Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Recruited and Punished Chapter 179: Recruited and Punished Like an unstoppable force, Lucivar’s fist broke the mohawk man’s arm and continued onward viciously, drilling into his stomach before sending him crashing away.

As his mastery over his Greedy Grasp was increased, the boost from the God strands also increased.

Despite the mohawk man being around the second star Acoly-rank Hybrid rank, he was beaten easily.

Fighting Caldaros twisted Lucivar’s perspective.

He was way stronger now compared to when he was before the blue dungeon.

Not to mention, he now has access to the Triune Scarab ability.

An ability that surprisingly uses twenty ego points, higher than even the Greedy Grasp ability.

Lucivar looked ahead at the mohawk man-who was sprawled near the wall with a completely broken arm.

His eyes slightly widened, surprised to see that three measly God strands caused that much damage, so much that he beat the mohawk man with a single punch.

Straightening his posture, he looked down to his fist.

‘Just before my fist-collided with his, I felt a burst of energy.

What was that?’ Lucivar pondered, both confused and also excited by that sensation.

But then, he realized what it was, ‘Synchrony, I activated synchrony which was why my attack became stronger’ Back when he learned about the Diamond-class spell, Gandr mentioned something to him.

A state called synchrony is where the ability uses the exact amount of ego points that the Hybrid has.

Since the Triune Scarab uses twenty ego points, which was also the number of ego points Lucivar has at the moment, the synchrony state was achieved and the strength boost from the red scarab made him more monstrous than before.

Lucivar sneered at the struggling mohawk man before turning to a pillar.

 “Come out, I know you’re hiding there” He called.

As soon as he said that, a figure clad in a perfect maroon suit walked out-clapping his hands lightly.

He seemed to be a rich blonde man in his late twenties with weird yellow eyes, mainly due to the fact that his pupils were slitted.

Gold rings-and necklace showed that he was as arrogant as his pocket was deep, someone who has everything in life.

Due to the gap between claps that were slow and deliberate made the claps sound mocking.

“Wow…” He cheered.

“You exceeded my expectations.

I now knew how you did what you did” Upon hearing this, Lucivar pivoted his body towards the blonde man and tilted his head.

“Who are you and what do you want with me?

You do know that this is kidnapping, something that the Hybrid Association wouldn’t take lightly,” Lucivar threatened to test the water as to who he was really dealing with.

“Especially since I’m a student” “A student?” the man chuckled.

“Don’t you mean an academy hunter?” Lucivar’s frown deepened, it seemed he was dealing with a force that could easily find out about him.

Just then, the blind old man appeared beside the blonde man.

His presence was so light that Lucivar forgot that the old man was the one who brought him here.

Not to mention, the people he beaten around him began standing back up again.

Some of them should be suffering from internal injuries but they didn’t seem to be in pain anymore.

But what surprised Lucivar the most was the mohawk man.

He has his right arm absolutely mangled from the clash but under Lucivar’s gaze, his right arm began reforming.

Bones went back to its original place and flesh covered the open wound until eventually, his arm returned back to normal.

No matter who this mohawk man was, his bloodline must have some sort of regeneration.

Glaring at Lucivar, the mohawk man exhaled from the nose roughly and walked to the blonde man.

In that brief second, Lucivar saw the mohawk man’s pupils flicker from normal to slit.

Just like the blonde man.

“Have you come to realize who we are?” the blonde man asked calmly.

Lucivar trailed the mohawk man as well as the other guys he had beaten up earlier as they went to stand beside the blonde man.

Once arriving there, for some reason, Lucivar could feel the air around them complimented each other.

“Werewolf Hybrids…?” He muttered whisperingly.

As soon as he said that, his eyes widened as it clicked inside his mind.

He wasn’t dealing with hired mercenaries by Callista or even Caldaros, no, he was dealing with a clan.

To be exact, it was the Crimson Wolf Clan-the Feradith Family’s enemy.

Seeing the realization behind Lucivar’s gaze, the blonde man smiled, “I like a smart one like you” “What does the Crimson Wolf Clan want with someone as small-and minuscule as me?” Lucivar asked, he didn’t know where this would be going so he needed to keep himself unthreatening.

“Going so far as kidnapping me is a bit going overboard when I’ll gladly talk” “Don’t worry too much” the blonde man waved his hand and went to sit by the hood of a car.

He clasped his hands together nonchalantly and looked at Lucivar again.

A pause enveloped the area for a brief second.

“You might not know me but I know you,” the blonde man declared, a smile donning his face.

“You’re the one who crushed Elira’s future completely, got the Feradith Family in trouble with the Council of the Light Concord, and damaged that bitch Callista’s reputation” Lucivar squinted when he heard this, “If you knew that, I don’t think I deserved being attacked” Considering that he basically helped the Crimson Wolf Clan indirectly from what he did to the Feradith Family, being ambushed like this seemed to be very unreasonable.

Instead of being attacked, they should be rewarding Lucivar.

“You forgot to mention one thing,” A chuckle slipped out of the blonde man’s lips as his eyes suddenly squinted with killing intent, and his aura flared-cracking the car he was sitting on with sheer pressure alone.

“You’re also the one who killed one of our men” “Fury…” Lucivar mumbled under his breath.

He didn’t know how the blonde man could know about that.

Since Professor Aeldric has taken care of the situation, he thought he wouldn’t be dragged to it.

But he was wrong.

Somehow, the blonde man knew about his involvement.

‘Maybe there’s still a mole inside the academy.

Axel is a prime suspect’ Lucivar suspected.

Just as Lucivar prepared to fight, seeing that the blonde man was channeling his ether and even had his fingernails turning into claws-the suppressing aura suddenly vanished as a smile crept to his face, “But today is the day for forgiveness, you still helped a lot so I’m not going to kill you.

Instead, I’m here to recruit you instead” “Recruit?” Lucivar frowned, this wasn’t in his plan.

Nodding his head, the blonde man then added, “You’re close with the twins, aren’t you?

Very close from what I’ve heard.

Not to mention, you’re also in the process of making a deal-with Callista so you are the perfect person for the job” It was clear that the blonde man wanted him to do something.

And refusing is not on the table.

For several days already, Lucivar has been researching both the head of the Feradith Family and also Drake and he had come to a conclusion.

He already knew who to choose, “And what exactly is the job that’s perfect for me?” “I want you… to lure Elira to a location,” the blonde man finally said.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar frowned.

Lucivar didn’t know how the blonde man found out but it seemed he knew about everything.

Since he was in the process of becoming the twins’ bodyguard, he could easily lure them to wherever he wanted them to be.

Callista’s people wouldn’t be too suspicious, and that would allow the Crimson Wolf Clan to do anything they wanted with them.

Based on Sabrina, the twins were being guarded at all times.

It seemed Callista struck a deal with the academy to allow some trusted people inside the academy grounds.

Lucivar didn’t find this odd since the Professor Fury incident was the academy’s fault.

If he were Callista, he could use that as leverage to strike a deal with the academy and that’s probably what Callista exactly did.

Due to that, the Crimson Wolf Clan might find it hard to get close but with a person like Lucivar-getting to Thalia and Elira would be easy.

Given this offer, Lucivar sweated a little as he glanced over to the people beside the blonde man.

Just like he did earlier, he could take out the five guys easily.

However, the blonde man and the old man were a problem.

Lucivar could sense the blonde man’s aura a little bit, signing that he was perhaps stronger, around the five-star Acolyte-rank-or even a Chrysalis-rank Hybrid.

But the old man, Lucivar could not sense his aura at all.

Even if he somehow won against the blonde man, beating the old man would be impossible.

It was clear that this was accept or be killed.

“I will accept under one condition,” Lucivar finally said, locking eyes with the blonde man once again.

Upon hearing this, the blonde man raised an eyebrow questioningly.

Pausing for a second and looking down, contemplating what he was going to ask for, Lucivar then gazed back up at the blonde man, “Regardless of what you knew about me, I don’t think I could make kills.

As long as you’re asking me only to lure her, I’ll do it” “What makes you think I’m asking you to kill?” the blonde man asked.

As he said that, the corner of his mouth was curling sharply.

Sighing lightly, Lucivar answered, “You only asked for Elira.

I presume you want me to get rid of the little sister” “Quite sharp for a mere academy hunter,” the blonde man nodded repeatedly, surprised.

“My apology, I forgot that above all, you’re still young.

I’m sure you haven’t even killed anyone before.

I’ll send someone to do the killings.

Your job is only to lure them, we’ll send you the details later.

Do you accept this?” “Not that I have a choice anyway,” Lucivar shrugged nonchalantly.

“So yes, I’ll accept” “Good…” the blonde man nodded and stood up.

Lucivar could breathe easily, he thought that this was going to be life-or-death.

Fortunately, it wasn’t.

Just then, however, his eyes bulged as his body bent forward when a powerful force suddenly struck his stomach.

Lucivar looked down at the floor as blood climbed his throat viciously and burst out from his mouth, signing internal damage.

Blinking his eyes, Lucivar looked up and saw the blonde man was right in front of him.

Surprisingly, the blonde man’s face was twisted in anger.

Additionally, a part of the blonde man’s face wasn’t formed, almost cut into sparkling silvery light.

“Invisibility?!” Lucivar exclaimed.

Moving to look at the blonde man who was sitting on the car’s hood, he found that the blonde man there was nothing more than a clone.

Before he could say more-another powerful blow struck his back and planted him on the floor.

Brak!

Then, the blonde man turned to leave, “As I said, you killed one of my men” “Haha~” Lucivar mumbled weakly.

“Fuck”
