Chapter 283: 284: Time to Gather

The appearance of the four with the dragon flying next to Martha added great pain and anger to those inside the dome, especially Qara.

"What are they doing here? I thought they retreated?" Darako frowned.

Immediately, the two Champion mages began to make attacks, and even Martha began to shoot arrows. Puff's normal form had grown in size, and he was now slightly larger than a horse. It flew around the area, grabbed stoned and boulders, and hurled it towards the dark dome.

Gojirrah jumped and landed on the ground. He stood with a brave pose and leaned back.

"The Shade Lord is stupid!" Gojirrah shouted.

"Wyvern? More like, Why are you so stupid?!" He shouted again.

"The Shaman is flat-chested!"

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but that necromancer is ugly!"

Again and again, Gojirrah made his relentless attacks and delivered words of poison at the Dark Dome.

"That little...!" The Shade Lord channeled the darkness and launched a large dark spear towards them.

The spear flew with great speed and crossed the distance, but right before it struck them, a massive portal appeared and ate the spear.

"See how stupid the Shade Lord is? He shot concentrated dark energy at us! We, who have the ability to eat Darkness! Thank you for the meal! You just gave your enemy more power!" Gojirrah laughed.

Puff disappeared as a portal appeared in front of him. He flew in and quickly flew out, carrying the Shade Lord's dark spear.

"Delicious!" Puff laughed as he bit on it.

"Back in the past, when the kingdom of Alpha Draconis stood in this land, I banged your mother, Shade Lord!" Gojirrah then began to carry out more insults dragging everyone's mother into the picture.

The Shade Lord was enraged, but then the Necromancer's power appeared.

"It's a trap! Right now, two of my Commanders are critically wounded! Ignore them! Focus on healing, and let us continue with this ritual. I can sense the Nephilim flying around the planet, killing shadow ghouls and remnants of the armies of the fallen Commander. He is preparing for our battle and using those to delay us. I fear that a trap in place could even harm me! We lost so much already! Let us maintain our caution and keep this defense up. Darako. Use your powers to seal up this place so that not even sound can pass through! We block our ears from them!" The Necromancer ordered.

"That Necromancer resurrected his own mother! Too bad! I'm into necrophilia! So even if that Cardinal's mother was skin and bones, I did it with her!" Gojirrah's words echoed once more.

Heralcus grew immensely angry but reminded himself of Chance's words.

"DO IT!" Heralcus shouted and ordered the Shade Lord in great rage. His shout was so loud it echoed throughout the and.

"Do it? That's right! I did it! With your mother!" Gojirrah shouted back.

The Shade Lord quickly activated the spell, and the darkness took form and became as metal.

The group continued their attacks even as the darkness condensed into hard steel.

"Lord Kyros..." Martha reported.

"I see it. Aunt Martha, have Gojirrah and the two champions retreat. As for you, go to these points and call out the surviving remnants. Tell them that we who slain the Commanders are calling on all of the survivors here. They are to go to Alpha Draconis and fight with us. They have to make haste and be there within a day's time." Kyros then relayed the locations of the nearby settlements that were close enough for a day's travel.

The group immediately retreated at Kyros's orders.

Kyros had finally reached the second surviving settlement.

Unlike the former, which hid in the ruins of a kingdom, this one retreated to the top of a mountain.

Kyros used his powers and made light stunning everyone who saw.

A group of humans appeared and watched as Kyros landed. Among the group were Skeletons, goblins, and even some orcs. But what intrigued Kyros was a race of winged humanoids. They looked like humans but had bird-like features.

"Feather Folk... A rare race even in the Planes World." Kyros recalled that he only started seeing this race when he was fighting in the Midlands.

"Who are you?" The leader was a Skeleton with tremendous power.

"A Lich! Interesting! Ths dark world had allowed you to grow!" Kyros praised.

"Lich? I am Lich?" The skeleton asked.

"You don't know, huh? I see. Your heritage and knowledge of the Magic Fueled and the Forsakers of Flesh are low. When a Skeleton is able to display double the magic powers that his peers should be able to display, he is considered a Lich. The lowest ranking among the Lich, but a Lich nonetheless."

"You know of the dark arts? How can such a being of light know of it?" The Lich questioned.

The bright light of Kyros suddenly turned to darkness.

"That form!" The Lich was stunned.

"I am Kyros Steele. I am sent here to fight those Commanders and Cardinals that have ruled this place. Will you join me?" Kyros asked.

"I have sensed the battles you waged. With my dark arts, I have sensed the death of several Commanders. Was it your doing?"

Kyros brought out a single item. It was the fang of the Pyrestarter. The moment the Lich saw it, it exclaimed.

"That is the dragon commander's claw!"

"Yes. I am the Nephilim. I have slain this one. But there is no time to rejoice. Our enemies will resurrect the Commanders that we killed. You have seen the powers of that Necromancer, no doubt. We ask for assistance in the battle to come. Alpha Draconi has already allied with us, and I have just convinced the nearby settlement to join us. Will you fight for your life or remain to be food raised for the slaughter?" Kyros asked.

The Lich turned around to observe the leaders that led the settlement.

"Is this a trap?" One of the Feather Folk asked.

"Impossible. You've seen his light! This being is clearly their enemy!" One of the humans exclaimed. He had noticed Kyros's human form and agreed.

"Is it safe to travel?" The horse voice was heard, and a tall Hobgoblin approached.

"My my... a Captain level with the strength of a Champion! And a Commander's Potential!" Kyros felt the power of the hobgoblin.

"You ask us to travel, but is it safe?"

Kyros smiled and used Soul Projection's ability to show the scene he saw earlier. The power of the Blood Calamity to create illusions had grown stronger as Kyros absorbed the strength of the Commanders he killed.

The sight of the dark dome was shown.

"They are threatened by our power and have holed up in their fortress. Rest assured that they won't come out anytime. We have delayed the ritual to resurrect and even caused infighting among them. They are even more guarded at their current state and would expect us to launch a full assault. But instead, I wish to gather the nearby survivors and ask for their help in the battle to come. Destiny's eyes are blind for now. So it is the perfect time to gather!"

The illusions changed and revealed the lizards of Alpha Draconi training inside the Temple. And it changed to show how Kyros convinced the survivors of the previous settlement who agreed to move to Alpha Draconis.

The visions attracted everyone's attention. The scene that Kyros revealed to them was more than an image of people marching towards the fallen kingdom of Alpha Draconis. What they saw was hope.

The Lich turned around and glanced at the leaders, who all had the same expressions.

"We leave at once!" The Lich declared and the entire village erupted in cheers.

At the other end of the plane, Martha was approaching another settlement. Puff was flying next to her, carrying a large claw which was the claw of the Crab Commander.
