Ascension Of The Nephilim

Chapter 210 - For A Poison Master

Komodo Dragon.

The name was so domineering. It even had the word dragon in it!

"Tha-That is such an amazing name!" The Commander shouted.

The Champions all had an amazed expression.

"Lo-lord Kyros! You can do that?!"

Kyros was stunned.

"Do what?"

"Make dragon as a name!"

"Wait.... you guys... Don't put 'dragon' in your names? You put lizards, but not the dragon word?" Kyros was confused.

"We don't! It seems... strange to do so."

"...This may sound racist... But you guys are idiots." Kyros shook his head. He couldn't understand how the lizards never thought of such a thing.

"Don't bother. It's part of the curse." Calaminus explained.

"Curse?"

"They're not dumb. They are just cursed. Remember what I told you about the Okto-Khefali?"

"The eight-headed serpent?"

"Yes. Do you know why the one we met was called Bob, and the whelping inside this place is called Eugene?"

"It can't be! A name curse!?"

"Yes. The heretics that were led by the dragon race all had mocking names that mocked the gods and fallen. And so, the collaborative effort of the gods and fallen created a curse that attacked the most daring heretic races. So all of the scaled races, be it dragons, lizards, or serpents, are now cursed with this powerful curse."

"How petty were you gods to do that? So immature. I don't know much about your power, but I'm sure the effort to do that wasn't easy! Why go through the trouble to do that."

"There was a heretic god that learned a Time Code and named himself after my own name. He called himself Calm-my-anus."

"Wow. No wonder you guys were pissed."

"But this curse is so powerful. The lizards here have a much more potent bloodline and are closer to the true race that we cursed. Meaning they are more affected by this curse! Not unlike those in the Planeworld with such a diluted bloodline. Right now, even though you gave this Commander a name with the words dragon, the others can't think of doing the same thing!"

"They can't?!"

"Yes. It won't occur to them to do the same thing! That's the curse! They can't even imitate other things or think of a good one. The funny thing is, the stronger ones in their race know that their names suck. And those that existed and had names prior to the curse are cursed that circumstance and situation will push them to change their name or have their name changed into something stupid as well."

"Woah. So the dragon that Martha has must have a pitiful name."

"I'm willing to bet he has."

"I thank you, wise human, for such a name! I love it!" Commander Komodo Dragon thanked.

"You are an alchemist?"

"Yes, Lord Commander."

"Is it true that you can make a Paralyzing Gas Bomb?"

"Yes. It's one of the things my master taught me. I can make a De-Magic Fog Bomb too! It's one that I'm good at."

"De-Magic Fog Bomb!?" Everyone, including Gojirrha, exclaimed.

"Yes. Just give me the right items, and I can show you."

"What do you need?" Champion Middle Claw asked excitedly.

"Erm... I don't know what herbs are available here. I noticed that this place isn't the same place with the number of herbs and plants they have."

"Acolytes! Give me the list of everything we have in the storehouse!" Middle Claw shouted.

"Prepare an alchemy table. I want to see this myself." Komodo told Middle Claw.

"Yes, Commander."

The De-Magic Fog Bomb was a powerful weapon that created a mist that devoured magic energy. It can be used either as an offensive weapon by deploying it right in the middle of the enemy mages or used as a shield. If thrown in front of an army, any magic attacks shot through the fog are slowly eaten up.

This fog was very hard to disperse and would stay in the area where it was deployed for ten minutes and would gradually fade. In a battle, having mages lose the ability to attack or will be unable to attack a certain place for a time could turn the tide of a battle.

"This could work! If we have this, then the Goblin and that undead would be weakened! An undead army of animated creatures will collapse if we have one of those!" A Champion exclaimed.

The preparations were being made in haste.

Kyros was now treated as a person of great importance.

While the preparations were being made, the Commander met with Gojirrah and talked about what he heard in the Golem City.

"It seems... that you know the secret..." Komodo began.

"Yes. But the humans know better. They know that the Golem City is the center of this. And they know that that place is a dragon graveyard. They even talked about eggs!"

The Commander was silent at the report.

"The truth is, we Commanders were sent here because of certain reports that reached us a week ago. There is a mighty being that was discovered on the Green Mountain range. Deep inside those mountains is a being as strong as the Celestial Golem inside the Golem City."

"No... It's not dragons. It's a mighty serpent that is even stronger than regular dragons! That is why the golems agreed to ally with these humans because it has sensed that beast!" Gojirrah explained,

"Yes. Those humans called it an Okto-Khefali."

"So that is the name of that beast! It was huge! Its serpent body is even buried down! The stone surrounding it is also too strong, and it's quite difficult for us to break through the rocks.

Kyros was listening to the report, and he frowned. He was seated outside but positioned himself that he was close to the room where Gojirrah was.

"Serpent body? They must have found only one of its heads. Gojirrah, don't say anything. That information might hasten their search."

"Because of that beast, we hope to grow strong enough to fight that monstrous golem. About eighty to ninety percent of our forces are likely to be sacrificed once that old golem moves. But with this Okto-Khefali, it may be possible to fight that golem without making such sacrifices! It's only a matter of time for it to awaken. Because of this, the Lizard Lords were sent here. And I am one of them."

"Commander, how many Lizard Lords are here?"

"More are coming. Every Lizard kingdom in Planet Lizard is preparing to send their forces in here. Our kingdom can only afford to send me, a Commander. But rumor has it that a Cardinal is trying to make an entry."

Kyros raised his brow.

"A Cardinal? I really have to level up if that's the case. If any level fifty freaks arrive, my family will be in danger. And I'm sure more than one Cardinal will enter this place." Kyros calculated.

"Oh? You're finally becoming more serious in increasing your level?"

"I need to reach level twenty. That's the minimum level requirement for a poison master, right?
