Ascension Of The Nephilim

Of all the Job classes in the entire Lowland, none was more expensive than the path of being a mage, a magi, or spell-casters. The class itself was very hard.

It required people to be doubly smarter than those who pursue the class of being Knights, Lancers, Barbarian, or Archers. Magic was a field that demanded great study and was the wisest of all classes. The demand would attract mages of all sorts and kinds. It wasn't unusual for these mages to also dabble in alchemy, herbology, and other fields.

But there was a special privileged for these mages. And that was the amazing benefit when a mage reaches the higher stages of Captains. There was a chance that they could finally wield the ability to bestow class changes.

At the mid-Captain level, Mages are the primary people who are called to create experience points. Families would hunt monsters and other lifeforms or provide precious magical plants, energy stones, or crystals to increase their level.

And so, mages who do reach the mid-level stages of the grueling and expensive path of mages are rewarded with certain wealth.

The Emberdon family is blessed with five powerful mages of great intellect. And with all of them reaching the middle stages, soon, they all became Champions.

But Faye Emberdon and her brother had the most potential in that while they were still level 27, they had the ability to perform Job Bestowal. The process of stepping from a typical knight to a Captain level required the finality of harnessing all the Blessings and adding a more vital Blessing called the Code.

If a mage can withstand the coursing power of these Codes, they can pass it on.

Soon, the other sisters learned how to perform Job Bestowal right before they became level 30. And with all of them working together, they became the most expensive and sought-after family in the Lowlands to bestow Job Bestowal.

Yet now, they saw the familiar power of Job Bestowal. The Code and Blessing that appeared was powerful and potent. It was more than three times what they could deliver.

This assured that those who received these blessings would step into the Captain level stronger than any of the previous warriors the Emberdon clan blessed.

Even more shocking, the bestowals did not involve one job, but several job bestowals were happening at once!

The specific classes of the Knights and Swordsman appeared.

Avary became an official Swordsman and even gained the Ravager Job specialization.

Gregor became an official Knight. What was interesting was that he somehow inherited a Magic Defender class despite not showing any magic.

Scarlet became an Archer and was a Magic Bow specialist.

Grugnyr gained the Orc Barbarian class.

The nearby knights also gained their respective jobs as Quick Blades, Defender, and two acquired the hybrid job class that combined two different jobs.

A Scout and a Hunter were born among the other knights.

But of all that appeared, none compared to Hunter.

The death of his brothers grew wearily into his heart. They were triplets, and when the two died, he could feel a strange disconnect at first. But now, it was as if the power of his brothers surged in him.

He gained three jobs. Quick Blade, Ravager, and the Blitzer class. And so, he received the Blademaster job class.

The powers of several Captains boomed out.

Mezal was smiling.

"My Steele family will rise!" Mezal laughed.

Myas was watching from the sides and was slightly jealous.

"Relax." Martha shook her head.

"I'm sure that you will be a Captain soon." Martha laughed.

Unlike the rest, Martha, Aron, Diana, and Branze were not focused on that scene but kept immersing themselves in their study.

Only Myas was affected.

"Sooner than you think. Focus on studying. We nobles that have been trained need as much knowledge in this battle. Don't be envious, and solidify what you know. That way, you'll be a better Captain when it's your time to receive the Bestowal." Aron smiled.

Myas saw that Aron was unmoved and decided to trust his assessment.

"Grandfather. I noticed that you planned to use these Champions to make an offensive?" Kyros asked.

"As expected. You saw through my arrangements. Correct. Diana and Branze will stay here with the rest to defend this place. Your two lizard friends will stay. And then, we follow these Champions with the gift of flight and make an offensive attack. Leading it will be Aron, Martha, myself, and you." Mezal explained.

"I will need the Champions to assist me. I will be crafting something. As rewards, I will allow you to read ten pages of that book I showed you." Kyros smiled.

"Ten pages?! Tell us what to do!" Demerus answered.

"May I first know your names. Other than Sir Demerus and Lady Faye, I know not the names of the rest."

"I am Ressi." A red-haired Champion answered. She looked very similar to Faye, and she wielded hot elemental artifacts and a strange broom behind her.

"Call me Triona." The female Champion with light green hair smiled. She was the one who was furthest from the resemblance of her siblings. She had a small round object that she carried around.

"Stellya, Grand Master Kyros." The last Champion smiled as she gave a devilish wink at Kyros. She was second to beauty, only next to Faye, and had a rather petite and delicate body. It was obvious that she is the youngest among her siblings.

"This young one is blessed to know the names of three beauties. I require assistance in crafting this." Kyros then summoned the wings of the Blood Calamity.

The moment it appeared, Mechiel felt strange anger build up inside of her. She was tasked to aid the rest of the slaves fortifying some of the defenses outside and couldn't help but turn her head to observe what Kyros was doing.

"Hm? Why do I feel... so agitated?" Mechiel wondered.

The Blood Calamity inside her was raging in anger as she saw the wings.

Kyros quickly detailed the task of each Champion and told them to harness the elemental energies they specialized on, and instructed them to do it.

"This... The process, the explanation... These are top-tier theories of those who walk the path of Creation!" Faye was amazed.

"It's Enchantments! He is asking us to Enchant an object! And those instructions are extraordinary! But it made so much sense!"

"The library..." Another female champion recalled. Could it be? That the library could teach them Creation?

"That's the best I can ask of you right now. These bones are rather difficult to control. But if you do that, I can fly. So I want you to enchant it for me to wear it and fly in the sky along with you. I have my reasons and confidence in my success despite the very evil power that these wings can give. All I need is for you to perform the process I just explained.

The Champions all looked at each other in disbelief. Was the Library this formidable?

"Oh, you don't believe me?" Kyros laughed.

"We do! We do! It's just... you are so young. Even with such a library, we are amazed that you can put the theories to action!"

"He is beyond your imagination." Reptilia interrupted.

"I believe I have a grasps as to what the 'Lowland region' has in terms of strength. My world has a similar region. So I will tell you this. Before he forcibly turned me into his slave... Lord Kyros was referred to as Grand Master Alchemist in the Lizard kingdom that I served. He crafted three alchemy weapons that weakened us all, including our Commander." Reptilia confirmed.

"Indeed. That was an amazing sight." Gojirrah added.

The Champions were shocked. Reptilia admitted that she was a slave. Why would such a Champion call herself that?

"Grand Master Kyros... You are skilled in Alchemy as well?" Faye asked.

"Not just Alchemy. I am skilled on all four paths of Creation." Kyros smiled.

The Champions looked at each other with a meaningful glance, and all of them had the same thought in mind. They knew that Kyros was doing this to show the extent of his ability.

"Lord Kyros..." Faye began.

"We five declare to swear our undying fealty to the Steele family." Demerus declared.

The Emberdon Champions finally made their decision.
