Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Just Like That Chapter 114: Just Like That Lucivar was still half-asleep, last night’s sleep was one of the best he had ever had recently.

He dreamed of Callista leading him into a room filled with towering piles of gold coins, it was a pleasant dream and the sensation of swimming in those piles was almost tangible, it was a surreal delight.

But, like all good things, the dream eventually came to an end.

It was because of the annoying knocking on the door.

As if being woken up early wasn’t enough, the unsightly sight of Sabrina’s face greeted him.

“What?

Why are you looking at me like that?” “Hmm…” Despite the questions, Sabrina kept glaring at him and hid her bosom with her arms.

“What kind of maid glared at her master early in the fucking morning?” “I don’t know, maybe because you fondled my chest the first thing in the morning?” “When did I do that?

Even if I did, it was an accident!” “Come on, cough it out.

Who did you meet in your first mission?

Must be someone special to turn a dignified person under Master Tobias into a pervert!

At least tell me when you want to do it, I need to prepare my heart for it you know…” “You out of all people, dared call me a pervert?

I can tell that this bedsheet is new-you must have changed it since you locked the door yesterday and I need to wait outside for five damn minutes!” “It’s a safety precaution!

I don’t want anyone entering your room without you knowing!” “Bullshit!

You must’ve mast-” Bam!

Just as their argument heated up, the door was banged from the outside.

Lucivar kept eye contact with Sabrina in annoyance before he headed to the door.

Since he was still on pending, he didn’t need to attend classes or even training, he could be sleeping all day long if he wanted to-so he didn’t know why someone was knocking on the door early in the morning.

Opening the door, a familiar face stood on the other side.

It was Leandra, she was already in her training uniform.

“It’s early in the morning and you’re already arguing with your personal maid?” She asked.

Before Lucivar could answer, Sabrina intervened, “That pervert had it coming!” “Shut the hell up, Sabrina!” Lucivar cursed aloud.

“Nobody is talking to you!” Upon hearing this, Sabrina pushed her lower lip into a pout-she climbed the bed, lay there, and covered her entire body with a blanket.

Such a sight made Lucivar’s blood boil, she was doing this as an act of defiance, to annoy him.

Lucivar tagged the bed so this annoys him.

“Pervert?

What is she talking about?” Leandra raised her brow.

Sighing lightly, Lucivar waved his hand dismissively, “What are you doing here?

I’m surprised you’re even coming here after what happened,” He cast a playful glance at her.

“Make it fast, really need to sleep a bit more” Hearing this, Leandra stammered, remembering what had happened days ago.

She tried to put it on the back of her head but Lucivar brought it up again.

“I was only wondering how did it go yesterday?

Did you have fun?” “Hmm…?

How do you know what I did yesterday?” Realizing that she messed up, Leandra stuttered, trying to find an excuse.

“I- I didn’t see you yesterday so I thought you we-” “Stop it, I know that it’s you who told Thalia to bring me out on a date” “How did you know?” “It doesn’t matter and to answer your question, I did have a lot of fun” Upon hearing this, Leandra’s heart skipped a beat, it was bittersweet to hear that from him.

She couldn’t sleep or even do anything yesterday knowing that Lucivar got on a date with Thalia, but there was nothing she could do.

Just as she was about to say something-she saw a weird smile on Lucivar’s face.

From the looks of it, he was recalling the events of last night with Thalia.

But the smile on his face was a sly one, not tone one a person used to recall good times.

“Lucivar…” Leandra dragged, squinting her eyes.

“What kind of fun did you do?” “What kind of question is that?

Of course, I did fun things” Leandra tilted her head, she kept trying to read his face to see what he really meant by fun.

She was trying to see if he was being true or sarcastic.

“Like eating somewhere, sightseeing cool places, doing good things, right…?” “Well, yes, maybe.

Not necessarily doing good things but things are good for me, though” “Alright, that’s it, what did you do to Thalia?” Maybe Leandra was unsure before-but the way he phrased his last answer told her enough, told her that he wasn’t having the normal kind of fun.

Seeing how happy Lucivar was after he won against the doppelganger, she could tell what kind of things he found fun.

Instead of answering, he only spared her a smirk, “Thanks for arranging it, you’re the best” Once he said that he closed the door slowly.

Leandra tried stopping the door and even banging on it but the door was eventually closed.

She was left outside at a complete loss, “I started to regret asking Thalia to do that…” Upon pivoting back towards the bed, his annoyance came back.

Sabrina was still there.

“Hey, get down.

I want to sleep some more” “…” “Get up or I’ll throw you out” “…” Not even wasting a single more second-since Sabrina, wanted to be stubborn, he wrapped her inside the blanket like a burrito and carried her over his shoulder.

She struggled to break free but she couldn’t.

Opening the door again, Leandra was startled as she was still outside.

But Lucivar didn’t pay her any heed and placed Sabrina on the corridor.

Once he let go, Sabrina crawled out of the burrito blanket and found that Lucivar had already closed the door behind him.

She crawled to the door-and banged on it, “I’m sorry!

Open the door, please!

Master Lucivar!” Despite her pleading, there was no answer.

It was fortunate that the room was located on the corner or else this would be embarrassing.

Knowing that Lucivar wouldn’t open the door, Sabrina slumped her shoulders.

She glanced to the side and found Leandra there, looking at her with pity.

“Do you want to crash in my room?” …

Meanwhile, Lucivar slept for a couple more hours before he finally had the willpower to wake up.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up on the bed.

Checking the time, it was around eleven-and he stretched as it had been a long time since he woke up this late.

Going to the side, he took a quick shower before he sat down again.

Once he was refreshed, he lay on the bed again and went into his Inner Chamber.

He deliberated for a moment there, torn between absorbing the power crystal from Tobias or examining the changes on the green sphere with Gandr.

After a brief consideration-he went with the latter as he was curious.

Since he passed the first divine elevation, he was eager to uncover the changes.

Stepping into the silent chamber-that always has moonlight seeping from the windows, he looked around and found Gandr already waiting for him right beside the green sphere, “I am ready for the changes, show it to me” Gandr smiled seeing Lucivar was excited.

“Go and absorb it as normal.

Once you’re done, tell me” “Alright” It took about five minutes to absorb the entire green sphere until the very last drop.

Just like normal, he could feel his energy reserve was expanding still.

Glancing towards Gandr, he then stood up, “I’m done, so what’s the change?

I don’t feel it” Upon saying that, Gandr slammed his tail onto the ground, causing the ground to shake for a little bit before Loki’s statue hummed-with a green hue.

Then, under Lucivar’s eyes, the tips of the horned helmet glowed.

It fired a beam at the ground beside Gandr.

Lucivar covered his face with his arm, preparing for the impact but it never came.

Lowering his arm, he found another mirror appearing in front of him.

However-unlike the magical mirrors that he could purchase using essence bars that did not even reflect anything-this one seemed to be a regular mirror.

Lucivar stepped into the front and saw his own reflection.

“Seems like I’m a little bit taller and more handsome too,” He murmured.

Ignoring Gandr’s judging gaze, he struck a couple of poses.

He flexed his toned muscles, posing like a model he saw on the mall, amongst other things.

Once he was done praising himself, he turned to Gandr.

“Are you done?” “What?

You created a mirror, my reflection is distracting you know” Rolling his eyes as Sutekh’s influence was taking over, Gandr slammed his tail once again.

As opposed to summoning another mirror, Lucivar’s reflection changed instead.

Glowing writings appeared in the mirror.

——  -> Ether Mastery (High Mortal) – High —– From the looks of it, the mirror was split into two screens by a single glowing green line.

On the left was a single option, the Ether Mastery option.

Lucivar turned to the right and found more options listed there.

——  -> Greedy Grasp (Low Mortal) – Mid  -> Radiant Burst (Low Mortal) – Low  -> Minor Morphing (Low Mortal) – High  -> Soul Warden (Low Mortal) – Low ——- Just from the options alone, Lucivar knew that these were the list of his arsenal.

All of them were the abilities he could use.

He was quite pleased with what he was seeing.

Snare and also Green Shroud were not listed because those two were the abilities that came from his ring, Gleipnir’s Echo.

Once he read this-he turned back to Gandr with one eyebrow raised, “What’s this?

I’m guessing these are all my abilities and beside each one was my own mastery over it but what do ‘Low Mortal’ and ‘High Mortal’ mean?” Lucivar understood what he was seeing.

Beside each ability was his mastery over the abilities.

Minor Moprhing has the highest mastery because he trained on it for Professor Fury.

Other than that, the Greedy Grasp was also higher than the rest.

But he didn’t know what the ‘Low Mortal’ and ‘High Mortal’ were.

Upon hearing this, Gandr explained, “Correct-these are your abilities and your mastery over them.

As for the ‘Low Mortal’ and ‘High Mortal’ part, it’s the realm of your mastery.

You could train an ability to perfect mortal realm or even high mortal realm-but no mortals could reach the realms above” “However, now you passed the first divine elevation, you could reach higher” He added.

Lucivar frowned when he heard this.

He didn’t know that mastery over abilities also has realms of its own.

“Wait, you meant to tell me…” “Yes.

In default, Father’s Divine Blood would increase your ether reserve and also your ether mastery-but now that you passed the first divine elevation, you could attribute Father’s will to increase your ability mastery however you want” Hearing this, Lucviar flicked his fingers.

“As quick as that?

No training needed?” “Above the High Mortal realm, yes, just like that…” “Holy, is that even allowed…?”
