Ascension of the Nephilim

Some of the members of the Coven froze as they read the message of Nightwing.

Martha frowned. Grugnyr cursed. Gojirrah sighed. Aron smiled. At the same time, Mezal laughed at the message.

"Emergency meeting!" The Emberdons requested and sent the message to the rest.

This was a simple message sent through the Fortress. While long-distance communication was not yet formed, a magic known as 'text messaging' was invented so that they could see simple, short messages like this.

Everyone moved to the energy formation circle they had built to connect to the Fortress.

"Nice! The signal is getting better! Our last call was very blurry." Aron laughed.

"We switched our lines to something different. Through alchemy and this Fortress, we created a long glass line connecting this place to Airom. We call it fiber optics." Demerus gave a confident thumbs up as the appearance of each one of them began to appear one after the other.

"Why are you guys acting so casual?! We can barely fight Crowns, and he's throwing Conquerors at us?!" Grugnyr shouted as he saw the casual conversation of the group.

Hunter appeared and sighed.

"On my last journey with Lord Kyros, I had to punch the gigantic Crown form of Oblivion as a Champion. So I guess this sort of makes sense now." Hems chuckled.

"The gap between Crowns and Conquerors is quite high." Mechiel appeared.

"In my last memories, I already had the energy and strength of a Cherubim. So I know the great gaps between."

"It makes sense. Besides, with the Fortress, we can easily level up. War is on the horizon, so it's easy for us to collect the body and energy of our foes. Then, we just have to kill our ten thousand." Aron laughed.

"Nothing about what we go through is normal or makes sense. I'm surprised Lord Kyros didn't throw a Cherubim into the mix." Martha sighed.

A hologram appeared, and Diana and Branze appeared. They were in the Seat of Command, the most secure chamber in the newly constructed Airom Fortress.

"Part of Mysterion is to hide our strength. If we are too strong, Destiny will act to obliterate us. Since Kyros has hidden our memory of us, he has only a small chance to alter the future. Sending Crowns to kill Crowns would make his cover blown. But sending Conquerors to squish bugs is a different story. Before Kyros awakened his Nightwing side, he already believed we would have the power to do this. Therefore, we need to always act outside of the norm. Reaching the level of having Conquerors strength is quite a task, but we have been fighting foes of equal gaps since before." Branze explained.

"It is as my son's aid." Mezal added.

"But let's remember. It's Nightwing leading them. So he must have some plan to sabotage it from the inside."

"But he won't do it outright. So we still have to act as if he won't help us. Obvious help will reveal his status, and we will get the wrath of Destiny with all those previous curses locked on all of us." Reptilia chided in.

"Right... All those curses that mark us to die will return if we slip up. Although I'm not scared of it, it will be an annoying thorn on our side." Mezal nodded.

"Since when is a curse of Destiny that ensures the death of the Steele family considered 'an annoying thorn'?" Martha frowned.

"I'm part of this family too, and I don't want some stupid curse after us. I'd rather die fighting Nightwing." Martha exclaimed.

"And that's exactly what Nightwing to do. He has friends to kill. So we better gear up. I've already charted a plan of attack, and it's good that Scarlet and Mechiel are pushing their forces up to the Midlands. But we have to go above and beyond in this one. Martha and Aron. You go to the Dark Sea and search for the location of the Charmed Fallen and Tiamat! Puff now has mastered a way to transform into a human thanks to the Emberdons."

"What? Are we going further south? Shouldn't we drop whatever we are doing and send forces north to the Midlands?"

"No. We need those legacies if we want to kill Conquerors. They are the greatest priority."

"How do we go back to the Midlands for the war?"

"Princess Lea Olethros. Find a way to contact her. She has two portals to move you through the Lowlands quickly." Mechiel answered before Branze could.

"Will she help us? Those portals are like the biggest secrets to the Netherlands! And besides, she's like the princess of the Netherlands and all..." Aron wondered.

"She likes Kyros. You're his uncle. She will help." Mechiel chuckled.

"It is as Mechiel said. As for the rest of us, we're going to look for the Code of Daradiel and the Corruption of Hydron."

As the team of the Nephilim made their plans, the strongest cultivators of the Planesworld were also faced with numerous threats.

The Planesworld was the strongest planet in the Sol Star System. Despite the darkness of the region is profound, this planet rose to its strength because it wielded the very element that could directly clash with the darkest darkness, and that was light.

The Sol Star gave light to the Planesworld and was said to be Astra's gift to Dentro that all of his plants would have a star to nourish them in the vast cosmos.

The light strengthened the Planesworld, creating a massive magical barrier that protected it from invaders.

All home-born natives of the Planesworld could easily move out of this barrier, but none of the foreign bodies could enter it.

When the Eldrich was first thrown out of the Planesworld, both Protos Endoxos and the Necros family banded together to make the Planesworld identify the Eldrich as foreign and prevent them from entering the great barrier.

But now, it was revealed that several Eldrichs have somehow found a way to enter it! And there were numerous forces that managed to move inside the Planesworld.

Because of that, Solas Soter and Gandor Ellisium have been tasked to search for the means of entry. But even after so many months, they came up with nothing.

At the very peaks of the Highland, the sun shone brightly on the numerous towering fortresses and the massive World Wood Trees in the area that flourished.

But at the great castle at the highest branch, in the peak twig of the Planesworld, was an observatory that constantly had its eyes set on the heavens above and the Netherlands below.

Gandor Ellisuim and numerous people continued to monitor the world. Princess Listrel had arrived and given the news about the Eldrich. And this made the Highlands go on full alert. The Eldrich had made its way into the Planesworld!

"The first Eldrich that we learned to have entered the Planesworld was the one that Princess Listrel killed. Eldrich General Argos must have been someone who gained entrance through the dark rebirth method of the Netherlands. But this rebirthing is a risky method. I doubt the nobles and elites will try this. Eldrich Argos must have been the one to lead the Dark Shine kingdom to begin their conquest of the Lowlands. But two more have been found now. Princess Listrel slew another one, a weak Cardinal Eldrich. Listrel also reported seeing Princess Lea fight against another Crown Eldrich and slew him. But their bodies do not show signs of Dark Rebirth... And their cultivation is rather high to reach that level. So then what is this new method? And why did they start using it now?" Gandor Ellisium closed his eyes as he meditated and used his powers to quickly scan the Planesworld. He was looking for high-level energy fluctuations and other energy anomalies.

Then found two strange areas where the energies were acting weakly.

"One above the Highlands? But... how?" Gandor began to think.

It was then he remembered their guest.

"Greater God Sheolrah! That's it! The Greater God charged inside and smashed through the barrier to demand us to look for Cracky Batcheeks! That's the first! Could it be...?" Gandor took a closer look at the next barrier that covered the region above the Midlands.

"As I thought! It was damaged! But that's impossible! This means that Eldrich has something at the level of a God or a Fallen to help him! Impyernos? Is Impyernos alive? I must report this to my King at once!" Gandor stood up.

"Magistrate Supreme! We detect several planets on the move! They have suddenly dispatched their forces and are using interstellar warping to send several men toward the Brek Fiasco planet!" One of the mages assisting Gandro exclaimed.

"Brek Fiasco? Could it be? An interstellar raid?" Gandor frowned.

"We must inform the Otherworldly Planes Fortress. Create a link."

"Yes, Magistrate." The mage agreed.

The magic connected the observatory to the floating Fortress that stood on one of the highways for stellar trade occurred.

This was the Otherworldly Planes Fortress that Pyrekaiser Fafnir guarded. He was at constant war with the Eldrich's many dark forces and the Non-Planetary beings that were spurred to war.

"Pyrekaiser. Are you there?" Gandor called out.

"I see it, Gandor. An attack could be imminent." Pyrekaiser watched the numerous planets begin to send warp paths toward the planet.

And suddenly, the Black Moon, hidden in the shadows that the Planesworld cast from standing in the light, began to activate its warp paths.

"So the Eldrich will take part, huh? It looks like we'll be getting busy."
