Ascension of the Nephilim

Kyros stood up and gathered the energy in his hands as he slowly walked towards the orc.

Each step he took became slower and slower as pain appeared on his face.

"Kyros!" Diana shouted.

There was no one else there to save them.

Avary, Scarlet, and Grugnyr were as close to death as they ever were. Martha was also frantically expending her Force energy by using explosive force attacks.

But Diana could not take another step. This was her limit. The power and malevolent energy that assailed her mind were too much.

Soon, the form of the woman was complete. She was blood red, but her figure looked so life-like.

"It's not her. Good." Kyros noted as he took a closer look at the form of the succubus.

The orc laughed as he watched Kyros's pale expressions and took several steps closer.

"Do you see the majesty of my queen?"

"She's not that cute." Kyros answered as he began to tremble and even wobbled as he gazed defiantly at the orc.

"Such foul mouth. The moment my Queen's avatar opens her eyes, you would die. You can't even move now from the pain, can you?" The orc laughed as he brandished his ax.

"Any last words?"

"Friend at the back... Attack now!"

[Oration activated.]

[Calaminus used Splash!]

The soul tap of Calaminus happened. It took a lot for Calaminus to move behind the vampire. Apart from the pain that Calaminus felt, there was the problem of moving unnoticed. A Vampire Emperor would naturally be able to sense him. But thankfully, his very weak soul wisp form and Kyros's [Taunt] allowed him to accomplish it.

The sudden tap surprised the large orc, who turned around swiftly.

And that was when Kyros dropped his tremendous facade.

Kyros taunted the orc vampire to make it boast and use this attack. But it also gave Kyros time to harness the energy on the Vermillion Earth Sword. The attack he did roughly reached the same amount of attack as Kyros poured a massive amount of Dark Energy on the Vermillion Earth Sword by coating it with the blood in the Bloodied Sword.

In doing so, the base attack of the Bloodied Sword weakened and increased the strength of the Vermillion Earth Sword.

Kyros moved with incredible speed and slashed the arm of the orc that wielded the large ax.

The attack drained Kyros of all the strength he had, but he succeeded. The arm fell down, and the orc squealed in pain, and the blood ritual forming on top of him disappeared.

All the blood that was above the orc came splashing down.

The angered orc swiped at Kyros with his remaining arm. But before his attack reached Kyros...

"[Knights Charge]!"

SMASH!

Diana smashed her shield with a tremendous speed that sent the orc flying back.

Kyros was already busy drinking the blood that was on the floor.

Martha was already next to him. Since he made his attack, he ordered the Coven to get near him. Martha took the arm, drank a mouthful of the blood, and threw it towards the retreating Coven.

The zombies had fallen on the ground and were no longer moving.

Scarlet, Avary, and Grugnyr had terrible appearances. Scarlet was clutching her arm as she ran towards the arm of the orc.

The three feasted on the arm of the orc while Diana and Martha fought the Vampire orcs.

"My patience paid off." Kyros smiled as he stood up. The potent blood that was used to summon the avatar of the Queen's blood was strong. It was even stronger than the blood in the orc's body!

Kyros was extremely patient all this time. He had even ordered his Coven to bear the pain and try their best to stay alive. Finally, to defeat Destiny, Kyros decided to perform a surprise attack that would cause Destiny to be incapable of acting. With his victory and experience facing Fate, Kyros knew that he had to outsmart Destiny and act when Destiny has already revealed all of its cards.

Kyros, was in fact, aiming for something better. He wanted to kill the stupid orc and absorb all of its blood for him and his Coven. He knew that such potent blood given directly from the Blood Calamity would help his Coven recover. Kyros could see that Destiny was very arrogant and would brag when it got the chance.

And so, Kyros waited. He waited for the battle to reach a critical state until Destiny prodded the orc vampire to show the most powerful spell he could do and expended a lot of the blood it had to summon the avatar of the succubus. And things played perfectly according to his plan.

The truth was, Kyros was not affected by the attacks of this orc vampire.

Ever since the orc vampire appeared and used its powers, Calaminus was confused.

Why?

Why?

Why?

But knowing that he had this ace over the orc vampire, Kyros was very careful in taking advantage of this power.

The power of the succubus was a type of soul attack. It was hard to defend against as long as they were within the range of the orc vampire. But Kyros had been trained and had a Soul resistance of such power that this type of soul attack didn't do anything to him.

[Greater Soul Resistance] was a passive ability that Kyros acquired from the torturous experiences both from his time-traveling journey, the lessons of Calaminus, and the attacks he received from the Temple.

Compared to the Temple's attacks, these soul attacks were but small tickles.

But Kyros knew that if he revealed that, Destiny would learn from it and would find a way to counter it. So he devised this multi-layered plot to ensure that the orc would be wounded and that this blood would be used to create a woman.

Kyros kept drinking the blood that was now on the ground. But this time, he had the strength, and so he used his sword to keep drinking. He could not help but chuckle as he recalled how one of his Coven's claimed that there were standards among vampires.

"Quite an increase..." Kyros smiled at the things he gained.

"I'll save my sword and cloak level for later." Kyros absorbed all the blood and glanced at the orc that was sent flying back.

It grabbed one of the vampire orcs, and the blood in the large orc's body became tentacles and dug its way to the body of the orc it grabbed. The poor orc squealed as its body began to wither. The large orc's arm began to grow back.

"Let's attack it now!" Diana urged.

"Not yet, mother. This is the perfect time for my Coven to gain experience. Let's finish our preparations first before we fight."

Diana was surprised. A few moments ago, they were on the brink of death. But now, Kyros looked so refreshed. She turned to the others and found that the other Coven had also begun to heal from their wounds.

"Are you going to tell me now?" Calaminus asked Kyros.

"Remember what you said to me when you met me?"

"Vampires suck? And mosquitos?"

"Not that one! I'm talking about when you looked into my past. Didn't you say that you couldn't find any traces of my memory? Didn't you find it strange? How can the Ancient God of Time be unable to trace back what had happened to me in the Temple? Was it really just because my memories were blank in my animal-like state? Wouldn't you be able to see it?"

"Erm... Right. That was weird."

"That means that the Temple has some power of protecting me from being seen by stranger powers. An Ancient God couldn't see it. It hid me from the eyes of all. Only Fate could see me, but it's obvious Fate had her hand in building the Temple and sealing me in there. In short, Destiny didn't see what was happening when I was sealed inside the Temple. He didn't know what I gained. And so, Destiny assessed the best way to kill me. He had seen my other exploits and concluded to use Soul attacks!"

"But didn't the Curse of Destiny appeared when you made contact with your father?"

"Right. It probably began to sense me when I broke out of the Seal. But it could not sense everything I had earned or gained either before or during. It's even possible that all the events inside the Temple and the Nephilim Sealing Mountain are out of its eyes!"

"Because of Fate! This is the will of Fate!" Calaminus realized it.

"This is so strange. We thought Fate is trying to kill you, but its also protecting you. It seems Ancient Fate really has hidden so many things from us Ancient Gods!"

"Ancient Fate is training me to help fight Destiny. And since Destiny is quite a foe, she is ruthless to me. You could even say that Ancient Fate is trying to conceal things from Destiny. Perhaps the stronger the Temple or I grow, the more ruthless Fate will be to me, but that would also mean that Destiny wouldn't be able to see what I can gain." Kyros concluded.

"What a strange mystery."

"I thought Fate and Destiny were two powers of the same source. But it seems that it's not the case. This should be related to the mystery of Beginning and End."

"I will kill you!" The large vampire orc roared as he brandished his ax. His vampire followers followed.

"You've weakened! You can't even control the zombies now. In any case, thanks for the meal."

"I will kill you and take back the blood of my Queen! How dare a creature like you taint my Queens blood! I will feast on your flesh!" The large orc took out a strange red pill and bit at it.

Powerful energy erupted as the blood around the orc began to grow stronger.

"It's growing stronger again!" Diana frowned.

"Don't worry, mother. It took him a long time to contain that energy. That must be the blood of the Blood Calamity. It seems he was given two blood pills. This should be fun. We had the appetizer. Now it's time for the main course!" Kyros smiled.
