《Ascension of the Nephilim 》Chapter 172: Darkness of Fate

Advertisement

Back in the real world, Martha kept running and running and was constantly killing the dracanae ghouls she came across. 

STAB!

The tail of the Dracana stabbed the leg of Martha, but Martha was quick to pull herself out and run despite have a hole on her leg. Then darkness began to cover it once more as several rounds of Minor Vampiric Healing was cast.

"That's the second time! Her body is quite tough! Even with those wounds, she isn't slowing down!" One of the five Dracanae's cursed.

Her body had been stabbed twice but the wounds were now healing as Martha kept retreating.

The dracanae was even controlling their ghouls to keep retreating to minimize Martha's healing. But this only made Martha's escape even faster.

As the group continued to chase Martha, the three H's had just spent their remaining magic point to convert another dracanae.

"Follow me! I sense that we can recover up ahead!" Hunter led the group as they rushed forward with two dracanaes on the lead.

"I think we can afford to absorb a round of blood from the dracanae ghouls and get one more creature." Hemsey concluded.

"Speak for yourself! I can't take in any more! I'm already felling a sense of anger and frustration!"

"But you already wild killing that other dracanae! Wasn't that enough?" Hemsey asked.

"Why don't I bring out my frustrations to you?!" Hems cursed.

"I think you should fight one of the Dracanae alone to calm yourself down. There should be a several more coming up. Can you fight one like you did earlier?"

"Yes! Do you think I'm weak?!"

"Let's go." Hunter ignored his brothers rages and ordered the two dracanae to rush ahead towards the area where he could hear a dracanae was grunting.

As they got closer, the daracanae ghouls seemed to be fixated at something. They were trying to scale the walls. On a higher level were several humans humans shooting with bows and arrows and dropping stones. The ceiling of the cave rose several stories high that it looked like it was possible to reach the top of the underground chamber.

"It's the slaves!" Hemsey exclaimed.

"They followed us and looked for a path leading down here! As expected of Lady Myas."

The three moved closer to observe but kept themselves hidden from the busy dracanae.

The arrows and bows could harm the hard carapace of the dracanae ghouls. A few more dracanae arrived from another path and joined the group.

The cliff was slippery and smooth that the dracanae couldn't climb up. But through intelligent teamwork, the dracanae ghouls were focusing on grouping together to scale the high wall leading to a cliff where the slaves were. 

"We have to help the slaves!" Hems frowned.

"Hunter... Is this where Fate led you?" Hemsey asked.

"Yes!" Hunter smiled.

"We left all those fragile vials of potion on their bags in case we would have to fight. With them in hand, it's possible to restore our magic points!" Hunter cheered.

"But how do we get pass these dracanaes? There too many of them!" Hems cursed.

"We wait. Lady Myas had joined Lady Martha on some missions, right? She smart in this. Look, there are only a few among the slaves there. Lady Myas and Mardock is also not among them! They must be planning something! This is why we faced so few dracanae ghouls! Most of them are being stopped here!"

"They probably will drop a large boulder..." Hemsey guessed.

"Right. We have to wait for that to happen and send our two ghouls to sabotage whatever actions these dracanae ghouls might do. With all of them here, it possible for them to attack or catch the boulders together." Hunter answered.

"Perfect! We have to time it properly. With all those ghouls, they won't get crushed but if we can pin them down with the boulder, we can easily convert more!"

"Leave one of those dracanae to me. I need to release this anger. It's really ticking me off!"

"Don't worry. We wait for Myas to make her appearance and that should be the sign that they are about to execute it." Hunter answered.

"Do it!" One of the slaves suddenly shouted.

The Three H's were startled and Hunter immediately sent his two ghouls to move closer.

The three were also preparing their charge.

Suddenly, rumbling sounds where heard several stories higher than were some of the slaves were.

Several of the slaves suddenly appeared out of the corner of some rocks and out of some of the wider crevice on the wall and threw large rocks.

The rocks fell and made the dracanae start to evade. 

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Several rocks that were larger than a human head kept falling and made the dracanae evade by moving closer to the center. Some stumbled down as the impact of the rocks smashed on their heads.

About a split second after the rocks were thrown, several humans and Mardock appeared and gave a powerful punch on a certain pillar near the top.

BANG!

The destruction of the pillar caused a large boulder to fall down.

Hunter immediately ordered the two to prepare as the he and his brothers approach.

The large boulder fell with great speed, but at that moment, all the dracanae moved in synch to catch the large falling boulder.

CRASH!

The dracanae ghouls managed to catch the stone but their foot dug deeper into the earth from the force.

"STOP THROWING! MARDOCK! JUMP ON TOP OF THAT ROCK!" Hunter shouted as loud as he could and gave the orders to charge.

The ghouls he controlled rushed in and gave powerful kicks to some of those who were carrying the large boulder.

SMASH! SMASH!

Two of the dracanae were kicked that they were thrown towards other dracanaes trying to bear the weight of the rock.

The three H's also moved and attacked the footing of some of the dracanae ghouls.

Mardock had immediately followed and jumped towards the boulder he had just pushed down.

SMASH!

The lack of support and the added force that struck the boulder caused the group to lose the strength and was flattened to the ground.

The three H's and the two controlled ghouls began to attack the downed dracanae and started the process of converting some of them.

"Success! Let's hurry! Some of them are just under this rock but received little damage! Let's hurry and go save our lady!" Hemsey laughed.

"Throw us some magic potion, quick!" Hunter shouted out loud and Myas immediately acted.

"Dracanae? Impossible!" Mardock observed the monsters beneath the rock and frowned.

"Help us! These two are under our control! We are trying to convert more! We have to save Lady Martha!" Hems shouted as he caught one and drank.

"My sister? What happened to my sister?!" Myas shouted with fear as she heard Hems's report.

"We'll explain later!" Hems roared back as he took one sip from the magic potion he got. Hems immediately stabbed the heart of one of the dracanae that was pinned down by the rock. He fought the dark seal wildly.

Hunter and Hemsey had to join forces to start one but laughed at Hems anger.

"Let's do this!" Hunter smiled. 

"This should be a mistake." Hunter mumbled.

"What?"

"No. Nothing. Let's hurry." Hunter concentrated.

What Hunter didn't say, was that his Foresight was pointing him to something else. 

"No. This is just probably the darkness of Fate. Is it testing me? What a crazy notion." Hunter thought secretly. But the whispers of Fate grew even more clear.

"No! It shouldn't come to that!" Hunter concentrated and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile... in the Separated Realm...

"WHAT THE?!" The dragon soul was horrified at what he saw.

"What kind of bloodline is this?! This darkness! It's controlled by Fate!" The dragon watched as he saw visions of several large gods that made him shiver. All of those gods and fallen that he saw could end him almost instantly.

Martha was quickly regaining her memories.
