Ascension Of The Nephilim

Chapter 246 - Strength Of Unity

An incredible force was repelling the dark shadow creatures with great ease.

With one charge, the shield pushed quickly, and the shouts of the shadow creatures could be heard echoing out.

The greatest weakness of these dark creatures is that their natural shadow form meant they had very little weight and mass. Therefore, the wall would not have worked when fighting any other army as the force required to push away the front lines would be great.

The shadows were being thrown aside, and many fell to the great abyss and fell into the dangerous Life and Death Containing field where they would all be forced to be trapped forever.

"Keep pushing!" Kyros ordered and took advantage of their success. The speed and power of the charge were causing the forces on the edges to be thrown out. Others situated in the center of this moving shield were being crushed by the power that they would be trampled and would disintegrate.

A simple charge was permanently killing so many of these shadows either by crushing or sending them on the Life and Death Containing Field below and around the land that was formed.

The charge continued, and finally, an angry voice echoed from the distant back.

"Stop them!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Loud sounds of erupting force were heard.

"More Champions!" Faye exclaimed as she could sense the power. But unlike before, several were moving out immediately.

The energy came from the portal at a distance, and five figures could be seen flying through the gap either by flight or by making massive, fast jumps.

BOOM! BOOM!

The sonic boom of their flights could be heard as these mighty Champions appeared.

"Their strength! They all have stats that are Cardinal potential!" Ressi exclaimed as she used [Gauge] magic.

The five were quickly crossing the gap.

Kyros saw it and gave a simple order.

"Hold! We have to defend that!"

"Follow my lead. I'm already confident that I can use it." Branze explained as the energy on the shield became different.

Diana was the first to understand Branze's intention and began to add thick force energy with powerful holy light.

"As expected of mother. She spent only an hour in the Temple and has already harnessed her Force energy..." Kyros could feel the mighty holy power that even surpassed Mezal!

Diana harnessed her defense and tried to send her force energy to Branze, who would harness it as his own. The power of Paladins was amplified the more they were through a powerful skill among Light practitioners, which when used by Paladins becomes the strongest defensive power known by the mortals of the Planes World.

This power has never appeared in the Lowlands as the war against the Vaux Imperial empire has never happened.

The scope of the defense expanded out, and Mezal and Branze also contributed their energy to create the defense.

"[United We Stand]! I can't believe I'm seeing it being used here!" Faye was amazed.

"Everyone! Follow!" Branze added.

Mezal and Aron started it, and the nearby knights knew what it was. It was as if a massive wall was created, and they could pour in their power.

The Coven including Grugnyr, and the two Champions, also poured their Force energy to aid the wall despite not being Knights class or Paladins.

The attacks of the five champions reached.

The massive wall grew with immense energy, and at the last moment, right before the attack struck, Kyros activated [Skotos Eis Phos] and released Holy energy that helped solidify the defenses.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The consecutive attacks of the Champions reached, and the large wall trembled.

The Steele family felt the massive weight of the attack and was pushed back as their charge was halted.

The power of [United We Stand] stood the assault of the five champions.

"They did it! I can't believe they did it!" Triona shouted.

Cracks were appearing at the large wall, but it still stood strong.

But in the impact, all the Steele family felt it. The Path of Combat and Foresight allowed them to realize it.

Calaminus felt it and laughed.

"I knew it! It is her! Their power tried to make the universe forget forcibly! But I remember it! I have forgotten this promise, but now that I know their names, I remember the story too!"

The five champions that appeared were all cultivators of different races. There was an insect-like creature with arms that were bulky and thick. He looked like a beetle, and his giant arms looked like a heavily armored knight.

The other Champion is a large hulking creature with a massive club, thick red skin, and an ape-like feature.

"Ogres, huh? It's my first time seeing it." Mezal identified the creature that struck right in front of where Mezal stood.

"What is this?" Aron frowned as he watched a grotesque creature with a very deformed arm that carried a massive metal ball tied to a chain. The chained metal ball was lodged deep into the [Wall] that Branze made.

The five exerted great effort to attack it, but they didn't expect the power of [United We Stand] to appear.

They took several steps back as the power of the Holy power made them experience a backlash.

The remaining champion was an orc and a tall lizard with great spikes on its back.

"[United We Stand]? How nostalgic. The large grotesque creature sneered.

"Keep attacking! It's about to break! They can only defend!" The Ogre shouted as they harnessed more energy.

"Retreat five steps!" Branze ordered, and the group took five steps as the wall began to repair slowly.

"Quick! Attack!" The grotesque creature shouted and spun the metal ball to strike the wall.

The wall's form suddenly changed. Mezal retreated further, creating a curve.

SMASH!

The attack of the Ogre missed. Mezal took a few more steps and laughed at the ogre.

The other champions, like the beetle and the orc, also missed their attacks.

The Champions began to attack wildly. But despite the deformed shape of the walls, it still managed to hold. The attacks of the Shadow champions were not united, and it allowed the wall to stand.

"We can't break it down!" The orc shadow cursed.

"Retreat. You are not attacking together, causing it to be ineffective.! Siege creatures. Attack! Destroy that wall! All five of you, keep them busy!" The Commander's voice could be heard once more.

The Champions followed the order and retreated and waited for the Siege Creatures to make their attacks.

"Stop the advance of the Paladins." The Commander's voice gave another order.

The Steele family had grim expressions on their faces as they heard this.

Four bright lights appeared from the back appeared. Two were glowing red, another had a blue light, and another had a bright yellow color.

"Two Fireballs, a Frost Orb, and a Lighting Hammer!" The Emberdon Champions identified the attacks.

"Stay where you are! We have a plan!" Kyros discretely ordered the Emberdon Champions.

"Knights! Push forward!" Kyros shouted those that were charging all roared.

"What?! That's crazy! Those attacks are powerful!"

"We know! We got it!" Kyros answered.

"Men! Push forward!' Kyros ordered.

"Attack the wall! Don't make them take another step closer!" The ogre shouted.

The massive shield led by Branze charged forward once more as the Champions began to attack it to stop the charge.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The shield could not push forward and was thrown back as the Champion shadows would perform their attacks in unison.

"What are they planning?!" Stellya asked.

"I don't know. But the Steele family acted as if them continuing that defense will work!"

"Can you really handle it?" Mezal asked through the Message orb.

The Emberdon's heard it and listened.

"Steele family! Those four are powerful piercing attacks! The composition of the magical energy of those four isn't meant to explode but to pierce through!" Faye explained.

"Relax. I know what it is. And it's not four. There are five. The last one is made of Dark energy. You can't sense it from where you are, but we can." Kyros explained.

"Five?"

"Yes. Father? Are you sure?" Kyros asked again.

"Yes. Live it to us." Branze answered.

"Alright." Mezal laughed.

"Prepare our counterattack. Martha, aim for those cultivators first! Gojirrah, Reptilia. It's time to reveal your true power. We have to kill these champions as fast as we can." Kyros ordered. He sent the message through the Coven and even gave the instructions of what to do.

At that moment, the Steele Family sensed it and could tell what the Coven was planning.

"How convenient. The path of Combat is telling me the Coven's plan." Mezal secretly laughed.

Aron was also preparing for his attack. He had greatly lessened the power he was pouring to the wall and preparing for an attack.

At that moment, the four visible lights and the fifth dark lights were shot by the Siege Cultivators.

Five energy bolted across the distance.

The five dark champions that were attacking to stop the large wall from advancing started to retreat.

But at that moment, the number of people defending dropped down to two. Everyone but Branze and Diana switched to make offensive attacks.

"Awaken... Katara.... Bearer of Burdens!" Calaminus found himself saying this as he saw the two destined for eternity defend against the attack.
