Chapter 23: Wrath Of A Nephalem

Galahad had evolved, his energies, his conflicting existence everything had stabilized and joined together attaining a new form, resulting in a race change. He had become a perfect hybrid between Holy and Demonic, Good and Evil two opposites, things that were not supposed to be in the same body. He had become Nephalem, existences who hold so much potential and power that even one can tip the balance of all creation.

The problem is Nephalem go through a phase where the two energies still deny each other in the form of opposing personalities causing those who can not resist to fall into madness and becoming raging monsters that would simply destroy everything. Currently, Galahad was going through that phase and as a result he was rampaging for the duration of his struggle with choosing one thing over the other. In other words, he was completing his evolution.

He grabbed Velgrynd by her hair and lifted her up bringing him face to face with himself, Velgrynd's face twisted in anger staring at his cold emotionless face, "YOU!" she shouted in rage, her hands turned scaly and she hit his arm hoping to tear it in two but it was useless having no effect. His face morphed into a grin as he pulled back his hand and threw her straight forward making her collide into the city's wall smashing it into pieces as she went straight through it from the force with which she had been thrown and crashed into the surrounding land destroying everything around her from the impact. She forced herself up, how dare this bug?! Even if it was not her main body nor her full power, to be able to match her? To be able to push her?! He would pay!

Her aura flared destroying everything around here even more as her hair floated to the sides from the rage, true to her name Scorch Dragon Velgrynd was very short-tempered. Except Galahad wasn't done yet, her gaze fell on his figure as he stood on the wall observing her down below. He raised one of his hands up as a sinister book started forming in his hands, that book was made from the new skill he had obtained, An eye opened in it's center and began frantically observing everything. "Confirmed..... sub-skill: Divine Empowerment." a mechanical female voice was heard from it as Galahad's aura if it wasn't huge enough already, increased several folds shattering the wall leaving him to float in the air.

Velgrynd shouted, "What are you?! What is going on?!" in a mix of anger and confusion, anger at being pushed back by what she considered a fly and confusion at what exactly merited this much anger from whatever 'he' was, after all she still believed she had done nothing wrong. Galahad looked at the sky as a dirty golden halo started forming 'behind' his head and wings made from golden light started extending or rather appearing at his back and those were huge. He raised his hand as the sky got covered in flames before they started condensing and he brought it down. A literal rain of fire followed which scorched the ground but seeing them she smirked, she was the Scorch Dragon! Her form grew bigger and bigger until she grew into a gigantic red dragon.

Her sharp rows of teeth showing from the grin that formed on her face, she opened it wide and let out what could only be described as a sea of flames further enhanced through her Ultimate Skill Charity King Raguel that devoured the rain, not even one bit of it touching the ground. Her each movement shattered the ground beneath her but even then this Galahad was fighting on instinct not using his brain, if it was the actual rational one with the skills he now possessed 'she' was the one who lost 99 out of a 100 times to him. This berserk one still did have his combat prowess though he released an inhumane howl and broke the sound barrier with one movement kicking her in the face sending the gigantic dragon flying to the side where it crashed again bringing about destruction.

Standing where she previously stood he once more roared (A/N: Similar to berserker Lancelot, don't take any weird meanings) and charged at her, splitting apart the ground behind him and grabbed her tail before he started spinning her around, leaving no room for a counter. He slammed her into the ground causing her to cough out blood before she was once more thrown in to the sky. He put his hands in a certain formation as a beam of disintegration magic hit Velgrynd in her back she grinned seeing that it would have no effect since she possessed an Ultimate Skill.

Much to her surprise it left a burning line through her back causing her to scream out from the pain, what left her mouth was an ear piercing roar. Yes magic can't affect someone with an Ultimate Skill as per the World's Laws but what if that magic came about as a result of an Ultimate Skill no something beyond that, a Nephalem's skills couldn't be put in that classification. She fell to the ground with a large gash across her back and opened her eyes trying to fight the pain only to come eye to eye with a grinning Galahad. He pulled his fist back aiming to go straight through her eye and she closed it bracing herself for the pain but the punch never came. "Sigh..... You're so hopeless, Sister." a voice that would give anyone chills said in a relaxed manner.

When Velgrynd opened her eyes she saw Velzard the White Ice Dragon, her older sister holding Galahad's arm blocking him, saving her. That frustrated her, this wasn't the Velgrynd from the later events who even though arrogant all the same had become someone who wouldn't underestimate anyone and would be able to think up various strategies for victory, this was a much younger Velgrynd. She was enraged by the fact that someone had to save her and that she had actually felt fear. Velzard's head slowly turned towards Galahad and her looked became dangerous, "Now then, who do you think you are attacking my sister?" and punched him in the face sending the berserker flying back with a boom, he crashed into some rocks shattering them to pieces even getting injured in the process.

"Bastard." she muttered, she was always overprotective of her siblings and unlike the younger sister she always remained as one, neither dividing her power nor giving it away. In other words, the one standing was the True Dragon Velzard in her all her power. She looked at Galahad who had already gotten up and smiled, "Interesting....looks like I can make you pay some more." she said contemplating what she would do but Galahad launched at her, she raised her hands to block him but he grabbed them and head butted her, the impact sending shock waves causing her to rub her head from the pain, "Hey!" she shouted stumbling a bit before slapping him once more crashing him into the ground, he outclassed her in terms of strength and skill but skill goes down the drain in a state of rage and with her skill she could definitely beat him back....probably. (A/N: Hint: She can't)

With Guy,

Guy had arrived here alongside Velzard to investigate the strange aura. He looked at Galahad being slapped away and laughed out loud, "Hahahahaha!" it was sort of hilarious to see a man get smacked away by what was by all means a teenage girl, but then he recognized who it was, "Wait is that." He facepalmed and sighed, "Yup it is him." he recognized Galahad after all for Guy Galahad was an interesting person so of course he would remember him. "He's supposed to be around here right?" he heard a familiar voice from besides him. Turning around he came face to face with Ramiris, "Yo what are you doing here runt?" he asked her in a familiar manner.

She stopped mid flight and pointed her finger at him, "Oh it's you! Have you seen Galahad?" she asked hurriedly, they had to get him out of here at least or provide him back up this aura was too overpowering and completely foreign to her and she was worried about her friend. Guy stared at her and pointed at the scene where Velzard and a man with long white hair were throwing each other around destroying the area around them, "Ah forget seen him, don't you see that?" he asked her curiously.

She observed the fight which was destroying everything around it closely, "Don't tell me that's him?" she asked her buzzing around. He tried to grab her, "Stop that it's annoying but yes, I still recognize the bastard." he answered. "Wait that's him?!" she shouted at him, that was completely different and it's aura was different too! She closely observed him before her eyes opened wide, "How does something like that exist?!" she shouted out of shock. Guy rubbed his chin in thought, "Yeah It's Angelic and Demonic...yet neither of the two." he said with a light smile on his face.

While the battle raged on slowly turning everything around it to ice, as the landscape was ravaged by elements. A certain king threw his crown to the ground, "I am so done with this shit!" he shouted to the sky and sat down on a piece of rubble just hoping the battle stayed away from the city, like it had been for most of the time. Guy curiously looked at the two maids that were bowing to him, "Please help him." Vert asked in a pleading voice as Bleu nodded furiously, both of them could see that wasn't their master if it was then he wasn't in a normal state and was rampaging and they couldn't do anything to help him. His brows raised in surprise, "Never thought I'd see this day come." after all Primordials swallowing their pride was something that never happened like never.

Ramiris banged her fist on her chest, "Of course I'll help him, he helped me too!" she was going to help him because he was a friend, the first friend she had ever made in her life and for that he was very special to her. Guy pointed at Galahad, "But he's rampaging you know." he asked in a joking manner, but seeing them not change their posture he sighed and scratched the top of his head, "Alright Alright! I'll see if I can do something." he was going to have to anyway, 'that' was also a threat to humanity. "Umu! Umu! That's Galahad! That's what we're going to do! Help him!" a cheerful voice said from beside them causing Ramiris to quickly fly back. Guy stared at Milim, "Since when have you been standing there?" he asked her chuckling.

"That doesn't matter!" she said cautiously observing the ongoing battle, Galahad was now surrounded by a Golden Cocoon which slowly peeled away revealing a monstrous form, his Nephalem Visage, or in other words the Transcendent Form. She tilted her head to the side in confusion, "But how?" Guy smirked, "Well He's rampaging similar to you, so we've got wo choices killing him is off the board so..." he grinned, "We seal him!" this was going to be a good fight.
