Ascension of the Nephilim

With Sherah leading the group, the team was successful and killed their first pair of Coins. Soon, two more pairs of Coins appeared in their anger and attacked the group.

The Coins thought the army to be exhausted, but the truth was these humans, and other races still had enough stamina and some were still close to their peak forms!

All because of Sherah.

Sherah was now the leader that everyone followed.

The Cardinals listened to Sherah who spoke of the tactic they would employ against the Coins.

"Our goal is to kill the Coins of Mammon! Those beasts are killing others so that they could feed their master. Our strategy is to trick the Greedlores into appearing. It is these creatures who birth the Greedlings. That\'s why I ordered everyone to conserve their strength and wait, feigning desperate weakness until the Greedlores went it for the kill. And when I killed those four, the Coin of Mammon had no choice but to appear."

"I see. So we fake being defeated to make them appear? But what if they know of this plan?"

"They don\'t My master has succeeded in destroying whatever magic allows these beasts to communicate."

"Understood! We\'ll follow as you have said. But we will need more of your blood spiders!"

"Alright. But as previously arranged, you will have to pay for it. I can sense when my blood spiders die and when they feed you and restore your strength and stamina. The prices remain the same."

"Alright! Let\'s go!" The Cardinal led half the army to fight two of the Coins while another Cardinal led the other half to fight the other two.

Monica stood next to Sherah. She called to remain in the middle and asked the two armies to buy her time as she would order her spiders to devour the corpses of the Coin and their respective army."

"How are you? I can sense you growing strong."

"I\'ll be giving birth to another spider which will be my clone, Monica! That is magic that I should only be capable of at Crown! And even then, my clone will only have half of my power! But this one...! Thanks to his blood, I could create a perfect clone! And my children are growing at an incredible speed! I could even birth Champion-level Spiders now! With those two armies, I could birth Commanders!" Sherah laughed.

"But how? How can small spiders damage the Greedlings? The spiders are small and they don\'t seem to have any form of power, at all! Their bites could not penetrate through the creature\'s thick hide and ignored the spiders to fight on." Monica asked.

"As I intended! If I created them to be more powerful, then those Greedlings and Greedlores would have noticed it! These are the spiders born from the blood of Master, the Fanged Fallen! They can drain the lifeblood of Greedlings and grow! They will be like Greedlings who will grow stronger as they dring. But these spiders don\'t need to leave a puncture to absorb the blood. They have a special power of absorbing blood as long as they were near. Such is the power that Master Nightwing instilled in the spiders!" Sherah laughed.

"Amazing! So that means, you have been drinking the blood of those Coins since the start?"

"Yes. Their size is their weakness! I have sent already hundreds of small spiders that were drinking from the Coin and on those Greedlores at the start! They didn\'t notice since our allies have been fighting wildly."

"The unsatisfied devourer will face the unquenched drinker. A perfect battle!" Monica laughed.

"Exactly. I am able to produce thousands upon thousands of spiders that weakened the Greedlings even before they reached the front lines. But now, we must do as Master ordered. We have to send these bodies away with the same energy formation circle. He has burned the knowledge of this spell into my soul and with my spiders acting as the marking of the circle, we can teleport it quickly. I will need your help since this requires Light and Dark magic."

"Let\'s do it." Monica nodded.

The entire army of corpses was teleported out and Sherah and Monica joined the battle of the two Cardinals.

Sherah would use his spiders to sacrifice themselves to restore the stamina and power of his allies.

The Coins could not understand how the army held on. They always appeared to be at the point of defeat but held on. Slowly, the Coins exerted more effort, but unknown to them, the spiders of Sherah were already drinking their blood!

As the war continued, Sherah absorbed so much blood that her cultivation was already increasing and she was able to create stronger spiders. But she did not want to alert everyone else. As far as she was concerned, all who fought next to her, excluding Monica, would be her desert after the main course.

With the power of Nightwing, the spider\'s bite was able to inject a blood-clotting poison that weakened the Greedlings and even slow them down without them noticing.

Sherah herself was getting ready to breach the next level of her cultivation!

The pair of Coins soon saw that the army was about to collapse and finally surfaced and attacked.

The Cardinals leading the armies saw it and secretly sneered.

The final clash between them and the remaining Coins began.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the Gigantes...

The Fallen Spawn had ordered all his forces to gather at the heart.

The Antibodies watched outside the heart and demanded answers and the Fallen Spawn had to appear and explain to the Antibodies least the Antibodies would wage an all-out war against all of the Coins and Silver!

"You have already tricked us! And while your selfish plans gave advantages to this body, you are now abusing it! The pain this body felt when your Silver was destroyed was great! Leave the heart or else we will personally destroy it! Don\'t think that this body will die without its heart!" The Antibodies spoke.

"It\'s a misunderstanding! We were tricked! A lost a Silver right before that attack was made!"

"Liar! The forces released darkness that was similar to yours! How can such darkness belong to those foreigners?!" The Antibodies that led the negotiation roared at the Fallen Spawn.

"I have not gone beyond our agreement! I have lost my link with all my Silvers and Coins because of the destruction of that tower! I honored my word and would never have destroyed it!"

"Are you saying that I am a liar?!" The Antibody roared.

"I merely am saying that I am innocent! That tower was my connection to all my Silver and Coins due to the poisonous air that limits magic inside this place! Why would I destroy it? But to show my sincerity, tell me your demands, and I will agree to them!"

"Seventy percent of the life energy and the bodies you gain here will be given over to us!"

The Fallen Spawn clenched his fist. Normally, he would get the lion\'s share and the rest would be given over to increase the life span and strength of the Gigantes.

This was the agreement that the Fallen Spawn had.

But now, due to the arrival of the Angel, the Fallen Spawn was already planning to implant himself into the heart. He put on a facade of suffering grave losses.

"I accept! Only help us in fending off the armies! Those that came here are unlike the past ones! They are strong and smart!" He pleaded.

"No! You know that our life is limited. We will not waste our lifespans fighting all these forces! This is in line with our agreement. You were given that job and we would only act if the body is harmed! We will take care of the angel! Only that which has made a large wound will be our target! But anything else, you will fight on your own!" The Antibody answered.

"Fine!" The Fallen Spawn agreed.

The Antibodies departed and left the Fallen-Spawns army.

"My lord..." A Silver spoke.

"Our enemies are drawing near. It\'s reaching the heart. It will take them several hours thanks to the bacteria beast that protects the land."

"Gather everyone here. Although my link with the Silver and Coins have been severed, I can still tell that many or all of them are dead!"

"What?!" The Silver was stunned.

"We have no choice. I will begin the process of becoming a Gold. And once complete, I will attach myself to this heart. Protect me! Coins! Return to me!"

"...Yes master." Many coins knew that their life would be forfeited but they all followed.

Not just the Coins, but a portion of their respective armies would be devoured by the Fallen Spawn to transform into gold.

As they began to merge, Nightwing watched from afar as he sent his shadow to scout ahead.

"Perfect. The Fallen Spawn is preparing to fight a holy war and did not bother setting up spells to detect my shadows." Nightwing sneered.

"This is the perfect opportunity. Krysta, Angelian. Go back and lead the army. I will go ahead and search for the brain..." Nightwing ordered as his form transformed into a shadow.
