Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 379 Fire As Future

In the history that passed within the world of the Unrecorded Pages, most of the survivors yearned for the war-torn days that happened two years ago. It was a day of pain and suffering, but it was heaven compared to the new world that they lived in.

The Omega Kingdom had fallen to the hands of the Eldrich forces that commanded an uncountable armada of Dark Dependents. All races, from the Dark Sea to the ones that had hidden in the underworlds of the Lowlands and the Midlands, were brought to take part in the siege.

The Omega Kingdom fell, and the armies of darkness were poised to attack the massive walls that dived the Midlands to the High Lands.

But in this history, the numerous kingdoms to the far east and west of the Midlands were not attacked. This is because the main goal of the armies of darkness was to take the High Lands, and attacking these kingdoms to the expanse of the east and the west would be too costly. So only a small portion of the armies of darkness set out to demand the surrender of the numerous kingdoms.

When Kyros died and True Time was turned back, the Codes and Corruption that made these kingdoms strong suddenly disappeared. The Brimstone Beasts suddenly appeared, with many of the strongest cultivators turning into Brimstone Beasts.

Yet many kingdoms survived the calamities at first. Many in the Midlands found means and capabilities to fight back, and there were even kingdoms that birthed strong fighters that managed to rewrite the ways of Force and Magic to face the Brimstone beasts.

Many other races from the dark army had no choice but to strike an alliance with the surviving kingdoms and had to find means to survive through light and dark depending means.

Another year passed, and the constant sieges continued. The entire land began to show signs of dying that neither the dark dependent nor the light-grown could survive. The surviving kingdoms began to dwindle one after the other.

The brimstone beasts appeared everywhere, and the survival of the kingdoms depended on the forts that sheltered them. Marching out to another domain would mean death.

But hope appeared when several Pegasus arrived and claimed they were from the High Lands! They claimed that the Walls that Endured continued to endure and that the Highlands were preparing for an expedition to save those who survived and that they only had to remain strong and defend for as long as they could!

The Pegasus flew from one kingdom to the other and gave hope to the lands.

But that was more than a year ago.

The kingdoms to the far west fell one by one.

Soon, one of the surviving kingdoms in the vast desert in the west of the Midlands had no choice but to send out its strongest birds to carry out a team who would set out to ask for help from the nearby kingdoms and ultimately tell the High Lands that they were close to falling.

The kingdom survived due to the demi-human races that lived there having little need of water and had found ways to live off the plants that grew in the parched lands.

Yet the constant bombardment and attacks of the brimstone beast were driving the kingdom to the edge.

They were ordered to call for aid and seek out any surviving kingdoms and nations as they set out.

They found the sea city from the desert lands, which has survived the calamity much better due to its tremendous land advantage. The newt-reptilian races gave more blessings to the rocs and their demi-human riders and bade them luck for their journey.

But after that, many powerful kingdoms that the rocs flew out on revealed nothing but ash, brimstone, and death.

The rocs were forced to fly great distances without resting and used the most precious herbs and stamina drinks of their kingdom and from the reptilian water kingdom.

As they flew, they witnessed another kingdom doomed to fall. Its survivors and rulers were crying out on top of the castle to be saved, and the team swooped in but demanded the most precious herbs to compensate the rocs.

The rulers agreed, and the demi-humans saved only the king, wife, and child. No more was added as it would add more weight.

The group went off, and with the offering of the king's loyal servants all the most precious herbs, the rocs grew stronger and managed to fly greater distances.

It saw a mighty mountain that three kingdoms had used as shelter to save them from the calamity. The mountain had steep edges and only one passageway up.

There the rocs rested once more.

Nearly a week passed when the rocs and the riders rested.

The rocs flew once more and aimed to reach the great Wall that Endured.

In the journey that followed, no other kingdom was found. There were hordes of Brimstone beasts everywhere, and some even had powerful beasts that could fly and chase them!

A battle ensued as these Brimstone Beast could keep up and had seemingly endless stamina that chased the group.

They finally saw it on the fifth day of their constant escape from the Brimstone Beast.

"I see it! The Walls that Endured! We're moving in! Fly with all your might, men!" The woman rider cried out as she saw the massive wall over the land. Numerous hordes of Brimstone Beast seemed to be swarming at the bottom, trying to ascend the mountains and constant attacks of catapults and even magic weapons and attach that the Midlands could no longer perform at the loss of the Codes and Corruption.

There was a massive fortress in between the valley of the two mountain ranges, and it had scores and scores of archers and warriors fighting at the front lines. The brimstone beasts were constantly under fire and could not even reach within a kilometer, thanks to the constant attacks being sent out from the back.

The scouts saw from a distance the approaching rocs.

But each bird had very poor countenance and was skinny and weary for its flying. It had flown for weeks without stopping and had to evade the numerous attacks. Below it was an unending tide of Brimstone Beasts, and it was chased by numerous massive brimstone beasts that could fly.

"Survivors! Save them! Kill the Brimstone Beasts behind them!"

A magic cannon was loaded and aimed at the group.

BOOM!

The cannon shot out a powerful beam that aimed at the beasts. Even at such a distance, the beam struck the beasts perfectly, causing them to die out.

The rocs zoomed towards the fortress, and it fell in exhaustion.

"Catch them! Don't let the rocs die!" A commander cried out, and numerous winged fighters flew to the sky and caught falling rocs.

"Cardinals...!" The woman was amazed that such powerful cultivators still existed. The cultivators were both Dark Dependent and Light Grown. As she gazed around, she realized that the army consisted of all the world's races. Even the eldrich was among the fighters!

A certain cultivator rose through the air and caught the woman, and the woman was amazed that she could somehow hover through the air as the man's magic allowed her flight.

"Lord Cardinal!"

The Cardinal brought her down.

"You are the commander. You must be from the distant Castle Rock Kingdom from your attire and rocs. The demi-human kingdom on the High Rock mountains west of Midlands." The Cardinal spoke.

"It is as you say, Lord Cardinal! Please! Save us! The kingdoms that survive in the Midlands cannot endure any more! You have to send out the teams to save them now!" The woman cried.

"Since you journeyed all the way here, then I shall be blunt. We cannot save them. You have seen the battles here. Even when the calamity began, we knew that we could not afford to send out forces to save any kingdom." The Cardinal answered.

"Wha-what...?!" The woman was shocked.

"It was our idea." An eldrich appeared. His dark powers were so thick that the woman could tell his powers surpassed the numerous cardinals in the light.

"Since the start, we knew that we couldn't save any of them. Even the armies that we led during the war two years ago and sent out to fight the western and eastern kingdoms of the Midlands cannot be rescued. But we knew that our forces would make an alliance with the kingdoms they tried to conquer just as we did here."

"Then... why? Why did you send out the Pegasus to tell us all that you would save us?"

"To give you hope." The Cardinal that caught her answered.

"Hope that will allow those kingdoms to endure and fight as long as they could. Hope that will allow the Brimstone beast to divide their forces instead of attacking them here. Your hope buys us time. More time and fewer brimstone beasts." The Eldrich answered.

"I'm sorry. But your kingdoms all have a similar future. They will have the fire as a future." The cardinal answered.

The woman lost strength on her knees and buckled down.

At that exact moment, a massive army of Brimstone Beasts was charging towards her very home, the Castle Rock Kingdom.

The desert dunes were no longer seen as the armies of the brimstone beasts covered every inch of the desert. Nevertheless, it was a terrifying scene, and all the residents of Castle Rock knew that it would be too late for them to be saved. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

The Fire would be there future.

But at that moment, four figures had arrived on the skies behind the marching armies. The residents were to scared as they watched the beasts that they did not notice this four flying figures.
