Ascension Of The Nephilim

Back in the Black Bog Kingdom...

Angelian was standing next to Nightwing as the group continued to travel. The ship that only the old man knew how to commandeer was moving steadily.

Nightwing smiled.

He then glanced at the two dying women and bestowed on them the blood of those nearby.

Nightwing didn't turn them into vampires but used his blood magic to keep the blood of the two circulating inside of them. As that was happening, a blood-healing spell was being activated and slowly healing the two.

"Those two... were quite powerful. Scary powerful." Nightwing began to assess his situation.

Angelian suddenly collapsed in pain.

"Their attacks contained poison. Interesting. That's one powerful hex."

"Poison? But... how?"

"My saliva. It affected you first. Those that have tasted me once, will be doubly cursed. I'll tell you now if you try to kiss me again, you will die. Those two are relentless. The curse is getting stronger." Nightwing rose.

"They... know where we are?"

"Yes. But that's why I'm here. That's why I am trying to get into the Black Bog Kingdom. I was right. This group has more Eldrich servants. Two misdirections should work now. Both sides will race towards this place and they can fight. I don't know what these women who have my blood want, but the incubus and the succubus will only desire to be a queen or king of their own. Let's not fight with them. Our next plan of action is to leave a trail to prove that we did go inside and we will vanish. The succubi and the Eldrich will think that I am headed towards the Black Bog Kingdom when in fact, will create my forces right in the middle of the Uninvolved lands. We will just enter for a bit, but we will only stay for a bit and warp back to Luigi's mansion to welcome our... guests..."

"...Master. The entrance of the Black Bog Kingdom is said to be difficult to conquer." Angelian spoke.

"Even my father told me not to move towards that region. The entrance is said to be very cursed and strange."

"I've seen the truth with the memories of those we just killed. I think I can handle it." Nightwing laughed.

"Husband Nightwing. I suggest we turn back." Suddenly, the spider-woman spoke.

"Arachnid Hive Queen Sherah. You know what lies there, don't you?"

"Yes, my dear husband!"

"Careful. The curse also applies to words of endearment. Their jealousy will hurt you like a slap."

"I care not for their curses, my husband! They are-"

SLAP! SLAP!

Sherah was thrown to the side and was shocked.

"What do you know? It's literally a slap." Nightwing chuckled.

"...Master Nightwing." The Champion human stood up and watched if any slap would arrive. But she then sighed in relief as she didn't sense any jealous anger.

"Monica. Respectful titles do not belong to what endearments are. Feel free to use that."

Monica bowed and was delighted.

"My loving master... Sherah is right. That entrance is a massive mountain that is also a desolate battleground. As you may know, the Black Bog Kingdom was formed from a great war that occurred where many of the Uninvolved Land marshaled a grand army and lost so many lives but failed to conquer it due to the mysterious bog that surround it. The bodies and deaths are said to have created a curse within the entire mountain region. Death and ghost of all sorts appear and mysterious deaths have occurred. If your purpose was to redirect our foes, then we have already succeeded."

"I have seen the visions of those present. I can guess the terrors that guard the closest gates nearby. I am not worried."

"My lovingly, handsome, and spicy master...!"

"Spicy?"

Monica resolved to turn respectful addresses to become more spicy addresses.

The two girls and Nightwing were stunned at the strange way of addressing Nightwing.

"I must inform you something that perhaps these people do not know. My family is related to a Crown! He went into that gate to investigate an ancient spell that is believed to be in that region. But he died at the gate! Knowledge of this is not public but this is why even Crowns do not tangle with the things happening in this region! Even Crowns can fall in that region!"

"Oh? Interesting. It seems that there is a hidden power there... Then we must get that!" But instead of being afraid, Nightwing smiled.

"My loved Master, we will face something that can kill a Crown! I urge you to turn back!"

"No. This is the perfect test for my power. I need to test it on someone strong. I want to know if I can conquer a Crown killer without using my strongest spells. I can't rely on energy formation circles forever, after all." Nightwing laughed,

He then harnessed his power to communicate with Luigi.

"Luigi. It seems there is something of interest here. Gather more people and make the mansion mobile so as to delay the gathering. Tell Benjie Boy and Strongholgen to gather more men."

"More? Won't we be biting a bit more than we can chew?"

"I'll be bringing a harem of powerful and beautiful girls. These will probably be the most strongest and beautiful girls in the region. So don't worry. It's alright. I already found two that will devote themselves to me. These beauties will help me fight."

"... How envious."

"Don't be. The succubi are too strong. I can't have fun with any of the girls I get. It's exhausting. Being among such beauties and can't do anything to them."

"Huh. I'd figure being a Fallen you wouldn't care and have fun with them even if they die."

"The thought did cross my mind, but it's such a waste. They suddenly become Fate Challengers for some reason... I wonder if it's because she's a woman and my power of the Charmed is affecting her. I'll contact you soon. The closer I get to the Black Bog Kingdom, the more strange energies are growing rampant. I might not be able to communicate with you." Nightwing disconnected as the ship moved deeper within the Black Bog.

Meanwhile... close to the massive mountain, a woman was rushing out of one of the caves that led to the numerous entrances.

"Madam! Run!" Several soldiers cried out as they made a formation.

But deep in the cave, the sounds of death and screams could be heard.

The woman saw all the deaths occurring behind her and began to weep.

"There's no time! They should all be dead now! Let our sacrifice be not in vain! Go and save your brother!" The knight shouted and drew his sword.

At that moment, several forms began to apparate to the side.

Dead men, orcs, elves, and even monstrous races with blood spilling out of them and horrifying wounds appeared and began to attack.

The knight charged off to block one of the attacks to save the woman.

"Go now!" The knight shouted.

The woman was carrying a young boy who had many wounds. She turned around and ran with all her might.

"No... This can't be! Our family! Dad! Mom!" The woman wept as he charged forward with a young boy with him.

"What's happening?! What kind of magic is happening within these lands?!" The woman cried out and fled.

But as she moved further, she could hear the sounds of the apparating undead beings fighting and the knight that protected her was screaming in pain as the sounds of bites and breaking bones could be heard. All of the knights were being massacred.

Behind him, numerous beings of all monstrous forms began to apparate and chased after her.

She turned around and saw the monsters and fled with fear.

"No! No! Not my brother! Please, gods! Help me! Save me!" The woman wept.

"ROAR!" An undead mantis monster charged at her and slashed out.

"[Mana Shield]!" The woman shouted and a powerful shield appeared around the woman.

CRACK!

But the stabbing attack penetrated through the shield and made a weak cut on the woman.

The woman felt the attack and brought out the strongest artifact that her family had.

"Oh, Talisman of the Time Lord, Protect me! Grant me the time to save my brother! [Time Incantation]!" The woman cried and a weak purple light began to glow.

STAB!

The mantis's claw stabbed down but the woman pressed forward and forced herself to carry her brother.

The power of Time surged out to her and she vanished from sight.

WARP! WARP! WARP!

Near the ship of Nightwing trembling energy began to forge.

"Oh? What an ancient teleportation spell. Only someone like Luigi can make that." Nightwing made his ship stop.

WARP!

Space and time cracked and a woman appeared!

The woman saw the entire area change as she sped up through time and then she saw a flying ship!

"Please! Help me!" The woman cried out with all her might as she collapsed in exhaustion.

She kept crying and crying and saw a beautiful woman with angelic wings reach down on her.

The moment the woman saw the beautiful woman with angelic wings relief filled her heart.

"Please save... my brother!" She begged.

"Master?" Angelian asked.

The woman turned her gaze up and could see Nightwing. But as she saw Nightwing she froze.

The man was a horrifying being, perhaps even more demonic than the horrors she faced inside the mountain.

"No...! No...!" The woman wept and surrendered herself to death. She was so hopeful but the moment she saw Nightwing, she realized she must have reached another dangerous man. Unable to cope with the shock, she fainted.
