Ascension Of The Nephilim

The power of the Coven was working. Even before the Vampire Commander had died, the Coven was becoming stronger thanks to the Coven Skill, Blood Bond. Their ability to pass on and improve as they drank created a surge of power that affected two people.

The first one was Kyros.

He had felt the changes and smiled.

"So Uncle Aron is safe... It's up to you, Aunt Martha. Save them." Kyros hoped for Martha to be saved, and he stopped running away from the Commanders chasing them.

"Oh? You stopped running?" The Grendelor Commander caught up with Kyros. Next to him was the Skeleton Commander.

"Oh? What made you stop? Did you figure that you can't escape?" The Skeleton Commander asked.

"Not exactly. It's just that now it's time for me to go on the offensive." Kyros smirked.

"Hmm? Eredus is dead?" The Grendelor was stunned.

"Next will be you guys!" Kyros taunted and charged at them.

The sudden surge of power allowed Martha to recover from her deleted from at that exact moment.

"Oh? Is this dragonic recovery? To think your pale expression would recover so fast. Come, lady dragon. I grow hard with desire." The Cardinal Necromancer laughed with a lewd grin as he revealed a bulge on his pants.

The vulgar act drove Martha angrier. But she kept quiet and allowed the energy to make her recover.

The death of the Vampire Commander was very nutritious for the Coven. The power that they shared through the Coven Skill Blood Bond was one that has drastically increased at the death of the previous two Commanders.

With the awakening of the Myster Experience System, it increased greatly. All members of the Coven could immediately evolve their blood and be empowered by the Myster Experience System through that. If the Coven were to drink the blood of a stronger being, it would pass on the power they absorb to the other members.

Martha had not only grown stronger but her energy was being restored.

"Master... Although the plan is working... this is not enough for us to escape!" Puff cursed as he sensed it.

"Relax. This enemy is most likely the enemy that my husband fought. This isn't the Commanders that Lord Kyros aimed to kill. Trust Lord Kyros. His arrangements must have seen this. Just get ready to pour your power on that Core. Show me what it means to be a magical dragon!" Martha smiled.

All of a sudden, a strange ripple was felt across the area. It was at that time that the Vampire Commander Eredus died.

The Cardinal before her now had an angered expression, as did the Wyvern.

"Vampire Commander Eredus has fallen!" The Wyvern Qara exclaimed.

BOOM!

A loud sound echoed out in the distance as if the sounds of a Commander were exerting the full force of their power.

The ugly expressions of the Wyvern and the Cardinal turned even uglier. It was too fast!

"What?! Grendelor Commander Lucas!"

"Not just him. Skeleton Commander Faust is also dead." The Cardinal frowned.

At that moment, Martha revealed her ace. She brought out a small orb. It was the Time Core that Kyros had.

Martha and Puff poured out a massive amount of magic that they had gained. They could feel their blood surge with power.

Time had stopped.

Calaminus floated above them.

"AHHHH! Finally! Someone let me out of my cage! Now time for me is nothing! I'm counting no age!" Calaminus began his rap game as he did a power that he hadn't used before since he reverted time. And that was to stop time.

Never before had Kyros shown this as it was dangerous. It would alert the many gods and fallens who have betrayed their side. Kyros also knew that Fate was doing her best to hide Calaminus, while Destiny was doing everything to unravel his location. And so, Kyros never made Calaminus do massive time magic such as this.

And even when Kyros had created a Time Core and made it the dwelling place of Calaminus, they never fully utilized that power.

Kyros went through the trouble of creating the Time Core as he knew it would help Calaminus reach the next level. The Temple detected that Kyros had a low-grade Time Core. And it upgraded it, allowing Calaminus to pass through the last stages of being Soul Wisp and finally becoming a Soul Core.

Kyros hid this ace and gave it to Martha because he knew that Destiny, who lost the previous battle against Martha, would prepare no ordinary means to kill her and set enemies to disgrace her.

And Kyros's expectations worked. The Cardinal appeared wanting to bed Martha.

Martha had repositioned herself. Although she was shocked that a being with a similar fluctuation to Kyriachos appeared, she had only a little remaining time, and she had to use it. With Time stopping, the wind that held her helpless had lost its force. Martha aimed and was pointing an arrow right towards the Wyvern. She knew that her attack could not kill either, and she only had this quick second to attack and then flee.

"You said you were hard with desire, right? Let's see how hard it is." Martha chuckled as she released her bow.

Time had stopped so abruptly that the Wyvern and the Cardinal were in no defensive poses. However, the power of the arrow had both Time and Space, and it flew and pierced right through the Wyvern and continued towards the groin of the Cardinal.

And with the remainder of her power, Martha teleported out and flew with all her might teleporting now and then towards the place where her father-in-law was fighting.

Back in the entrance of the portal headed towards the Temple...

Mechiel's figure changed. She stood up and had grown taller and more beautiful.

"Oh? Was the curse revoked? You've aged, Mechiel. Or should I say that you've bloomed into a beautiful woman?" Diana smiled.

Scarlet's heart froze as she saw the beautiful form of Mechiel.

"No. Those eyes are that of the Blood Calamity. So tell me, are you going to attack us? Your actions of foolishness must have alerted Destiny. You can't hear his call anymore, can you? In this place, you are not a soldier of Destiny but an enemy of it now." Branze guessed.

The Blood Calamity's eyes changed, and Mechiel's innocent expression returned. She was shocked at her new figure.

"The curse is gone...!" Mechiel was amazed.

"Hmph! How rude of the Blood Calamity. Welcome back, Mechiel." Branze nodded.

"Impressive! That Blood Calamity knows how to absorb! You should be a Captain Level warrior!" Avary praised.

Even Gregory was starstruck at Mechiel's beauty.

"Hmph!" An angry Myas 'accidentally' stomped on Gregory as she fought and shot the incoming bats.

"I feel it too! The Blood Calamity must have forced my body to rank up."

"Lord Branze. What about Lord Aron?" Hunter asked.

"Is his condition stable?" Branze looked and found his brother unconscious.

"He needs the constant deaths of the enemies to maintain his life. Who will go back to the Temple to bring him? I can go!" Hunter volunteered. He was originally one of Aron's men, and his heart was aching seeing the pitiful state of Aron.

"No. Don't go back to the Temple. We will be pushing forward."

"What?!" Hunter was stunned.

"We won't be going back to the Temple. We fight onwards." Branze repeated.

"My Lord? We are abandoning the Temple?" One of the Knights asked,

"Yes. Let's go."

We don't send him back to the Temple?!" Hunter was shocked.

"No. The Temple won't be there. It will be wherever Kyros wants it to be." Branze revealed.

"This is the reason why we were asked to move. Our greatest weapon is the Temple. The problem is that it can only be moved to where Kyros is. But, it can only bring the structure of the Temple and not the people within. As such, we had to go through this. Kyros left me to train everyone to have the strength to travel. That way, he can utilize the Temple's power." Branze explained.

"We kept it a secret in case Destiny would sense enemies who could read minds or other ways to unveil our plans. In fact, Kyros didn't even tell anyone! But he trusted that I would anticipate this. The plan worked. Don't you feel it?" Branze asked as he glanced towards a certain direction.

On the direction that he glanced at...

Kyros was standing in the very center of the Temple. He had summoned it and immediately used [Holy Beam] that surprised the two Commanders, and both were killed in the massive Holy Beam attack.

The Temple quickly absorbed the bodies of the two Commanders, and it regained power once more.

Kyros received the experience that the Temple bestowed from the bodies of the two Commanders.

The massive boost allowed him to raise his level to 22.

Kyros smirked.

"Interesting.. I'm still a Captain, but my class is one of Champion." Kyros smiled, and he glanced ahead and moved as the Temple disappeared through the Temple Skill, [Carrier has Arrived!]
