Ascension of the Nephilim

The blood of Gojjirah had a brighter shade of red. It wasn't polluted by the dirt but remained an untainted blood drop. But more and more of this brighter blood began to grow. The blood of Champion Tail 1 was boiling as it was getting mixed with the Gojirrah's blood. Soon, the blood was being visibly absorbed by the blood of Gojirrah.

Commander Longneck looked in amazement. It was as if Gojirrah's blood was alive as it was moving.

Despite the unique powers that the lizard bloodline held, no blood could easily devour or eat up another blood. It didn't make sense how the blood drop was slowly eating and absorbing the blood of the Champion Tail 1.

Even Gojirrah was amazed! He never knew his blood could do that.

"Surprised?" Kyros chuckled as he conversed with Gojirrah telepathically.

"You are a vampire with a powerful lineage. My blood isn't just some ordinary blood. Right now, I'm using my power to make it move. It's all thanks to the powers of the Fanged and Charmed Fallen. Even high-ranking vampires can't pull that off. Regardless of how strong or powerful your world is, that scene will definitely spark curiosity. So follow my words, Gojirrah! For my words are gold and wisdom!" Kyros explained.

And spark curiosity it did.

The words of Gojirrah and his claims of acquiring dragon blood, with the unexplainable scene of his drop of blood devouring spilled blood.

"Absorb that blood now. And drink some of the blood from the champion too. About a quarter of his blood will do." Kyros ordered.

The sword that Gojirrah had used to stab and pin the tail was not a normal sword, but it was his Blood Sword. Instead of creating a sword, he used his sword as a base and crafted it according to Kyros's orders. As a result, Gojirrah secretly siphoned the Champion's blood.

To the eyes of the onlookers, they thought that the blood spilled was 'moving' into the Champion's body!

"What's happening?!" Even the Lizard Commander was alarmed. 

"What did you do?!" One of the nearby captains charged and angrily questioned Gojirrah and charged towards him and Champion Tail 1. 

"Kill him. Stab him with your Blood Weapon." Kyros ordered.

Gojirrah instantly followed for Kyros's words are gold and wisdom.

The sword stabbed in the Champion's tail was immediately removed, and Gojirrah stabbed it without hesitation.

STAB!

The sword stabbed deep into the body of the lizard Captain, who was so shocked at Gojirrah's sudden attack. It was one thing to incapacitate another lizard, but this was murder!

"Look at that captain with great disgust and follow what Champion Tail 1 said about you. Throw in the word 'newt' for fun, too." 

Gojirrah's expression suddenly turned into a cruel smile. He had always been mocked and looked down upon in this place. Even the Captains called him a disgrace and a cheat.

"Stay where you are, newt! I wish not to dirty my body with your lineage." Gojirrah ordered coldly. Gojirrah was trying his best to hide the exhilarating emotion of finally extracting his long-withheld anger to these captains.

"Now feed him some of your blood and absorb all of his blood through your Blood Weapon." Kyros ordered.

"Y-you dare! Y-you exile! You will... die a cruel- ack!" 

Gojirrah choked the lizard captain.

"You haven't understood yet? My bloodline is a dragon. Here, I will show you the cruel difference between us. My blood is poison to you! Drink and die!" Gojirrah choked the man, and his tail swiped some of the blood from the wound he created. The tip of his tail had some small droplets of blood in it, and Gojirrah dropped it to the open mouth of the captain.

After a few seconds, Gojirrah activated the absorbing power of his sword. The captain began to screech in pain at the ravaging sensation inside his body.

"N-no! Mercy! Save me, champions!" The lizard cried for help, but the Champions stood without doing anything.

Once more, Gojirrah had proven his worth and his bloodline. Not many were willing to attack him with the strange powers he possessed. And it was clear that there was more to the story.

"I hope this proves my claims. This Tail 1 had deals made with the humans who found a dragon egg."

"A dragon egg?!" The nearby champions exclaimed.

"Commander... Shall I tell everyone here the reason why this place is of great importance here? Or will you accommodate my friend here and me?" Gojirrah asked as he pointed to the young man being carried on his shoulder."

"You have no proof of Tail 1's traitorous acts! I would even claim that you are the traitor! You are simply framing Tail 1!" The commander approached and drew his sword as his power erupted out.

But Gojirrah stood his ground. He was not in any way afraid of this man and completely trusted that the instructions of Kyros would resolve whatever circumstance he was in. Gojirrah was now clinging to Kyros claims. 

"For his words are gold and wisdom." So Gojirrah reminded himself and listened to Kyros, who was now telling him what to say.

And so, Gojirrah began his rebuttal.

"Why did I go here to show you all this?! If I am the traitor, why would I inform you? Yet here I am telling you of the appearance of the most sought-after blood line! That Tail 1 hid it! I am revealing it because I am not a traitor! And I'll prove to you how traitorous that bastard is! You have seen and witnessed the appearance of humans with the Golems, correct? How did those humans get there? In the middle of our kingdom, how have those humans reached the mountain cave of the Golem City? At first, these humans raid and kill all the lizard races we placed inside the mountain, and then when I finally made my move, they showed up with an army of Champions! Where did these humans come from?"

The Commander could not answer. The Champion was right. The Golem City was inside a mountain at the very center of the Lizard Kingdoms in this realm. And that mountain was so large that the lizardkin positioned various lizardmen tribes and lizard races in the mountain paths and on the exit of the mountain.

They had explored the region and confirmed that there were no other entry points into that mountain.

"The only way is to send humans inside is if there is another portal near the golem mountain! And that portal leads to another world where there are humans! But how can that happen, you ask? We have lizards watching guard all over the region, and the fluctuations would be noticed! Simple! They just need a traitor among the lizardmen! And that lizard has to be someone who commands respect and authority along with multiple lizard tribes! I can't do that since I am an exile! But someone has been accommodating the entry of these incoming humans and kept it a secret from us!"

The eyes of the commander darkened.

"A new portal?!"

"I have seen it! I was kept there and was a prisoner among them! I heard of the plans. And Commander, I now know what you seek here. Do I have to say it? How could I have known all this if I was not in the belly of the enemy listening to their claims! The dragon blood was the gift that these humans prepared for Tail 1! And this Champion had long been so focused on his lineage. He wanted to be lord over us all! And so he agreed! That Golem City has what you seek! That large orb is indeed what you think it is! It's not just a core. It's a heart!"

The Commander trembled. One of their theories was that the Golem city was powered by a powerful core of a powerful being. But now, it was all coming together. The humans had found dragon blood. And that core was also a heart! So it only means that the mysterious core that powered and created the feared Golem King Petra was a dragon's heart!

The sight of how Gojirrah's blood, which was once one of the weakest bloodlines within the Champion ranks, could devour and kill another just by exposing his blood to another added more proof to the near-impossible claims!

The Commander slowly believed the claims. But as for the Champions, they had already believed Gojirrah. Not because of facts and logic, but because of greed and ambition. They wanted to believe because they wanted the dragon's blood to exists!

"Meet me in my chambers. All Champions must be in attendance. That human you carry will be my slave. Is that arrangement alright?" Commander Longneck asked.

Gojirrah felt a strange sense of anger. His lord was clearly a being of unimaginable power. 

"This little newt dares to make Lord Kyros his slave?!" Gojirrah raged in his thoughts. How could such a pitiful creature dare to make Kyros, whose words are gold and wisdom?

"A slave? Commander, you will regret doing that! This human is the reason why I escaped! He is a genius! Unless you are willing to turn an alchemy grandmaster who can make Paralyzing Gas Bombs into a simple slave, then so be it!"

"Paralyzing Gas Bombs?!" The Champions all cried in surprise. 

"What did you say?! This boy can make Paralyzing Gas Bombs?!"

"How did I escape if not with that? Even those humans couldn't resist it. Too bad those golems were immune to it. But through that, I was able to escape. Sadly, this boy inhaled some and is unconscious."

"How did he make a Paralyzing Gas Bombs?!" The Commander demanded.

"I farted, duh." Kyros laughed sarcastically at how stupid the question was. Making a Paralyzing Gas Bomb was something difficult to make! Even if Kyros went over the steps in front of them, it wouldn't make any sense to them! And this Commander was asking how to make such bombs as if it was as easy as making breakfast! And so, Kyros was unable to contain his snide comment and spoke telepathically to Gojirrah. He couldn't resist but speak the punchline.

"He farted, duh!" Gojirrah relayed Kyros's words thinking it was another of the words he was supposed to relay. He spoke, imitating the same level of sarcasm in Kyros's tone, and even looked at the Commander as if the Commander spoke a most idiotic question.

"PFT!" The Champion Princess couldn't help but laugh.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! YOU DARE MOCK MY INTELLIGENCE?!" The Commander raged.

Kyros was shocked and panicked.

"YOU IDIOT!" Kyros shouted in anger at Gojirrah. A split second after he said that, Kyros realized his mistake.

"YOU IDIOT!" Gojirrah shouted at the Commander without fear, for his lord had said it. And Kyros's words were gold and wisdom.

"MOTHER FRAGMENT!" Kyros cursed again in frustration.

"MOTHER FRAGMENT!" Gojirrah insulted the Commander.
