Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 413 Crown And Crownless

The Crown of Thorns was a legendary power that only the strongest of those who had the Code of Dentro acquired.

The power of Dentro and the remnant energy sought to save the Planesworld as it felt the pain of the Yggdrasil. And when Gradius and Listrel acquired the power, the will of the Yggdrasil and its hatred for its enemies was spurred, allowing the power to crown beings.

The crowning of warriors was necessary for cultivation. Only those Crowned and have blessings from the gods or fallen are allowed to breach the limitations of their body by being transformed into a divine or corrupted body.

The Crown of Thrones represented that they were the kings and queens assigned by Dentro. And millenniums have passed since the last crown of Dentro was bestowed! Most cultivators who sought Dentro's blessings were given weaker crowns. But now, two crowns were given, allowing the two to connect strongly with the trees and commune with them.

Through this power, the World Wood Trees came to life and answered the call of Listrel and Gradius.

Lanthanou was in pain. He used his powers to make them forget the light, but that power didn't work. With Brimstone all around, he needed to create great effort to make the two forget.

But the attack was sent and magnified. And all that energy attacked him.

Lanthanou was weakened and his form. Even though his form was that of a High Cardinal, he was still susceptible to the attacks of the Light.

The failed attempt to make Gradius forget caused Lanthanou severe damage.

"My turn!" Lea laughed as she harnessed the dark serpent to move.

The gigantic mountains of Brimstone began to burst as the water serpent of Lea pierced through the last one.

The black serpent roared as it charged forward and raced towards Lanthanou.

"Sister! Let me have a taste of fighting a god!" Rachel shouted as she charged even faster! Her large black obsidian monstrous form flew up to attack. But as she was closer to Lanthanou, she quickly closed the gap and was about to punch the enemy.

"Die!" Rachel roared.

Lanthanou had not yet recovered from the blast he received, and he harnessed the power and made Rachel forget her incoming attack. Rachel realized she had approached the enemy without any attack!

"What?!" She was confused. She was sure she had an attack prepared. But the punch that harnessed speed, momentum, and velocity was forgotten, and she could not complete the attack.

"[Vine Sapper]!" Listrel activated yet another spell that she had prepared beforehand.

At the very body of Rachel, Vines had already grown and began to spread all around her. The obsidian armor covered her body and prevented Lanthanou from seeing the vines.

The vine began to attack Rachel as pain appeared all over her body, leaving a stinging attack. In that split second, Rachel felt her right arm and the power it contained!

,m Rachel sent out her punch.

"No!" Lanthanou cursed and blocked with the darkness.

BANG!

"We understand your power now, Lanthanou! You can only make us forget one thing at a time! If not, you would have used multiple powers to confuse us!" listrel laughed.

Rachel continued to send out more punches and finally harnessed the power in her tail, and she whipped it out.

SMASH!

The tail struck, and the sharp blade at the end caused a slashing attack as Lanthanou was sent flying back.

"Sister!" Rachel laughed as she made her tail send Lanthanou towards the serpent.

Lea's black serpent opened its gigantic jaws. The power of the Abyss gathered at the mouth of the serpent and empowered the massive teeth of the dragon.

Lanthanou released the power of Time and Space and created expanding black energy as the serpent's jaws fell.

BOOM!

The massive water serpent was also destroyed as a dark vortex extended out.

Lea appeared as the water serpent collapsed, and she flew towards Liathel and Gradius.

"What are we fighting?" Lea asked.

"Just stick to me and don't bother asking things. He's making us all forget. And don't forget to breathe. We could survive without breathing for hours and hours. But it will hinder our battle capabilities." Listrel reminded the two.

Gradius was drained of all the light energy he gathered from the Brimstone beast. As such, he carefully waited and did not let loose even more attacks.

"I'll have to get ready for the next massive attack."

"That was quite an attack, little bro." Listrel smiled.

"What attack? I can't seem to remember anything."

"Probably because he has set its magic. Don't worry. With the vines there, we can keep you alerted."

"What vines?" Lea asked.

Gradius and Listrel sighed at the reactions the two. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"They probably can't remember anything other than the past few seconds. So we have to be careful, Gradius. We can remember, and we should protect them while we fight!"

"I'll protect Rachel." Gradius bow.

"Good. Hmm... I guess you could die, Lea." Listrel chuckled.

"I don't need your help, anyway."

Suddenly, a powerful Darkness erupted up above.

Lanthanou had fled and flew higher, and they could feel a strange power breaching the area. Then, as it was with the eye that they saw in the heavens when Histerion acted, a massive Finger could be seen moving inside.

"He's empowering himself. I guess this is a good thing! We're finally pushing him into a state where his real body is moving! This was the plan of Kyros. He ordered us to fight Lanthanou to the point that he would have to intervene like this."

The form of Lanthanou flew up high as the powers gathered all over him. A Bestowal of Blessing was starting.

"He's planning to become a Crown!" Lea saw it and frowned.

"That's right. This Brimstone World cannot birth crowns. No matter how skilled everyone is, they can't become a Crown because there is no one to crown us of that power! And I guess it applies to him as well." Gradius guessed.

"That's right. When Kyros and we fell here, we could tell the limitation. The efforts of men can only reach a certain level. Unless there is a god or fallen among us who can wield and command the flow of the universe, no crowns can give. That's why we spent several months experimenting and studying how to be Crownless Cultivators. Luckily, we found Codes and Corruption that can help us become Crowns..."

Above, the power around Lanthanou began to surge as the dangerous finger that contained potent energy continued adding more energy to him.

"Should I attack him now?" Gradius asked.

"Too risky. We don't know if that being will send an attack on us. We know that Histerion's power of wielding the scroll is protecting us. But let's not trigger the real form of Lanthanou."

Soon, the image of the Crown appeared. It was a black crown that seemed to be on the verge of fading.

Rachel and Lea instantly forgot about the crown; only Listrel and Gradius could see it.

"A Crown faces two budding seeds who received a premature Crown and two other Crownless Grendelors. You all will perish!" Lanthanou decreed.

"Let us end this! You pulled a fast one on me. When I wrestled with the memories of Xermolipi, the real her on the other world from remembering, you guys attacked this place to get the Celestial Code! How cunning! But it ends now! I applaud the Nephilim for being able to keep up the fight, Histerion. But I will end his hopes! Let all the forgotten rage from their graves! Let their hatred and despair for attaining Oblivion rage against those who are remembered! Let the Forgotten Ones devour the Remembered! I summon you by my Crown!"

The entire world began to tremble as the skies parted. The finger of Lanthanou harnessed great energy and called on another power.

The souls of those who were forgotten began to resonate, and many souls departed the Brimstone Beasts and formed another army!
