Ascension of the Nephilim

The Emberdons made their preparations for their departure.

Demerus, Triona, and Ressi would use their powers to take away their human form and release their skeleton form. But the power and potency that they have would make them appear as a Lich! This would give them easy access to becoming part of the army.

"So we spy on them, learn the arts of necromancy and steal whatever we can from them! The more things we take from Destiny, the more advantageous it is for us!" Demerus reminded.

"Is there a timeframe for our plans?" Triona asked.

Demerus turned to Mezal who was also instructing Faye and Stellya, who would be left to be in control of the Fortress.

"Timeframe? We have to quickly become a kingdom that can conquer continents! And with Kyros's timeline, we only have about a year to accomplish that!"

"So it has to be that much if we want to surprise End... A year is very short. We don't have the people and the resources."

"This is the way we defeat End! It still plays along with how we have always fought. We get pitted against tremendous odds, and we are forced to conquer through it! So we have a year. But knowing my grandson, he's bound to do something crazy. So I adjusted his timetable. We need to become great in six months!"

"That means I'd have to steal at least half of the army of the Eldrich... I have to also learn what powers lie in the Undying Lands so I can build an undead army for Kyros..." Demerus thought.

"Yes. Use their greed and wickedness against them. We know what they want in Planesworld. Because Kyros managed to ask Breveros, we know that they are looking for God Born and Fallen-Spawns. These are half-breeds that are part of the heretic beings that once lived in the Planesworld when the tree was planted. We also know that their greatest legacy, the very source of their power, is the dragon Tiamat! And his corpse is somewhere in the Low Lands! This information should only be known to the top Eldrich. Even the undead and Dark Dependent that allied with them do not know this. And so, we can seduce them with our information."

"I see. I claim to know this secret and gather our team. It will also be a good position for me to explore the worlds of the Eldrich!"

"Yes. And for proof, we do have Puff. And you have perfected the summoning mark of Puff, correct?"

"Yes. It allows us to call him out as long as we are here in Middle."

Puff had a Thane Dragon's form and stood on his feet. Because bringing him up to the world would expose him to the Eldrich who is actively looking for a dragon's legacy. And since it would do him no good to hide all day in the spatial realm that Martha can summon, it was decided that he would stay in the Middle.

He sighed and had a bored expression. He wanted to rage havoc outside, but his lineage was simply too sensitive to reveal.

"When we finally make known the great kingdom of the Nephilim, End will begin to target us with forces that we cannot imagine! But if we rapidly develop and appear, those forces may try to attack us. We wage war and become another aspect of Mysterion! We will hide our real weapon! While we build a Kingdom worthy of conquering continents and distract End, Kyros will become a man capable of conquering gods and fallen!" Mezal smiled.

As Mezal and the Emberdons made their preparations, a carriage was headed toward the human kingdoms. There were numerous caravans and carriages, and platoons of soldiers marching along the path as an exodus had happened.

The battle of the Crown caused many nearby kingdoms to retreat back home and abandoned many of the front lines. Dark water was seen in the swamplands along with what appeared to be a desert! Many feared that the missing Princess had begun to fight and kill her enemies as they linked the dark water to the Grendelor race and the sand powers to those belonging to the Highlands.

But even as the powerful battle took place, the Midlands and the Highlands did nothing and it was as if they ignored the battle that broke numerous rules!

And so, the people who once felt safe with the garrisons and on the outskirts of every kingdom were moving back to their homes.

If their villages would be caught in the battle of Crowns, they would all die.

But one caravan in the midst of the place was drawing strange attention and allure.

Many people would pass and could not help but be curious as to what was inside. But everyone felt that something beautiful and amazing would be inside!

Avary quietly looked around as he kept guard outside and continued to command the horses to move. Finally, a group of nobles dared to approach the carriage. It belonged to the most reputed Viscount in the entire march.

"Young swordsman. Which esteemed guest is seated inside this carriage?" A tall, muscular, viscount asked. The exodus forced many nobles to abandon their lands and flee to the kingdom.

And the viscount that moved towards them to inquire. He could see that the carriage had exquisite designs and from it, he knew that the person riding inside would be a woman. The horses that were used to pull the carriage were all powerful horses that only captains would command!

Avary looked at the man and analyzed his nobility.

"Milady... It's a Viscount." Avary communicated with the Dark Link.

"Send him in..." The response was sent back.

Avary sighed.

"If Lord Viscount wishes, then he may enter the carriage. Milady will welcome you. But... the carriage is quite small and only one person may come in." Avary answered.

"Oh? May I know the name of this lady?" The viscount asked.

TAP! TAP!

At that moment, a tap was heard and the viscount turned his attention to the source of the sound.

And outside, was a white, pinkish hand of such tenderness and beauty that tapped on its sides to draw attention.

"I am sorry, Lord Viscount. But I am not someone of this lands but simply visited. May I ask my lord to come in for a talk?" The voice of such alluring power was heard.

The sound of her voice alone caused those who heard it to freeze and they couldn't even breathe for a few seconds. It was just the arm, but terrifying anticipation and lust surged onto them.

"Ye-yes! If the lady wishes!" The man quickly answered.

"What? Husband! Where are you-?!" But the woman among the escort of the man was no longer heard as the viscount had quickly jumped in as the door of the carriage opened.

The silhouette of the woman could be seen as curtains draped the sides and all the men who saw it were exploding with lust.

"Everyone... I wish to talk to this esteemed lady privately." The viscount declared.

The wife of the viscount felt a deadly premonition as the doors closed. She knew her husband would leave that carriage changed.

"Stop! Young swordsman! Call out your master!" The woman cried out as she approached.

"Stop. Do not approach. The invited guests may enter, but anyone else will have to maintain their distance." Avary answered as he drew his sword.

CRACK! CRACK CRACK!

The ground began to crack and some of those who were up close felt a stinging sensation from the raw force energy of Avary.

The Codes and Blessings that Avary released when he drew out the sword had was immense. The power of a divergent True Cut made possible by his connection to the Coven was felt. The power of a Champion rippled out.

Everyone stopped as they sensed the tremendous power and marveled that a young man had the might of a Champion.

The escorts of the Viscounts were shocked and began to move back.
