The entire magic formation was a powerful gravity spell used to pin the five frogs down.
Nightwing aimed for the main body and used his magic to attack the very soul.
The other five frogs were struggling and squirming as their souls were attacked and devoured by the demonic darkness. Bar-Mammon created a soul and physical form that had Unholy energy. It was a form that was pseudo-Holy and could resist holy energy. But Unholy had a great weakness to darkness.
And the attacks pierced through the frogs. Finally, the bloody blades began to drink.
The five frogs squirmed, but the gravity magic heightened their weakened state.
Bar-Mammon's main body did its best to resist. But he had divided his body, and he could not fight back against Nightwing's singularity form that harnessed a grand amount of energy.
The power continued to drain through, and seeing that his plans were working, Nightwing then held on to observe a strange item that was teleported to him.
It was an arrow. But the arrow was made of light. It was physical and hard. But it had no other element or form other than light.
"What the...?"
When Nightwing used [Holy Beam], he received the item and could feel a message radiating from it.
Nightwing took the time and observed the arrow. He was instantly able to sense the message from it.
"An arrow of light? But I'll need a bow..." So Nightwing thought to himself and could somehow sense a strange link with the source that shot the Holy Beam. He felt as if he could summon a bow anytime.
"AHHHHH!" Bar-Mammon roared, trying to activate a black hole to devour everything and turn his form into that of the darkness.
Nightwing was awakened from the actions of Bar-Mammon.
"[Skotos Eis Phos]!" Nightwing shouted.
The attacks of darkness suddenly became light, and as the attack was from the inside, the forming darkness that Bar-Mammon was gathering was instantly shattered, and he squealed in pain. It was too strange! The elements switched instantaneously again! It was like turning water to fire in a flip of a switch. Bar-Mammon couldn't believe it and gambled on it, but the light exploded inside.
"NO! I CANNOT DIE LIKE THIS!"
"You were too weak, to be honest. I was prepared to do a few more shocking twists in case you would have your counterattacks and counterschemes, but it seems the first scheme worked perfectly." Nightwing chuckled.
"How...?! How did you invoke [Sacrifice]?!" Bar-Mammon demanded.
Up the mountainside again, Angelian and the rest were teleported at the last moment when the frogs made their attack.
Angelian couldn't move. Krysta was frozen stiff.
Monica and Sherah were no longer holding them down and were walking toward Nightwing.
Angelian's tears dropped.
She had seen it all too clearly.
Her heart felt the heavy weight of death. It was a strange and painful feeling.
As the power of De-Heart vanished, the new emotions of guilt and concern for others heightened as she was somewhat new to the sensation. Her heart grew closer and closer to the point that she began to like her allies in the short time she spent with them. However, her heart could no longer discern clearly and wanted to save them desperately.
But the moment Nightwing arrived and took command, she knew it was over.
"You didn't see what happened?" Nightwing teased.
"I tricked you and them into thinking I was an angel. I had an interesting misadventure before going here. A Necromancer Sacrificed himself for that dragon! Could you believe it? That Necromancer gave his dark, filthy, selfish soul to Angelian willingly! All out of spite to kill me. So I thought that that was a perfect method to grow stronger. I'm trying to get to the Crown level as fast as I can. And this place was the perfect chance!" Nightwing chuckled.
"A son of Greed, the son of a Phaulos, was here! Light and darkness. Wicked and good. The polarity of these things was perfect. The devourer and the savior. I told them to give me their everything. And they were willing. While it wasn't perfect, I managed to harness what is half of the True Sacrifice. Many of them thought they would die as they drained their life of Force and Magic. It's your fault for creating such a powerful form too! Had they not sensed a power that scared them, they might not have gone all out. And at that peak emotional state, I killed them all. And sacrifices happened! Too bad, this is only half of what true Sacrifice is. But this is good enough." Nightwing then increased the power as his body began to release tremendous amounts of blood.
"AHHHH!"
"Your soul... is mine!" Nightwing laughed.
"I... will not die!" Then, the main body opened its mouth and shot a large black ball.
The ball exploded, and a large mosquito burst out of it.
Nightwing cursed, and a blood clone was about to leave when the surrounding Mammons began to explode.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Nightwing was caught in the series of explosions and coughed as he glanced around.
He turned towards the Antibodies, who were still in a daze at what had happened.
A split second later, they sensed the command of Bomos and then chasted after the fly!
"Stop that fly!" The Antibody shouted as several sonic booms erupted.
The Antibodies gave chase, but Nightwing could see that the mosquito was too fast.
"Bar-Mammon focused on speed..." Nightwing sighed.
"Idiots. If that mosquito flees, your secret will be revealed. Welp... I guess I should try this arrow." Nightwing closed his eyes and began to use the instructions in the link.
The instructions were left by a woman who spoke respectfully to him. But this woman kept calling Nightwing 'Kyros.'
Nightwing reached out, and a bow of light suddenly formed. But as Nightwing held on to it, he was shocked.
The power of the bow had powerful spatial energy. But instead of being close to the elements of darkness, the spatial powers were that of light!
"Interesting... Bow Veiyos. This is her bow, just as that woman told me!" Nightwing smiled.
Nightwing held the bow and aimed with the arrow of light that was bestowed on him.
The mosquito was moving fast and had outrun the Gigantes' Antibodies.
Nightwing released the arrow.
FWIP!
The arrow vanished.
STAB!
The giant mosquito was stunned as it felt a strange sensation on its chest.
Bar-Mammon glanced down and saw the arrow's tip protruding from him.
"AHHHH!"
The light began to spread, and he began to plummet down.
The Antibodies charged in and caught Bar-Mammon.
Nightwing raised his hand, and the arrow appeared back on his arm.
Nightwing released the binding power as the bow and arrow disappeared.
"That... was amazing. Too bad it consumes a lot of attacks... But still..." Nightwing pondered at the weapon and the transmitted message from the woman.
"Cornerstone Nightwing." The Antibodies approached.
"Our Master Bomos wishes to meet with you again." The Antibodies bowed.
"Alright. Let's wait for my clone. He is with Christopher." Nightwing explained as he turned to Krysta.
"That's... all you have to say?" Krysta glared at him.
Angelian couldn't even look at Nightwing.
"Ah, my ladies. Such a complicated bunch you are..." Nightwing laughed.
Christopher later arrived and was amazed as he saw the Antibodies. Nightwing had finished sending out the corpses of the frogs but kept the main body of the frogs and the mosquito for himself.
The group moved towards the brain, and Nightwing used his powers of Mysterion to cover the group.
"Impressive. You stood before me as a Cardinal of the first level. Level 51. But now, you've reached level 55!" Bomos smiled.
"Sacrifice. I got inspired by a recent fight and decided to test it. It worked."
"It worked because of Deception. You have the power of Lies."
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "I do."
"And... yet you are not a liar. How can you be so close to such wickedness and not be corrupt?"
"Not a liar? He's a liar!" Krysta cursed.
"No. Not by the definition of my words, at least. Truth and Lies. Light and Darkness. You really are the Nephilim."
"Yes. I probably am." Nightwing sighed.
"You won the fight. Why so troubled?"
"Nothing. I just met with my past allies. And boy... they are strong."
"Strong?"
"Yes. Very strong. Aside from those girls who are probably my wives, the mage has done tremendous research. I have people experimenting with Codes and Corruption and have melded them to their desires. In any case, I hope my recent fight impressed you, Bomos."
""Impress is a very... weak way of putting it. Bar-Mammon wasn't even at a level that you considered a threat!"."
"He isn't." Nightwing chuckled.
"Then I guess I should do more than just offer you a home. I want you to help me find and gather all those who are Neutral. I will agree to be your mobile fortress. But I also plan to escape this battle and find more beings of True Neutral like me. "
"Fine. But you must follow my plans perfectly."
"Gather an army of Fate. I understand."
"Yes. Gather a secret Army of Fate. I will commit great crimes that will make Fate seek me. But I plan to create an Army of Destiny challengers!"
"Destiny?"
"Yes. I have already started some of it. But I planned to devour them and grow stronger. But now... maybe I can be a general of Destiny. And when I have gathered my forces, I shall use it to gain a seat among the Eldrich. And then.. I'll fight my former allies!" Nightwing smiled.
