Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 447 Building A Body

Angelica charged up front but was also stabbed by the Shadow Ghouls in the surprise attack.

Angelica's form was too strong that her defenses allowed her to resist the attack of the ghouls and released a powerful Force energy that contained fire essence and purged the Shadow Ghouls from the extreme heat.

Angelica cursed and began to fight as her entire form began to radiate with a yellow aura that was her Force energy.

The famed Sword Flame Champion began to fight but now, her beauty was revealed.

But while she fought at the vanguard horde of shade ghouls rushed in and attacked the rest.

Their paper-thin form that was impervious to most physical attacks proved a problem, but the Midland forces were more equipped to fight it.

Elemental magics and artifacts were used against the many shade creatures that were rushing toward them.

"Fire Enchant!" A Champion mage used her magic to enchant the entire team and their weapons all glowed with fire magic.

BOOM! BOOM!

The slashes and stabbed released a Champion-level enchantment that easily killed the shadow ghouls. The stronger members of the team fought the shadow wraiths.

But the trembling of the earth continued and many started to get frightened fearing the Hydra's return.

The forces at the back of the group had their weapons drawn and were ready to fight.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The massive red pillars that were glowing began to break.

Inside the pillars were the bodies of familiar men. Some of these men had missing limbs and others had deep cuts and wounds all over their bodies.

"Commander Sereges!" A Commander instantly recognized one of the bodies that appeared inside the red pillar. It was the same Commander that disappeared exploring this place.

The Commander's eyes opened and the people that once served him also opened their eyes.

The entire dark underground area began to have glowing red eyes appearing under them.

"What's going on?!" Commander Menks saw it and cursed.

Several energy formation circles began to glow right above the red pillar and time magic was activated.

At once, the dead soldiers rushed with great speed and began to cross the distance.

BOOM!

The leaping rush of the Undead Commander Sereges created sonic booms as the speed of his rush surpassed the speed when he was alive.

"Defend!" A Commander rushed to the back and commanded his champions and captains to form ranks.

The group was able to organize itself quickly and bolster the defenses.

"Commander Sereges has two Champions serving him! We outnumber him and fight!" The Commander ordered and even Menks was forced to take part in the fight.

The two groups met and the brutal battle began.

The undead gave no concern to their body and charged in recklessly and went for the kill.

The Force Walls that were deployed were quickly destroyed and the mad rush of the undead had reached them.

BANG! BANG!

"They're stronger than when they were alive! Be careful!" A Champion warned as he locked himself in combat with another Champion who was once his friend.

A Commander slashed out as the Undead Champion leaped at him and severed the two. But the two halves rushed in and bit down on the Commander.

The Commander cursed and tried to push the Champion back, but the undead Commander Sereges rushed at him and swung his sword.

SLASH!

The cut was made cleanly and a Commander was instantly killed!

"Commander!" The Champions charged in to avenge their Commander but the reckless charge of Commander Sereges pushed them back.

With two battles occurring on both sides, and the appearance of many Shadow Wraiths, Shadow Ghouls, and other creatures of darkness, the side of the living was slowly losing.

Strange darkness began to break out and Menks saw it.

"Avoid that darkness!" Menks saw it and warned. But it was too late, and everyone was busy fighting.

The darkness moved in and affected many of the soldiers who were fighting and the Dark Maddening curse began to affect them.

The strange darkness was affecting many and a Champion who was among the wandering teams was the first to be affected. He glanced at Angelica who was fighting and his lust took over.

"You are mine!" He declared and charged toward Angelica.

Angelica heard it and saw that the Champion was rushing at her with a disgusting expression.

"Champion! Do not press further!" Angelica warned but the Champion did not listen.

Angelica cursed as he saw that the Champion would not stop and she wielded her fist and used her wing to make a huge flap that caused her to fly backward.

BANG!

Angelica launched a punch that struck the Champion squarely on the chest.

The Champion was thrown back in the attack.

It was then that Angelica noticed the ranks that were affected by the darkness had begun to act strangely. More were rushing towards her and some began to kill their allies!

"Kill those affected by the darkness! You cannot save them! Retreat to the center and form ranks!" Menks gave his orders and the survivors began to gather in the center.

All the other Champions and the Commanders moved and fought to stabilize the ranks.

"We have to get out of here! The heartbeat! Can't you hear it?!" Menks shouted.

"Heartbeat?" A Commander asked.

"So I wasn't the only one to have heard it. Since the appearance of the first gigantic rep crystal, a faint heartbeat could be heard. But now! It's getting louder and louder! Somethings coming!" Angelica warned.

LUB DUB! LUB DUB! LUB DUB!

The heartbeat was getting louder and louder as many of the living started to die.

"The ground!" A Champion warned.

"It's absorbing the blood!" He pointed at the ground and saw how their dead allies no longer had a pool of blood under them.

The undead warriors didn't feast on this blood as they should have.

"This entire place... is a sacrificial chamber! We've been tricked! That's why Hydra didn't kill us all!" Angelica realized what was happening.

"Everyone! Move out! Every man for himself! Leave this place!" Menks ordered as he felt the power surge towards the red crystal.

CRACK!

Menks and Angelica heard something break from the distance and a terrifying dread fell on them both.

"The vampire never meant to give us his legacy! We were tricked to stay and fight here to be offered as a sacrifice! This place is using our blood for the vampire to rebuild his body! If we stay here, we will die!" Menk rushed out and used his powers to create a powerful Force Slash.

"Run!" Menks shouted as a path opened. He was the first to move out and many began to follow.

Angelica had no choice but she flew with her great speed and the Champions and Commanders did the same.

The Captains and the rest were startled and shouted in panic.

"Commander! Save us!"

"Help!"

"Don't leave me!"

But the Commanders and Champions paid no heed but focused on their retreat.

Some of the Captains immediately abandoned the ranks and ran.

With no Champions and Commanders aiding them, the ranks collapsed as the undead Commander Sereges easily overpowered and killed them.

Menks was at the very front of the crowd and kept on cutting and killing the Shadow Wraiths and Ghouls that met his path. He could see the end of the tunnel and saw lights at the very end of the dark hall.

He began to attack the ceiling.

"Commanders! Champions! Bury this place!" Menks ordered as he sent numerous attacks to the ceiling and causing the rocks and floors to collapse.

STAB! SLASH!

Angelica followed and used her flight to make a massive cut on the top.

Her sword pierced through the stony ceilings and cut its way up front. The rest began to launch attacks behind them and caused the entire ceiling to collapse.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"No! I'm still here! Don't attack yet!" A soldier pleaded. He had retreated immediately and survived the undead and shadow threat. But now, he saw the stones collapse and blocked his path.

"Help!" He shouted but no one came to help him.

"AHHH!" The soldiers behind him were caught by the undead and were starting to die one after the other.

The soldier felt his knees weaken and he stumbled down.

"I'm... dead..." He lost the will to fight and closed his eyes to await his death.

...

...

"Hm? Isn't that one of the soldiers that served me?"

"Yeah. It's faint, but that guy is a person of Fate. Luigi must have sent him over. Let me inject some brimstone on him and we can do a three-person game. This one is getting boring since you don't want to trade my pink properties for your red ones."

"I'm not an idiot, Hydra. Why will I get the Pink when two Red properties are mine? You get the pink, I get the red!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

"But don't you like pink? Red is more my color. I'll throw in a Railroad and you can have it."

"What will I do with one Railroad?! Let's just have a three-person game. Hey soldier! Report!"

"???" The soldier opened his eyes.
