Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: I Suggest You To Stop Chapter 120: I Suggest You To Stop ‘It exactly felt like last time but the reason…

it was different’ Lucivar peered at the dark writing, this time, it reflected the hate inside of him.

During the first time something like this happened, this dark oath appeared when he had the intention to kill Professor Fury. He had thought, that this would happen if he bore an intense amount of killing intent towards somebody.

It was also part of the reason Lucivar thought this originated from his bloodline.

Like his ability to sense killing intent, this should also be another ability or even a part of his ability that came from his Angel constitution.

But he did not bear any killing intent-towards Caldaros.

His hatred might be riled up because of Loki’s previous avatars but that was it.

Under no circumstance did he want to kill Caldaros right now.

Not only was the place not suitable for doing that, with the entire city being a bastion for the military, and also having several Hybrids-Caldaros was also still way stronger.

So, he wasn’t planning on killing Caldaros here.

And yet, the dark oath was etched before him, cracking the mirror.

‘I will get our revenge and prove I’m now stronger!’ It was the writing, Lucivar did think of that earlier but wasn’t planning to do it now.

“Gandr, Sha, do you know what this is…?” Lucivar whispered.

Upon saying that, Sha and Gandr appeared, inspecting the dark oath with curiosity.

“Definitely not my Lord’s doing and not the other Gods either” Sha voiced.

Gandr also nodded in agreement, “Whoever, or whatever did this, its origin is hard to trace.

But I do remember the first time this happened, upon your completion of killing that mortal, there was an unknown power that amplified Father’s divine blood bestowed onto you” “So it must come from my original bloodline…” Lucivar nodded.

“Is it that figure of light?” If the Gods weren’t the ones responsible for this then his real bloodline is the suspect.

And anything regarding his bloodline, he attributed it to that figure of light.

Nevertheless, Lucivar still finds the dark oath a mystery.

All he knew was that it responded to his feelings and also would amplify the Divine Blood he would obtain from doing-whatever the settled task of the oath was.

Wiping the blood once again, Lucivar shook his head, “Even so, I can’t kill Caldaros right now.

It’s too risky” Lucivar stayed inside the bathroom for another five minutes to calm himself down.

‘I should be fine even if I saw Caldaros again,’ He nodded.

He was caught off guard earlier and was not ready, which was why he was like this.

Caldaros’ light is a pain in the ass for him.

“Are you okay now, master?

The others are waiting for you, and were worried” Sabrina asked.

Seeing Sabrina panicking and pulling Lucivar away like that would definitely worry the others.

Lucivar nodded, “Come on, let’s go back” Once he was cleaned of all traces of blood and recovered from the initial shock, Lucivar and Sabrina went back to the others.

Stepping outside, Lucivar realized that he was inside some kind of house that was renovated into a command office.

Going along the corridor, he arrived in a room and saw the others were there, waiting for him.

Naturally, the others were worried and asked what happened.

But Lucivar, fortunately, could use the fact that he had become an Acolyte-rank ream Hybrid as an excuse and shrugged the questions.

Then, he turned to look at a tough-looking man in a uniform, standing by the massive window.

Judging from the medals adorning his uniform, he is a high-ranking military officer.

And is probably the person in command in this city.

“Now that everyone is here, I’ll explain the situation,” the officer said and began the briefing.

Moments later.

“I’ll prepare the escorts to the portal, you have ten minutes” the officer commanded and left.

Lucivar gazed outside of the window with an evident frown on his face.

Kalinan city wasn’t a big city, in fact-it was a small city hosting around 6,000 people.

It’s one of the prosperous slave cities that dealt in trading with Sunhold City.

Beyond the east wall were multiple rows of trenches with military men posting guards along with their vehicles-facing the massive blue portal about half a mile away.

It is the dungeon Lucivar and the others would tackle.

From the officer’s explanation, Kalinan City had become a stronghold.

Kalinan City was surrounded by five nearby cities, hosting similar or even more people, and because of that, the city mustn’t fall to the Crossers.

If the Crossers got their hands on this city, they would gain a bastion-granting them access to those five nearby cities.

If that happened, it would be a slaughter.

And because of that, the military concentrated some forces to defend this city.

Having such an importance, in hindsight, the Hybrid Association should focus on this city.

Sending a team with one Chrysalis-rank Hybrid would easily handle the dungeon.

But instead, they sent Lucivar and Caldaros’ teams.

And the reason for that was that Kalinan City as well as the other five cities don’t have-or provide massive value for the Hybrid Association.

It was said that the last time each of the six cities provided a Hybrid was five years ago.

Even the governor of Lucivar’s home city was already fretting over missing one year.

Five years was akin to a death sentence.

It was only because of the trading, and resources around, that Kalinan City could stay strong and prosperous.

No portals appeared around here in the last couple of years and the city felt fine.

Now, the city would feel the result of disassociation from the Hybrid Association.

Sending the hunters here was only a formality.

Considering that Caldaros’ team has only three Acolyte-rank, the city is doomed.

It was only because Lucivar volunteered that two teams were sent.

Glancing at Caldaros, Lucivar squinted his eyes, ‘He’s a student-not an academy hunter.

I’m sure he has been instructed to leave, and abandon the city if things go awry.

But if that’s the case, why was he sent here in the first place?

If the city is low priority, why send him at all?’ ‘Is Caldaros onto me?’ Lucivar gulped.

Something felt fishy but he couldn’t really pinpoint what.

Just then, Caldaros approached with wide steps.

Lucivar averted his gaze away, ‘Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Why is he coming to me?

Okay, calm down’ All eyes turned to Caldaros as he stopped right in front of Lucivar.

“Do you have something to say to me?” Lucivar asked, trying to keep his composure.

Caldaros nodded, “Your growth is quite fast, the last time I saw you-you’re still a Neophyte and now you’re already an Acolyte.

You’re talented, the academy and the world would need someone like you, why waste it?” “I was told to come here, this is not my choice” Lucivar lied.

But then, Caldaros tilted his head.

He saw through that lie.

“I know you’re here to gain approval for the South Hues Tournament” He announced.

Upon hearing this, the others in the room sucked in a cold breath.

“South Hues Tournament?!

Is he serious?” “Even the upperclassmen students drop participating because of the competition” “Anyone who won the tournament would be awarded directly by the Valerius Supreme House-and now the governor’s grandson is participating, a direct lineage from the supreme house-and he still wanted in?” “He will be destroyed.

Even Caldaros participated when he was in his first year and could not even get to the top five!” Caldaros spare a glance towards them sharply.

And the academy hunter who mentioned him covered his mouth instantly out of fear.

Likewise, Leandra, Ravenna, Nerissa, and Mirel were also surprised.

None of them knew that Lucivar was doing this to participate in a massive tournament.

Earlier, Lucivar only asked them for help.

He said that he was sent to tackle a blue dungeon by a professor.

Since they were also eager to test their strength against a blue dungeon, they agreed.

But none of them knew about this.

Mirel, in particular, who was silent throughout this trip looked at Lucivar’s back in surprise.

He seemed to be the most surprised.

Pivoting back towards Lucivar, Caldaros continued, “As you heard from them, even I, couldn’t win that tournament and this year’s competition will be way higher.

The tournament was only for those fortunate with resources, you’re not a match” “It’s not worth risking your life taking down this dungeon,” He added, seemingly genuine.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar smiled back, “I’ll take my chances,” As he said that, he walked past Caldaros and gestured towards the others to move.

Others may think that he was being reckless by doing this-a blue dungeon could obliterate an Acolyte-rank Hybrid like him but he has no choice.

Professor Aeldric blackmailed him and there’s no choice for him.

Seeing how ruthlessly the Dark Angels hunted down Angel Hybrids, he has no choice.

If he didn’t want to die then he had to do this.

Just as he was about to step out-Caldaros grabbed his hand, stopping him again.

“I’m telling you for your own good, don’t throw your life away,” Caldaros added.

He was genuine but this for some reason irked Lucivar greatly.

‘I never knew a goody two shoes could be this annoying,’ Lucivar pondered, with a sour face, he didn’t like this at all.

He then turned towards Caldaros but this time, there was no smile on his face.  Seeing this, Caldaros warned, “Even I can’t win, you should not participate” “Killing during the tournament is permissible in some situations, you could die.

And if you did not-there would be other participants that are going to cripple you.

It’s too competitive and risky” He added, trying to coax Lucivar out of this.

But Lucivar already had enough.

He needed to make a stand or else Caldaros would become more and more annoying.

“But you forget to consider one thing,” Lucivar said, a smirk crept to his lips.

“I’m not you-I’m better than you.” Upon hearing this, Caldaros was stunned.

Not in his wildest dream did he expect Lucivar to say something like that.

Considering that he was the first-ranker, their position should be established enough.

Lucivar was less talented than Caldaros but it didn’t seem Lucivar viewed it that way.

Just as Caldaros was about to say something more, frowning at Lucivar’s arrogance-a hand grabbed him by the shoulder.

He glanced over his shoulder and saw it was Ravenna, she was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze.

“He had made up his mind,” She said before her grip tightened, causing Caldaros to frown at her surprising strength.

“He wanted to participate-in the tournament, and I am not going to let you force him to do something he doesn’t want to do,” “So I suggest you to stop…” She added menacingly.
