Chapter 293 - Words Of Tyrannus (1/2)
Deep in the far edges of the dome, a massive hole was opened in the Life, and Death Containing Field...
The Necromancer Cardinal, Heralcus, led a mass exodus of his armies as the Shade Lord created a colossal bridge leading from the dome into that land.
The movement of the army was surprisingly fast despite their numbers.
”Draw in every bit of darkness that you can. Since we will be hiding in Middle, we should take all the darkness least they feast on it.” Heralcus ordered.
The Shade Lord Darako nodded, and a massive surge of darkness began to enter the rift that was opened. However, the light in the flat earth planet called Middle grew brighter.
The light around the
The Commanders moved in in bitterness as they knew they had been defeated. They lost several Commanders and nearly died and were now forced to hide after wasting hours on the world.
The power to alter the Life and Death Containing Field was beyond the power of any Cardinal. Not even Cherubims could do this! And yet, Destiny had provided this place.
The hole was like a tunnel, and it led to a floating piece of earth with a massive fortress stood appeared on the end of the dark road that the Shade Lord made.
”You were defeated?” A deep, hoarse voice called out.
The fortress had a massive tower in the center, and a large head appeared at the top.
”The Nephilim released a massive power that surpassed my ability to defend. I had to use the Soul Commander artifact granted to me, but it broke through it and the Dark Dome of Darako.”
”Such an attack exists? How strong was the Nephilim? Was he a Cardinal too?”
”No. The Nephilim himself was not even a Captain! And yet he had incredible speed that not even I can compare to!”
”What?! Impossible! He has not even attained a job and is already showing a Crown's potential?”
”Not just a Crown. He surpassed my own speed! He should have a potential that is a High Crown or a Victor's Crown as he would need over 400 Dexterity points to evade my attacks easily!”
”I see... So you have no choice but to retreat and resurrect the Commanders that died.”
”Yes. He revealed strange powers that could only be legacies of the Gods and Fallen that allied with Fate. We have to make haste and attack them before they get stronger! Pergos, do you know of a Fallen or God that could instill anger? His words made me mad, and I lost control!”
”Oh? So that's the Fallen. His strength might be explained through it. You must have been affected by the Words of Tyrannos!”
”Tyrannos? The First Undivine?! That explains it! That explained the rage I felt and the disgusting strength of that Nephilim! I underestimated him. I won't. Pergos. I need your help! This Nephilim cannot be allowed to grow stronger. That energy that Lord Destiny gave you. What else can you do with it?”
”The limits of Lord Destiny allow me to move in this place. I cannot help you outside.”
”Then help me here. I need to resurrect the Commanders and make them reach their full power. Anything less than that, and I will lose.”
”Not possible. My energy is reserved to keep this place protected.
Suddenly, the entire space around them trembled.
Pergos began to glow.
”Pergos?!” Heralcus gave a hopeful shout.
The light dimmed, and Pergos smiled.
”The Words of Tyrannos has echoed out to his realm. Various Gods and Fallen have felt it. So Lord Destiny has granted me another set of energy that he can send at this point in time. And... he is sending it all!”
Heralcus was amazed at the amount that Destiny sent.
”You may choose to resurrect those Commanders and even bestow the energy to the departed Champions to create more Commanders. You have to win this. If you lose, we will lose this place!”
”I thank Lord Destiny for his mercy despite my incompetence. But Pergos, I have another request! I also need you to find a way to cross the rift and reach the place where the Nephilim hides his fortress.”
”You want to cross this realm and attack the Nephilim's Temple in the Crossroads?”
