Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 437 Releasing The Serpent
The Eldrich Noble used his power to create a severe drought as his Fire and Earth elemental powers purged every moisture in the area when he fought Lea.
He knew the true form of Lea's bloodline and knew its weakness. He was one of the Eldrich Nobles that naturally had two elemental affinities often giving them strange and powerful power.
The Fire and Earth that he had could not become Brimstone for he did not have holy. But through Fire, the Earth energy was drained and turned into sand. This special ability that he had was perfect to subdue and kidnap Lea Olethros who was reportedly believed to have mysteriously lived again! The Olethros were beings born of water! And here power would be it's bane!
After days of pursuit and finally locating her, they clashed and he believed that he had managed to gravely weaken Lea.
Lea fled and hid in the marshlands where she could fight the Eldrich Noble and used the moisture in the forest to counter him.
But Lea's last stand was easily countered as the Eldrich Noble turned the place into a desert!
He was constantly draining the moisture and was preventing Lea from harnessing her powers! He thought he had won as he made an arrogant display of his powers.
But as he stomped on Lea's figure, he suddenly saw a vision! He was no longer in the swampland but it was as if he was at the very bottom of the ocean and glanced at the never-ending abyss. Then suddenly, eyes appeared out of the darkness and glanced at him!
A massive beast that the Eldrich identified as the ancient Leviathan was there!
"Aren't you... a little thirsty?" Lea's voice resounded.
BOOM!
Profound energy of water blasted through the Eldrich as the vision ended.
Lea had sent a powerful punch towards the Eldrich as a faint crown appeared over her head.
But unlike Lea's former Crown, the crown she had had now transformed. It was the Crown of Hydron!
The water blasted out and ravaged the insides of the Eldrich Noble.
BOOM!
Another explosion occurred as the force energy of Lea appeared and blew the Eldrich Noble flying through the marsh. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Eldrich Noble managed to regain his balance after flying for nearly a kilometer out. His entire body was cracking as the sand armor was cracking from the punch. The power of water was disrupting his recovery. He spat out blood and glanced back at Lea who was charging at him.
"You... dare!" The Eldrich roared as he harnessed his great magic abilities to create several large stone swords that were burning with fire.
The massive swords shot out towards her but Lea did not stop as she assumed her Grendelor form once more.
The scales returned and her figure appeared to even more perfect than she once did.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Lea casually blocked the attacks and slapped them.
Her Force energy would surge like water and dispel the dryness and heat of the attacks.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
The powerful magic that would have drained and devoured anything was easily slapped aside! Lea wasn't even harmed in touching these powers!
Lea charged forward and sent yet another punch on the Eldrich.
"Don't be too arrogant! [Form of Erimos]!" The Eldrich shouted and a powerful heat appeared as his entire body became covered with burning sand. A crown formed over him and a faint appearance of a massive golem monster appeared.
"A Gigantes Descendant? Interesting." Lea smiled as she saw the avatar that the Eldrich formed.
The explosive power caused all mortals up to a hundred kilometers away to sense the horrifying power. Crowns don't ever show their power in the Lowlands. The strongest that the Lowlands have are Commanders!
The nearby kingdoms of orcs and humans were shocked at the power that they felt and were all alarmed.
Far out in the north, near the borders leading to the Midlands, Listrel frowned and turned around.
"So even she got attacked... She must be very certain that she can kill the enemy if she would allow the enemy to reveal a Crown power like that." Listrel thought for a bit.
"I get it. She played possum to gather more information from the enemy. And she must have landed a strong attack that forced her enemy to bring out her full power to defeat Lea after Lea made a powerful attack. Ironic. She's the one aligned to the darkness and I am the one following the torturous path." Listrel laughed as she stabbed the sword deeper into Eldrich's chest.
Back south, a large giant taking the form of a bear-like beast stood over the marshlands. He had a body made of burning sands and the area around him was turning into dry sand.
"[Desolate the World]!" The Eldrich Noble shouted as his two giant arms clapped at Lea.
Lea didn't retreat but smiled as the two giant sand arms approached to crush her.
BOOM!
The Eldrich Noble was stunned as he stood at the very core of the giant golem.
"She... didn't dodge?"
It seemed too easy!
But then the Eldrich Noble could sense resistance at the palm of his hands.
He could feel that inside the burning sands of his two arms was Lea! Powerful water energy was blasting out and was resisting the dry, and parched power!
"You fool! You dare think that you could defend against this with your Grendelor power? You have a shocking power in Water, but in this form, all moisture will be burned up!"
The power of Fire and Earth combined as the sands sought to drain every moisture in the land.
But as he sent out the heat, the water was not being drained! The water wasn't even cold! But the Eldrich noticed that there was a strong dark energy in the water that made it so resistant!
"How is this possible?! What kind of water is this?!"
"This is your power? I guess this should be what I would expect on something that attempted to imitate his power. The burning coals of molten earth and lava were far more terrifying than this. But no matter, you served its purpose. I wanted to try... I was already a Crown before I went into that accursed world. The lack of Codes and Corruption limited my powers. I wonder... Just how strong I am now? But I dared not to release even a small portion of my power. But you are now masking my powers in your attempt to dry me up, right? Let's see what happens if I release the Leviathan in me." Lea laughed as she allowed the serpent within her that accompanied to Corruption of Hydron to explode out.
The Leviathan emerged out as small snakes that drilled out on two palms of the giant and the Eldrich was shocked. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
"No! Impossible! How can such water overpower my energy?! Die! [Form of Erimos]! [Birth of Brimstone]!"
Harnessing and channeling the ace of their magic, the Eldrich revealed the power that catapulted them to a great standing. Unlike the people of the Highlands or the beings of the Netherlands who were either Light Empowered or Dark Dependent. They channeled the power of both. The power of Unholy appeared and turned the fiery sands into pseudo brimstone energy!
The heat intensified as the sand demon became brimstone.
But even with such heat, he could not drain or defeat the water serpent coiling inside. It wasn't the potency of the power anymore. Lea's waters were evaporating. But there was just so much of it coming out!
"Monster! How... can you have so much water?! How can you be... a Leviathan!? They have died long ago!"
"I was lucky enough to find one that was close to being resurrected!" Lea laughed as her entire body became the Leviathan.
"Now die!" Lea charged out and was like a sword that easily stabbed through the two palms of the golem.
Lea charged right into the core heart of the golem where she knew the Eldrich was.
"Die!" But the Eldrich gambled it all.
Using their own dark art, he created a power similar to [Last Stand]! He consumed a huge amount of his spirit to empower the Brimstone and create the strongest earth defense around him.
The brimstone energy that he created was exceedingly hot and incredibly resilient. Most Crown Nobles of his level wouldn't be able to break it even if they used an inverse element!
STAB!
But it was all meaningless.
The Leviathan was coated in black and hardened the tip of its snout like a needle.
"What....?" The Eldrich couldn't believe it.
Lea's two arms had stabbed inside the Eldrich. Her entire skin had transformed into a dark, shiny stone.
"Obsidian. My specialty. It has great strength and defenses against Brimstone. You'd need to be diamond to resist my power!" Lea laughed as pulled her arms sideways and ripped apart the Eldrich.
The entire golem collapsed as the Eldrich died.
Lea held on to the body of the Eldrich.
"It's a Crown Eldrich Noble. Do you need it?" Lea asked as she communicated with Kyros via Dark Link.
