Ascension of the Nephilim

Mechiel reached the throne room, and all the royals were containing their emotions at the sight of the beautiful woman.

But the woman seemed so distant that it was as if there was no hope in her tribulations.

She arrived and gave a low bow, and waited. She didn't even turn around and kept silent.

She had respect and did not speak, for she was not the person whom the king of Ever Day would meet.

"Ahem... Please introduce this... Pr-princess." The king reminded the herald.

The herald was awakened from his trance.

"This is... erm... Lady Mechiel Steele. Daughter-in-law to the Commander of the Lowland Alliance, Branze Steele."

"Daughter-in-law? You are not even a princess?"

Mechiel kept her head low and shook her head.

"This lowly one is married to the son of my lord, your majesty."

"...Then it seems that Branze Steele is quite blessed to have such a lovely daughter-in-law as you."

"...Your grace... my arrival brought only despair. My love has been taken from me, and I have caused my lords to lose their son."

"Was your husband... kidnapped?"

"Yes, my lord. But please, await my lords to arrive so they can speak of these things. I am in no position or authority to discuss such grave news about the Eldrich and their plans."

"Grave news?! The Eldrich?!" The king exclaimed.

But Mechiel only bowed her head and did not answer.

The king had the power of a Conqueror and was one of the Midlands' strongest cultivators.

"What news do they-"

"Royal Father. Please wait. That woman clearly does not wish to speak of these things. Let us wait for Commander Branze to arrive." A Crowned Quick Blade Paladin spoke to the side. He was the Royal Prince of the Kingdom.

The king perceived that his boy was clearly smitten and could only sigh.

"Then I shall await Commander Branze." The king answered. He had a strange expression on his face as he could feel pity for the girl rise.

"Let us hope that that woman's husband is indeed dead. She will make a fine wife to our son." The king sent a secret message to the queen using a powerful link that the two share.

"Yes... I was thinking the same thing. That girl... she seems so... troubled. I pity her. If she marries our son, she will see brighter days."

"As do I. This woman is quite loyal to the family. Such beauty, and she could have chosen to be married elsewhere. Let's persuade his in-laws to form a political marriage with us. "

"Indeed. I can sense that another woman of great beauty is also headed here. The commotion outside is quite annoying and is causing jealousy and hate to rise." The queen frowned. Her power in the Light allowed her to sense emotions.

"And yet this widow did not cause such emotions?"

"...No. It's a very interesting reaction. It's as if everyone outside pitied the woman in some form of unity. Her beauty is terrifying. But her pain is so visible that no one would dare to add any more sorrow to this woman but desire to save her."

"Let's hope our two sons will not fight over her. How beautiful is the other woman?"

"You'll see. Here comes the Commander of the Alliance."

The moment Branze and Diana stepped into the throne room, they could see everyone looking at Mechiel. Some were even tearing up or weeping.

The two intentionally stopped and turned around to wait for Scarlet. They dared not approach the throne and talk to the king without their two assurances on display.

Soon, bright white rays of Light appeared inside the throne room.

The Paladin that escorted Scarlet bade farewell as he returned to his place with many of his peers gnashing their teeth, and some even threatened to kill him! But the Paladin laughed it off as he left.

Inside the throne room, Scarlet finally showed herself to the peak experts and people of power.

She wore an innocent, easily intimidated, and even trembling look. She glanced at the throne and panicked, not knowing what to do or where to stand.

The onlookers were so affected by her vulnerable and confused disposition that they began to point to the girl where to stand.

"Here? Over here?! Stop! There are so many of you pointing!" Scarlet wept in confusion until finally, with a flash of Light, a handsome young man stood next to Scarlet. He had the outfit of a high-ranking Bishop, but his outfit had a robe of many colors. He was the Crown Magistrate and Bishop of the Light.

"My lady. Please stand here." The second prince of Ever Day appeared.

At that moment, the king and queen of Ever Day smiled as they saw their other son move.

"Problem solved. It looks like our sons have made their picks." The king sent his wife.

"Indeed. We better give this Branze Steele a show of true power. He might be so used in victories in the Lowlands and thinks that the support of the Highlands will grant him any favors in this place." The queen chuckled.

"Of course. I planned to do that." The king smiled.

The king turned to Branze and Diana standing next to him.

"You must be Commander of the Alliance, Branze Steele!" The king spoke. The power of the Conqueror quaked in the room, and it was as if it was pressing down on Branze.

It was a show of superiority. Massive Force energy pressed on them.

BANG!

The powers clashed, and the king was surprised that the two chose to defend themselves.

"Oh?" The king smiled as more of his powers were pushed down.

"[Shield of Steel]!" Branze and Diana spoke together and used the powerful spells they had been practicing. They raised their shields. As the Conqueror's power plunged on them, they used their strongest spells.

The Code of Steel appeared, and the Force energy of the two expanded out.

BOOM!

The two Crown princes moved near Mechiel and Scarlet and used their powers to defend the clash.

"Shield Experts! Impossible! Since when do the Lowlands hold Shield Experts?!"

Everyone else in the throne room also used their powers to block the rippling clash between them.

"Impressive. As a Commander, you can withstand Cardinals... I wonder if we push it up a notch! Since you dared to resist, then let's go all the way! Allow me to test your durability, Steele!"

The king raised his hand, and a faint Crown appeared above him. Martial power created a large avatar of Force Energy. The avatar held a gigantic two-handed sword and prepared to swing it.

"Tell me, have you two seen such use of this power?" The king chuckled.

"My king!" A royal advisor exclaimed.

But Diana and Branze stood firmly.

"We've killed a large Crab Commander in Middle with the same technique as this. So allow me and my wife to embarrass ourselves with our technique! Mechiel! Scarlet! If you will."

"Yes, Father-in-law."

"Yes, lord Branze!"

Mechiel and Scarlet began to gather the elements around them.

The Crown Princes were stunned to see the elements that the two ladies gathered.

"[Celestial Guard]! [Holy Strength]!" Diana and Branze shouted as the power of two more Codes appeared.

The Celestial Code and the Code of Soter shone forth. The power of the celestial elements and the strong will of Light empowered the two.

A faint crown of Light appeared behind Diana and Branze, and their form was coated in a strange armor as Gennaios Steele, and a Shield of Burden that was Katara Steele's form appeared.

-n0ve1、com "Impossible?! Crown level?!" The advisor shouted.

"Impressive! Very impressive! A true Shield Expert has visited Ever Day! Let's test your might!"

The king smiled as he saw the amazing powers. It was no longer about dominance. It was curiosity and a warrior's delight to fight!

BOOM!

The martial avatar swung its sword and clashed with the Shield of Steele.
