>>>as an ancient world adversary is uncovered
That’s the story hook and the inciting incident that kicks off the plot so it needs to be described more clearly.? ?What is so unique about the adversary that makes it of dramatic interest, that makes it worthy of being a “horrible” being in a horror flick?

What makes the cop stand out? Does he/she change during the course of the investigation to become less so?? Does being straight laced affect the investigation? What does this trait bring to the table? Cheers! Craig

The problem you’re always going to face is that, without getting what you have in your head across effectively in your logline, the reader will have no choice but to make comparisons with existing material.
You clearly have knowledge of Nephilims and how you want this character to act, look, move, etc BUT if we don’t then it makes zero difference. As I said previously, if the reader doesn’t know what a Nephilim is, keeping in mind that your entire story is focussed around one, you’re always going to have issues. This creature is the one thing that will set your story apart from others and if you’re vague about it then everyone is simply going to imagine something that’s already been done. All the best monsters stand out from the crowd. They’re unique and they’d be described in such a way that creates a unique image in the reader’s head:
Hulking patchwork of human parts.?Giant ape.?Man eating shark.?Intellectual and charismatic cannibal.?Creepy clown demon. I bet all of these immediately suggest a movie monster to you.
Simply put, make sure the reader’s vision is as close to yours as possible.
