Chapter 1261 The Prophesied King

Everything would have been perfect if the Oracle of the Delphi would have kept her mouth shut. The Oracle of Delphi gave the prophecy that a king would rule for the winged beings that control light and darkness. This king would be born from two different beings that reign over light and darkness. The prophecy goes like this:

"When the sky becomes unsure whether it is day or night. When the beings that are not of this world comes to our own land. A ruler that would rule the winged people shall be born. A ruler that is born using the brightest of light and the deepest darkness.

The ruler will rule the winged people to their peak. Dethrone the unworthy god that separated them. Unite the selfish beings that rests in the depths of the earth. The ruler shall be the one that leads them to greatness."

Due to the fact that the Nephilim were exposed to the world, the angels ruled by the Goddess of Light Luminaria was ordered to erase them from existence. The Goddess of Light Luminaria also ordered the death of the angels that copulated with those that became devils. She feared that the angels that she created will become tools for others.

She did not want her perfect creations to be ruled by those that have the blood of a defect. All the Nephilims got erased from existence but their souls where their power was safe. Fearing that the angels will still hunt the souls of the reincarnated Nephilim, Samael made a promise with the Goddess of Life Gaea and the God of Death Abaddon to seal the soul of the pitiful Nephilim.

The Twin Gods accepted in return for the powerful Asmodian Angel to fight against the dark gods. Samael agreed with the deal as even he knows that his child will never reincarnate should the evil dark gods take hold of the world. He wanted his children and the children of others to have a future.

What Samael did not know is that only his second child, Lilith, would be the sole survivor of the Nephilim race. To make matters worse, she was cursed by the Goddess of Light Luminaria to never be able to bear children. The one called the First Nephilim became the only Nephilim in existence that is until now.

Lilith could not believe that her brother has finally reincarnated. She would have hugged him, but she knows that her brother does not know her. They only shared a womb in his first life after all. She will take the time to get to know him and how his exploits were when he was a human.

"If that is the case then make sure to take good care of him. Or at least cast a cloaking mechanism for him when he goes out to train. The Silver City has also been unsealed forcefully by the angels that were not sealed within.

They were able to bide their time in getting the gates to the Silver City to weaken. I am pretty sure that they have not forgotten the prophecy, but the most dangerous person would be that Mikhail guy. He wanted to obtain Ark's egg at any cost when he found out that he was the Chosen Nephilim." Adrian stated immediately as he did not want a babysitting quest.

"The Ancestor is correct. Do not worry because I will be here to protect my brother. I shall accompany him when he goes out to regain his strength or even become more powerful. Now that Mikhail is free, I believe that he will hunt my brother down at any cost." Lilith stated.

"Why is that? What did I do to him?" Ark asked as he suddenly inserted himself into the conversation.

"Mikhail has the ability to absorb anything that has the element of light. Our father would not have perished if he did not weaken him by absorbing some of his power. The angels that were under our father were there to see what transpired.

All the subordinate angels of our father were also hunted down like wild animals just to make sure that the truth will not come to light. Unfortunately for Mikhail, I was able to learn of the truth which sparked the first battle of the angels and devils. Angels and devils went to war despite the threat of the dark gods on the horizon.

Which is why you must be very careful brother. Mikhail could absorb the part of you that has the King of Light. If he does, then he will become akin to a God of Light as he already absorbed some of father's light energy." Lilith stated as she clung to Ark which the latter avoided.

Lilith was a bit dismayed that her brother does not want some cuddle time, but she must be patient. She knows that he does not see her as a sister just yet since this should be their first bonding session. Still, she believed that the souls their share as twins will be able to easily bridge that gap.

"Good luck with that Ark. I need to do some things before the guild war. Make sure to cheer for our side. Bye, guys!" Adrian stated as he immediately left when he got his reward.

The others also said their farewells to Adrian, but they felt that he was so impatient as if he wanted to escape from them. Pana and Basil remained at Ark's side as he will be going to trained by Lilith. He needed to master the new skills and abilities that he gained upon turning into a Nephilim. Ark is excited because he got skills that are called the King of Light and King of Darkness.

These two Transcendent tier skills are basically giving Ark wings when it comes to light and darkness elemental spells and abilities which he is already using. This will make him become a powerful magic warrior if he perfectly weaves his spell casting with his swordsmanship. Although the two skills are powerful, it is still sealed because Ark is weak.

Lilith told Ark that he will naturally unseal the power of his skills when he becomes powerful. How powerful or what the requirements are should be something only Ark must find out. Ark is not the brightest when it comes to this, but he is thankful for his friends that could share their opinion to him.

Ark knew that he could unseal this skill with his friend's help. Something also washed away at the envy that Ark feels about his friends becoming more powerful than him. He now views himself as equal to them and would not be left behind later.

Ark is confident that he could now support himself with the game because he has become powerful. He has a unique skill that is only given to Nephilim after all. The unique tier skill called Born of Light and Darkness.

-----

-  All light and darkness elemental skills will have faster progress in mastery.

Restriction: This skill can only be used by the Nephilim race which is a race that is the union of an angel and another race or a devil with another race.

-----

From the restriction of the skill, one could tell that the Nephilim race is not just a mixture of angel and devils but a mixture of any of them with another race. Ark also received a quest to unlock the Nephilim race to all the players, but he needed to get the Crown of Heaven and gain the Crown of Hell for that to happen.
