Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Using Greedy Grasp Effectively Chapter 132: Using Greedy Grasp Effectively Oblivious to what was happening on the other side, two figures could be seen running as fast as their legs could near the foothill.

Upon rescuing Ravenna-and Mirel, Leandra, and Nerissa saw the proselyte and the remaining Stone Orcs chasing after them.

None of them expected their pursuers to arrive this early.

It was fortunate that Lucivar had managed to grab Mirel and Leandra before this occurred.

But regardless, the two were not in a good spot.

“Where should we run to?!” Nerissa asked urgently as she stole glances at her behind.

She frowned hard when she saw the pursuers were getting closer fast.

Nerissa had already slowed them down multiple times with her Siren powers-but she was now exhausted of ether.

If she used anymore-she wouldn’t be able to keep her speed like this, she would be caught.

On the other hand, Leandra was not in any better condition.

Slowing down the Rock Golems, battling against the Stone Orcs alone, and even dispersing the avalanche was taking a toll on her ether reserve.

Even for someone like her-who has a large amount of ether reserve, she couldn’t keep on fighting.

Glancing to the far side with desperation, Leandra replied, “We’ll make a run for the portal!” “Portal?” Nerissa gasped, her voice laced with alarm.

“A lot of Rock Golems are there!” “I saw Lucivar flew above us earlier, the portal must’ve cracked-we could regroup with him” “Okay, let’s go!” Upon making a sharp turn-Leandra-and Nerissa moved out of the way when a stone lance protruded out from the ground in front of them.

Then, a playful but threatening voice seeped into their ears, “Where are you ladies going?” From the side, the proselyte came in with speed.

He used a spell that allowed him to smoothen the ground and surf it.

It was as if he was surfing on an ocean wave but the wave was made of stones instead.

Seeing this, Leandra gripped the proselyte with her telekinetic prowess.

Nerissa immediately came in, an ocean-blue body of water shaped like an eel emerged from her shoulder and whipped the proselyte on the face, throwing him backward.

As the duo did this, their sprinting speed didn’t even decrease for a bit.

But even then, the proselyte landed on the wave of rocks and circled around quickly.

In mere seconds, he reached the duo again.

‘He’s fast!

It’s going to be a battle all the way to the portal!’ Leandra glared daggers at him.

Heat rose to her cheeks as she desperately fought back her exhaustion.

Meanwhile, near the portal.

Kaboom!

A Rock Golem fell back into the dungeon, pieces of its body flew everywhere as it got kneed on the chin.

Lucivar made a mistake earlier, but now, he managed to correct his mistake-he pushed the Rock Golems back into the dungeon.

Landing on the snow, he grabbed the Rock Golem’s head again and ripped it off.

Knowing the nature of the Greedy Grasp ability, he became more formidable.

As far as he was concerned regarding the ability, Lucivar could absorb others’ ether and turn it into God strands that he could use to enhance his spells-and also heal minor wounds.

But that was not the only thing Greedy Grasp ability could do.

Other than that, he could also absorb life force if the target has no ether to absorb.

It could be turned into God strands too but he also could obtain the target’s ability.

He learned that from absorbing the rat back in the dorm.

Killing a Rock Golem would cause its life force to instantly disappear, evaporated but its ether would linger around for some time.

Lucivar could still absorb its ether, even in death, and that allowed him to always have God strands to spare.

Lifting his gaze, there were still more Rock Golems around.

Lucivar absorbed the dead Rock Golem’s ether and flapped his wing, leaping skyward.

He stuck a Rock Golem and leaped onto another, attacking them ferociously.

Upon each hit, he activated Greedy Grasp and tried to absorb as much ether as possible and this tactic worked.

As long as he could disorient-the Rock Golems, the connection would be able to linger for a moment, giving him one or two God strands.

Coupled with his superior speed, the Rock Golems’ formation was in shambles.

“Sutekh!

Am I still unworthy now?!” Lucivar shouted at his chest, basking in the moment.

On the side, Sha and Gandr appeared, watching Lucivar battle from a distance.

“Lord Set is still playing hard to get?” Gandr asked.

Sha gave him a daggering glare, “Don’t be absurd, He is not interested in giving his power to those who are unworthy to even represent Him-properly.

It’s not playing hard to get.

Watch your mouth, animal” “I’m sure he is,” Gandr remarked sarcastically, taking Sha’s words unseriously.

Hearing this, Sha exhaled roughly before turning back to Lucivar.

“I have to say, he is beginning to become worthy” She narrowed her gaze with a smile.

“He now realized the strong do not overpower others first but overpower themselves first.

Only those who have overpowered themselves from their weaknesses could become one of the strong” “If he played this right, My Lord would meet him” She proudly added.

For someone who was extremely weak recently, surprisingly, Lucivar’s growth was rapid.

Bam!

Lucivar knocked another Rock Golem with a vicious punch.

But then, one Rock Golem managed to sneak behind him.

It merged both of its hands into a hammer and struck Lucivar with it.

Having no time to react properly, Lucivar felt an enormous crushing force assaulting his body as he was thrown hundreds of meters to the side and planted into the ground.

He coughed a mouthful of blood as the bones inside of him cracked.

Despite being able to now properly attack the Rock Golems, his resilience remains the same.

One hit from the Rock Golems would be hazardous for him.

Pushing himself up with trembling arms, Lucivar glared at the Rock Golems and laughed.

“Good…

Good!

Make me bleed more!” He thundered, through a blood-filled mouth.

“I will root out any weakness inside of me!

I’ll elevate this body so that it will not fear the likes of you!

So that it would never tremble in fear again!” As he shouted that, he stopped when he caught sight of the Rock Sentinel on the side.

It wasn’t doing anything but watching him as if his fight was a spectacular show.

Angered, Lucivar grabbed a massive rock a chunk of a Rock Golem’s torso that he killed, and threw it at the Rock Sentinel.

Even though he threw it with all his might, the rock bounced off of the Rock Sentinel’s body as if it were nothing.

For the Rock Sentinel, that rock was akin to a pebble.

Becoming even more furious, Lucivar went to the side at a Rock Golem without legs.

He shattered them earlier and now this Rock Golem was helpless on the ground.

Lucivar climbed its body tirelessly and cast Greedy Grasp ability.

It was very fortunate that Greedy Grasp doesn’t require any ether-or else he’ll be done.

Despite its resistance, Lucivar punched it multiple times, and kept on absorbing until he gained eight God strands.

Once he was done, he turned around, baring his teeth like an animal, and darted towards the Rock Sentinel.

Pulling his arm back, he channeled all eight God strands into his fist and went for it.

BAM!

A loud echoing sound resounded as Lucivar’s fist landed on the Rock Sentinel.

But as he did that, his eyes widened, ‘Eight God strands…

and I only cracked its skin a little?!’ Seeing his attempt resulting in no more, than a small crack, the Rock Sentinel tilted its head a little menacingly.

No wonder the other academy hunters called it the Unfair Golem, it was too strong.

Lucivar’s punch was at least akin to that of a second-star Acolyte rank or perhaps higher.

However, the Rock Sentinel treated it as nothing.

Before he could react, the Rock Sentinel grabbed him with its hand and squeezed him.

“ARGHK!!” Lucivar screamed, the blood vessels in his eyes bulging on the brink of exploding.

He tried resisting the squeeze but it barely did anything and in a second, his wing was also making a cracking sound as the bones inside it snapped.

As his vision blurred, teetering on the brink of passing out-his eyes suddenly shot open.

Driven by his will to prove himself, a surge of adrenaline coursed through his battered body.

Lucivar blinked his eyes a couple of times before regaining back his focus.

‘I- I need to break free!’ He pondered in pain.

‘But how?!’ Seeing that he was still resiting and very much alive-the Rock Sentinel crouched down and slammed its hand onto the ground, the force caused Lucivar-to cough more blood.

He was in dire peril right now.

But as he did that, his eyes glistened at the sight of a glowing sphere not too far from him.

‘Right!

I forgot about that!’ Lucivar thought in realization.

Just from the subtle glow alone, he could tell that it was the bronze sphere.

It was Sutekh’s Divine Blood.

Killing the Rock Golems overbearingly granted him Sutekh’s Divine Blood.

Lucivar wasted no time, squeezing his arm out of the grip and calling for the bronze spheres.

His eyes lit with delight as several bronze spheres hurtled toward him, glowing like a metallic storm.

Among them were not only those he had claimed from killing Rock Golems-but these were also from the defeated Stone Orcs.

Each sphere was a trophy of his relentless assault earlier.

In mere moments-the bronze spheres turned into Godly energy and seeped into his skin like a torrent.

Lucivar gritted his teeth hard, the veins around his neck bulged as the process was more painful than he remembered.

But even then, he could feel the heat from it merging into his Supernatural Ego.

It merged and strengthened his bloodline, polishing his body to even greater heights.

For a fleeting moment, the Rock Sentinel tightened its grip, intending to crush Lucivar-once and for all. But it couldn’t, its strength was repelled-by the Godly energy.

Once the process ended, Lucivar erupted from the Rock Sentinel’s grasp in a brilliant surge.

His muscles bulged but he didn’t bask in his newfound strength and delivered a punch.

Bam!!

Lucivar’s punch carried more power than before to the point that the Rock Sentinel stumbled.

Its hard skin cracked even bigger now.

And once Lucivar followed with a dropkick to the chest, the Rock Sentinel fell backward.

Upon doing that, he landed on the ground and looked at his fists.

His body was crooked from being squeezed but he didn’t care, he clenched his fists several times and smiled, “Oh…

you guys are in trouble now” Lucivar muttered, and glanced over to the Rock Golems behind him.

What comes after is a complete, one-sided domination.

Lucivar’s attack shattered the Rock Golems-even without God strands-he could be on par with the Rock Golem.

And once he infused God strands, the Rock Golems had no chance, all shattered with one hit.

It was payback time for the beatings.
