved in that timeline?" Destiny frowned.

Kyros was indeed far away from any of his loved ones in the realm of where the Fight of the Middle was happening.

As the Beings that Were had deduced, Kyros had no plans to save any of them.

Kyros was walking and had used his cloak to hide among the army of darkness. His heart was heavy as he could feel the call of Fate that was telling him that his allies would die.

And yet, Kyros did not stop but moved along towards a small mountain. But the small mountain was not really a mountain, but a massive creature. It stood over forty meters tall, and while a form of a giant could be seen inside, the whole thing was covered in a thick slime. Lightning and thunder appeared as a black orb, glowing with bright yellow light were at the center.

It looked like a massive slime made of swamp waters, and it had tentacles and was constantly harnessing a strange power that constantly created dark clouds that continued to cover the entire region.

Kyros continued to move, and as he drew closer, he began to concentrate on his power.

The formation of the massive creatures army was ready. But the strange thing was that all of the warriors were Shadow Ghouls and the Shadow Fiends' stronger form. There were even Shades in the army that acted as Champions.

"A Shade Lord." Kyros identified the rare race that Calaminus explained.

These beasts were only found in the darkest of darkness across the Universe. In the Planesworld, only the Netherworld would host these creatures. But to Kyros's knowledge, such massive and powerful form would never find its way in the Planesworld.

These beings could harness and control the darkness of the land and wield it to do mysterious things.

Kyros could tell that it was this was that created the strange creeping darkness that crept its way even into the place where the Temple.

Nearby were two powerful beings: a Skeleton and a familiar race that harnessed even more evil darkness. The creature had the form of a handsome man, but it had a long tail with a sharp blade at the end.

"A Grendelor, huh... But the main source of this creeping darkness is that Shade Lord. I stop it from doing this. The life of the darkness will stop..." Kyros began to think of a plan on how to stop them while staying alive against all three Commanders.

Looking at the size of the Shade Lord and its strange form, he knew that the strength and vitality of the Shade Lord would be similar to that of Cardinals who had Crown potential. And because of that, Kyros didn't have any hopes of wounding the enemy with his current strength.

"The most I can do with my strength, Ancient Source, Fallen Source, and Soul Force would be to reach around 200 attack power. If I harness all my light into my blade with True Cut, then it would boost up to 230. But the vitality point of that creature should be over 400... The Skeleton ought to have the weakest defense, but he surely will have a magical defense equal to over 300 points." Kyros assessed and tried to ignore the crisis warning of the deaths of his allies. The feeling grew stronger as Fate's warnings were becoming more and more clear. But Kyros shut it all up. They had decided that he would not fight together but spread out to stop the many plans of Destiny.

Despite the warnings, Kyros was determined to abandon his allies.

"And that Grendelor should have attacks that could equal that Dragon or that Crab Commander..." Kyros paused and thought. His heart began to weigh heavily as the constant warnings of death for his allies rang out.

"Please... everyone. Fulfill your promise and be victorious. Become the Challengers that you all claim to be. Subvert the calls of Destiny..." Kyros pleaded as he harnessed Ancient, Fallen, and his Soul Force into one stat as he made his decision.

As he did, the three Commanders felt it. 

"Is that the Nephilim? He's here?" The Skeleton asked.

"All Champions. Kill him!" The Grendelor frowned.

All the Champions saw the source of the strange power and attacked.

And at that moment, Kyros's figure disappeared.

It happened so fast that even the Commanders were unable to catch up.

The Champions immediately raised up their defenses to attack. But then...

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

The slower ones who were unable had their heads sliced off.

"He's faster than Wyvern Commander Qara!" The Champions cursed.

"[Destiny Gauge]." The skeleton cast the spell. A powerful ripple erupted and revealed the stats of Kyros, and the magic was quickly absorbed into the Skeleton.

The Skeleton frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"Strange. He has a power that is preventing me from seeing his true stats. He has masked certain details of his stats and replaced them with odd statements. But from the strength and speed he displayed, I think that the stat points shown should be more or less accurate." The Skeleton then revealed the stats of Kyros.

"Strange indeed. It has hidden many details. But what do you mean the stats are accurate? His strength seems a bit low to kill those champions..." The Shade Lord's voice boomed.

"No. Look! He is attacking the Champions with the weakest Vitality. I think he has a skill that helps him cross the gap. The stats on his strength should be the base stat. Your [Gauge] was able to detect it minus the hidden additions. But since he is moving at that speed, his power to hide his stats cannot fool us with his Dexterity." The Grendelor Commander assessed.

"Let's put up a shield anyway. In a few minutes, the portal directly to that Nephilim's Temple will be open. Let's just focus on that. Have all the Champions assume a defensive formation." The Skeleton Commander decided.

"Oh, it's good that I'm already here then. [Skotos Eis Phos]!" Kyros suddenly appeared in between them.

BOOM!

A massive light exploded out and attacked the magic being channeled.

Kyros immediately escaped as the attacks of the three Commanders reached.

When he attacked, he began to use dark bolts that were shot out with shadow ghouls in the bolt.

He attacked a few Champions but then rushed towards the place where the Commanders were.

The bolts and the shadow ghouls that moved out made it look like he was still attacking the Champions, but Kyros's real intention was to stop the spell. After creating a wide attack right at the center of the Commanders. The spell that they were creating was destroyed as the light destroyed the darkness.

But the power that Kyros displayed wasn't enough to wound these three Commanders.

With the dark shadow forming around him, Kyros activated Dark Shroud and zoomed towards the other end in escape. His body was breaking from the constant use of his dexterity.

"Mom. Dad. I bought you enough time. Uncle, Aunt Martha, Grandfather... Please survive and win!" Kyros spoke as he rushed and escaped with several Champions and the Grendelor Commander giving chase to him.

Deep inside the path leading to the Temple, the army of bats appeared, and the Vampire Commander hovered over the land.

He was stunned to see how near the forces of the Nephilim were.

They weren't holed up in the Temple as was reported but had already advanced. The giant creatures of Shellcross's armies were also dying at the hand of the army.

The archers shot with precision and could harness Holy through Diana and Branze, who was now taking the place of the Temple. Although the power they could create was less than half of the potency that the Temple used to create, the army now had three times the fighting skill and experience to kill the enemies before them.

The Coven was the vanguards who now deal with the bats.

"Impressive." The Vampire Commander laughed.

"To think that I would have to use the full extent of my Blood Clone." The Vampire Commander harnessed the blood and made the clone's body have the exact same powers as the original body.

As his powers were revealed, Diana and Branze took notice of the Blood Commander.

"You are better than that swordsman I killed outside. To think you would have the abilities to lead this army. Not one of them is useless! Amazing!"

Mechiel saw it and frowned.

Because Kyros was on the other side, the Coven could not hear Kyros and the rest.

"Lies. You can't kill my brother."

"Your right. I'm still trying to make him my Coven. But it looks like there are more of you who will do well here. Perhaps it's the distance that you Coven of the Nephilim haven't sensed the death of your master yet" The Blood Commander laughed.

"In any case... let's fight. I wonder how your army will deal with my bat army... and me joining in!" The Vampire smiled and channeled massive magic and force energy as he prepared to forward.

"You killed... Kyros?" Mechiel asked.

"Yes, little fang. And I will kill all of you too!" The Vampire Commander laughed.

But as the Vampire Commander laughed, the Blood Calamity inside of Mechiel was seething in hatred.
