Ascension of the Nephilim

663  Passing of a Pedagog

The power and mystery of the man amazed everyone as they saw him vanish.

The Continents Above the Sky boasted of being the kings of each planet. But unlike their relationship with the Floating Continents, the Heavenly Triangle was more secretive and mysterious!

The contacts they made with any of the continents below that have been known to the public were only two incidents in the past two hundred years!

And the third instance was for them informing everyone to 'open it.'

Emeros stood there, hiding the expression of wariness and fear. With those words, his attempts to create chaos that would delay the attempts to open this were all for naught. Now, even the kingdoms that do not want to open the seals would falter.

"I have to act quickly! My timetable just shortened...! I have to resolve the issues in the Floating Continent! No matter the consequences that follow, I have to act wildly!" Emeros cursed and began to think.

"...Vivindel. Bring out the following stones. I have to use them all up."

"What spell are we going to use?"

"The one that combines all..."

"That spell?! Master, can your body handle it?"

"I've recovered a great deal of mana through the pills. You also need to help me bear this spell."

"...Yes, master."

The entire room was silent and in a daze at what had happened.

Two-Star Experts were not the peak in the Continent Above the Sky. Only Three-Stars would have the chance in their lifetime to meet someone from the Heavenly Triangle. But now, they all witnessed one. The identity that the man had was relatively famous, yet no one found his true identity in all the years.

This begged the question, just how deep have these people infiltrated their own families?

"Ahem... Did I pass?" Emeros asked.

The Two-Stars, the Pedagogs, and the other teachers were awakened by their amazed expressions.

"Yes." The man with the magic and force-draining artifact spoke.

"Then those below failed." Emeros sneered.

At once, the crowd burst into discussion.

"This test was not supposed to primarily be a pass or a fail. It was a way for us to help the teachers grow." A Pedagog spoke up as he stood in front of Emeros. He was hidden among the crowds, for there were too many amazing people who appeared, but now he had surfaced.

Emeros turned to the man and recognized him.

While others were more powerful and intelligent, this man had another kind of power.

Political power.

"Pedagog Lord Barmivus Strekra Werembus. It's natural for you to say that. Those below are all supporters of the Crown Prince and, by extension, your members. They have failed. This test cannot continue. They had their chance with humility had they heeded my advice. And as I have aided enemies up here, I would have aided themselves." Emeros did not mince words as he challenged the great Pedagog directly.

Principal Pedagog Xilar felt his stomach lurch at the words of Emeros!

"Did I... hear things correctly? Did you accuse me of being biased, you brat?" Barmivus's expression turned angry.

"Save me your intimidation. Who in this room has been invited to head to the Heavenly Triangle? Did you not just hear the words of that man? Your political power in the Floating Continents, where you are vying to be king of another nation or whatever lineage you have, is not worth weighing on me! That man also confirmed it! I have a heritage from the Heavenly Triangle! I am not someone your family can dare intimidate! I have been patient all the while, but the attempt on my life just now and how you have witnessed the Heavenly Man defend me and attack the one who tried to kill me proves my worth!" Emeros laid out the facts all at once.

With the words of that man, Emeros could no longer waste time. He needed to keep ascending to stop the dastardly plans to open the portals. If the Star Unsealing Path were opened, then the powers that do not exist in this region would return.

They will be sensed by Beginning and End. Fate and Destiny will start working here. And as it stands, Emeros was not yet confident that he could survive when Destiny would bare his fangs against him!

Emeros store closer to Bermivus without halting.

"Well? Answer me, you overrated Pedagog! Pedagog Lord? You even give yourself this name! I can see clearly now. You are a Cardinal, but you wouldn't be able to defeat a Two-Star Expert of Combat that are Commanders, wouldn't you?!"

At once, Pedagog Barmivus rushed in and grabbed hold of Emeros in anger.

"Stop!" The man frowned, and his artifact spun again.

But resisting the draining Force and Magic, the sheer physical power of Barmivus resisted the weight and draining energy, and his hand grabbed Emeros by the neck as he lifted the boy up.

"You brat! You're not strong enough to defend yourself against me without Force and Magic!"

"Ac...tually..." Emeros spoke as he tried to pull himself outwards.

Inside the vines of Vivindel, many slotted materials are carefully hidden. The concept of Blacksmith was used, and Vivindel had become a living Slotted Staff.

It was the perfect opportunity to use that magic. The enemy, despite being a Cardinal, had no Force or Magic guarding it.

And as for the magic used, it was engraved in Kyros's memories. It was a memory of how Champions created a spell they could handle by borrowing the powers of many. As for Emeros, he had crafted numerous stones of varying elements. Though these stones were not Elemental Cores, they could contain elements and be recharged through alchemy. They contained an attack enough to match a champion full attack!

All the stones lit up, and the two elemental cores inside Emeros followed.

Emeros raised his hand up and could barely do so. He took aim at Bermivus, who laughed at him.

"You really think that your frail form can harm me?!" The Pedagog laughed.

Emeros began to channel the power in his memories.

Back when they first entered Middle and fought against the Necromancer Cardinal and the numerous Commander forces, the Emberdons created a powerful spell that used Astra's Code. Emeros borrowed a portion of this and changed the power from a supernova's explosion into a single concentrated fireball.

"[Star Burst]!" The moment Emeros spoke the name of the attack he created, the Word of Power was called.

Astra and Daradiel's power was summoned and created the attack.

The power that was supposed to be hidden was summoned through Emeros, the Third part of the Nephilim Trinity.

While it could not call out the power outside, it drew the energy through Kyros as Time began to connect with the last power that Calaminus had.

Borrowing from the future, Emeros took the power in the past and shot the attack.

A flare shot out. It contained the energy of Fire, Earth, Light, Brimstone, Water, Lightning, Time/Space, Darkness, and Entropy.

It combined a Champion's worth of energy from several stones and added the power of Emeros's two Elemental Cores.

BANG!

A large hole was left in the chest of Barmivus.

At once, the strength that Barmivus had over Emeors disappeared.

He fell down backward, and Emeros also stumbled down with great weakness.

Vivindel suffered as most of its body was used up in the spell.

"NOOOO!" Many roars were heard as they confirmed the passing of a Pedagog.

FLASH!

At once, a bright light formed around Emeros and created a pyramid shield.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Many met the attack of the shield and failed to even crack it.

"What a cunning brat. You saw through my lies. You are right... The Heavenly Triangle is very much interested in you. Live on for now. But this will be the last time I will help you!" A voice was heard as many of the people allied to Barmivus attacked in revenge.
