Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Falcon-tier Chapter 185: Falcon-tier In the next couple of days-after the news of the Feradith Family’s decision, Luciviar juggled his days between training and searching for Thalia.

He wanted to know more about the situation and Thalia was a great source of information.

Going after Elira might’ve been a stretch for him.

Considering that he has no connection with her other than resentment, he realizes that it was a bad idea.

Because of that he changed target and decided to aim for Thalia instead.

Unlike Elira who Lucivar has barely talked to, Thalia was entirely different-he could make use of her.

But then again, he approached Elira because of the Mischief Panes.

He used one of the higher essence bars to purchase an opportunity and it the green light went to Elira.

Surely, his answer to this problem lies in Elira.

Because of that, he went to see if he could probe her but it ended up backfiring a little.

Of course, he was lucky enough to overhear the conversation between Elira and Axel-that was one good thing he obtained, from that night.

However, it seemed because of that, Elira also told Thalia to hide from him.

‘Elira must’ve known that Thalia would be swayed so she did this,’ Lucivar pondered with a frown.

Rather than risking Thalia giving information away, Elira must have decided to tell her to hide-for the time being and be conscious of Lucivar.

His movement was predictable but he has to try.

Nobody other than Thalia could help him.

He couldn’t ask for the others’ help either.

Other than some of them going missing, he didn’t want Leandra to know about this more than anyone.

Sabrina was the only one who could help-the two of them searched for Thalia but finding her was way harder than they thought as the students mostly revolved around the main building, and that place was quite big with many spots to hide or hang out.

Heck, if Thalia stayed inside her class-Lucivar would have no way of contacting her.

Lucivar even tried intercepting her during lunch break, waiting by the cafeteria.

But there was no sign of her, it was as if she vanished completely.

In the last couple of days, he failed to find Thalia but his training was going smoothly.

By the first day, Lucivar was still absorbing the golden spheres when out of nowhere, he felt a surge in Loki’s energy inside of him.

Naturally, he went to check what had happened, going to his Inner Chamber, and found that Loki’s essence bars were refilled.

Not to mention, his arcane points also surged-he now has 20 arcane points again.

Of course, he was confused.

He initially thought that he somehow manipulated someone out there indirectly but Gandr told him that it wasn’t that, it was because of Morriva instead.

She made her first sacrifice by manipulating someone or something, and her success also rewarded Lucivar.

Just from that alone, Lucivar was glad that he put effort into Morriva.

‘If she kept going like this, I might be tempted to visit her again soon’ Lucivar praised her in his mind.

She was dedicated even when he wasn’t there.

But then again, he did make her feel reliant on him so she must’ve badly wanted to meet him by now.

On the second day, he already absorbed the entire golden spheres he amassed from Kalinan City, fully settling him as a second-star Acolyte rank.

On top of that, realizing that he couldn’t quite amass a lot of Sutekh’s essence bars while he was in the academy, he also decided to upgrade his arms and legs within the stone tablet.

Just like the first time, the process was painful.

Lucivar has become well-versed in enduring pain but that wasn’t something he was proud of.

If he could, he doesn’t want to feel pain at all.

However, since he was still weak compared to what he wanted to achieve, he couldn’t be picky.

Once the process was over, Lucivar could feel his physique becoming stronger but as it ended, he was greeted by a surprise.

His rank assessment changed exponentially from low papyrus tier to low falcon tier, which also came with benefits.

… [Falcon-tier Enhancements] Falcon Senses: Hearing, sight, and smell sharpen to superhuman level.

Galeheart Physique: Harmony of the muscles, improving bodily coordination to superhuman level.

… Reading the two enhancements he had obtained on the stone tablet, Lucivar tilted his head.

He looked down and saw his body humming with a bronze hue for a brief moment before disappearing once again.

Something changed inside of him, Lucivar could feel it.

Just then, he turned his head to the side, hearing a voice seeping into his ears.

“Not enough.

Don’t be happy yet, you need to become stronger faster” the voice said.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar could tell that it was Sha-reprimanding him.

“I’m not that hap-” In the middle of his sentence, he stopped.

Lucivar looked left and right but saw Sha nowhere-but since he could hear her voice, she must be nearby but there was no sign of her.

Just then, he looked up at Sutekh’s statue and found her sitting on top of the statue’s head, far away from him.

She was smiling as she whispered, “What do you think?

Quite a boost huh?” It was only then does Lucivar realized what she was trying to show.

“I can hear you from here…?” He mumbled in surprise.

From the distance between Sha and him, there was no way Lucivar could hear her whispering like that before but now with the Falcon Senses enhancement from being a Falcon-tier physique, he could hear her loud and clear.

Even his sight, one squint is all it takes for him to even a strand of Sha’s hair and that’s something.

As the description stated, his senses were amplified to superhuman levels.

Smiling inwardly, Lucivar exited his Inner Chamber and woke up in his room once again.

He was steadily getting stronger but he needed something more.

A way bigger golden sphere that would help him break through to higher ranks easily.

In order to do that, he would need to kill a very high-rank Hybrid and that’s what he was aiming to do.

But to achieve that, Lucivar still has no clue.

Placing both hands on the bed, Lucivar focused on his breathing-inhaling and exhaling at a rhythm as the mere thought of losing to Caldaros was eating him inside.

Not because he was afraid of losing but because the pain that would be inflicted on him was too much.

At this moment, he carried the hatred of all Loki’s previous avatars.

One hiccup in his path to reach the Chrysalis rank and beat Caldaros was troubling him greatly.

It was as if the hatred was making him insane from one small hiccup.

He couldn’t hold it anymore, his blood was burning in the last few days-he needed a way to vent.

Despite what he wanted, he couldn’t do that as he was in the academy.

Just then, he glanced to the desk on the side where a crumpled paper could be seen there.

Earlier today, the Crimson Wolf Clan contacted him through a guard who delivered a sealed note.

In the note were the details for the time and place where Lucivar was to lure Elira and Thalia, the settled time would take place on Sunday at the Ecclesia Sanguinis, a church that seemed to be a front for the Crimson Wolf Clan to do their shady businesses.

Clicking his tongue in displeasure, Lucivar walked out of his room.

‘Staying here wouldn’t help calm me down, I need to at least do something’ He pondered inside.

Moments later.

Lucivar met up with Sabrina and signaled to her to go to the rallying point to talk.

He saw her walking around the academy, seemingly searching for the twins so he pulled her to the side for a moment.

Not even needing to talk directly, Lucivar and Sabrina met in the garden-and went to a secluded bench to talk.

“Anything?” Lucivar started.

Sabrina sighed and shook her head meekly, “No sign of Thalia like usual but now, I can’t find Elira too” “Hmm?” He frowned, Elira was always easy to find.

Being a Succubus Hybrid, Sabrina could sense longing and love like Lucivar sensing killing intent, and that made it easy for her to find Elira.

So hearing her having trouble finding Elira was quite unexpected for him, “What about Axel?” “No sign of him either,” Sabrina looked down to her fidgeting fingers.

“Both of them disappeared today” Upon hearing this, Lucivar contemplated.

‘It’s not Saturday so they should have gone yet or perhaps did both of them decide to change their schedule because Elira suspected that I might overhear?

That’s possible.

Normally, students could not skip classes but both of them are accomplished…’ He pondered inside.

If he lost this chance, he would’ve been in trouble.

Just then, however, as he was contemplating his next steps a steely voice interrupted him.

“It’s too late to find her.

Besides, you don’t need to,” A voice crept from behind, stunning both of them.

Lucivar exhaled through his nose heavily when he heard the voice, he already knew who it was without even needing to turn to look at the person.

He leaned back his head-on the bench, looking at the clear night sky, and voiced, “Have you been following Sabrina?

Because I’m sure you’re not following me” Glancing to the side, Lucivar saw Leandra standing under the moonlight.

Her purple eyes glowing and filled with intent.

“I won’t be foolish enough to follow you, you’d know,” She mumbled and approached.

Out of everyone who would know about this, it has to be Leandra.

“So…?” Lucivar raised an eyebrow.

“What do you mean by what you said?” “Elira and Axel sneaked through the back to talk.

They are very careful along the way, and since Thalia knew about their relationship-they weren’t avoiding her.

I’m guessing they are avoiding you, both of them knew you were watching” She explained, pivoting her body away to look at the fountain.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar’s eyebrows dipped into a frown.

He was quite surprised to find that those two knew but was more surprised by Leandra.

‘How did she know about this?

Is she following them too?’ He questioned inside.

Realizing that something was wrong, Lucivar turned to look at her back, “What do you want, Leandra?” “I know that you had your eyes on the twins for some reason and I also knew exactly what Elira-and Axel talked about earlier.

Minutes earlier…” She quickly said in a firm and meaningful tone.

“Something happened, one that you might be interested in happened between them.

You do not need to find her today-because I know exactly what happened to them” “Are you going to stand in my way again?” Lucivar asked, his voice laced with threats.

But Leandra shook her head, “No, I want something in return for telling you what happened” “What’s that?” He asked, a little bit curious inside.

Just then, Leandra pivoted her body around to stare directly into Lucivar’s eyes.

Her gaze was steady and firm as she said, “I want you to take me with you in whatever you’re doing.

Don’t worry-I promise to you right here and right now that I am not going to sabotage you.

If I did, I’d have no problem letting you kill me” “I can kill you even if you are resisting,” Lucivar scoffed-and squinted his eyes.

“What games are you playing, Leandra…?”
