Ascension of the Nephilim

412 Crown of Thorns

The attack of Kyros harnessed the power of a birthing star and forced it to erupt and create a star.

The two clones he summoned had merged with his sword, and the power of the light and the darkness grew.

It wasn't just a concentrated slash anymore, but it released the contained energy similar to the attack he would make the Emberdons do.

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

But his enemy was the combined heroes of the Planesworld, led by Histerion, who was using a strange power beyond comprehension. The four still began to share the power without using anything to form an energy formation circle. It was as if their very bodies were an energy formation circle.

The blue star and the yellow sun fought.

The entire battlefield erupted as the attacks of the Crowns met.

The powerful explosion caused the earth to tremble.

Breveros saw the explosion at the back that exploded towards the heavens.

A smaller blue light could be seen struggling against the massive yellow light.

"Lord Miracle...!"

"He knows what he's doing. Let's do what we can! Look at the power! He's right. At the scale of the battle he now is fighting, it's not something we all can fight. They are Crowns. It's not like two years ago when Crowns would be within our capacities! Their battle doesn't even have the containing magic of the Ygdrassil that limits the explosions and destruction that all cultivators can reach! It looks as if it were Cherubims that are fighting!"

BOOM! BOOM!

More explosions and shock waves rippled out, and the attacks made the Planesworld feel pain.

"Go!" Breveros urged his team.

Near the Omega Kingdom, the army led by the Olethros and the Protos Endoxus was quickly gaining ground.

The beasts of brimstone had taken all forms. It made siege cultivators of Commander and Cardinal levels to shoot the massive World Wood Trees. The brimstone siege attacks struck the World Wood Trees were damaged, and their legs had grown shorter as the attacks caused the trees to abandon the destroyed pieces.

The arms and legs burned up were discarded, and the entire tree would tremble and reshape itself.

Its massive size had decreased by nearly one-fourth of its size.

But the mountain tree still delivered and killed hundreds at each swipe of its arm.

Gradius and Rachel were fighting together and harmonizing their powers. Gradius defended, and Rachel fought as she charged deep into the enemy's ranks and received numerous powerful light spells from Gradius.

The two used very strange abilities that diverged from the common ways of combat.

Gradius developed the power of absorbing the light from the brimstone. His command over the fire and light had allowed him to manipulate the fire of another!

The Brimstone Beasts' own fire was absorbed! The power of the fire was causing Gradius to glow as if he was a wood being burned. But as the energy gathered around Gradius, Gradius immediately harnessed it into Force energy!

His adventure these past two years pushed him far beyond his limits. As the celestial bodies that gave light to the land drifted and became inconsistent, Gradius needed a constant energy source as he fought the hardest.

And during those times, he thought of using the brimstone as the light source. And in this, he received an epiphany! Unknown to him, his power as a Protos Endoxus was starting to awaken. But now, he received the Code of Dentro. And this ability of his magnified itself.

"Finally... I can make the magic of this!" Gradius smiled and constantly cast magic and force.

The energy around him would heat and even harm his body. But if Gradius quickly used it, he would not get burned.

As Gradius fought, constant spears of Force energy would shoot out all over the area. The cores of the Brimstone beasts were the constant target of his attacks, and he was killed by the dozens every second. Spells and buffs were cast everywhere, and even healing magic was used on his allies nearby!

Rachel fought right up front as well. She used her body that constantly released water and fought the Brimstone beasts creating an Obsidian armor.

Her entire body had evolved to assimilate with the obsidian stones naturally and merged it with her body.

The Obsidian stones were not just normal stones but contained her life energy! Her control and wielding over darkness allowed her to command the Obsidian properties and wield them as her own.

Lea and Listrel could not help but praise their siblings for the ingenious fighting method.

"Of course... Obsidian is dead brimstone. The joys of brimstone have died, and the souls have ended. It's possible to wield it like that!"

"No wonder Gradius has also bestowed the power of Dentro's Code. He was already learning it. Perhaps in his stay, Dentro was already trying to call out to him but could not breach the power of Oblivion."

"Well, we can't let them have all the glory. We big sisters need to show off a bit. After all, those giant Brimstone Mountains look dangerous." Lea smiled, and she began to take a step forward.

In front of them was a massive Brimstone beast that had formed from possibly hundreds of thousands of Brimstone beasts. It was like a massive hill; several were forming and would challenge the World Wood Trees.

"I'll take care of this."

Above them was the massive Leviathan that Lea had summoned. It began diving closer towards them and opened its mouth as it swallowed Lea.

But as it did, the darkness began to creep through.

During the Heretic Wars, the different Fire Dragons that reigned and challenged the gods grew too many, leading to the creation of a Fallen.

The Fallen was designed to attack the entire universe and seal the souls of the Heretics so they could no longer revive themselves through their power.

And that Corruption that was born was the power of Hydron.

The power flooded the entire universe as the heavens rained with water. Planets were drowned, and even the stars were dimmed.

As the waters ceded at the light of Soter, Hades was formed. The world where all the souls of the dead were kept.

By its very nature, the power of Hydron was not just water. But a means to chain and silence the souls.

The entire dragon turned black as the Abyss spread through it.

The large dark serpent charged towards the mountain of Brimstone beasts and challenged it in combat, and ran like a spear towards the gigantic Brimstone beats.

STAB!

The charge of the black serpent penetrated the chest of the beasts.

Even with the strong heat, no mist or steam appeared at the contact between the two. On the contrary, it was as if the water was dense and darker and devoured the souls.

"Oh boy... What a show-off..." Listrel observed the battle.

"Hmm... But the ground is becoming more fertile thanks to the water and the dying brimstone. I wonder if I can plant a World Wood Tree here?" Listrel pondered the possibilities.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a strange power appeared as the space above tore open.

"That damned Nephilim! He locked me in a battle against the Charmed Fallen! And he uses the chance to summon the Celestial Code?!" An old man appeared out of the void.

The old man looked even more haggard than his usual appearance.

But as he appeared, Lanthanou saw the scene before him.

"How is this possible?!"

"There he is... Lanthanou!" Listrel smiled.

The moment Listrel said the name, Lanthanou felt the energy.

"You! You remember me?!"

"A tree is rooted on the ground. As long as I am here among the trees, I will remember. Your ugly face finally shows itself."

"Saruman!" Gradius shouted as he saw the old man.

"You're the old wizard that we have to kill! It's just like in the story that Calaminus spoke of!"

Listrel facepalmed.

"Die, wizard! Photon...!" Gradius harnessed the power of the light.

"Photon what?" Lanthanou laughed as the power surged and affected everyone.

"[Photon Blast]!"

Gradius had fought for hours and stored a massive amount of Force energy. He began to turn it into magic slowly. And now that the enemy had appeared, he shot the light beam worthy of being a light attack from a Protos Endoxus.

"How?!" Lanthanou cursed as he saw the power of shot out even though Lanthanou made him forget!

Lanthanou cursed, and the power of darkness appeared to block the attack.

"[Magnify]!" Listrel shouted as she used her force to create a massive mirror right above where Gradius shot his beam.

The beam collided with the mirror energy...

BLAST!

A massive pillar of light expanded out.

BOOM!

"ARGH!" Lanthanou has harmed again!

"Kyros was right..." Listrel chuckled.

"It was all in that seed he gave."

"You...! A Crown of Thorns!"

A crown of dark thorns was on the heads of Listrel and Gradius.

"We are linked to the Yggdrasil! If you want to make us forget, you'd have to make this entire Yggdrasil forget!" Listrel laughed as she flew up.
