The Dark Maddening that Kyros fell into was the typical kind and not the soul separating darkness which threw him towards the Separated Realm in his soul.
Kyros rushed madly and employed a variety of attacks. It was the first time that Aron and Branze saw the true power of Kyros.
More than ten Lizard Captains fell easily at the hands of Kyros. Each captain died through a different kind of attack.
His chains whipped out wildly as if it was alive. His swords and Balefire weapons were masterfully wielded and juggled as they flew and struck those nearby.
The power of Darkness also ragged wildly, and Kyros was so fast that not even Aron could catch up.
"What is he doing? What happened?" Aron wondered.
"That's... Time Magic! Kyros is a Time mage?!" Branze was stunned at the blurring speed of Kyros.
Even the Champion was horrified. This was a speed that even he could barely catch up with.
"Monster..." Gojirrah muttered.
"Brother! What do we do?!
"We have to wait. That is Dark Maddening. We've known Kyros to be an envoy of Darkness for a time. And now we get to see it. I just hope that Lady Martha is alright."
"You can't mean! Kyros is mad because of...!"
"Calm down! We don't know what happened. But that action, that rage, it's of a man angry at himself." Branze deduced.
Aron had an almost irresistible urge to ask as he was worried about the lives of Martha and his former knights. He could see that something bad had happened, but he could not find a way to ask.
Calaminus silently waited as Kyros brought out all the pain and anger.
The chains were now moving as if it was alive. It had become a Blood Weapon and began to devour the creatures nearby.
Suddenly, another notification appeared.
---
Martha has successfully thoroughly subverted Destiny's attack!
---
"Kyros. It's alright. They're safe!" Calaminus called out.
Kyros continued to rage, and his Blood Blade was constantly absorbing one lizard captain alive.
"No! Please save me!" The lizard captain called out to Gojirrah.
"What exactly... is that?" Gojirrah asked Branze.
"That darkness is just too crazy! It feels like that being will one day be a great calamity to this world! I have seen so many dark beings in this world, but none compare to the darkness of that being!"
Calaminus's words finally reached Kyros.
Kyros saw the notification, and suddenly, a surge of Light appeared.
A small faint light suddenly appeared on Kyros's head. And it was slowly growing brighter and brighter and enveloped all of Kyros.
The power of Mysterion was now stopping Kyros's descent to anger.
Kyros fell on his knees. The remaining lizardman and other lizards began to flee as the terrifyingly heavy pressure disappeared.
An unbelievable calm emotion covered Kyros.
He took a deep breath and began to read the notifications of the battle.

"So Hems is truly dead... I lost one Coven member... But it's good that aunt Martha and the rest are still alive. Still... I hoped that none who I call friend would die. But it seems that this battle against Destiny isn't as easy as it seems."
"You ask for the impossible. The earlier you learn that, the better. But since Martha is alive, she could help us understand what happened. And since the Temple states that Hemsey's soul has returned to the Coven Soul Pool, then it's possible to resurrect Hemsey. You know what you need to do. And that is to get stronger..."
"How was it possible that Hems's true soul has dispersed?"
"I don't know. You recall our lesson. There are very few beings in this universe that can attack and destroy the soul. And those Dracanae Ghouls aren't among them. They shouldn't be able to destroy the souls of some beings. Even Vampire Ancients could only seal a soul and not disperse it! And the stronger the soul, the harder it is. Hems' soul has already changed and received your power since he became your Coven. It definitely has something to do with Destiny."
"If it's Destiny, then he used his powers to move beyond the ordinary to kill Hems. His aim was to decrease Fate's forces. It seems that the battle between Fate and Destiny isn't just focused on me. Although Hyperion and Kyriachos already told me, I really didn't put the matter to heart. I will need an army and a Kingdom to fight Destiny! Certain preparations are necessary! It seems I cannot delay. I need to deal with Octo-Khefali, the Lizard Lords, the Shade Tribulation, and acquire Daradiel's Code as fast as possible!" Kyros declared.
"That's a lot of quests in your quest log."
"Certain preparations must be made. With the delay of the Bloodline curses, I can spend the next one month focusing on training everyone with the Library of the Nephilim's completion." Kyros glanced at the requirements of the Library. He knew that the only missing parts involved the items that his grandfather was bringing inside.
Back in the deep cave of Airom Logat...
Hunter had already recovered from his wounds. But the source of his recovery was not to his liking.
It was his brothers.
Hems had no torso, and his body was in pieces. Hemsey had a rather peaceful expression on his face despite the fact that he had no limbs.
Hunter gazed at the remains of Hems.
"We did it, brothers! We protected our Lady!" Hunter gave his report.
"You fought honorably! I wish I was the one assigned to stay here. But I guess Lady Martha knew I had the best Foresight among us." Hunter chuckled.
"Lady Martha told me that we can still revive you, Hemsey. Tough luck to you. Not even death is your released." Hunter laughed as tears began to fall.
"Hey, Hems. Be sure to greet those guys who have gone ahead. Tell them that their Lords, Aron, Branze, and Mezal remembers them. Tell them of our new Lord and his disgusting power. And be sure to brag about how you fought and helped kill a dragon!" Hunter smiled as he raised the sword and dagger of Martha.
"Rest well, brothers. See you soon, Hemsey." Hunter stabbed the sword and dagger on the separate body as it began to devour it. Hunter absorbed the life that was moving into the dagger and sword.
Behind Hunter was the pile of dragon and dracanae corpses. In the middle of it was the dragon egg.
"Dorothy. You can start now." Martha ordered.
"Yes, Master." The soul of Dorothy moved out and hovered over the egg. Green light started to glow.
