Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 451 Blood For Creation

The blood spilled out wildly as Rex began to hold on to his throat.

A spear had stabbed out and the Force energy within the spear was surging out wildly.

"Darwin sensed Sandarite poison when he was attacked. I was wondering how a mere captain swordsman has access to such dangerous and rare poison. He couldn't have afforded it! You were supplying him with that, weren't you? Among the people that were poisoned were my best friend and benefactor. Her death seemed random. But now I know it led to you. To Jeffrey, it was just for personal gain. But for you, it was a political move so that you can spy more on the kingdom." Estelle answered as she pulled the spear back.

Rex couldn't even speak as he fell.

Angelica looked around her and saw all the deaths.

Champion Archie was ambushed by Ress and Treks. Captain Jeffrey was instantly killed with the spear stab of Champion Estelle. Rex drew his bow against Commander Derwin and shot four arrows that killed him. But Champion Rex was then attacked by Champion Estelle!

Their numbers dwindled down to ten. Two who had the powers to match Commanders, three Champions, and five captains remained to play the dangerous game.

"You have all gone mad! We may have killed the Goblin Horde, but we are not yet outside of this place! What if we face the Hydra?!" Angelica shouted angrily.

"One of you is definitely the vampire!" Angelica glanced at the murderers. Ress, Treks, and Estelle saw the glare of Angelica and retreated.

"And you! Why didn't you stop them? You had your monsters and could have to save Commander Darwin!" Angelica turned to Menks in her anger.

"What for? I'm a Necromancer! If they die, then it's to our benefit. You seem to have forgotten, Angelica. We are still enemies. You are trying to find and kill my lord. Why should I let you?"

"Your summons are weaker than the real thing! These undead summonses are nothing more than cannon fodder!"

"Yes. But if they die, it gives me the certainty that they are not the traitors!" Menks answered as he was quickly working on creating more undead summons.

Colin was already helping him and was about to pull back the dead goblins at the back.

But as he turned around, he noticed that the corpses have vanished!

"My Lord! The corpses have vanished!" Colin cried out.

Everyone's expression turned ugly. They were too busy to notice that the corpses had begun to disappear while some were empty of all blood! 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

"Impossible! I was watching! No one had time to drink the blood of these dead goblins!" Menks's expression turned ugly. He sat in silence for a split second and raised his hand.

"AHHH!" Colin cried as he stumbled down.

"No... The Servant Bond still exists. It's not Colin! Who could it be?!" Menks turned around everyone.

"Full disclaimer. Archie wasn't really the guy who willed Ress and Treks's friends. I just found the names of their closest friends who died and made lies to tie Archie with it. Genius right? I made up some lies while revealing many of the truths. Also, Rex and Jeffrey were not involved in the deaths of Estelle's friend. Rex did help Jeffrey poison one person with Sanderite, but in this brutal, selfish lands of the Uninvolved, why would all the deaths related to sanderite be connected to them?" The voice of Luigi echoed out.

The slime laughed and laughed.

"Master sure is having fun. You guys don't know who he is hiding or pretending to be, right? And dear necromancer, thank you for creating those magical potions using the goblins' life force which has been tainted with Dark Maddening! That really helped me in building the murderous intention of everyone! But I bet you knew this and tricked everyone to drink it anyway to make them start killing each other!" Luigi laughed.

"YOU!" Estelle roared in anger as she drew her spear towards Menks.

The undead summons of Menks quickly stood in front of him and blocked Estelle.

"Stop! I did not know!" Menks shouted.

"Liar! You knew this would happen! You poisoned us all! You said it yourself! You can easily raise the dead!"

"Yes! For these people! The front line! What made it possible for us to conquer through the Goblin hordes!? Was it those Champions and Commander? No! It was mages and those at the back ranks! The front lines except for Angelica, I could raise up to be cannon fodder! But those who fight behind the walls, be it archers, mages, or even a spear maiden, I cannot replace! If any of you murdered those at the backlines, I would have stopped it!" Menks defended.

"Liar!"

"Enough!" Angelica shouted in anger.

"That slime is messing with us! We are getting weaker and the vampire ancient is getting stronger! He wants to keep us in this state of disunity so he can kill us! From now on, no one kills each other! I don't care what crimes you have committed against each other, but we have to move now!" Angelica quickly moved.

The others followed.

Menks ordered the undead to start carrying some other corpses which he would resurrect while on the move.

As the group moved, they could see many wild creatures and beasts. There was a great battle but there were only very few bodies left. Several areas looked like it was habitats of many creatures. It was clear that the goblins attacked all of them and massacred many races. A huge war occurred within the mountain.

"Where are the bodies? It can't be... that the Vampire has already eaten them all!?

"No. He was too weak. Remember what the Slime Lord is plotting! The blood of Captains and those below are not enough. The Goblins monopolized this region and made a habitat out of it. They protected this kingdom and allowed the different races to survive. They were the ones who had a champion and commander strength. The rest didn't. It must have not been enough for his body!"

"Yes. So this is why there is potent darkness in this place! That Slime drove everyone mad and made the goblins attack all creatures in this mountain! This underground world was once full of life and has now been sacrificed for the creation of that castle!" understood.

"Creation of the castle? You mean the castle was created through magic?"

"Yes! By sacrificing life, it gathers and creates powerful magic that can take the form of Blood to create objects of power! It's unheard of magic! But the whispers of those who serve the Fallen speak of such possible magic. [Blood for Creation]! He needed a Castle to bring more Commander levels in it and to make a trap! But he was too weak to do that. So he needed to create this chaos where people will kill. A feast was built and we, the food walked in willingly!" Menks exclaimed.

"So we are helping him when we killed the goblins!?" Laura exclaimed.

"Yes. We have to leave! Avoid fighting if possible! I'll send my undead to spread around each other so that you idiots will not kill each other!" Menks explained and sent his forces out ahead.

The group marched onwards and saw monster after monster that was dead. Signs of battle were everywhere and the group kept on charging from one place to the other.

Huntress Captain Meria and Douglass the Scout reported whenever they could sense monsters and other life forms.

"Scouts! The path diverges again! We need to go up! Which one leads to the top?" Angelica asked.

"The right one! I can hear the sound of the wind blowing from that direction! Do you smell any more beasts?"

"The path to the right doesn't give off the scent of a beast. But I can smell elements. Something's there!" Angelica frowned.

"Prepare for battle! Spread out and don't stand near each other! We should be entering the castle again!"

Soon, they found a strange stairway leading upwards and bright light emerging from it.

"Is that the castle?"

"Be careful. We might fight that slime and that hydra!" Menks shouted and the group rushed up while assuming a formation.

A team of three Undead Commanders, including Derwin, charged to the front.

As they moved towards the entrance, several Golems stood.

Eight golems made of different elements stood at the ready and guarded the pathway leading out.

"Golems?!"

"Attack!" Menks ordered and sent his summons to the front.

"Awaken! Skull Overlord!" The Commander revealed his strongest summon.

A massive Greenish ethereal form of a huge Skeleton appeared behind Menks and it was releasing a tremendous amount of Commander-level magic.

But as he charged forward, Menks glanced around and gave a meaningful look at Angelica.

"Don't attack me just yet, Angelica. We only need mages and champions here! The rest are too weak, and it's better if we confirm their identities! Colin!"

STAB!

Suddenly, Colin leaped and stabbed Douglas! 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

SLASH!

Another undead Champion goblin slashed and severed the head of Treks!
