Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Cross of Evil Chapter 133: Cross of Evil Lucivar achieved another breakthrough.

His combat prowess has been elevated to a higher degree.

Absorbing the bronze spheres thickened the concentration of Sutekh’s Divine Blood inside of him and under its power, his physique has been molded greater.

His raw strength alone could now be equivalent to a newly established first-star Acolyte rank Hybrid.

It made him superhuman, the output his muscles could produce has been multiplied.

Coupled with the use of his golden ether, the Rock Golems has no chance.

Crash!

Lucivar leaped and punched through a Rock Golem, creating a massive hole in its chest.

He landed on one knee and saw two Rock Golems swinging their arms at him.

But instead of avoiding their attacks, Lucivar stood up and blocked them with each hand.

Snow splashed around him as the force of the attacks seeped into his body and permeated to the ground.

Lucivar felt his arms numb but that was it, he wasn’t crushed, and that alone crossed a smirk on his lips.

Pushing them back, he kicked and shattered the Rock Golem to his left.

And in a swift maneuver, he climbed onto the other Rock Golem and grabbed its head.

He squeezed with both arms, cracking its head until it eventually shattered.

More bronze spheres dropped to the ground and he absorbed them without hesitation.

Using the God strands from Greedy Grasp ability and spreading it across his body, he found that he could lessen, the pain-and damage it caused to strengthen his physique.

It allowed him to endure more of the bronze spheres without breaking a sweat.

A dark brown energy steamed out of Lucivar’s body as he reveled in the feeling.

“Phew~ It’s not as bad as before,” He murmured in delight.

It wasn’t too painful now-the process was right in between, the sweet spot.

Lucivar found the sensation kind of endearing.

Just then, he caught something poking out of the snow.

In fact, there were two things.

“Well, hello there…

I thought I lost you” Lucivar bent down and took his lost dagger.

He only bought the dagger so it would be heartbreaking for him to lose it, especially when it was quite expensive-sucking almost all his academy points.

Beside it was a golden sphere, Lucivar forgot that killing others also gave him golden spheres.

Seeing this, he rubbed his forehead, “I really did crumble.

For me to forget this, sigh…” Lucivar lifted his hand and called forth the golden spheres scattered around the dungeon.

As he did this, his eyes were attracted to a single figure on the side.

It was the last Rock Golem, it stood there unmoving-almost frozen still.

“Hmm…?

Why is it not attacking me?” Raising an eyebrow, Lucivar questioned but then-his eyes sparkled at the thought of a possibility.

“Don’t tell me…

Is it scared of me?

Hahah~!

I’m honored!” Seeing first-hand how Lucivar dominated the others, the last Rock Golem was stunned.

Once Lucivar’s gaze landed on it, however, it tried turning around to leave.

But the moment it did that, a dagger pierced its back and a green phantom appeared with its maw opened wide, biting and shattering the Rock Golem into pieces.

Lucivar had gotten that much stronger.

Upon doing that, Lucivar turned back to the Rock Sentinel.

His eyes, however, were pulled somewhere else-to the mountain peak in the distance.

Several gushes of energy could be seen coming from up there.

“Ravenna still has not gotten the Teal Coin?” Lucivar frowned, he expected Ravenna, to finish her side-before he could even defeat the Rock Golems but it seemed the Shaman proved to be stronger than anticipated.

“I should go help her and close this dungeon” Just as he was about to move, Leandra and Nerissa appeared from the corner.

Both of them were wounded with Nerissa supporting Leandra.

Finding Lucivar ahead, their eyes brightened-they were exhausted from being chased.

Lucivar swiftly moved, he leaped to the Rock Sentinel that was trying to stand up.

He placed his hand on its head and slammed it to the ground again.

Not stopping at that, he channeled ether into his right foot and stomped its head hard.

Finding that its eyes were flickering, disoriented-Lucivar nodded, “That’ll do” Defeating the Rock Sentinel, would take too long, its core lay buried deep inside its resilience body, and even with his breakthrough-reaching it would still be hard.

Instead, Lucivar struck with enough force to knock the massive creature down for the count, buying time to aid both Leandra and Nerissa.

Once he turned to those two again, he saw the proselyte and Stone Orcs behind them.

“Let’s see if I can change their target,” Lucivar pondered aloud.

Following that, he heightened his focus and began extracting his ether from his Supernatural Ego and letting it surface on his skin.

He has never done this but if he could-the Stone Orcs would be drawn to him.

Golden vapor began to sizzle around him, and he made his move once he was ready.

Instead of the Stone Orcs, he aimed for the proselyte first.

Meanwhile, Leandra glanced over her shoulder.

She clicked her tongue in displeasure when she saw the scene behind.

“I’m going to skin you and feed on your blood, Star Witch!” the proselyte licked his lips.

His eyes were laser-focused on Leandra, the prize that would propel him to a new height that he was reeling to reach.

Surfing with speed, he reached out his hand ahead, almost reaching, Leandra’s hair.

As his smile widened, a shadow breezed past his vision.

For a fraction of a second there, the proselyte felt a sense of deja vu, this happened before.

But then, a massive force struck his chin-dislocating his jaw in the process.

Upon feeling this hit, bending his spine backward-in an unnatural way, the proselyte, looked down and ground his teeth at the sight of Lucivar’s mocking smile, ‘Him?!

Again?!

I caught his knee again?!’ Falling to the snow, the proselyte looked up and saw Lucivar towering over him.

His pupils trembled furiously-Lucivar got in his way again.

“Caught off guard once, I get it.

But twice?

You’re as sharp as a rock, traitor,” Lucivar mocked-cracking a wide grin-as he looked down on the proselyte.

“You are worthless in our world, what makes you think you’re going to be anything on the other side?” Each word that spilled from Lucivar’s mouth was a dagger plunging deep into him.

It sent his heart into a storm, pounding with fury that threatened to swallow him whole.

Before finishing his sentence, Lucivar pointed his hand ahead and cast Radiant Burst.

An explosion happened meters-behind the proselyte, snow climbed skyward, and the Stone Orcs behind were barred and thrown backward.

Once he did that-Lucivar turned his gaze to the proselyte again, “It’s better to surrender your life.

Just think of it as being useful, for once in your life” “Bastard!!” the proselyte roared through a broken jaw and attacked.

Lucivar grabbed the proselyte’s reaching hand as the duo was trapped in a struggle.

In this position, Lucvar frowned when his broken jaw returned to its original position-healed.

‘Is this because of him being a Nexus?

Must be, the dungeon is healing him’ Lucivar thought.

Just then, his mind was interrupted.

“They killed him!” the proselyte shouted-his voice trembling with anguish as tears streaked down his flushed-reddened face.

His bloodshot eyes burned with rage, “My older brother…

those bastard students came and did whatever they wanted!

I saw it with my own two eyes!

He screamed and begged but the city…

the city did nothing!

Nothing!!” “Since the city won’t do anything, because they’re fucking Hybrids from Sunhold City, I’ll take it upon myself to get vengeance on them!” the proselyte continued, his crazy eyes glistening.

“I’ll bring ruin to the city and find them even if I need to chase them to the end of the world!” Once he said that-a stone spike protruded out of the ground, aiming at Lucivar’s chin.

Lucivar leaped and somersaulted backward, avoiding the strike.

But the proselyte had already reached him and punched him in his face hard.

His head snapped to the side because of the force of the punch, leaving him stunned.

Managing this, the proselyte panted hard, “Stay out of my way, all I want is justice!” Seeing that Lucivar seemed to be understanding as he didn’t even fight back, the proselyte aimed to make him leave, the battle.

If Lucivar had forfeited the battle-he could have gone after the others more easily.

He was no fool, Lucivar was the most troublesome out of the group of academy hunters.

It would be best to not confront Lucivar forcefully.

Just then, however, Lucivar forcefully turned his head forward again.

He ate the punch with ease and fought back the proselyte’s fist as if it were nothing.

“Everything you said…” Lucivar began in a low whisper-his expression was both solemn and understanding.

But just as quickly, his face twisted back into a mocking grin-as he stared at the proselyte’s eyes intensely.

“It only proves me right, you are worthless.

I’m the last person you wanted to seek pity from…” “W- What…?” the proselyte was stunned.

But before he could understand what was happening, a glistening dagger brushed at him.

In the next second, a crimson line appeared on his neck before blood gushed out.

“Kaarghk!” the proselyte grunted and grabbed his neck.

He glared at Lucivar angrily and shouted, “Have you no heart?

Do you not have a family?!” “Family…?” Lucivar chuckled and glanced over his shoulder, seeing that Nerissa and Leandra were already at the portal, looking at him.

He gave them a light nod, telling them to leave the dungeon before he turned back to the proselyte, “I killed them.

My mother…

my little brother-I killed them both” “K- Killed them…?” the proselyte sucked in a cold breath in disbelief.

“You’re like them” Seeing that Lucivar doesn’t seem to be older than him, and was also an academy hunter, he thought that Lucivar would be just or at least naive.

He would’ve never guessed that he was dealing with a psychopath.

Not even a trace of his craziness leaked out from his normal face.

But now, the proselyte realized that his face was one thick facade to cover his darkness.

Lucivar brandished his dagger, splattering the proselyte’s blood onto the snow.

It was a delight to see the proselyte’s pale expression right now.

“Yes, I’m the same as those students who killed your brother or perhaps even worse,” Lucivar nodded as he went into his fighting stance with both hands raised.

“but do not be mistaken, I knew how you felt and I hated the hypocrisy of the people that befall on you.

Unfortunately- your interest crossed with mine” “A tragedy befall you and now you’ve chosen your side, so now…

get up-and fight me.

Your existence hogged some karma and I’m quite stingy when it comes to karma…”
