Ascension of the Nephilim

The Dark Dependents and the Light Grown would often use powerful restrictive spells that they placed on slaves.

The Light Grown uses numerous methods and takes up the power of Vows. This was to be willingly taken by the vowing party as they willingly submit to another.

The Dark Dependents have numerous methods which enslave the other person and are more forceful in enacting theirs.

As the Daughter of Ampelos, Riesling naturally could perform the [Soul-Binding Vine], a constrictive spell that latches and chokes the soul of the constrained one causing great pain and even death should the recipient not fulfill his bargain.

Reisling\'s eyes widened as such an offer was difficult to pass! However, if Nightwing allowed the Soul Binding Vine to be coiled around his soul, Resiling could ensure that no lies would be made! What mystery was there that Nightwing would be willing to have such bindings?

"You... are willing to take the Soul Binding Vine?"

"Yes. The conditions are that I must fulfill my promise. Nothing more, nothing less. I vow to give you enough power to rise against the Highwind family and even conquer Lord Impyernos. I will do so with the utmost effort, and I vow never to betray or kill you. In return, you help me turn the Bolerax Family against Breveros. You will also help me flee from the battle of Destiny and Fate. If I don\'t do my part, the Soul Binding Vine will kill me. If you don\'t do your part, then the vine dies. That will give me a chance to betray you and sell you out. Of course, it won\'t come to that because you can help me." Nightwing smiled.

Reisling was quiet and began to think.

"The Soul Binding Vine is not easy to destroy. Unless his soul can cut these vines with a powerful heritage of a god, he would never break free... The Fang and the Charm can\'t do anything to it... And even his powers in the light. This means he must be serious with his offer. No! More than serious, he\'s desperate!" Reisling sneered.

"He wants to live, and Breveros is making it difficult for him! It must be true. The horrors I see that he faced are quite treacherous. That Mountain Deity should be more powerful than a Crown. That arm seemed to have the might of a Cherubim!" She recalled the arm that Nightwing took. The blood of his master must have stopped the arm from harming or killing him and halted the attack.

"...Is Breveros so unlucky that Fleshy Golem can be free?" Reisling then realized the dangers of Breveros.

"So slow. You finally understand why I\'m so desperate. That\'s exactly what I\'m scared of. If that fleshy golem breaks free, it can kill and make your invasion even more problematic! Don\'t you understand why it dares not emerge?"

"Wait! Is it as strong as a Celestial?! The limitations of the Midlands forbid power to appear above a certain level! Are you saying that it\'s that strong?!"

"Who do you think my master was? A mere vampire? The Fanged Fallen\'s daughter is obviously equipped with powers and has prisoners far beyond your comprehension! I survived because of Charm! She could not kill me, and she fled! So I want to hurry and leave here before things turn wild. I will probably take Breveros with me. He will become a strong True Neutral. But right now, he has fears and limitations that hold us back from completely making him sever the ties of Destiny and his family! And time is not what I have!"

"I see... Then I accept your offer! Let us make a deal, then! I shall accept your words, vows, and my vine\'s limitations! Then, by the power of Ampelos, I set the laws of the binding vine!" The Cardinal woman moved and offered her hand. Vines were appearing around her hand.

Strange green words were appearing, and it was the conditions of the contract as the soul-binding vine began to write the laws. Finally, the proposed laws of Nightwing appeared.

Nightwing read the terms and conditions and was satisfied with the laws. Reisling did not alter or change anything and reached out his hand to touch the Cardinal woman.

The moment they touched, the Cardinal woman felt a strange sensation affecting Resiling.

The power of lust was amplified, and Reisling tried to break away.

"What are you doing? Complete the spell!" Nightwing frowned.

Reisling cursed. She did not expect the power of lust to be so potent.

"[Soul Binding Vine: Meinate]!" Reisling shouted as the vine coursed toward Nightwing\'s soul.

Nightwing sensed the soul vine inside.

But unknown to Reisling, the Soul Seed of Nightwing trembled and became hungry. Nightwing had noticed his foundations and had discerned what Kyros had done. Luigi\'s Soul Seed form was also inside him, allowing him to wield the darkness easily.

But the Soul Seed of Kyros was that made from plants. The Soul Binding Vine was food to it.

"This Soul Vine should be nourishment and can help me solidify the Soul Seed. Unfortunately, the mystery of my Trinity limits me from harnessing the powers of all my soul. If I can create a vine that will create a link from the Darkness region where the Soul Seed was planted and allow me to connect with my human self. This will further weaken the remaining curses in my body and allow me to harness the neutral soul!" Nightwing smiled. He knew that the real body of the True Vine was at least a Chruebim. Such a powerful cultivator will surely grant him a strong vine!

The vine wrapped around Nightwing\'s soul.

"It\'s a bit big... I may need to cut this off later on... Thankfully, the power of True Cut can easily be used to sever this." Nightwing hid his smile and revealed a pained expression.

The soul binding was complete.

Reisling tried to pull back her arm, but Nightwing did not let go.

"What are you doing?! Unhand me now!"

"Little vine, do you really think I would be comfortable with you holding such power over me? I will use your lust against you! This is my insurance of surviving this in case you thinking of betraying me!"

"Stop! If you kiss me, you will be killing me! The laws prohibit you from killing me, and I to kill you!"

"Yes. But you did allow laws for us to hurt each other. For example, the power of Charm will rage if I kiss or caress... But what if I attack?"

With a swift motion, Nightwing threw his palms out, grabbed the Cardinal\'s chest, and forced her down with great strength.

BOOM!

The ground trembled as the woman was pinned down.

But instead of pain, the Cardinal and Reisling felt ecstasy.

"AHHHH!"

"I can probably only do several attacks until those two realize what I\'m doing. So I guess I\'ll make it count!" Nightwing smiled and opened his mouth as he bit down on the other side of the Cardinal\'s chest.

The \'battle\' continued and escalated as the Cardinal was being thrown and struck in the most indecent of places.

The attacks had power, but only below a Cardinal\'s defenses. As the fight continued, the Cardinal woman lost the number of times that blow caused her to tremble. But not in pain.

Nightwing could sense the hatred of Mechiel and Scarlet and stopped.

"...Hm. So they can sense it if I ever feel something. Interesting. The curse is on me and not on the women." Nightwing noted.

"Thank you for your time. I hope you will do your best. Breveros will soon call you up there. Be sure to do something about it. Anything to help me but push Breveros away, do it. I trust you know what to do." Nightwing left.

The Cardinal woman couldn\'t move.

But above the Planseworld. The real body of Reisling was also affected.

The Tendrils she sent could choose to relay or not relay the sensations and pain.

But Reisling was too weak to resist. She allowed all sensations to be passed on. While she wanted it to stop, she never found the strength to resist it.

She quivered from her throne as she gazed on. She was able to prevent herself from making any sounds, but her passion and desire were building.

Her anger was also to the brim at what the Incubus did to her.

"Why are you looking like that?" One of the Eldrich seated on another throne asked.

The group of Eldrich was once more convening. Normally, the other factions took no interest in the plans of Bolerax. Many factions were against entering the Planesworld once more. But when they learned that Lord Impyernos was alive and about the plan to raid the place, many began to agree, and these Eldrich Nobles were now waiting to meet with Bolerax.

"Elders... I am annoyed. I\'ve been reviewing all the information so far. And my eyes have realized that we have been acting with severe limitations. So why is this Breveros still allowed to hold power?" Reisling challenged.
