Ascension of the Nephilim

Kyros was awakened from the notification that he had seen.

It was still at the dead of the night, and the notifications appeared that jolted him awake.

"What the...?!" Calaminus was amazed at the sudden notification.

Kyros saw it but was too groggy to care and went back to sleep.

Gojirrah continued to explain everything that had transpired and what he knew about Kyros.

Reptilia was amazed at the strange tale of Gojirrah.

"His family are descendants of gods?!"

"From their conversation, it seems that Lord Kyros isn't the real son of that Shield Expert or the nephew of that Sword Expert. He is adopted. But from what I learned, he was sealed within a Temple deep inside that mountain. Past the City of Golems is a Path leading to another World. Lord Kyros is sealed in that Temple. He has powers that surpass our understanding. He claims to have fought and injured a Devil cultivator called the Blood Calamity."

"You believe all this?"

"I have seen a hint of his powers, and it is enough to convince me. Think about what we just achieved? We managed to steal you and escape with even a bit more! Lord Kyros now has a Time Core. And what's amazing is that some Champions and Captains will die in the Kingdom just by his words. Trust me when I say this... If he moves for real, more will perish. And his family isn't also ordinary! His father and uncle are those that are likely able to have the power to challenge Cardinal cultivators if they reach Champions!"

"Cardinal? How can a level 30 cultivator challenge one at fifty!"

"The two of them easily defeated me, even though they were at level 20s. You will see their power soon. I only hope that those other humans will accept us..." Gojirrah gazed at the darkness.

Back in Alpha Draconi Kingdom, an army was being organized.

Several Captains were killed. Because of what had happened, Commander Komodo Dragon issued the execution of all previously flogged Captains unless they confessed to the crimes written on the paper.

Many crimes that involved using Gojirrah as the scapegoat came to light. But because of the revelations, several Champions who were cheated were so angry and demanded the executions of the Captains that were responsible for their crimes.

The evidence that Gojirrah asked to prepare was also examined.

But no one was able to find out who were the other traitors sold themselves to the humans.

Komodo Dragon made the orders to march out. He realized that it would take forever to determine who the traitors were. The pressing issue to rescue Gojirrah, Grand Master Alchemist, and Champion Reptilia forced them to press on.

"Commander! How can we attack if there are traitors in our midst?" A Champion asked.

"Spoken like a traitor!" Another Champion mocked. The revelation of the Captain's crimes forced several secret issues to the light. As such, the alliance between Champions became very fickle.

"If being concerned that a hasty march that will allow the traitors to either backstab us in the battlefield or burn this kingdom as we leave is traitorous, then I am indeed a traitor to common sense! Go to those humans, you newt!"

"Enough!" The powerful shout of Komodo echoed out.

"Among you are three Champions that I trust with my life. Two Champions will stay here, and one will remain in this castle to defend. I want all Champions and Captains to surrender their wives, husbands, sons, daughters, or the closest person they have. Champion Claw 3. You will be the Champion that will guard over them. Should any instance of betrayal occur from any Captain or Champion in this kingdom, kill them! The weakening of our Message Talismans has disappeared. I will send you a message of who or how many to kill if there are anyone who will betray the forces I lead out to war."

The announcement shocked everyone.

"Commander! That's!"

"That is not enough as the stakes are too high! But it will do! I will not tolerate traitorous activities from now on. I can easily send a message to turn all of those who are here into traitors if needed. You have kept the secret of a dragon from the kingdom! So be quiet and have your loved ones sent here, or you will die!" Komodo roared.

"We march to war in ten minutes!"

The orders caused everyone to scatter. The Champions and Captains hurriedly did as stated. The announcement caused the night to be full of action as the groups began to follow the command.

Those that were late had someone among the people brought in to be killed. The fear against the Commander spread throughout the Kingdom, and the hasty preparations that seemed impossible finally happened.

Komodo had learned of what transpired outside and understood why there was a delay. He cursed at how crafty the Poltergeist was and ordered the Champion that remained to clarify and keep investigating the possible traitorous actions being done in the kingdom.

Without delay, the march of the Lizards began.

Komodo Dragon brought with him thirty Captains headed by three Champions. The danger of the traitors creating an insurrection forced Komodo Dragon to divide among Champions. As a result, the army was not united, and morale was low.

The Commander led the way. He had already sent the message to his nation about the secrets of the dragon, and more lizards were coming.

"And here I thought I would be the Lizard Lord in this region. But there's no helping it. So I guess that Commander is the best for these situations. I need brains, and that Commander has it!" Komodo muttered as his army marched out.

Back in Golem City...

The humans had made barricades and barricades around the area. The scouts confirmed the existence of several lizard races. 

What was horrifying was that several large Char Vermillion Lizards were spotted.

"Champion! Those Lizards suddenly became more organized!" One of the Captain gave his report.

At first, the appearance of the Vermillion Lizards was scattered, but suddenly they had become organized.

"We saw a large lizard leading them!" One of the scouts added.

Champion Ordeus turned sour as he heard this.

"Prepare for war. Steele family! Is it possible to create more Golems with the lizards we kill?"

"Yes! But this strange artifact acts in randomness. Sometimes a golem is created, sometimes one of the existing golems are strengthened, on some occasions, nothing happens." Branze reported.

"We will create a corpse extracting team so that we can deploy more golems to the field." Ordeus nodded.

"Forgive me, Champion. But I wish to talk to my son."

"Champion Mezal. You need to rest with your sons. Leave this battle to us. You have already taught us how to operate. Rest well. You may rejoin the battle when you feel you have fully rested." Ordeus ordered.

Mezal bowed, and he and his sons moved towards the back of the battlefield.

"Alright... Tell me everything." Mezal finally spoke as they were an earshot away from everyone.
