Ascension of the Nephilim



The Fortress of the Nephilim was now damaged in many locations.

Sections of the walls had fallen, and nearly a hundred of the men that had been recruited died against the hordes of alien invaders.

A grand formation stood beyond them as the wounded Crowns of the meteor gathered to create a Magic Fortress.

It stood in opposition to the Nephilim Fortress and was powered by a formation using Cardinals and Crowns.

The people that arrived within the first two meteors had fallen and died, but they laid the foundation for the other meteors that arrived.

The tide of the battle was turning as the last of the meteors arrived and was not blown to bits by the Nephilim Fortress's Holy Beam attack.

The armies of the aliens also created a barrier that kept the Unholy energy at bay and formed ranks of war. Though they did not charge recklessly, they continued to harass and shoot their attacks at the Nephilim Sealing Fortress.

Many Siege cultivators quickly took their positions.

The battle was now between two fortresses trying to outgun and destroy the shields of each other.

The Fortress was quickly using up a lot of the resources they stored. The healing had been used numerous times.

Mezal had used the healing platform four times, and Demerus twice.

Many alien races could fly, and with their number, the Wings of the Nephilim had to retreat from their previous bombardment. The battle was a stalemate, and more meteors were falling down.

Daradiel was starting to get worried. Two more meteors approached!

BOOM!

"AHHH!" Mezal crashed and landed in the Fortress. Mezal was at the front lines, and his shield was blocking the attacks of powerful foes. He was the only one capable of moving out of the Fortress and would attack using his meteor ability to crash into the enemy fortress, acting as a human siege weapon.

But now, a Crown had regained much of his strength and sent a counterattack. Had it not been for the shamanic powers, Mezal would have died.

"...Hahaha! Thank you, my wife."

Esther appeared next to her.

"I only saved you because death will be an easy escape!" Esther cursed.

"You and Demerus don't seem too worried. I can't see a way we could win this. Another star will fall soon. And there is yet another, who has numerous Crowns!" Daradiel spoke.

"Are you sure that we can beat them? Are you sure we can survive this?"

"Oh, we are. Daradiel. We've fought Destiny more times than you have. We know how to outsmart it. Right now, you are just a big gun that the Nephilim can fire, and your Fate is bound with us. The key to winning Destiny is to always have an ace up your sleeve that you don't know you had!" Mezal laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"Like me?" Esther Steele asked.

"Of course, my love! My eternal rose! My sunshine!"

"Quit it. Don't think our little fight has been settled."

"Little fight?" Demerus quietly muttered. Mezal nearly died, and they had to use the healing of the Fortress to rescue him from death.

"Explain what my grandson is doing."

"Demerus had been in communication with the rest of the Nephilim and was assured that help was bound to arrive. But as for the specifics, we don't know. Still, Kyros knows that we need something that will help us with this. And from what I understand, his actions are now difficult for Destiny to perceive because of Mysterion. So even though the curses have returned and our mark of Destiny is stabilizing, Kyros can still help us, and he surely will."

"Help us? Against our enemies, we'd need the energy that an entire nation of men could produce! How will Kyros do that?" Daradiel asked.

"If I could receive a great source of Life energy, I'd be able to use the Unholy and create resurrected bodies of those enemies of ours who died. I can also bring back some of the fallen members of the Steele family. When I died, I had the Path of Foresight and was considered a Seer! To think that you would have Clairvoyants for your average members and you yourself are a Seer! Regardless, they are the ones who could greatly change the flow of the battle despite being weak. Some have died, but I can still use Unholy to resurrect them!"

"Of course. The Steele family's knights and champions are all Fate Challengers! Just wait, my love. Our grandson has tremendous ability. While most of us have risen in the Path of Foresight, Kyros now has reached the level of True Understanding. He would be A Messenger of Fate now. I'm sure that whatever he is planning will naturally cover our weaknesses. Who knows? Maybe a source of tremendous life energy will be sent here to the Fortress soon."

The Fortress has acquired Bountiful Life Ball.

Assimilate to recharge Fortress?

---

A notification suddenly appeared, and Mezal smiled.

"See! We now have a great amount of Life Energy!" Mezal chuckled.

Esther saw the notification and was amazed.

"H-how?!"

"I told you. He is a Messenger of Fate. You and I are at the peak of the Path of Foresight. But Kyros should be in the True Understanding realm. Right now, he is no longer just a Fate Challenger. He is a Fate Overcomer!" Mezal laughed.

"Then this is our chance! Demerus! Is there a way to change the formation to make me the center of the Energy formation circle? I will use the Fortress's power to revive the fallen!"

"Of course. Shifting Energy Formation Circle!"

"Make Greater God Daradiel the second minor circle! Husband! Use your shaman power and become the last circle! We will be calling the dead and restoring them through Unholy! This Bountiful Life Ball is a horrific item! Whoever made it committed countless crimes. I can feel the souls of babies inside of it! Now their souls will be freed to rest, and the flesh will be used to cause the return of your companions!" Esther shouted, and the formation appeared under her.

The power that was summoned suddenly created a strange Crown. It was a Crown of Thorns and blood.

"Fate has spoken! Fate has decreed! From the bruised steel that is hammered and struck shall be metal that will not bend and break! A sword will rise from the steel! A shield will form from it! To equip the Nephilim and to be its weapon! Many shall arise to fight the Nephilim! And Fate has slain many and killed so much that they may escape Destiny! But now, the time to arise has come! Arise of sleeper and let the light of Soter fall on you! You who fell to be hidden, arise and be seen! Arise and fight! For the battle of End approaches! These are the words of Fate! And let the power that Fate kept awaken! Fated to Die! Fated to Rise!"

The flesh ball trembled as the chant of the Word of Power that Fate herself had stored inside Esther.

Mezal heard it and marveled.

"So that's why you died...!" Mezal realized the mysterious death of his wife.

But now, it gave clarity.

Those that died long ago, and those that died just recently, the souls began to return.

Flesh came alive, for the power of Fate aided in their resurrection.

"[Prooridzo: Anistemy]!"

The power surged out, and the entire universe felt it.

A power of Fate had erupted.

Bow sensed the power.

"...Full speed ahead." She drew her bow and began to attack.

With the power of the two Ancient Gods next to her, Bow could hear and see the Gods and Fallen all over the universe. And she began to shoot her attacks that would fly with speed, power, and devastating accuracy.

The Ancient Gods were moving to war!
