Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Replaced Coldly Chapter 184: Replaced Coldly Done with the necessary steps, Lucivar spent the next day progressing his power.

He was devouring the piles of golden spheres greedily, changing the material of his Supernatural Ego without pause.

Other than necessary classes and training, he spent his day inside his room to focus on reaching the appropriate level to fight Caldaros.

It was peaceful.

For some reason, he didn’t see the others around.

Other than Ravenna and also Bakar, he didn’t catch sight of the others.

Although he was slightly curious as to where the others went, he had better things to do.

On the second day, Lucivar’s expression twitched.

He was currently inside his Inner Chamber, cross-legged, absorbing the golden spheres greedily with both Sha and Gandr idling near their respective God statues.

Before him, his Supernatural Ego, taking the shape of a winged egg began to hum with a brilliant golden light.

Its right wing has completely changed material, turning translucent and golden.

Breaking through to the next small realm permeates a pleasurable sensation through his body but at this moment, that very pleasuring sensation was overpowered by pain.

On his back, the skin of the left side of his back began to crack and open.

Blood squirted out, forcing a groan to escape his mouth.

As expected, reaching the second star prompted his second wing to grow.

Even though it was as painful as before, Lucivar didn’t coil and twist on the ground like back then.

Instead, he stayed seated-eyes closed, enduring the pain with all his might.

Veins could be seen popping across his body, his pain nerves were stimulated violently as a small wing poked up in the form of bone constructs.

It lasted for five full minutes and when it was done, blood was already pooling around him and the wind only grew to the length of his hand.

“Eurgh…” Lucivar groaned as he opened his eyes.

He glanced back over his shoulder but still couldn’t see the wind properly, he needed a mirror.

Fortunately, he has the Arcane Mirror.

Summoning the mirror, he checked his second wing and sighed dejectedly.

“I guess I need to at least reach the Chrysalis rank to develop-my second wing properly,” He mused, tilting his body left and right to view the second wing.

“Only then would I be able to fly.

Until then, I’m stuck with this small thing” Just as he was checking his second wing, he tilted his head upwards.

“Lucivar!

You need to look at this!” A voice echoed inside the chamber.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar raised an eyebrow-this voice definitely belonged to Sabrina.

Realizing that she was calling for him, Lucivar disappeared from his Inner Chamber and opened both of his eyes slowly.

He blinked a couple of times and saw Sabrina sitting beside the bed facing him with an open scroll in her hand.

“What is it?

Are you surprised by the amount of money offered again?” Lucivar asked.

Instead of scouring through the letters sent by multiple factions that wanted to become his sponsor, he told Sabrina to be the one to do it instead.

He decided on three sponsors-and there was still one quota left-the Trading Union and the Feradith Family occupied the other two slots.

His requirements for the third sponsor were quite simple.

He only wanted the faction to be well-known and also provided the most benefit for him.

Sabrina could use her bias, he didn’t care.

Having two sponsors tailored specifically for him was enough, the third one was an accessory.

“No,” Sabrina shook her head, her countenance displayed great concern.

“This one came this morning.

I instantly opened it without checking who the seal belonged to but it was from the Feradith Family and it wasn’t good news” Upon hearing this, Lucivar frowned in confusion, “Callista?” Early in the morning-with the Crimson Wolf Clan on his back, Lucivar decided to accept the new offer both Thalia and Elira brought to him.

He accepted the Feradith Family as his second sponsor and with that, he considered the matters with them done.

But it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Snatching the scroll from Sabrina’s hand, Lucivar quickly skimmed the content.

At the end of it, both his hands slowly dropped as a mixture of shock and confusion crept to his face.

“What in the heck happened?” He murmured silently.

Written on the letter bearing the seal of the Feradith Family and even signed by Callista herself, stated that the Feradith Family has pulled back their offer to be his sponsor.

Lucivar needed to double-check to see if what he was seeing was correct.

And it was.

No doubt, the Feradith Family cut ties with him.

“But why…?” Lucivar mumbled as his brows furrowed, he couldn’t understand why the Feradith Family pulled back like this.

“Both Elira and Thalia were desperate not too long ago.

It was clear that they wanted me to accept badly or else, who would protect them?” Other than him, there were only a small amount of people who could replace his position.

Just then, his expression darkened.

He grabbed his face with his hand, his emotions throbbing between excitement and anger.

“Caldaros…” He murmured grimly.

Upon hearing this, Sabrina also became worried.

She didn’t know the full scope of his plan but she knew that the Feradith Family was essential.

Lucivar invested a lot of energy in them.

Contrasting to what a normal person should feel if their plan was in tatters, a light chuckle escaped his lips-his shoulders rising up and down.

Sabrina glanced at him and found Lucivar smiling maniacally, and the small chuckle turned into a terrifying cackle.

During the time she became Lucivar’s personal maid, she saw him acting like this one time.

It was when he had a problem with Professor Fury and that time turned exactly in Lucivar’s favor.

As opposed to being worried, Sabrina felt pity instead.

No matter who was on the other side, she felt pity for those who chose to become Lucivar’s enemy.

Everything changed when the Feradith Family retracted their offer.

Lucivar has no clear access to both Elira-and Thalia as without the offer, he would not become their protector and that’s a problem considering the Crimson Wolf Clan tasked him to lure the twins.

Lucivar, even with his arrogance, wouldn’t take the Crimson Wolf Clan lightly.

From their exchange, he knew that their core group consisted of Werewolf Hybrids.

Although not a red-grade bloodline, Werewolf Hybrids were a pain to deal with-due to their extremely powerful healing factor.

Like a Vampire Hybrid who developed a thirst for blood the moment their own bloodline was awakened, Werewolf Hybrids instantly have a healing factor that’s enhanced during the night.

At Lucivar’s current stage, that healing factor is way better than his Greedy Grasp ability.

He wouldn’t stand a chance if that old man or the blonde man-Ragnar, Drake’s son, the one who has a problem with Thalia’s father-were sent after him.

Both were far too powerful and if either decided to kill him, he would undoubtedly be in a lot of trouble.

Lucivar couldn’t have that.

Nodding his head, he quickly went to change his uniform.

“Where are you going?” Sabrina asked.

Without stopping to change, Lucivar answered, “To handle the mess, of course” … “How about Saturday?” “I don’t know… It’s still dangerous for me to go out and my family is going to be worried.

Especially my sister, I need to always be there for her.

You know… I need to keep staying beside her and be strong.

I don’t want her to feel pressed by all of this” “It has always been about your sister for you, when are you going to think about yourself?” Sitting on a secluded bench near the female student dorm was a couple.

Just the pink hair alone shows that the woman was Elira while the other person was Axel.

It seemed they were in an argument.

Hearing this, Elira looked down in silence-contemplating about what Axel said.

“Matter of fact,” Axel added, reaching out his hand to hold Elira’s, giving her strength-through a firm touch.

“Stop thinking entirely.

Just follow what your heart wants.

I know deep down, you wanted to be free.

I’m offering you that freedom, even if that’s only a day.

Please, Elira, I want to see you happy, you deserve it.

Saturday, alright?”‘ Upon hearing this, Elira sighed-glancing at Axel helplessly.

She could see the desire and love behind his eyes, forcing her to bite her lower lip, teetering on an answer.

Finally, she forced out the words, “Okay…” Almost instantly, Axel’s expression brightened-and he instantly stood up.

“Saturday, I’ll wait for you!” He said, turning away as soon as he got the answer as if he didn’t want to linger around and give Elira the time to change her mind.

“I’ll prepare everything.

I’ll make sure that it is safe, and you can have fun!” Axel waved his hand before running away, sprinting back to his dorm before curfew.

On the other hand, Elira was left alone on the bench.

She leaned back and looked at the starry night, “Really…?

Why can’t I say no to him?” Elira stayed there for a moment with her eyes closed, enjoying the night breeze.

Just then, however, she opened her eyes again, “I never knew you were the one to stalk someone” “The same goes for you,” Lucivar emerged from the shadows, walking leisurely without a care in the world.

“You are proud and full of confidence, I never knew you were the type to be in love, especially with a guy like that.

On that note, Axel should have thanked me for hooking you two up” Upon hearing this, Elira turned towards him-her gaze as sharp as a blade.

“What do you mean by that?” She asked as she watched Lucivar sitting on the bench beside her.

Pausing for a second, Lucivar cast a brief, condescending glance at her, “Because of me, you’ve become humbler, more dependent.

Having your future utterly destroyed tends to have that kind of effect, turning someone from proud and arrogant to obedient and reliant” “Funny, coming from someone who came here to beg,” Elira smirked, she knew that Lucivar was urged to come here because he had read the letter her mother sent.

“You know, once my family is cleared, you will be the first one my father will take down.

I’ll make sure of it” As soon as she said that, she stood up-intending to head back to the dorm.

She didn’t want to be seen talking with Lucivar.

“Oh, and by the way,” Elira stopped, glancing at Lucivar once again.

“If you come here to find out the person who replaced you, then I could help you with that.

I can say that you’ve been betrayed, you will be surprised” Lucivar frowned but he put that on the back of his mind, that wasn’t why he came here.

“I’m here to give you a friendly warning,” He said aloud, forcing Elira to stop once again.

He then stood from the bench and pivoted towards her nonchalantly, “Love can make you blind.

I’m here to warn you that Axel is not like what he seemed” Elira scoffed when she heard this, “Get something better to do, this kind of trick wouldn’t work on me” Giving no time for Lucivar to run his mouth again, she quickly left.

As he watched Elira’s back disappearing into the dorm, Lucivar sighed and turned away.

“Now, now… what was that about Saturday?” He smirked.
