“With which arm?” He asked him. “I thought you only had one.” He dropped another low bomb.

“Adam and I have an idea for dealing with Kreel somewhat temporarily. It requires Adam’s ENS armor function. The ENS would send a blanket low resonating wave of Primordial Energy. This wave essentials will be a EMP to all other Universal Energies such as Xalnergy and Ignotium Energy. This would in turn weaken Kreel for a short and crucial time. Akem and I plan to bombard Kreel with Ash Bombs. Bombs that are based in Ignotium Energy and functionally expel energy from matter turning it to ash.”
Xano pauses,
“If this works everyone else should be able to deal the finishing blow. However I calculate that suitability is very slim. Shadowbreaker is still there and is nearly as powerful of a threat.”
Xano glances at Luxatium and Umbrian,
“Luckily, we have two id one of shadows who can contest with Shadowbreak in the realm of shadows and one of light bearing that sword… I imagine that you will put to use Siansa’s shadow ports for quick transportation. Her portals should allow for any sword bearer to be able to get in range of Kreel once Akem and I are expended of energy.”
Xano takes a deep breath, smiling for the first time in years,
“Last time I smiled a good friend of mine saved my sister, but now… I really feel in my element.”
He looks at his gauntlet, two stones embedded into it,
“I’m thinking I can expand this little thing’s capabilities. Do you have a gemstone I can borrow, it needs to be as pure as possible.”
Adam walks over and simplifies it,
“Basically I will slow and weaken Kreel, They’ll send in oppressive fire that will likely damage her, and you the rest will use those swords and do something with them. I imagine they would do something.”

Mark nodded affirmatively.
“Will do…” he said, then flying off.
Light grows brighter immediately around Luxatium, who then rockets up toward Shadowbreaker. It’s a good thing he changed his name. He thinks to the blade.

Xano looks over to Adam,
“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to them?”
Adam looks Xano dead in the eye,
“They are safe with the angels.”
Xano sighs,
“Don’t lie to yourself. Kire and Lana are the last family you have and they’ll want something to remember you by.”
Adam turns with his head facing the ground,
“Give Kire my Plaeg Cannon, and give Lana my old armor. We both know that my ENS has a limited range. This is the only way to buy enough time that we both could think of. I’ll be caught in the Ash Bomb within micro seconds. There is no possibility for my survival.”
Xana walks forwards resting his hand on Adam’s shoulder,
“Then promise me to make it count.”
Adam nods,
“Then you’ll promise me to make sure they’ll grow strong. Make sure Gure and Novae live, they’ll need someone to pass on the Celestial History.”
Umbrian follows behind Luxatium, staying close behind him.

As if listening to Adam, Ferrum Spatium generated a small collection of refined Ignotium gems, created by incredibly tight-woven strands of Ignotium energy.
Ferrum Spatium, in an interpretive way, “told” Luxatium that it would not fulfill Shadowbreaker’s old namesake. It also told Luxatium to stay confident and believe in himself as he prepared to face Shadowbreaker with Umbrian.

Mark and the others prepared themselves to charge at Kreel.
But then, something suddenly happened.
@L.O.S.S-KAL
The scratching sound (which had been following the group) suddenly increased in both intensity and volume, what were once tiny scrapes and scratches grew into maddened insane clawing at some unknown barrier, invisible hands of countless numbers beat against the barricades of something that could not be seen, no should not be seen. And then…
The walls begin to tear
The castle and the horizon seem to tear away like rotting wallpaper on a decaying husk of a wall, everyone present was hit with the most nauseating sensation as if their very bodies had been skinned and torn apart and then meticulously put back together. Around them…there was no castle, no war-torn landscape just the endless grey dunes of a windless desert that had no heat, nor no cold, there was no sound and seemingly no end either. These were the deadlands, the physical domain of which the shard of the collect ruled. A hellscape of nothingness. A paradise of oblivion. A sea of dust.

The armies looked around in confusion. The battlefield was gone. At one moment, they were on the Battlefield, and now, just like that, everyone was in some place new.
Seraph Michael recognized where they were.
#“This place, why have we been brought here?”
He asked out loud.

Nearby, Dr. X would notice Mule, one of Steel Branch’s members. Something about him seemed…off.
Kreel, however, did not seem to either notice nor care where everyone was. All that she was focused on, was killing. Everything.
With a roar, Kreel sent Tentacles burrowing underground. A few feet near where all the heroes stood, the tentacles burst out of the ground and dove towards them.

Mule collapsed to the ground, coughing and spluttering, whatever happened it seemed to have rattled him bad, he wrenched off his mask revealing a face beaten by cold winds and blunt razor blades, a stream of bile was quickly released from his mouth as his stomach purged itself. Followed by blood.

Mark stood back, disturbed yet also intrigued at the same time.
“Are you…okay?” Richard asked Mule, not knowing how else to approach the situation.
Luxatium reaches Shadowbreaker and slashes with
Ferrum Spatium . A burst of light flies forward even as Ignotium energy pulls Shadowbreaker toward it. “We meet once more.” Luxatium says. Burning light surrounds his form.

Sweat clung to the mans pallid face as he vomited out blood, before stopping and violently hacking in a plague-like fit of coughs culminating in something roughly twice the size of a fist being ejected from his throat, it was soft, wet and comprised of tissue. A heart.
