Impyernos was full of rage and anger, and it empowered the flames and wind.
He was the ember that would keep burning in the world. Through him, the fire would endure as the winds would rage. But the power was only able to burn and keep burning due to his great rage. The anger he felt when he was scorned by Xermolipi. He was the foremost among the flames. The Ember that Started it all. Many Gods of fire were blaze and heat. But he sparked the fire.
But now his Wrath grew more and more intense with the power of Wrath.
Along with Thessalah and Sheolrah, another Half-Fallen Spawns was awakened, and though they had not taken the full dosage of the Foul Fallen's power, it was enough to create a massive change in their power.
"You? You are not worth my time, Steele!" Impyernos glared at the one that could threaten her.
"You! Daughter of Olethros! You are mine!" He was weakened, and his powers had dropped below the level of Conqueror. He was cursed, and she was blessed. But, as the one blessed by Dentro, Impyernos could not keep himself from directing the heat of his rage toward her.
A massive Crown appeared over his head, and a gigantic blade of fire tore toward the sky.
"[Pyre to Aonian: Machairan Distomon]!"
A flaming sword, a raging sword, an unrelenting sword towered towards the heavens.
With that, Impyernos made his move and slashed down.
But Lea Olethros stood at the walls of the fortress and laughed, not bothering to use her power of Water to quench the raging flames.
"If they claim to fight you, they shall fight you. Do not underestimate them. They are the Descendants of those who would rise with the Nephilim!" Lea chuckled.
Branze and Diana stepped forward.
They could feel the power in them when the Nephilim rose. The limitations of their power had been unchained along with the freedom of power as Mysterion became Revelation and revealed the Descendants of those who stand with Beginning.
As Impyernos slashed down, he could swear that the forms of the two changed for a split second.
Gannaios Steel and Katara Kyriachos's figure was superimposed on the two.
Two Crowns, only slightly smaller than the massive one that Impyernos released, appeared.
At once, the two quickly learned the Word of Power that the gods and fallen used.
Branze and Diana knew what spell to use. By channeling the Holy Barrier of the Fortress, the pair was able to replicate a power that combined both.
The Path of Gannaios is to be a shield, and Katara is to bear burdens combined as they would be able to stand their ground against the powerful blade of fire.
"[Thureos tes Phos: Phroureo]!" Branze and Diana shouted as a massive shield resembling an ancient tower stood before them and blocked the slash!
"Impossible!" Impyernos saw how the strange light stopped the raging sword and prevented the fires from burning inwards.
"[Machairan tou Hyperion: Apokopto]!"
"[Machairan tou Pneumatos: Apokopto]!
Two loud cries were heard, and Impyernos saw two small men running from both sides.
The moment the sword was swung down, Aron and Mezal had warped towards the side of Impyernos. They were fearless and trusted that Branze and Diana would do their part.
To the father and son, the sheer excitement of cutting down and wounding a Fallen was exhilarating!
One wielded a powerful sword that called on the First One Severed.
The other used the power of the shamans and called on the power of Pneuma.
A sword of steel and a sword of the spirit. One to mutilate the flesh, and one to strike the spirit!
But a Fallen was still a Fallen, and Impyernos saw the split-second attack. To him, those attacks were too slow. But with his power sent out, he could only escape.
"[Pyre to Aeonios: Diaskorpizo]!" Impyernos used his evading abilities and was sent scattering all over the place as fire and wind exploded out.
"You were running away from me?" Scarlet suddenly appeared and had a pouting look.
The appearance startled Impyernos as he thought that Xermolipi was standing before him!
SLASH! SLASH!
"AHHH!"
The two swords struck out the dispersing flames that appeared frozen in space.
The fire retreated, and Impyernos's real form appeared with two wounds on his shoulder and his leg!
WARP! WARP!
Several powers warped around him as the members of the Coven appeared.
Diana and Branze charged forward, but the angry Impyernos gathered the dispersing flames to shoot them out. He only recalled less than half of his body, but nevertheless, a massive amount of fire and wind pushed back against all around him to attack and purge all who were around.
But the Coven did not retreat.
Their charge was founded on the trust of their allies and in themselves.
Even against a Fallen, they did not hesitate but trusted in their capabilities to see the flow of the battle and use their Path of Foresight, which was at the Seer level.
Avary, Gregory, Hunter, Grugnyr, and Reptillia charged forward, revealing a Water Core!
Their adventures in the many lands and how they were sent on individual missions made them face Commanders and Cardinals alone. They were forced to grow, and the power of their fangs improved.
But when Nightwing devoured Gluttony, things changed even more.
Their Fangs had awakened, and the blood that they drank gave them power and energy.
The four had collected and amassed a huge amount of blood from mages, and their current form was similar to Vampire Ancients.
They had already reached the same level of power that the vampire who served Heralcus had.
But when Nightwing took over and fed them with the darkness, their vampiric powers had increased so much, and the power of a Fang had taken over.
They were as strong as Eredus and could wield a powerful amount of water.
"[Hydor hos Potamon]!" The group shockingly called out the power that Hydron had given to Lea.
Lea smiled as the Fortress glowed behind her and bestowed on them the power to call on the sea.
Rivers of water shot out and formed five heads of what appeared to be the water heads of an Okto-Khefali breached out of each of them and received the blow of fire.
Scarlet also joined the group and commanded the seas of Hydron to follow her. She had Zelah's code, and her jealousy that the rest of the Coven could summon waters allowed her to summon it.
"[Zelah hos Potamon!] Scarlet shouted and used another Word of Power!
The water elements quivered and obeyed the beauty, and a large Okto-Khefali jumped out of the hands and attacked Impyernos.
To the front, Hems was running at full speed and had a fist full of molten flames.
"Even Ace died! How much more, you! [Armageddon Punch]!" Hems hurled a powerful fist at Impyernos while resisting the flames. The purging brimstone of Histerion was not so easy to outburn.
Impyernos was forced to add more defense while defending at the back.
He knew he barely had a second to flee as Aron and Mezal would make yet another attack, and he had to quickly overpower these fools, but the half-seconds were well used, giving Impyernos not enough time to respond to these attacks.
"Hey."
Impyernos heard the voice of the one he sought. But while the one calling out to him was the real Xermolipi, he knew and had learned from the wounds that he should not be distracted.
Impyernos focused his will in those half seconds and readied his attack that would overpower all.
But then, he heard a strange cry.
"Arsenokoites! Peripiro Sodomon!" Hemsey made up a strange phrase based on his knowledge of the First Tongue.
The rough translation of this phrase was 'Man bedder, piercing Sodom.'
"Wha-what?!" Impyernos felt a chill run down his spine and forced more energy to attack the area directly behind him.
Hemsey was not even in an attacking pose but only yelled the attack and prompted a flaming farting counter, but it did not hit Hemsey.
Impyernos was too focused on the call of Mechiel, and the dispersing powers that he made caused a collapse in the attacks.
The waters pushed inwards towards him.
Mezal and Aron made their slash once more.
Impyernos had no choice but to disperse himself once more, but a bright barrier manifested around him, sealing him in the place.
[Thureos tes Phos: Pyrgos]!" Branze and Diana shouted and created a cylinder barrier that surrounded Impyernos as a tower appeared.
BOOM!
All the attacks reached, and a massive blast of fire occurred, but all those nearby Impyernos had warped out to safety.
