Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: All of My Abilities Chapter 131: All of My Abilities An almost impossible mission.

A suicide mission.

Inside the mind of the academy hunters present on this day-Lucivar tackling this mission is nothing more than that.

A blue dungeon is not a field trip-it has taken the lives of countless promising Hybrids.

Nobody believed that he could pull it off, nobody had any confidence in him.

Not his team, not Caldaros’ team, no one.

Due to the slippage in his mind, he even doubted himself.

But the doubt eventually came to a stop, replaced by the unending stream of rage.

Lucivar planted his feet onto the ground firmly, his burgeoning eyes-fixed upon the portal ahead.

He was broken, bleeding from multiple parts, but the flames of determination didn’t escape his eyes.

‘Running away from this would not be getting rid of this weakness-the weakness that made my legs falter in front of the strong!’ He grinds his teeth like a beast, the sheer notion of pain and fear escapes his mind.

‘Fear makes the wolf seem bigger.

I haven’t even given my all and I already wore the stance of someone who’s already lost?!

How spineless am I?!’ A violent surge of gold ether began steaming out of his body.

His wing flickered between emerald and bronze rapidly before settling on the bronze hue.

“I- Is that what I think it is…?!” “Shit, it’s the Unfair Golem!

A Rock Sentinel!” On the frontline-through the gap seen on the portal, the academy hunters, saw a glimpse of the horror that was lurking inside.

All of them paled in horror at the sight of the Rock Sentinel and that includes Caldaros who also sweated at the sight.

Lucivar circulated the ether around his Supernatural Ego and flexed his muscles.

His legs were still trembling-the aura from the Rock Sentinel still spooked his body.

But even then, fear began to be drained out of his system.

‘Embrace the fear…

Embrace the challenge from the strong…

Embrace it with every fiber of my being!

Alter the response, make this body excited to fight this powerful thing that stood in front of me!’ Under the sheer pressure from his rising aura, his feet created a small crack in the ground.

People who were chaotic around him began to glance towards him.

However, somehow, their bodies began to weaken and running became an impossible task.

Lucivar’s body siphoned their life force as his wounds began to heal.

“Get ready!

Protect the people!” Caldaros commanded-gesturing at the academy hunters to get ready as well as the military to ready their firearms.

Since he was here already, there was no choice but to confront the Rock Sentinel.

Just then, a shadow loomed over him.

Once Caldaros looked up, he was surprised to see a massive boulder flying past him.

It was the Rock Sentinel, it threw this boulder.

“Damn it!

Stop that!” Caldaros shouted-he was too late to react.

Even the military inside the trenches were too stunned to open fire at the massive boulder.

Nevertheless, even if they did-their small bullets wouldn’t be able to shatter it.

Near the very back, a soldier was bringing a little girl to safety.

Pippa was too close to the portal-she needed to get back inside-and the soldier was going to escort her through the chaos.

However, these two were suddenly shadowed, and as Pippa turned to look-her eyes widened in fear.

It was the massive boulder the size of two houses, coming straight to squash her.

‘Don’t doubt yourself…’ Lucivar, utilized everything he had, ready to pour it all.

‘Who cares if I might die?

Who cares if there’s a chance I would lose?

I’m not going to be afraid!

I will not let myself be intimidated by these bugs!’ Pippa’s mother who was searching for her felt her heart sink to her stomach.

Her complexion paled when she saw Pippa was about to be crushed.

‘All of my abilities…

All of my God-like powers…

In this moment, I’m no longer weak!’ Lucivar’s power reached its height, and once his wounds were recovered enough, his eyes glistened-a ferocious light beamed from them.

“PIPPA!!” Pippa’s mother screamed at the top of her lungs in horror.

Pippa closed her eyes in fright, fate seemed to state that today would be her death.

But instead of being crushed, a loud ear-shattering crack resounded.

Crack!

Knocked down by the impactful force coming from behind, Pippa fell to the snowy ground.

A small grunt came out of her mouth.

However, there was no harm that befell her, she didn’t feel any pain across her body.

Realizing she was unscathed, spared from the crushing weight of the massive boulder, Pippa hesitantly opened her eyes, and glanced over her shoulder.

What greeted her gaze, stole her breath instantly.

A man with a beautiful bronze-colored wing stood behind her.

He was radiant and commanding.

At that moment, Pippa realized that the man was the reason why she wasn’t crushed.

Having nothing but his bare hands, the man effortlessly shattered the boulder.

Pippa was stunned but she recognized the man-it was the one who she had spoken with earlier-Lucivar.

Her mother came to embrace her from behind but her eyes were fixed on Lucivar, her savior.

On the other hand, Lucivar spat blood to the side-a wicked smile donning his face.

“Sha!

I understand it now!” Lucivar laughed as if he was having the time of his life.

“I am the Blessed Oracle-I am not weak-I am only too stupid to use my abilities properly.

But that…

that’s no longer, I understand it now!” Lucivar had upgraded his mastery over the Greedy Grasp ability.

Now, the range was increased as well as the power output.

He didn’t need to resort to the tactic of stealing small amounts to replenish his God strands.

Earlier, he tried to absorb-a Rock Golem’s ether forcefully-but his connection was severed almost instantly, and that’s because the Rock Golem was strong.

So why not take ether from others who couldn’t resist him?

Inside, he could forcefully absorb the weakened Stone Orcs but he didn’t.

Since he was shaken, he couldn’t see that path.

Sha already gave him the hint earlier.

‘Fear makes the wolf bigger’ ‘Confront what was in front of you first because, in truth, you are not that powerless’ ‘You are the Blessed Oracle, after all…’ Lucivar now understood what she meant-because of his crumbling, it narrowed his mind, and that created a chain reaction that made him perceive himself-as weaker than he was when in truth, he was not weak.

He has Gods inside of him and one of them gave him an ability.

Loki gave him an ability.

And Lucivar had underestimated the ability he was bestowed with.

Now, he understood the principle of the Greedy Grasp ability.

It came from the Trickster God, it wasn’t a good alignment ability-it was of evil alignment.

Meaning, the more evil the method of using this ability, the better the result.

Realizing that Lucivar took advantage of the people around and siphoned their life force.

As a result, his wounds healed faster and his God strands were fully replenished.

“Let the real battle begin!” Swoosh!

Finding that Lucivar suddenly exploded with power and shattered the boulder, Caldaros was surprised-but his lips curled, into a smile, “It seemed he was quite capable, I can see where his confidence came from” Pivoting around, Caldaros looked at the first Rock Golem that came out of the portal.

He pointed his sword to the sun and channeled his ether.

In an instant, the entire length of the sword hummed with a crimson hue-a Vampire Hybrid’s natural ether color.

Not stopping at that, the sword shook viciously as the sun infused it, with more power than before.

All academy hunters around recognized this attack.

One of Caldaros’ signature attacks-Blood Trail.

Upon reaching the Acolyte rank, Caldaros developed a characteristic of his bloodline, but his was a rare one.

Normal Vampire Hybrids would develop claws or more elongated fangs while more talented ones developed Blood Eyes.

But for him, his skin became paler than before.

It gave him a unique ability that would double the power output of his spells.

Few Crossers of the same rank could block much less survive his spells because of that.

Having to witness his power first-hand, the academy hunters felt blessed.

Everyone was shocked by the amount of ether concentrated on his weapon and once he was ready, Caldaros, jumped skyward to deliver the strike.

No doubt, his attack would shatter this Rock Golem into pieces.

Caldaros pulled his blade back, preparing to slash, “Blood Tra-!” Just before he could finish his chant, he sensed something approaching him fast.

In mid-air, he felt something was right behind him.

Once he glanced over his shoulder, his eyes widened in pure shock.

“Out of my way!” Coming out of nowhere, Lucivar flapped his sole wing, and knocked Caldaros to the side.

He body-charged Caldaros, surprising everyone, and headed straight to the Rock Golem.

Seeing this, the Rock Golem moved and threw a punch at him.

Lucivar smirked with insanity as he accepted the challenge.

Losing his dagger along the way because of the hit earlier, he has nothing to work with other than his bare hands.

But even then, Lucivar used eight God strands, his entire reserve-all at once and infused it into his fist.

“He’s aiming to outstrength a Rock Golem?!

Is he insane?!” “No way…

Only a Titan or Dragon Hybrid could do that!” All academy hunters gasped at the sight of Lucivar pulling his fist for a punch.

From the time he obtained the Greedy Grasp ability, he has never used this much at once.

So once eight God strands were infused to his right fist, he was assaulted by a sharp pain.

It felt like his right arm was about to explode.

However, he pays it no heed as there are many people around that he could use to heal all of the wounds, he might endure, from doing this.

Clenching his fist tightly-Lucivar’s lips curled into an eager, almost feral grin.

Pouring everything he had, he swung his fist in a powerful arc.

Crash!!

“My God!

He shattered it!” Unexpectedly, the impact from Lucivar’s punch was explosive, an ear-splitting crack echoed as his punch, obliterated the Rock Golem’s big arm, sending shards of stone flying.

Gasps of shock filled the air.

Caldaros who landed on the ground gritted his teeth and turned around.

But he was met with the same sight as everyone-Lucivar obliterating the Rock Golem’s arm.

Not stopping at that, Lucivar landed at the disoriented Rock Golem’s head.

His hands glowed with a greenish hue as he used Greedy Grasp at the Rock Golem.

Being disoriented from the clash, Lucivar was able to siphon its ether-and replenish his God strands once again.

In mere moments, he obtained four God strands and instantly used them once again.

Unlike before, he now grabbed the Rock Golem’s head.

His muscles bulged as his fingers dug in and cracked the surface of its head.

Fueled by the empowerment from the God strands, he ripped the Rock Golem’s head off.

It died instantly with its head shattered.

“Are you watching, Sha?!

I am still unworthy but by the end of this day, I will be!”
