Chapter 247: Strength of The Pair (2/2)
With the sword stabbed deep inside the creature, the Force energy that imitated Holy erupted out.
BOOM!
Reptilia and Gojirrah charged towards the two Champions in front of them. Reptilia challenged the beetle-like champion while Gojirrah attacked the large lizard.
Hunter, Avary, and Gregory rushed together to challenge the orc champion. The orc was still staggering from the knockback, and the three bravely attacked and laughed stabs and attacks.
Hunter's sword was glowing red with fire. He had received a Fire Core from the Temple and channeled the energy to his Blood Sword, and made the strongest slash he could make.
Avary and Gregory attacked the arms and legs of the orc to keep it from recovering its balance.
Scarlet was at the back and wielded the Novice of Elirium scepter, which she received and used her Lightning Core to shoot out a powerful bolt.
BOOM!
The attacks all landed.
The only champion that died was one that Aron and Mezal attacked. After killing them, the two continued to rush forward. They knew that Diana and Branze would lose consciousness from this.
The surviving champions began to fight their corresponding foes, and a battle commenced.
Kyros was still marveling at how the defense of his father and mother withstood the attack. He had landed next to them and instructed the knights who accompanied them to bring the two back.
The knights that had followed them agreed and began to move.
It was then that the shadow army began a charging assault.
”Emberdon Champions. Please launch one siege attack.” Kyros suddenly ordered.
Demerus immediately agreed and utilized one of his Charged Spells.
Massive energy began to gather, and a single lightning bolt shot out and struck the middle of the shadow army.
BOOM!
A massive explosion occurred. Unlike the former Siege attacks that emphasized penetrating power over wide-scale destruction, Demerus specialized in creating massive explosions, which paused and created disorder to the rushing shadow army.
Kyros had his eyes on the Commander. But for some strange reason, despite the loss of the Siege cultivators and how the tide was against him, the Commander remained flying in his position and was carefully examining everyone.
Kyros sighed and began to move forward.
The Shadow champions were fighting the Coven, but Kyros ignored the fights and kept moving forward.
Mezal and Aron also did the same. They walked forward and didn't even turn their backs to the battle behind them. Kyros also began to position himself so that he and his uncle and Grandfather positioned themselves in the path. Each stood in a strategic location, which divided the path equally.
”Why isn't that Commander attacking?” Aron frowned.
”He must be waiting for an ally or is maximizing our fights to gain more information about us,” Mezal answered.
The three readied for the charge of the shadow army, which was quickly reforming their ranks.
”Alright, Calaminus. What is up with my mom and dad?” Kyros asked as he had the opportunity.
”You couldn't guess what it was despite seeing it?”
”I could guess so. That power should be related to strength or vitality.”
”Close. It's actually Burden. I remember everything. Your father isn't just a descendant of Steele. He is the resurrection of one!”
”My dad is the resurrection of an actual son of Hyperion?”
”Yes! And your mother is the resurrection of a descendant of Kyriachos!”
”She's a Fallen?”
”No. She's human. She reincarnated as a human! Kyros, the two are called the First Curse and the First Vow. You see, when Kyriachos created the darkness, it created pain, sorrow, sadness, and all that. And all of these concepts of creation were created through your mother! She is Katara Kyriachos! The bearer of Burdens!”
”Burden... She bears a heavy burden...?”
”Yes! Think about it! Everything you experience in this life has to have its source. Emotions of all forms that have come to existence are formed somewhere. These gods reshaped reality. And your mother was the embodiment of pain and suffering. And so, she was destined to suffer and bear pain all her life. Her mere existence demanded her to fall into various forms of pain and bear such loneliness alone. And she did until your father came into the picture.” Calaminus explained.
