Chapter 550 Return Of The Eldrich
The group moved in for a while and was headed towards where Kyros said Daradiel would be. But as they moved, they realized that Branze's prediction had come true. However, the power was no longer there! Dardiel was elsewhere!
"Everyone. We have studied and seen the power of the Celestial power. The mist should have hindered us, but now with our Unholy form, we are able to use it to our advantage. It's safe to say that Daradiel isn't where Kyros said he would be on this map." Branze pointed to the map as everyone gathered.
"So we should use that method!"
"Yes! Assume formation! We have to be quick! Once the Celestial powers appear here, they will surely be sensed by the rest of the gods and fallen!" Branze ordered.
"We used it in the Middle, and that masked the energy because of the seals that divided the worlds! But now, here in the Planesworld, it will surely alarm many! Use it and maintain the form for half a second! It should be enough for us to sense the direction of where Daradiel is hiding!"
Everyone nodded and prepared to cast the magic.
Demerus slammed his hand on the ground, and an energy conversion circle began to form and created numerous complex rings.
The Emberdons moved to their respective position.
Mezal, Diana, and Branze saw the formation and could easily identify where they should be.
Every member of the Emberdons was in position and released their respective elements. But their power was geared toward the creation of three simple elements.
The Earth gathered. The Fire raged. And the Wind blew. The three elements were combined and compressed, and finally, they created a celestial ground. A piece of rock appeared with all three elements as one.
It was as if the Emberdons were creating a new planet.
As a celestial body was created out of nothing, a ripple spread across the world.
Daradiel sensed the power so close to him.
"Finally." Daradiel smiled as he sensed the power and responded by releasing the energy of his Code.
One second was all that they needed as the energy reacted, and they sensed the direction of where Daradiel was. The energy was east of where Daradiel would have been in Kyros's life.
"Go!" Branze shouted, and the Emberdons released their power to cause everyone to gain the power of flight.
At that moment, the battle above the Planesworld took a surprising turn as Sheolrah sensed the direction of where the Celestial Code.
The Highlands had all their forces and teams ready to intercept and create another layer of shield to protect the incoming attacks.
Even as the gods and fallen increased, the Highlands was confident that they could block it.
Gandor watched the battle in the throne room of the king. Ever since the battle began, Solas Soter, Gandor Ellisium, and Pyreking Fafnir watched.
The king watched with an ugly expression.
"Gandor. Are you sure of this plan of yours?"
"Princess Listrel says that Fate and Destiny are fighting and that Destiny will find a way... If one Impyernos or the Water Goddess attacks, we could block it. But if the three were to launch an attack... the barrier would break. So, the message she gave to us that could not be unsealed suggested that we do not aid the Planesworld's barrier from resisting the attack."
"And that would break the barrier of the Planesworld and cause large holes to appear for months! Why are we allowing this? The planets could invade us! The Eldrich will return!"
"I agree with Listrel's plan. Of course, I think this was made by that man, the Nephilim. He delivered a message that will change the direction of the future, and I recommend following it. Listrel said that the message was covered in power called Mysterion and could hide things from Destiny."
"Does it make sense to follow this plan?"
"If I were this Destiny, I'd make all three of those gods attack at the same time. That will drain the resource of the Highlands. We would be drained, and the invasion would continue. So rather than block it, we should only create a weak shield and let them pass. And instead of defending, let's focus on the purging spell to attack the three. It won't kill them, but it will weaken them!"
"We will be fighting against Sheolrah." Solas Soter frowned.
"You're the priestess of the Church. Why aren't you happy that we would be going against such a dark power?" Gandor laughed.
"Listrel is confident and told us this plan. It doesn't matter now if we attack Sheolrah and take a more active role and side with the Ancient Gods. This war is just a small part of the real battle. So if we want the Planesworld to survive, we trust the Nephilim." Gandor explained.
"...You seem to have trusted this man."
"You're daughter is very prideful. Lea Olethros is the same. Yet both have bowed to serve Kyros. Let's trust the man that won the heart of your daughter, my king." He observed as the battle between the three gods continued.
"...I understand. But what would force these three fighting gods to unite and attack the Planesworld? Are you sure that all three would attack together?"
RIPPLE!
"That energy!" Gandor exclaimed.
"A planet is being born! The Celestial Code! Greater God, Daradiel is still alive!" Solas Soter also saw the power.
The power instantly disappeared, but everyone could tell that it was from the Midlands!
Sheolrah was in the midst of battle when she sensed it.
Impyernos was frightened and thought that Daradiel was searching for the Charmed Fallen.
"The Celestial Code!" Thessalah also sensed it.
"If he gets the Charmed Fallen, then we will have to fight them both!"
Thessalah shouted and saw Impyernos aim his attack toward the Planesworld.
Sheolrah and Thessalah shot their attacks toward the Planesworld to break the great barrier.
A powerful light appeared and rebuked the powers of Code and Corruption.
But the two were shocked that Impyernos did not release his attack.
He raised his arms and triggered the spell he had prepared long ago.
From the dark moon of the Eldrich race, the depths of the planet erupted.
The fiery energy from the core of the moon revealed the eternal fire and the enveloping wind of Impyernos as it shot towards the Midlands.
The two goddesses realized that Impyernos was sending an army inside on another location.
As two powerful attacks were unleashed, the barrier that covered the Planesworld trembled and began to collapse.
Impyernos saw it and rejoiced.
"The raiding party is now an invasion! My descendants! The Eldrich has returned! We can finally burn this damned tree!" He laughed as he dove in.
Thessalah and Sheolrah followed.
"Will this really work?" The king of the Planesworld saw it and followed the message that he had heard sent by Listrel.
Gandor and Solas were preparing their spell, which would attack the three gods. The power that they wielded was only at the Celestial level and shouldn't be able to wound a god or a fallen.
But the king touched Peak Twig of the Planesworld.
"Arise, Planesworld. The Nephilim is here. The era of Middle is upon us. I, Elistre Protos Endoxos, guardian of the light, call you to save us."
Far in the depths of the Netherlands, where the king of the Dark Dependent stayed, Necron Olethros was also holding on to the Lowest Root of the Planesworld. He channeled his power and whispered to the root.
"Arise, Planesworld. The Nephilim is here. The era of Middle is upon us. I, Necron Olethros, Droplet in the Soil, call you to save us."
The two kings did as they were told long ago. Ever since Listrel and Lea arrived and spoke of the true nature of their races, Kyros theorized that the two could trigger a reaction from the Planesworld should they work together. And Kyros told the two princesses that the two kings could try a chant.
It was shot in the dark. But Dentro was alive and well. He even protected Lea Olethros!
Solas Soter and Gandor Ellisium used the spell. It was a life-detecting and targeting spell that used the life energy of the Planesworld itself to attack.
The light from the leaves of the Planesworld shot towards the three invading gods and fell.
Impyernos laughed and crafted a shield to protect himself from the attack.
Sheolrah and Thessalah did the same.
"You dare attack me and revoke the vows of neutrality in this war?!" Sheolrah roared in anger as she saw the attack approach.
But as the light approached, a faint avatar of Dentro appeared.
"You dare invade my... avatar? Do you not know the old advises that the gods and fallen speak of when it comes to war? Never... attack a god or fall in his realm!" Dentro laughed.
"What?!" Impyernos exclaimed.
BOOOOOOMMM!
The powerful attack struck the three, and their shields and defenses collapsed.
