From the purest darkness that made up space that covered the entire universe, the brightest light shone.

It only appeared for a split second as Kyros felt his entire body being drained of his magic pool. The Fallen Source of Kyros was also being drained.

The Fallen Source that Kyros had was also used up. As a result, his 152 points dropped to 6 as the conversion ate up a huge amount of his darkness. 

Kyros was without Force energy, magic, Ancient Source, and his Fallen Source was almost spent. If he lost these six points, he would die from losing all energy in his body. With very little energy left, Kyros lost his balance and fell.

The first thing Kyros did was look at the form of Blood Calamity.

"Still alive?!" Kyros cursed. 

"That woman took the Kyriacho's dark-turned-light and still survived!" Kyros began to crawl towards the woman slowly. 

"Kyros! You're back!" Calaminus was relieved.

"Yeah. I was too arrogant. I shouldn't have drunk her blood. I met Kyriachos because of that, though."

"Kyriachos?! The Lord of the Fallen?!"

"Yes. Unlike Hyperion, that Fallen seems to be sealed in me!"

"Sealed inside of you?"

"Yes. He wanted to take over my body, but we ended up becoming friends, I guess."

"He was sealed in you, tried to devour you, and is now your friend. Did Kyriachos have... nine tails?"

"Can you please be serious! We almost died there! Anyway, he helped me return here. We'll talk later. I need to recover my strength!" Kyros explained as he kept crawling towards the burnt features of the Blood Calamity.

"You... That power...!" The Blood Calamity regained her consciousness and was crawling back. Her wings were burned off as she used the wings to shield her from the blast. But the power was still too much for her to resist, and it tore through her wings and began to purge her soul.

"Just give up, girl. Be happy that you made me fall into such dire straits." Kyros laughed as he continued to worm his way towards the barely moving body of the Blood Calamity.

"I should say the same thing to you." A cold and angry voice was heard behind Kyros.

Kyros was startled at the sound and gathered all the remaining strength he had to push him upwards.

A powerful force struck the ground where Kyros was lying down.

BOOM!

An explosion of darkness occurred under Kyros and sent Kyros flying to the side and crashing on a nearby pillar.

Kyros spat out a lot of blood as he slid down into a seated position. In his view, he could see the attacker.

It was the Blood Calamity. She had a similar form from her soul avatars. The only difference was that this succubus looks frail and thinner, and she had two blood stomps near her shoulder as if the wings she had before were ripped off.

"There was another blood drop?!" Kyros gritted his teeth. He had already sensed all the blood droplets of the Blood Calamity, and this one wasn't among the counted. Kyros had explored a good part of the mountain through his Coven and the reports of Grugnyr. With their help, he believed that there were no other towns, villages, or platoons that the Blood Calamity might have attacked. Kyros had constantly been communicating with Grugnyr, who was now in the main fortress and was invited to discuss with the orc leaders what he saw.

The orcs discussed and laid out all the troops they had and knew that there were no other areas that the Blood Calamity attacked.

Kyros paid careful attention to this since the possibility of the Blood Calamity having another Avatar would lead to his death. And even when he attacked the Soul avatar and made the other scream in pain, Kyros was careful to count all of them.

So the appearance of another was surprising. But as Kyros took a more careful look at the Blood Calamity, he realized what this was.

"The main body!" 

The Blood Calamity absorbed the weak avatar before her and drank all of its blood.

She glanced at her hands and frowned.

"How pitifully weak. I don't have much blood remaining, thanks to you. I'm even weaker now than when I was sealed back then." The Blood Calamity cursed. She turned towards Kyros and began to walk slowly. As she approached, she began to reach out on the strange wounded stomps right over her back to seal the wound.

"You nearly got my blood that I even had to sacrifice my wings to send that attack. And you're quite dextrous to dodge that attack!" The Blood Calamity continued to complain. The wound on her back was closed.

"Growing blacks wings take a lot of effort, you know. And yet, to save my self, I had to force my way out of that Chrysalis and ignored those chains that bounded my wings! But no matter. After I beat you, I'll just connect those wings again."

Kyros was silent. He had very little strength to move after exerting himself.

"On my command, Calaminus." Kyros quietly ordered as he gazed defiantly towards the approaching Blood Calamity.

"How did you get out of your seal?"

"That was thanks to you. Unfortunately, your light attacked damaged the seals in this place. These Pillars consonantly disrupt the flow of Fallen Source in my body by siphoning it. But these many pillars that seal me use spells of the Dark alignment to make sure that I cannot use my soul avatars to destroy the pillars. And while it is very resistant to other dark magics, the light you released easily destroyed those seals from the outside and allowed me to harness energy again." The Blood Calamity laughed as she pointed towards the place behind her where she was sealed.

Because of the illusions, Kyros didn't see the very location where the body of the Blood Calamity was.

Three large pillars were carrying a large black metallic sea. In the middle of these three pillars were the shattered remains of a large crystal-like rock. This chrysalis contained the real body of the Blood Calamity.

Kyros could see that two wings were hanging on the chains tied to a dark metallic seal.

With one look, Kyros knew what had happened. The Blood Calamity immediately broke out of her seal as Kyros was so near her Avatar. She was so desperate that she charged forwards and shot the dark at Kyros. But as she forcibly pushed herself forward, she ignored the fact that she was still bound to the seal. This caused her dark wings to be yanked off as they remained attached to the chains. 

"I'm not sure If I should hate you or thank you. You did make me suffer great pains in my soul. I haven't been so hurt for a long, long time. Even those who sealed me here did so without harming me. You sliced up my soul, ate a portion of it, and purged another portion. But on the other hand, your the reason why I managed to break the seal. It would have taken me a long time to get out." The Blood Calamity moved closer to observe Kyros's body.

"I wonder. Should I eat you now? You appear to be on death's doors. You've run out of Force Energy, Magic, and Source Energy. But that light is quite powerful. I don't want to taint my tongue with holy energy." The Blood Calamity mused.

"On the other hand, you bear the power of Lord Kyriachos and can control it! If I eat you, I'll be the second Fallen being that has drank of Lord Kyriachos's Code and not turn into a raging monster of destruction." The Blood Calamity's expression turned to that of anticipation and delight.

"Looks like it's game over for me. Can you at least tell me who I am? Who are End and Beginning? Or at least about Destiny and Fate!" Kyros sighed and closed his eyes.

"At least let me die knowing the truth."

"Why should I tell you? After all those painful attacks, I should torture you. But since I don't have the luxury, I guess dying with so many questions and regrets is better." The Blood Calamity stood before Kyros.

Kyros was on the floor and was only a few feet before the main body of the Blood Calamity.

The Blood Calamity immediately reached down to pick Kyros up.

"Now!" Kyros ordered.

[Calaminus used Tackle!]

Calaminus used his abilities to lift Kyros's palm upwards.

He intentionally delayed and talked to keep the Blood Calamity busy as he checked on the descriptions of that spell.

After confirming its use, Kyros then ordered Calaminus to prepare.

Kyros was drained of all power. But this was not only the power he could muster. 

Deep in Airom Vagat, in the Nephilim Sealing Temple, the beams of the Temple that gave light and the Holy aura that allowed Branze to study more about being a Paladin was swiftly being drained. The beams grew dim as the Holy Energy was used up.

The magic was being transferred and was using the link of Kyros to send the concentrated energy that was ready for attack.

As Kyros's palm faced towards the Blood Calamity, Kyros used that attack.

"[Holy Beam]!"

ZAP!

A powerful beam of light shot out and attacked the Blood Calamity.

The Blood Calamity swiftly pushed her two hands forward and harnessed powerful dark energy on her hands, and created a large dark shield to block the incoming laser.

BOOM!

The beam struck the dark shield and penetrated through it, and caused more and more explosions.

BOOM! BOOM!

The body of the Blood Calamity was soon blown away from the beam, and she was sent flying off and slamming through several pillars before coming to a stop.

Kyros looked at the drops of blood that spilled on the floor as he shot the Blood Calamity.

"Calaminus. I might fall into madness again. But I have to drink that blood!"
