Ascension of the Nephilim

The birth of the dragon created great powerful energy. But only those who were Saints could roughly tell the exact location.

For the rest, they felt a strange premonition and fear. A desire to worship or flee fell on many residents of the entire region.

Martha watched as the egg finally opened up.

A small reptilian creature, that was as large as a dog, broke out of the egg. It had a lizard-like mouth, very small wings, and had a short tail.

"Great..... I'm a Wyrm now." Dorothy sighed.

"A wyrm?" Martha asked.

"Flightless dragons. This is the true form of the dragon egg. It makes sense. Of all dragons, Wyrms had the hardest eggs that could survive a millennium without being exposed to nutrients." Dorothy began to sulk.

"Let's move. Since you can't fly, hang on." Martha ordered.

"Yes, Master."

Hunter and Martha rushed towards the rope that was prepared for their escape and did the climb.

"That power you revealed was quite strong. It reminded me of an earlier event I felt something similar when Lord Kyros separated from us." Martha explained.

Dorothy was shocked. 

"Something similar?" Dorothy couldn't believe it.

"Yes. Just a vague sensation. Nothing serious." Martha brushed it off.

"The Lowlands will be in chaos soon. Those Eldrich will surely exert more effort in coming here." Martha sighed.

"Too bad the link has disappeared once more. We can't communicate with Lord Kyros." Hunter sighed.

"They must have seen the notification of us subduing Destiny. Lady Diana ought to be waiting for us in the previously discussed place. We head there and head towards that Temple. Dorothy, teach me how to hide these scales."

"Yes, Master! But Master... May I be bold to ask for a request?" Dorothy asked.

"You wish to change your name?"

"I don't need to have my true name back. But please, change my name to that of a male dragon."

"I see. What are your specialties?" Martha asked.

"The Code that the Pendragon walked under was a path which combined both physical power and magic. Among Thanes, we held great magic."

"So you're a magic dragon? Then you shall be called, Puff."

"..." Puff wanted to cry. But he kept silent as it was way better than Dorothy.

Meanwhile... Back in the Nephilim Sealing Mountain...

Kyros had eliminated all the enemies. When he managed to regain his consciousness, he kept killing and absorbing the enemy and soon even began to use his sword to devour even the flesh of the beast. The reason he did this was because of the many notifications that followed.

---

Acquired Flesh Devourer Level 1.

---

The stunned Kyros, and he immediately used in on the dead lizards. His sword began to eat away the flesh, and it was being absorbed into Kyros.

The scene frightened Gojirrah all the more. How could a vampire have a sword that could devour flesh as if it was water?

Kyros, Branze, and Aron suddenly felt a strange power and made them turn towards a particular direction.

"What is that?" Aron asked.

Kyros smiled and sighed in relief.

---

Martha Bowheart Steele has become the Eternal Master of Dragon Orgen Pendragon. (True Name: Puff)

---

"It's Aunt Martha. She's alright. That is her new power." Kyros called out to Branze and Aron.

The two turned to Kyros. They had remained quite a distance from Kyros even after the bright light flashed and dispelled the darkness since Kyros began to devour the flesh of these creatures. They thought Kyros was still acting in anger.

"Why did the name change from Dorothy to Puff?" Calaminus wondered as he read the notification and witnessed the sudden change from Dorothy to Puff.

But before Kyros could react, another notification popped up.

---

Martha Bowheart Steele has awakened the Corruption of Kyriachos.

Conflicting Divinities and Corruption cannot be awakened. 

Activate Corruption of Kyriachos on all Coven Members?

---

"So it's like this? They have the potential for all but will only walk on a certain branch of Corruption or Divinity?" Kyros noticed.

"Not everyone has the Path of Mysterion. Maybe when your Divinity grows stronger, it will allow them to wield more."

Kyros selected no at the prompt. He knew that the others might develop other divinities.

---

Martha has acquired Dragonic Essence!

Coven has gained the ability of Flesh Devourer level 1.

---

"It looks like that Dragon Egg helped us gain a lot." Kyros smiled.

"Kyros..." Aron immediately ran when he noticed that Kyros had regained consciousness.

"Hems and Hemsey is dead. But Aunt Martha managed to subdue her battle against Destiny." Kyros spoke.

Aron froze at those words.

"I... can probably resurrect Hemsey soon. But for some reason, Hems is really gone." Kyros added softly.

Aron paused.

"I... see..."

"I'm sorry, Uncle." Kyros apologized.

"Was that why you lost control?" Branze asked.

"Yes. Forgive me, father. You must have heard of what my uncle said about my past. And I'm sure that you think I was lying. But it was true. I lost my family, friends, and ally. I was hoping that... there would be no more deaths." Kyros apologized.

"No deaths? We are Steele, Kyros. All our knights and mercenaries that stayed in service were expected to die. From what you said, Hems have done a great service. He will be remembered as one of the heroes in our Steele family. With your strength, you have faced many challenging trials and barely succeeded. So I guess it's necessary for you to taste the bitterness of regret. In this experience, you will begin to ask, What's next? What can we learn from this, and how do we avoid it?"

"I understand, father. I already have thought about it. We'll have to wait for now. I just hope Aunt Martha has the strength to come back here quickly. As for our next plan, please go back with the group and offer these things to the Golem City. Grandpa should be arriving soon with the armies."

"What about drawing more lizards here? I thought you planned to use the human kingdoms as fodder for the upcoming battle. Isn't that why we set out here? To attack and draw more lizards? Can you achieve that all by yourself?"

"Yes. I'll handle that. My little trip is to create chaos and increase my level. So I will go and harass the nearby lizards to force them to attack us. Gojirrah will go with me and guide me to explore the region."

Gojirrah Was silent, but he was shaking. He didn't want to be around the crazy Kyros. When Kyros spoke about increasing his level, a surge of great bloodlust was leaked. He knew Kyros wanted to kill more to satisfy the rage in his heart. 

"How? How do I flee from this boy?!" Gojirrah was silently thinking. He had to escape. This boy was too terrifying! He didn't want to serve such a powerful and blood-crazed demon!

"How can the two of you spur the lizard leaders to send a mighty army to the Golem City?

"Yes. Instead of attacking several lizard tribes to force the Lizard Lords to act, we now have a certain power that we could use to tempt them." Kyros smiled.

"A certain power?"

"Yes. But to do that, I will need Gojirrah to drink my blood and become part of my vampire Coven."

Gojirrah was stunned. He wanted to yell 'like hell I will' but feared Kyros.

"M-me?" Gojirrah asked.

"I don't think... that... that I can be of use to your Coven, mighty Kyros! Let someone else take my place!"

"What power do you have that you need Gojirrah to bring out a certain power?"

"As we already talked about, the Lizards are probably after the legacy of dragons. And Aunt Marth somehow bonded with a powerful Dragon that was close to becoming a god. And that power is now in me. In my blood. If Gojirrah drinks my blood and becomes a member of my Coven, he will awaken the potential to be dragons!"

"Let's do it." Gojirrah knelt down almost automatically.
