The five elemental attacks shot through the distance. It came from near the portal that opened and reached the space almost instantly.

Each energy contained the destructive might that could equal Champions. But Seige Cultivators were designed to create massive destruction during war times. And so, these five attacks were attacks that surpassed the usual power levels that Champions could do in the Lowlands.

The five Shadow Champions hastily retreated to avoid the powerful attack and prepared to charge at the moment the Shield would disappear. They could picture how the wall would collapse and how the magic would penetrate and who it might hit.

The ogre glanced at the old man standing in front of him and prepared a killing blow. He was weaker than the Giant, but he could temporarily increase his attacks by another fold with his bloodlust ability!

The grotesque creature with a massive arm was already extending his arm to the back and was prepared to attack. But, while the ones at the back were Siege Cultivators, he was another form. He was a closed-ranged Siege Cultivator.

All the time he fought, he had been releasing only a small amount of his energy. But now, the massive magical metal that he wielded was erupting with great power.

The three others were also making calculations and decided on their targets. All that was there was to wait for impact.

But then, their expressions changed at the very last possible second. The Shadow champions noticed that the enemy that was in front of them stopped defending. Previously, they were all defending, but now, most abandoned their defenses right as the magic attacks were about to reach.

Kyros was slightly worried that he activated Pronto to observe. Although he knew Fate was telling him it would work, he still did this as he couldn't understand the nature of power between the two.

Calaminus watched and was evens starting to tear up. With his memories of this two returning, e recalled the sealed up and forbidden relationship between the two.

"The day of their Promise is fulfilled. Both will finally join hands and be together... And this combat is their celebration!

"

"What exactly is happening here?

" Kyros finally asked.

"Watch and see.' Calaminus only smiled.

Kyros could tell that this wasn't an arrogant smile in which Calaminus finally knew something which Kyros could not deduce, but it was because Calaminus was so excited to show him!

Kyro decided to stop and see for himself what this was.

The five bolts and the attack of the grotesque shadow champion reached,

BOOM!

The attacks all occurred at the same time that it resounded as one huge boom.

But the strange thing was that the collaborative attack of all those champions could not destroy the wall that stood strong.

"Us Against The World!

" Branze and Diana shouted together as a bizarre emotion overtook them. They were in great euphoria and said what their hearts told them to say.

The power of Block was shown, and another power allowed the power of Branze to bear the weight of the attack somehow.

The Shields of the two were glowing with amazing power.

"WHAT?!

" The shout of the mysterious Shadow Commander shouted as he saw how the wall endured. There was even a trace of fear that made him cower as he saw the Shield appear. It was a power so great that it surpassed the strongest attack he could muster!

The other shadow champions had already thrown their strikes as they were anticipating the destruction of the wall.

PENG! PENG! PENG!

Their attacks struck the Shield and could not break through.

All the champions felt an incredible repelling force that knocked them back. The power of Block was fueled by Push, which caused the champions to be thrown back from the attack.

Diana and Branze lost power immediately, and the Shield disappeared.

Mezal, Aron, Martha, and the Coven were all ready and took action.

FWIP! FWIP! FWIP! FWIP! FWIP!

Martha had already teleported the moment the magic attacks landed. She appeared high above and shot five magic attacks towards the Siege Cultivators at the far back.

She utilized the power of the Branch of Bow, and the arrow flew so fast that it immediately struck the Siege Cultivators the moment Martha let loose her arrows.

SLASH!

Aron created a powerful slash that divided the grotesque being in half. The slash was so strong that it sliced down and divided the ground and sliced through, revealing the Life and Death Containing field under it!

"Penetrating Charge!

" Mezal charged off and combined the Quick Flash Sword Stab and the Knight's Charge and performed both.

Sword had Shield struck the ogre. The charge was full of the holy earth energy he created. Mezal's made a hard shield that struck and crushed the shadow body of the orc. The overall damage that this attack did was like the meteor attack he performed earlier. The dark energy that made up and formed the shadow ogre was still strong enough to resist it, but the stab had struck to the heart.

"Grand Cross!

" Mezal shouted.

With the sword stabbed deep inside the creature, the Force energy that imitated Holy erupted out.

BOOM!

Reptilia and Gojirrah charged towards the two Champions in front of them. Reptilia challenged the beetle-like champion while Gojirrah attacked the large lizard.

Hunter, Avary, and Gregory rushed together to challenge the orc champion. The orc was still staggering from the knockback, and the three bravely attacked and laughed stabs and attacks.

Hunter's sword was glowing red with fire. He had received a Fire Core from the Temple and channeled the energy to his Blood Sword, and made the strongest slash he could make.

Avary and Gregory attacked the arms and legs of the orc to keep it from recovering its balance.

Scarlet was at the back and wielded the Novice of Elirium scepter, which she received and used her Lightning Core to shoot out a powerful bolt.

BOOM!

The attacks all landed.

The only champion that died was one that Aron and Mezal attacked. After killing them, the two continued to rush forward. They knew that Diana and Branze would lose consciousness from this.

The surviving champions began to fight their corresponding foes, and a battle commenced.

Kyros was still marveling at how the defense of his father and mother withstood the attack. He had landed next to them and instructed the knights who accompanied them to bring the two back.

The knights that had followed them agreed and began to move.

It was then that the shadow army began a charging assault.

"Emberdon Champions. Please launch one siege attack.

" Kyros suddenly ordered.

Demerus immediately agreed and utilized one of his Charged Spells.

Massive energy began to gather, and a single lightning bolt shot out and struck the middle of the shadow army.

BOOM!

A massive explosion occurred. Unlike the former Siege attacks that emphasized penetrating power over wide-scale destruction, Demerus specialized in creating massive explosions, which paused and created disorder to the rushing shadow army.

Kyros had his eyes on the Commander. But for some strange reason, despite the loss of the Siege cultivators and how the tide was against him, the Commander remained flying in his position and was carefully examining everyone.

Kyros sighed and began to move forward.

The Shadow champions were fighting the Coven, but Kyros ignored the fights and kept moving forward.

Mezal and Aron also did the same. They walked forward and didn't even turn their backs to the battle behind them. Kyros also began to position himself so that he and his uncle and Grandfather positioned themselves in the path. Each stood in a strategic location, which divided the path equally.

"Why isn't that Commander attacking?

" Aron frowned.

"He must be waiting for an ally or is maximizing our fights to gain more information about us,

" Mezal answered.

The three readied for the charge of the shadow army, which was quickly reforming their ranks.

"Alright, Calaminus. What is up with my mom and dad?

" Kyros asked as he had the opportunity.

"You couldn't guess what it was despite seeing it?

"

"I could guess so. That power should be related to strength or vitality.

"

"Close. It's actually Burden. I remember everything. Your father isn't just a descendant of Steele. He is the resurrection of one!

"

"My dad is the resurrection of an actual son of Hyperion?

"

"Yes! And your mother is the resurrection of a descendant of Kyriachos!

"

"She's a Fallen?

"

"No. She's human. She reincarnated as a human! Kyros, the two are called the First Curse and the First Vow. You see, when Kyriachos created the darkness, it created pain, sorrow, sadness, and all that. And all of these concepts of creation were created through your mother! She is Katara Kyriachos! The bearer of Burdens!

"

"Burden... She bears a heavy burden...?

"

"Yes! Think about it! Everything you experience in this life has to have its source. Emotions of all forms that have come to existence are formed somewhere. These gods reshaped reality. And your mother was the embodiment of pain and suffering. And so, she was destined to suffer and bear pain all her life. Her mere existence demanded her to fall into various forms of pain and bear such loneliness alone. And she did until your father came into the picture..

" Calaminus explained.
