Ascension Of The Nephilim

The appearance of the suction power was so sudden that it scared the Blood Calamity.

The Blood Calamity felt the Temple suddenly drawing out her soul as it was harnessing its power to draw out the inner powers of the wing.

"Ahhhhh!" The Blood Calamity was a step too slow as the attack began.

She swiftly dove into the soul of Mechiel and began her dark ritual to become one with her. Unfortunately, her soul was already weakened, that she would be unable to survive. But she had to remain near the Nephilim so that she could warn her allies and tell them everything about the Nephilim when they awaken.

The merger was done in so much haste that Mechiel was the primary person controlling the soul. But as their souls combined, the Temple stopped siphoning her soul and focused on extracting every bit of magic that made the Wings in the first place.

"Destiny Artifacts?" Calaminus asked as the process kept occurring. The Temple was quivering as both the chains and axes and the wing began to glow.

Kyros could see what was happening, and his Path of Molding was telling him what to do. The whispers of the Temple resounded loudly in his soul, and Kyros began to move and harness the energy.

"There are Destiny Artifacts! There is something about these items that make them great in the future! The Balefire Butcher Dryklash is a warrior of Destiny, and he was equipped with such a weapon destined for heights! And now, Fate is remolding it!" Kyros laughed.

The Temple reached its peak as bright lights flashed it.

As the Bright Flash disappeared, the Dark Arm Guards and the chain device disappeared. All that remained was the Cloak and the Sword.

Kyros stumbled down, and so did the Champions. They felt a strange surge as if the energy was being siphoned out of them.

"A Champion's Weapon!" the group saw how the sword had grown so strong that it was at the level of power that Champions had.

Kyros was laughing in joy.

"I was right! I was right!" Kyros laughed as the Cloak of Darkness slowly crept towards Kyros and moved like a strange living dark liquid.

Kyros willed it, and the Temple began to heal him slowly.

The Champions also felt the surge of power.

"What's this?!" Faye explained.

"My energy! It's returning!" Demerus shouted.

Kyros stood up as the energy returned to him, and he held the sword. Then, a dark set of wings exploded out.

The wing resembled the wings of dragons. It did not have feathers but had carapace-like flesh. The power of the Cloak suddenly began to combine with Kyros as he wore it.

The Blood Calamity watched in great envy.

"The Cloak of Darkness has finally accepted Kyros as his master. Why him?!" The Blood Calamity secretly cursed.

Failed to purge the soul of the Blood Calamity in Mechiel.

A notification appeared after Kyros confirmed the previous set of notifications.

"Oh? The Temple tried? Then the Blood Calamity must have been weakened. I guess this is the best time to do it."

Kyros then took a stance and gazed at the Champions. He revealed his sword and power. Before the Champions, he didn't give out any sense of being inferior.

[Charmed Fallen activated.]

Just like Skotos Eis Phos, Kyros activated the divinity of the Fallen.

At the far side, Mechiel had a strange expression on her face. She saw Kyros wielding the darkness and taking a challenging stance against the Champions.

"He's... so..." Mechiel blushed as she fell into a daze. The horrified soul of the Blood Calamity also felt the same emotion.

"No... It can't be! Fate trapped me here!" The Bood Calamity realized it.

Kyros could sense a strange weight being lifted, as did the rest who had the Path of Foresight.

"Oh? What happened?" Aron wondered.

"It's the Blood Calamity. I feel that Mechiel is no longer a threat." Martha whispered.

"The Blood Calamity is in her?" Aron was amazed.

"You didn't know? Grandfather, Diana, and Branze noticed it."

"I felt something was off about her. But I didn't feel so threatened!" Aron wondered.

"Thank you, Champions. Please feel free to read this book. It speaks about Elemental Affinity." Kyros handed the book over.

The knowledge in that book was already known to Kyros.

"Everyone, report here in the next ten minutes." Kyros watched the time. He planned to save the last ten minutes before the fight to assimilate all they had and disperse all the rewards.

The Champions caught the book but was gazing at Kyros and his sword and cloak. They could feel a tremendous power that was moving in it.

Kyros took out one book from the library and read it.

The book was titled Basic Force Wielding and opened. But as he did, he was moving towards the direction of Mechiel.

Mechiel was nervous as she saw Kyros.

"Lo-Lord Kyros." She greeted respectfully as Kyros drew near.

"You are Mechiel, correct? You are as beautiful as your father boasted. You were supposed to be bound to me in marriage." Kyros gave a smile as he approached.

"I am ashamed at my father's actions." Mechiel bowed in embarrassment.

"Oh? Don't be. When we get older, I will fulfill my vow. That is, of course, if we live to see tomorrow. Please standstill. I will command the Temple to heal you." Kyros smiled and raised his hands.

With the prompting, the Temple then bestowed a powerful bright light and healed Mechiel.

The arm that was removed and the many wounds she had were being restored.

Mechiel had a very haggard appearance. But now, her young beauty was revealed.

Kyros trembled as he could feel the emotions that he was bottling up spill forth.

"Forgive me. But I owe your father a great debt of gratitude." Kyros began to tear up as he stood in front of Mechiel. His arms wanted to reach out and hug her so bad.

"Lord Kyros!" Scarlet somehow arrived in between them with great speed.

[Scarlet has acquired Shadow Step.]

"Scarlet?!" Kyros was surprised at the speed and the skill that Scarlet learned.

"I am here to report of all our progress. Lady Martha has a dragon! Lady Martha! Quick! Bring it out!"

Martha rolled her eyes and complied.

At the side, Gregory and Avary were shaking their heads in pity. But who they pitied between the two, only they knew.

"Lord Kyros. I greet you." Puff appeared as the portal awakened.

"A dragon! So the egg did hatch!"

"Lord Kyros. Since there is time, allow me to make my report." Martha drew closer.

Myas also approached and escorted Mechiel out.

Kyros smiled, and his eyes still followed Mechiel as he waved goodbye.

"Lady Martha! Report now!' Scarlet urged. Scarlet moved in between the two and began to call Avary, Gregory, and Hunter. Although that position was not a good place to position herself to call the three, Scarlet continued to do so.

Hunter and the other two shook their heads at Scarlet's desperate actions.

Martha sighed.

"Lord Kyros. My report."

"Erm... What if I unbind you from my Coven. It's kind of awkward that you still call me Lord, Aunt Martha." Kyros laughed, but his eyes still followed Mechiel.

"Eh? Don't wanna. Why would I allow that? Change the vows you have for me if you want. But don't put me out of your Coven!" Martha frowned. She would be insane if she agreed to that and lost all the benefits of being a member of the Coven.

"Erm... alright." Kyros scratched his head.

Diana, Branze, Aron, and Mezal also approached.

The two Lizard Champions received the orders, and they too approached Kyros.

"It's about time you tell your Coven secrets. I need to know if we are to make an offensive.." Mezal smiled as he created a powerful Force energy similar to Paladins' skill, which shielded them from all outside sounds.
