The power of the Supernova Blast and the Dark Dome clashed. The powerful sounds continued to rumble as the Supernova Blast pierced through the thick dome.
But suddenly, the souls that could be heard screaming grew louder and louder as the power of the Dome continued to increase.
The massive power that harnessed the souls of the land acted out with great speed. The power that provided a massive defense could be seen resisting the powerful beam that breaks down the defenses that Cardinal Heralcus used with Destiny's power.
The moment the power was sent out, the Emberdons and the Skeletons who were pouring out their elements suddenly slumped down on the ground as the energy was taken from them.
They were the ones who triggered the attack to be sent out, and the rebound attacked them. Martha, Mezal, Aron, and Kyros only added energy, but the mages responsible for performing the trigger felt the magic being drained from them.
Still, the portal closed up as Martha still felt drained from pouring out all that energy.
"Aunt Martha. Prepare another portal. I need the Temple to send me energy to refuel myself! Holy Beam should work in being able to restore the depleted magic!" Kyros ordered.
"Lord Kyros. The Temple has grown slightly dimmer!" Martha relayed.
"Calaminus?"
"I think we still have enough to send you some energy. But for some reason, it drained the energy of the Temple!"
"That attack wasn't normal. The Temple helped us send that attack through the Separated Realm with everyone's united efforts at work. The powers of separation should have diffused it. But it seems that the Temple stabilized the attack we sent here. You saw it, right Calaminus?"
"Yeah. I saw it. You guys just used a Champion-level attack that could destroy a high-level Cardinal spell defense. That's an attack that can scale two whole levels!"
Kyros waited as the smoke, dust, and flames of the attack began to disperse.
Inside the dome, the Darako and Qara stood in the path of the attack. Despite not being able to see, the beam was actually headed straight for their Cardinal. It broke through the defenses of Heralcus, the Dark Dome, but luckily, the Commanders were able to defend it so that not a single heat reached Neteri and Heralcus, who continued to immerse themselves in the spell.
"That brat!" Qara raged as she saw the boy.
"Qara! Calm yourself! That attack wasn't normal! We would have all perished if not for the protection of Cardinal Heralcus! So stay near the Cardinal and defend! Our hope is that that attack surely cannot be repeated again!" Darako reminded.
Kyros revealed the sight to everyone inside the Temple.
"Everyone, Emberdons... Behold your success. That was a defense that only high-ranking Cardinals can create! And I'm not talking about physical armor defenses. I'm talking about Cardinal-level fortress fortification defenses! The enemy activated it right before we attacked." Kyros praised.
"If someone... hadn't distracted us, the enemy wouldn't have time to activate their defenses." Martha frowned.
"Erm... Sorry." Calaminus laughed.
"True. If it wasn't for Calaminus, we would have destroyed it and killed all our enemies. But Calaminus wasn't doing it by himself. Something prodded him to do that."
"Destiny?!" Martha was amazed.
The Blood Calamity was so affected that even Mechiel frowned.
"No. Of course not. Destiny has no power to influence the champions of Fate directly. They need mediums to do that. Right, Blood Calamity?" Kyros smiled.
"Hmph!" The sour expression vanished, and Mechiel was in control.
"It wasn't Destiny that influenced Calaminus to act stupidly! It was Fate!"
"Fate? But why would Fate do that?" Branze asked.
"She wanted this to happen so that Destiny would reveal and use up another of its aces. You may not feel it inside the Temple, but the darkness that covers this entire world has lessened. The dark clouds that prevented the light of this world's dome weren't the only darkness, but that Necromancer and that Shaman have altered this world, leaving a curse." Kyros explained.
"Woah... That happened?!" Calaminus was amazed.
"I can feel it here. The weight of the sins committed has lessened. Fate helped us because she was confident that we were sure to win. She did that to make Destiny act."
"We are sure to win?!" The Lowly Lich was amazed.
"Yes. I will delay their spell one last time, and we will be headed back there to train. Our powers will grow stronger, and Destiny will grow weaker. Destiny will think that that was our ace, not knowing our real intention. Now, for the delay. Martha, ready the portal to help me recover. If the Temple can contain the Supernova Blast and send it here, it should be capable of giving me energy. Calaminus, you know how much energy I need for this trip, right."
"Yeah. I understand your plans."
"Good. Let's get started." Kyros smiled.
Kyros flew up to the sky and revealed himself before the Commanders.
Qara and Darako saw him and prepared to fight.
Kyros took a deep breath.
"HEY, CARDINAL! I HEARD THAT MY AUNT MADE YOU A EUNUCH!" Kyros shouted loudly.
The power of Fate Challenger was employed.
Fate, who was watching from another realm, laughed at the insult and decided to aid Kyros as she allowed her
Cardinal Heralcus had immersed himself so much that he had even cut off his eyes and ears. His recent actions were only because Destiny ordered him to do that. But the shouts of Kyros that used Fate Challenger reached him.
His eyes opened, and he had an enraged look. But he managed to hold his anger back. Great killing intent filled the air, and even Kyros could feel it.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" Darako and Qara shouted as they raged with intense anger.
"Stand your ground! That is his plan." Heralcus ordered hatefully.
"That's right! Stand your ground, Commanders! Don't you know that your Cardinal doesn't have the balls to attack me? It's because my aunt cut it off as well!"
[Taunt of Tyrannus skill acquired.]
"Damn, son!" Calaminus was amazed at the insult.
The Cardinal was visibly trembling but closed his eyes once more.
Kyros had long maxed the level of his Taunt. But now, he managed to acquire another strange power as his power in darkness increased.
"Oh? Interesting. Tyrannus? I wonder what's this god's history?"
"He's the first Fallen to have slain another. You could say he is the source of hatred."
"No wonder." Kyros smiled and closed his eyes and harnessed Fate Challenger and this newly acquired skill.
Kyros felt as if the eyes of a strange dragonic beast were watching him from a great distance. The great dragonic beast smiled and allowed his hatred to be bequeathed on Kyros.
The Corruption of Tyrannus was slowly growing in Kyros.
"You plan to raise the Commanders back from the dead? How can you do that if you can't even raise your little Champion?" Kyros laughed.
"Oh, snap!"
BOOM!
The massive power of Cardinal Heralcus erupted out, and he zoomed towards Kyros with great speed.
The speed of his flight caused even Qara and Darako to be thrown to the side as Heralcus zoomed with great speed.
The sudden departure created a shock wave that even affected Neteri.
"My lord! The spell!" Neteri cried.
"Exit, stage right!" Kyros laughed as he fled.
Pronto and Time Haste were activated, and Kyros flew with his great dexterity that flew out of the horizon.
"DIE!" The Cardinal shouted and chased after Kyros.
Kyros flew and was headed towards the portal that led towards the original place where the Temple stood.
