Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Interrupted by Randoms Chapter 100: Interrupted by Randoms Thalia felt incredibly different now that Lucivar was in casual clothes.

It made this feel more like an actual date.

She stole a glance at Lucivar checking to see if he also felt the same thing but he wasn’t, he was the same.

He was still sightseeing with great interest-finding the mall’s nuances, more interesting than the people around or even her.

Annoyed, Thalia brought Lucivar to an arcade game.

Doing something physical would definitely calm her nerves or else she’ll go insane.

“Are we really doing this?” Lucivar asked, walking beside Thalia as she went to buy credits on the counter to start playing.

He looked around the place-and found the people here seemed to be having fun, but they looked-childish.

“Games are for children, I stopped playing games when I was seven” “You sound like an old man,” Thalia sneered.

“I guess games in suburbs only include a ball” Upon hearing this, Lucivar clicked his tongue in displeasure.

‘Fine, I’ll go with the flow.

I’ll pretend that I’m having fun to coax her,’ He thought and nodded.

Once they got their card, both of them moved to see the games.

But Lucivar suddenly stopped when he saw another room right beside the counter.

From the window on the door, he saw multiple weird items inside.

“What’s this place?” He pointed through the window.

“Hmm?” Thalia stopped, and spared a glance at the room.

“Oh, it’s the room to exchange our points for anything inside.

We play the games here and based on how we do or luck-we will get points that could be exchanged there” Peeking inside, Thalia was pleasantly surprised, “It even has the newest phone?

Cool” Continuing from there, the two settled at the air hockey table game.

“Grab the paddle and try scoring, the one who scored the highest wins” “Alright,” Once Thalia swiped the card, the table blew air and a puck came out to Lucivar’s side.

Seeing how expectant Thalia was, Lucivar sighed and hit the puck lightly.

He watched in a relaxed manner as Thalia bent down and prepared to hit back.

But as opposed to having the same manner, she hit the puck as hard as she could.

Her hit made the puck, turn into a blur-and before Lucivar understood what happened, a robotic voice echoed.

[Score!

Score!

Score!] Covering her mouth, Thalia laughed and pointed at him cheekily, “You didn’t even react” “What the…” Lucivar was stunned as the puck came out again.

Bending down again, Thalia smiled and shot a cheeky brow lift, taunting the loser.

“Fine,” Lucivar exhaled roughly.

“I’ll take it seriously now” …

[Score!

Score!

Score!] [Time’s up!

Blue team winner!

Score: 5-0] “Woohoo~!” Thalia raised both her hands in triumph, cheering loudly.

On the other hand, Lucivar was devastated-he was on the other side contemplating his life as he was beaten thoroughly without having a single chance.

He tried his best but once she used her secret move-‘The Bumper’ where she ricocheted the puck to score goals, Lucivar was overpowered.

“Let’s go play that one!” Thalia pointed and ran in that direction.

Lucivar raised his gaze and saw Sha appear, sitting on the side and looking at Thalia’s back.

She then turned back towards Lucivar and smirked, “Are you going to let her win?” “Of course, not.

I’ll win in the next game,” He replied and headed away.

In the next hour, everything was a blurry defeat for Lucivar.

Basketball game.

“I beat the high score!

Wow, Lucivar…

you suck, you didn’t even pass the first stage” Racing game.

“You ended at last place?

You do know the last racer is supposed to let you win no matter what but you somehow lost against it?

A total bot?” Fighting game.

Defeated without landing a single hit, 3-0.

Shooting game.

Becoming a burden and getting killed by a dinosaur.

It was a streak of Lucivar being beaten and teased, the entire hour was torture but Thalia on the other hand felt incredibly refreshed.

She was not tense anymore, and was even laughing aloud without restraint.

Having some credits left, Thalia scoured the other side of the arcade game.

Her eyes then landed on a machine called, ‘Boxer Pow Pow!’.

“Oh!

I think you’d like this one” She said as she went over to the machine.

She swiped the card and a punching bag came out.

Pivoting around, Thalia gestured towards the punching bag, “All you need to do is punch it” “I’ll go first,” She said and moved back a little, preparing to punch it.

Flexing her arm, Thalia swung her fist and landed a perfect punch that rattled the machine.

Calculating her score, the numbers climbed and settled at 1,317.

“Not quite a high score, eh…?” Thalia muttered, the high score was at 1,498.

Even though she was aiming for the high score-it seemed reaching the high score was still out of her reach.

She couldn’t use her ether as the machine wasn’t made for that, there was another one that could sustain Hybrids but not this one.

One could only use raw strength and as a Hybrid herself, her raw strength was quite high.

Moving to the side, she turned to Luivar, “Like that, you can tr-” Bam!

Not even waiting for Thalia to finish her sentence-Lucivar already punched the bag with his full might-creating an echoing banging sound.

It was so loud that the people around turned to look at what happened.

[Expert boxer here!

A high score!

Good work, champ!] “Raaarggh!!” Lucivar shouted and punched the air.

“I beat you!

I got the high fucking score!!” Seeing this, Thalia was stunned.

But her lips soon curled into a wry smile, it seemed she pushed Lucivar around too much.

All of those defeats made him frustrated and riled his competitive instinct.

‘I guess bum or not, he’s still a guy’ Thalia thought, tapping Lucivar’s back to calm him down.

She even turned to the onlookers who were surprised and gave them a light bow.

Lucivar hit the punching bag so hard it echoed-he even settled a new high score at 1,800.

As opposed to stopping, Lucivar grabbed the card from Thalia’s hand and swiped it on the punching machine again.

He needed more to vent out, and he reckoned, he could still beat the high score of his earlier.

“Move!” Lucivar pushed Thalia away and poised to punch again.

However, right when he was about to move.

Bam!

Someone else punched the punching bag, stealing Lucivar’s moment.

[Another high score!

You’re on a roll, champ!] Lucivar looked at the man who took the punch murderously, his blood boiling like magma.

Similarly-Thalia also looked at the main with an unfriendly gaze, but had her eyes widened when she saw the woman standing behind the man.

A redhead with crossed arms, she was smirking at Thalia playfully.

“Who the fuck are you?

Why did you punch it?!” Lucivar thundered, his eyes blazing.

Upon hearing this, the man gets up close and personal.

He unfearfully smiled at Lucivar, “What are you going to do about it?” Just before the situation escalated, Thalia got in between them, pushing the other guy back-and shot a glare at the redhead woman, “Do you have nothing to do, Abigail?

Go, and pick on someone else before this gets ugly” “Is that your boyfriend?” Abigail asked with a teasing grin, ignoring what Thalia said.

Thalia frowned, “And what if he is?” “I never thought someone uptight like you would have a boyfriend,” Abigail commented.

Seeing that it seemed she dragged Lucivar into her mess again, Thalia whispered, “Her name is Abigail, her parents are close with the governor and she’s also a Vampire Hybrid.

Do not do anything rash.

Let me handle this” “Say, why don’t we have a couple battle?” Abigail suddenly offered.

“Since I’m here with mine and you somehow have yours, it would be a waste-to not do it.

Are you afraid?

Do you need to ask permission from your big sister again or can you decide on your own?” Upon hearing this, Thalia clenched her fists tightly.

Her entire demeanor changed when Abigail brought her sister into this.

‘I need to calm down,’ She pondered, holding herself back hard.

‘Lucivar is here.

I can’t drag him to another problem of mine.

My goal today is to have fun, and show Lucivar around, not whatever this is…’ Just as she thought of that, however, Lucivar stepped forward.

He went up close and personal with Abigail’s boyfriend with veins bulging around his neck.

“Bring it on,” He said, his voice laced with vexation.

“I’ll take you on” Looking at Lucivar, Abigail smiled, “Oh…

your boyfriend is quite eager, I see…” Moments later.

‘Damn these randoms, I was about to start my winning streak against Thalia’ Lucivar thought.

Currently, both of them were sitting inside a waiting room in the Hybrid section.

It’s a place reserved only for Hybrids to play and have fun with their ether.

Both were going to play against Abigail and her boyfriend in a game unique to this place.

A Sheild-and-Sword Joust sport.

One would be the shield while the other would be the sword.

Basically, the ‘sword’ would try hitting the other team’s ‘sword and each successful hit would be counted as one point and the game would restart after each successful hit.

Moreover, the teams could also gain two points if they managed to take the flag behind the ‘sword’.

A physical game but both sides couldn’t use spells.

However, they could use ether to enhance their physique and dominate.

“You don’t need to accept this you know.

She’s an attention seeker, she only wanted to see a reaction from us to light up her boring life,” Thalia said and sighed.

“Also you are not even my boyfriend, you’ll only make it seem like you are if you do this” “I don’t care if she’s only taunting us or I would be mistaken as your boyfriend, “Lucivar said, his voice firm with conviction.

“I saw your expression earlier, you’re angry at her for bringing up your sister and taking you lightly, aren’t you?” “Only for today, I’ll be on your side.

So let’s crush them,” He added, smiling confidently.

Upon hearing this, Thalia’s eyes widened.

But she quickly averted away, her attempts to hide her shyness were adorable to see.

Thalia stood up and went to the door, “Let’s go then, it should be time” As she stepped out of the door, Lucivar smirked slyly and looked down at his hand.

“I mean, doing this would gain more favor from her but other than that…” On his hand, there was a bronze marble.

He obtained it, from winning against Thalia before-overpowering her on the punching machine, “I also could use this to make Sha happy” Nodding his head, he flicked the bronze sphere to his mouth as it melted into energy.

Unlike the bronze sphere, this marble didn’t strengthen his body but got absorbed anyway.

Like manipulating others, he would obtain essence energy that could be turned into, essence bars.

And this must be Sutekh’s essence energy-and the only reason he didn’t feel anything was because he hadn’t gotten a unique item from Sutekh.

But even then, the essence energy he obtained would undoubtedly be stored in it.

Lucivar could use it once he has access to it by making Sutekh happy.

“Might not be lives yet but I could use this as an appetizer for Sutekh…”
