Ascension of the Nephilim

The Dark Fanged Tiger was a monstrous beast that was aligned with the powers of the Dark. The more they consumed, the stronger they would become. 

Only cultivators that are over twenty or are Captains in terms of rank could contend with this monstrous beast one-on-one.

The tigers revealed their powerful abilities. They could leap and jump on top of trees. With their nearly aerial combat ability, Kyros could not simply ignore and flee as these beasts could chase and attack him even with his use of his chains.

Kyros leaped and rushed towards one of the tigers who jumped at the moment he charged. The tiger roared and opened its maw to bite on Kyros's sword.

The moment Kyros saw it, he whipped a chain to the side to chain the direction of the flight and struck the tiger on the foot with the sword.

SLASH!

The slash didn't leave a huge cut on the legs, but it met a strange resistance. The strike caused the leaping tiger to fall headfirst on the ground.

SMASH!

Kyros retreated with his chains and cursed.

"Dark Devourer. What's an OP ability like that doing on some random tigers!?" Kyros cursed.

The tiger that was slashed on his legs stood up, howling angrily at Kyros. Not a single wound could be found on his leg.

"Great. A Force Slash didn't even cut his legs. Not only are they strong, but they are resistant to dark energy. My Bloodied Sword won't be able to hurt them."

"This may not just be some random tiger that the Blood Calamity turned into her minions but could be her actual pet that was sealed together with her." Calaminus guessed.

Eight tigers encircled Kyros once more.

"They have some intelligence. Their formation is changing. It's adapting to my movements. Man! I want a smart tiger too!" Kyros sighed as he ran forward.

"Just one-shot these tigers with light."

"No way. That's my ace! I could surprise the Blood Calamity with that and deal a lethal blow. I gotta keep some of my aces. I'm sure that the Blood Calamity couldn't have seen me when I attacked that town and won't know about Skotos Eis Phos." Kyros answered as he observed the movements of the tiger.

The tigers formed their formation, and all began to jump. Some began to jump on top of the trees and used the force of their jump to land and use the rebounding force to attack Kyros.

Kyros changed the weapon he was carrying. The ax appeared on his arms, and he immediately channeled the Magic on it.

The core of the two axes brightened as it received the magical energy of Kyros. It began to burn, and the heat of Fire and Entropy appeared on the blades of the ax.

With a quick flick, the darkness of his chains made the chains connect with the ax, and Kyros began his chain and ax whipping attacks.

The whip was so fast that the tigers could only turn their heads to avoid a critical strike.

The two axes smashed on the shoulders of two different tigers who howled in pain.

Kyros harnessed the darkness and used the charge of the tigers he struck and redirected them to smash on another.

SMASH! SMASH!

The ferocious tackle of two more tigers hit each other.

The last four tigers roared and attacked Kyros on the side and on the back, sealing his escape.

But right before they struck Kyros, a large boulder appeared out of nowhere.

SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!

The four leaping tigers found themselves smashing on the rock.

The impact of their charge was so strong that the boulder actually broke to pieces.

The four tigers were rolling in pain, and Kyros summoned the Blood Golems through his Bloodied Sword and made the two golems attack one of the dizzy tigers. 

"Huh... The Blood Calamity is weaker than I thought. She doesn't know of my ability to retrieve objects from my Storage Space? Strange. Was she unable to see my fight with her orc minion?" 

Kyros turned his attention and sprinted to attack one of the tigers he wounded with the ax.

Using the marked power of the objects, Kyros was able to store the axes directly to his inventory even though they were connected on the tiger's shoulders.

The tigers were howling as the darkness surrounding their body couldn't resist the fire.

"Painful, right? Even my familiars, which are made of high-quality darkness, were burned by this fire."

Kyros brought out the Bloodied Sword and aimed for the wound.

"[Force Pierce]!" 

The Bloodied Sword managed to penetrate through the wounded carapace of the Dark Fanged Tiger.

The tiger howled in pain as it felt the sword eat it from the inside.

The ax appeared once more on his hand, and he gazed at the remaining tigers. 

"The Blood Calamity sure is underestimating me. It's good that Destiny lost that round. Now he'll surely lose this piece." Kyros smiled as he attacked the tigers, who also pounced towards him.

Back in the Nephilim Sealing Mountain, the lizardmen captains were retreating. It was a massacre on their side. The Char Vermillion Lizards, which they sent to attack Aron was all massacred. 

Soon, it was the Man-Gators and the Lizardmen who began to fight Aron. But even then, Aron had bested them to the point that the Lizard Captains had to block Aron.

The Lizard Captains stalled until the Lizard mages and the more powerful squadrons arrived.

"Report." One Lizard Champion asked.

"The Golems made another attack. We had to investigate and found that humans are helping them."

"Humans? So that's why they began to move out of their city! This must be because of those damned humans! Those Golems wouldn't even lift a finger to kill one of our Captains before!" The lizard champion turned and observed the battlefield.

"The Golems did all this?" The champion asked in confusion. The dead bodies that were all over the battlefield did not have even one golem or human body.

"No, lord Champion... It was that man." The lizard captain pointed towards the spot where Aron was now seated in a crossed-legged position.

"A single man killed all of those lizards and man-gators?" The Lizard champion was shocked.

He took a more curious glance at Aron and frowned. The fluctuation of force Energy was rather plain.

"s he a Champion level?" He finally asked.

"No. He's definitely a Captain! But... his powers are Champion level. Even those captains that have reached level 30 and are awaiting Evolution died at his hands!" The Lizard Captain replied.

The Lizard Champion harnessed his force energy to sense Aron, but suddenly, a strange power shielded him.

Branze had noticed it and appeared in front of Aron. 

"Hmp... So there was another one. That other man ought to behave the power to fight Champions. They must be exceptional humans from greater lands. Our lizard captains, especially those level 30 who only needed more food to evolve, should have easily suppressed men. But these two freaks must be of an exceptional kingdom. The Golems have a troublesome ally. We may need to wipe out their forces and initiate the war earlier. If all these lizards died without a single golem expending their life energy, then we would soon be finished!" The Champion suddenly howled a strange cry that resounded all over the cave.

Branze stood in front of Aron and used his force energy to repel the sound so it would not disturb Aron.

"What's he saying?" Branze asked Stoph.

"He's calling for more allies. He's calling for war." Stoph had a serious expression on his face.

"And we'll give it to him. It was only a matter of time that they would organize an army to attack us. We have to defeat this entire army so they would send a stronger force."

"Defeat an army?!" Stoph was stunned.

"Yes. It's all part of the plan. My father has already completed his negotiations and is on his way here as we speak. The army that will be coming will be composed of several human champions. Aren't they the best group to help us restore your diminishing life energy?" Branze asked.

"..." Stoph remained silent as he gazed at the strange knight.

"You have no... qualms of sacrificing your own race?"

"Unlike you golems, most races live to betray and abuse one another. It's not that of a big deal. We are fighting a mysterious enemy. Our goal isn't just your survival but the revival of that creature known as the Gigantes. And so, we have to take of this force and capture more lizards to understand more of their world and ranking. What is the situation beyond the city? These Lizards ought to know."

Stoph pondered and finally nodded his head. It had been too long since they sent a full force to scout the area. Apart from the rogue creatures they find appearing out of the empty place, they knew nothing of the world beyond the city.

"Have you seen creatures as strong as that one before?" Branze pointed to the lizard champion.

"A few in our crusades of long ago. The orcs had some warriors as strong as that."

"Then think about it. They sent one here. In short, their supply of this is much more common."

"Wouldn't that be logical?"

"No. Considering they understand how you live. They know you won't attack. So that Champion must be the only Champion assigned in this area. We kill that. We force the lizards to send more. And that's when my human friends will arrive."

"I understand. I shall make haste and request more golem from my king."

"Hm... No. We won't need it. The passage of this tunnel is quite small. As long as we can reach the front lines of the lizard, we should win." Branze smiled as he glanced at his brother.

"What power have you awakened, brother? It's even causing my blood to boil..." Branze wondered.
