Deep in the barren wastnd, where the armies of the Brimstone beasts emerged, was a tall man with the appearance that looked like a young Histerion.
His heart was a red core that continued to ripple out a strange heat. He stood and led an army of Brimstone Beast of all forms.
These past four days were full of attacks and ambushes that slew numerous patrols in his armies.
The elves had suddenly acquired a means to fight back, and the general of the Brimstone Army decided to move back.
"It seems the Nephilim is quite capable." The man that looked like Histerion smiled.
"A pity that my manifestation can only do so much. It seems my Brimstone Clones will have a lot of fun for a while."
The army he led was prepared to kill the creatures far to the East. However, the defenses of the Minds were strong, and it took several Brimstone Generals to prepare.
But the arrival of the Nephilim dyed the war. Histerion''s power took over and began to take control over the Brimstone General, which now took his form.
A massive army prepared to wage war on the tall trees. A few thousand winged beasts flew to the skies.
A mighty army numbering hundreds of thousands of Brimstone beasts marched towards the massive tree. The entirend before the World Wood Tree looked like a tide of moving Brimstone!
Siege Cultivators as strong as Champions also moved, and numerous beasts with Commander-level strength caused the ground to quake.
Giants that were even taller than the creatures that Listrel and Lea faced marched on the ground.
It was a massive force that faced nearly thirty thousand elves, many of which couldn''t even fight!
Kyros nced at the approaching army. The Time eleration had stopped, and many of the elves were already positioned at the very top of the tree.
The return of their Force meant that they could take advantage of their height to shoot down urately.
Even the Brimstone Beast that could fly could not reach the great heights with their Brimstoneposition.
"This is it..." Lea watched from the great heights as the forces marched near.
"Can we do this?" Aubrey saw the forces they would face and could not help but worry.
"Hmmm... Things just got a little moreplicated." Kyros frowned as he could see the figure of a man in the distance.
The man flew up and shouted with all his might.
"Nephilim Kyros! It seems you have done well in this world!" The loud shout of Histerion could be heard.
Many heard it but could not understand thenguage.
"He is speaking in thenguage of the gods!" Aubrey was shocked.
"Calm down, Vegeta. Well, yeah. First Word. The firstnguage. So you''re not wrong in saying that." Kyros nodded.
"What is he saying?" Listrel asked.
"Oh, you know. World domination, wanting to kill us. Give me a sec. I think I can chat with him."
Kyros used his Force energy and used one of the horns of the elves that could create a booming sound.
"God Histerion. It''s a pleasure to see you here. I can''t believe that you would be my enemy! I suppose there is no other way to talk myself out of this?" Kyros answered back in First Word.
"Apologies, Nephilim. This is the world doomed to burn. You were sent in here. So we will naturally fight."
"So I have to face you, Histerion? Wouldn''t that be unfair? You are already burning this scroll, and now you must appear like this, and I have to fight you?"
"I wouldn''t say that you are facing ''me'' as in the god of history, my dear boy. This entire world is doomed to brimstone. I am not the same being that you saw. I do have incarnations here, but I''m not a god. I do not have the power of Fate and Destiny. This world is doomed to be purged, and I am merely the will that wants it done. So, such powers such as Fate or Destiny to manipte events to your advantage or disadvantage do not exist here. I''ll be a mere cultivator, just like you. I only carry the will to purge, and that''s it! I couldn''t evenpare to a Cardinal in terms of strength."
"Just like me, huh? Liar. You are talking of a Cardinal on your standards. Which is what? Like a Crown going by the standards of the Minds?"
"I''ve seen you already surpassing the Cardinal standards of the Londs. So why not?" Histerion chuckled.
"Are you also manipting the wars all over this nesworld?"
"No. I was just summoned here as I sensed your threat. Brimstone Beast Generals indeed control the other ces, but they are mindless beasts that only take the war instincts of whoever they were before."<sub> </sub>
"Oh? So I threaten the bnce of your purging?"
"Yes. I can feel it. You hold numerous Codes. You could even stop the purging within the neworld."
"Why are you telling me all this? Such information is critical. Don''t you wish to kill me?"
"Oh, no. I''m neutral in this battle of Beginning and End. I record history even if it means that history will end. As for this battle, I have to stop you from preserving the nesworld. I am a manifestation of the desire to burn this entire world, and that''s it. But if you defeat me and manage to do so, I won''t actively try to kill you and send more incarnations from across the gxies. They have their ces and will only go here when finished."
"Ah. That''s good to know. In short, I''ll face these incarnations of you, but if I win, I''d have more peace." Kyros smiled.
"Correct. And killing an incarnation of my will drains a bit of my power. So unless you stay here for so long, you could live a rather peaceful life."
"Good to know."
"Well, Nephilim. Let''s start this fun battle."
"Sure!" Kyros smiled back as the Brimstone Beasts began to roar as they prepared to charge.
Their roar rose to the heavens, and it quaked fear into the hearts of the elves.
Histerion transformed into a Brimstone Beast and moved back to takemand of the horde.
"What did you two talk about?" Listrel asked.
"I''ll exinter. But basically, we won''t be fighting the God, Histerion but a weak incarnation of it. So that''s the good news."
"Fighting an incarnation of a god that is stronger than the gods and fallen that Lea and I worship is good news?" Listrel frowned.
"Yes. It''s less frightening than it sounds. But we have an army numbering a few hundred thousand. This will be quite a battle. Anyway, I need to bolster our morale."
"Good luck with that. The roars of the hundred thousands of Brimstone beasts are turning our men into cowards!"
"We''ll see about that. I still have, Motivational Speaker job! And I have the perfect speech!" Kyros smiled.
"Please be the speech at the ck Gate! Please be the speech at the ck Gate!" Cminus hoped as he recalled the scene from his favorite Trilogy movie that is the one trilogy to rule them all.
"Sons of the nesworld! Son of the World Wood Tree! My brothers and sisters! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me!" Kyros dered.
"Errrmagaaahhhddd!" The Time Core of Cminus quivered with excitement as he recognized the altered form of the speech.
"A day maye when the courage of elves fails, when we shall burn and be purged by the ming hells of these Brimstone Beast and all memory of life fade, but it is not this day!"
"He said the words!" Cminus cheered.
"An hour of sulfur and burned bows when the age of elveses crashing down, but it is not this day!"
The hopes of the elves listening were slowly rising up.
"This day, we fight! By all that you hold dear good on this world, I bid you stand, Elves of the West!"
The power of Motivational Speaker erupted, and the elves'' courage returned as they roared.
"Oh my god! We are in the west! We are in the west part of the nesworld! That was so amazing!" Cminus cried.
"Aren''t you a god? Why are you saying, ''oh my god?''" Lea asked.
The elves cried out with courage as they pulled their bows to full circle and waited for the orders.
The hundreds of thousands of Brimstone beasts began their charge.
"These beasts fancy themselves as devils and kings of the fiery furnace that has doomed this world! But Elves of the West! Let''s show them a world of hurt!" Kyros ordered.
The archers at the top of the tree began to release their arrows and it rained down on the Brimstone Beasts below.
The arrows flew, and each arrow had a unique weighted point, as well as an aerodynamic design that allowed it to fly smoothly and had a design that allowed it to cross a great distance and not veer off greatly from the target.
Histerion was stunned as he saw the arrows fly through the sky and cross the great distance.
