Ascension Of The Nephilim

373 Fire to Reflect Light

Kyros was using the power of the darkness to conceal himself. It was a power that exceeded being cloaked but had some form of transparency.

With his speed and the power of Time assisting him, Kyros was able to move at a speed that was on par with Commanders that have Cardinal potential.

The Brimstone Knight form of Histerion began to fight and clash as his blades met the attack of Kyros.

Around Kyros's sword and shield was a thick layer of darkness.

But at each strike of the two, the darkness would tremble and be purged, and the layers of darkness were quickly being drawn out.

Kyros kept on fighting with Histerion and was pushing Histerion further away.

The two battled, and Histerion was so pleased with the exciting fight that the Brimstone beasts didn't interfere with their battle.

Just beyond the place where Kyros and Histerion fought, Listrel positioned herself in the very center of the battlefield. This was the place where the most brimstone beast charged through.

Mechiel and Lea had positioned themselves further to the sides, taking their stance near the oceans.

Listrel saw the approaching army and a giant brimstone beast that approached.

"Time to test it out." She chuckled.

Listrel began to harness her power to create a massive Force of energy that covered her and was imbued all over her body. During her time training, she tried numerous attempts to resist the massive Brimstone.

As a human being, she was generally weaker than the other enemy races, especially the Grendelor race, who boasted superior defense and had no need for armor for their powers naturally emerged out of their skin. Listrel alone would likely die against Lea. And she had to bridge the gap with the use of magic, weapons and armor, and her knowledge of Force.

But stripped of all the blessings, Listrel didn't have time to train in creating defensive magic. In the days inside the accelerated field, she began to plot out how she could fight against an army. She knew that in the battles that she would face, using her armor and weapon would consonantly damage it, so she could only focus on Force.

Her main advantage was that while the world had no light source, the Brimstone energy acted as a fuel. Her body was trained to naturally have the power to absorb light and grow in it. In her training, restoring that power was the step she needed.

Once she was able to slowly gather energy from the heat and light of the Brimstone, she began to create a unique Force technique.

She was already a genius, and with Kyros's guidance, she managed to do something that even surpassed Kyros's way of handling Force.

She was able to compress the Force to the point that she managed to create a thin blade that contained five layers of force energy. The layers of Force became something visible that it was as if a layer of glass covered her.

The glass was thin and small at first, but soon, Listrel could create an entire armor of glass, and even her sword had a thin layer of glass around it.

Listrel roared as she charged forward and challenged a giant Brimstone beast even bigger than the ones she and her team fought.

The Brimstone Beast suddenly opened its mouth and shot out molten lava towards Listrel.

Listrel didn't retreat but raised her shield and took on the lava attack.

The Glass Armor on the shield changed form and became a large pyramid-shaped shield, and the molten attack struck the tip of the glass pyramid.

The lava slid off to the side, and the strange Force Energy that Listrel created in the form of Glass was able to throw off over fifty percent of the heat and reflect it away.

With such an increase in her resistance to heat, she did something she couldn't do before when she fought a Brimstone Giant beast like this one. Listrel charged forward and used the tip of the pyramid to strike the core of the Giant Brimstone beast.

"ROAR!" The Brimstone beast roared in pain and stumbled as Listrel's Force armor allowed her to pierce through the core and burst out at the back. The Brimstone Beast fell as the Brimstone energy on its core began to leak out.

Listrel smiled as he stood and watched the numerous Brimstone beast charging at her.

"My Force Armor can resist up to Champion level Brimstone Beast, huh?" Listrel took note of her might and made several slices, and cut away the remaining portion of the Core.

She then slapped it and sent the remains of the Core towards where Kyros was.

She then took her sword and faced the horde of fast Brimstone Beast approaching.

"[Mirror Wall]!" She shouted as her Force Energy erupted and created a mirror wall behind her.

The Mirror wall's angle was set so that the reflection of all the incoming beasts was pointed at her. The reflection of the heat and light from the incoming Brimstone energy became light that fueled her.

As a Light Dependent creature, she was someone who could gain more and more energy through the light.

"[Divine Provision]!" She chanted as she activated the skill that she had learned and used for so long.

The power of Light was creating a source of energy for her.

"Never fight a demon in hell or a Holy Knight beneath the sun..." She quoted a famous saying in the Planesworld as she could feel the surging of her power. Unfortunately, the energy she needed to create the Mirror armor and the mirror wall was being compensated by her enemies.

This was her answer to resolve all of her weaknesses. She created a new kind of Force Energy as she was inspired by the power of Kyros's Force Paladin style.

"I am Light Dependent. Unfortunately, I can't take in Brimstone, but I can take in the reflection of the fire you make!." She smiled as a strange white mist began to appear over her and was becoming similar to the form of the Templar that Kyros showed her.

"[Mirror Maze]!" Listrel shouted again, and several small walls of the mirror began to appear. The sudden appearances of mirrors created a confusing terrain, and the rushing Brimstone Beast began to ram on these walls or each other, destroying their formation.

Small walls of mirrors would suddenly appear, and the speeding creatures thumbed and fell on them.

FWIP! FWIP! FWIP!

A wave of arrows landed and killed the beasts, but unlike before, where the next volley would take several seconds, the next wave of arrows happened in less than a second.

"Fire at will, High Bows!" Arathen, the leader of the High Bows, was hovering just above the ground and was suddenly pulled back up.

A hundred-men squad of the Elite High Bows had rubber cords tied over them, and they were using them as bungee cords to spring them back up.

The archers released and would shoot enemies, and right before they would reach the ground, the bungee cord would spring them back up to safety.

This allowed Listrel and the rest to have close-ranged archers that could shoot and make quick attacks and maintain a safe distance.

All that Listrel had to do was keep the squads safe and charged forward to fight and kept on erecting mirror walls to slow the charge of all enemies. With her ability, she was able to slow down the enemies and fight for a long time to hold back the army.

"Keep assisting Lady Listrel!" Arathen shouted as he watched the battle at the sides.

Mechiel was floating over the battlefield, and her form was made of part blood and part water, and her size looked double it.

As a vampire, she had the power to create a Blood Sword. But Mechiel used the principle to create numerous darts using water.

"Time to blow these beasts up!" Mechiel laughed and flew up as her water wings flapped and shot out numerous water darts at the approaching beasts.
