Ascension of the Nephilim

Chapter 372 Fire To Darkness



The elves\' arrows were now missing as the shape-shifting brimstone beast took on the thin and fast beast that could move and leap.

Aubrey ordered the team to fire at will as the organized release of arrows to certain locations was no longer effective.

The elves no longer aimed at an enemy but focused the attacks right where the beasts were but were shooting to create a curtain of arrows constantly raining on a certain location to stop more of the Brimstone Beast from entering.

But the Brimstone Beasts used numerous tactics to counter this. A dragon had spewed fire once more and more managed to slip through.

The archers that were based on the base of the tree and guarded the hallow trunks began to shoot and attack. The enemies were now within range of the attacks.

Logon gave orders as he aimed the arrows toward the growing beasts and the approaching siege cultivators.

But then, the dragons at the back shot the flow of brimstone, which suddenly hardened and created a wall of molten lava. These walls blocked the way towards where the several siege cultivators were forming.

Massive beasts with large cannons on their backs began to form over the slain Siege Beasts.

"ROAR!"

The beast roared, and a massive boom erupted, which sent a big ball of Brimstone to fly into the World Wood Tree.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The fortifications made near where Logon and his men stood were nearly attacked.

"Lord Logon..."

If it were before, the archers of the elves would have already been attacked. But Kyros made the team move to the furthest possible edge inside the trunk.

Logon saw the attacks but didn\'t panic.

"Lord Miracle should be moving soon."

Back at the top, Kyros, Mechiel, Lea, and Listrel prepared for their attacks. Massive stones were being rolled out from the inside of the tree and prepared to be dropped down.

Kyros hopped on one of the stones.

"This is insane..." Listrel shook her head as she hopped on another rock.

"I knew they would use their Brimstone powers to create barricades. And this is why we brought these massive boulders up. It\'s also imbued with water energy to help us quench the burning land." Kyros smiled.

The rocks were laid on a strange wooden contraption with a bow-like feature. The stone rolled over, and a large rubber band made from the gum of the World Wood Tree was used. It was pulled back, and the rubber extended far back. The wooden platform where the contraption was built began to tilt downwards as the rock was held back.

"Hold on tight, guys... The G-Force will be quite strong that even your cultivation levels will still cause you to be affected. Mechiel, our training in harnessing the Celestial Code and how the elements whirl around our bodies should give us enough resistance to keep ourselves awake from this."

"What\'s G-Force?"

"It\'s either something about gravity or something about guinea pigs. I\'m not sure. My connection with Calaminus is fuzzy here."

"Guinea pigs?" Listrel and Lea were confused.

Mechiel only chuckled and prepared to get launched.

Everyone began to position themselves at the back of the rock, where a small compartment was present for them to be able to ride the boulder. There was a small energy formation circle drawn on where they stood.

"Time to rock their world! Let\'s go!"

TWANG! TWANG! TWANG!

Several massive stones were shot down, and it quickly gathered massive speed. The rocks were imbued with Force Energy and zipped through the ground with intense speed.

Right before it hit the ground, the energy formation circles created an additional burst of water that ejected the four who were holding on to the rock and greatly weakened the force of their fall.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The massive boulders crashed on the areas where a huge pile of Brimstone was. This brimstone pile was made of the many lives that had died, and the brimstone energy was slowly forming into a large creature that could push through.

But the arrival of the massive boulders created an explosion, and a terrifying shock wave rippled out and destroyed the forming creatures.

The walls erected by the dragons that were creating were also demolished, and the entire place caved in as a massive crater was formed.

"Fire!" Logon ordered.

TWANG! TWANG!

Another round of arrows was released, and it flew with great power and stabbed through the Siege Cultivators and the Dragons at the back.

Kyros was flying over the skies, and the shadow familiars shot out of his dark armor. Each familiar had the figures of Kyros. And out of his sword, numerous paper-thin beings emerged. These were shadow ghouls of Kyros.

All of these rushed and attacked one of the giant brimstone beasts recovering from the impact. Kyros knew the speed of this beast would be fast enough to counter, so he sent his familiars to attack it.

The shadow familiars clung to the beast and tried to bind them and allowed themselves to be burned to pin down the beast.

Kyros\'s wings expanded out, and he charged down and stabbed the sword into a Brimstone beast\'s core.

The souls of the shadow ghouls and familiar were shrieking as they were being killed.

But Kyros smiled. Because as he stabbed the sword, he could sense a massive amount of souls being freed from the purging brimstone.

"[Phos Eis Skotos]!" Kyros used his powers and activated the reverse. Mysterion was the power to uncover. But in order to do that, Kyros knew his lineage from his father, who may as well be the lord of all lies, would have to power to cover. And in that power, he reversed the use of his power. Instead of turning darkness into light, Kyros turned light into darkness.

The power of light that was purging and capturing the numerous souls as beings of hell weakened the souls became free.

Kyros activated the power of Charm and drew the fleeing souls towards his sword and his cloak.

The souls transformed into more shadow apparitions turning into dark flying souls that hovered over the sky.

Kyros then made these beasts charge out wildly. However, unlike the Shadow Familiars and the Shadow Ghoul Familiars, he did not control these beings.

But the angry souls of being attacked and purged charged wildly and attacked more Brimstone beasts.

Each floating soul slashed with its arms that transformed into sickles and blades.

Kyros kept summoning more and more as he began to drain out the Brimstone.

"He creating Wraiths! And they are all at captain levels!" Listrel was shocked as she landed on the side.

Five wraiths emerged and attacked the Brimstone beast nearest to them.

Ten more appeared. And soon, over forty wraiths erupted out and drained the massive Brimstone Beast before him.

No brimstone remained as the power was dispersed.

"He\'s even more of a demon than me." Lea chuckled as she also arrived.

Kyros\'s form was pitch black, and he held on to the sword and shield that he brought with him.

"I should have brought Heralcus\'s shield. Ugh..." Kyros sighed as he assumed the form of a knight that wielded darkness.

Mechiel also landed and was amazed at the reverse spell that Kyros created.

"Amazing. He\'s drawing out the light and turning the souls back to darkness!" The Blood Calamity watched in shock.

A tall brimstone beast managed to break through and evade the arrows and killed any wraiths that dared cross his path.

His brimstone form became more refined, and soon, the gentlemanly appearance of Histerion appeared. But instead of the scholar form that he once had, this Histerion wore armor of brimstone.

"Brimstone knight..." Kyros identified the form in which Histerion assumed.

"I guess I have to kill you if I want this attack to succeed. Come at me, all of you!" Histerion smiled as he drew out a sword of brimstone.

"No need. Everyone, focus on defending and holding the line. He\'s a Knight of Brimstone, and I am a knight of darkness. I\'ll handle him." Kyros smiled as he harnessed the form of Darkness.

"Oh? Quite a miracle I see here. It\'s the first time I\'ve seen reverse Knight Templar!" Histerion laughed.

"A Dark Templar." Kyros smiled as the darkness began to cover him.

"Oh? You can even do True Cloak! You clearly are a being that breaks the norm, Nephilim. Your darkness can perfectly hide you!"

Kyros\'s body was slowly turning invisible.

"Funny you should say that. Dark Templars in Calamainus\'s strange memories often say, \'Adun hide you.\' Or, to be more precise..."

Kyros\'s form finally disappeared.

Histerion raised his sword and created a brimstone shield.

SLASH!

BOOM!

Kyros slashed out his sword, and Histerion felt the Force energy and blocked the attack.

The clash of Brimstone and Darkness created a tremendous boom, but Histerion was actually pushed back!

"Adun Toridas!" Kyros\'s form appeared for a split second before he charged forward and disappeared again.
