Though victorious in the clash, this act would sow the seeds of his own ruin as Yggdragon became [[Yggdrasil]]. | ||
Years later, | Years later, he was confronted by powerful resistance in the form of Erdwin and his companions, and Calasmos was defeated in the [[Gallopolis]] desert. It was at this time that the monster revealed the depths of his cunning, stalling his demise by whispering promises of power and glory to [[Morcant]] and corrupting the wizard to stab Erdwin in the back before the final blow could be delivered. Though Morcant, now [[Mordegon]], would prove to be a thorn in Calasmos' side in the future, the manipulation proved successful and the allowed him to escape the sealing of his body in [[Erdwin's Lantern]]. | ||

Calasmos' Tockle form collapses to his knees in despair and remains motionless after these events, with only a long line of ellipses being displayed when he is spoken to. | ||
Though confronted with a tremendous setback, Calasmos trails the Luminary when he discovers the Tower of Lost Time. Calasmos manages to defy the rule preventing more than one person from being brought back and secretly travels with the Luminary as he rewrites time.

{{spoiler|start}}Appearing as the '''Will of Darkness''', Calasmos is revealed to still persist in spirit form after having his body destroyed by the Luminary. Having possessed and corrupted Hargon, he turns the High Priest into a demon in order for him to satisfy the Dark One's own goal of completely destroying life and light so that the void may reign. Following Hargon's death and Malroth's defeat, the Will of Darkness emerges from the former's body and engulfs the Master of Destruction before sending the [[Scions of Erdrick]] into the void. The fusion between the Dark One and the Master of Destruction creates [[Malwrath]]. Thanks to the efforts of the [[Dragonlord's great-grandson|descendant of Yggdragon]] giving the Scions the power to dispel darkness, as well as those of [[Rubiss]] and [[Ramia]], Malwrath, and by extension Calasmos and Malroth, is destroyed and a new dawn is unleashed upon the world.{{spoiler|end}} | {{spoiler|start}}Appearing as the '''Will of Darkness''', Calasmos is revealed to still persist in spirit form after having his body destroyed by the Luminary.
