Chapter 313 - Final Moments
The ice erupted, and thousands of icicle spears shot towards the Wings of the Nephilim.
But the Blue Squadron was already ready and created their shield. When Eredus created the dome, Ressi created an energy formation circle and created a small dome of ice that covered the wings.
Inside the dome of ice, another energy formation circle was being created. At the center of this formation was Martha.
The power of the Space Core began to tremble. In the days that had passed in the Temple, Puff began to absorb the power of the Space Core that was growing inside Martha. Puff had the experience of a lifetime. And now, he was not only walking the steps to becoming a Magic Dragon, but he was also correcting his mistakes.
The training he did and the reforming of his magical body in the Temple was of great delight for Puff. He could not imagine what power he would have once he had grown back to his peak. The foundations were set, and now he was training in one of the rarer elemental powers, Space magic.
Godhood and Fallenhood were also possible for him with all the Codes and Corruption available to study and read.
In addition to his training, the energy formation circle empowered Martha and harnessed all energy into Space Core.
Once more, Puff emerged in his Wyrm form. This time, only his head appeared, and it had a massive mouth that could devour mountains.
The ice shards were sucked into the mouth of Puff, and finally, the rising Meteor came into sight.
"Blow it up now!" Lucas shouted as he saw the massive Wyrm moving in to devour it.
It all happened too fast for Faust. The massive meteor was meant to explode out in the distance, but who would have thought that the massive dragon would immediately appear out of nowhere.
Eredus was still drained from his spell and couldn't attack the Wyrm.
The massive jaws mawed down and swallowed the massive meteor whole.
"You ate my [Final Judgment]?!"Faust roared. He didn't have the chance to cause the magics in the meteor to erupt.
"You called your attack [Final Judgment]? Then let me show you our attack!" Martha laughed.
"Behold, my mighty attack! [No U]!"
Puff drew his head back and spat out the massive meteor.
"FAUST!" Lucas and Eredus shouted.
"I can't detonate it! A strange space magic is disconnecting me from the Earth Energy of that meteor!"
"WHAT?!" The two Commanders cursed.
Faust and the Skeletons shot out their attacks at the massive meteor.
Eredus followed and shot their water and ice attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The attacks struck but couldn't destroy the massive meteor.
Lucas cursed and harnessed all the Force energy he had.
The power of the Force energy caused another trembling on the earth.
"The Force is strong in this one." Demerus could sense it.
Martha sighed and rolled her eyes. Although Demerus said it, he was unaware that his statement could give the author possible problems in the future.
Lucas used his Grendelor might and flew towards the meteor. Unfortunately, his tail contained all his Force energy, slashing out.
"[True Cut]!" Lucas roared. The memories that they saw about the attacks of the forces of the Nephilim drew inspiration to Lucas. While his attack wasn't as sharp as True Cut, his strong and explosive Force Energy compensated for the sharpness.
SLASH!
Lucas's tail whipped out, and it slashed through the meteor, halving it into two.
As the Space energy that covered it was removed, Faust immediately forced the eruption but limited it to minimize the damage.
BOOM!
The parts of the meteorites rained down on them, and everyone was focused on defending from the falling rocks.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Eredus then saw several red and green lights flashing towards him.
"Enemy attack!" He shouted and flew towards the lights.
BOOM! BOOM!
But suddenly, a black figure stood in his way and shot several dark attacks.
"Black Squadron! Gold Squadron Blue Squadron! Delay the Vampire Commander!" Demerus shouted.
"Orders received!" The three squadrons shouted and charged towards Eredus and the vampire army.
A gold-colored figure appeared and also shot lightning bolts at them.
The vampires shouted in anger and attacked the incoming black and gold ships, but several ice burgs appeared in the air.
The skies were busy with the battle against the three squadrons, and the ground forces were still recovering from blocking the incoming meteor shower. The powers of the Commanders and their Champions were revealed as they managed to perfectly defend against the meteor rain, leaving no one dead. But as that happened, a strong wind blew, and six green ships flew overhead.
The mighty wind caused the group to be distracted, and they took aim to shoot down the green ships. But unknown to them, the Red Squadron was already in position.
"We are in position. Orders, Commander?" One of the Squadron asked Triona.
"Make it happen."
A single compressed ball of fire was thrown down from the energy conversion circle that the Red Squadron had created. They had swooped in and was directly above the main army.
And that single bomb fell.
BOOM!
A massive fiery explosion burst out and struck the heart of the skeleton army of Faust.
At that instant, Stellya summoned a massive wind and created a hurricane in the middle of the battlefield, causing the fire to fly out.
The Red and Green Squadron began to use their attacks as they made a pivoting turn.
Wind blades and fireballs were thrown, killing more and more at the retreat of the team.
"Wings of the Nephilim! Retreat! The Beacon is set, and the attack has been launched! Let Lord Kyros kill them all! Cherish your final moments, forces of Destiny! You will die again!" Demerus laughed as he went on a full retreat.
Eredus saw it from afar. The Temple's arrow had turned into a funnel-shaped form, and a beam was being sent out of it.
"Everyone! The Nephilim is attacking us!" Eredus shouted.
The army was still recovering from the series of attacks and noticed the bright light.
Lucas and Faust survived the fiery bombardment without problems but froze as they saw the incoming attack. This was the same light that killed them.
"Behold the majestic power of the Temple!" Demerus shouted.
All the Commanders acted together and focused on defending. The Champions that survived the clash and even the Captains poured our their strengths to defend it.
The bright light finally arrived.
"[Cute Kitty Cat Beam]!" Demerus announced.
A thin, weak, pathetic, useless, unimpressive, small, disappointing ray of light struck the combined defenses of the army.
PITING!
It was like a coin being flipped over to a metal surface.
The light vanished.
"...What?"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With their guards set on this, the Wings of Nephilim sent a barrage of attacks as they retreated.
Firey explosions, lightning storms, entropy beams, wind Blades, and the iceberg that sank the Titanic attacked the unguarded forces of Destiny.
The Commanders were struck by various attacks and were thrown back. Some of the Champions were also struck.
None who were Champions had died from the attack, but many were wounded.
But as they recovered, they could see the fleeing Wings of the Nephilim disappearing into the distance.
There was silence.
Faust lost the most as his Skeleton forces received the fiery bomb. The rest were tired and drained from using their powers to block many attacks.
In that clash, they wasted magic and force energy, lost a huge portion of the mages in their armies, and failed to kill a single enemy.
"I can't believe plan Kitty Cat Beam worked. I was against it, you know. I told them, 'our enemies aren't THAT dumb.' I guess I was wrong." Martha sighed as she mysteriously appeared above the army.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"KILL HER!" All the Commanders shouted and attacked Martha.
Martha retreated and laughed as she began to evade the attacks from the enemy.
