Ascension of the Nephilim

Moments before Kyros made his 'final countdown'...

The battle on the other side was becoming more and more chaotic. Energy conversion circles were planted all over the place, and it created a powerful buff for the Wings of the Nephilim. Some circles enhanced mana regeneration, and other circles added more elements to their attacks.

The coordination of the team was also excellent, and the order of attacks brought the many vampires into focusing on defense. The energy conversion circles had always been a crucial tool used in wars. Even Kyros was nearly saved by when he and Mechiel rode the catapults grafted with these magic circle formations in his past life.

But in this battle where only Cardinals were present, having an expert using such magics was practically impossible.

The spells of these airborne mages turned into strong spells that the Champions could barely resist, although they had stats beyond Champion potentials!

The arrangement and aerial formation of the vampires were also in disarray thanks to the massive fiery bringer of death known as the [Fat Boy]. Some Champions were killed, and many more Champions were severely weakened. As for those under Champion level, those in the inner radius of the fire were incinerated, and those at the edges of the attack were gravely injured. Many more were blown back.

Immediately after, the Green Squadron dove right in and created massive blasts of winds that kept the vampires from organizing themselves. The magic spells of these vampires were also disorderly as the wind had swept in the very heart of their army.

The Gold and the Black Squadron focused on the groups of vampires separated. At the same time, the Blue squadron created more defenses just in front of the energy formation circle where their armies teleported out.

None of the Commanders, even the Cardinal, had sufficient training to fight against such tactics.

"Wings of the Nephilim! Secure your victory! See how our enemies are dying!" Demerus laughed.

"Cower before the might and wisdom of the Nephilim! We will be his wings that will fly him to the heavens and the ends of time to fight your lord Destiny!" Faye laughed as she led her squadron to the attacks.

And as this aerial battle occurred, the fighting on the ground below was just as terrifying.

The ambush was executed perfectly. Once more, the power of the Charmed Fallen, penetrated through the ranks of warriors of Destiny. Eredus had lost because of this, and now a similar power captivated the forces for a second.

But that second was very circuital as it allowed the Coven to begin their ambush.

Two Lizardman Champions of potentials that matched the strength of the Grendelor kin and the monstrous armies that Lucas led made an ambush. Reptilia used the Lightning Core given to her and created a chain of lightning that bolted across the field.

Although it didn't kill them, the shock and stun it brought allowed the two lizard warriors to deliver the killing blow to the nearest, strongest Champions.

Martha and Puff charged off, and Puff took on the form of a Thane Dragon. Both chased after the wounded Commanders.

Martha teleported and used her speed to appear in front of Lucas.

The two fists met.

BOOM!

Lucas was heavily injured and could not outmatch Martha.

Faust wielded a massive spell and shot at Puff.

BOOM!

Faust didn't underestimate the defenses of a dragon as they were known for their magic-resisting properties.

"Fool! I am Puff, the Magic Dragon!" Puff laughed as it charged forward and fought Faust in close range.

Hunter, Avary, Gregory, and Grugnyr also attacked with platoons of knights to challenge the Champions before them.

The battle that had just started was already nearing its climax.

Eredus was very distracted as he fought. He could feel the number of his Coven dwindle.

He was worried about the state of Lucas and Faust, who took the might beam head on.

And to top it all off, he fought against a monstrous swordsman who had nearly the same stats that he had!

The massive water serpent charged at Aron, now flying thanks to some magic.

Three Eredus controlled the magic water serpent that took the form of the head of the Okto-Khefali.

SLASH!

Aron performed one slash that split the massive serpent into two. But the waters quickly reformed.

"Die!" Eredus shouted.

As Kyros had predicted, this specific arrangement would force Eredus to panic and instantly bring out his strongest attack that would kill his enemy and have enough size and power to save his allies. Knowing this, Aron did not hesitate to use his strongest ability and released the energy in two of his Eight Gates of Energy even though he could only maintain this form for a short amount of time.

"That brat sure is amazing. At this rate, I would already be defeated even before I reach him in a challenge." Aron praised as he flew straight for the massive water serpent.

"Thank Shellcross for this trick when you get to the next world, will you?" Aron laughed.

Shellcross used his amazing control of Force Energy to make a massive armor. Aron did the same. But it was more than just armor. It had the property of true cut.

"[Iron Giant]!" Aron shouted, and a Force Energy as large as the water serpent appeared. But there was also another power in this attack.

"Ancient Source!" Eredus felt it. Aron depleted nearly all of his soul to make this attack.

SLASH!

The power of [True Cut] was made. But this one had an Ancient source.

The water was sliced into two, and Eredus lost all command at this magic.

But then, Aron suddenly started to fall.

The three bodies of Eredus saw the chance of a lifetime. Aron had messed up! 

Three sonic booms sounded as they flew with their fastest speed.

"Deja vu..." Aron laughed.

And it was only then that the three clones saw it.

Two massive Force Walls were pushing at them.

"No!" Eredus recalled how he last died but could not turn back anymore.

SMASH!

The three clones smashed hardly on a Force Wall that had Holy energy.

Branze and Diana appeared right behind Aron. They teleported at the last minute and joined in the battle when Eredus least expected it.

The two Force Walls had a small gap right in the middle.

SLASH!

[True Cut happened again.]

The three clones felt severe pain in their souls, and their bodies were sliced in half. The power of True Cut made the lower body truly separate from the upper torso. It could never merge again. Each body used a specific part of Eredus. His first clone used all his blood, and the second clone was made by communing his soul with the Water Core of the Okto-Khefali.

And True Cut severed it. It was a critical blow to Eredus as he immediately lost control and connection to half of his body, blood, and soul.

The six bodies fell on the ground, and a massive Force Wall was crushing down on them. Eredus was too weak to move and was in more pain from the Holy nature of the Force Wall.

The main body glared at Aron.

"You...! Coward! I thought you would face me alone!"

"Why? There are three of you. So I don't feel shame in any sort of way. Why would I? I fought against a Commander with Crown potential. And I'm just a Champion. My allies are Champions too." Aron chuckled as he fell back down.

"You guys finish this. Oh, man. I'll only be able to take out the small fries later.

With Branze in the field, he already charged ahead and used his powerful Templar abilities to push back the enemies.

Martha and Puff also bested the weakened Commanders.

And it was just in time, too.

"Aunt Martha? Report. Are you guys ready to kill those Commanders all together? I'm about to start my final countdown."

Martha smiled.

"Coven! We have food to eat! But as discussed, leave the Grendelor's body for Puff and me. Drain every bit of blood on that Vampire."

"Great... Drinking on the ground again. Thanks, Lord Aron." Hunter sighed as he was going to do what only wild beast would do.

Aron only laughed.

Seeing as things were ready, Martha answered Kyros.

"Go ahead, Lord Kyros. We shall kill them at your command." Martha answered.

"Good. Count with me and kill them. Ten... Nine.... Eight... Seven...."
