Ascension of the Nephilim

Chapter 307 - Decree Of Necros



Pergo and the minions of Destiny made their plan and prepared for the grand attack that would utterly decimate the forces of the Nephilim.

The odds were stacked against the Nephilim and his team. Heralcus had revived his army. Although the division of Pyrestarter was lost as their souls were destroyed in the Crossroads, the total strength of the revived army was still twice stronger than it was before.

More Champions were born, and some of the Champions became Commanders!

The Commanders had received greater power that allowed them to have a stat increase of over a hundred stat points compared to the commanders of the Lowland kingdoms! The original Commanders were now Crown Potential.

The Cardinal had also received a tremendous boost by devouring the main head of the Okto-Khefali. He finally reached the potential that only High Crowns would.

Heralcus received tremendous blessings that his magic and force were stronger than ever. Around him were massive ice creatures that continued to stand guard.

Through the souls that Heraclus had, he imbued it and stitched the souls of the various souls into the body of the Okto-Khefali. While the head contained the power and might, the body contained tremendous vitality.

Heralcus had several massive souls, which he would summon to make his attacks. It was these same souls that attacked Kyros. These required massive mana to manifest and make attacks. But now, Heralcus had the right base material, which was more than worthy to act as hosts of these souls.

Heralcus, being a Necromancer, not only knew how to revive and add life to the dead, he could create monsters on his own and add life to it.

Using the main body of the Okto-Khefali, Heralcus managed to craft a creature. Even though he was just a Cardinal, Heralcus had the working knowledge that only Crowns and Conquerors had! And so, with the Decree of Destiny that rippled from the future, he easily created a creature that could constantly carry all the souls he had.

It was a hydra. The hydra had four heads, each bearing one of the strongest souls that Heralcus had. This would allow Heralcus to have these beings to his side constantly. Since these beings had a body, they had already found means to grow stronger in the dark.

The Shade Lord was vital in these plans. As the entire army consisted of Dark Dependent beings, the Shade Lord would constantly feed on the pain and misery of the souls. This, in turn, allowed him to create energy.

The essence of Destiny allowed the Shade Lord to grow and receive tortured souls which he would feed upon.

And so, the power of the Shade Lord was now sufficient to fuel the entire army.

Pergos had begun to open the rip, and after a day and half a day, he was finally ready to open the last part of the void and send the armies inside.

"The last wall is present. If I destroy that, the door to the Temple will open.

"We will not waste any time. That Nephilim has shown miracles that surpass logic. Although it is impossible, I will fight him in the most cautious ways possible. We have strong forces, but who knows what lies he will spout to make my men fight among each other? I will break that wall. Then, together with my Commanders, we will release a massive attack and destroy everything on the other side!" Heralcus decided.

"You spoke of a power that invoked the Code of Greater God Astra? Then so be it. They should have a strong defensive spell!"

"Yes. So our first attack will be an attack similar to the Planetary Bombardment spells of Cherubims and Celestials! We will fuse all our power together and make that attack! It should have the power equal to Conquerors! Once performed, I will activate my Corruption and use the Decree of Necros to revitalize our energy and lead the attack immediately!"

"An impressive plan! I cannot think of a way of how the Nephilim will resist such a combination of attack!"

"I won't leave it to chance. The Nephilim taunted me and risked his life to lure me into that place. Whatever traps he made should be enough to kill a Cardinal! And I won't give him the chance to activate it! The Temple may have the power to resist the attack. But an all-out attack from my team will at most compromise the strong defenses. And even before they can use whatever tricks to recover, we will charge in with all our forces! Not a second will be wasted!"

"Good! Then begin your attack! Destiny's praise awaits!" Pergos smiled.

The army of Heralcus gathered. With his mighty summon that would equal a Cardinal spell caster, he stood ready.

His original Commanders stood next to him—all stronger than ever. Three new Commanders stood next to them.

A vampire, a Giant, and a skeleton stood in the ranks. The army stood behind them.

"Army of Heralcus! The battle of Middle begins with us! Our victory will resound across time and will be the sure foundation for the victory of Lord Destiny and Lord End! Every beginning must have an end! Let us shatter the rebellion of Fate and Beginning! Let Wisdom end! Let Love End! Let powers end! And let us be the End of things and attain Eternity!" Heralcus declared.

A massive roar occurred as the minions of Destiny uttered praises each in their tongues.

A black orb appeared at the top.

Heralcus was the first to chant. And then Neteri the Shaman, then Eredus the Vampire, and then Faust, who was now a Lich Commander.

The power of the black orb grew stronger and stronger.

The Shade Lord took action and drew out his power within all the minions of Destiny.

Soon, the power of Qara, of Lucas the Grendelor, of Shellcross the Crab Commander, and the other Commanders, Champions, Captains, and the rest of the army was drawn out.

A tremendous power that even the Midlands would fear have appeared.

Only Conquerors could wield such magic!

The wielding and harnessing of the spell continued, and an hour had passed. And finally, Heralcus moved towards the massive dark spell.

"Such a beautiful magic!" He praised as he touched it.

The massive darkness responded to him as he wielded it. And slowly, the dark ball began to move.

Heralcus carried the darkness and threw it towards the last wall that would rip the space and create a way into the Temple of the Nephilim.

BOOM!

The last spatial wall was broken, and the attack exploded on the other side of the Cross Roads.

"Go!" Heralcus shouted, and even as a miniature black hole erupted on the other side, the army charged in.

"By the Decree of Necros! I call on the Corruption! [Somatos Ous Thanatou]! Give life to that which has ended that they may live for Eternity!" 

The heaven-defying power that instantly refueled the energy of an entire army consisting of ranks up to Cardinal level occurred.

The last bits of the energy that Destiny sent were used up, and the forces of Heralcus were once more back at their prime.

They roared and charged through the rip in space and entered the dark land on the other side of the Crossroad.

As they emerged on the other side, their shouts of courage and power ended.

For all of them, from least to the greatest, all saw nothing.

"Wha-what?!" Heralcus froze.
