Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Mess with the Devil Chapter 200: Mess with the Devil Elira was at a loss for words.

It was true that their family suffered a lot but Lucivar saved not only Thalia but also her.

No matter the motives behind saving them, the fact still stood.

Even though Elira was distraught right now, she wasn’t dumb.

Lucivar wanted something, which was why he asked for her trust.

But even so, had it not for him detecting the bad people around her in advance-she would be in trouble if not outright dead right now.

So she doesn’t want Lucivar to be framed like this.

“Mom…” “Enough.

Get out of here.” Not even sparing her daughter a glance, Callista turned to the side and called her people.

A few Hybrids stepped inside and grabbed Elira forcefully and brought her away.

“Mom, don’t do this!

I’m not on board with this!

He saved me!

Doesn’t you value that?!” As she was being dragged away, Elira fought back-shouting at Callista to let Lucivar go but she was overpowered-and her words were ignored.

It was frustrating, the anger in her voice became more and more palpable through each word but there was nothing she could do.

She was brought away-her voice disappearing in the distance.

Once she was gone, Callista turned to Mirel.

“You leave too,” She demanded sternly.

“the Hybrid Association will handle the rest” “Madam,” Mirel straightened his back.

“Lucivar is like a family to me.

I’m sure there’s another way…” “Oh…?” Callista raised an eyebrow, “Are you talking back to me?” Noticing the threat and determination behind her expression, Mirel clenched his jaw hard-his breaths were becoming heavy as he teetered between two decisions.

Soon, he inhaled deeply and turned to face Lucivar, “I’m sorry…” Upon saying that, Mirel walked away-leaving the place.

It was quite shocking to see Mirel leave, at least for Leandra as she knew he was a good person.

‘His hands must’ve been tied, there’s no way he’d betray Lucivar like this’ She thought inside.

Snapping out of her trance, Leandra wanted to be the one who stayed behind with him but Sabrina out of nowhere grabbed her arm and pulled her close.

Leandra kept gazing ahead while Sabrina whispered to her, “Don’t get involved.

Master Lucivar will need someone outside for this so don’t retaliate.

Leave.

He will need you” Leandra swallowed hard as she contemplated what Sabrina said.

And from a logical standpoint, she was right.

“Okay,” She nodded.

“I’ll stay out of this” Once Leandra answered, Sabrina stepped forward-and announced, “I’m Master Lucivar’s personal maid.

As her maid, I’m a part of him.

If he was charged for killing student Axel and will be brought to trial, then I’m naturally master’s accomplice” Sneering, the Vampire Hybrid went over to Sabrina and tapped his finger on her forehead.

Almost instantly as he did that, her entire body shut down as she slumped to the ground.

She was paralyzed with a single touch.

“Even though you were siding with a criminal, your loyalty is commendable,” He complimented.

Callista then approached Lucivar slowly, her branded heels clacked against the concrete, dusty ground until she stopped directly in front of Lucivar.

As his hands were both pinned to the wall with the blood lances, he couldn’t do anything.

Both lances also absorbed blood.

Anyone who was stabbed by them would have their blood sucked to the point of paralysis.

Enough blood to keep them alive but very weak.

It was a torturous and brutal ability.

“Lift up your head, I want to see your face,” Callista said domineeringly.

Her voice was steady and firm but there was a vague hint of hesitance.

A hesitance that made Callista gripped her elbows tightly as if she was shivering.

Naturally, the night was cold but as a Hybrid, this kind of cold shouldn’t be able to affect her at all.

So this reaction from her must’ve come from something else.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar stiffened for a second before he slowly raised his head.

Callista could feel her heart pounding as he raised his head-it was very slow in her eyes and for some reason, she could feel the air of ominosity rising rapidly, ‘I got him.

He’s the one who was bound while I’m here standing freely.

I can do anything I want to him so why… why is it that I feel this sinking feeling in my stomach?’ ‘I’ve won so why is it that I’m still afraid of him?’ She bit her lower lip hard.

She knew that Lucivar wasn’t normal.

In fact, she suspected him to be the Devil’s incarnation but she won for God’s sake.

‘No… I must be still stuck at that night against him.

I’ve won now.

Once I placed him in custody and fabricated the news to bring down his reputation and clear my name, I could kill him to make sure that he never has the chance to mess with my family again,’ Callista nodded firmly, she yearned the day she said the words and ended Lucivar’s life for good.

Once Lucivar fully raised his face, her strong façade crumbled instantly.

Not that he has somehow turned the table but there was no fear or panic on his face.

Lucivar was still smiling-blood coated his teeth and drizzled down his chin.

It was the same exact smile he wore as that night when everything fell apart for Callista.

“Congratulations.

I didn’t see you coming at all.

You really got me good this time, Callista” Lucivar said, praising her instead of panicking like a Father proud of his daughter.

“I guess we’re equal now in terms of our score.

But then again, I still feel the need to ask this… Are you sure?” Upon hearing this, Callista swallowed hard unconsciously.

She expected Lucivar to break down, to plead for mercy, to panic-but he did none of that.

Now, the conviction inside her began to waver Even though she seemed to be in control, Lucivar’s expression made her feel like she wasn’t.

“You could forget what I did and move on since I have saved your two daughters.

Not to mention, you still have the Crimson Wolf Clan and this gang that you need to deal with,” Lucivar then unhingedly leaned forward, ignoring the tear he caused in his hands for doing so.

“After all as you might know-If you mess with the Devil…” He stuck out his tongue like a lunatic, gazing directly into Callista’s eyes.

A face that sent a shiver down her spine.

“You may find yourself becoming his favorite game!” Lucivar laughed humorously.

His words flowed out smoothly from his blood-drenched mouth.

Callista’s heart skipped a beat when he said that.

However, the Vampire Hybrid on the side quickly stepped in and slapped Lucivar’s face hard.

“Stop spouting gibberish, criminal” He said coldly as he brought Lucivar and Sabrina away.

Once freed by the blood lances, Lucivar tried to grab Callista but he only managed to grab her left hand before the Vampire Hybrid kneed him on the stomach and slapped him again hard, easily swatting his advances.

Passing Callista, he then said, “I’ll make sure he suffers, don’t you worry” Snapping from her petrified trance, Callista gritted her teeth as she pointed at Lucivar with her index finger in anger, “You lose, you lunatic bastard!!

You lose!!” She shouted-veins bulged across her neck.

“This is the difference between a nobody like you and me!

My connections will make you and everyone you hold dear suffer!

I’ll make sure of it, you bastard!!” Even as the Vampire Hybrid along with Lucivar and Sabrina were gone, Callista kept shouting insults.

Although she was known to be a woman of elegance, that crumbled at this moment.

Once she vented everything out-she got this excruciating headache.

It forced her to lean against the wall, a hand massaging her forehead.

Five full minutes was the amount of time she needed to calm down and clear her head from the cloud of anger.

She looked around at the empty place filled with corpses, and for a second there, she saw the closest corpse to her was herself.

As the anger faded, she couldn’t help but wonder a question that nagged her mind at this moment.

Has she made a mistake?

… Outside of the building.

Leandra walked out and met Mirel’s gaze.

She quickly averted her gaze away-and headed back to the academy, needing time to think clearly.

As she was walking, Mirel grabbed her hand but she quickly pulled her hand back and slapped him.

“Don’t touch me,” Leandra said coldly, pointing at his face.

“You turned your back on your family and sided with our enemy.

Do you know the punishment for an academy hunter who killed a student?

Death.

I will report this to Master Tobias and have him give you a suitable punishment” Saying her piece, Leandra turned around to leave but Mirel stopped her again.

“Listen to me,” He begged.

“I want to participate in the South Hues tournament so I need to approval of the professors.

I approached Professor Aeldric, the same professor who made a deal with Lucivar, and struck a deal with him that was also life or death for me.

If I lost the Feradith Family as my sponsor, I would essentially die” “You?!

What did you promise him?” Leandra barked in anger.

Pausing for a second in hesitation, Mirel finally sighed.

He might as well tell her the truth.

“If I fail, I will be a permanent academy hunter of Bloodhaven Academy,” Mirel confessed.

Upon hearing this, Leandra’s eyes widened for a second in complete shock.

Once her mind registered what he said, she slapped him again but this time was harder.

“Master Tobias took you in and you easily agree to the condition of leaving your family?!” Leandra’s voice boomed as her blood boiled.

“Mirel, are you insane?!

If Master Tobias knew about this, he would be heartbroken!” “Yeah, I know!” Mirel stressed, pulling on his hair.

“But don’t worry-I only promised that without any intention of fulfilling it.

If I was forced, I’d kill myself.

No matter what, I’m not going to betray Master Tobias and the others.

I’m not going to betray our family” Leandra massaged her forehead, clearly at a loss for words.

Silence enveloped them for a brief moment.

But then, their eyes were pulled to the Hybrid Association cars that were parked outside.

Both saw Lucivar and Sabrina being thrown inside roughly.

Callista blamed Axel’s death on him.

With her connections, Lucivar would never be proven to be innocent-and the two know it.

“That being said, I’m not saying that I won’t be helping Lucivar get out of this mess,” Mirel muttered, his eyes narrowing at the car as his mind searched for a solution.

“I only can’t do it openly but I’ll definitely help.

Just contact me when you need something from the inside” “Sigh…” Leandra sighed.

“I’ll see what I can do.

Get close to Elira, she can certainly help”
