"The egg's cracking!?" Curse reacted before I could.
"What's this?! Eh?! So much light and… darkness?! Is this what a Nephilim uses?!" Beelzebub cried.
Before I could do anything else, I was suddenly cornered by the giant golem spider. I cannot even analyze its stats either, but this thing is surely around Tier 6 in power, or beyond that!
The spider opened its jaws, nearing closer to crush me!
What do I do?! Do I use Ward again and then attack it back? But without sunlight I cannot do much…!
Suddenly, the entire egg blew up into pieces, an arc of light and darkness erupted from my back, as something, a silhouette appeared atop the ceiling.
The spider itself panicked, walking back in fear of what had hatched from the egg… wait a second, those emotionless golems actually fear something?!
"[THE NEPHILIM HAS HATCHED]… [BEGINNING MASS DESTRUCTION PROTOCOL]!"
Suddenly, the enormous spider shapeshifter, turning into some sort of weird item I've never seen before, a cannon, with many other cannons attached to it, pointing at the entity that was floating in the ceiling, covered by darkness and light.
F L A A A A A A S S S S S H H H H!!!
Ten red beams were unleashed at the same time, the lasers reached the floating figure and exploded at the same time. The entire room once more shook wildly. For a moment, I thought that little thing was done for.
However, as the smoke dissipated, its figure was finally revealed. And it was… completely alright?! It looked down upon the golem as if it were nothing. And to boot, it wasn't some monster-shaped creature.
It resembled a human. It had fair white skin, and short blonde hair, with the other half being purple. His? Or her face was beautiful, flawless even, I couldn't tell his or her sex because I couldn't even see any of the two between their legs.
Their golden eye and red eye flashed brightly. The creature raised its arms into the sky, as two wings stretched from its back, a feathered wing, and a demonic-looking wing. Holy and demonic energy gathered within its hands.
And with the soft and female-like voice, it chanted something.
FLAAAAAAAAASSSHHHH!!!
The only thing I saw was light and darkness endlessly stretching around the room.
The last thing I saw from the golem was how it turned into absolute dust.
But somehow, we were spared from the destruction…
When I opened my eyes again, everything was in peace.
"What just happened? Ah… Eh?!"
And the Nephilim greeted me. A beautiful and serene smile greeted my sight, it was a rather beautiful and enchanting one.
"Hello, I am glad you're okay. I was worried…"
"Huh? Ah! You can talk?! W-Who are you?!"
I quickly jumped away, feeling completely freaked out.
"Did you hatch from the egg?! How?"
The Nephilim sighed a bit.
"My internal energy is going down dramatically… I cannot… speak… much… further… Ah…"
Suddenly, the Nephilim fell to its knees, gasping for air.
I noticed the runes around the Nephilim's skin began losing their light.
Whatever was happening to him or her, it was bad!
"Ahhh… I might go to sleep for a long time… I… I wish I could have spoken… a bit… more…"
I touched the Nephilim's shoulder, imbuing my Mana into the entity's body.
"Ah… Mana? So pure… Yet, Mana is not enough to- Hm? This is too much Mana…"
"I have… as much as you want!" I said with a smile.
After a few minutes, Nephilim finally restored the energy that it had lost.
"So what's your name? And are you a boy… or a girl?" I wondered while tilting my head.
"Name… I have none." Nephilim sighed. "Boy or girl? I don't know such concepts. I am… a weapon."
"W-Weapon?!" I asked in surprise.
"I was made to destroy the world…" Nephilim's golden and red eye looked at me with a sorrowful expression.
"Huh? Ah?! W-Wait… hold on a moment, I need to process this…" I sighed while gasping for air.
Suddenly, I noticed the body structure of Nephilim was strange.
Several areas of the body had strange metallic lines.
The shoulders had joints too, and so the hips.
Some areas were less noticeable than others though, but it felt like Nephilim's body was both organic and… inorganic.
Something between the golems I just fought, and my own flesh and blood.
"What would you feel comfortable with? I can't really go around calling you with so many pronouns, it will wrack my brains." I sighed.
"Well… I don't know. What's the difference between a boy and a girl?" Nephilim wondered.
"I don't know but you're so cute looking you could be a girl." I said with a smile.
"Girl… is a girl you?" Nephilim asked.
"Yeah, I'm a girl!" I said with a smile.
"I want to be like you… So I can be girl as well?" Nephilim asked.
"Sure, sure. You could also pass for a cute boy too if you wanted…" I laughed.
"Ooh… Girl…" Nephilim smiled a bit. "Can you teach me more?" She asked.
"S-Sure… Actually, I came here with many friends. Can we get out and look for them?" I asked.
"Friends…" She said. "What are they?"
"People you hold very dear, they're like family, and you simply can't live without them." I smiled back at her.
Her curiosity was endearing.
Nephilim's eyes shone brightly as she heard my words.
"I see…" She said with a sweet voice, innocent and wanting to know more. "I've never gone outside before… I only know I was created, and then I… rampaged. After that, they sealed me here."
"They as the gods?" I wondered.
"Gods? Is that their name?" She asked.
"She feels… like me." Alice whispered to me. "Maybe she was also some sort of failure to them, something broken they didn't wanted anymore, that they simply disposed of…"
