Ascension Of The Nephilim

The sight of the dracanae brought amazement to everyone. The moment they saw the dragonic scales and wings, they felt great fear, unlike before.

Even the old woman who had seen powerful vampire cultivators realized just why her former masters were obsessed with dragons. What stood before them emitted the threatening power that made everyone tremble.

Martha knew that they had messed up. The plans and preparations to bury them backfired. Because when she collapsed the entire tunnel through her numerous ability, the dracanae somehow managed to break out of the rubble so fast, but they must have flown through a new opening that led to the current hole where they stood.

There was something different in their eyes.

The four were being carried by ropes and were barely ten meters high. The side of the cave was smooth that it made climbing difficult. Myas and the dracanae ghouls could only scale it through the help of ropes and the slaves above.

Martha took action, kicked the wall, somersaulted to the ground, and immediately let several loose bows.

FWIP! FWIP! FWIP!

The arrows flew towards the dracanae, who didn't even bother evading.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosive arrows struck the faces of the dracanae, but it didn't even make the five dragons move by a bit.

The five continued to look at the group with a distant, uncaring expression. It was as if Martha and all the struggling humans were food that they had no choice but to eat.

"It is such an embarrassment that these insects have harmed us again and again. Look at them! They even managed to take control of our ghouls."

"Our ghouls? Our current forms are much more perfect than those ugly creatures. You can have them if you want."

"We have to devour them. We also have to get the other corpses from that woman. Still, they managed to control the ghouls that took us a long time to control."

"It must be that woman down there. She has a dragon soul. This should level the embarrassing defeats and how she outwitted us." Another of the five laughed as they began to glow with red-hot flame slowly.

The bright red flames gave away their appearance.

Their scales were harder and had a faint color of green. Their frame was even bigger than before.

"Dorothy! Release your soul!" Martha ordered.

Dorothy complied and released the power of his soul.

She immediately drained a few bits of the dracanae ghoul's blood that she had absorbed when they were collecting the bodies.

The knights dropped down and immediately drew their swords.

"Take as much blood as you can." Martha ordered as she brought out four dracanae ghoul corpses and stabbed them on the vulnerable part of the ghoul.

"Come and kill me, halfbreeds!" Martha shouted at the dracanae while the knights also stabbed on the blood.

[Taunt activated.]

But the dracanae only looked at Martha without showing a hint of interest.

"These are very bizarre vampires. From the distant memory of our cells, it feels as though we see something new." One of the dracanae frowned.

"Perhaps eating them will awaken our memory. After that, I'll have her for dessert. While she does have higher quality, I am quite starved." One of the dragons laughed.

"If you want to eat something, then finish what you started!" Martha shouted again.

[Taunt Activated.]

"It's no good, Master. Taunting them won't work. Setting aside their immense confidence and pride, any mind-beguiling abilities will lose effects to these dragons as they have a greater resistance to it. But if you want to draw attention, then tell them what they are! I know what they are. Their memories are like yours in the Separated Realm!" Dorothy explained.

Suddenly, one of the dracanae jumped down.

CRASH!

"I'll deal with the woman. Kill the rest. I'll share her with you equally." The Thane Dragon spoke.

"Wait!" Martha shouted.

"I know what you are from the memories of Orgen Pendragon! I know your honorable form! Spare the humans, and I'll let Dorothy tell you! Your memories are vague. You can only learn of things when it is mentioned! Dorothy knows what his power and might are. It is your choice to live as what you are or know your true potential!" Martha shouted.

"Why go through that? We'll just kill you and ask that soul ourselves." So the dracanae moved but right before he could charge in and kill Marhta...

"I am bound to this woman. You kill her, and my soul disperse. Why do you think I'm so sub-servant to her that I even made up that crazy grandfather story? Do as she says, and I can tell you more about who I am, and therefore, explain who we are. But she will only do this if you let those slaves escape!"

"How pathetic! A dragon soul turned into a slave!" One of the dracanae laughed.

"Hmp. You dare insult me? You are a weaker version of me! Whatever, I was in my prime. You shouldn't be able to reach half of it! But do as she says, and I will tell you. Or rather, she will allow me ato tell you." Dorothy gave his wager.

You truly are a slave. But I, Firstborn Pendragon, will never be lesser than a dragon who calls himself Dorothy. I will dictate the terms, girl. I will give these humans a chance to live. And since you would try to delay anyway, I will wait. I will wait silently."

"You will wait?" Martha found it suspicious.

"I will set a time. I won't be unreasonable. I will give those weaklings a chance to run. And while they do, I will wait. I am sure that if we let them escape first, you won't probably reveal anything out of spite for us. And I'm sure you know that we are hungry. We wills till chase after them. So I will give you the chance to save them. While I wait, you can choose to delay and not say anything to give them more time to run. But if I decide to kill them and chase them, I will leave you, you wingless bat, and kill them."

"A wise choice, brother!" One of the dracanae smiled.

"Ultimately, it will be this bat that will give her friends the chance to live! I guess waiting a bit is good enough to know our lineage and true power. Anyway, you are all about to die." The dracanae laughed.

"Your time starts now. I will wait. Go and give them a head-start. But anytime that I feel like you waited too long, I'll go ahead and kill them, and you won't be able to do anything..." The dracanae smiled.

"Hunter! Go with them. Someone has to." Martha sighed.

The knights nodded.

"Get him up!" Myas shouted.

"Sister..." She called out.

"Get them out of here, Myas." Martha smiled.

"Hurry!" She called out to the slaves, and they were jolted awake.

Hunter grabbed on the rope and was quickly being pulled up. The dracanae ghouls helped, and Hunter was quickly being dragged up.

The dracanaes flew, and all stood around Martha, Hems, and Hemsey.
