Kyros continued to play the fun game of tag. 

With his dexterity, Kyros could even draw and create more energy formation circles thanks to the distractions of his shadow ghouls. And each escape he completes added on the frustration of Heralcus and the Commanders. Kyros's unbelievable dexterity and knowledge of creating complex energy conversion circles made them helpless.

Every time Kyros would teleport somewhere, he would alter it that changed it from a destination of where he would be teleported and make it a point of teleportation. He would then move in secret with his dexterity to hide on another point to create another teleportation energy formation circle.

But the enemies were more guarded that Kyros could not use his [Holy Beam] to kill. So he switched and used a variety of weapons. He would use a bow and arrow, kill through magic, alter the energy formation circle to create an explosive circle that reflected Force energy.

The means were shocking that Shellcross caused the deaths of several of his men when he attacked it.

His tough shell resisted the attack, but those nearby were not lucky.

"Move the soldiers ahead! Make them run through this region! Commanders! Guard every front! Champions, be on guard, and keep your shields up! His dexterity is still fast!" Heralcus cursed and gave the orders.

The armies began to hasten and move.

"You foolish Nephilim! I know that you are trying to force us to waste more of our energy! However, your mystery of how you escaped [De-Spacito] is of no concern to me! You are still too weak to damage my Commanders or me! And our power will eradicate that Temple!" Heralcus roared.

"I shall take all that you value and kill it before you! I shall take their souls and ensure their suffering for all eternity!"

"You know well than to taunt me, little Necromancer! You know the blood that runs in me. If you want to learn how to insult someone, learn from the Master!" Kyros's voice was heard.

It echoed throughout the valley, shocking everyone.

"What?! Where?!" Darako frowned and began to use his dark powers to search for the source of the voice by expanding his darkness.

"You sure you want to feed me, Shade Lord?" Kyros laughed.

Hearing his words, Darako suddenly stopped.

Qara and Shellcross each found a source of the voice. It was yet another energy formation circle that began to send the voice of Kyros echoing out of the field.

But the two were hesitant in destroying it, for their previous hasty actions led to the death of some men.

"Look at you! You are Commanders with Crown potentials! And you, little Necromancer, ought to have a High Crown! Do you dare taunt me? Where is your boast? Where is your confidence? Your first Commander was a Dragon who had Crown potential! The rest of you used to only have a High Cardinal's potential! Yet they died!"

[Taunt of Tyrannus activated.]

Kyros's taunt was not used to make them charge madly. Instead, it was a way of lowering the confidence of the Commanders.

"And those that faced us ended being far more damaged than my men! Do you know how many died in your attacks? None! Not one of my allies died! Destiny tried to take my uncle's limbs, but that bat got his wings clipped! Destiny tried to kill my grandfather and give him a death where he would find himself to be useless, and yet he lives, stronger than ever!" Kyros continued his tirade of words.

Heralcus kept urging his men forward and made them move faster as he sought for the source of the voice.

"You have all failed Destiny! Where were his decrees? Where did his words go? Fate sent a group of rag-tag individuals that were barely Champions, and yet, look at you now? And you still have the audacity to make threats? I am right here! Why haven't you killed me?" 

"Ignore his words!" Heralcus gnashed his teeth.

"Ignore my words? Then try to ignore this! This will be my final warning! All of you, listen up! If you continue to move forward, I will tell my allies to attack and kill your army! I will command my allies to kill your Commanders! If you keep that march, I will show you what the Nephilim's army is made off!" Kyros taunted.

With the taunt, some of the marching soldiers started to feel fear.

"His warnings are without cause! March on! Do not delay! This is another one of his tricks!" Heraclus began to harness the power of his ice that rippled around the army. The ice magic began to affect the souls, turning them apathetic towards the world around them.

"Tricks? Yes, those are tricks! I've killed several Champions right under your nose with parlor tricks! You fools walked right into my trap! The moment you saw the arrow, you went towards it and, in doing so, set the direction of your steps! I've laid a few little tricks on the path you walk now. But in the future, you won't see tricks anymore! But it's a trap that definitely can kill Commander level !" Kyros laughed.

The fiery words of Kyros struck deep into the hearts of everyone, and they somehow stopped marching.

It was a terrifying blow against Heralcus. His strict orders were disobeyed.

The Commanders all raged and shouted to make the army move, and they did after that.

Kyros continued to taunt and give warnings.

"Oh? You still can walk, then I shall give you yet another final warning! A super final warning! Take one more step, and it's KABOOM! Goodbye, army!" Kyros laughed.

Once more, the armies hesitated. While no one stopped, some trembled at the last warning, causing Shellcross to smash a soldier to bits.

Kyros continued to laugh and make threats, and finally, Heralcus found it.

"There! The convergence of all energy formation circles!" Heralcus shot a massive ice attack.

BOOM!

The energy formation circle was destroyed.

But no sign of Kyros.

"You missed!" A coarse laugh rang far ahead of the path the army was walking towards.

"What?! He's not there?! Impossible!" Heralcus couldn't understand how Kyros evaded it.

The real Kyros was not the one who gave that last Taunt..

He wasn't even talking. Through the power of Calaminus, Kyros created recorded audio files and placed the small energy source in those formation circles. Everything that everyone heard was just a recording.

The real Kyros was busy making more energy formation circles on the path ahead.

"Cardinal! No matter what you do, I'll always be a step ahead of you! Think, you fools! [De-Might], [De-Magic], and [De-Spacito] were on your side! Yet you couldn't even chase after me! Was it a curse, or did you accidentally cast a blessing? Even before your armies reach our front doors, there have been many deaths on your side! Even with the raw powers of my team, we will still fail against you should this battle end in a melee! But despite all your advantages, you have lost! Surrender now, Heralcus! Save your forces for another battle! Just accept defeat! This is your super-duper final warning. This is as final as the super-duper hyper final thesis paper you present during your defense! Oh. Wait! Shot myself in the foot there. In most cases, that's not super-duper hyper final since it undergoes more revision after..."

Disregarding the last odd parts, the words of Kyros cut deep into Heralcus and the Commanders.

"Pay no more attention to him! March! Let's move off course! His traps lay ahead. Then we change direction!" Neteri finally shouted.

"Why give in to our pride! His taunts jeer us, and in our humiliating form, we refuse to move! Let us take the longer route!" Neteri suggested.

"...Go." Heralcus agreed.

The army quickly moved and changed course. They took a sudden sharp turn and quickly raced over the mountain.

"HA! HA! HA! This was my plan all along! Now you really are in a position for annihilation! Behold, Heralcus! I do not lie! Now your Commanders are dead! In Ten... Nine... Eight...Seven...."
