Ascension Of The Nephilim

A large lizard with several deep wounds was running with great speed. The lizard carried a young boy.

The kingdom walls of the lizard kingdom, Lizard Kingdom A was in full view.

Disregarding the dumb naming scheme, Kyros was focused on looking at the current status of this kingdom. He could see that the kingdom roughly had over eight thousand residents. Gojirrah kept talking to Kyros about the lizard kingdom's status and what the power structure was.

"So you, a Champion, which is one of the powerhouses in that kingdom, can't get access to the alchemy labs?"

"Those that are sent here are divided into four groups. Those that came here by accident through whatever circumstance, those that were sent to go here, those that were exiled here, and those that fled here because they had no choice. I belong to the exiled group. Of the three, all Champions except for me belong to the sent group. I belong to the exile group.. I rebelled against my kingdom, and while I was granted a position of authority to guard the nearby towns and outpost inside that large cave, in this main kingdom, I am nothing."

"So they used you for your strength. Keeping you in your real-world had no benefits. But here, you will be forced to ally with your kind and serve them as you have no choice."

"Exactly. So I can't go around to rooms of certain important characters since even though I have no allies here, these people aren't exactly my friend."

"What a pitiful circumstance you are in. Are there more of you here? Creating a lizard kingdom with you guys leading will be a win-win for the two of us."

"A lizard kingdom here?"

"Yeah. This place has to be mine. And to do so, creating a kingdom is necessary given how big this place is."

"There are. You can tell the status of those lizards. All lizards that have been are sent here have an identity plaque. Those that are exiled have a brand on their arms or forehead like this." Gojirrah pointed to his forehead, and there was a rather simple black bar on his face.

"Cool. That even makes it easier! Then for my next trick, I have to make a poison that can subdue a champion lizard princess! To do that, you have to spread the news about what you found out about the dragons and this place. And then plead to have me sent to the alchemy and be the servant and tell them that I am quite skilled in that. Tell him that together, the two of us managed to escape due to my knowledge in creating a Paralyzing Gas Bomb."

"You know how to make a Paralyzing Gas Bomb?!"

"Yeah. That should make me useful, and they won't want to kill me."

"But... Those are herbs of great potency! How can you handle those? No one in the current Lizard Kingdom A has the ability to make those!"

"Oh, it's not that hard. But if no one can make those, it makes it even easier for me to move inside! My importance will skyrocket!"

"It will indeed. You'd be more important than me!"

"Yeah. That is why we need to get your rank and access in that kingdom a little higher. If we want to make them attack tomorrow, we only have little time to make the most here. So to get you to have a higher position in the kingdom, we use information about dragons that will work. Tell them of the basic things of what you know and tell them that there is a dragon graveyard nearby and that the human kingdoms already have a dragon's egg. But you have to be clear that as to the location and some secrets about dragon flesh, you will keep to yourself; otherwise, they will toss you away. This will force them to mobilize their soldiers for a big attack. That way, when we steal that princess, they will already have some preparations."

"I understand. How many humans are you expecting to be in that cave?"

"There should only be a hundred or so. But let's not forget that they have golems! Also, these hundred or so men are either Champions or Captains. That's why I need a strong army, but one that isn't too many to attack that place. I don't want the humans that will be there to be overrun. But once they get attacked, they will prioritize defending that place and send more humans to guard it. And that's when we threaten various kingdoms. With the humans fighting and the plans we've set, they will be creating more and more golems and restoring the lost energy of the golems. This way, the golem will recover a lot of energy."

"What a brilliant plan, my Lord!"

"That's nothing! I have more plans. How do you lizards test the purity and power of your bloodline?"

"There are two ways, Lord Kyros. The Scale Test simply pits two lizards of the same power to fight and the Blood Test. The Blood test uses magic that forces the blood drops of two lizards to interact with each other, and both are exposed to some magic that tests their vitality and purity. Both tests are used to gauge the current strength and the future potential of a lizard."

"And what was the result of your blood test?"

"I am considered to be the least in our race. All Champions in this kingdom have potential that is greater than my own."

"Oh yeah. It's all coming together." Kyros smiled as an evil plot began to grow.

"Later, Do everything I am telling you. You can hear my telepathic messages, right?" Kyros asked.

"Yes! It's very amazing! It's even faster than talking! So all the Coven has this?"

"Yes. The truth is, there is an elaborate system that allows you to communicate even at great distances. But right now... It's not working. We can only communicate up to the distance we tested earlier."

The pair had checked how far they could communicate telepathically. Anything more than twenty meters, and the communication is very distorted to the point that the pair cannot understand each other.

"We're approaching. Just listen to everything that I instruct you to do, and do it without hesitation."

"I understand, Lord Kyros."

Kyros then closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

The pair was now directly under the great walls of the lizard kingdom.

"Is that... Champion Lizard?" One of the lizardman archers watched from afar.

"Which Champion Lizard?" The lizardman archer asked.

"The exiled one."

"Oh right! It's him! Rumor was that he got killed by the enemy in that cave!"

"He must have found a way to escape. Why is he carrying a human?"

"By the looks of it, that human seems to be a slave. If Champion Lizard is carrying it and seems to value that human, it must have helped him one way or the other." The archer concluded.

"Archers! I wish to speak with all Champions! Another portal has appeared, and a human army has allied with the golems!" Gojirrah shouted.

Gojirrah invoked his force energy in each word, and his shout echoed throughout the walls, and even some parts of the city heard the Champion's cry.

The shout startled and alarmed many.

"Open the gates." Another voice boomed.

"It's Champion Tail 1! Do as he says! Open the gates!" A lizard captain shouted.
