Chapter 977 Eeshoo

Chapter 977 Eeshoo

Humans in any civilization would always have a 'god' figure in their lives. It gives a sense of both security and fulfillment. These figures were loved, feared, and worshiped by them.

Nephilim was considered such figures among the gods.

Within the three boundless realms that were under the control of humanity, there were only 11 other factions that could be considered comparable to these Nephilims.

They held absolute control over 8 galaxies and over 100 human-occupied worlds that covered all of the three categories - low, middle, and high. With that massive territory they possessed, there were approximately over one trillion humans living under their reign.

Therefore, it was not an uncommon occurrence when a new descendant was born among the Nephilim bloodline, millions would kneel in worship. Or, in some other case, millions would be slain in order to be offered as sacrifices.

However, not all Nephilim descendants were treated the same.

The faction adopted the caste system to make sure the resources were distributed to those who were gifted and the authority would fall to those who were worthy. As for the Nephilim, their caste system was divided into and composed by three castes.

The Highborn, those born from those amongst the royalty; the Lowborn, namely those born from mixed marriages with other families; and lastly, the Outsider. They were people who were not related by blood to the family and were instead invited to join as members.

Blood always plays a major part in any succession in ruling the faction, especially so to make sure that the one who took control was those of the same kin. As such, no Lowborn would ever be compared nor comparable to a Highborn, except for those rare, very special circumstances.

And Eeshoo was one such circumstance.

A child prodigy who broke the limit of an aptitude meter.

"Congratulations, the boy has the superior SS aptitude talent!"

When his extraordinary monstrous talent was discovered by the higher-ups of the Nephilim, Eeshoo's life underwent a complete and earth-shattering change. He and his whole family were quickly pulled out of whatever lives they had before, leaving everything behind them, friends or relatives as they landed amongst the royalty, given the best of everything the faction can offer.

The change came so abruptly, that Eeshoo has no real choice for his lifes, all were prepared for him and he has to follow. To the point that he was quickly paired and matched with a suitable partner. It was a girl his own age who later came in the same year into the privileged class of the Magus Academy.

Jinkan Nephilim, the one considered as the highest rank among the Highborn. She was, in fact, a princess and the twelfth in line of the successor to the Nephilim throne.

With their noble status and extraordinary talent, the two swiftly became the prominent young couple of the Nephilim. Both of them aimed to bring glory to the faction and took their place amongst the most exalted.

[Eeshoo Nephilim]

[Aptitude: SS]

[Battle power: 288]

[Spirit force: 1000]

[Light Spirit: 6 Pillar]

[Sun Spirit: 3 Pillar]

With the weight and expectations of the entire faction on his shoulder, Eeshoo manages to defy all odds and accomplish miracles at any corners, one such as harnessing the power of a sun into his spirit core.

He is the genius, the prodigy of the generation.

Flying above the yellow plains, his eyes facing the 100-meter-tall abomination looming over the sky, Eeshoo used his Nephilim sacred Divine technique. This was a technique that was only handed down to the Nephilim's Highborns.

[Angelic Descent]

His body swiftly began to be basked in a shimmering golden light, and one by one, golden shining wings formed on his back.

One… two… three… four pairs of wings appeared on Eeshoo's back before he completed his transformation.

[Activated stage 4, Angelic Descent]

[Battle power increased by 80]

[Spirit force boost by 400]

Stage 4 was something that could only be done by a magus level, but the genius could easily activate it.

In an instant, Eeshoo had transformed into an embodiment of god with four pairs of radiant majestic wings visible on his back.

He then took out 32 pieces of high-grade [Soaring Shuttle], and with the great boost [Angelic Descent] bestowed and the battle arts mastered by all the Nephilim descendants, all 32 artifacts flew under his complete command. It was as if they were an extension of his own hand.

Before charging in with his artifacts, while the Abyss creature was staring at him, the Nephilim genius started off his assault by casting the spell [Radiating Blast].

A ball of light appeared in front of Eeshoo, before rapidly expanding and piercing all eyes that saw it, taking away their sight for a period of time. And just like that, the golden Royal Centipede as well as the hundreds of thousands Abyss creatures on the ground and the sky went blind.

With all preparations set, Eeshoo's figure immediately plunged rapidly diving from the sky towards the horde of Abyss creatures. Surrounded by the 32 Soaring Shuttles constantly revolving around his body, everything he passed by and near was crushed and destroyed into smithereens.

When he was 10 meters near the Royal Centipede, he performed a quick curve movement in the air while his Soaring Shuttles bombarded the creature's golden carapace without mercy.

The relentless attacks caused multiple cracks on the creature's carapace, and once again made the creature screech in pain. It was of course trying to retaliate, but by that time Eeshoo had already flown away from it.

In the second round, the Royal Centipede, who was annoyed that its attacks were unsuccessful, attacked Eeshoo using its psyche attack. Unfortunately, Eeshoo had predicted its action and cast the [Bright Shield] spell. A translucent barrier enveloped his figure, and the psyche attack that came into contact with it only made slight ripples before dissipating.

From the top of the northern gate of Platoon 1 base, the six acolytes watched in amazement as the Nephilim prodigy played the huge Abyss creature in the palm of his hand.

Eeshoo kept his distance while sending out enough attacks to keep the creature engaged with him. This was Eeshoo's way of buying time.

"We might not really need to fight, after all. Man's got it," said Arcana with apparent glee.

Jinkan, however, didn't seem to be thinking the same thing as she kept her attention on the situation. As expected, moments later, the Royal Centipede let out a loud shriek and suddenly all the Flyers and Reavers in the area turned their courses towards the Nephilim genius.

Seeing this, Jinkan said,

"Prepare yourself, do as planned!"
