Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: You Shoul kill Yourself Chapter 173: You Shoul kill Yourself Morning came.

Lucivar tried his best to coax Gandr to cough up his plan but failed miserably.

He also asked Gandr the important question that lingered in his mind, the reason why he couldn’t use Sutekh’s abilities earlier.

Not only the Triune Scarab couldn’t be activated but he also couldn’t use the Fang of Ankh.

It made him feel his power-up was almost useless if he couldn’t use both abilities at the same time.

However, no matter how much pestering he did, Gandr’s lips were sealed shut.

Even though Lucivar obtained no answer, his silence led to several possibilities.

But for now, he decided to put them at the back of his mind-it wasn’t the time for him to think that.

Maybe once the threat to his life disappeared, he could come back to this.

Due to the thoughts inside his mind and the replay of his battle against Caldaros, Lucivar slept late and felt terrible when he woke up.

Once his eyes opened, however, he saw a peculiar sight.

He saw Sabrina sitting on a chair beside the bed, a scowl marring her face.

Glancing to the other side, he saw Ravenna humming happily while tying her hair.

Her hourglass body was accentuated by the light from the window.

“What’s with the tension?” Lucivar asked, sitting up with a mild groan.

“It’s still early in the morning” “Early?

It’s ten already,” Ravenna mumbled, as she went over to the bathroom.

As she did that, Lucivar rubbed his still-cloudy eyes and found a tray of food on the bedside table.

Just that alone made everything click.

“Did you bring me breakfast on bed?” He asked, turning to Sabrina.

Upon hearing this, Sabrina nodded and cast an annoyed glance at Ravenna who was taking a towel.

“I told her to grab more but she fought for the tray with me,” Ravenna shrugged nonchalantly.

“By the time she gave up, the breakfast time was already over.

And now she’s sulking over there, blaming me when it’s clearly because of her own stubbornness” Despite her mounting anger, Sabrina only bit her lower lip.

She was annoyed but her standing was way lower than Ravenna’s, she was only Lucivar’s personal maid.

“So basically, you stole from me,” Lucivar commented, putting down his feet to sit-on the edge of the bed.

“The food is mine, so you stole from me.

Don’t do that again.

Go-and fetch me something since you ate mine, check if Leandra is nearby.

I want to go to Nerissa” Ravenna was stunned.

On the other hand, Sabrina cast her a smug look hearing Lucivar taking her side.

Naturally, Ravenna’s mouth opened, wanting to say something but she decided to swallow her words back.

“Fine…” She flicked her hair.

“I’ll do it after I shower” “Don’t use that tone as if I’m the bad guy here, you’re the one who started this.

I just woke up!” “Alright Mr.

Taking My Lovely Maid’s Side, whatever you say” “Really?

It’s going to be like that, huh?” Lucivar clicked his tongue.

“Where’s your maid anyway?” “Not everyone got their own personal maid,” She answered-as she grabbed several of her uniforms too.

“Master Tobias is playing favorite, I bet.

Everyone fought for his attention but when you arrived, you suddenly got all the attention from him” “Wait, what?

I thought everyone got a personal maid” Lucivar raised an eyebrow.

He still remembered Leandra having one so he was surprised to find Ravenna not having one.

“It’s not like we didn’t get any, it’s just not permanent,” Ravenna shrugged and went over to the toilet, turning to look at Lucivar with her naked, flawless body on full display.

“Mine has already gone back to the mansion-so I do not have any now.

Only you and Leandra have a permanent one” Once she said that she disappeared behind the door.

Lucivar, on the other hand, was puzzled, “Why’s mine permanent?

Isn’t this some sort of reward?” Reflecting on his actions before arriving at the mansion, Lucivar frowned, unable to pinpoint anything that would warrant Tobias’ attention.

No-one thing came to mind.

‘Does he know I killed Darwin?

If that’s the case, why am I being rewarded?

Why’s Sabrina with me permanently?

Shouldn’t I be punished or kicked out instead?’ Other than killing Darwin, he didn’t do anything substantial.

‘Leandra also has one so it must be the killing of Darwin…’ Lucivar massaged his forehead.

He really didn’t know what was going on but he would ask Tobias the next time they met.

Something is missing about Tobias and he could feel it now.

Half an hour before twelve, Lucivar and the others walked out of the hotel.

It was time for them to leave this city behind and return to the academy, resuming their lives as Hunters.

Just as he was about to head toward the SUV ready to bring them to the main city gate, a hand grabbed his shoulder.

Lucivar turned and realized that it was Mirel.

Surprisingly enough, he was wounded here and there-burnt scars marred his body.

Both of them were behind while the others were already ahead.

“Did you do what you should’ve done years ago?” Lucivar asked, curiously.

Even though he didn’t know what Mirel was doing, he saw the lightning strikes in the distance at night, almost like the judgment from heaven.

It came from outside of the city and playing by his guts, it must be Mirel’s doings.

Mirel smiled weakly and nodded, “Yes, wait for my challenge.

I’m coming for your position” “Anytime,” Lucivar waved.

“I’ll take on your challenge anytime” “Also, we’re even now,” Mirel continued-walking past Lucivar.

“I do not know what’s going on last night but I helped you so because of that, we’re even.

You wake me up from my weak stupor and now I helped you do whatever you’re doing” Upon hearing this, Lucivar scratched the back of his head.

‘I’m not trying to help you, though, but I don’t mind the favor,’ He thought, then headed for the SUV Not expecting anything, Lucivar and the others were greeted by a spectacular sight.

Knowing that they were going to leave the city today, the people had already gathered on the street and even took the time to decorate the street heading towards the main gate with flowers.

People showered roses on the passing SUVs, showing their absolute gratitude.

All of them cheered and waved their hands, bidding goodbye to their heroes who saved the city.

Had it not for Lucivar and the other academy hunters, their city would’ve been leveled.

But now the danger had come to pass.

Inside the SUV with him, Nerissa placed her hands on the window-viewing the spectacular sight.

“Saving the city like this…” She mumbled meekly.

“Feels really good” “It’s not that saving the city felt good,” Ravenna intervened, her gaze shifting to the crowds outside.

“It is the way their cheers and reverence breathe life into you, reminding you that you’re alive.

Surviving the blue dungeon didn’t just keep you alive-it made you feel alive” “Felt more alive, huh…” Lucivar muttered inaudibly.

Remembering his life before he awakened his dormant bloodline and also the five Gods inside of him, the life he has now was a stark contrast.

Back then, it was mundane with him waking up early, hunting, and being scolded by his family.

Now, every single day was akin to a blessing.

‘Killing others made me feel alive, becoming stronger made me feel alive, pursuing something made me feel alive,’ Lucivar smiled inwardly, his life had changed.

He avoided good karma in his last breath and that allowed him to survive.

‘Seeing these people cheering me on, not knowing that they were cheering the person who manipulated them and killed many of them… it felt nice.

I wonder, will cheering me on give them bad karma?’ Lucivar shook his head.

He took the time to relax and empty his mind as there were a lot of things he needed to do later.

‘Gandr said I’m going to battle Caldaros in the tournament, that’s a tight schedule.

Since Caldaros is the top-ranker in the academy, he would gain approval easily.

One academy could send three candidates and quota wouldn’t be a problem for him too’ Lucivar pondered and closed his eyes.

As if it was not bad enough with the deal with Professor Aeldric choking on him, another problem came.

Now his life was really on the line.

If it’s about the deal with Professor Aeldric, he could technically try to escape if he failed.

But with Caldaros there, he doubted that there would be any chance for him to escape.

“I look forward to the version of me once I come out of this…” Lucivar mused, excited inside.

Just then, the driver glanced to the side and found Lucivar sleeping.

He then looked through the rear-view mirror.

“By the way,” He started, peeking at Nerissa and Ravenna.

“The governor wanted me to tell you that the city will make sure your deeds will be remembered.

When you have the time in the future, please visit the city again” Upon hearing this, Nerissa and Ravenna exchanged a look.

“We’ll do that,” Ravenna spoke the first, nodding her head.

Once the SUVs went past the main gate, Lucivar and the others got down.

Both of the bus drivers were waiting for them outside, smoking a cigarette nonchalantly.

“Lucivar, look!” Nerissa pointed to the side at the crowd of volunteers outside, and among them were two familiar figures that they had met before going to take down the blue dungeon.

“It’s that little girl and her mother!” Lucivar glanced to the side and saw Pippa and her mother.

Unlike before, Pippa was full of life and was smiling-a stark contrast to her mother.

As he saw them, Lucivar glanced to the main gate and saw the people were there.

Sighing lightly, he approached Pippa with steady steps and kneeled down on one knee to match her eye level.

Looking at the flower she was holding, Lucivar’s eyes slightly widened, “Perfect yellow kadupul flower representing profound gratitude or royalty, it’s very rare and would never wither.

Are you sure giving me this?” “An heirloom from grandma,” Pippa blossomed a gap-toothed smile.

“Mister, thank you for saving us” Lucivar accepted the flower and messed her hair tenderly, “Take care of yourself, okay?” “Yes!” Pippa answered cheerfully.

Once that was done, Lucivar raised his gaze to look at Pippa’s mother who was avoiding eye contact.

He then stood up and approached her.

“I’m worried about Pippa,” He stated, prompting Pippa’s mother to look at him with a mix of fear as well as confusion.

“I can’t kill you now with everyone watching.

If we did not get interrupted, I would’ve killed you painlessly but you attracted good karma.

I’m afraid a worse evil will be your fate” Upon hearing this, Pippa’s mother’s complexion became paler.

She didn’t know what to make of what Lucivar said.

“I don’t expect you to understand,” Lucivar sighed deeply, stepped close, and put a hand on her weak shoulder.

A touch from him made her flinch but she could not pull away as Lucivar leaned forward to her ear.

“But think about what I’m saying carefully.

If you want to save your daughter from that evil, you should kill yourself…”
