Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Roots of Solution Chapter 201: Roots of Solution Inside the Hybrid Association car.

Lucivar spat the blood in his mouth to the side and leaned back.

His chest heaved up and down unevenly, showing that there was internal damage in his chest cavity.

“Lucivar…” Making the initiative, Sabrina crawled over to him and held his hand firmly.

“Here, I have more than enough ether.

I didn’t fight that much earlier-so my ether reserve is still full.

Use it to heal your wounds” Glancing at her weakly, Lucivar nodded and absorbed her ether using Greedy Grasp.

He replenished his God strands and used them all to heal his internal wounds as much as he could.

Breathing became way easier after five minutes of recuperating.

Once he recovered, he pulled his hand back and rested in silence-contemplating his situation.

“You don’t have to come with me-you know,” Lucivar suddenly said, sighing lightly.

He expected to be brought along but Sabrina surprisingly volunteered to come, “You could admit that you have nothing to do with me or even run away” “How could I do that…?” Sabrina shook her head.

“If it’s your fault then it’s also my fault” “If I get charged for the murder of a student, you know we would be thrown to a farming dungeon and work for the rest of our lives or even killed, right?” Lucivar added, inspecting Sabrina’s expression closely.

“We’d have no way of escaping then” “So be it,” She answered without hesitation.

“Not much going on with me other than you, anyway” Soon, the sound of engine rumbling could be heard as the car began to move.

Along the way, Lucivar closed his eyes to rest for a bit.

But his rest was disturbed by the two divine beasts’ bickering.

“You exposed yourself too much,” Gandr hissed, disappointedly shaking his head.

“Instead of doing the deed manually by yourself, you should’ve sent Sabrina to save Elira instead.

That way, you would not need to expose yourself to this much risk and get captured” “I don’t believe others to do my work,” Lucivar answered without even opening his eyes.

He could send Sabrina but he didn’t trust she would deliver.

Since his life was on the line, he ought to be the one-who did it so if he failed and got killed, it would at least be his own fault, “Besides, I wanted to be the one who did the killing.

It’s not that fun manipulating from the shadows” “Hmph!” Sha snorted.

“In that case, you lack effectiveness.

Do what you need to do and leave” “But…” Lucivar opened his eyes.

“I want to see Elira’s reaction…” Upon hearing this, Sha rolled her eyes but she couldn’t blame him either.

Seeing the arrogant Elira wearing a devastated face and even becoming more submissive than before, as if she were an entirely different person, it was a delightful sight.

However, there was no way that Sha would say that to Lucivar out loud.

It would only get into his head.

“So?

What are you going to do now?” Gandr asked with curiosity behind his eyes.

As always, whenever something like this happened, he and Sha refrained from reading Lucivar’s mind.

It was more entertaining for them to watch rather than learning his plan.

“Now…?” Lucivar lay down on Sabrina’s thighs, closing his eyes shut.

“I’m going to sleep for a bit” Several hundred meters away from the abandoned building.

A monstrous creature could be seen sneaking around the alley, keeping its eyes open-for anyone who could spot it.

Once the coast was clear, it continued away.

Its body was slightly bent forward and its hand was holding onto its chest.

Just from the way it limped, this creature was certainly in pain.

“I can’t believe it…” the Goblin Hybrid muttered through heavy pants. “I’m still alive?” Moments earlier when Lucivar was about to deal the finishing blow, he lost consciousness.

It must be because of the lack of blood.

Before blacking out completely, he already accepted that tonight would be his death-but surprisingly enough, he woke up once again.

He thought that this was the afterlife but when he saw Callista on the other side, venting, he realized that he wasn’t dead.

Surprisingly, the final attack missed his heart by an inch.

Even though he was still wounded and near death, he was still alive.

Looking over his shoulders, the Goblin Hybrid saw the Hybrid Association cars parked outside and he even saw Lucivar being brought out and thrown into the car.

He cracked a smile when he saw this sight, “As he said, maybe I’m indeed lucky.

My vitality was stronger, I survived thanks to that.

No matter, I’m going to repay that lunatic for what he did” Focusing back ahead, he sprinted away-disappearing around the corner.

Soon, the night passed.

It was a new day and the news of what Lucivar did reach multiple already.

Inside the student dorm, Elira was standing in front of the door to Thalia’s room.

Even though the situation involved the Hybrid Association, she wasn’t interrogated by them-but instead, she had been pleading all night long.

She asked Callista to let Lucivar go, but no matter how much she begged, it was futile.

Her mother knew people at a higher rank within the Hybrid Association branch.

And with that connection, she could easily frame Lucivar for any crime.

Elira even tried calling her Father but she couldn’t reach him.

Now, the weight of everything was wearing down on her shoulders.

Because of her insecurities-and emotions, she got lured by Axel and was almost caught-leaving behind Thalia who was as worried and fearful as her of their future.

She planned an escape from reality even if it was only for a day but that backfired completely.

Just the thought of doing something so selfish already made her guilty enough.

And now that it has come to a ruin, it bothered her even more.

‘If I got captured or died there, Thalia would be all alone…’ Elira pondered, pressing her head against the door, cursing herself inside.

‘I risked everything for a single day of fun.

How could I do that?

Now, because of me, Lucivar, the savior of my life was framed’ Having enough confrontation for the day, Elira turned away and headed back to her room.

She didn’t know if Thalia already knew what happened but if she hadn’t, Elira would tell her tomorrow.

As she entered her own room, she stopped dead in her tracks-when she saw Thalia sitting on the sofa facing the door.

Elira wanted to delay this confrontation but it didn’t seem to be possible now, not when Thalia turned out to be waiting for her to come back like this.

“Where were you?” Thalia asked, her face was icy cold.

Upon hearing this, Elira smiled a little even though it was forced, “I already told you what I’m doing” Once those words left her mouth, Thalia quickly approached her with wide steps.

Pah!

She slapped Elira across her face.

For a brief second there, Elira could feel the burn on her cheek spread as her eyes widened.

“Thalia…?” “Mirel told me about everything.

You went with that man on a romantic escape, disregarding your own safety-and you got betrayed for it!

What were you thinking?!

What happens if you die out there?

What do you expect me to do if you really died?!” Thalia bursts with emotions, shouting at Elira with tears drizzling down her face.

She was hurt and devastated-her eyes displayed that clearly.

“Even if Axel really was a good person, do you think the Crimson Wolf Clan is not going to get you?!” “Crimson Wolf Clan…?

They didn’t attack me, they di-” “Because Mirel stopped them!” Upon hearing this, Elira’s eyes widened as she didn’t know about this.

Axel also knew about the Crimson Wolf Clan so she expected that Axel was prepared a route for them away from prying eyes.

But now realizing that he was pressured, he must’ve been sloppy-and rushed things so the Crimson Wolf Clan spotted them.

In utter anger, Thalia pushed Elira hard-venting out her bottled emotions.

“Mirel interrogated them and they confessed they didn’t attack you because Lucivar was tailing you!

They were worried that Lucivar was your guardian.

While you were having fun in your little romance with that man, you were stalked by them!” Thalia continued in frustration.

She was the one who normally screw things up but she has never screwed up this badly.

“Do you understand it now?

Had it not been for them, you would’ve died!

Died!” Thalia cried harder.

Her mind was in a mess.

Feeling a strong headache from being too angry, Thalia sat down on the edge of the bed, covering her face with both hands.

Seeing Elira come back, she thought-she would feel better but she felt even worse instead.

Just looking at Elira’s face reminded Thalia that she chose Axel over her.

She certainly couldn’t forget about it for a while.

“Didn’t you promise we’d stay together no matter what?” Thalia’s voice trembled, barely more than a whisper as tears streamed down her face.

Her sobs wracked her body, her throat raw with betrayal.

“Did you not say we’d always have each other’s back?” Hearing this, Elira pulled her hair back in frustration.

She knew that she messed up big time.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that,” Elira finally apologized as she sat beside Thalia.

“I’ll make up for it for as long as I need to but at least, right now, can you help me talk to Mom-and Dad to release Lucivar?

He saved our lives so we need to repay him” Thalia wiped her tears and nodded her head, “Okay… we’ll talk once this is all over” On the other side of the Bloodhaven Academy.

“Lucivar got caught for killing a student?” Professor Aeldric’s hand stopped as he frowned at the news.

He glanced over her shoulder to look at a young man, an assistant.

“Yes,” the man nodded.

“I knew this because the Hybrid Association has asked for his information” Upon hearing this, Professor Aeldirc gazed out of the window again.

His face was riddled with the cues of trouble and worry.

‘How did that happen?’ He thought inside, not expecting Lucivar to make such a mistake- considering he was extremely meticulous and cruel in nature.

‘But I shouldn’t worry about him.

After all, someone was looking after him.

I don’t know who-but the person behind is mysterious and strong.

He will be fine…’ Inside the Bastion of Blades.

“I need your help, Lucivar got into trouble,” Leandra said with a troubled tone.

“Hmm…” Ravenna raised an eyebrow.

“He went out with you and he got into trouble already?” “What’s that supposed to mean?” Leandra frowned.

She had already talked with Nerissa and Bakar and now she was informing Ravenna.

But she didn’t expect Ravenna to react this way.

“Never mind,” Ravenna shook her head and turned around.

“I’ll contact him” As usual for the family, when things have gone bad-for them, there was one person they could always rely on.

No matter the situation or how bad it becomes, he will always find a surprising way to save them.

Master Tobias.
