Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 402 Remembering Their Past Lives
The words of Kyros made Lea and Mechiel confused.
Breveros pondered the words of Kyros.
"Well, it does make sense. That Fallen you call Oblivion wants memories to fade and be forgotten. And as a fallen and something that defines the reality that we live in, doing the exact opposite should hurt him. You said that Histerion and this Oblivion are stronger than the other gods and fallen. That also means that they are built differently. So Histerion must purge this world, and Oblivion must do his part." Breveros explained.
"I feel that to be true..." Mechiel answered.
"Ever since that time that the powers of Oblivion were causing people to forget about me, the anger and fear of the Charmed Fallen awoken in me. I can't hear its voice. But at the same time, I can feel the urge of the world to forget. The desire of the Charmed Fallen to be remembered even by the people of this world is growing stronger. And when Listrel meditated on the Code of Plants, I felt the powers of Oblivion weaken. Kyros is right. If we want to weaken Oblivion, we have to remember more! What about Calaminus? What if you make us remember the events here? What if he tells us stories about the world that he saw?" Mechiel asked.
"That' wouldn't work," Calaminus answered.
"There is a difference in remembering and knowing. If I told you what I've been through, it isn't remembering." ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
"Then in that's the case, then what else CAN we remember? Everything that we can remember is from the gods and fallen that have died here! So there's nothing else to remember!" Lea argued.
"There is still a way!" Kyros smiled.
"There is?"
"There is a lot to remember! Our past here!" Kyros answered.
"Our past? We can't remember it! Are you suggesting we find the Brimstone Beast that has our souls?"
"No. Our souls are here with us. There can only be one soul in the timeline and one existence. When you died here, your souls were recreated and transferred across time when Calaminus turned time back."
"Then wouldn't that just be knowing? It's like we're circling back to Calaminus's answer." Lea frowned.
"We'll find out, won't we? Mechiel. In your past life here... You were a Vampire Queen of great power. I suspect that someway or the other... the Blood Calamity still became your host!" Kyros revealed.
"What...?!" Mechiel was amazed, and even the Blood Calamity was surprised.
Suddenly, there was a light trembling all over them. It was as if the entire universe quivered.
"That...!" Lea was amazed.
Mechiel closed her eyes as she could feel her soul quiver. The desire of the Charmed Fallen to be remembered appeared once more.
"Kyros is... right! It's not just.. knowing. It really is remembering. Knowledge of the past not directly related to memory will create ripples that affect memories. I can feel it..." Mechiel glanced at the vast distance, and something within her was awakening.
"I was... the Blood Calamity in that life!" Mechiel realized and turned to Kyros.
"Kyros...! Who was I in my past life, exactly?"
"I don't know who you were. What I did know was that you were called a Queen among Vampires. You remained that same vampire slave who served the Steele family all my life. Unfortunately, our family lost you a bit earlier. The next we saw each other, you had changed so drastically that I didn't believe it was you. But then again, I also changed a lot. You probably didn't recognize me at first. But somewhere along the line... you probably figured it out."
"I... I died saving you!" Mechiel suddenly cried out as he recalled. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄o𝐦
At that moment, another trembling in the skies began.
"It's working!" Lea was amazed.
"This proves it! The memories of the gods and fallen are not the only things that can be remembered! We are not beings of the Unrecorded Pages. And no matter what, our existence here is still tied in the Recorded Pages! Remember what Histerion said! There are things that Histerion has to record in the pages of history. Our mission is to do something that will force Histerion to write something in the Recorded Pages! But how was it that he knew only we could do it?"
"Because we are of the Recorded Pages... Only we can make that possible."
"Exactly! Lanthanou attacked us when Lea began to remember! Hems is a special case as he has Brimstone! You could say that his transmigration to this world was hidden from Lanthanou that even though he remembered, it didn't draw out Lanthanou! That's another weapon we have against Lanthanou! Mysterion!"
"Can you use it now?"
"No. I still don't understand Mysterion. It's still a mystery to me..." Kyros sighed.
"Then let's focus on what we do know! Even if the people of this world learn of the memories of these gods and fallen, it won't call Lanthanou to act out! But if it's us, people tied to the Recorded Pages... it will hurt him! And we can learn vast amounts of things! Things that you know!" Lea urged.
"Breveros! Tell me what happened here! Tell me the plans of the Eldrich! If I find out what the Eldrich's plans are, it will change the progression of things in the timeline in the Recorded Pages!" Kyros had a huge grin on his face.
"The past? But what will that do? You won't be remembering anything!"
"No. But it will reveal more understanding to my memory. It would be one thing if Calaminus told me about his adventures so disconnected from mine... But if I understood the things about your plans, it would allow me to see my past differently! The same goes for Lea! If she hears about the secret plots going on behind the scenes, it may cause her soul to be angry!"
"That sounds far-fetched. But perhaps there is a chance for my knowledge to hurt a powerful Fallen. I guess it's worth a shot!" Breveros chuckled.
"Hurry! Your memories will be affected by Lanthanou's power!"
"I understand! What happened was... Ah!" But then Breveros felt that his memories were being yanked out, and he fell to his knees.
The power within the world began to change. This time, Kyros did not forget the attack as it affected Breveros.
"Lanthanou! Calaminus! Use Time Stop!" Kyros quickly ordered as he harnessed Time Surge and fed energy to Calaminus's Soul Core.
The power of Time stopped the flow around Breveros, and Kyros quickly stabbed his sword on the ground and unleashed the Brimstone energy in his sword to create several pillars of Brimstone that surrounded Breveros. The power of Brimstone began to protect Breveros, and several strange explosions occurred nearby.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Breveros revealed several wounds that Kyros was now able to 'remember' were there!
"Wounds?! How?" Kyros cursed.
"Ahhhh!" Breveros shouted as strange dark energy could be seen appearing over him.
"Enemy attack!" Kyros shouted and harnessed Brimstone to attack the energy.
BOOM!
"Lanthanou! He's attacking us! Lea! Mechiel! Be on guard!"
Breveros was trying to remember what he didn't know. Lanthanou was already secretly destroying his memories. And when he finally tried to remember, it made him feel the impact of the soul attack.
The moment the pillars of Brimstone surrounded Breveros, several screams were heard, and several dark, impish creatures with deformed faces, horns, small wings, and a black tail were retreating.
"Memory Eaters! I remember them now! Kyros! These are soul beasts! They hide in the darkness! Use light!" Calaminus called out.
"[Skotos Eis Phos]! Kyros quickly activated his power, and a powerful light appeared and rose to the skies.
Then, the dark beasts were revealed, and the forest was full of them!
At that moment, Mechiel and Lea saw themselves impaled by several small spears that these dark imps inflicted on them. However, they kept on forgetting that they had been attacked!
"Ahh!" Mechiel shouted as she remembered the pain. The beast was cunning and knew it could not kill them even with an attack to the head. And so they were attacking the body and slowly stabbing everyone quickly.
"No one... can remember!" An angry cry could be heard from above as a dark door could be seen where countless more of the dark imps were moving inside.
"To battle!" Rachel ordered as she saw the beast.
All the nearby warriors were already fighting as some of the weaker soldiers nearby had already died from the wounds that these dark beasts made.
Liathel and Gradius were awakened from their trance as several pillars of Brimstone appeared around them and revealed some dark beasts about to attack them!
"You little imp! How dare you disturb me from learning the powers of the Dentro!" Liathel raged, and a single slap sent the creature up, its bodies scattered into nothingness.
Gradius was also awakened and saw the horrifying swarm of small, winged imps and charged for battle.
