Ascension of the Nephilim

The power of Zelah could be sensed as it was a form of true awakening. While Scarlet remains to be the true avatar, Mezal managed to acquire the Code and learn from it.

At that moment, Mechiel, Kyros, and Scarlet felt a strange power resonating.

Outside the mountains and in the plains, Scarlet was also confused and told this to Martha.

"Is it lady Reptilia? Did she finally awaken it?"

"...I don't think so. She is able to draw out some power of it through the Coven... And so, she is more likely to awaken the Charm Fallen's power instead of Zelah's. Besides, if it was her, then even I would sense it clearly as part of the Coven!" Martha answered.

Aron had an ugly expression.

"THAT STINKIN' OLD MAN!" Aron roared.

"Master Aron?" Scarlet was confused.

"That old man! It's that old man! That dirty, perverted old man!"

In the entrance of Middle, Branze was at the front lines and fought to repel the last of the lizards when Foresight showed him a horrifying future. He led the army of the different kingdoms to charge deeper and left the Steele knights and warriors to remain inside to capture and offer the secret alliance of becoming part of Reptilia's team.

Everyone was using Foresight to tell if there were any potential allies and would even discuss with each other in the battle in which the group was.

But when Branze had left for the front line, the Spear Maidens arrived, and at the Middle of the battle, Mezal called on the Steele knights who had served him the longest.

Jules, Paul, and Javis, were orphans who served Mezal since they were young, and they joined in to fight the group alongside Mezal.

The Trinity Sword was the one that Mezal used, and the three kept throwing the three parts and wielded them all. As the Trinity Sword contained three blades, the battle styles of the knights changed depending on what sword they held.

The main blade was large and strong—a two-handed sword fitting for a Ravager. The second sword was as large as a normal sword and had a distinct curve, and whoever held it fought like a Blitzer with fast charging slashes. The final word was small and light that the knights fought like Quick Blades as they held it.

The strange thing was that the three knights could easily switch from one job to the other and would even turn back to a Knight when they wielded their shields!

The sight amazed everyone who was watching. Even the Commanders uttered cries of surprise at the fight. This meant that Mezal was not only so rich that he could elevate his team to Captain levels, easily giving him the strength of an Earl, but the Captains had multiple classes!

"Is the Steele family building a team of... Blade Masters?!"

"Impossible! Blade Masters are rare and only seen among the richest elites! How many blessings do they need to create one?!" Another argued.

"But this battle! We couldn't tell in the chaos of the war, but this battle reveals that their knights have mastered several jobs!"

The battle was drawing its quick conclusion.

Mezal's fighting abilities were shown, and his Job, which he claimed to be a Holy Shield Master, shocked the Spear Maidens.

Their powerful stabs were meant with arching Force Walls! Mezal didn't create a wall to resist but created a Force Wall that had different shapes. His pyramid force wall caused the stabs to slide off the side and only their Commander's strikes.

When the three knights joined in and fought, the Captains and the Champions were being pushed back.

The three Captains were the aggressors as Mezal acted as a shield creating walls around the three to defend.

But what was startling was how they four united their attacks to subdue the Champions. The group was careful not to wound the enemies and disarmed them or struck them with a Force Wall that threw them off the battlefield.

They tried to rush back, but a wall would suddenly block them. And as they had no weapon, they could not destroy the massive Force Wall that covered.

At that point, Mezal had abandoned creating a Force Wall around him as he focused on keeping the other Spear Maidens from moving in.

But even without a shield, the Commander's flurry of attacks all missed.

Mezal's perception was too fast for the Commander that Mezal was easily able to evade the attacks. Of the many things that were weakened, his dexterity had not weakened after the battle in Middle. So compared to the gigantic and swift attacks of Neteri and the other forces of Destiny, the attacks of this woman were rather basic.

Mezal continued to evade with the spear's tip barely grazing his skin. Soon, Mezal's armor fell, and the clothes were blown away, The last pieces of armor fell in a very cool manner, and Mezal's topless body was shown.

"Oh? Were you intentionally trying to disrobe me, princess? Well, I don't mind in showing you my glory." Mezal chuckled.

At that point, the power of Zelah echoed, and a power that copied Charm appeared.

The sudden sight was marvelous, and all who watched were shocked that such an old man would still have such a youthful body.

"What the...? Is that Mezal?" A knight asked.

"Amazing..." Another Barbarian felt such vast inferiority compared to Mezal.

"It's... Glorious..." One of the Spear Maiden Champions voiced out unconsciously and even stopped her attempt to break the Force Wall stopping her.

Kyros had linked with Petra and saw the scene and watched from the Temple's screen.

"Oh boy. Just as I thought..." Kyros sighed.

"Yup. Mezal is using his powers to become what women would call a DILF." Calaminus laughed.

"What's a DILF?" Reptilia asked.

"Dad I'll Love Fervently." Kyros gave a PG answer and closed the screen. However, he could not stop the events in the city, so he decided to ignore this.

The fight continued, and eventually, Commander Aliciana was defeated. She lost her weapon, and even though she had a team with her, they all lost as the nearby Steele family fought them. She was pressed to her back, and behind were was another Force Wall that stood like hard metal.

One of the Champions was helpless. Her opponent was just a Captain, but all her attacks missed no matter how hard she tried, and the Captain she fought somehow overpowered her and caused her to get caught in the attack of her Commander, causing her to be severely weakened.

Jules was standing right up to her with his sword touching the neck of the woman.

"... Beautiful..." Jules was amazed at the beauty of the Champion.

"Is that the one you like, Jules?" Mezal laughed.

Jules was stunned at the question and was about to shake his head.

"I am a god, Jules. Follow me, and I will make you a king of many queens!" Mezal laughed.

At those words, the three trembled. Mezal was not exaggerating. He was someone descended from Hyperion Steele! And this was a God that was outside of time!

Mezal turned towards the Commander, who was pressed on the wall as two Force Walls pushed on her stopping her.

"Well, Commander? Do you surrender?" Mezal asked.

Aliciana watched as Mezal approached, and the Force wall pressing her front disappeared. But even with the disappearance of this power, she felt a strange weakness and lost all will to lift her hands to defend. She was helpless and vulnerable, and she could feel a terrifying power as if Mezal was like a giant.

The Emberdons could see Mezal harness his Soul, and it was standing behind him like a giant. Anyone would feel intimidated by it. This soul had faced Neteri and conquered the massive soul! At Neteri's defeat and when she was absorbed in the Temple, this power strengthened Mezal's soul.

The size of Mezal's soul and the power of Charm affected Aliciana.

"I will never surrender."

DON!

Mezal slapped the Force Wall behind and pinned Aliciana to the wall.

This was the legendary Kabedon technique that Calaminus secretly taught Mezal.

"I wonder if this technique that is heralded as romantic by Japanese women will work on this princess?" Mezal wondered as he recalled how Calaminus taught how to do it.

Aliciana was turning red. She was no longer looking at an old man for some reason, but she had a strange thought.

"This... is a real man..." Aliciana felt her heart race.

"FATHER!" Branze arrived. He had sensed the workings of Fate and how Mezal was changing it and rushed back from the front lines.

"Ugh. You're here already?" Mezal sighed and turned back to Aliciana.

"This was fun, Princess Aliciana. I know you were just doing this to test my strength. I hope that my performance has been satisfactory." Mezal smiled.

"Get away from her!" Branze shouted as his figure transformed into a knight glowing with white energy.

BOOM!

A massive Force Wall shot towards Mezal.

"Emberdons! Please help!" Mezal laughed as he turned around.

"Damn. He's showing off..." Demerus cursed.

"Ugh. He wants us to make it look like we are creating the Earth energy." Stellya sighed as she raised her scepter, and the rest did as well. They could not afford to reveal that Mezal had an Earth Core and was even beginning to create Earth Element naturally.

"[Hallowed Ground]!" Mezal laughed as the earth surged.

BOOM!

"Stop flirting with women, you old pervert!" Branze roared as he charged.

"You unfilial son! Fine then! It's been a while since I've spanked you, unruly kid!"

The battle between the two commenced.

The Commanders watched in horror as the two fought. Their power had already surpassed them.

News rang out across the Lowlands. The Steele Family was now considered among the strongest forces within the Lowlands.

The news of this battle was witnessed by the prince and princesses of all the Lowland human kingdoms. Then, finally, it reached a certain someone.

"A Champion that can defeat a Commander?" A wizard was amazed. The wizard was wearing a cloak and carried a scepter of grand power that it was clear he was not of the Lowlands.

"Hmm... In Airom, no less? Interesting. Princess Listrel..." The wizard turned to a beautiful young woman.

"I know, Tathar. Set a course. We fly towards Airom. Stain! Inform those at Airo that the daughter of the Planes World King, Listrel Protos Endoxos, is headed there!"
