《Ascension of the Nephilim 》Chapter 200: Certain Lies
Advertisement
Grugnyr stood by and prepared a herb on the one hand, and his other hand held up a small round object.
Martha and Myas were experienced fighters, and the Bowheart Clan was superior not just for skills and agility but the resources and usage of certain objects to help them escape.
It was said that the forefather of the Bowheart Clan was a mighty ninja who was outcasted from the Highlands. And so, the clan that could only acquire the lowest quality blessings among all as that was the only one in the Lowlands could acquire. And that was the way that gave the Bowheart clan be one of the strongest archers in the Lowlands.
The smoke bomb used various ingredients and herbs, which Myas and Martha had a supply of. Alongside the small grenades, they already created some of these smoke bombs and had them even during the battle with the dracanae and the Thane Dragons but didn't use them since Myas had already tried using some of them and noticed that it was useless for those creatures.
But now, these items would finally be useful against these orcs.
The dracanae ghouls rushed towards the front lines.
Some of the orcs refused to use the weird herbs and raised their swords and shields.
The archers also began to shoot their bows, disregarding the orders.
But as the ghouls suddenly retreated and jumped.
BANG!
With pure brute force, the dracanae ghouls lunged themselves towards the huge trees.
The arrows and magic attacks all missed as the dracanae ghouls made an expert maneuver to evade it. The incredible thing was that they evaded on the last possible second causing the attacks of the orc magi and archers to miss.
BOOM! BOOM!
The ground exploded as the dracanae ghouls were jumping from tree to tree.

Grugnyr was amazed at the strength of these creatures.
"None of us could fight that dracanae ghoul one on one. Their might is too strong for us." Avary whispered.
"But thankfully, they are all under the control of Hunter and Lady Martha."
"Then... there are four more?" Grugnyr asked.
"There are enough bodies for all of us. But most of them need the bodies of orc captains to regain the ability of basic movements." Avary explained.
The fast leaps of the dracanae ghouls allowed them to jump from one tree to the other.
"What amazing dragons! Those legs..." Martha observed.
"These dracanae ghouls are based on a specific class of the dragon warrior types. They are known as the Brawler Dragons. They sacrifice their bodily defense by strengthening their arms and legs. Just as knights focus on defense and swordsmen focus on offense, dragons have various types and classes that emphasize on either offense or defense." Puff explained.
"When my soul was separated from my body, my heart ached on instinct and created a body similar to my original from which led to those Thane Dragons. But with my soul in control, I can bend and turn the evolution of my cells to follow the other dragon types that I devoured."
"Which dragons have you devoured?"
"All of them." Puff smiled.
"Then the dracanae ghouls that we have can all evolve into these dragons?"
"They are of my cells, and I can command it. But don't underestimate the necessary food supply to make these dragons."
"I know. With how those Thanes died, I understand just how many cells a single dragon needs." Martha answered. She then commanded the dracanae ghouls to start.
Smash!
The first attack finally happened.
One of the orcs held his shield to block the incoming attack.

But the force of the attack smashed the orcs on the ground, and his bones could be heard cracking.
"Don't challenge them relying on your strength! These aren't humans who we can easily overpower! These are creatures that can easily break our bones!" Grugnyr shouted in anger.
"Use the herbs!" Grugnyr reminded.
The dracanae ghoul leaped after kicking the trunk of the trees to send them faster.
Drought showed his ruthless experience as he suddenly held one of the nearby orcs carrying the herbs and hurled it at the dracanae ghouls.
"AHHH!" The orc shouted in freight and shock as he was thrown at great speed. He unconsciously held out the plant, and right before the dracanae ghoul was about to punch the orc, it trembled and fell on the ground.
Drought rushed forward and slashed his huge ax, and the dracanae ghoul blocked it with its thick arms.
BANG!
The dracanae ghoul was sent flying back and smashed on the trees.
The orcs were shocked as they had seen once more the proof of how these plants work.
"Hey, Hill Orc!" Drought called out to Grugnyr and used a rather offensive term for those who lived in the Underhill Orc Kingdom.
Grugnyr didn't hide his frown.
"Give me those smoke bombs, and I'll kill those creatures!" Drought laughed.
The orc that was thrown quickly retreated. Another dracanae ghoul pounced at him, but he held the plant up, causing the ghoul to retreat back.
All the warriors were now holding the plant on one hand and finally completed the preparations.
Hunter and his four dracanae ghouls were now visible in Grugnyr's mini-map.
He could see the group approaching and could tell the plan.
Avary and Gregory had already sent all eight of their orcs covered in armor and were positioned in key places on the battlefield.
Martha watched and smiled.
"Was the dracanae ghoul harmed from that attack?"
"A little. That orc is quite strong for a Captain." Puff praised.
"Still... I can't believe that I had to make that weak orc hit my dracanae ghoul for this."
"Certain lies need great preparation. I'm not like my Lord, who can just dive right in and make a fool of people."
"He can really do that?"
"He could have so easily killed me. It's a good thing he's my ally. In this fight against Destiny, he's the one I need. Now... Time to attack." Martha smiled as darkness covered her, and she jumped down.
The power of the Void Ninja appeared. Martha disappeared as she took a step forward.
"The Blood Calamity is on the move! Be careful! Use the smoke bombs now!" Grugnyr ordered, and everyone immediately did so.
The smoke covered the entire area. The vision of the orcs had been blocked as the thick smoke appeared and even made it hard for the orcs to breathe.
And as they were blinded and hindered, the orc vampire ghouls, the dracanae ghouls, and all the members of the Coven began their attack.
Some were even behind enemy lines.
Their orcs had weakened their defenses as many of them held out a useless plant in front of them.
With all the lies that prepared this scenario, the Coven could finally begin the orc massacre.
