Ascension of the Nephilim

Back in the Golem City…

The battles had finally ended, and the counting was completed. Hunter and his team fought at first but then moved in preparation to teleport to the other side.

Those remaining continued to fight. The Emberdons displayed their power, and all who hated the Steele family were getting more and more helpless.

The Steele family was too strong!

Mezal stood over the body of a Champion Lizard near Golem City.

It looked at Mezal with a glare.

"Do you fear death?" Mezal spoke in lizard tongue.

The lizardman was started at the words of Mezal.

"You speak our language?"

"You are a Champion of the Discarded Army. You are one of the few honorable Champions that Gojirrah spoke of."

"Gojirrah? He recalls me?"

"We lied. He isn't under the control of some poltergeist. He said that your only crime is that you killed three women of prominent power. And that made you the enemy of the world. So you chose this place to be your refuge." Mezal said as he pressed his feet over the lizardman's face.

"Forgive me for stepping on your face. But as you can see, the other humans are looking. So I have to make it look like I'm bullying you. But Gojirrah wants to save you. This is also why my Steele family didn't kill the platoon you control. Those loyal groups of captains were only harmed." Mezal voiced off an evil laugh and kicked the lizardman so that his face was turned to his allies. As Mezal said, they were alive.

"We have a way of teleporting you to safety. So tell your men to relax. My allies will make it look like they will be performing a cruel sacrifice that will even make small cuts around your body. Do not resist them. And when you are teleported, do not try to flee; otherwise, Gojirrah and his men will be forced to kill you. Am I clear?" Mezal laughed.

"...Yes."

"Good. Reptilia will be your new queen. I bid you farewell." Mezal laughed.

"Bring the sacrifices to the center!" Demerus declared.

"Sacrifice?" Ordeus was confused.

"Demerus told me that the Steele family has already understood the power here. They will be recreating a powerful Golem, but it requires certain sacrifices." Relik answered.

Suddenly, a powerful horn resounded, and various knights, barbarians, mages, and other Champion level forces arrived. With them were the young prince and princess of the Lowlands and the delegates who were sent as the first batch to Airom. And those who were their escorts were prominent Champions.

The wearied human army rejoiced when their allies entered the Golem City.

Three Commanders led the way. They were famous figures in all of the Lowlands.

"Commander Tresh of Loren Ipsum. The Ragion Commander." Mezal knew the man.

"This should be interesting. I'm sure Fate has revealed that it was me who killed his son…" Mezal spoke in lizard tongue.

Two more powerful energies appeared.

The first was a powerful Paladin. Behind him was Drake Vestitude, and he was the strongest of the three Commanders. He belonged to the Five, known as the five strongest cultivators in all of the Lowlands.

Paladin Champion Michael Daidon entered, and his eyes focused on Mezal.

"So that's the Paladin. Drake. He's stronger than you. That man is a Commander level." Michael smirked.

"My Lord?" Drake was stunned.

"Something must have happened that forced him to show his real power. But you should do your best to recruit him to our kingdom." Micahel spoke.

"Oh? So he's the one smearing lies to my Jericho kingdom!" A beautiful spear master with her hair whipping out near the floor itself.

She was a legend in the Lowlands as she could challenge and defeat men from the Midlands. Her hair was also her weapon, which she would imbue with force energy, making it stronger than a normal whip.

She is the youngest princess of the Jericho Kingdom and its best spear master. While she had fought against two of the Five and failed to defeat both, it would be her if there was a sixth place in the official records.

Mezal saw the woman and could feel the intense killing intent.

"Oh? So Fate sends me a woman, a beautiful woman, to kill me! I must thank her!" Mezal smiled.

The figure of the Princess suddenly disappeared. Quick sonic booms were heard as her figure flew several meters off the ground through the air. She had appeared on top of one of the ruins and threw her javelin towards Mezal.

The javelin shot out, and lighting energy covered it.

"Mezal!" Ordeus shouted.

"[Force Wall]!" Mezal sneered, and a powerful wall emerged.

BOOM!

It was as if lightning struck the wall of Mezal. But the javelin was thrown back, and the woman caught it again.

"You dare lie about my kingdom! You accuse Viscount Gradier Conquistar of being a worshiper of a necromancer and a collaborator with the Eldrich?! How dare you?!" The woman roared.

"Commander Aliciana!" Drake wanted to speak, but suddenly, Michael stopped Drake.

"Wait. That Force Wall! It's strong. Let's see how things play out for now. We can easily interfere with this fight. Unless Mezal gives Aliciana more reason to anger her, she will only resort to making intimidating attacks. No doubt she was ordered to find out how strong Mezal is. Let's let her." Michael whispered.

Drake nodded.

"What say you, Mezal Steele? Show proof of your claims, or I will skewer you!"

Many watching suddenly had hope. If a Commander killed Mezal, it would solve many problems! After all, from what they saw, Mezal was the strongest Steele.

"Champion… Will Mezal die here?"

"Foolish thought." A Champion answered his Viscount.

"Mezal is not stupid to enrage that Commander. And that Commander has no intention of killing him. I'm sure she was ordered to see Mezal's true strength.

"Young lady, please be more gentle. As you can see, these old bones are quite fragile and cannot endure your youthful strength!" Mezal spoke like an old man and intentionally made his voice even more coarse.

"Champion Steele! While you may be of old age, power dictates titles! Refer to Commander Aliciana as her title!" A Champion Spear Master of great beauty stepped up.

Three beautiful Champions and several young Captains appeared and stood at the front. They were known as the Spear Maidens. They were all trained by Commander Aliciana herself. The Spear Maidens were also her companions in many wars. Its numerous victories easily made the Spear Maidens one of the strongest teams in the Lowlands.

"Power dictates titles, you say? So then, in that case, your Commander and all of you girls might as well call me Daddy! Come to daddy, and let me discipline you!" Mezal laughed lewdly.

The remaining Steele family who did not go with Hunter's company all had flushed expressions.

Demerus facepalmed.

Commander Michael froze.

"...What did you say?!" Commander Aliciana trembled in rage.

"Let me discipline you, lady Aliciana. By the time we're done, you will call me daddy. I just need to show you my spear!"

Commander Michael did not hesitate and charged forward.

But he was too late. The enraged Commander Aliciana lunged at Mezal stabbed out.

Mezal evaded at the last second, but the spear pierced through the clothes and the false armor that he had on.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the Force Wall erupted and pushed back Commander Aliciana back.

Blood fell down as the Force Wall smashed on Aliciana's face.

"Commander!" The Spear Maidens cried.

Michael was surprised. Mezal was laughing at that fight.

"He… can fight Aliciana?" Michael marveled.

"Everyone. Please allow me to fight these misbehaving women." Mezal laughed.

"Kill him!" Aliciana ordered, and the team of Champions and Captains charged.

The Golem King Petra saw all that was happening and decided to communicate with Kyros.

"Cornerstone!Your Grandfather is… how do I say this…?"

"Just say what comes to mind."

"Your grandfather is becoming a crazy exhibitionist that is asking a group of beautiful women to polish his spear. And he keeps adding if you know what I mean."

Kyros's expression darkened, and he talked to Petra about what was going on. Finally, Kyros gave off a helpless sigh.

"Lord Kyros?" Reptilia asked.

"Oh boy..." Kyros sighed.

"A group known as the Spear Maidens led by a beautiful Commander Spear Master is fighting grandfather."

The trio had strange expressions.

p "I think it's better than Lord Mezal. Have some fun, Lord Kyros." Hunter chuckled.

"The Spear Maidens are quite popular in the Lowlands. They all have girls of great beauty. In fact, many plots were made to kidnap a few of those girls, but Commander Aliciana is just too strong. I heard stories and tales about her. Besides, I don't think they can do anything to Lord Mezal." Hunter explained.

"Indeed." Gojirrah nodded. Mezal fought against Neteri. What is a Commander of the Lowlands compared to the shaman who could match Crowns? Even if Mezal was weaker, a Commander of the Lowlands was easy for him.

"You don't understand. Grandfather has been around beautiful women. He's desires have returned, and with his soul empowering him, it even awakened the man within! I can sense it! My grandfather is walking the Code of a Hunter."

"A hunter?"

"A hunter of women."

"He doesn't seem like that, Lord Kyros. The Emberdons were exceptionally beautiful. That's why he showed desires of marrying them."

"That's exactly the point! Grandfather has been around beautiful women! They were even willing to marry grandfather! He has been struggling all his life and sealed these desires for love and lust to protect his family. But now, his family is strong, and he was exposed to all forms of fantasies."

"Fantasies?" Gojirrah asked.

"Yes! Aunt Reptilia! A beauty that even drove those who are humans mad with lust! It was the first time many of them saw a lizardman, and yet, aunt has such a beauty that makes them throw away this racial barrier and want to... well copulate with her."

Reptilia was turning red.

"I'm sorry if I offended you, aunt. But I'm using that as a point. You are just one of these women! The Emberdons are beautiful, and then there's Mechiel and Scarlet! I don't think I don't see the looks you guys give at Scarlet now. And if not for your deep respect-"

"And fear," Hunter added.

"Great, terrifying, fear." Gojirrah also added.

"If not for your respect and fear, you guys would have your eyes glued to Mechiel, wouldn't you? Well... Think of my grandfather. She has all these ladies. One his daughter-in-law, the other his grand-daughter-in-law and if we add Scarlet, whose all over me-"

Mechiel pouted at Kyros's casual mention.

"He has been keeping all of these unfulfilled yearnings. And just when he could have taken Emberdon's his sons, they become skeletons, and while there are a few who remains human, his grandson and his own sons have been blocking him."

"I'm sure Lord Mezal will not do anything foolish to create wars over some women."

"Do anything foolish?! The man has Foresight! He even surpassed my expectations and managed to defeat Fate's plot! I'm not worried about him starting a war! I'm worried about him building a harem!" Kyros exclaimed.

"Don't exaggerate, Lord Kyros!" Reptilia frowned.

"Lord Mezal is not a lewd, old man. He is dignified and- What's that?! The Corruption of Charm! It's resonating!" Reptilia felt it.

"And here we go..." Kyros sighed.
