Ascension of the Nephilim

Kyros, Mechiel, and Breveros led their army that traveled on foot. The rocs could not carry the number of men they had, and the Highland's flying beasts had nearly been eradicated in the previous battles.

"They were the beasts who would save us in many battles. Whenever there were Siege Cultivators among the Brimstone Beast, those who could fly would be sent to conquer the Siege Cultivators. And so, we have very few beasts remaining. They are also the primary target of the Brimstone beast in each clash." Breveros explained.

Next to him were several members of the Eldrich.

All were Cardinal levels who had surpassed their limits and grew strong and skilled enough to be geniuses.

Even in such a dark situation, Kyros did not lose hope. The truth was, he knew that there would have been a way for Lanthanou to spy on them in the attack as there would be a beast that would be hidden from memory. Lanthanou could easily lock a certain space in the area, make people forget this small space, and hide a Memory Eater there.

But even then, Kyros chose to play out the scene with all earnestness. There was no choice in his perspective.

Kyros was betting his victory on the seed he gave to Listrel and hoped that behind it was a mystery that was so important that it could change the course of the battle. And so, he did what he could do in front of such adversity and began to awaken more of their memories.

"Tell me about the start of your war? How are the Dark Shine Kingdom involved in advancing and attacks all those years ago?" Kyros asked.

"The Dark Shine Kingdom? That's a very nostalgic word." One of Eldrich smiled.

"I served the Eldrich who was sent there. General Argos was sent to the Dark Shine Kingdom, and our Lord created a breach to send three Eldrich, including me, to empower any kingdom in the Dark Sea. The Dark Shine was the closest when Lord Impyernos opened the Life and Death Containing Field, covering the entire Planesworld. We spurred the king and told the king of the secret behind the Airom region."

"That it is the burial grounds of many dragons?" Kyros asked.

"Oh? Lord Miracle already knows?"

"In my Timeline, I already met an ancient dragon that somehow survived the entire calamity. He was reborn and now serves my family."

"A dragon? Do you happen to know his name?"

"Is it important?" Kyros asked.

"Lord Kyros. Like how Endoxus and Olethros received their power from Dentro and Hydron, our Eldrich clan received its powers from a Heretic Dragon!"

"Ah... Those Heretics. Yes. I don't know the real name. I am told that his name is Dorothy. That's what Martha called her at first."

"Dorothy?" The Eldrich was confused. Why would an ancient dragon be called Dorothy?

"Isn't Dorothy a woman's name?"

"Not since the rise of gender spectrum in 2022." Kyros shook his head.

"What?"

"Er... Sorry... That was a weird thing to say. But he is now called Puff. But I don't know his real name. Martha did say something about Puff being his grandpa."

"???"

"But I realize that it may have been related to some deceptive plot care of Calaminus. Is there a specific dragon you were looking for?"

"Yes. We sought the dragon that birthed our darkness. That was why we led the Dark Shine Kingdom to believe a powerful dragon was left there. But even before reaching the Lowlands, we found the dragon we were looking for!"

"Wait! Then the dragon you're looking for... Is it the Dark Dragon Tiamat?"

"You know of Lord Tiamat?" Breveros was amazed.

"I know that it was in the Dark Sea. Puff told us."

"Yes. That was the very dragon God that bestowed our powers! The Netherlands used to be where Lord Tiamat kept the conquest of the God-Born and the Fallen-Spawns."

"God-Born and Fallen-Spawns. These are beings that are not gods or fallen but who have power that surpasses all Celestials."

"Yes. They were between the mortals and those at the levels of gods and fallen. Vampire Ancients are one example of these beings. Lord Tiamat killed many dark Fallen-Spawns and some God-Born which later became the Netherlands. I believe it was later that the Ancient God Dentro planted the Ygdrassil to create the Planesworld."

The space around the world began to tremble as Kyros was able to connect a lot of things.

"So that's it! That's why there was a pause in the conquest! Tiamat was found and paused the war!" Kyros exclaimed.

"You got it. The Tiamat was a cause of this issue. General Argos and I reported finding the Tiamat and forced Lord Impyernos into the Planesworld. But Lea Olethros was there and stopped us from acquiring it. But we knew that if we fought the King of the Netherlands, we would lose again. So we leaked this information and various kingdoms within the Dark Sea, the different races of the Dark Dependent who were not loyal to the King of the Netherlands, and our Eldrich clan waged war to acquire it. This caused a great pause in the skirmishes made in the Lowlands and the Midlands."

"So that's why after my family died, the orcs stopped attacking!" Kyros realized another important mystery in the past.

When his kingdom fell from the attacks of the orcs and his entire family was defeated. But after that, there was peace for several years. Then, only the orcs were waging war, and there were fewer dark-dependent kingdoms involved.

"I guess that the mission to find the Tiamat will be a dangerous one... Martha and the rest won't be able to acquire it if they move in alone. Our exit must have caused turmoil in the kingdom since Listrel and Lea have disappeared. So the Tiamat will be an important aspect in the future..." Kyros pondered.

"Who won the war to claim the Tiamat?"

"We pretended to lose. But the truth was, the Tiamat was already corrupted." Breveros revealed.

Meanwhile, back in the Highlands, Rachel also told Lea the story.

"So father died because of the Tiamat?"

"Yes. This happened a little while after I was born. The Tiamat, the source of power for the Eldrich, had already decided its next host. Impyernos was the one it wanted and only fed on father and made him crazy. It was also the reason why you died. To save father, you became the blade of the Eldrich and fought for them. That included the great battle between you and Listrel."

BOOM!

The area trembled as the memories surged.

Lea was clutching her head.

"I remember now... What a battle!" Lea chuckled even though the pain.

At the same time, the trees around them also trembled as Listrel had finally mastered the power of the Code of Dentro.

Gradius could only sigh in defeat.

"No wonder they said Sister was a genius I could never compete with..." Gradius could not understand all of it but had already benefitted from it. Like Listrel, he also had a seed in him now in his soul realm.

​ The secret seed that Kyros created had opened, and Listrel saw the strange encryption that appeared as it flashed out.

"...What?" Listrel frowned.

"Calaminus... what does this mean? Can you explain this to me?"

"I was born for this..." Calaminus read and felt a great excitement surging through him.

"Hmmm? Why is time speeding up?" Listrel was confused.

"Get Lea and Rachel! We're going to save Kyros, so I have to explain this quickly." Calaminus ordered.

Listrel quickly followed.

Lea, Rachel, Listrel, and Gradius waited within the area where time was accelerating.

"Prepare for a blow-by-blow, word-by-word explanation that will detail every second of the Lord of the Rings: Extended Edition. Ahem..." Calaminus cleared his throat.

"The world is changed... I feel it in the water... I feel it in the earth... I smell it in the air... Much that once was... is lost. For none now live, will remember it." Calaminus began the epic tale.
