Ascension of the Nephilim

656  Class Essay Strategy

The opening of the ceiling, which led to the next floor, was a marvelous sight to behold.

The work was purely created by manipulating Earthen magic, allowing the stones to open up and reveal a grand sight from above.

Energy conversion circles were formed and created a seal that increased gravity and caused magic and force to weaken.

Many of the Teachers had stumbled down, and even a few of the Senior teachers managed to stay up.

The two Two-Star experts watched and did not have impressed expressions.

"This... this is unfair!" One of the teachers cried.

"What kind of tests is this that pits us as equals with Senior teachers?!" One of the teachers shouted and turned to a Master Teacher watching from outside.

The Master Teachers were at the peak of the school's hierarchy and moving closer to becoming Pedagogs. As such, they were not included in the test.

The Master Teacher that the Teacher called out to turn red as this teacher spoke of something foolish.

"Foolish! The Pedagogs and the Two-Star Experts, those two Great Ones, would not be so dull to create such a test!" The Senior Teacher, who was the senior disciple of the teacher, corrected.

"What?!" The teacher was amazed.

"This is a grand spell!" The teacher argued.

"Foolish one! Open your eyes! Some Seniors are struggling, but some teachers remain steadfast!"

The teacher turned and saw it. He recognized that some teachers stronger than him would fall while some weaker teachers would rise.

"This is part of the test! Figure it out!" The senior cursed.

Zwelus then chuckled as he turned to Emeros.

Emeros needed his staff, but he did far better than other teachers.

"Teacher Emeros. Since you are the one everyone looks down upon, would it humor you to explain what you see? Your expertise in Energy Conversion Circle surpasses even Senior Teachers here." Zwelus smiled. He was seeking an opportunity to let Emeros shine.

"This energy conversion circle harnesses great earthen power. I can see many symbols and calls on earth. It gathers the energy of the Floating Continents magnetism and intensifies the gravity within this point. The Two Star experts of the Continents Above the Sky are controlling the energy. But this is not all. The great Pedagogs of our land have added a unique power and created an Enchantment caused by that great artifact at the center."

"Oh...? Impressive that you could see the artifact." One of the Pedagogs smiled as he tapped towards the empty space next to him.

A strange ripple appeared as he did, and a floating transparent golden stone with a glyph at the center appeared.

"Earthen Spirit Artifact!" Many of the teachers recognized it.

Emeros also saw the enchantment and was amazed.

The legacy of Enchantment was believed to be lost. Even in Kyros's first life, no powerful enchanted 16:22

artifacts were equal to this level. There were numerous levels of enchantments. But Alchemy, Energy Conversion Circles, and Blacksmith could create and replicate most lower-leveled forms. But a natural Enchantment would have a life and knowledge of its own.

In Kyros's second life, several powerful Enchantments were met. The Nephilim Sealing Temple and its upgraded form, the Fortress, was a powerful Enchanted Abode. The weapons of Kyros and his allies were Enchanted items that had not been awakened. But perhaps the greatest example of the Path of Enchantment was the Gigantes race. They were a race created through Enchantments.

But now, Emeros saw an enchanted object and could not help but grow curious.

"Was this path sealed when King Vasilius sealed this world? No matter. This path of power should be revived and brought back to mortal hands! Kyros will have it, and I will take this power!" Emeros decided.

"The Earthen Spirit Artifact is the perfect artifact to designate and direct the gravity being released by the Two-star expert. It can gauge our strengths as the Energy Conversion Circle has the Gauge spell written over it to identify our strengths, force levels, and magic." Emeros explained.

Zwelus, who was smiling, was now surprised. He was amazed at how clearly Emeros was able to explain the circumstance.

"And you must be Emeros. The boy who is pretty much at the center of this entire debacle. I charge you, young one. Speak the truth and answer me! I invoke the call for truth! Are you from the Continents Above the Sky?" One of the two Two-Star Experts asked.

A great power shot down and convicted Emeros.

"No," Emeros answered.

But as he spoke the words, a strange remnant power in him grew uncomfortable.

And then, Emeros was freed from the nefarious binds that had secretly enveloped him.

Emeros realized he answered without thinking. In fact, if not for that power that grew uncomfortable, he would not have learned that he was being drawn in by a secret power.

"He's... not!?" One of the Pedagogs was amazed but did his best to hide his surprise.

Emeros had a serious expression.

"That man... he was using a strange magic. A power that urged me to speak the truth. It bound me to speak the truth far stronger than any elixir of truth. So, this man must be of a powerful family. As the Crows could make slaves, this family has this power to urge them to speak the truth!" Emeros trembled.

He wanted to move away, but gravity was pressing down on him so that even his magic and force could no longer circulate.

"Hmp. Not of the Continents Above the Sky? Liar! Tell me this! Where does the heritage of your strength truly come from?" The Two-Star Expert changed his question. He wanted to learn where Emeros was.

Emeros felt the urge to speak, but Emeros recalled the figure of his father. It was as if a spirit of Pseudos trembled.

Behind the question of the man was a drive for Emeros to answer what the questioner truly wanted to know. And this question was designed to drive out the truth of Emeros's power.

Emeros felt his mouth open as he was about to speak the name of Vasilius!

"No!" Emeros struggled internally and tried to draw out the power of Kyros.

Within his body were many tattoos of circles and glyphs. The letters of Pseudos, Sophia, and many others of the known gods and fallen were written. But as of this moment, the ones that shone the most were Pseudos and Calaminus.

"Notwithstanding that, your question encompasses a vast and deep history of many families and names; the inexplicable and unavoidable truth that explains my powers' essence and core attributes cannot be easily discerned in a single sentence or word. Nay, it would even require a look at three lifetimes. And possibly more before these three lifetimes came to be. The answer lies in the past, the present, and even in the future. It's an answer that spans from the beginning to the end. So, this question requires an in-depth analysis and must be viewed not by the current lenses that our society has. Perchance. We must look beyond ourselves and outside the known views of whatever legacies this region has unknowingly established. The massive magnitude of secrets and truths is not enough to be answered by the countervailing desire of a simple worded answer..." Emeros began.

Harnessing the power of Calaminus, Emeros began to prolong and lengthen his answer as Calaminus would do when writing a thesis or an essay that requires a word count. This was the basic strategy for completing class assignments in one of the worlds where Calaminus was incarnated. And now, Emeros brought it to this world!

As Emeros began to answer in truth, though, in a long-winding and confusing pattern, thanks to the glyphs of Calaminus and Pseudos, the old man above was running out of mana from the powerful charge that used up soul energy!

"For example, a single word, such as the egg. What makes it the egg? Is it the yolk? The shell? Or the egg? Are they not all parts of one whole? Together, we find that this trinitarian element of the yolk, the shell, and the egg makes up the egg. But each of those elements is called part of the egg. We see an eggshell, we say, it's an egg. We see the white of the egg. We say it's an egg. We see the yolk of the egg, and we say, it's an egg. In this concept, the trinity is revealed to be a relevant consideration when trying to define the egg. Therefore, in attempting to define the root causes, legacies, powers, and principalities that somehow define my current level of knowledge, we would have to look across the universe. What made me? Love. The love of my father and mother. And why-"

"ENOUGH!" The Two Star Expert slammed his staff, generating a powerful gravitational pull that caused Emeros to fall.

But numerous vines shot down and became like branches that held Emeros standing up. It was as if Emeros had become a tree.

"Those damned brats! My master was answering their question truthfully!" Vivindel spoke in rage but only sent this hateful message for Emeros.

Emeros wore a shocked expression. He seemed lost and confused.

The Pedagog ally of this expert observed Emeros.

"...Incredible. A spell that made him answer in truth. First was the attack that nearly killed this boy. Now this... Whoever took in that boy has knowledge about the family's secret abilities. First Crow, and now, our own." The Pedgagog watched.

The Two-Star Expert pretended to be enraged by his long answer. He had also guessed what his Pedagog junior already thought. His spells would lead him nowhere.

He could only glare at Emeros and secretly ponder who is the power behind the enigma that is Emeros.
