Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Personal Hatred Chapter 186: Personal Hatred Lucivar gazed at her intently as if he were probing her mind through his gaze.

He was wondering what she was doing as he hadn’t seen her around but to think that she was stalking Sabrina, which was quite unexpected.

In hindsight, he shouldn’t be trusting Leandra to be a part of what he was currently doing-considering her stance.

It is clear that she doesn’t have the heart to be on the evil side.

‘But for some reason, I’m inclined to trust her.

Instincts… My instinct is telling me I could trust her’ He pondered inwardly-the air around Leandra changed, there was no hostility or inclination of wanting to sabotage him.

Leandra, seeing the hesitation and untrust, took a couple of steps closer.

Seeing this, Lucivar was forced to look up at her-meeting her serene and calm gaze.

“Isn’t this what you wanted?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I’m listening to you now.

As opposed to fighting you, I will be trying to understand you instead,” She lifted her index finger, its tip glowing with purple light-manifesting an ethereal hand, the manifestation of her telekinesis ability and pointed it at Lucivar’s forehead.

“I’m going to understand what’s in there,” She murmured, her eyes narrowing with conviction before her ethereal index finger traced down to the center of his chest, pointing at his heart.

“And see what was inside here” Upon hearing this, Lucivar cackled lightly.

“You’re talking big for someone who knew nothing about me,” He mocked.

“Don’t meddle, Leandra” “I tried sabotaging your plan and yet you didn’t kill me when as you said, you could… why?” Instead of being instigated, Leandra answered with a question.

“Considering your personality, you should have killed me by now.

So why didn’t you do it…?” Lucivar’s lips were pursed tight, he wasn’t willing to answer that question.

And Leandra also didn’t need him to answer.

“Is it because we’re close?

Is it because I’ve seen the real you?

No… None of that was the reason, the real reason” Leandra shook her head and took another step closer, this time she was standing right in front of Lucivar-and looking down at his eyes.

“It’s because you have a soft spot.

Not for me or the others, but to Delilah…” As soon as that name was mentioned, Lucivar’s expression darkened.

He opened his mouth, trying to refute but no words came out.

“Are you going to deny it?” Leandra raised an eyebrow, a light smile-donning her lips.

Her eyes then traced down to Lucivar’s pocket, “Are you also going to deny that broken phone you have in your own pocket isn’t Delilah’s?” Instinctively, Lucivar reached for his pocket and clutched the phone through his pants.

For some reason, Leandra was able to see through him.

“You didn’t kill me because you treasured Delilah, and Delilah treasured us,” Leandra continued, pushing Lucivar to the corner.

“It’s a sign of respect for the last time you trust in the force of good.

Am I wrong?

Do you still think I don’t know anything about you?” “You damn, witch…” Lucivar cursed but his lips curled into a manic smile.

“How do you know that?” “I’m not a witch, I’m a Star Witch,” Leandra replied with the same manic smile.

“I can see your dreams and that tells me all I need about you.

So, Luciva-what do you say?

Will you allow me to be by your side and try to see through you or are you afraid that I might really change you?” “Afraid?” Lucivar chuckled.

“Bring it on.

But don’t be mistaken, you’re the one who’s going to change” Just as he said that, however, his eyes flashed with a brilliant golden light.

Lucivar grunted and fell down to the floor, surprising both Sabrina and Leandra.

Swoosh!!

Out of nowhere, his entire body began to flare with golden ether-rampaging and pulsating to the area.

Recalling the time when Lucivar went out of control at Delilah’s death, Leandra reacted quickly-and channeled her ether to create a telekinetic barrier around him.

She charged it with an enormous amount of ether, suppressing Lucivar’s rampaging aura.

“Master Lucivar!

What’s wrong?!” Sabrina exclaimed from the side.

Leandra, on the other hand, exclaimed, “Keep a lookout!

Make sure nobody saw this!” Despite not being her master, Sabrina nodded her head and went away to make sure the area was clear.

Fortunately, the area they were in now was secluded and it was already night.

Barely any student was around so nobody should be nearby.

Feeling the same exact confusion and shock as the others, Lucivar cradled on the ground on all fours as his eyes widened, ‘What’s happening to me…?

I can feel it, I can feel my Inner Chamber shaking!

Gandr!

Sha!

What’s going on?!’ Despite his screams inside his head, none of the two responded.

And the ether inside of him was going out of control.

Had it not been for Leandra’s barrier, the entire academy would sense this rampage.

Moving his body was also impossible, the rampaging energy made his entire body from top to bottom frozen stiff-all he could do was to look down to the ground.

Just then, his eyes traced to his hand as he saw the golden ether was flickering with a pristine white color.

 It flashed and mingled a couple of times.

‘Lucivar!

Lucivar!!’ A voice called to him inside his mind-it was distant, light, but the emotions it carried were palpable.

‘I’ve heard this voice before…’ Lucivar pondered inside as he sweated profusely.

He could vaguely remember the same exact voice as the figure of light that appeared before Delilah’s death.

Just the thought of that figure alone, Lucivar’s eyes burned with anger, ‘Leave my head!!

I will not listen to you again!

Had I not listened to you… Delilah would still be alive!!’ ‘No, you’re wrong… you misunderstood.

It’s not me.

I don’t have time but you have to trust me!’ ‘Never!

Whoever you are, I will kill you!

Do you hear me?!

I will kill you!’ ‘Kill me or don’t, I don’t care.

At least, don’t kill Caldaros.

Talk to Sunna instead, don’t kill him!’ “RAARGHHK!” Kaboom!

Leandra gritted her teeth when a vicious shockwave exploded from Lucivar.

She kept her focus on maintaining the barrier-and she succeeded, even if only barely.

Once that shockwave’s residue came to pass, Leandra-saw that Lucivar’s aura was returning back to normal.

It took a couple of seconds for it all to go back to his body.

Once it did, she slowly took down the barrier to check on him.

Going on one knee beside him, Leandra placed a hand on his shoulder.

Almost instantly, she could feel the heat coming from his body-it was as if she was touching fire.

But it wasn’t because of ether rampage from earlier, it was because of something else.

‘He’s really angry,’ Leandra frowned-she could feel his wrath from the heat alone.

‘What happened?’ On the other hand, Lucivar’s mind was in chaos.

‘Who is she?

Tell me who she is!’ He screamed inside, demanding to know who the voice belonged to.

Upon hearing this, Gandr and Sha appeared beside him.

“She is nothing but a temptation…” Gandr answered with a hiss.

Sha nodded, but unlike Gandr, who remained composed, her anger was unmistakable-her face twisted into a scowl that spoke volumes, “Evil is not for the weak,” She spat.

“Only the strong, those deemed worthy by its standards, can hope to wield its true power.

You still have a long way to go to prove your worth to it and she… She’s but one of many obstacles on the path of true evil” Realizing that he wasn’t even worthy enough to know her identity, Lucivar’s face was ashen.

He then climbed back to his feet, his face hardening resolutely.

Leandra, who saw him standing up, also stood up and looked into his eyes.

She noticed that his mood had changed.

Unlike earlier, he was now vicious and cold-she knew that she needed to pull back.

Just then, Lucivar turned to look at her finally, “Tell me what you saw, I need to know it right now” … Moments later.

Non-verbally, Leandra and Lucivar have come to an agreement.

She would be his lackey for the problem concerning the Feradith Family and the Crimson Wolf Clan.

Earlier, not too long, around twenty minutes ago, Leandra was able to find Elira who sneaked away to the parking lot with Axel.

Being students, the guards were more lenient and since they promised to not leave for too long, they were allowed to step out.

Leandra couldn’t go after them but fortunately, Axel and Elira stopped not too far away.

Both of them were close enough that Leandra could hear their conversation from the main gate’s fence.

However, her luck instantly ran out when she saw Kalvin nearing her position.

She wanted to stay but she couldn’t, Kalvin would expose her location to Elira and Axel.

It was hard for her to avoid several Kalvins in the vicinity.

But she was able to see Axel and Elira from the distance and both of them seemed to be fighting.

Axel tried reaching for Elira’s hand a couple of times but she stepped back.

And it ended with Elira turning around to leave, leaving Axel behind who was frozen on his spot.

Just from the description Leandra provided alone, Lucivar could already guess what had happened and was annoyed that it had happened.

He needed to have Elira’s trust before Sunday, and their fight would ruin his plan.

Since the Feradith Family pulled back their offer, he couldn’t be the twins’ bodyguards.

Now he needed to adapt and has devised a plan in mind.

His life was on the line, he couldn’t fail this.

On the main gate, four guards could be seen smoking and bantering-trying to kill the night away.

Soon, a woman approached them from the distance.

It was Sabrina.

Realizing her presence, one of the guards raised an eyebrow, killed his cigarette, and approached Sabrina.

“Is there anything I could help you miss?” He asked politely.

Sabrina nodded softly, hesitant but clearly wanting help, “I’m a personal maid of an academy hunter.

It’s already past curfew but my master hasn’t come back yet, and I’m worried.

I heard there were assassins lurking inside the academy, and I’m worried something bad happened to him” “Can you please help me find him?” She asked, clasping her hands and wearing puppy eyes.

Hearing this, the guard scratched the back of his head.

Eventually, he called one of his friends and turned to Sabrina again, “Okay, we’ll help you find him” “Thank you!” Sabrina yelped-her expression brightened in an instant.

All three of them walked away from the main gate.

“Who is his name?

Let’s go to the admission office, there are people who could locate him there?” “Really?” “Yes, don’t worry-” Oblivious to them, a figure landed right behind the last two guards like a ghost.

In an instant, these two figures struck the back of the two guards’ heads-knocking them unconscious.

Lucivar and Leandra exchanged a look and nodded.

Glancing over to the parking lot, they saw Axel sitting under the street light seemingly stressed.

“Rock and roll…” Lucivar mumbled inwardly.
