Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 366 World To Protect

On the outskirts of the massive World Wood Tree, Listrel and Lea walked at the front lines, and they were careful to move through the ashen world stealthily. They had seen numerous lone Brimstone Beast wandering around and began to assassinate them.

They even witnessed a Brimstone creature slowly rising and taking form from the ground.

The group attacked and killed silently so as not to draw out any more beasts. They attacked and ensured that their assaults were done to kill the Brimstone Beast immediately. But as they silently traversed through the barren lands of burnt soil, Listrel couldn't take it anymore.

She had seen a strange miracle back then. Not only had Time magic, ancient and very impossible magic appear, but Kyros managed to recreate the powers that were lost in this world. And she could not understand it.

"So... exactly how many gods and fallen code does that Kyros have?" Listrel finally asked Mechiel.

"I thought we were to move stealthily." Mechiel frowned. Kyros had noticed that the Brimstone Beast was very keen on sounds.

"Just tell us. Even I can't believe what I saw!"

"You guys should get used to it. I've seen even more incredible things." Mechiel chuckled.

"Just tell us already!"

"Well, I don't really know the full details... But from what I've seen Lord Kyros and the other lords of the Steele do, we have Charmed, Fanged, Zelah, Astra, the Celestial Code, Kyriachos, Tyrannus, Soter, Lord Calaminus's Time powers, Lord Hyperion Steel, and I head Lord Branze is someone who is the incarnation of Gennaios Steele, and Lady Diana is someone called Katara Kyriachos. You already met the Goddess of Fate. Our enemy is Destiny, and from what I understand, Lord Kyros bears the power of Mysterion." Mechiel began to list the powers in her memory.

Lea and Listrel had shocked expressions.

The powers that Mechiel listed were so diverse and so unique. Many of the Codes and Corruption listed was known as Prime Source. Kyriachos, Soter, and Hyperion Steel were foundational powers that defined many aspects of creation.

In their prestigious positions and connections, even they could only dream of having these powers.

"You have Charmed and Fanged Corruption. That, I can sense. But what else do you have?" Lea asked.

"I've also learned a bit of the Celestial Code. I can wield magic by using the Charmed Fallen's power to attract the elements into submission. Lord Kyros taught me how to do that. And through it, I have learned a bit about Astra's Code. I also have a skill called [Pronto], which is a power I believe to be from Lord Calaminus." Mechiel listed the powers she had.

"..." Both Listrel and Lea were even more shocked.

"Wait a minute! None were from the Code of Bow!"

"Goddess Veiyos Bow... Oh, right. I don't think anyone has fully awakened that yet. But from what I understand, Veiyos Bow is one of Lord Calaminus's allies." Mechiel added.

"Looks like we do have hope, then. His plans sound insane, but he might just have what it takes to save this world." Listrel sighed.

"And here I thought our little battle in the Planesworld would be the focus of my life. But now, I got pulled into things far beyond my capabilities." Lea sighed.

"Yes. Things were simple back then, Lea. Let's hope we survive this so we can go back to killing each other." Listrel nodded and noticed a group of Brimstone creatures being born.

"More are appearing? And this time it's a group! Is this normal?" Listrel asked an elf.

"...No. Most Brimstone Beast is from people that have been killed. Very few are raised from the Earth! This is also the first time I have witnessed this. Even the scouts we send to observe the enemy had never reported this when they went out to observe this place yesterday!"

Lea dug her hands into the ground. She could feel a growing heat.

"This is bad. It looks like the power of Brimstone is starting to corrupt the Yggdrasil itself! Even the soil of the Yggdrasil is being burned! That is why Brimstone Beast is being born from the ground! And more will appear from now on! We are on a tight schedule if we want to save this world!" Lea analyzed as she could feel the soil's neutrality has a purging power.

"I think that's why Lord Kyros wants to push ahead as quickly as possible. He probably plans to harness the Celestial Code and use the power of Astra to strengthen the Planesworld. Astra's Code is the Code that harnessed the Celestial Code and the Code of the Earth to create planets. If these Codes are dying, it will cause the Planeworld to burn out. But harnessing that Code could rid this world of the Brimstone!"

"Then we have to hurry. Destiny couldn't see all of this. To him, it didn't make sense why Fate allowed it since he believed even the Planeworld would not exist now. But Fate knew there was an impossible hope hidden here. And she's betting that Kyros can reach that hope. I think we should go all out, Lea. The more of these creatures we hunt, the more fuel we have to create the time acceleration." f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

"Yes. I also need to train. I saw him absorb the energy of Brimstone. If he is a person who can wield both dark and light, it should be possible for him to teach me how to be a Dark Dependent that can feed on the light!"

"That's quite an impossible hope, Lea. Right now, my powers of the Light are closer to Brimstone. But even I wouldn't dare do what he did. How much more you, who is close to the exact opposite of Brimstone."

"We are both bound to Kyros by Fate. This also means we are someone that is Fated to be with him to help him get through this battle. So let's do our best, Listrel!"

"Agreed. How about a contest?"

"Oh? You read my mind." Lea smiled.

"Wait! What are you planning?" Mechiel shouted in shock. The two suddenly gathered their energy to fight.

Lea held out her hands, and the power of Force returned.

? Listrel raised her sword, and the power of Holy returned.

"What the...! How?! You don't have Codes or Corruption!" Mechiel was stunned.

"Why so surprised, Mechiel?"

"How did your powers return?"

"They didn't return. We don't have the blessing. But you forget we are the best of the best in the Planeworld. Don't underestimate us. Kyros showed us that it is possible to harness the power we lost. We lacked confidence in ourselves back then. But when Kyros trained the archers and began to teach them, I realized that I was lied to. These Blessings of Code and Corruption aren't blessings, is it?" Listrel smiled.

"Yes. I can feel it now. All paths are open. Those Blessings unsealed us from the Gods, and Fallen's limitations had cursed us to have. But they were also like floats that could help someone learn to swim. When we arrived in this world, those training floats were taken, and we sank. But now that we know we can swim independently, it's easy." Lea began to draw out the power in her.

The power of darkness returned as it wrapped around Lea's arm.

"Well, Lea is making a vast underestimation of things. It's not that easy. It's more like we had tools that helped a ground animal fly, and it was taken from them, and now they have to learn how to fly on their own. It sounds impossible and difficult. But the two of us aren't exactly normal either." Listrel smiled as she glanced around her.

"So this is what freely wielding light is? Interesting. Mechiel. Join us as we fight. Archers, find a group of enemies that you guys will kill on your own. The three of us have to fight alone. You guys also have to train."

"M-me?!" Mechiel was shocked.

"Yes, you. You're so weak. You need to improve your fighting skills. We, your big sisters, will teach you how."

"But- But... Lord Kyros usually trains me..."

"Not anymore, he will. He's too soft on you. We'll roughen you up. Just try to survive. Besides, I've seen that other Succubus. She wants your husband. She's far stronger than you, you know?" Listrel chuckled.

"And you also have us to worry about," Lea added.

"Wha- What do you mean?"

"Oh, come on! That husband of yours has so many Codes and Corruption! We don't even have to like him. But such powers that he possesses will greatly help Lea or me if we marry him. You two haven't even done it yet, have you? For a Fallen, you have such pure untainted energy." Listrel chuckled.

"She's right. So if you really love your lord, you'll fight. Frankly, your love for him isn't that deep anyway. I'm starting to like your man. I may take him from you if you are too weak. Come on, let's go! I sense a group over there!"

The tail of Lea wrapped around Mechiel and forcibly pulled her as Listrel used her light powers to fly.

"Woah! This is fun!" Listrel laughed as she tried to adapt to the new sensation of being able to wield the power of Light freely.

The elves were shocked at what they saw.

"Wha-what do we do?"

"I guess we should also fight and do what Lady Lea said.. That conversation that they had was quite marvelous. Lord Miracle is a god! And a devil!" One of the elves exclaimed.

Back in the base, the training had begun.

"So, as you can see, Force is always present! Even now! You guys just don't know how to draw it out! But I've shown you that it is possible! Meditate on the steps, I said! Search for that power in you! No longer are you the elves of the Vey Woodrealms! But as you are warriors who have a world to protect, I now call you, Planeteers! Arise, Planeteers! Arise, for you have a world to protect!" Kyros declared, and the Word of Power which Kyros based on the very call for him to arise and fight End, rippled out and surged in everyone.

The army of elves roared. Kyros was using the power of the Heretic Teacher, and it allowed them to absorb every word that they said.

Kyros then channeled the power of his father.

"I, a mere Captain, can do much! So can all of you! Planeteers! Will you arise and save this world?!"

"Yes, Captain Planet!"

"Erm... Right. I guess." Kyros was stunned at the crowd's answer.

"Oh well. It fits the dialogue." Kyros shrugged and decided to say what he felt he should say.

"The power... is yours!"

Numerous archers suddenly felt the power of Force return.
