Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Sabrina’s Path Chapter 151: Sabrina’s Path Lucivar peeked from the window and saw Leandra passing through the street.

His expression remained stoic.

Despite not expecting Leandra to see him slipped out, she didn’t seem to notice-where he went.

She was still aimless outside and he has no intentions of informing her.

Averting away from the window, he turned to the lieutenant.

He, Sabrina, and the Lieutenant Rafi were in a room on the second floor.

It was Rafi’s temporary office while he was here.

“I heard from her-that you were looking for me earlier,” Lucivar spoke, turning-and crossing his arms.

“I had only told you last night but you’re quite fast, I appreciate it.

So, should we get going now?” Upon hearing this, Rafi’s expression wavered a bit.

A bad sign in Lucivar’s book.

“I’m sorry to disappoint but I’m not ready,” Rafi sighed with regret.

“I need more time” Lucivar could not help but frown-he didn’t doubt the lieutenant’s determination to complete his request.

Matter of fact, he trusted the lieutenant, as his desire to repay Lucivar for saving the city was palpable.

Sitting across the table, Lucivar looked at Rafi who doesn’t seem to be worried.

“What happened?” He finally asked.

Pausing for a second, arranging the words, inside his chaotic mind, Rafi then replied, “I am having trouble against a local jury, that doesn’t want to budge.

I didn’t told him the details, only the necessary parts but he refused to comply” Aware of his request’s absurdity, Lucivar didn’t find this surprising.

A heart filled with justice is bound to refuse what he requested.

“If you give me more time until tomorrow,” Rafi continued, assurance and conviction laced his tone.

“I can have it be completed.

I just need to convince that jury-this is for the betterment of the city” “I’m leaving the day after tomorrow,” Lucivar replied sternly.

“I can’t wait any longer” Naturally, following his words-the tension inside the room rises.

Sabrina who was standing on the side could feel Lucivar’s annoyance bubbling inside.

“I’ll make sure you could do what you wanted tomorrow night,” “I don’t want to take my chances, I want a guarantee.

Can you guarantee it, lieutenant?” Upon hearing this, Rafi’s lips pursed-contemplating deeply.

It was clear from his hesitance alone-that he couldn’t guarantee completion of the request, and Lucivar couldn’t have that.

He has obtained Sutekh’s blessing-it was time for him to be focusing on his second wing.

Lucivar has made little to no progrerssion in his Supernatural Ego.

He was still stuck at the first-star Acolyte-rank, and he can’t have that.

Especially when what lies ahead was the South Hues Tournament.

“I’ll guarantee it.” Rafi finally spoke determinedly.

“If I fail, you can put my head on a stake” Despite his unwavering resolve to sacrifice himself, for Kalinan City, Lucivar raised a hand, silencing him with a sharp shake of his head.

“I do not need your life, it holds little value to me,” he said, his tone cutting, and direct.

“What I want… I’ve already made-that perfectly clear.” Pausing for a second, Lucivar then continued, “Does this jury have a name?” “It’s Sir Balatin,” Rafi replied almost instantly.

Lucivar’s eyes squinted further, “And a photo…?” Upon hearing this, Rafi was stunned for a second-gazing at Lucivar questioningly.

Intertwining his hands elegantly, Lucivar tilted his head and looked at Rafi as if he was the dumbest people on earth, “Wait…” He cackled, glancing at Sabrina, seeking recognition of how stupid Rafi was being.

“So you meant to tell me a jury stopped you from completing a request from me, the city’s savior, and you haven’t thought of getting rid of him?” “Getting rid of him?” Rafi asked, spreading his hands in bewilderment.

“How?” “Aren’t you a lieutenant?

Send your goddamn soldiers and kill him!” Lucivar exclaimed.

He couldn’t believe that he would need to tell Rafi to do this.

“No…” Rafi shook his head.

“I can’t do that, my men wouldn’t want to do that kind of thing” “Just give me his photo,” Lucivar was done with this conversation.

Hearing this, Rafi leaned back slowly and glanced at Sabrina.

She was the same as Lucivar, she also looked at Rafi as if he was a moron.

Reluctantly, Rafi opened the drawer and took out a single photo before giving it to Lucivar.

Lucivar grabbed the photo from his hand roughly and without looking at the photo, he gave it to Sabrina, “Go, and kill this, Sir Balatin.

Don’t take too long, I’ll be waiting here.

Also, Leandra is outside.

Don’t get caught by her” “As you wish, Master Lucivar” Sabrina accepted the photo and immediately walked out.

Even though she was annoying most of the times, she knew how to behave in public.

Once Sabrina left, Rafi turned to Lucivar again.

“Now what?” “We wait…” Moments later.

Thud!

Rafi was on the edge of his seat, startled when Sabrina placed something on his table.

A resounding thud echoed as blood splattered everywhere.

“Is that the right one?” Lucivar asked questioningly.

“Is that Sir Balatin?” Upon hearing this-Rafi turned from the severed head on his table to Lucivar and back to the severed head again.

He gulped harshly, it didn’t even take Sabrina longer than ten minutes to come back with Sir Balatin’s head.

“Y- Yes…” Rafi nodded stiffly.

“It’s Sir Balatin” “Good work, Sabrina,” Lucivar praised, giving her a faint smile.

“You’re faster than I expected” “I can be very useful whenever you need me too,” Sabrina also smiled in return.

Sometimes, Lucivar forgot that Sabrina came from a slave school, she acted brazenly most of the times but her manners were top-notch when the time requires her to.

Even though it was Lucivar’s first time sending her on a kill mission, she did it without hesitation.

She didn’t even utter a question.

As soon as Lucivar commanded it, she immediately gets to work.

“Tomorrow night,” Lucivar said as he stood up.

“I want it done by then.

No more exuses now” Rafi nodded, with Sir Balatin out of the way there was nobody who could stop him.

Even the goverrnor wouldn’t be able to.

Upon seeing this, Lucivar turned around-exiting the room followed by Sabrina behind him.

“Don’t think too much,” Sabrina said.

“give master what he wants and you’ll be fine” Once she said that, she closed the door, leaving Rafi along with Sir Balatin.

“Hybrids…” Rafi wiped the sweat on his forehead.

“anything goes for them no matter what” Meanwhile, Lucivar came out of the command center dispirited.

He was hoping that his request was ready-and he could do it tonight-considering that he’d probably need time to finish all of them.

But as it turns out, the lieutenant wasn’t able to fulfill his part.

It was rather frustrating but there’s nothing Lucivar could do.

Standing on the street, Lucivar put both hands on his waist and sighed.

“How was the kill?

Is it clean?” “Yes, it’s clean, he was sleeping on his bed.

No wife, no kids, no nothing.

He’s all alone” “Good.

What about Leandra?

Did you saw her?” “I saw her last time at the market but that was ten mintues ago” Upon hearing this-Lucivar pulled the hood of his jacket and put his hands into the pockets before heading back to the hotel.

He could hear the sound of a party in the distance but he wasn’t interested in attending.

Along the way, it was silent.

But Lucivar could feel the curiosity coming from Sabrina.

“Aren’t you going to ask what my request was?” “Are you going to answer?” “No.” “See…

I knew it.

No reason for me to ask you” Lucivar chuckled, it seemed Sabrina was getting to know him too well.

“You’re a Succubus, right?

Do you need to have sex to gather your natural ether?” “Eh…?” Being asked that question, Sabrina’s face flushed crimson-she has never talked about that to anyone, other than Master Tobias.

And even then, he had only inquired, once.

Back when he was interviewing to purchase her.

“W- Why did you suddenly ask that?!” She yelped, snapping her face away.

Seeing her acting shy, Lucivar laughed, “I suddenly remembered the first time we met” “Forget about that!” Sabrina pouted angrily.

“I was desperate back then, I can’t help it!” “Alright, alright…” Lucivar waved his hand-getting to Sabrina was quite easy, with that card.

“So?

Aren’t you going to answer me?

If you tell me how you get stronger, I could help you.

As my personal maid, I can’t have you being weak, right?” Upon hearing this, she look down, fidgeting with her fingers, “Yes, it’s something like that…” “I amass my natural ether whenever I feel aroused,” She muttered embarrassedly .

Sabrina bit her lower lip hard once she said that, she could feel her face burning already.

“Aroused?

So are you aroused all the time-or what?” Lucivar asked in confusion.

“I’ve never seen you actually train, but you’re an Acolyte-rank Hybrid already.

Is there something I need to know?” “It’s not like that,” Sabrina lifted and shook her hands.

“I can be aroused of other things…” “Hmm…?

What things?” Lucivar tilted his head.

Just then, however, his eyes widened when he saw Sabrina’s body hummed with ether.

She seemed to be vibrating with ether so she must’ve been aroused recently.

It was only then did Lucivar realized what made her aroused, “Don’t tell me…” “Yes,” Sabrina smiled innocently.

“I can also be aroused at the sight of violence…” Lucivar should’ve expected it, he rubbed his face, disappointed, at himself, as the signs were already there.

Sabrina was aroused now because of Sir Balatin earlier, she had gotten a lot of natural ether from doing that.

Since she was a Demon, obtaining her natural ether must be through bad actions.

And true to her bloodline, arousal is her key to strength.

‘I forgot to ask Sha and Gandr about her bloodline too,’ Lucivar pondered.

‘Ardat Lilitu’ Upon thinking that, both Sha and Gandr appeared on his shoulders.

“Ardat Lilitu…?” Gandr muttered in shock.

“Make her your Vestal, no doubt about it!” “I agree,” Sha added.

“She’s quite a good match to us” Lucivar was surprised to hear them say that, especially coming from Sha.

She was arrogant as Sutekh.

Since she praised this ‘Ardat Lilitu’, it goes without a doubt that Ardat Lilitu is very strrong.

“Who is she?” Lucivar whispered inaudibly.

Gandr shook his head, “It doesn’t matter.

Make her yours, and you’ll gain a strong ally” Despite not being given a direct answer, Lucivar didn’t mind-he would keep in mind to make Sabrina his second Vestal after Morriva.

Speaking of Morriva, Lucivar recalled something, ‘Oh yeah, I also should pay a visit to her soon.

She deserved it’ Shaking his head, Lucivar focused back on Sabrina as a thought came to mind.

“Hey, what violence aroused you?” “Can I really say it?” “Yes, I’m your master and I’m also trustworthy” “Well, I like it when they are helpless and begging.

It excites me so much” “Oh…

you don’t say,” Lucivar smirked, it seemed bringing Sabrina along was the right thing.
