Ascension of the Nephilim

The Emberdons were going to reveal one strong attack. Kyros watched silently as the mages made the arrangements.

The skeletons and lich that had joined were all called to participate.

Demerus began to give instructions as to what to do.

"In short, you are all to send bestow the magic towards us. We will be distributing you all equally among the teams. I hope the books of the elements have given you insight on how to mold your magic energy, at least to assume that form. Do your best in molding and forming it, and give it to us." Demerus instructed.

As the group continued to make preparations, Aron turned to Martha.

"Is this alright? Wouldn't it be better to save this attack for when we fight again? What happened to all that talks about only showing our aces when necessary?" Aron asked.

"I believe that this is part of Lord Kyros's plan. They don't know that we have a time accelerator in this Temple. I believe that with the powers and improvements we've made, by the time the war begins, this attack will change into a whole new different kind of attack. If we use this half-baked attack, Destiny will prepare against it."

"I get it, but this is our trap. Destiny will underestimate this attack!" Aron understood.

"It's the same for all of us. This whole plan of Kyros is quite detailed. Let's hope that the Emberdons can put on a good show.

The Emberdons quickly discussed the plans.

"Triona. As you are the only one capable of wielding Light for this wheel."

"No problem. We have a Light Core! While it seemed to be locked in creating golems and could not leave the Temple, I can still draw out the energy from it. I'm actually looking forward to it. Unfortunately, no mage has managed to wield the light to make this attack." Triona assured.

Branze and Diana watched at the side. Diana turned to Branze, wanting to say something, but Branze shook his head and smiled.

"We'll wait." Branze mysteriously answered, and Diana nodded.

"Alright." Diana smiled.

"Mages!" Demerus called to those they trained.

All those who held the Novice of Elirium scepter moved in position, and the Skeletons were arranged into another.

All that could wield elements of specific nature were placed behind certain members of the Emberdons. The Emberdons were forming a circle and began to prepare for the spell. 

As they tarted, a powerful ring of energy was being gathered inside the Temple. An explosion of pure magic energy began.

"I'll start. We will be making the Convergence of Elements from Wind, right?" Stellya asked. Her elemental affinity was that of wind. And she had finally managed to wield it effectively.

Stellya raised her hands, and the power of wind began to gather. The Emberdon Energy Wave was one of the attacks they created by solidifying their elements in one place. Everyone would be wielding it to shoot a powerful attack. They were confident that this attack could even harm Commanders of the Lowlands. But now, they were using this time to test their newly learned theories.

Demerus harnessed his power, and the green skull of the Entropy emerged. The power condensed right next to the ball of wind, and the two slowly met.

The moment the two elements touched, the Emberdon's all smiled.

"It's working. Who would have thought that merely rearranging our elements would create this effect!" Faye laughed as she harnessed her power, the next Element next to Entropy.

Lightning emerged and connected with Entropy.

"My turn! Hunter! Help me out." Triona smiled and wielded the energy. She was tasked to perform two elements and therefore had to ask help from Hunter, who had a Fire Core.

Hunter obliged and joined in, as did several Skeletons

"Just draw out the energy and let me handle the rest."

The Emberdon's watched carefully. This was one of the most critical moments to create the Convergence of Elements as Triona, who had the alignment of Fire, was the best candidate to wield Holy.

Fire emerged out of Hunter, and Triona then drew it.

"Now light..." Demerus watched.

Triona held the Light Core given the Mardock and drew out the energy in it.

"AHHH!" Suddenly, Triona felt great pain.

Everyone was stunned. They saw the light rejecting Triona.

"What?! Why is the light doing that?! Fay exclaimed.

Demerus frowned.

"I... can't wield the Light!" Triona shouted as she tried to harness it.

She was the one who would wield Fire and Light as she was most compatible with wielding it. But as she harnessed the energy from the Light Core.

Suddenly, Branze stepped inside and released his power.

BOOM!

A massive trembling occurred as a powerful wheel of elements appeared around them. The link of light was complete, and the energy ring stabilized.

"Master Branze!" Demerus was stunned.

Despite having no elemental core and only using Force energy, the power that Branze created merged perfectly with the forming elemental wheel.

"Oh? What an interesting ability! I can't wait to practice that!" Aron shouted excitedly.

"What pure power!" Mezal was amazed.

"Wielding light is not easy. But allow me to step in and take on this role." Branze volunteered.

Kyros watched the screen and was amazed.

"So this is the curse. Wielding the light element, which was supposed to be easy, has gotten so difficult. Unless one is a Steele or is a Nephilim, they can't easily do it. But why did my mother show ease using it when she tried it back then? Is it because of her past life?" Kyros wondered.

With the light complete, the group worked on stabilizing it as the power that Branze was using was Force energy.

Triona explained how they would attack Branze and what to do, and Branze was quick to learn.

All the while, Kyros was listening to the words that Triona explained.

"Hey, Calaminus. The theories that they are saying have some differences to your teachings..." Kyros teased.

"Oh, give me a break. I can tell that the elemental theories written in those books may be something that the creator of the Celestial Code had! Obviously, it would be more refined and complete than my knowledge! Besides, I only dabbled in it." Calaminus frowned.

"I guess I will need to house a debate like we used to grow." Kyros laughed.

Mezal stepped in and revealed Earth energy through his elemental core. Mezal followed the same step that Branze did. Many of the Skeletons were positioned behind Mezal, and they fueled their energy to create a thick Earth Element.

"We're missing Brimstone..." Kyros observed.

"That's the rarest of all elements after all."

Following Earth, Aron stood by and released his force energy. This was another critical moment of the process. This attack relied on the theory that the Steele family naturally had the power of steel.

The force energy appeared, but it was as if it did not merge with the wheel.

Everyone was frowning.

"I guess... we can only do this much and skip Steel." Demerus sighed.

"Wait... Give me a sec." Aron frowned.

"Condense your force energy to be harder, uncle. Harder than Earth. Envision making a suit of armor in your force just like that Crab Commander did." Kyros spoke.

Aron focused and began to do as instructed. The Path of Combat revealed its ways, and the force energy was suddenly taking form.

BOOM!

Steel element had appeared. 

"Great!" Ressi rejoiced as she brought out her Ice power on the one hand.

The Lowly Lich that Kyros recruited was there.

"I shall take care of water." The Lowly Lich harnessed his energy.

The elements of Ice and Water merged with the massive energy wheel.

Martha stepped in, and Puff emerged.

"We're all that's left. It seems that instead of shooting an arrow, it'll be better if I focus my all on pouring out the Space energy." Martha closed her eyes and drew out the power.

Puff also concentrated and began to harness a massive amount of Magic Energy. The darkness that he gave was the first that connected to the element of water, and finally, Martha's energy moved in and fitted itself between the darkness of Puff and Wind of Stellya.

The Elemental wheel was forming. Suddenly, the Temple erupted in light.

The Library of Light quivered, and a book shot out of the shelf.

"What?!" Branze was amazed. He only focused on reading the elemental one book as this was the only book he could read. The rest had strange language which could not be understood.

The book began to open, and everyone involved in the process went into a trance.

Outside, Kyros also saw the vision.

It was on an old woman walking throughout the cosmos. Her size was of great size. It was similar to the hulking form of Kyriachos that Kyros saw or the massive form of Hyperion that the Steele family saw in their vision.

"The Severance of the Universe. The Separation of the Void. It has made this Universe empty and blank. Though Veiyos had taken the first step and has formed the way to move forward, the darkness and separation sadden the dark space before me. I call on the Celestial Elements! I call on the Codes and Corruption. I call on Soter and borrow your light! Let the space have cosmic bodies to exist and brighten the darkness! Let this light distract the distance and let all creation perceive that there is something near them and that they are not alone!" The old woman declared, and suddenly the space around her trembled.

Elements of all forms began to gather in one place. As the elements converged, a powerful light shot out from the void and truck the gathering elements.

BOOM!

"Let there be stars in heaven! Let the embers of this cosmic body give light to those nearby and seek unity!"

A star was born, and all over the universe, massive cosmic objects appeared, creating flickering lights that covered the heavens.

The vision ended, and everyone was once more back in the Temple, and Kyros was watching outside the dome.

"I knew it! They are descendants of a god as well!"

"Who was that?" Kyros asked Calaminus.

"That was Astra. Greater God of the Stars."

"Astra, huh? It seems the Library of the Light has more books for me to read now." Kyros grinned.

"Everyone." Kyros suddenly called out.

"We'll talk about what you saw when I get back there. For now, it's time to shoot!"
