Chereads / STRIFE: A Life and Death Tale / Chapter 151 - 151.) A Beginning to a Change in Luminarian History!!!

Chapter 151 - 151.) A Beginning to a Change in Luminarian History!!!

Maliik Murdicc… a powerful Luminarian who boasts the most potent Light anyone has ever seen within this clan. He was the first born son of Queen Nagita and King Lancelot Murdicc. They were leads to a noble family who climbed the ranks and became what we now know as the esteemed House of Murdicc. One of three lead families that work together to run the clan. Maliik is actually the oldest of five brothers and is leaned on as the rock that could lead them in any situation existence may throw at them within their lives. 

Maliik prospered within the many years of his youth as someone who was born to lead. Always taking the charge in any given situation. Infatuating everyone with his charisma and knowledge, and gaining their respect with his stern methods of guidance. He was a God of righteous proportions who also knew what it meant to dabble within the malicious acts of deities. Some can easily say it was a leading method for the young God. One he still uses today, even in times of peril and suffering. 

Despite any and all trials the God might've gone through within their long life. Maliik is still someone who stands for one thing above all else. The peace and prosperity of his home and family. Something that is being inevitably threatened by the very corruption that has plagued his home for many millennia. He takes to the front lines to fight for what he believes in, against family and foes alike. Maliik charges in with his fists setting ablaze a new path for his clan and home. His comrades ride beside him into battle as they take their full frontal assault, and storm the home of their oppressor, Billiam Beel. They're met with the offensive force of Billiam's forces. Maliik and Billiam take the lead, attempting to kill the other with an astounding amount of essence behind their fists. A clash of fists that will forever be the donning of a major change within Luminaria!

Maliik: "Leave this little prick to me. The rest of you should shimmey about and do as Shiishii and the others have instructed!" 

Rebellion: "RIGHT!" 

Maliik and Baby Beel ascend high into the upper atmosphere. Smashing right through the multi-layered barrier as if it were paper thin glass. Their Zenchi clashed and thrashed about as they locked eyes. Neither giving an inch, nor blinking as they prepare to launch a frontal assault upon the other. Combining their Mental and Physical Zenchi then wrapping that around their massive waves of Presence Zenchi

"There has nevah been a bettah time to pluck a meddlesome God out of existence. Your putrid efforts as of late have left quite the sour taste on my buds and I refuse to sit here and let that trouble be. You will die today, Maliik." Billiam states as he raises his right arm. 

He aims the palm of his right hand at Maliik. Maliik, who sat there simply holding up a '1' with his left index finger. Smirking at Beel as his Murdicc edition, Royal trenchcoat danced in the wind. Beel gritted his teeth in response to the gesture. 

Maliik: "This one represents the 'I'. As in the "I will be the final God standing". So why don't you cut the bullshit and do what you came here to do, yeah? Cause I know for damn certain I'll be doing just that, peon. Presence Zenchi!"

Billiam: "Tsssk!! Presence Zenchi!!!" 

Their two waves of Zenchi clash head on. Splitting ad spewing outward as they struggle for dominance. The many combatants fighting below could feel the pressure as it came crashing down on top of them. Those of a more powerful stance stood and smiled as the two leading chargers took the stand against one another without hesitation. The lesser warriors were either protected or throttled into the floor like the dozens of Nymphyknights that now lay unconscious. Their bodies being battered and dismembered by the constant impact of powerful weapons and fists clashing. This moment of disarray allowed a few of the heavy hitters to split off and go for more suitable targets. The obvious goal here for everyone was quite simple. Knock the big guys off the chart to give their side a better chance at victory. 

Diane: "Ny'Eiir… Tomford, collect the Rays and let's get rid of some Rebel Captains!" 

Her two younger brothers whistle simultaneously, but nothing could be heard. At least… not by anyone but a fellow member of the Rays, whether they sit on upper or lower levels. 

At least eight member came swooping in with their Power Scale Ratings all being within the 50s. Diane smirked as she stared at the main forces of the rebel army taking their stand. She and her group began their strut towards their opposition. Their essence started to skyrocket as their pace began to steadily increase. 

"Why don't we all stop there, yeah?" 

Diane and her brothers forced a hard stop in their forward charge. Staring up into the skies directly above them. Watching as Dawn floated down to their person, her Royal trenchcoat flowing in the breeze created by her essence 

Dawn: "We of the Lumendäzz will be the ones to put you idiots down once and for all." 

Diane: "Hmph, I'd like to see you try!" 

"Then allow us to show you the strategic might of Shiishii, Gaia, Maliik and myself!" King Luu states as he walks up from behind the forces of the Rays

He, along with Meas'll, Mavi, and Theo. Diane noticed they positioned themselves perfectly to match up with her eight lower Rays. Ny'Eiir was quick to notice that Shak, Voldeus, and Dawn stood before him and his siblings. He taps Diane on the shoulder to gain her attention. It would seem the Rebellion has planned their assault well. 

Ny'Eiir: "I guess we're about to continue what we all started a few days ago, yeah?" 

Tomford: "Mhm-hmm, Kahs! (Let's do it then, Shak!)" 

Shak: "Consider it brought, wankah!" 

Dawn: "Let's give 'em hell, Däzz!!!" 

Lumendäzz: "RIGHT!!!" 

Their group began to build their essence, staring the Rays down as explosions of all manner occurred around their combined group. Dian stared into the eyes of Dawn, then turned to face King Luu. Smirking at them both just before raising her left arm high into the sky. The Rays began to let their essence skyrocket in response to the bloodlust that now surrounds them. 

Diane: "To believe I get the honor of fighting a complete group within our clan, mates. A group of beings who have all awakened to their Driven statuses! That's something not even all meh Rays have done yet. I like it… love it even! Let's have some fun! RAYS…" 

Rays of Light: "Yes CAPTAIN!!!" 

Diane: "Tear them limb from limb!" 

Rays of Light: "ROGER!!!" *FLASHx10*

Dawn: "DIAAAAANNNE!!!" 

Diane: "Hahahaaa, bring it, my love!" 

She summons a large storm of stars and rains down on the Lumendäzz and their allies. 

Stars become speeding comets as they smash into the grounds of the battlefield. Ripping the very realm of the House of Beel to ribbons as the combatants on both sides try to take advantage of the situation. Many of the lesser members for some of the main battalions from the Houses that make up the Rebel forces were being stunned and injured by her onslaught. Forcing them to break off from one another before they could approach their assignments. Many of the Captains acted as guardians to stop their forces from using any excess essence to deal with this. Smashing stars before they could crash down on their people from above. 

Berixan: "Tch... how troublesome." 

Aurorin: "Indeed." 

Susanne: "Ugh… my mother is still unbearable as ever. But… it's alright." 

Drake: "Oh yeah, how!? She's breaking down our forces!" 

Kenny: "Mhm…" 

Susanne: "I've come to assist in her liberation. Just watch how she moves from here on out." 

Gaia: "Tch, alright Susanne, but still… how cheeky of her. She's effectively splitting our main forces apart!" 

Shiishii: "All good, you and Seriphaeth fuel my three Scythes from the guild. I'll protect our structure." 

Gaia: "Roger that! Ready Seriphaeth?" 

Seriphaeth: "Yes, indeed. Not everyday one gets to see a common Scythe study Shiishii so masterfully turned into a Weapon/Storage class study. Legendary now be its state as far as ratings go." 

Tyyoest: "Ah, so this is the fabled Guild of Scythes? I can't wait to see what it can do." 

Dante: "Mhm, I'll back you up, Diane won't break us down a second time! Archive!

Shiishii: "Heh! Guilda!" 

(Guilda: "Speak your request, Master Shii.") 

Shiishii: "Bring out the Scythes of Severance, Elements, and Absorption.

(Guilda: "Done and done!") 

Shiishii brought out three large Scythes. One had a thin edge with a smaller blade. It's handle had a basic aesthetic and design. Six feet, six inches and all black with the shape of a lowercase tee as it's mold. It's unique feature… an invisible blade identical to the original that sat on the back of the Scythe's handle where the original blade can be found. The Absorber's scythe was simple as well, being split in the middle, revealing a handle wrapped in grip tape. The blade was sharp and large with a hole in the middle of the blade that replicated the shape of the blade itself. A chain could be found at the bottom of the Scythe's handle. Now the elemental scythe was of a unique design. It has all the base elements making up the shaft and handle of the scythe. It was seven feet in length with three blades sticking out the front of the shaft while two smaller ones sat on the back. Every blade was emitting a heavy amount of elemental essence as if each blade had its own elemental source rather than essence itself. 

Tyyoest: "Well now…" 

Ty'Jonn: "It's scary to think what's going to happen when this guy focuses on himself and his growth rather than helping others." 

Gaia: "Hmph! *smirk* (Indeed, Ty'Jonn… indeed.)" 

Shiishii: "Let's do this, Dante!!!" 

Dante: "Righio then, mate! Archive: Archaic Meteor Shower!!!" 

Shiishii launched his three Scythes into the skies, their essence and abilities being boosted by Gaia and Seriphaeth's essence. He yanked on the chain of the Absorber's Scythe and snatched more than six of Diane's meddlesome stars. He claps his hands together in prayer style allowing his absorbed essence to be shared to his Slasher's and Elemental scythe. Their potency jumped a new league, allowing Shiishii to share the raining essence with Dante's blackened meteors. They smashed into dozens of states while Shiishii's slasher scythe made mincemeat of another few dozen more. 

"Now this is where it gets really interesting!* Gaia states as she folds her arms. Smiling as her Forest green fur lined trench coat flowed in the wind. Seriphaeth turned away from Gaia and looked up to see Shiishii in the skies. He was surfing on a tidal wave created by his elemental scythe, using his Absorber's Scythe as the surfboard. The tidal wave stayed airborne thanks to his essence canceling the laws of gravity through the Way of Zenchi

Shiishii: "You'll have to do better than this, Lady Diane!" 

He takes his Absorber's Scythe and takes in the tidal wave he created using the water to perform a dual elemental slash of unmatched proportions. 

His attack laced itself around the remaining stars that Diane had shot out. The slashes formed and split into more than ten separate attacks with differing elemental properties. The water elemental slash became a thin stream that cut clean through the stars with the help of Zenchi. The stars were then bombarded by the elemental attacks shot out by the Elemental Scythe. Shiishii smirked as he floated down and placed himself above the two mixing armies. 

Shiishii: "Now then… Stream Slash and… MAGMA LINE!!!" 

He sends out two more slashes that meet and cancel each other out just before hitting the groups. Their opposing nature caused a gigantic cloud of steam and mist to form. Enveloping the entirety of both armies on the battlefront. 

Morris: "Tch… seems Death is overstepping his boundaries here." 

Billiard Sr.: "Take advantage of this moment and strike them down as you approach your assignments Rebels!!!" 

Rebellion: "YES SIRR!!!" 

The rebels regain their footing and take the fight to the Beels and their forces. Taking down the Nymphyknights as they charge towards members of the army that match the description of the Luums, Corrupted House lead or a TRUTH member of any level besides Billiam's main Commanders. Thrashing through as they smash and tear apart any Nymphyknights or corrupted grunts that get in their way. 

Diane: "Hmph… Shiishii truly is troublesome. Maybe I should- *SMASH* 

(WHAT!?)" 

Dawn: "Not this time Diane. I'm your opponent!" 

Diane: "So be it, you twit!" *Swish* 

They begin to clash in what looked to be an endless series of physical strike exchanges. Tearing the very space around them asunder as their intensity rose like a rocket leaving orbit. 

Nagita: "Hmph… I leave her to you, Dawn. I have… a different opponent in mind for today." *Glare* 

She looks up at the now reconstructed House of Beel. Staring through the gigantic  open window. Looking into the eyes of Elizabeth herself. Both Goddesses assess the other as their essence slowly builds up. 

Maeli: "Looks like everyone is getting their rousing starts underway, ladies and gents." 

Sammy: "Seems so." 

Morpheus: "Then I say we do the same- *Pat* Huh, big bro!?" 

Shiishii: "Those of you who are apart of a fusion with a Stuliathan Possessed, don't you dare waste your essence. I have some opponents you'll all be taking care of. They have heavier hitters than us, more than making up for us slightly outnumbering them in heavy hitters all-around. So allow me, Gaia and a few others to do our thing here." 

Susanne: "Alright, Alright but…" 

Fong: "Who do you have in mind for all of us?" 

Shiishii: "Heh." *Grin*

Shiishii let the kids in on his plans for them. Informing them of who they'll take on in their fused states. Once informed, they took off in the directions of their opponents. The remaining members who won't be fusing stayed behind with Shiishii and the others in order to mow down the enemy forces. After all… they outnumbered the rebellion ten to one thanks to the countless Nymphian warriors. 

Shiishii: "Get ready and follow my lead. Gaia and the others will join in once I get us started. *Shinnng* Kosa Duší(Scythe of Souls)!

Gaia: "Show me what you got. I wish to see some results of this odd training you've been doing for these last three months." 

Dante: "Hmm…"

Shiishii: "Gladly!" *PEW* 

Shiishii took off in high speeds and threw his scythe, spinning and ripping as it passed the many enemies before him. He traced the Death essence on the scythe and flashed to its location. Felling more than fifteen opponents in a single go. Three jump at him from his rear as four more were coming running at his front. He smiled and twirled his scythe in a playful manner before taking a step as he pivots to his right. His scythe is swung outward and through the three little Nymphian that leapt at him. They fell to floor with Shiishii standing over them as he continued to twirl his scythe. He spun it behind his back as he lowered his center of gravity. Bending down as he continues to pivot and rotate his body. Slashing at the Nymphians to his forefront, keeping them at bay as he prepares a cunning series of attacks. 

"Time to go a little berserk!" Shiishii proudly states while kicking out his leg.

He places his scythe on his nape and traps just as he smashed his left heel into the face of a unsuspecting Nymphian. The other three were thrown off by the odd strike, only to be knocked unconscious by two nasty kicks to their temples on BOTH sides of their heads. A fifth leaps in a head of the group charging towards Shii. Shii smiles at the poor sap and smashes his head to pieces with the back of his Soul Scythe. The ghouls and souls that can be found on the shaft howled and wailed with laughter. Shiishii pivots his left foot and spun his body around. Swinging the scythe about as he brings it above his head and down upon a charging Nymphian. His body split in two, his guts and intestines flowing out as his two halves hit the floor at the same time as Shiishii released his soul wave. Souls of the damned carrying Death essence on them detonate their astral structures simultaneously as they travel through the ground. Taking out dozens of Nymphyknights with spiritual and physical damage. 

Shiishii: "Now it's curtains for you fools! Fuse; Soul and Elemental Scythes!!!" 

He fuses his two Scythes to form one that had elemental souls placed all over the shafter and handle. The bottom of the shaft had a long chain attached to it while there were three blades on the top. One ridiculously large blade that had souls and elements spewing out of the edge of the blade. The two located on the back were small and paper thin, making it easy to cleave away souls. 

He spun around twice with his weapon in tow. He brought about a wave of essence that was transformed into the purest of wind. It carried a soul wavelength that linked the wind and it's influence to the souls and bodies of all that feels it's breeze. They get blown back just before Shiishii leapt into the air while twirling and forming a tornado. More than one hundred Nymphians were pulled in all at once. Forced to watch as Shiishii twirled in the air and sent a slash of unstable lightning smashing into there groups. Incenerating more than half while the others had their souls burned to a crisp as their bodies were blown into the breeze. His scythe lands on the ground as it gets planted within. Shiishii landed on the end of it, squating as he looks at his work. 

Gaia: "Well then… his efficiency is beyond belief. He didn't even use a large amount of essence for all of that." 

Seriphaeth: "Yeah… it's honestly a bit scary. Considering his power hasn't stopped growing since he got to the clan. Yours isn't growing so what he hell is going on?" 

Tyyoest: "Is this the odd training your mentioned?" 

Gaia: "Indeed- Hm?!" 

Seriphaeth: "Tch!" 

They all look onward to see a blade knock Shiishii's scythe out of the ground, forcing Shiishii to leap into the air. He pulls the scythe in with his chain and lands with it at the ready, staring at the man that threw the sword as he got into his stance as well. 

Shiishii; (A swordsman in a Royal Bleu uniform-type, eh? He must be…) "Hm?" *PEW* 

*TIINNNNG*

Morris: "I can't allow you to run rampant like that anymore, Shiishii!" 

Shiishii: "Oh, you're not allowing me, mate? What a load of bullshit!" 

Morris and Shiishii hold each other at a standstill as Gaia and the others continue where Shiishii left off in his efforts to smash apart the enemy. As they continue their fights, the Luums make a move alongside the leaders of the Corrupted houses and their battalions. They head towards the many Rebel captains that could be seen taking down much of their army. 

"Hun, it seems that bastahd Meachie has decided to poke his nose where it doesn't belong, yeah?" Berixan says as he places his hand on Aurorin's shoulder. 

She turns her attention towards Meachie as she plucks the heart out of a light clan grunt who was actually a supporter of Beel. Their body went limp and was thrown at Meachie like a baseball. He put up his guard just in the knock of time. He intercepted the body and blew it to smithereens. Meachie then looks up to find none other than Neezah the Annihilator from Annohilo Sect coming down on him and his allies from above. Her fist was full of Annihilation essence and ready to strike. 

Meachie: "Shit… everyone, SCATTAH!!!" 

The Luums and their corrupted allies scatter like flies avoiding an approaching human. Neezah smashes her fist into the floor and lets off a massive explosion for the sole purpose of forcing them to split apart. 

"Alright, time to get to it my fellow Borealis!" Neezah says as she blocks an attack from the Sapphire Luum. She chuckles as she notices yet another change to the lower six Luums. She and Sapphire go into a frenzy of exchanges before the others could join in to assist. 

Ellie: "This is just outrageous. A complete bloodbath of unparalleled proportions!" 

Luke: "Yeah, so you had better be ready to kill, cause we can't lose a single one of us here!" 

Ellie: "Tsssk, r-right!" 

The kids leapt into action in a team effort to mow down their enemies. Luke and Ellie use their teamwork within their ninja forms to slash through multiple enemies at once. Though… Luke had to put in extra effort thanks to Ellie's inability to kill others. Amera and Ju'Mosi spring into action to deliver a nasty combination of gravity impact that tears the Nymphyknights apart. But… due to their heightened dexterity and durability, they're able to withstand the impact in small numbers. Following up with counters that get snuffed out by the battalions of the Houses within the rebellion. Amera leaps down and kicked a disoriented Light clansmen in their head with five added hits from the Mayhem realm. The God was forced unconscious and left to be trampled on by the fighting and chaos around them. 

???: "Tch, these brats are a nuisance!" 

Ro'Kanthir: "Calm down, Lord Jahgill. We'll be able to knock these brats down a peg." 

Jahgill: "Mhm… if you say so, Ro'Kan." 

Ro'Kanthir: "Hmph. *Smirk* (Just you wait, Nephew. I can't wait to see the look on that foolish face of yours.)" 

Dante: "Tch… Ro'Kanthir is already making a move, eh? *SWISH* Huh!?" *Woosh* 

He leaps above a slash aimed at his mid section. 

Daimond: "We'll be running it back, yeah? You frivolous bastahd." 

Dante: "Ah, it's you. I did my research on you, my good sir. You're Diamond-Monroe Lanthermines, aren't you?" 

Diamond: "Indeed I am, quite the investigator, aren't we?" 

Dante: "Guess you could say that, but I hope you've improved as much as I have in these last three days. Or this won't even be a match, which would be a shame, considering your history with my Great Grandfather, "Big" Benson "The Diamond" Azrufal. I used part of his history within the Archive to improve my use of the Daimond minerals within my Birthright." 

Diamond: "So, you really are that Delio-Dant after all? Good." *PEW*

Dante: "Hmph." *Fwish* 

Their fists clash with Diamond wrapped around them. The noise from their collision pierced the ears of everyone around them. 

"Guaaaargh!!" Sammy and Ellie took a beating to their eardrums. This threw them off their game, allowing the Nymphian warriors to push them back. Knocking them both to the floor. Their bodies were left wide open which allowed the perfect vital spots to be attacked. 

Ty'Jonn: "I don't think so!" 

He wraps acidic vapor around his foot and smashes it into the group. Blowing them all away as their skin melts away until bone was left where his foot touched. 

Ty'Jonn: "Rise to your feet, my daughtah." 

He stretches out his arm to assist his little princess. Sammy rose on his own. 

Ellie: "Thank you da- *Smack* Gah! D-Dah!?" 

Sammy: "Woah… u-uncle Ty'Jonn!?" 

Ty'Jonn: "You mustn't be weak on this battlefield. You cannot fear killing those that wish death upon your person. Imagine you hesitate and your friends die as a consequence." 

Ellie: "I-I… I'm sorry, dah!" 

Ty'Jonn: "Don't be. Let's just make sure we prevail today!" 

Ellie: "Yessir!!" 

Tyyoest: "Hm! *Nod* Now then… what is this odd- no, ominous essence that I can sense within the House of Beel?" 

Gaia: "You feel It too, eh?" 

Seriphaeth: "Let's see what we got going here." 

Noel: "Heh… seems they can sense your Dim-Ones Ellicia, dear." 

Ellicia: "Hmph, we'll make our move soon enough." 

Noel: "Indeed." 

The battles intensify as everyone slowly moves to their assignments. Maliik and Billiam fight above everyone, clashing and thrashing through the cosmos as they punch one another in the jaw. They float away from the other, frozen stiff as their essence rebuilds. Maliik wraps his arm in Reality warping essence. Ripping a hole in reality and slipping within. Billiam follows his movements using a mixture of Mental and Presence Zenchi. Maliik came twirling out of thin air, wrapping his right fist with Light essence as he threw a heavy backhand. Billiam wrapped his hand in White essence and clashed his right hand into Maliik's with a backhand. The force caused the very cosmos around them to melt away as a white screen extended endlessly. Affecting everything within range besides the House of Beel and its dome. 

Billiam: "You won't be getting beyond me, Maliik!" 

Maliik: "Hmph… let's see you stop me, brat!" *PZZZZZ*

He pressed his hand against Billiam's own and increased the pressure of his strike and the potency of his essence. His Zenchi easily recognized the concept of White and nullified the essence in an instant. 

Billiam: "WHAT!?" 

Maliik knocked Billiam's fist down, cocking his fist back as he leaned in towards Billiam. Punching him in the cheek and sending him flying towards the House. Their clash was canceled and reality was restored. Maliik charges forward for a follow up attack, rearranging reality as he dashes towards Billiam. 

Maliik: "You're a plague to this clan and its ways, Billiam! A corruption that must be liberated at all costs. And liberated it shall be!!!" *WOOSH* 

Billiam: "Tssk, I won't allow you to get beyond me once more, Maliik! White Wall!

Maliik: "That won't work at all, Billiam. My Zenchi has already conquered this concept. And you're not strong enough to override my Zenchi." *BWOUGH* 

He smashes his fist through the wall that Billiam created. 

Billiam: "Tch… (Elizabeth was right about him!!)" 

He tried to fly back to avoid his strike. 

Maliik: "This… This will be the beginning to a CHAAAAANGE!!! Warping FIIIIST!!!

Billiam: "... Bullocks!!!" *KaBLAAAMMM* 

The mighty fist of Maliik smashes into the face of Billiam. Crushing the doubts of those who thought the Rebellion would be snuffed out. The bright star of change has now made itself known as the Civil War commences!
