Chapter 257: 258: Was it Not Your Words?

The Crab Commander revealed great defenses that not even their combined efforts could take. He glanced at the defeated expressions of the Nephilim and his companions.

"This Crab! He's stronger than that dragon!" Faye cursed.

"Such a pitiful display. Show me the ace that killed Commander Pyrestarter. I'm curious if you can break my defenses."

Kyros stood up and prepared to attack.

"If not... You'll die. Champions! Activate that spell! And fortify the force field! That sword expert can still break through it!" 

The Champions began to harness certain power. A certain group began to enhance the force field while another group began to channel energy on the Champion.

Kyros knew what those spells wore.

"[Dark Empowerment]. [Haste]. [Earth Defender]. Powerful Channeling spells." Kyros noticed the powerful Champion level spells that enhanced the power of the Commander. While it could not compare to the powerful spells he wielded at his peak, these skills were very powerful among Champions.

The mages of all races, some made of shadow, some alive, began to chant constantly.

"This guy... What an overkill to deal with us." Mezal chuckled. He stood up and held his sword tight.

The Crab Commander's powers increased. In addition, the spells that were used were high level among Champions. And this gave a powerful boost of nearly twenty points on Vitality, Strength, and Dexterity.

The stats of the Commander was already brutally high. And now it increased all the more.

The Force energy covered the Commander, and it was as if another layer of shell appeared.

"His crustacean shell is like a thick armor and is not connected to him. My power of time must strike his flesh for it to take effect. What a primitive yet effective means to protect himself from curses. Everyone. I'll distract him." Kyros announced as the darkness covered him. Kyros's wings drew out, and his sword released Balefire flame on his sword. 

The power of darkness began to surge out of Kyros's body.

"We need to expend more and more of our attacks to kill this beast. As we stand, unless we use the more powerful attacks in our arsenal, we will die."

"Everyone. Buy me time. I'll be sure to stab through him this time!" Aron declared.

"Then we all know our mission." Kyros held his two swords, and both began to be engulfed in darkness.

"Foolish. Your darkness does not scare me! My element is Water! The effectiveness of your element is reduced when used against me! Did you not study the elemental wheel?" The Crab Commander mocked.

Aron closed his eyes and held his sword up.

The moment he did that, the lizardmen and lizard races outside, including those with tainted dragonic bloodlines, felt great fear.

"Commander!" The Champions warned.

"Bring it!" The Commander laughed as he rushed straight for Aron with incredible speed. A sonic boom exploded as he moved.

FWIP! FWIP! FWIP!

Several arrows were suddenly launched. Martha was suddenly standing near Aron as her figure on the previous location turned into a shadow. The moment the arrows were fired, another source of pressure was felt.

Martha's eyes looked different as she held on to the bow. Pitch-black darkness appeared, and somehow the Bow of Branch reacted as if it gained power from it. The arrows moved at such immense speed that the Commander was forced to block it.

The massive Force Energy of the Crab Commander appeared again, and it erupted out.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each arrow that struck the exploding force energy would explode on contact. But the arrows were strangely not knocked back but moved and continued to devour the wave of Force Energy.

The arrows of Martha now had space element. And with Martha's Branch of Bow, the arrow traveled and pierced through the eruption of Force. But as the arrow traveled deeper, it lost all its energy and was knocked off from the exploding Force. But the arrow behind it would arrive just on time to push deeper right when the previous one would be knocked back.

"Not enough!" The Crab Commander laughed as the Force Energy became more condensed. Finally, the entire field revealed a dark bluish color, and the appearance became like water. The truth was that the Crab Commander had not yet revealed the true defenses of his Force Energy.

The Force energy was no longer a hard and stable form but had the cushion of water. As a result, the speed of the arrows reaching deeper became slower as they entered the large bubble of Force energy that looked like water.

Martha kept shooting, but each arrow was turning her expression paler and paler.

Kyros zoomed around to gain velocity and charged directly on the left side of the Commander.

Mezal rushed on the right of the Commander with his Knights Charge and harnessed the best Wall he created.

The mobile wall charged straight for the torrent of Force Energy.

BANG!

Mezal crashed on the Force Wall and kept pushing.

But the Crab Commander didn't even glance at Mezal and raised his arm and slapped it towards Kyros.

The speed of his slap became so fast. A bluish arm made of the Crab Commander's Force energy slapped out.

But surprisingly, Kyros did not evade but charged forward.

"[Skotos Eis Phos]!" Kyros shouted. But instead of the booming light, his entire Dark Armor turned into holy energy.

The Bloodied Balefire Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges became the Lifeblood Holy Fire Sword of Ten Thousand Justice. The Wings of Darkness became Angel Wings of Light.

BOOM!

Kyros slashed his two weapons down, and his armor exploded in light.

As the Crab Commander was dividing his attention to three points, Kyros was not blown off, but the two attacks fell into a stand-off.

The Emberdon Champions had already repositioned themselves in front of Aron and lifted their scepters, and channeled powerful energy into their scepters.

Four beams of their elements shot towards the specific point where the arrows of Martha had dug deep into.

BOOM!

The four beams continued to slowly dig through and were slowly reaching the body.

But even in this scenario, the Crab Commander was not worried. If they could not penetrate through his Force energy easily, then his craggy shell would even be darker to penetrate.

"Good! What a great effort! But playtime is over. That stab of the sword expert is now reaching seventy percent of what it takes to damage my shell." The Crab Commander laughed.

BOOM!

The ball of water that surrounded the Crab Commander erupted sideways, throwing off Kyros and Mezal. 

"Aron!" Martha shouted in panic.

With the two on the sides thrown off, the Crab Commander rushed forward, taking in the Emberdon's beam's damage.

Martha shot several arrows, but it was clear that the arrows did not have the same mysterious power as they did before.

"Die!" The Crab Commander laughed as he charged towards Aron.

Aron was awakened from his concentration and had no choice but to rush forward with all the speed he could muster.

The attack was perfect for the Crab Commander. Foresight and Combat had allowed him to guess the attack roughly. The enemy would try to make him divide his attention and therefore divide his body's defenses and perform a lethal, concentrated attack on one point.

Martha showed amazing powers that dug through the Force Energy, and the Crab Commander revealed how his control on his Force Energy was already something that took the form of Elements.

Transforming Force to have a Form of Element is something not even seen in the Midlands. But the Commander was not just familiar with it. He was a genius. He was even more skillful than the previous cultivators that Kyros fought in his past life!

And so, the Commander planned to have them make their attacks in an attempt to divide his attention. He had previously revealed that he only could perform a powerful explosive release of his force energy, making it like a rushing wall. But as an expert user of his Force, he had grasped the essence of water better. The forced energy became like waves that suddenly moved. He tossed the force energy to the side to throw off the rest and immediately went for the kill.

Aron was the one who had the ability to wound him. And with his superior dexterity, killing Aron would be easy. Not even the archer or the Champion mages could prevent him from killing him.

His charge thundered, but suddenly, he noticed it. His entire body was heavy!

The single-step he took should have been enough to bring him to Aron, but it slowed him down. With his high dexterity, he could think faster and was able to perceive the changes in his movements.

He then noticed that Aron had some strange Gravity spell on him.

The sword of Aron had also grown twice as long as it was before!

Aron's movements were faster than expected. And as his movements had strangely slowed down, he instinctively focused on hardening the defenses in his body. But at that moment, he noticed that his body no longer had the buffs that the Champions were casting on him.

"What?! How?!" The Crab commander cursed as Aron's attack reached.

STAB!

The might stab far exceeded his expectations. The sword attack of Aron had grown by another fold! The sword of Aron also increased in length.

The sword pierced through the craggy shell and was about to hit his real body!

Aron smiled.

"Was it not your words? He who plans ahead, wins!" Aron shouted as he pushed the sword deeper.

The Crab Commander harnessed his Force energy, and it became like a small orb in his chest as he used his claws to break the sword.

CLANG! CLANG!

But his two crab claws could not cut the sword!

Aron roared as he did his best to push the sword deeper with all his might and the Crab Commander resisted with his two claws. The beams of the Emberdon Champions continued to attack his face and body, causing pain in him. But his force energy was being concentrated on his chest where the sword might stab. There was something peculiar with the sword that he knew he would have a hard time recovering from a wound from it.

Suddenly a portal opened up behind Aron.

On the other side of the Portal was a bright light. 

It was Kyros in his light form. He zoomed with all the speed he had and emerged out of the Portal and gave a mighty kick on the handle of Aron's sword.

BANG!

The sword stabbed deeper, and it finally wounded the Crab Commander.

"ARRGGGGHHHH!" He felt a great pain that he had never felt before as peculiar energy coursed through his body.
