Ascension Of The Nephilim

The entire plane was covered with Brimstone beasts

An entire army began to appear from the souls who raged as they were forgotten. Their despair and desire to be remembered turned them into bersekred creatures born out of the darkness.

The power of Lanthanou gave the forgotten ones the ability to make their demands to be remembered.

And so the souls took form as if a Shade Lord of greater power was with them.

The forms that appeared came from all races and Listrel and Gradius instantly identified that these were the souls of the dead of the land!

"So many souls!" Gradius was amazed at what he saw.

"Their rage... Can you feel it?" Lea asked.

The souls took form from the darkness and began to form ranks at the heavens. They all were beings that had wings to fly!

Gradius and Listrel frowned. An aerial army that formed out of the darkness was unexpected and something that their current army was not armed to deal with. Moreover, the Brimstone Beasts sent very few high-flight-capable beasts over the last two years.

The attack of the resurrected forms of the strong warriors that could perform Force attacks was a new army that was only defeated thanks to Kyros's arrival. But now, the beings were transforming into several beasts.

The hate and agony caused many weaker beasts to form into one.

"How is it possible that people who have been forgotten would number this many?!" Rachel asked.

"This world is suffering an apocalypse. Very few are alive to remember those who have passed! And so, many souls are raging to be remembered!" Listrel answered.

The dark army from the sky began to attack as the Crowned incarnation of Lanthanou laughed.

"Behold the Crown of the Forgotten!" He boasted.

"Why? We'd just forget about it anyway." Lea frowned.

"..."

Lanthanou couldn't argue with that logic and sent his forces to attack.

"Die!" Lanthanou sent out the army as he began to charge.

Lea called out the Leviathan's water once more, and it surged all around her.

Rachel charged to the sky and had his Obsidian armor.

But even with the huge serpent, it looked nothing compared to the army of darkness.

The massive World Wood Trees had no choice but to hold off their attacks at the bottom and focus on the dark beasts at the top.

Gradius and Listrel began to harness their Code and made the large tree reflect the power of life.

"The Wood Remembers!" Listrel and Gradius both harnessed their power to make the tree reflect the energy of life.

"Oh? Calling out on the power of the Yggdrasil to make it remember? Too late. I am a Crown now! My powers are sufficient to make a dying tree forget!" Lanthanou laughed as his entire body began to reflect the power of Oblivion.

The two forces began to fight, and Listrel and Gradius were suffering from the backlash.

"Brother! I'll deal with him! Let the trees release the light!" Listrel shouted, and the pair began to fight their respective battles.

Listrel harnessed her power to command the Crown of Thorns to remember, while Gradius commanded the World Wood Trees to release its light to combat the darkness.

The trees gave a strong swipe at the heavens to attack the incoming beasts.

But the aerial beasts were easily able to fly out of the way.

The armies of Brimstone beasts below were now able to attack and march in as the wide swipes of the massive trees.

An army of darkness threatened the skies, while an army of Brimstone ravaged the ground!

The two approaching armies instantly turned the tide of the battle, and warriors of the Highlands were now suffering heavy losses.

Listrel began to bleed as the power of the Crown bestowed to her quivered. She was being beaten in the clash of two Crowns formed from actual Crowns of a God and a Fallen!

Lanthanou laughed as he prepared to take out the memory of Listrel and cut down the memories of the tree.

But then he sensed another power that quivered the heavens.

Lanthanou suddenly felt fear.

"No... it can't be! Who is trying to remember her?! The Nephilim?! How?!" He sensed it and quickly activated the full power of Oblivion and tried to wipe out the budding traces of memory.

But as he did, he felt a sudden pain in his heart as the enemies he had to clear off the memory began to spread all over the place.

"How?! Who is remembering this?! Why are there so many?!" Lanthanou cursed.

BANG!

A powerful punch landed and struck Lanthanou from the back!

Lanthanou flew forward and reached the ranks of the dark army.

Lanthanou turned and saw that the assailant was Hems, who appeared in his Brimstone form.

"The trees and plants! With the power of the awakened elves, it was now possible to speak life into the. And so, they have been secretly planting a seed! We planted a single word on those trees right after your first attempt to assassinate Kyros! And now, those seeds budded at the orders of Kyros. That word is the very word that you made Histerion forget!" Hems smiled, and his entire body began to crack as he opposed the power of Lanthanou.

"You... you remember!" Lanthanou raged and grabbed Hems by the neck.

He glanced down at the ground and saw an army of elves and the surviving warriors of the Midlands! They had appeared from the back. Lights continued to flash as a portal had somehow reactivated itself.

Because of the battle, this area was unguarded, and no Brimstone beast remained. And so, hems teleported in it to see if the path was clear, and after confirming it, he sent the armies that were ready for war.

Among the weapons that were brought in was an Energy Catapult. It was the same kind of catapult that Kyros used with Mechiel before he died in his previous life to escape from the Eldrich. And with that powerful weapon that could throw a rock hundreds of kilometers away, Hems used it to make him attack Lanthanou!

"Histerion never destroyed the portals in case he needed to travel through it. And since our arrival at the last kingdom closest to the Highlands, we already found and accessed it!"

"How do you remember?! I severed the ties and memories for the portals!"

"Of course! I remember everything! I am made of Brimstone! Severing me of my memories means severing Histerion himself! Even when Kyros and everyone else forgot, I kept on remembering!"

Lanthanou was about to kill Hems when he heard Hems's impossible claim!

"No! You forgot! Don't lie to me! I can feel it!"

"You feel the power of Mysterion! This shell of obsidian made from the darkness of Kyriachos covers me from your senses! Even lord Kyros doesn't know I remember! But the plan to kill you has already been set ever since your first attack! Don't underestimate my lord's intellect! You're always ten steps behind!"

"See how your lord has failed you! He sent you here to assassinate me! But you failed! Now die!" Lanthanou cursed and crushed the neck of Hems but then felt terrifying energy surging out.

"I've been holding on to this for a month now. A million Brimstone Beast was contained in me. Their souls and energy... can now burst out. I can finally... let it lose." Hems smiled as the breaking of obsidian finally released the great power that was pressed in him.

BOOM!

A large ball of orange fire shot towards the heavens and exploded with brimstone.

The army around Lanthanou was affected as the massive volcanic blast purged and covered everyone with lava.

At the very center of the explosion, Hems was harnessing the power of his Brimstone Core.

Far away from the Omega Kingdom, the battle between Kyros and the group was nearing its end.

Kyros was dying. He only had his upper body remaining, and if not for his vampire bloodline, he would have died.

But even in such a form, Kyros was not afraid.

"I remember now... How clever of me. I would only say this when I was close to dying or was sure that I would die. But now I remember everything!" Kyros laughed.

Histerion's continued to stand before him. But his expression was that of shock.

"What did you say?!"
