Chapter 148: 148: An Interesting Scene

The entire vision of Kyros was revealing a different temple layout.

Hidden on one of the altars at the very center was the real body of the Succubus.

Her lifeless body was frozen inside a strange red crystal stone. Several cracks could be seen on the side, and a few droplets of blood were trickling outside.

The truth was as Kyros deduced. The Blood Calamity was weak.

She was not primarily a vampire or just a succubus but a new creature known as the Blood Succubus. The hybrid between the Fanged Fallen and the Charmed Fallen created a creature whose power depended on her blood.

She had the qualities of a Succubus and the power of a Vampire Ancient. But she was in a greatly weakened state. She only had very little blood left in her sealed state. So for her to regain more of her powers, she would need to consume more lives to grow more blood. But at her level of strength, it would take thousands of lives to be sacrificed for her to regain enough power to move her body.

But Destiny churned that day when Kyros won over Fate. The mystery behind Destiny and Fate's give and take took in the form of a lightning bolt.

Greater God Daradiel and Sheolrah battled on the heavens above the Planes World, and one of the attacks from Daradiel's Celestial Code shot out and missed making this penetrating power fall within Airom Logat.

The lightning bolt was made of strange properties that not many saw the lightning strike the ground. There were no sounds or tremors that shook the entire mountain region of Airom Logat. Instead, a single bolt fell and pierced the earth.

To those nearby, the most they thought was that it was a regular lightning bolt.

The bolt dug down the earth and struck through the secret chambers of the Blood Calamity and bypassed the defenses that would have needed beings of Saintly powers to destroy. 

The bolt coursed down the dark seal and struck the chrysalis that contained the body of the Blood Calamity.

The bolt had already weakened and only managed to damage the chrysalis and create cracks to appear.

Through those small cracks, the Blood Calamity harnessed a portion of her remaining blood, and this small blood was able to move out and weaken the many seals, eventually opening the path of the Blood Calamity to move out.

The Blood Calamity corrupted the guardians of this seal that was intended to stop any intruders from ever entering this place.

The Dark Fanged Tigers became the Blood Calamity's first mean. She enslaved the rest and made them guard but devoured what she needed to refuel her more and more.

The large Clay Golem was also corrupted by the blood drops, and this drop of blood began its journey.

The small blood drops possessed and absorbed various animals and orcs it found. Soon, it grew strong and managed to multiply. As the blood grew stronger, the Blood Calamity divided her blood and began to hunt for more. Some blood drops were focused on creating minions, while others would go back and give more and more blood to the main body.

Soon, the orc champion was finally created. Then, the orc itself began to follow the will of the Blood Calamity and drank more and more forcibly, raising its power to be close to Commanders.

But then, Kyros and the Coven came into the picture.

The loss of the orc was indeed a powerful blow as a huge chunk of the blood that contained the soul of the Blood Calamity had died. This blood had a portion of her soul and brought such great pain to her.

The Blood Calamity gathered all her remaining blood to create another drop of blood that was similar to the orc. She could sense that Kyros was moving further away, and she used that opportunity to build up more of her team. But then, the faint senses she had allowed her to sense Kyros approaching.

But as a being sent by End, the Blood Calamity did not panic but began to plot a way to kill Kyros.

Kyros's deduction was right. Her main body was hidden, and most of her blood drops took the form to create an illusion. The Blood Calamity had little means to make a physical attack. And so, she set traps after traps with the blood she had.

"Let's see if you can escape. Now that my blood is in you, how long can you hold off the maddening sensation?" The Succubus watched Kyros run around aimlessly and managed to avoid slamming into the stone pillars with his sword. She waited and timed the right instant for her Blood Clones to begin to launch magic attacks.

Kyros's vision was distorted. He was moving further and further away from the location.

His body was bleeding as more and more attacks managed to strike him. Not even his experience and his knowledge could tell apart from the illusion.

"Finding her body is impossible!" Kyros concluded.

He stood up and began to extend his magic around to surround him. Kyros closed his eyes and sensed the magic energy he created.

"You've seen what she did with the orc. Through the sacrifice of that orc, the orc was planning to summon an avatar of the Blood Calamity. Right now, I should be facing several of these avatars at most! And these creatures have ethereal forms. I already suffered from trying to attack that first avatar of hers. If I attack another, my Soul Console would probably be unable to defend against it!"

"Yeah. Just that drop, and it's even changing your perception! So how can losing help? I understand that if you try to fight more, you will die. But how can you turn a loss into a win?"

"Her hypnotic powers have even changed the way I perceive the things that the two of us can't tell, which are illusions which are real. This means that the parasite affecting is definitely her blood. I remembered seeing a mist of red after attacking that first avatar. So her blood is affecting me. This means it has her soul. So here's the plan. Calaminus, you need to help me!"

"Me?"

"This Succubus has the strength to alter my perception. She could probably invade and attack me through dreams! We can use this to our advantage!"

"How do I help you?"

"She will act economically. A single avatar causes her much energy. So If I make her think that she has an opening in diving into my soul to understand my memories, she will take it. But does she know that I have two souls? Does Destiny know that Ancient God Calaminus resides in me as a Soul Wisp?"

"Wait a minute... You want me to show her a fake vision!"

"Exactly. I am in quite a desperate state. I need to deal a critical blow on her and take out these avatars of hers or devour another piece of blood. So I need her to think she won. I will disable the power of the Soul Console; she will invade my mind. I will allow her to see a glimpse of it while trying to defend myself wildly. Since you have your soul in me, it should be possible for you to direct your memories and through the Soul Console that you are linked with."

"I get it. But what memory do I show? Won't it be bad if I show her Mechiel? I mean, we can't let Destiny know that you had a future life, right?"

"Yeah. That's the hard part!" Kyros answered. He then sensed some fluctuations on the magic power he was sending out and managed to evade the attacks right on time.

BOOM! BOOM!

The magic attacks struck behind Kyros and scratching him.

"I can't keep doing this. Calaminus, help me. The vision that we have to show her must be something that explains why I was able to resist her charms in the first place! She thinks I'm a Nephilim sealed with my young age. So I'm thinking of using my past memories as a berserked child to be the reason as to why I can't be charmed." Kyros explained.

"Right! Use those murderous memories! It'll explain why you are not affected by her lust!"

"The goal is to make her use another vision. Her power to charm isn't just using lust. Although her powers to tempt would-be her strongest power, she can use visions to make me see what I want. Do you know what memory to show her?"

"How about a vision of seeing those beings we saw when you touched the Gigantes Core. If you are to look at your state, a Nephilim that is ten years old in terms of physique and mentality, the one thing you want to know is your purpose and meaning in this life." Calaminus answered.

Kyros was amazed at how useful, and insightful Calaminus was.

"Genius! Alright! Once her avatars approach, I will use my Force Slash to attack her along with my Dark Devourer. That should not only weaken her, but if we play this right, I can recover more of my strength and become even more resistant to her charms! Let's do it. I will try to gradually weaken my Soul Console and give her an opening to see through my mind!" Kyros decided and made the necessary changes.

The Soul Console's power weakened, and it caused the Dream Parasite managed to infiltrate Kyros's soul.

The tremendous desire of lust managed to attack Kyros.

And the first thing that the Blood Calamity did when her Dream Parasite took in, saw Kyros's memories.

And there, she was horrified at what she saw. She was horrified and slightly amazed. She was stunned and even stopped doing anything for several seconds as she witnessed an interesting scene that even made her blush.

Calaminus had lied to Kyros.

He had no intention of showing the Blood Calamity the vision of Kyros's wildness in his past life. He was making insightful comments because he had wanted to show the Blood Calamity something else. There was an easier excuse to make the Blood Calamity understand why Kyros was not affected by her charms. And all it took was for Calaminus to show the Blood Calamity the people hailing from a certain village.

"MACHO, MACHO FRIENDS! NEPHILIM WANTS SOME MACHO FRIENDS!"

Several muscular man who had applied oil that made their muscles shine more apparent came to view.

There was a cowboy, a soldier, an indian, and several other muscular men were jiving in an amazing dance routine as they posed and smiled.

"MACHO, MACHO FRIENDS! I'VE GOTTA BE A MACHO!"

"The Nephilim is gay?!" The Blood Calamity mumbled in shock.
