Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Fang of Ankh Chapter 150: Fang of Ankh As the Blessed Oracle, Lucivar was rewarded whenever his action was aligned with a God.

Back when he tricked and killed Darwin, effectively eliminating the only threat-he had at the time, Loki rewarded him with Gleipnir’s Echo, which he never took off ever since.

It also came in handy most of the time.

An artifact that he was thankful for.

So naturally, with his performance in the blue dungeon-Sutekh also rewarded him.

He obtained the Fang of Ankh.

Due to the excruciatingly painful trials that he had to go through-frankly speaking, he forgot that he would be rewarded with a celestial artifact.

It became a pleasant shock when Lucivar realized Sutekh had prepared a gift for him.

Under Sha’s guidance, he checked what the Fang of Ankh was all about.

Lucivar marveled at his dagger.

Having the wind elemental property engraved on it, the blade of his dagger was emerald, but now, once he willed the bronze goo, the entire length of the blade was enveloped completely-including the hilt.

Like liquid, the bronze goo encased the entire weapon and seeped into it.

It took only a moment for the transformation to finish.

Now, the sharp edge of the dagger was tainted by a gleaming bronze color.

On top of that, he could also feel the heat coming from it.

Once the bronze goo disappeared completely from the dagger, Lucivar observed the dagger with great interest while Sha watched from the side smugly, “What happened to my dagger?

What did the Fang of Ankh do to it?” “In the celestial realm, Ankh is the symbol of the truth, death, and life,” Sha explained.

“Some Gods, other than my Lord could also have access to this symbol-but none could second my Lord’s symbol.

Fang of Ankh represents my Lord’s might thus…

it possessed, the Heat of the Duat.

It could pierce everything” Hearing this, Lucivar’s eyes shimmered, “So this heat…

it could slice through metal?” “As easily as butter,” Sha nodded.

“If cultivated properly, it could even cut down Gods” A smirk crossed Lucivar’s lips as soon as she said that.

‘Gleipnir’s Echo provided me supporting abilities and now, the Fang of Ankh provided a more offensive ability,’ Lucivar nodded, there was a surge of elation, climbing from inside of him.

It was all worth it, ‘Now I only needed a defensive artifact to be complete’ Since the Fang of Ankh was tied to the tattoo, Lucivar was not limited to one weapon.

If he wanted to, he could change weapons as much as he liked without losing this heat.

Lucivar tried the dagger gently, feeling the changes that the Fang of Ankh brought.

Other than the weight of the dagger-that has become a few pounds heavier, there wasn’t much that changed.

As he gently moved the dagger left and right, he noticed the heat was also moving unnaturally.

Making a gentle swing to the right, Lucivar quickly put strength and swing to the opposite.

Upon doing that, he saw the heat almost spilled out.

Finding this quite odd, Lucivar put more strength into his swing.

Crack!

Lucivar was startled when a loud grating sound echoed across the entire room.

To his surprise, the dagger unleashed a crescent-shaped wave that rippled outward.

It reached the wall to his side and sliced deeply into it.

Seeing this, Lucivar sucked in a cold breath-he did not need to use anything to do that kind of massive damage, it was all the Fang of Ankh.

Even though he had a feeling that this would happen if he tried to swing hard, it still surprised him.

“Ah, right…

there’s also that” Sha commented nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar scowled at her, “Shouldn’t you warn me before it happened?” Sha suddenly smirked when she heard this.

“Learning by doing is oftentimes more effective, I’m sure you understand” She replied.

Lucivar rolled his eyes when he heard this, “Did you learn that from Gandr?

Nice, very nice” Due to the commotion, the door was opened and a figure came rushing in.

It was Sabrina, she had her mouth full of cake.

“W- What happened?” She stammered with a full mouth.

“Is there an assassin?” Instead of answering her, Lucivar squinted his eyes, “Wow…

your master passed out and you are out there having fun eating.

Where is loyalty, when you need it?

Is it really that tasty-for you to leave me alone?” “Pipe down, princess,” Sabrina wiped her mouth.

“you’re sleeping soundly and I can’t eat?” “Hmm…?

I’m sleeping?” Lucivar raised an eyebrow.

He thought he passed out after eating with Nerissa but from her reaction, it wasn’t the case.

“Are you going senile already?” Sabrina mocked.

“You instantly went to sleep after eating” Upon hearing this, Lucivar was confused-as to how he could walk, all the way to his room when he passed out instantly once he stepped out of the restaurant.

But he put that in the back of his mind.

“What time is it?” “Around seven I think, the city is still bustling though” Lucivar nodded but then, Sabrina continued.

“Oh-a young girl who claimed to be saved by you directly wanted to meet with you.

I forgot her name.

Pippa…?

I think” “When?” “Eleven.

I told her that I would tell you and she said she’d come back tomorrow” “I’m not going to see her.

Just tell her I’m too wounded to meet anyone” Upon hearing this, Sabrina nodded as if she would do exactly that.

But she wasn’t finished filling Lucivar of what had happened while he was sleeping.

“Also, the lieutenant is searching for you” “What?

Really?” As soon as the lieutenant was mentioned, Lucivar’s eyes lit up-he instantly went to the side and changed into new clothes.

He prepared to leave immediately, causing Sabrina to be, in a daze, “Where are you going?

Aren’t you supposed to be resting?” “I need to meet with the lieutenant.

It’ll not take long” Lucivar replied, dashing to the door.

Being cramped in the room all the time, Sabrina followed him, “I’m coming with you!” “Fine,” Lucviar shrugged.

“suit yourself” Once he said that he poked his head out to check on the corridor.

Lucivar, made sure the coast was clear, no Leandra, no Caldaros, no the others, before he made his way out with Sabrina sticking close behind him.

He was walking fast, causing the poor maid to stumble to keep up.

“Why are we rushing?

Is this supposed to be a secret?” She asked along the way.

Not even sparing her a glance, Lucivar nodded as he went down through the emergency exit.

“Keep this a secret between us,” He said sternly.

“If anyone knew about this, I’ll blame you” “Fine…” Sabrina sighed.

As long as she would be getting out of the room, she’d gladly keep this a secret.

Upon reaching outside of the hotel, Lucivar, scanned the surroundings, and swiftly went over to the less crowded street, away from the celebrating people of the city.

He grabbed a jacket on the ground along the way and wore it to blend in.

People were dancing and drinking, the ground was littered with lost belongings.

Even Sabrina found another jacket and wore it over her head.

However, coincidentally, Leandra was on her way back to the hotel and noticed them.

Beside her stood Caldaros, having returned after the governor requested representation for the academy hunters.

Though it was merely a formality-refusing the governor felt impolite, so the two chose to attend.

“Isn’t that Lucivar and his personal maid?” Caldaros pointed at them sneaking out.

A frown crossed Leandra’s face, ‘Yes, I think you’re right.

Why are they sneaking around?’ Beaten by her curiosity, Leandra wanted to follow them and see what those two were doing but she could not do that right now, with Caldaros with her, “Lucivar is wounded, I think you saw it wrong.

It’s not them” “But those two looked like them, they came out of the hotel too,” Caldaros argued.

Instead of dealing with him, Leandra waved her hand, “It’s not.

You must’ve drank too much” Once she said that she headed back to the hotel, hoping Caldaros would be convinced.

Fortunately, he did-he also went back to the hotel.

‘He has been asking a lot of about Lucivar.

I do not know for what reason-but he reeks of trouble, I shouldn’t have him anywhere near Lucivar,’ Leandra thought, stealing a glance at her behind.

‘What Lucivar did might also sprout resentment from him’ Recalling how Lucivar ridiculed Caldaros in his own way in public, he might resent Lucivar.

Leandra decided to cover for Lucivar this once.

However, once she returned to her room, she waited for five minutes before going out again.

She slipped away from the hotel and instantly rushed to where Lucivar went to.

Reaching the main street, she immediately went to the side, towards the more secluded area of the city.

She was jogging-while keeping her eyes open-for their traces, ‘Sabrina told me that he has been sleeping, after breakfast.

He has been gone all day, and once he woke up- he sneaked out.

What is he planning to do now…?’ Just from the build-up alone, Leandra could tell that Lucivar was up to no good.

He was acting shady and she was going to find out what he was planning.

Normally, if he planned something-people got hurt and she wasn’t going to let that happen.

Despite her best attempt, checking each alley and even checking the houses in the area, she could not find Lucivar, and Sabrina anywhere.

It seemed they were rushing.

Leandra stopped and looked around, “Where are they?

I can’t pinpoint where they were going, but it should be somewhere downtown” Biting her lower lip, Leandra moved again, “I’ll stick to the less crowded street to find them” Meanwhile, several blocks from Leandra.

“It’s silent here, where are the soldiers?” Sabrina commented.

Despite being at the command center, with military vehicles parked outside, there were not a single soul around.

Although the soldiers were probably also celebrating-it was weird to see not even one of them here.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar also nodded, “You’re right, it’s weirdly quiet here” But even then, there was a smile crossing Lucivar’s face.

‘Seems like the lieutenant really prepared it for me, none of his men were here’ He thought.

Reaching the door, Lucivar knocked on it a couple of times.

Soon, footsteps from the other side could be heard before the door swung open.

It was the lieutenant.

He was mildly surprised to see Lucivar visiting late at night even though he anticipated if he did, but soon frowned when he saw Sabrina, “Is she trustworthy?

I can’t afford this to reach the governor” “Don’t worrry,” Lucivar assured.

“she’s like my third hand, quite dependable” Sabrina blushed a little when she heard that despite trying her best to remained composed.

On the other hand, the lieutenant looked at her briefly before he stepped aside.

Lucivar and Sabrina entered with the door closed behind them.

At that exact same second, Leandra emerged from the corner, sweating a little.

“Where did they go…?” She muttered before continuing on, passing by the command center.
