Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 501 Friends With Breveros

Breveros Hiwind, the unlucky Eldrich, knew he was going to die.

The sword stab had a peculiar power draining his blood and releasing his death and dark energy.

All because he dropped his guard when two succubi appeared. The Succubus's power was so strong that even the changing power of Allaso couldn't hinder the appearance of the two women.

The power that bound the succubus to the incubus was terrifyingly strong! Breveros realized that it wasn't just any succubus that he saw! Those two must have received power from a Code or a Corruption!

"How... careless of me..." Breveros sighed.

He reflected on his mistakes and those that Nightwing revealed.

"No. He was right. I was... unlucky. Why? Why am I destined for such weakness? Why is my destiny to be so... unlucky? I had the power to challenge the strong! Even my brother... But I am always..." Breveros began to curse at his Destiny.

"At last... my toil has ended. The bitterness of my constant unlucky strikes will finally end. I won't have to fight it..." Breveros smiled and welcomed death with an embrace.

"So... Hi! I'm Nightwing. Now that I proved that I could kill you... Is it possible that you can put on a good word for me? I want to join the Eldrich ranks." Nightwing smiled as he removed all of his attacks that were about to kill Breveros.

Suddenly, a large pile of dead Champions and Commanders appeared.

"These were some of your people I hunted down to feed myself. Seeing as you are a Dark Dependent that uses Thanathou's Corruption, you should be able to heal yourself, right? Er... I can create a blood formation that will allow you to absorb all of this and survive if it's not enough." Nightwing began to offer. His back was sweating.

Nightwing was cursing himself.

The moment he saw the face of Breveros, he had several memories of how Kyros and Breveros fought together and faced Brimstone beasts in a post-apocalyptic world. Nightwing wasn't sure whether this was a future vision, a vision of an alternate future, or some scenes from a past life long ago!

"I nearly killed a person of Fate! This is wild! A being of Destiny that will turn to Fate! Beyond the memories of Kyros, this person's peculiar state is necessary for me to research! One blessed with Destiny, but one who is blessed only to be a minion of a leader of Destiny! But this guy proved too strong that it threatened the elected leader of Destiny and now has become the target of Destiny!" Nightwing began to understand the state of Breveros.

"...What? What are you saying...? You don't want to kill me?"

"Kill you? What makes you think I want to kill you?"

"WHAT MAKES ME THINK?!" Breveros erupted.

"You created a multi-layered plot to deceive me, drive my armies away from me, entrap me with women who could kill me if they saw your face, you killed my Siren Cardinal using two succubi to put me in a trance, and stabbed me with your Blood Blade that contains strange powers that rendered me paralyze and useless! That's what makes me think that you want to kill me!"

"...But did I?" Nightwing asked again.

"That's not the point! What is it that you want?!"

"As I said... I want to take a slice of the pie in the Eldrich New World Order that you want. You are of Royal blood! I can tell! I wish to meet your father, Tempest Hiwind, and the current king of the Eldrich, Bolerax Hiwind." Nightwing spoke the names of Breveros's family.

Breveros's expression changed.

"You... know my father and brother?"

"I just heard of them through the enemies I fought. You may have heard of my escapades in the Lowlands. Truth be told, I just awakened then. I was too weak. And knowing that your erm... forces will most likely want to eat me, I presented myself as a human and changed the situation in the Lowlands. But... I lost."

"You lost?"

"Yes. There is this family that managed to defeat me in my newly awakened state. The Steele family, once an insignificant speck of warriors with one Champion, but now..."

? "I've heard of their recent exploits. It is said that the Steele Family has the strongest military force in all of the Lowlands. Not in numbers but in the quality of their soldiers. Captains capable of killing Champions. Champions that could bring down Commanders... And not just regular Commanders, but people with high potential to be Cardinals!"

"Yes! Them! Tell me, Breveros. What do you know of Destiny and Fate?" Nightwing asked.

"Destiny and Fate? You mean the two Gods that dictate the flow and future and the lives of all mortals?"

"Yes. A person is usually on one side of the two. The Steele Family is Fate's Chosen Champion. And so, they will naturally be opposed to you who walk according to Destiny."

"Oppose us? So Fate and Destiny are at war!"

"Yes. It's like a war between the two sides. It's something connected from ages long ago. As for me... I am a survivor. I am neither of Fate nor of Destiny. I am what you would call a True Neutral."

"True Neutral? Are you... related to dragons? The most ancient records of the Eldrich speak of dragons."

"Not related. Most Dragons are True Neutrals. But not all True Neutrals are dragons. They can be other races or beings. Like a Giant, a gigantes, or... in my case, the two forces were trying to kill me. So now, I'm picking a side. Since I lost to the champions of Fate, and I want to kill them, I am aligning with Destiny. But, of course, I have other desires, and becoming an elite member on your side is the best option."

"So... You really had no intentions to kill me?"

"Well, honestly, I was planning to kill you but realized that you are of royal blood. Since you are the brother of the Eldrich lords, it would have certainly spelled trouble for me."

"That's true..." Breveros nodded. He stood up and glanced at the Nightwing team holding down the women.

"Will you release them from your control?" Breveros asked.

"I can. But they will still be attracted to me. It is my nature. I can tell my team also to let them go. But you have to promise not to attack."

Breveros harnessed the power and suddenly sealed the magic and force of the women.

"Is this enough?" Breveros asked.

"How bold of you. Unfortunately, you are leaving yourself vulnerable!"

"It might be because I think my luck is turning." Breveros laughed.

"I do have a question about that..." Nightwing revealed a very curious expression.

"Why are you like that? You are of Destiny but instead of helping you... Destiny has cursed you to be unlucky!" Nightwing frowned.

Breveros's expression changed.

"What? This bad luck is because of Destiny?!"

"Yes. It's bizarre. I've never seen anything like you!" f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"This... I honestly don't know! I know little about Fate and Destiny. I have felt Destiny's power in my life. But I didn't know much about the wars between the two sides! Much less why Destiny would play around with me."

"...I think I can answer that question. But I will need every detail of your life. I don't need to know of your power and all that. Just tell me what happened. Tell me the events that bad luck attacked you."

"Why would you tell me all this?" Breveros gave a suspicious glance.

"I want to be part of the Eldrich's circle. Becoming friends with the prince is the easiest way." Nightwing chuckled. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

"...At least you honest. Fine. But we shall talk after I recall the army. We can talk about it while I revoke my orders. I have to report to my brother anyway."

"What are your plans after this, anyway?"

"I can't tell you yet. Not unless you are approved of our circle."

"Alright. But in your report, do inform your brother of the Steele family. We need to move against them!"
