Ascension of the Nephilim

Deep in the heart of the Gigantes...

"NO! THAT COIN WAS REACHING SILVER LEVEL!"

The angry roar of the Fallen Spawn was heard as he sensed the disappearance of the Coin.

All the power that this Coin had, all the flesh that would have instantly dissipated and returned to him vanished.

The Fallen Spawn had seen what killed the coin.

It was a Paladin! A Paladin combined forces with the wretched Krysta and other Cardinal survivors.

"First an angel, but now a powerful Paladin is actually among those who traveled here?! I was too arrogant! The Midland kingdoms could produce genius cultivators like that. I never thought that there would be one here! I cannot wait! I must create more Silver and turn this body into Gold if I want to be able to kill that angel! Bragot! Go and kill those who killed Rassk! I will command Melek and Vord to assist you! A Silver and two Coins ought to be more than enough to deal with those mortals!"

"As you command, my lord! I will surely return with good news!" A large flying creature that mixed the features of an eagle and a pig answered.

He brought his numerous flying beasts with him. A massive mountain-size round creature with tentacles and horns all over it also followed. It was the Greed Hive beasts and it carried an army with it!

As the creatures moved, the Fallen Spawn transformed into a body that was similar to a Grendelor.

It had a large tail, but its body was bulky and had numerous thorns around him. A cracked crown of bones sat on its large head, as numerous horns surrounded his devilish form.

He approached a large crystal that contained the preserved bodies of numerous powerful cultivators he had gathered in the few times that the place had opened.

"In these few hundreds of years, none but the family of the Saint Swords has ever forced me to fight seriously. But now, with their power, I shall be able to fight an Angel! And when I kill it, I will be... the Undivine!" The Fallen Spawn approached four crystals that held onto four humans.

"These four crystals will become my Elemental Core! Fight fire with fire, resist holy with holy! Now I shall be a beast of great darkness, but will have great resistance to light! Perhaps the angel coming here is my trial sent by Destiny! If I succeed, I'll be his Challenger!" The Fallen Spawn used his devouring powers and began to assimilate with the four crystals that would use these individuals as living Elemental Cores.

As he began to assimilate the power, the team of Nightwing had finally found their way and found a strange fleshy creature that formed the shape of a tower. At the top of the tower, was a strange, chimney-like hole and a strange dark mist was being released and spread across the misty, green sky above the Swamplands.

"This is it... The transmitters of thoughts that link it to the Greedlings..." Nightwing pointed at the strange object.

Behind him was the team of Cardinals that followed Nightwing.

In the hours that passed, the group had managed to explore the region and managed easily kill the many enemies that attempted to hunt him.

Nightwing was the leader of the group. While Nightwing stood with the powers that were only at the peak level of Commander, he was still considered to be the strongest among them all.

"Paladin. We just have to destroy this?" The Golem Cardinal asked.

"If only it were that simple," Nightwing observed the strange fleshy tower that took root on the ground.

"Is there a problem?" The bee Cardinal asked.

"Yes. This tower is not just a structure that was erected here. It was grown here."

"Grown?" Angelian asked.

"Yes. My dear allies, I've already explained to you, that what we face guarding the incredible legacy that could help us control this Gigantes, is a minion of Mammon." Nightwing began.

Both Angelian and Krysta had conflicted expressions but kept their opinions to themselves and allowed Nightwing to lie.

"Through its magic, the world inside seems several hundreds of times larger. Nevertheless, this is still the inside of this creature. This swampland is the creature's intestines and stomach. And Mammon used its parasitic powers to merge with the intestines of these beasts to create these objects. It grew and while the forces of Mammon have lost control of this building, its purpose in creating the dark mists still functions. The problem is that killing it... will attract the Antibodies. You've seen them before, haven't you? A while back, I saw an Angel breach this place and it attracted those Antibodies."

"Antibodies? Those peak Cardinal creatures that we've seen flying around?!"

"Yes. They didn't attack you, since you were not a threat to the body of the Gigantes. It's looking for the angel I mentioned. And from what I saw, there were even Crowns among them."

"If we destroy this... we get attacked and massacred by those Antibodies! So what do we do?!" Krysta asked.

"Simple. We make these Antibodies jump to wild conclusions." Nightwing had a nasty grin on his face.

"I'll need everybody's help. All those with powers that contain tremendous magic energy or light energy should give them to me now. I have an idea that will help us destroy this and kill more of the Coins and Silver of Mammon." Nightwing smiled.

Several minutes later...

Two Coins were racing towards the deeper parts of the Swamp Lands. It traveled underground and even swam through the acid swamps as they were summoned to attack the survivors.

"I can't believe that bat died!" A Coin cursed.

"To think that two Coins and a Silver are being summoned! And those survivors are very organized! Even with four armies, they can survive!"

"There is a strange power at work there! I don't understand how that Hive queen can create endless spiders just like us! We might need Bragot's help to deal with those Cardinals we faced! And they were very organized! They knew what to do and how to fight us!"

"Let's hurry!"

BOOM!

A strong tremor occurred and the pained cry of the Gigantes echoed all over the land.

Suddenly, a tremendous boom occurred as a powerful blast of holy energy shot out into the sky.

"Holy energy?! It's that angel! He's attacking the Dark Mist Source!"

"We can't let that angel destroy it! Let's go! That angel will be attacked by the Antibodies and if it dies and if we can snatch it away from the antibodies, we would become all the stronger!"

The two Coins began to tunnel their way through the ground and hastily moved toward the location where they sensed the pillar of light.

The Silver of Mammon also did the same thing and flew towards the direction of the majestic pillar.

Several angry howls were heard from different directions as the Antibodies were summoned thinking that the Angel had appeared.

But the antibodies were faster as they zoomed through the sky with great speed and reached the area where a large wound was inflicted on the high heavens. It was as if there was a strange hole in the green skies above and darkness was seeping out. It was night in the Planesworld, and its darkness had seeped inside.

It was a power of a Crown!

The antibodies arrived in their anger and found no angel.

What they did find, was a giant half-bat, half-pig-like creature on the ground and it suddenly raised its strange mouth and lunged its body towards the fleshy tower.

SLASH!

A powerful dividing energy full of Force energy shot out of the mouth of the giant beasts and the energy slashed down and halved the tower in two.

The fleshy tower was not as strong as the walls of the Gigantes and it easily crumbled. The Gigantes felt pain at the attack.

The Antibodies shouted in anger as they prepared to launch their attacks.

FLASH!

Suddenly, the entire creature vanished!

The Antibodies grew angry and then... it sensed the arrival of three creatures.

The two Coins and the Silver arrived just in time.

Two popped out of the ground while the other circled from afar.

The Antibodies saw the three.

"Creatures of Mammon! You dare attack our master?!"

"Huh?" The large flying Silver of Mammon voiced out in confusion as it saw two Antibodies releasing Crown-level power rush towards him and his massive army.
