Ascension of the Nephilim

Kyros carried the power of a Crown and charged against two Crowns. And the two weren't ordinary Crowns. One was a god, and the other the strongest mage among the Eldrich.

But Kyros did not retreat. The power that he wielded surpassed his expectations. And somehow, he feels that there was something strange with the events. Lanthanou battled against retaining the memories of two gods, and Kyros received a huge power boost.

This wouldn't have happened by chance. And Kyros knew that this only happened because of his desperation. Kyros genuinely believed that he was trapped. And as he panicked and thought death would arrive, the enemy became confident and made moves.

But all that was a plot to force the enemy's hand and turn advantages into disadvantages. Kyros saw the suspicious evens and believed his reactions in the battle were part of some consideration.

"Let's see how my magic does in front of Bolerax." Kyros laughed and harnessed the power of the wind in his sword.

"Wind Slash!" Kyros shouted and made several slashes which sent out cuts of winds.

The space around Kyros trembled as the force of his Crown-level slash rippled out and created sounds of thunder that reverberated for several kilometers.

The power of the Wind slash shot towards Bolerax Hiwind and even to Histerion.

"[Wind Conflux]!

Bolerax Hiwind raised his arm, and several small orbs of green energy appeared in front of him.

BOOM! BOOM!

Massive explosions similar to the sounds of volcanic eruptions roared about. The shockwaves were so strong that those under the Commander level had to use Force or Magic to defend against the shockwaves!

"Lord Miracle! Take your battle elsewhere! The attacks are affecting our battle!" A Commander pleaded.

BOOM! BOOM!

The battle between Breveros and the two kings of the Planesword was starting.

The entire army assumed a formation and used several of the last legacy items created during the age-long forgotten.

These weapons contained energy bombs and powerful spell shields that the Highlands were full of in the age before the Brimstone apocalypse.

Breveros and the other Cardinals were fighting with the strength that could equal a Crown thanks to these, but the group was fighting a losing battle as they faced two of the strongest warriors that had walked the Planesworld.

Magic and Force energy kept shooting out and struck the two beings using Force energy to block the rain.

"Keep attacking! Don't give them a chance to recover their Force energy!" A cardinal in charge of leading the army shouted.

Their Commanders ensured that the shield formation and the attack formations they assumed were stable and strong so that they could stand firm and survive the earth-shattering blows.

Kyros was now more careful when fighting Bolerax Hiwind. The wind attacks he sent out turned against him!

"Amazing. Even with Celestial Code in my hand, you can masterfully steal and control them!" Kyros was amazed. Bolerax caused the explosions as he dispersed the energy.

"[Wind Commander]!" Bolerax shouted as he gathered the dispersing wind from the slash attacks.

"Bolerax. Keep attacking him from afar. I'll meet him in combat." Histerion smiled and slowly flew towards Kyros.

Bolerax continued to harness the energy, but Kyros could not charge toward him as Histerion now stood in between.

"Did you know that Soter used sulfur and Brimstone to punish the Fallen who rebelled back then? People associate hell to be with the Fallen, but it was never their strength! It was their weakness! Behold! An ancient power, long forgotten!"

Histerion's body began to change.

Kyros could feel an immense heat. This form surpassed the Brimstone Knight form he used when they first fought.

The skies turned red, and a realm of Brimstone opened up from the skies above.

And there, at the very top, was a massive eye watching them. Kyros knew that the eye was the real Histerion who was watching his incarnation and granting it power.

"You're reading the Unrecorded Pages?" Kyros trembled.

"Relax. I can't do anything more than this. I am a god bound to writing history. It's very annoying doing this for me. This will be the most I can do to further the burn of the Unrecorded Pages." Histerion smiled.

It covered the entire sky that even Listrel and the rest could see.

"What is that...?!" Lea was horrified.

"It's the Eye of Sauron!" Gradius shouted.

"Can we please stop it with those references?!" Listrel shouted angrily.

"The Eye of Sauron is fixed on Kyros! It's not looking here! Fight! Claim the Celestial Code!" Calaminus shouted as the power of Time exploded out, granting haste to the entire army and even the large tree stomping and slashing the ground, killing hundreds at a single strike.

"He's right! Go!" Lea roared, and the power of Leviathan and the rains poured even harder, adding protection to the tree and the armies that had launched on the ground to prevent the brimstone beasts from flooding the massive World Wood Tree.

The Highland Army guarded the legs of each tree and secured a perimeter around the legs of the tree, which would ingrain itself on the ground.

"Defend the tree! It will make several sweeps to clear the hordes in front of us so we can press forward! Our battle is to ensure that this tree won't get burned!" A Commander shouted as he rallied the Champions and Captains below.

The massive eye quickly tilted and glanced toward the Omega Kingdom.

It saw the actions and the trees, and then the massive eyes shifted their gaze back to Kyros.

"Oh...? You've done quite well! I can't believe you've managed to add life to those World Wood Trees!" Histerion smiled. His entire form was made of lava. But yet, his form still assumed the appearance of a knight.

"World Wood Trees?" Kyros was confused as he heard Histerion's words.

"Are you playing dumb, or did you forget? No matter. If you won't win and defeat this form, I can go there and cut down those trees! Much like your Celestial Paladin Form, this is also a Knight Class that requires the strongest blessings of my Code to work. This is the Hellforged Knight!" Histerion suddenly slashed out with a massive ax formed from his Brimstone body.

The power was immense! Kyros knew that Histerion would be so strong. But the attack surpassed the average strength of a level sixty being.

Crowns had a strength value of over 500 points! But the power of the ax swing proved that it was vastly stronger and had roughly over 700 points!

"A High Crown?!" Kyros cursed as he harnessed the power of the souls that formed his Last Stand.

"[Soul Force Celestial Shield]!" Kyros harnessed the power of his Celestial Guard but added the energy.

The Swords of Light and the two Prime Clones also acted and released magic and energy to block the blow.

The Prime Clones even held unto Kyros and pushed him to stabilize him as he took in the powerful blow.

BOOM!

Kyros was blown back as another crackling sound shot out across the land.

BANG!

Kyros crashed to the ground but quickly sprang out and charged toward Histerion.

"Too strong! I must defeat him now!" Kyros shot out, and several swords appeared around him.

But as Kyros flew, he caught sight of the energies behind him.

Bolerax raised his staff, and the power of wind and entropy gathered, creating several green arrows of wind and entropy, and it shot toward Kyros.

The magic energy was so strong that while the arrow seemed small and weak, it could easily penetrate and kill several Heraclus in one shot.

The power of the Crown that Bolerax harnessed did not have explosive energy. But it had concentrated power.

Bolerax aimed his scepter at Kyros.

"What are you going to do, Kyros?" Histerion chuckled as he prepared to make a charge with Bolerax's attack.

Kyros undid the power of the Celestial Paladin and closed his eyes.

"I can't win with that form. I must emphasize speed and offensive power!" Kyros urged as the arrows approached.

Kyros's body glowed, and his form quickly changed. His celestial coat of armor disappeared, and his sword and wings began to glow.

"I lived my life as a Paladin in my previous life. But that was then. This is now. I no longer have to carry the shield. I can carry the sword alone..." Kyros spoke words of power that evoked reality.

Kyros felt his body tremble, and his memories of everything he had gone through in this life flashed before him. One of them was the memory of when he awakened the power of Hyperion.

"Remember the present. My power in this time was not meant to improve the power I had in the past. I died, and in this life, I vowed not just to carry a shield to protect, but a sword to slay my enemies!"

"[Evermore Entropy Annihilation Arrow]!" Bolerax shouted as the arrows launched out.

The moment Bolerax released the magic, all the arrows vanished as they whistled in the air with tremendous speed.

Kyros held the sword with two arms.

"[Celestial Swordsman]!"
