Ascension Of The Nephilim

SLAP!

A resounding sound could be heard from the outside of the dark wall.

Kyros was slapped so hard that he crashed on the dark wall.

"Hmph! What arrogance!" Martha frowned as her hand was pulled back from a portal.

"What gives?!" Kyros roared.

"What do you think you are doing to Mechiel?" Martha asked.

"I just explained what I was doing! I was trying to make the Blood Calamity like me!"

"In front of Mechiel? Isn't she the love of your life? Then why flirt with the Blood Calamity?" Martha challenged.

Kyros opened his mouth, but he couldn't find an answer to Martha's challenge despite his superb wisdom. She was still right. It just seemed wrong, and Kyros felt guilty.

"See? Even with your superb wisdom, you couldn't answer that!"

"Why is Fate leading her to us?" Kyros frowned.

"If we think about that, we might not get the answer. Fate's a woman, right? What if she's just having fun and giving that Blood Calamity the worst kind of punishment by making her fall in love with you? Aside from the whole spying thing, she is making you do that to torture her? But regardless, you should stop. Earlier, you weren't trying to kiss Mechiel, but the Blood Calamity!" Martha pointed.

Mechiel was still pressed on the wall, and her heart was racing.

"I wasn't going to kiss the Blood Calamity! It was timed! Look! The Blood Calamity doesn't have the strength to appear since she isn't feeding on me! Sheesh! Just because I took away some of the rules of your vow doesn't give you much of a right to slap me like that! And you even used space magic!" Kyros cursed.

The slap came out of nowhere. Kyros was focused and was enjoying the eyes of Mechiel. That eye was such a delight to him. When they were forced to journey with each other, he took pleasure in looking at those eyes and enjoyed himself in the experience.

But then, the slap of Martha appeared as a portal was created a millimeter barely away from Kyros's skin, and Martha sent her arm in the portal to slap Kyros.

"Excuses! You are still a kid! In no way am I going to allow you to corrupt a maiden's heart! You are ten years old!"

"I already told you about my past life! It's pretty obvious that I am older than my age!"

"Then that even makes it criminal! I wonder how high you would rate on the pedometer?"

"I'm pretty sure that's not what a pedometer is used to measure."

"Shut up, pedo!"

"Oof. A burn heal won't work on that burn. Should I get you a Full Restore?" Calaminus asked.

"I already told you that she's destined for me! Kyros explained.

"Yes! But she hasn't shown any signs to remember whatever crazy past life you guys lived in! So right now, she's ten!"

"She isn't ten! She's a dhampir who was given an unaging curse by a kind vampire. She's been ten for like... seven years now!"

"Really?" Martha was stunned and turned to Mechiel.

Mechiel still had a flushed expression.

"You're seventeen years old?" Martha asked.

"Ye-Yes, Lady Martha! I have a sickness, and the vampire that helped my father gave me a magical unaging curse to stop the growth of my body. But I am indeed older."

"So that's why you're so mature." Martha noticed the strange things she noticed about the girl.

"See?"

"What see? Your so smart but, you can't figure out that she's seventeen! Still a minor! I can't believe I serve a Pedo lord!"

"Oof. Not even Max Revive can heal you from that burn..." Calaminus laughed.

Kyros was cursing out.

"In any case... Take it slow. You, youngsters, need to have a romantic journey. Stop using Charm! Hey, Mechiel. He's using Charm on you, which is the same power of the Blood Calamity. Don't fall for it! If you find yourself thinking of him, stop it. I know!" Martha then tapped on Mechiel's head as the power of Separation appeared.

"How do you feel? Is your heart still racing?" Martha asked.

"N-no." Mechiel shook her head.

"Hmm... Be more honest, alright."

"N-no! Really!" Mechiel insisted.

"Alright. I believe you. If ever you have problems with your emotions, come to me, and I'll take it all away. Love should blossom without any spells. Otherwise, it would be fake." Martha glared at Kyros.

"... You're right. I'm sorry. I got a little... distracted and excited. I should let this happen naturally." Kyros sighed. Kyros realized that he was being a bit too hasty and even abused his power.

"A little horny is what you got, you Pedophile in a shotacon's body!"

"What the-even- what?!"

"You heard me! Let's go! We have a war to fight.

The darkness that covered Kyros, Martha, and Mechiel opened up.

Kyros had a great red hand-shaped imprint on his face.

The Coven was shocked. It was impossible for Kyros to get slapped so easily!

"Lady Martha sure is amazing..."

Kyros was grumbling but said nothing.

"Is grandfather done? We have to go now." Kyros spoke.

"He's ready anytime. They are just pushing the enemies enough for the others to get acquainted with in battle." Aron answered.

Kyros could see that the forces of darkness kept attacking, and the knights constantly battled.

"Dad and mom should awaken soon. They'll defend the Temple, and it will be up to them if they will push forward or stay to defend. But the rest of us will go." Kyros ordered. He willed it, and the bodies of the Champions and the Commander were absorbed by the Temple.

The of the Temple had turned dim after using Holy Beam. But now, it increased.

Kyros was still rubbing his face as he observed the several notifications that he got when the Temple absorbed the Commander and his Champions.

---

Commander-level Champion of Destiny absorbed.

Grave Digger protocol acquired.

Myster Experience System acquired.

---

Nephilim Sealing Temple

Status: War with Darkness

Nephilim Darkness Crusade has started.

Shade Level: 4 (1:03:23:43 remaining to start Level 5)

Temple Level: 5 (19843/100000 points to Level 6)

Three more Commanders are required to level up.

----

"Nephilim Darkness Crusade... It seems that the shade Tribulation is pitting me against some of Destiny's armies. And I need to kill three more Commanders for the Temple to level up?" Kyros frowned.. The last line wasn't there when he first read through the notifications. But now, they needed to actually kill Commanders and not just accumulate points from the death of every shadow creature.

"I grew stronger again!" Mezal laughed. The power of the Dragon Commander was so strong that it allowed everyone to receive a level increase.

Martha was silent as she observed her body. She could tell that the dragonic form she had had also gotten stronger.

This time the Emberdon's were also amazed as they all received a level increase.

"Coven, please keep defending this place. Go and take your positions. Mardock, I trust that you have grown stronger as well?"

"The Entropy Core of that Giant has greatly strengthened me. I should be able to display a strength of Iron Golems." Mardock reported.

"Await the awakening of my parents."

"What happened to them, anyway?" Mezal asked.

"They might be seeing a vision, and by the looks of the faint power emerging from them, they could be seeing who they are. Actually, counting Fate's weird prank on me, there are too many things that we can't figure out how. But we have to go. It's starting." Kyros glanced towards the portal.

More of the army recklessly attacked.

"Let's cut off that creeping fire first. Champions, family! Prepare to charge." Kyros's wings spread out, and he flew to the skies.

Mezal and Aron hoped on the magic carpet, which now had Faye piloting it.

Three others flew on their respective flying devices and were bidding their goodbyes and leaving instructions to Stellya, who would remain.

A large lizard creature appeared out of the Void. It now had large wings and a thin body.

"A Wyvern? You can assume that form now? I thought that that Commander was a Drake?" Kyros asked.

"This is... a poor imitation to the cells of other wyverns I've devoured in the past, Lord Kyros. This can only imitate a third of the true speed a real Wyvern of this level can reveal."

Martha sat behind it.

"Can't you take a bigger form? I want my husband would be able to ride with me." Martha asked. While Puff's form was larger, it still only could fit one.

"I... would need to devour something again." Puff sighed.

"I think we have to charge ahead and open the path and help the knights and servants retrieve the corpses. Many of that corpse that we failed to bring to the Temple have dispersed." Mezal added. He had fought and defended in the gap and gave his suggestion.

"I don't think they need to retrieve it. Absorbing the Commander unlocked two skills of the Temple." Kyros smiled as he read the description of the two acquired skills.

"Didn't you try to forcibly code that into the Temple a while back?" Calaminus asked.

"Yeah. I guess I can only abuse the Temple according to certain limits. But I'm glad those two protocols were granted. Myster Experience System is quite amazing..." Kyros smiled as he read the description.
