Ascension Of The Nephilim

Mechiel and Lea did not bring out more of their abilities like Kyros and Listrel because they couldn't.

Their focus was divided as they were trying to harness the power of Charm and the power of the Grendelor.

The march to 'save the lands' was to eliminate the Brimstone curses plaguing the land and causing suffering to the Ygdrassil tree that made up the Planesworld. However, Kyros had the power of the Dryad, and with his numerous Codes and Corruption, he managed to recreate stability in the land.

The Brimstone Beasts had caused an immense change in the climate and were slowly purging the cycle of life. Life and Death energy could not abound, and the cycle was broken as the souls were gathered and held in the beasts' hellish cores.

But when Kyros and the group eliminated nearly ninety percent of the Brimstone Beast in the entire Vey realm, the clouds began to form again.

Listrel used her powers to create lights, and Lea began to water the land as she commanded the entire ocean to flow to water the drylands.

Soon, clouds began to form as the essence of life gave birth to all elements.

And as the clouds formed, Kyros and the team embarked on a journey of watering and planting seeds on the land. The plants quickly grew as life was released and the dead returned to the ground.

It was there that Kyros decided that he would harness the power of the clouds, which would be necessary to plant life. The death of the Brimstone energy somehow caused pools of water to appear, and Kyros realized that it was the Yggdrasil itself saving or healing itself.

And so, even when they fought, Mechiel and Lea were using their powers to move the clouds themselves.

Dark clouds brought rain. And there, Lea learned how to harness the power of the Abyss to hold the rain and not let it fall. Then, Mechiel used her Charm to draw the clouds to follow her.

"It should be about now, right Mechiel?" Kyros asked.

"Yes. That cloud is just... moving too slow!" Mechiel sighed as she gazed to the far west.

Because of her gaze, the rest also unconsciously turned to the west. And there, they saw massive dark clouds approaching.

"The rains! The rains will fall once more!" An advisor to the king exclaimed. Then, and only now, did the people realize the miracle.

"How is that possible?! Was it your doing?! What power do you hold?!" Rivarridon asked in amazement.

"The gods have returned!"

"Not the gods or the fallen. What has returned was the laws they established. So we have saved the laws of the land in our escapade."

"The laws the gods established? What do you mean? How can Brimstone disrupt these laws?

"Even if the gods and the fallen disappeared and their Codes and Corruption vanished, the laws that they set would not be destroyed. The power of Brimstone purges these things that even these basic laws were being purged. Eliminating them will cause these laws to return once more."

"That is why the lands west of here are now full of forest and lakes as they once did. We have seen it with our own eyes! The death of our Father, Vey, caused a mass release of life that has now caused the forest to grow once more." Aubrey explained.

"So the rains returned when you killed all those Brimstone beasts?"

"Yes. I know that in Castle Rock, your sources of water have been the Rock of Birthing Waters and the numerous cactus plants that can hold the outstanding amount of water. The rains in this desert would allow these two natural elements to gather water once more. But, unfortunately, there has been no rain that quenched the Rock of Birthing Waters and the massive cactus in Castle Rock because of the curse that these Brimstone Beast left on the land. You were on your last drops of water. A few more months, and you would be dead. Am I right?"

"That is correct."

"But now that the Brimstone beasts to the west have been eliminated, it has all returned. But as to why there is rain now, it is because of Mechiel and Lea. They hold Corruptions that are drawing the rain here."

"Lord Miracle! The people of this kingdom are yours to command!" Rivarridon bowed, and all demi-humans quickly followed.

"Good! We will go out and save this land. This desert region is home to many metals. No doubt these Brimstone Beast have absorbed it. But once we kill them all, they revert these metals, which we will instantly work on. How many men are there in this kingdom?"

"We have over fifty thousand demi-humans, elves, and beings of other races. Both Light Grown and Dark Dependent are here. But among them, only forty thousand could fight."

"That will greatly boost our numbers. I can see that your forces can resist the heat and fight in close combat. We will use that to our advantage. For now, we clear out the Brimstone beast! Follow me to battle! All of you!" Kyros called out, and the demi-humans cheered.

For the first time in two years, Castle Rock has sent their numerous soldiers, and even the rock beasts descended the cliff and fought with the elves.

The rain soon arrived and even added more resistance to the demi-humans who fought at the front lines.

Kyros and the rest began to fight as well. Kyros took the chance even to conduct a lecture to help the fighters regain their ability in Force Energy. The Demi-Humans showed even better potential than the elves. The Elves were close to the plants and hated the heat. But these demi-humans who lived their lives in the desert were more resistant, and so, there were even some fighters who had regained the ability of Force.

The full military might of the elves and their wooden titans were revealed.

The Grand Pike was a massive bow that held a giant piece of lumber taken directly from the World Wood Tree. When it was shot, it crossed the great distance and squashed and killed thousands of Brimstone Beast at once.

A massive opening in the front lines occurred, and Kyros and the three moved towards where the giant pike was and held their grounds as Kyros didn't want to waste the wood in a battle of this intensity.

The High Bows flew on the giant rocs of Castle Rock and the strongest warriors and held their ground in that area.

The collapse of ranks allowed the elves and the demi-humans to push back quickly and gain more ground.

At that moment, those who could not fight helped gather metal from the numerous abandoned mines near the bottom of Castle Rock, and the forges in Castle Rock were immediately lit.

Others worked tirelessly in the rain and pried open the hardened corpses of the brimstone beast and found small amounts of metal in them.

A great energy formation circle was revealed on a large platform and at the core of the altar was Calaminus, who had grown from a Soul Core to a Soul Seed.

The massive platform was carried into Castle Rock, and Time Acceleration's power began.

As the first day passed, Castle Rock was immediately able to create metal weapons that replaced the wooden poles and devices that the elves used.

Swords and shields were formed, and more and more elves were outfitted with great weapons of their choosing. The lances, the swords, and all other metal works had long been destroyed among the elves. But the weapons that were forged at Castle Rock were more resistant.

Two days of fighting continued, and eventually, the great number of brimstone beasts were all defeated.

A great celebration occurred that day, and the elves and demi-humans rejoiced. A feast of great wealth appeared as fruits of all sorts were offered by the elves. The wine was served, and a great party was held.

But not a few hours since the party began, the scouts arrived and offered a grim report. Another army of Brimstone Beast approached.

"We'll handle it." Suddenly, Kyros volunteered and ordered the three to join him.

"Lord Miracle?" Aubrey was startled.

"We'll fight and delay as long as we can. You guys enjoy your party."

"May I perish if I allow-"

"Don't make such hasty vows. Listen, this party is a great bonding moment for all of you. This will uplift morale and remind everyone what we are fighting for. Besides, I and these three need to work on their combat skills and awaken more Codes and Corruption if we want to win this. You all have one day to enjoy and make merry. After this, we prepare and make our march to save the more kingdoms." Kyros ordered.

Kyros began to encourage everyone to enjoy and even allowed Calaminus to take charge of the party.

Soon, party rock music filled the kingdom as DJ Calaminus released his awesome mix.

The four flew out towards the East to meet the brimstone beast and fight them to combat.

"Have you guys understand more of your powers in the past days of fighting? We've killed a lot of Brimstone, and I felt the location of my Code. What about you?" Kyros asked the three.

"I felt the same. These past days I felt a strange call. It calls me East. I recall that there is a kingdom of great water there." Lea reported.

"I as well. But what I sense is the cry of the land and its rejoicing." Listrel answered.

"As I thought. I understand now. The power that the both of you carry..." Kyros smiled.
