The power of Codes and Corruption could not easily be passed on. Gods and Fallen have to give this power and claim the practitioners as their own to wield power. Those who are actual descendants can easily wield power. Those who aren't descendants endowed with power have to take on the na of God or Fallen.
The na was not just for show. The title bestowed on the person was the god or fallen, imbuing the ability to make the known universe submit to it and treat the nad individual as part of the power of the great god.
Kyros had no na from Daradiel or is a direct descendant. And yet his mories guided by his wisdom allowed such power.
Calaminus was intently observing the miracle before him. Even if Kyros had the experience, trying to wield and call on the power of the elents directly, and even by using the allure of the Chard Fallen, could not work. But then realization struck Calaminus. Kyros had one power that he had been using several tis, which aided in his ability to do quick actions. Even the half-light, a half-dark form that Kyros has shown could be explained through this.
Calaminus connected with Kyros and accessed the Soul Console.
And as he did, he saw a long list of programd codes that dictated how each Elent would work and how Kyros's body would respond.
The three Souls of Kyros were working together. Earth was being wielded by Kyros's Soul. As a man of neutral state and born from the dust of the earth, this soul was the best to wield the Earth energy.
The Ancient Source harnessed the power of Fire as the Ancient God's were primarily creatures of Light. In the elental theories, Fire was closest to Light and was the best source to wield it.
The Fallen Source wielded the wind. Ti and Space magic was closely associated with the power of Dark and the Fallen. As Kyros had both the power of Kyriachos and the power of Ti, he focused both energies on his Fallen Source to direct the commands of gathering wind. Dark, Ti, and Space were elents closest to the darkness, and it could even be said that these two powers were related.
Kyros began to pant as the powers disappeared.
"Still lacking. But I know what to do." Kyros then began to open the Soul Console and slowly updated the codes.
"The fragnt?! This is really how you did it? Each of your souls was acting on it?!"
"Yeah. All I had to do was a pump in Force and Magic. If only I have the power of the soul. I would be able to wield another. This is hard!"
"Hard?! You call harnessing the power of a god whose Code you don't have hard?! That's impossible!"
"I have to. The Necromancer will surely give us a big surprise. What happened to the Okto-Khefali of this place? It's definitely with the Necromancer. Imagine an undead Okto-Khefali appearing in this place!"
"Right! The Okto-Khefali! I forgot about that!"
"We don't know if it's an ally of the Necromancer or if the Okto-Khefali is the enemy. I expected it to appear here, but it didn't appear yet. So either it's still sealed in this ti, or if it's already allied or has beco an undead summon of that Necromancer. In any case, I need to gain back as much power as I can, and the fighting style of a Celestial paladin has had a lifeti of practice!"
"Then you should study your dad's discoveries. He is now a Knight Templar, after all. A Celestial Knight Templar sounds aweso!"
"That's the third priority." Kyros answered.
"Third? What's second?"
It was then that Dyne noticed several people looking at him.
"Erm... What?"
"How?" Derus asked.
"Rember Astra's power? She invoked the power of the Celestial Code. I'm sort of acquainted with the God who has that power. So I took inspiration and used the Corruption of the Chard Fallen to erm... do sothing. You already read up on the theories of Words of Power, right? My words won't have power, but by calling out to the Elents and using the Chard Fallen, I can do it."
"But that's impossible! If it were that easy to command the elents, the Chard Fallen could have done this! How can you hear the voice of the elents?!" The Blood Calamity exploded in anger.
Kyros glanced at the Blood Calamity.
"Don't get mad. You're cute when you smile." Kyros answered.
The Blood Calamity's red-angered face turned into a blush.
"That- That's- You! I hate you!"
"Tsundere..." Martha sighed at the side.
Scarlet continued to pretend to concentrate on wielding the elents, but her hand was trembling.
Avary sighed as he saw Scarlet.
Reptilia also shook her head.
"I could teach you." Kyros gave a aningful smile.
"Wha-what?!"
"The power to wield this Code. For a being that has transcended Celestial ranks and is close to cultivating to a god, I bet learning how to do what I did can help you grow stronger."
"Why are you helping soone like ?" The Blood Calamity frowned.
"I'm not helping you. I'm helping chiel. You and her soul are tied together, after all. Your strength becos her strength. It's easier now that she has your soul. Your call and your power can spill over, and she might just be able to call upon the power of the Chard Fallen through you." Kyros smiled.
"Hmph! You're a fool for thinking this. And let guess... you want to teach you how to channel the power of the Chard Fallen?"
"Yes. This also is important. Since if I want to practice that, I'd have to make myself vulnerable to your spell. Aren't you tired of being our captive?"
"Your arrogance will be the end of you! Fine! I accept!"
"Good!" Kyros laughed as he motioned to make the Blood Calamity draw closer.
chiel moved, and Kyros brought them to the middle of the Temple where Kyros was once sealed.
"Everyone else, go back to your training. Calaminus. Be sure to guide everyone."
"Alright. You kids be careful." Calaminus answered.
"What do we do?" chiel asked.
Kyros sat down in a crossed leg position.
"Sit down and hold my hand. I need to show you what power I draw out to call the elents. And I'm assuming the Blood Calamity has Dark Link. It would be easier if she could link directly to so I would be communicating directly to your soul."
"Al-alright." chiel sat down with a shy expression, and the two were facing each other.
"Let's test it. Hold on to my hand and see if you can hear my words." Kyros instructed.
chiel nodded, and both closed their eyes.
It was as if they were standing in a dark world. Yet even though there seed to be no light, the two could see each other.
"Where is this? This is like a dream!" chiel was amazed.
"Oh? It looks like the Blood Calamity wants a ho-court advantage." Kyros laughed as he recognized the place.
"What?! Then we better stop now, Lord Kyros! This place is too-"
"I'm glad Fate led to you, chiel." Kyros called out.
"I..." chiel's blush turned brighter. But then her expression changed.
"Lord Kyros. I feel that Fate is telling that we will... end up fighting. But, even now, the Blood Calamity is-" She trembled as she spoke these words.
"We will. The binding of souls between you and the Blood Calamity makes you a person of Destiny."
"Then... We are enemies?"
"Yes. But don't worry. Sothing so trivial as Destiny won't keep us apart. The journey will be difficult, and it often seems that us fighting and killing each other would be inevitable. But I won't let you go. I promise you."
chiel trembled as she heard those words.
"Why... do you show such favor?" chiel asked.
"I can't answer that. But it involves a lot of gods." Kyros chuckled.
"Are we really like your mother and father?"
"Sothing like that. Two souls destined for each other but cursed to be apart. Shall we fight the chains that guide our future together and break free from them?"
"Yes!" chiel smiled.
"Try to be in control and fight back when the Blood Calamity tries to act. You and her share the sa soul. She's just a parasite. So don't let her have her way."
"Yes, Lor-"
"And no Lord Kyros for you. You best get used to calling by my na, chiel."
"I... It doesn't seem right. You are strong, powerful, and is the leader of this group. I dare not call the Nephilim casually."
"It's a bit too early to call husband." Kyros chuckled again.
"That's not what I-!" chiel turned red.
"Then call Kyros. But I guess it does feel weird. We just t, after all. So I guess I'll wait for the ti when our closeness and familiarity allows you to drop this silly courtesy."
"Your words of seduction won't work on ." A dark shadow slowly took shape behind chiel, and it transford into the figure of a woman of great beauty. What was amazing was that the woman looked like an adult chiel.
Kyros froze as he saw it. It was the sa appearance that chiel had in their past life.
The Blood Calamity saw that her power worked, and she smiled a sinister smile.
"Stop!" chiel shouted.
The Blood Calamity stopped as she felt her body quiver.
"You!"
"You're in my soul! So behave!"
"What...?! This place...! Its links us both!" The Blood Calamity realized what had happened, and Kyros regained control. It was then that the Blood Calamity realized that the words of seduction she believed Kyros to say weren't ant for her but to grant chiel more power to resist.
"That was scary. Thanks, chiel! Anyway, Blood Calamity. The best way to learn the Celestial Code, is to experience it. I want you to do the calling, and I will hear its voice.. Can you help ?" Kyros asked, ignoring the situation that nearly led to his death.
