Chapter 374 Fire To Douse
Mechiel\'s training focused on wielding and controlling water. She now had the power to command water and freely move it. Kyros had taught her and allowed her to train in this. But the foundation of Mechiel\'s water spell was actually another power that the Blood Calamity already had.
Her power to command blood was passed on to the water. And by using the Corruption of Charm, the element of water was pulled and tamed along with her blood. Mechiel had to go through a lot of training, and ultimately, her current form could control the most waters that she had.
And she wielded the power of the water and created Water Weapons. She crafted small darts of water that had a bit of blood at the tip of these weapons, and then she suddenly shot it all out towards the incoming Brimstone Beast. These darts were small but had high offensive power as the energy of blood and water was focused, and it was compressed. So what looked like a small dart of water actually had a huge amount, nearly triple the actual volume of what it appeared to be.
STAB! STAB! STAB!
The water darts pierced right inside the Brimstone Beasts. But the Brimstone Beasts kept moving in.
Mechiel watched as the beasts continued to run and were worried that the effects of her attack wouldn\'t work.
"Will it work? Lord Calaminus said they would blow up..." So she watched and prepared to use her other planned attacks in case this one wouldn\'t work.
The Brimstone Beasts began to run but inside them was the small dart of water. The heat of the brimstone was too hot, and the sudden injection of this small but thick dart caused the water to expand.
The archers observed if the mystery of what Lord Miracle said would happen.
And it did.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The brimstone beats that were rushing forward suddenly began to explode and began to tremble, and the parts where the darts were shot created small explosions. The lava that made their body began to surge out as these small explosions burst out them.
The eruption exposed the brimstone core of the beasts all the more, and Mechiel signaled to which a small team of archers had landed at the side. They jumped from the top of the tree and used the leaves to glide themselves down on the ground. They began to shoot their arrows right at the core, and the attacks pierced through easily.
These people were not even captains, and they hadn\'t perfectly mastered Force like the High Bows, and their Force energy couldn\'t penetrate through the thick armors of the Brimstone beasts.
But with the hardened portion of the brimstone blown off, the core was easily struck by the water enchanted bows, and it caused the core to leak out, causing these beasts to die as the core controlling their form was damaged.
Mechiel kept shooting and shooting her water darts, and the archers behind her kept on attacking. Morale was high. These people had never killed a Brimstone Beast in all that time, but now they could shoot and kill these beasts with a single attack.
At the front of the battlefield, Histerion created a powerful slash that threw Kyros back. But then, Histeiron glanced at the side and frowned.
Kyros noticed it and turned around to see the battle of Mechiel progress to their advantage.
Water was being replenished, and the entire Brimstone Beast couldn\'t push through.
"I can\'t believe it worked." Kyros shook his head as he saw it.
"How did that happen?" Histerion frowned.
"Calaminus could explain." Kyros chuckled.
"Ah, I knew it would be you." Histerion chuckled.
"Histerion, you may have Brimstone and all the advantage of this strange world. But The author spent an entire night researching and watching online videos of what happens when you inject the water directly into a pile of molten lava! The science is clear. The application is sure!" Calaminus laughed arrogantly.
"Oh? Do tell!"
"The author took the idea from credible science sites, which explain that when water is injected rapidly into a column of lava, the water will rush upwards and then mix with the molten rock. This will destabilize the vapor created by something known as the Leidenfrost effect. It\'s a scientific term that explains the effect of dropping liquid on a surface that is vastly hotter than itself! Anyway, the destabilization of the vapor will cause the unprotected water to expand rapidly and add stress on the lava, or in this case, the Brimstone beast. And BOOM! It explodes! I had to change how the site explained it to avoid copyright hits."
"Ah, disregarding your many confusing words, I think I can sense what is happening. But this would not be possible if that girl was so skilled in wielding water, and she could even compress it! Is she a step away from becoming a Water Artificer? What a rare talent..."
"Yeah! Science, bitch!" Calaminus ignored Histerion and carried out another insult.
"Still as weird as ever." Histerion chuckled and charged again at Kyros, and the two continued their fight.
Mechiel was slowly gaining ground as more and more of the archers arrived. Those that couldn\'t even cultivate were there and assisted the team by using crossbows that used the wood of the tree creating powerful attacks that reached captain level.
To the side, Lea stood with a dark, pitch-black armor made of the sea.
"Though the light of the cosmic entities of suns and stars can pierce through the darkest void, it cannot reach the depths of the sea." So Lea stood as the power of water and darkness combined.
As a Grendelor, she was already a natural at harnessing darkness and water. But as she studied the power of Kyriachos that Kyros gave her, she began to understand the power and the Corruption that her race had always carried. The power of water and darkness that her race commands were due to a Corruption known as the Abyss. The bottomless darkness untouched by the light created oceans and seas that heat could not conquer. Through this power, the oceans remained even as the Codes of Astra gave birth to numerous stars and suns.
Lea was a genius who even surpassed the Blood Calamity in aiming for a certain goal. In this world where these two largely Dark Dependent beings could not find a source of energy, Lea was the first to find power through the water. The Blood Calamity could do this in theory if she finds the divide and substance in water.
The seas behind her began to turn dark. The abyss that dwells deep under the seas had risen, and this darkness gathered around her.
Histerion noticed it and had another amazing expression.
"Impressive. She has awakened the Corruption of Avyssos."
In Lea\'s meditation, she found a trace, the last will, and power of Avyssos, as she allowed herself to fall into a Dark Maddening state.
And the power of Avyssos was opened to her, and she became the bearer of the remnant power of this state. Just as Kyros said, Fate had prepared this timeline. Avyssos\'s greatest presence was found in the Planesworld. And the remnant power sought and found its new host in Lea.
The darkness of the sea became her armor. Lea raised her fist and could feel the pulsating power.
"Commander level." She smiled as she charged forward.
BOOM!
The entire land shook as she leaped forward as the speed surpassed the speed of sound.
BANG!
She appeared in front of a forming Brimstone giant, and her fist plunged deep into its core.
"So this is the inverse of Brimstone? Purging Light and solid Earth makes Brimstone. But Devouring Darkness and fluid water make the Abyss." She smiled as her punch instantly caused an explosion of water and created the same explosive effect Mechiel created on her attacks.
The Brimstone Beast began to charge at her as if they had found their greatest enemy.
Lea chuckled and cracked her fist.
"Come at me, all of you. I have a lot of fire to douse with the dark water I carry." She laughed as she allowed the Dark Maddening to take over.
The power of Avyssos enveloped her, and her form began to transform. Awakening the Corruption allowed Lea to tap into the primal form of the Grendelor before their race intermingled with the many species in creation.
Several tails like her own erupted out and became like tentacles. Her face also transformed, and numerous tentacles erupted out and covered her face. She became part octopus and part grendelor.
"I\'d never thought I\'d ever see an Abyssmon again. Their race has been wiped of true History. My praise to you, Nephilim, for allowing this power to be hidden even from my eyes." Histerion offered his words as he kept clashing with Kyros.
The army of Brimstone Beast charged bravely toward Lea, but Lea reached out her hands, and the tentacles extended out and stabbed the approaching beasts at their core.
"ROAR!" Lea gave a terrifying shout as many more dark tentacles of water exploded and attacked the incoming beasts.
"Do you see the tide of this battle turning?" Kyros chuckled.
"Pun intended. The seas that remained which endured this brimstone world will be our victory!" Kyros declared.
"So it seems. But I will apologize, dear Nephilim, for I will not take defeat easily. Brimstone can easily call on the power of Codes and Corruption too. Prepare to fight the avatar of Pyron!" Massive fire energy began to erupt outside of Histerion\'s form. He looked like a knight being consumed by the fire.
