Ascension of the Nephilim

Kyros knew that Mechiel would have no way of combating the darkness with her powers and could only use Charm out of desperation.

When she managed to cry out, Kyros quickly activated his powers to speed towards the location where he heard the sound.

He could feel the insane power constantly making her forget her allies.

Kyros kept repeating the two names repeatedly as he charged towards the source of the sound and battled the massive dark creature that was chasing him as fast as he could.

The attack that was reflected and created a strong surge of light eradicated the form of the darkness that was chasing them.

"That hurt..." A voice laughed at a distance.

Kyros continued to chase Mechiel and knew that a simple attack like that wouldn't be enough to kill Oblivion.

Soon the darkness began to gather, and it took the form of a human being from afar.

The figure of a man was shown. The man was unkempt and dirty. He had dark robes and a large staff that seemed to have been plucked off a random dying tree.

"What a combination, you two! And reflective power... That's a rather rare skill, kid. What exactly is your bloodline?" The dark form appeared near Listrel.

"And the Nephilim sure is strong! I've never lost an incarnation in this world. To be able to launch a massive light attack like that. I believe even you would have difficulty bringing the Brimstone in here."

Listrel turned over and glared at Oblivion.

"It's not... that hard!" Listed shouted back, and the brimstone energy that was constantly flooding her real body in the real world began to erupt in her soul.

Listrel then charged towards Oblivion.

"I remembered everything, you mother fragment! How dare you murder me like that!" She charged as the Brimstone energy enveloped her entire soul. And yet, her soul was not consumed.

She raged and cursed as she was able to recall so much more compared to what Kyros could remember. Her power in Brimstone was allowing her to purge the strange darkness that was reaching in on her soul. And so, her memories surfaced as to what exactly was going on!

"Ah... Brimstone... To think I'd be so unlucky to meet someone who is a genius in wielding it!" Oblivion laughed. A massive dark sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed it out.

A massive power erupted, and Listrel realized that she was tricked. The form of the man was far stronger than his previous form, and the attack would kill her!

"You're powerful for old men. I like it..." A seductive call could be heard from afar, and Oblivion was startled as his attention turned to a beautiful woman illuminated by the light.

The distraction gave Listrel a chance that she needed, and she evaded the massive attack that slashed down.

Several beams of light shot towards Oblivion as Listrel made her retreat.

Oblivion raised his arm and sent several dark rays that struck the incoming beams, and the light began to fade.

Kyros was shocked to see how his attack had vanished.

"Light faded! This is... the darkness that can consume the greatest of light!" Kyros was horrified. What magic drew out the souls that pulled them into this dark world?

"How annoying. It seems I will have to use more of my powers to kill you and turn you into Oblivion. I should have listened to Histerion and sent in a stronger form." Oblivion sighed.

The Blood Calamity had appeared instead of Mechiel.

She was glaring at the enemy.

"You... You were making people forget about me!"

"A daughter of Xermolipi for sure! To think you'd be able to distract me. But that little spotlight trick the Nephilim did enhance your power. To think a Phaulos like you would need the light to be remembered."

"Who is he?" Listrel asked.

"The Fallen of forgetting. We are in a world doomed to be burned. And it's a timeline that will be soon forgotten. That's why he is attacking us. Do you remember if we have other allies?"

"Lea! Lea Olethros! You guys forgot?!"

Mechiel nodded and began to think. She couldn't remember anything else outside of this realm!

"Yes. You can remember a lot more because of Brimstone that you have covered yourself in. You must have a special inheritance that allowed you to do it. But I can't bring it out. Skotos Eis Phos cannot turn darkness to brimstone and lava." Kyros explained.

"You were rescuing an ally that was brought into this world. You were so desperate to save him that you used a massive magic attack and harnessed the energy of darkness to create a black hole."

"Hems! I remember now! We were sucked into this world because we created that attack! But this fallen appeared only much later... Lea... I remember now. She must have found a Corruption or a Code. And in doing so, she remembered something that should have been forgotten. And so Oblivion appeared!"

"Because we are after Codes and Corruption!" The Blood Calamity answered.

"Exactly. It's annoying to see you all remember the memories that should have been sealed and kept hidden with my power!" Oblivion approached as his sword grew larger.

"In any case, let us end this! I only have so much time left! After that, you shall all be forgotten!"

Kyros drew out his sword.

The joyful souls that were captured were ignited, and Brimstone appeared again.

"Blood Calamity! Use Charm! We can't take that blow head-on even if we combine our might. But with your Charm, he will lower his attack! Listrel! Let's block that attack!" Kyros ordered as Oblivion readied and swung his sword.

A massive light glowed out as several swords of light were summoned by Kyros.

It surrounded the Blood Calamity, who was using the full power of Charm.

The sword's attack slowed down, but the attack was still bearing a force that both could not contend with.

"Listrel! Reflect the power of Charm!" Kyros shouted.

And Listrel created several mirrors that appeared around her, and it was as if the power of Charm fell and merged with her beauty.

A massive force shield appeared over Listrel. Kyros wielded his blade and harnessed all the might he could muster.

"[Last Resort]!" Kyros shouted a modified version of the Last Stand that bolstered his strength for a time but would not kill him.

BANG!

The two met the sword and were able to resist it!

"We've blocked it!" Kyros laughed.

"How annoying. But luckily, my sword isn't an ordinary blade!"

The massive sword suddenly revealed numerous large needles that shot toward Kyros. Since Listrel and the Blood Calamity were using Charm, Kyros was the only easy target.

Kyros saw the approaching spikes and harnessed the darkness and light within.

"Skotos Eis-"

"Skotos Eis what?" Oblivion smiled as his power rippled out of the strange world.

STAB! STAB! STAB!

Mechiel jumped in and used her blood form to block the attacks aiming for the critical parts of Kyros.

Kyros's head was not struck as Mechiel threw dove in and embraced Kyros from the back, and turned her wings into a shield that blocked the attacks.

But the needles had still reached Kyros's chest despite Mechiel's effort to defend Kyros with a Blood Wing Shield. A part of Kyros's heart was pierced. His arms and legs were also stabbed because of the needles.

"AHHH!" Mechiel shouted in pain.

Kyros was in so much pain, but the power of Oblivion was making him forget that he could not utter the words to activate the power.

"I win! It was a close fight! I can't even swing my sword anymore, but you are all dead!" Oblivion laughed as the clash had ended in his favor,

More needles had appeared from the sword and shot toward everyone! This time, without the power of Charm, they could now be targetted.

Listrel saw the needle approach and closed her eyes as she accepted her Fate.

...

...

...

She opened it again and found the dark needles right in front of her face.

"What?"

"He stopped moving?! It's Calaminus!" The Blood Calamity realized.

"He stopped time!" Listrel drew her sword and was about to cut the needles stabbed onto Kyros.

"No..." Kyros spoke softly.

"Kyros!"

"Don't cut those black tentacles... Let me... land... the last blow... I remember now... I found the light that he... has covered." Kyros glared at Oblivion hatefully.

"You who forget... You will remember my name! [Skotos Eis... Phos]!"

BOOM

A massive light erupted and attacked the unguarded form of Oblivion.
