Ascension of the Nephilim-Chapter 462 Conquering A Kingdom In Three Weeks

Angelian listened to the meeting and was shocked at the discussions of the group.

She later found out that the two infamous personalities were on the verge of death and were saved by Nightwing as the memories of those that died fed him vast information.

Meister Strongholgen and the Emperor Assassin whose real name was an unimpressive 'Benjie Boy' turned out to have served Nightwing when he saved them. The two had allied and were attempting to leave the lands as they found out about a large conspiracy and attempted to alert the Highlands.

Commander Tyrs and the other Captain who survived Nightwing's terror, Dario, had been actively spreading public information about various truths within the region. Their accusations led to immediate wars and some of the kingdoms instantly found and tried the persons involved in deals with the Eldrich.

Eldrich Charsik was known throughout all the kingdoms and while some of the kingdoms managed to resist the accusations as the Eldrich had people on the higher-ups, some had led to instant death.

"All the evidence and proofs that you have found in Menks's memories allowed us to topple the chaos in the kingdom. And the Highlands are also trying to gain entry and will pose a problem to our plan of conquering everything."

"The key is Angelian. No doubt, your father is trying to come here." Nightwing spoke.

"Angelian, your father will not believe me, a Fanged Fallen to be innocent or good. And at my current level, anything at the strength of Conquerors can easily kill me. Within the whole Midlands, there are seven Conquerors, and two of them are within this region. But our advantage is that they will be troubled with the chaos that they bring and will allow us to move on our own. However, Angelian, you have to inform your father that you are alive and that the mission you have set must continue without their assistance." Nightwing explained.

Angelian was stunned.

"You just said… that you are weaker than my father's current might. Why then do you toss them away? Won't it be easier for you to have them fight your battles?"

"If they come in here, the Eldrich will simply retreat. You will keep the Planesworld safe, but this Eldrich plans to awaken and activate several powerful portals that connect the Planesworld to many worlds. The Planesworld is at a crossroads between many battles. In the coming wars of Gods and Fallen, this place will be the key. The side that controls these portals gains tremendous advantage." Nightwing explained.

"So that's why you are aiming to infiltrate the Eldrich and appear as their ally…" Angelian nodded.

"Right. I know this sounds confusing to you. But I spared you and even took your curses to help you believe that I am not the Fanged Fallen that will bring a vampire apocalypse. If you haven't noticed, I even bestowed to you, vampiric powers with no strings attached."

Angelian glanced at his arm.

"I do feel stronger now…"

"Blood will nourish you as a vampire. You gain its advantages and none of its weaknesses. The Defender Dragon has a powerful heritage. But I am a Fanged Fallen. You would be the first Dragonic Vampire Ancient."

"A Vampire Ancient…?!" Angelian was stunned.

"Yes. I hope you trust me now." Nightwing smiled.

"Don't be so impressed. He also did that so he can bow chika wow wow you." The other man chuckled and made several strange gestures that seemed undignified. Angelian quickly realized that this last, unfamiliar man was the slime in human form.

Angelian blushed as she kept turning away from Luigi's excessive actions.

"Ma… Master Nightwing, please tell your subordinate to not say these… strange things." Angelian bowed.

"Well, he's not lying. Frankly, if you would agree, I was thinking of settling down and having you as my wife." 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Angelian's ears turned red.

"But don't worry. Despite my nature as a Fanged Fallen with the power of an Incubus, I'll still leave it to you and would prefer a more natural progression of our relationship. The gift that I gave you was meant to impress you and frankly make you like me. Nevertheless, I won't hold any grudges or take it away should you say no to my advances. However…" Nightwing's expression turned serious.

"I will demand you to serve me in this battle. That is all."

Angelian felt a powerful surge that somehow frightened her.

Suddenly, the surge of power disappeared.

"I don't care for what future plans you all have. I have never demanded you to make any vows. But you will fight with me in this battle. Keep in mind, what I told you. This battle involves Beginning and End. It is a battle that extends through time itself. I had to seal and awaken myself to be born in this era. The power that hides me from the senses of Beginning and End is my advantage. With it, I plan to make myself appear to be a servant of Destiny. A traitor of some sort. And that's why I can't have your father, Angelian, enter this place. Do you understand, Angelian?"

"I… I think I do. My father will force the Eldrich to retreat. But no matter what he does, he cannot enter the land of the Eldrich. You can because of your innate dark power."

"Exactly. So he has to be a constant threat that will make everyone wary and give us the freedom to do our respective missions."

"What exactly is our current mission? I understand the long-term plan. And lord Nightwing, what do you plan to do to the kingdom I serve?" Commander Tyrs finally asked.

"Your kingdom is on the brink of collapse. A civil is likely as all those who serve the Eldrich knowingly, or unknowingly will fight."

"So we will save our kingdom?"

"No. We will let it fall." Nightwing smiled.

"Let it fall?!" Dario was stunned.

"Yes. Take all your loved ones and relatives and get them out of there. I will force Eldrich's forces to move and take over the kingdom. We make them think they win. But then, we destroy the kingdom. At the height of their victory, more necromancers or those who are more trusted by Eldrich will appear and take their positions there, and that is when we destroy the place."

"What of... my king...?" Tyrs asked.

"For now, we have no evidence to suggest he is used by the Eldrich. If he remains innocent after our investigation, then they will all join us. My power, Mysterion is meant to hide. A kingdom will vanish and fall, but its people, the people not tempted by the Eldrich will become my people."

"I see... Ingenious. The eldrich will lose a kingdom and will force many of them to take drastic steps to claim it. But as for us... we suddenly will have our own kingdom."

"Yes. The blood of the traitors will be used to strengthen Fortressvania. This means you will not just witness, but take charge of a great massacre far more terrifying than the ones you have experienced. Tyrs, Dario, and Angelian. I intentionally set up horrifyingly cruel means of taking over. The Eldrich will only think, that a new player is joining the land grab. And so, instead of fighting me, they will invite me. What are your thoughts on this matter, Tyrs? Dario?"

The two glanced at each other.

"I will be destroying this kingdom of yours. Your loved ones will naturally be saved. But they must serve me and be part of my kingdom."

"...Truth be told, my loyalty to my kingdom has faded. When faced with a grand scheme and understanding an even more terrifying and greater cause to serve, these mere... allegiances seem rather petty." Tyrs sighed.

"I feel the same way, master Nightwing."

"You call me master, yet none of you have ever made a vow to serve me. The choice still lies with you. You may choose to remain free or choose to serve me. Shall you refuse, nothing will change?"

"We chose servitude." Everyone bowed and answered. Even Meister Strongholgen and the Emperor Assassin, Benjie Boy, bowed.

Nightwing smiled but was surprised to see Angelian bow as well!

"How bold of all of you to do this. Are you certain? Are you not worried that I, an Incubus am simply using charm to lure you and will be a cruel master?"

"...You allow Luigi to serve you freely and allow him to make odd comments. If you were a cruel master, we would have seen that ages ago."

"...Good point." Nightwing sighed.

"Bow chika wow wow," Luigi added.

"Anyway... I can't mark you in servitude yet. I'm not sure why, but I sense that my power has already called out servants. Perhaps somewhere in this Planesworld, are my allies sealed and kept hidden for many millenniums. But, if we offer the blood of half a kingdom, I should have the strength to mark you as my Coven. We will assume the identity of a powerful vampire. Have there been any reports of a mighty vampire in this region? Using a new identity will be too suspicious."

? "No... The Midlands despise the Vampire. Only those of the Lowlands would have vampires, but they are quite weak." Tyrs shook his head.

"Well... there was that news... Princess Listrel Protos Endoxos claims that she fought a powerful vampire who almost killed her!" Angelian recalled news that her father told her a few weeks back.

"Perfect! A vampire that defeated the Princess of the Planesworld! Then let it be him! There can be no other! He will be my mysterious identity! The perfect scapegoat! Since he is in the Lowlands, he will not hear of the things happening in the Uninvolved region." 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

"Erm... Are you... sure? I've heard of this... vampire!" Emperor Assassin asked.

"Yes! Is there anyone as strong as this vampire?'

"None."

"Then it can only be him! What domineering name does this Vampire possess?"

"I don't know about domineering. But he has a name worse than I, Benjie Boy. He is called... Cracky Batcheeks. The self-proclaimed Vampire Ancestor of the Coven on Crack."

"What the fragment?!"
