Ascension of the Nephilim

The Dwarven Cardinal and the Mage Commander nearly shouted in fright as the voice spoke.

However, the Crown smiled as he saw the slime.

"How impressive. I never thought that the lord of the mansion would be a slime creature of surpassingly powerful time/space elements.

"Oh. You misunderstand. My master allowed me to name the mansion. But I am not the lord. I am but a servant.

Luigi vanished and appeared on the ground again.

Everyone marveled at how such powerful teleportation would spark no fluctuation or even the slightest ripple of energy.

"You are quite amazing, my little friend. And that speaks miles for your master."

"Oh, you have no idea." Luigi chuckled.

"The master now bids his entrance. Just as Crown Birdy here said..."

Everyone was stifled by the vulgar words of the slime. He called an exalted Crown a Birdy!

But Ikarod did not even show the slightest expression but smiled.

"Master went on a little trip to ensure you could gather here safely. He went on a rampage in the Black Bog Kingdoms and awakened numerous sleeping heritage."

"Sleeping heritage? May this humble one ask what heritages there were? I lived in the Black Bog Kingdom for many decades. I have not heard of such a case." A Cardinal with the figure and form of a humanoid grasshopper respectfully asked.

The space trembled, and a corpse of unknown beasts was brought out.

It was like a large dog with many spines and stingers around its body.

"This is a Greedling. Sleeping in the Block Bog Kingdom was the son of a Fallen Phaulos. Mammon of the Foul Fallens has an illegitimate son. Bar-Mammon. He was using that place as a hideout."

Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of the strange beasts.

The Cardinals could tell that there was a strange power inside the beasts.

"Anyway... I am ordered to prove that this is real to you... Honestly, I don't think people with my master's strength have to prove anything... But I guess if you guys are looking for a good backer, then I need to show off a bit. "

Suddenly, a projection of a grand image was revealed over the skies above.

The image was so realistic.

"You like it? It's rendered in Unreal Engine." Luigi bragged.

But no one cared for Luigi's side comments.

The watchers saw the numerous ships that dove deep into a large mouth. Then, the vision changed, and the battlefield was shown where the surviving groups fought against an army of the very beast that was revealed.

"I hope some of you know or can comprehend what that scene was. With many Crowns here... you should be able to tell me what." Luigi spoke again.

"I know those groups... My time in the Black Bog Kingdom and the nearby regions made me familiar with them... Why are they all there?"

"That... mouth!? Are you telling me that your master went in that mouth and came alive?!" A voice was heard.

The massive club of Cardinal Barakan Doragan moved! It transformed from a weapon to a humanoid-shaped giant.

"Living Crown Golem, Grandite Doragan. You actually moved." Ikarod smiled.

Everyone was shocked as the entire cyclops, and giant race bowed.

"What event is this thing that master Slime speaks?"

"I don't know the event. But that creature. That cave. I know. I sensed its presence but thought it was dead. Yet my kind would dare not desecrate the fallen. That was a Gigantes."

"A Gigantes? I heard of those creatures of legends!"

"And from its features, it seemed to be alive. It seems that the master of this castle is quite powerful. It's enough to make me move. Surely, he has a Gigantes legacy?"

"...Actually, we have a Gigantes serving him right now. Care to see?" Luigi laughed, and a massive door appeared behind Luigi.

The doors were so tall that they could easily fit two giants passing through. Finally, and slowly, the doors gave way and revealed the grand hall inside.

A strange power was leaking outside. The power of terrifying holiness had amazed everyone.

"What is that...?!" One of the Cardinals who kept a low profile could not help but exclaim.

"Holy. But I guess those who have set off to become necromancers like you would be affected by it." Luigi hoped and hoped towards the inside of the mansion.

"Are you guys coming?" Luigi asked as he kept his cute little hops inside the mansion.

Before anyone could process the revelation of a necromancer, a flash of light called out to everyone.

The divine light was intimidating, but numerous blood and the bodies of many Greedlings were around.

"That spell...! What kind of spell is this?! It's using all elements!" Ikarod exclaimed.

"Oh. Master is trying to resurrect the parents of an ally."

"Resurrect?! But why is he gathering so much light energy?! And how?! Wasn't this lord a vampire?!"

"Follow me and find out." Luigi chuckled.

Everyone began to follow Luigi into the mansion.

At the center of the hall was a bright pillar of light. And inside the morning was a figure of a man.

"Is that... Nightwing? Is he using... Holy element?"

Everyone began to spread out and was still cautious. It was then that they noticed everything in their surroundings.

The grand hall revealed intricate designs and frightening paintings that contained dark energy.

"Ghosts?!" The Mage Commander shouted.

"Worse! He is cultivating wraiths! Those paintings hold a strange power!"

"Look at those engravings! What kind of energy formation circle is that?! It's using blood as the transference of energy!"

"Over there! That's a Hydra!"

"But aren't they extinct?!"

Everyone began to point and gawk at the numerous terrifying things when they noticed the surroundings.

Golem Grandite had his eyes fixed on the large burly man.

The man smiled as he could see that the Golem could see through his disguise.

Ikarod was silenced at the beauty and grace of the winged woman that stood nearby.

"That... it's the daughter of Pyrekaiser Fafnir!" His shout alarmed many, and they glanced at the woman hovering nearby.

"Begin!" A voice suddenly spoke, and the pillar of light began to flicker. The whiteness of the pillar of light began to fade. It was as if the light became impure.

As everyone moved inside, they could sense the power.

"Unholy...! This is Unholy! The power that the first Undivine revealed!" Grandite exclaimed.

Everyone marveled at the mystery before them.

"Every Mystery must come to light. Everything hidden will be revealed." Nightwing began to speak as he revealed his form as the light died out.

At once, many women felt their hearts burn and tremble as they saw his form.

"Incubus!" The men were startled. Those who could lust saw the demon and his deathly tempting form.

Many felt a vast sense of insecurity, while others were awakened to desires they had not yet known.

"What...?! An incubus?!"

"Krysta. Christopher. It will be your heart that can call out to them. The power of Unholy can only draw them in. This process will also be useful for you. Your current form of neither life nor death will become Unholy. That way, you can wield the darkness and the light simultaneously. To create this [Resurrection] power requires you to have You have to teach them how to make your body. I have prepared the power of [Sacrifice] for you and your family."

"I understand." Krysta nodded.

Nightwing slapped his arm on the ground where a strange mark was written. It was the very center of the energy formation circle.

The magic circle was activated, and numerous pillars erupted.

On the side were several large crystals with what appeared to be a man and woman inside!

The Hydra released its power, and numerous elements began to shoot out toward Nightwing.

"Time for me to show off as well."

Luigi vanished and appeared right next to Nightwing, and a bright silver light began to shine.

Nightwing harnessed great energy and began to break the crystal that sealed the soul and body of Krysta's parents.

Christopher watched to the side and could not help but feel nervous.

"This crystal was a seal to cover the soul and body of your parents. It was supposed to be his proof of service." Nightwing explained mentally to Krysta and Christopher.

"Breaking it will free their souls. They have nothing to bind themselves to in this world. And they will not accept the dead body of theirs. But don't worry. The preparations are done. In theory, your parents should be able to live and cling to life. I will harness another Corruption and use it to trick the souls into thinking that the body is alive."

"Theory?! You are not sure this will work?!" Krysta retorted.

"Relax. I'm seventy-three percent sure. I've never used this power because it will age me. I might have to sacrifice an entire level. From 55, I'll probably drop down to level 54. But it can't be helped. What is this level compared to making my girl happy?" Nightwing chuckled.

Before Krysta could angrily retort again, Nightwing released the dark power.

The Unholy became the light that would deceive the two souls. Instead of following 'the light,' they would be led back to their bodies.

"[Somatos Ous Thanatou: Anima]!" Nightwing released his spell.
