Ascension of the Nephilim

Breveros stood over the highest peak of the kingdom.

It had been an annoying restructuring and power-grabbing due to the unforeseen events after the raid on a mysterious castle. Commander Tyrs leaked numerous plots that changed alliances and made everyone fight each other.

The revelations and uncovering of many plots centered in one kingdom created an upheaval. Many groups were fleeing or fighting as numerous others secrets were revealed one after the other.

But more things followed.

Luigi had his team move out. Tyrs and Dario, the two persons of Fate the survived the massacre in the castle, did the bidding of Luigi and utilized the memories of the three batches of Commanders that were sent inside.

Luigi twisted the facts based on the memories of many and released rumors that painted certain personas in a bad light by tying secrets from the memories of the dead. Some were true as they involved murder, while the others were clever, twisting the truth to make the good appear as the bad.

Meister Strongholgen and Emperor Assassin were also sent out to kidnap and interrogate key individuals revealed in the memories of Menks. And they slowly unveiled more secrets.

Because of this rising chaos, the Eldrich were slowly losing their grasp in many key cities and kingdoms.

In the chaos of these events, everyone began to flee as their secrets were being made known.

This also caused several powerful Cardinals to disappear mysteriously.

In a large city with four massive towers looking over the city, Breveros stood on one of the peaks of the tower and glanced at the city.

"Not a bad view. To think I would easily become the leader of this city... That Incubus has left quite a troublesome path for us..." Breveros sighed.

"I wonder what my little Incubus friend has done in the Black Bog Kingdom?" Breveros wondered.

He glanced afar and couldn't help but feel excited in anticipation of the coming battle.

"My prince..." Several hooded figures arrived and bowed behind Breveros.

"Report."

"The chaos has subsided in most cities that we control. As you have suggested, we discarded many territories In the past weeks since the revelations. The collapse has made many desperate, as you have envisioned, and has now moved to the several cities we control. An army is imminent."

"Good... What of the backup from my brother, the King?"

"Eldrich Emperor Bolerax Hiwind has sent several Demonkin of power to combat the pure Incubus. Cambions who have descended from Incubus and Sucubus-kin."

"To fight fire with fire, and demonkin with demonkin... I'm unsure whether I should be happy for my dear brother's support or be disappointed that he thinks I couldn't get the job done." Breveros sighed.

"What about the missing Cardinals?"

"We've lost track of them. When the revelations of that Necromancer, Menks, came to light, many who were not revealed disappeared off the grid. They were probably afraid of being revealed."

"It's more than that. Looking at our intel, it made no sense that their allegiance was not revealed... In short... they were spared and given a chance to side with them. A cunning call. The threat of death and darkness that beckons them to hide." Breveros smiled.

"Where would they be?"

"Where else? The Black Bog Kingdom. What reports do we have?"

"It's been more than three weeks since Cracky Batcheeks moved in there, and the mist around the lands had grown thicker. Reports of Cardinal and Crown level creatures have emerged. Our spies within the land also report a sudden loss of power. Numerous powerful cultivators up to Cardinals outside and inside the region have vanished without a trace. The Golem Cardinal was among them."

"The Golem Cardinal? Well, that's one assassination off our list. Cracky Batcheeks sure is busy. This means we have no time to waste. Call the forces, and we have to begin our mission! We march, infiltrate the Black Bog Kingdom, and search and kill Cracky Batcheeks!"

But Cracky Batcheeks was no longer within the Black Bog Kingdom.

They were moving within a thick forest in the northern hemisphere of the Uninvolved lands. The forest had large thick trees, and some trees were as tall as hills that covered the entire place.

But even in the dense and wide forest with monsters and beasts of high cultivation, Nightwing and the team walked fearlessly and were confident they wouldn't lose direction.

Nightwing was traveling with her team of ladies, a young boy, and a new companion. He was a tall, burly man with stone-like skin.

"You're allies are beyond this thick forest? We've killed many beasts along the way and even found several bandits." The burly man spoke as he walked.

"Relax! You might use your lifespan to move, but I can give you death energy." Nightwing sighed.

"Master Nightwing. Creatures like Gigantes are very concerned with their death energy. They are like Golems. This one wants to conserve as much death energy as possible to remain functioning." Sherah explained.

"I know. It's just that I need a bit more trust. I'm just waiting for us to get to the mansion so that I can use my powers in sealed energy. The Eldrich is after me." Nightwing added.

After numerous preparations inside Bomos, Nightwing had left the Black Bog Kingdom and had been traveling again. One Gigantes was taken among the sons of Bomos. But to constantly hide it, Nightwing used the sage wisdom of one of the sci-fi movies he knew of.

A certain robot had fooled a time-traveling device by wearing layers of flesh above it. And with the many flesh of Bar-Mamon, Nightwing crafted a flesh suit for the Gigantes and coated it with Mysterion and Oblivion.

The result was the Gigantes that Nightwing named Arnold.

With Arnold by their side, Nightwing was able to communicate with Bomos.

Bomos had wreaked havoc in the lands, sent the Antibodies to attack numerous groups, and began killing many spies of the Eldrich that Nightwing had figured out based on the memories of everyone that Nightwing devoured.

The group had been marching for days in the forest and found numerous Cardinal groups.

The more they found, the happier Nightwing was and was content with the army of betrayed traitors gathered within the lands.

A large camp was found, and numerous humans, elves, and some demi-humans were standing guard. But against the power of Mysterion and the darkness below the trees, the group moved in quietly.

Krysta saw the men and frowned. She could sense the blood and death the men had caused as her power grew.

"To think that these people won't die..." She complained.

Angelian was silent. Though it had been weeks, and while she now could talk with Nightwing, there still remained the guilt of her failures in saving any of those who Nightwing killed and devoured.

"They have a Fate worse than those who will die. I have to gather all of them and form an army. These traitors sold out their country and allies and broke vows. But now, they are found out, and the people who sold their country and allies have betrayed them. These betrayed traitors will make up my Army of Destiny. An army that is doomed to die. They are whetting stones to sharpen the blades of my other allies. Of course, I hope to use this to break free from the controls of those two women. That way, I can have you, girls, for my harem." Nightwing laughed.

"Don't include me, demon." Krysta cursed.

"You have not done well with your promise to resurrect my family!"

"I already told you... I need more things. Luigi is a Time Slime of great power. Reginald wields numerous elements. I need both if I want to perform [Resurrection]." Nightwing explained again.

"Lies!"

"Sister... Let's just follow. Nightwing has already avenged our family, and we have seen our family's and loved ones' souls. [Resurrection] is not an easy spell and will surely cost great magic for Nightwing."

"Indeed. I had to reserve a lot of that Sacrifice for those loyal men who died for our sake." Nightwing chuckled.

"You demon! My parents would not want to-"

"Your parents won't want their legacies to be lost. They will gain power. Be thankful that those bodies were preserved since Bar-Mammon wanted to show proof to Destiny for his services. Of course, I already knew this, which was why I used [Resurrection] to tempt you." Nightwing smiled.

The group moved and moved deep into the forest.

"We're here," Nightwing spoke.

"Here? Where?" Monica asked. All around them was grass and trees with no mansion in sight.

Angelian turned and pointed straight ahead.

"It's a time/space illusion spell. Luigi's mansion is just right ahead. We just need the door to open." Angelian explained.

"Ah... Little Angelian has started to develop that dragonic scent! Master... You must have quite a haul in your little trip." A slime suddenly appeared in thin air.

"And these must be the two girls for your harem. Your taste is getting even more exotic, master." Luigi noticed the beautiful, monstrous spider with very seductive traits.

"A Hive Queen. Where's your army?"

"Let's talk inside, Luigi. We better not keep our guests waiting." Nightwing waved his hands, and a powerful light began to shine behind Luigi.

With a flash of light, everyone vanished.

The light and energy were so strong that they called out to those searching and waiting for Luigi's mansion to appear.

In the fading light, numerous Cardinals were already standing at the entrance.

All were searching for means to enter the mansion that had appeared and vanished over the past weeks.
