Ascension of the Nephilim

The entire world continued to create trembling noises as Kyros led the team.

They could feel that the more they remembered, the greater the number of memories surged.

It was as if the little memories that Kyros and Mechiel remembered created a wider hole for more memories to flow inside.

Kyros had a headache. He was not remembering, but he was now understanding so much more about the past that he was achieving the very thing Lanthanou set out to do when he tried to make people forget about the world of the Unrecorded Pages.

Kyros could now know the future in the current timeline he was in. But as he pressed on about the questions regarding the being that appeared and ordered Impyernos to wage its war, Kyros was now able to see how the power of forgetting was targeting a specific part.

It was as if the very memories related to the attack of the Eldrich and resurrecting the passageways between planets was a critical mission.

"Is Lanthanou serving End?" Kyros finally asked.

"What do you mean, Kyros?" Mechiel asked. She had a sour expression as her head was suffering from having strange memories jumbled up.

"It doesn't make sense. There has to be some purpose behind the concept of forgetting. He isn't doing this like Histerion is! I feel he is hiding something behind this battle we have with End! After all, things will never end if it is within our memory! The End of all will also mean the Oblivion of all!"

"Then Fate sent us here... to figure out something! Maybe like Histerion, Fate is hoping that we could trigger the memories of something!"

"Or someone! There could be gods and fallen that even they have forgotten! If Histerion is affected by Lanthanou's power, then all of them are! Mechiel! The Charmed Fallen's power... It urged me to remember her. If you have the Charmed Fallen's power, her vanity will not accept being forgotten! I don't think her Corruption lies in this world as she is an ally of End and Destiny! But try to meditate on that. Perhaps you can trigger that power and use her vanity to remember things!" Kyros urged.

"...I'll try." Mechiel nodded, and she closed her eyes to meditate. She started by arranging and deducing the numerous memories that now had flashed in front of her from the stories of the Eldrich. But she also brought out the power she trained right after the first fight against Lanthanou.

It was the call of the Charmed Fallen that despised being forgotten.

"Come on, past self... If you bear the Charmed Fallen... You won't want to be forgotten!" Mechiel pleaded.

At those words, a vision of Kyros appeared in front of her.

"By the power of Mysterion... Remember!" The vision of Kyros appeared.

Suddenly, the memories that Mechiel had already recalled but were sealed right after the fight against Lanthanou were brought back!

Thunders could be heard though no lightning erupted.

"Dark Lightning... It's reacting in this world. We must be remembering something that Lanthanou has kept a secret!"

"Is it... Lady Listrel or Lea?"

"No. The ripple is here with us." Kyros smiled as he turned to Mechiel and saw her crouched down.

"Mechiel!" Kyros was surprised, and she lifted her as she no longer had the power to speak.

Mechiel also clutched her head in pain as several memories began to overlap. So many keywords that the Eldrich said about their plans and the rise of the Vampire clans caused her to begin to see strange scenes of her other life in this world. And when she focused and harnessed the pride of the Charmed Fallen not to be forgotten, she felt a strange power being born within her.

She was starting to recall the years of suffering based on the stories of the Eldrich, and she was starting to remember scenes of places where she was.

A dark call echoed all over the universe. It sought to be remembered. But, it did not want to be forgotten. Its rage was apparent, and it was growing stronger and stronger.

And finally, she saw a familiar figure that appeared in her memories.

Mechiel was but a weak vampire on the verge of death. The Orc armies had moved according to the plans and instructions of the Eldrich. She was captured by the Orcs to be brought south of the Lowlands and was shipped off in the Dark Sea.

A band of brave men fought their way out and managed to kill the orcs, and began to flee back. They sought to return to the Dark Sea, but along the way, another ship of orcs attacked and sunk their ship.

Being the weakest form of Vampire, Mechiel could still survive the dark seas and swim through it, and survive yet another day. The dark waters had the energy that Mechiel could slowly absorb. But as a Dhampir Ghoul, she still required a lot of Light related energy and needed normal food.

She began to sink into the deep ocean as she had very little strength.

But as her memories brought her deep into that sea, there was a strange light. A dark red light.

And there, in the depths of the waters, the form appeared.

"It seems that Fate is kind." The form appeared and smiled at her.

Mechiel couldn't remember what happened next. But as she recalled that, the power within the Blood Calamity also began to tremble.

"Mechiel!" Kyros called out again.

"I was... brought deep in the Dark Sea!" Mechiel recalled numerous scenes of her life than began to flash out.

"What?"

"Xermolipi Phaulos... She... she was there?!" Mechiel exclaimed.

Kyros was stunned at Mechiel's words.

"Xermolipi Phaulos! It's really her! She was in the Planesworld! Her real body! It was somewhere in the oceans of the Dark Seas!" Mechiel exclaimed.

"The Charmed Fallen? But how? Why would she be dying? Isn't she one of End's allies?" Kyros was confused.

"She... was saved by Fate! I was... Fated to meet her!"

The moment Mechiel said these words, more thunder could be heard. With his eyes, Kyros glanced up, and he could see the dark lightning bolts erupting in the heavens above. It wasn't even the clouds that caused it but a reflection of a power unknown.

All of a sudden, the voice of Lanthanou was heard.

"You damned brat! How dare you remember that?!" Lanthanou's curse reverberated through the heavens, and the entire universe began to quake at his words.

Once more, the power of Forget began to apply as everything within the past seconds was being forgotten!

The quake ended, and everyone forgot what Mechiel had just said. What everyone remembered was Mechiel collapsing from the pain.

Dark lightning and thunder continued to echo out.

"This reaction..." Kyros cursed.

"We've forgotten something!"

"What?"

"It could only be it! Lanthanou has made an attack once more!"

As Kyros spoke, Mechiel trembled. She saw the quake and was the only being in the entire army that remembered what had just happened.

"You will forget!" A whisper was heard as Mechiel felt a great pain in her head as the power of Lanthanou was trying to remove that memory.

But the power and desire of the Charmed Fallen fought back as it refused to be forgotten or to forget what she acquired.

"N...no!" Mechiel fought back. Her memory began to return, and she recalled what plan Kyros set through the power of Mysterion. This was going to be her battle! The distraction that will keep Lanthanou busy!

Kyros didn't have time to speak to Mechiel as he sensed terrifying energy at a distance.

Kyros saw it and sighed. They couldn't move with haste and ordered the army to move at a pace that would not weaken or exhaust them. Kyros knew an ambush would come, and so he wanted his men ready to make an attack.

"They are here, huh... Hems... Send all the armies and attack the Omega Kingdom! With Lanthanou drained now, it's a perfect time! He won't be able to make us forget the way to the Omega Kingdom!. So abandon all defenses and rush towards it!"

"But Lord Kyros! What about you?!" Hems shouted as he heard Kyros's orders.

"This was one of the scenarios I anticipated. We don't have a choice now, Hems. The power of Lanthanou is too strong! If we figure out something to defeat it, we lose all memory of it! So we can only act in desperation now. Hems! Capture the Celestial Code! Lanthanou would be too exhausted from the consecutive attempts he caused the power of Forget to appear here! Histerion is here! I'll distract him!" Kyros ordered as he glanced at the distance, where the air was getting increasingly hotter and hotter.

Several figures could be seen approaching.

They were the strongest warriors of the Planesword!

They only numbered a few men, and Kyros's army vastly outnumbered these small men.

But the power that they wielded made even Breveros tremble.

"Histerion's serious, huh? He's even assuming a powerful form! I hope that whatever I left with Listrel can help us out of this mess!" Kyros sighed as he turned around.

"Everyone. I apologize. But it seems that most, if not all of you, myself included, will die here." Kyros bowed his head.
