Ascension of the Nephilim

There was a group of vampires in front of them. And a great number of zombies were rising from the ground and slowly marching towards them at the back.

And together with the vampires was the hulking figure of the large, reddish orc vampire with powers that equaled his grandfather. But unlike his grandfather, this being was attacking them.

The power of the vampire orc surged as the blood covering his body began to move as if it were individual scales that suddenly tensed up.

Only then Kyros and the Coven could notice a strange faint, dark ripple emerging from him. 

"A dark aura...!" Scarlet could see it.

"You don't seem like ordinary vampires since you can see the power of decay. But no matter. The power of my Queen's Blood is not easily defeated!" The large vampire laughed.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Kyros asked her mother.

"I'm... alright. I was just caught off guard. It's like [Decay] that those vampire masters casts!"

"[Decay]? You there compare this power to that weak spell? Behold the power of my queen! By her blood, it terrorizes your very souls and grants you pain!" The vampire orc laughed.

"Bloodline Superiority!" The Vampire orc laughed.

A strange power began to fall on them as his eyes grew black. The death energy that was being sent out grew stronger. Everyone could feel their blood boil, and a strange power was being created.

Everyone began to fall on their knees at the immense pain in their head that they felt. Everyone could see a vision of a strange tall woman with black wings. She had immense beauty that was brought about by her deathly appearance. The sight of her gave everyone pain.

Scarlet, Avary, and Grugnyr were screaming as they felt the pain shock them.

"AHH!"

"My head!"

It was as if a strange pain was digging into their head and their very bodies.

Kyros nearly collapsed.

"Do you like it? Do you see her? My queen? The mere sight of her beauty will kill you!" The orc laughed.

Only Diana and Martha could somehow resist the pain with the high level. Yet even the two could only barely standing up.

"Kill them! I wish not to dirty my hands for these lesser vampires!" The orc laughed.

The vampires began to move and attack.

Kyros was trembling but brought out his sword and began to attack. But his speed was slow, and he could only defend himself from the attacks of the enemy. He was wielding the Bloodied sword and the Earth Sword with 

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Kyros shouted as he tried to deter some of the vampires that were rushing at them.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Diana and Martha immediately moved.

Kyros went for the kill. However, with the assistance of Diana and Martha, who was shooting, Kyros took advantage of the attack and was about to stab the first vampire that approached.

But then, a red blur appeared, and the sight of a large ax was hacking towards Kyros. The large orc moved with great speed and went for the kill as well.

"[Force Armor]!" Diana used her skill to encase Kyros with a layer of her force energy.

Kyros failed to move fast enough and had to block a large ax falling down on him. Kyros took a last-second jump to throw him backward.

BANG!

Kyros flew backward and crashed to the wall.

Diana took his place and began to attack the Vampires with a powerful shield charge.

"[Knights Charge]!" Diana roared as she ran and crashed on the orcs.

BANG!

The orcs were thrown backward as Diana harnessed her force to widen her shield and managed to push all the rushing orcs backward.

"Get out of here!" She ordered.

  Kyros could see that the Coven was struggling to move.

The large orc laughed as he saw Kyros evade.

"Very good! A vampire of such skill! And a powerful knight! Your blood will definitely please the queen!" The large vampire orc laughed as he approached to challenge Diana.

"Retreat! We can't fight like this!" Kyros urged once more.

But the Coven could not move properly. Grugnyr and Scarlet couldn't even take a step as it was already taking all the strength they had to keep themselves from falling down on the ground.

"Lord Kyros! Get everyone out!' Martha also moved.

Using the same strategy the pair employed on the battle against the orcs, Diana and Martha used their skills and teamwork to attack the large orc.

The arrows flew, and Diana stood in front and carried her shield and sword to execute melee attacks. The shield expanded with a clicking sound and became a large diamond-shaped shield that encompassed her full height.

She used her Defender form and stood at the forefront to take the heavy blows of the large orc.

BANG!

Diana took the massive attack and took a few steps back.

"What are you waiting for? Get out!" Diana shouted.

Kyros glared and raged as he turned back to order the Coven to retreat.

Martha stayed behind and tried to snipe the other orcs who were still recovering from their crash.

But the large orc used her large ax to block the arrows.

Martha cursed. It wouldn't have been possible for this orc to block her attacks, but the pain caused her to lose concentration, and she couldn't kill the rushing vampires.

Kyros was slowly trying to stand up. He even shouted in anger.

"Hurry!" Martha shouted.

Awakened by Martha's last call, Kyros ran and stumbled towards the Coven as he placed something in his mouth.

As he reached the Coven, Kyros fed something to their mouths. These were among the medicines that he had acquired from the many items he sent to the Temple. The medicine was used to soothe the mind and prevent dark illusions from working.

The three stopped screaming.

"Hurry and stand! We need to get out of here!

Scarlet, Avary, and Grugnyr swallowed the medicine, and their eyes suddenly had some clarity.

"The medicine will only last a few minutes! We have to move away from the large orc! Hurry!" Kyros ordered.

The trio slowly tried to find their footing.

Kyros retrieved the bow and arrow and began to busy shoot arrows to help Martha and Diana.

"Rush out of here. The zombies are plenty, but they are slow! You two fought against lizards that are faster! You can do it! Grugnyr, follow behind them! Go!" Kyros ordered as the three finally managed to stand.

Gritting their teeth at their own weakness, the three retreated back and ran towards the clumsy movements of the ghouls.

With their speed, the three were confident in evading, but as they approached the first zombie, the zombie suddenly ran with incredible speed.

The three were stunned and drew their swords to attack.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The zombies were blown back, but they were not sliced off from the attack!

"What?!" Scarlet was shocked at the result of her attack.

One of the zombies managed to catch them off guard and delivered a whip-like slap.

SLAP!

Scarlet was sent flying back from the tremendous force of the zombie.

"They're strong!" Grugnyr cursed. Only Grugnyr managed to resist that attacks and fought back.

Kyros was just about to pass Martha when he saw Scarlet flying.

"Scarlet!" Kyros shouted.

But right before he moved, Kyros trembled and stood in place.

"Martha, help them move forward. Use your arrows to aid their escape. I'll stay behind and fight with my mother."

"I won't let my neph-"

"Martha! This is an order from your lord!" Kyros shouted.

"...Yes, my lord." Martha reluctantly retreated and began to attack the zombies at the back.

With the lack of arrows, the vampires could now rush in without fear.

"Kill that damned archer!" One of the orc vampires had been frustrated as her presence was preventing them from murdering the knight in front of them.

The orcs rushed to the side to bypass Diana, who stood on the gap.

But right before they can pass...

"[Force Wall]!" Diana activated her knight skill and created a large barrier that covered her and created a wall of Force energy behind her.

Smash! Smash!

The orcs run smashed on the invisible wall.

"[Force Reject]!" Diana immediately caused the Force Wall to release an explosion of force which caused the orcs to be thrown back.

The attack of the large orc reached Diana.

BOOM!

Diana was blown back from the massive attacks, and the Force Wall shattered.

Diana crashed down, and Kyros ran towards her.

"Son! What are you doing here?! Get out!" She cursed as blood leaked out of her mouth.

Kyros fed her some medicine and stood up and took his stand.

"AHHH!" Scarlet's voice could be heard at the back.

"Your friend's arm is getting torn off." The orc laughed.

Kyros kept silent. Scarlet's screams grew louder, and Avary and Grugnyr's shouts could also be heard.

Martha had already focused on helping them. But her bows seemed to have no effect against this undead, who acted as if the arrows did no damage at them at all.

Avary and Grugnyr were now also shouting.

Diana also forced herself up and piked her large shield to the ground. Unfortunately, her shield had a large dent, and cracks could be seen on the side of the shield.

Suddenly, she threw the Vermillion Earth Sword to Kyros.

"Mother?" Kyros was stunned.

"Get out. Leave me here and help your friends!" Diana said as he grabbed the Earth Sword on Kyros's hand.

"I can promise to buy you twenty seconds." She said as she readied that spell.

"No! I'm not losing my mother again! Don't use it!" Kyros cursed. Things were happening just like it was.

"And my son will not die before me!" Diana shouted.

---

Curse of Destiny activated.

Diana Redblade will die after saying her farewells to Kyros Soter Vasilius Tyrannos Kyriachos.

---

A notification appeared, which made Kyros curse all the more. Destiny decided to reveal the truth of what was in store for Kyros's mother.

Kyros suddenly walked forward with the two swords and glared at the large orc.

[Taunt activated.]

"Oh? What's with that look? Such defiance. Fine then. It seems I have shamed my Queen for making poor use of her power. Then prepare to die. The sight of her could kill you! By the power of my Queen's Blood, I call forth the power of my Queen! Show us your face! Show us the beauty of Death! Show us the seduction of Darkness!" The orc vampire roared.

The blood that was surrounding the orc began to rise and float on top of him. It slowly began to take form. A beautiful figure of a woman with strange wings was taking shape from the blood.

"Calaminus. Get ready." Kyros ordered.

"I know..." Calaminus answered again.

"Is Destiny... stupid? Doesn't it know about your abilities?" Calaminus couldn't help but wonder. 

"I'll explain later. Let's go."
