Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Two Rats Chapter 208: Two Rats Lucivar opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

It was four in the morning.

He glanced to the other side of the bed and found Angel sleeping soundly, their intimate session was so taxing on her that she passed out after the third round.

Expecting to go at it all night, Lucivar was a bit disappointed that it ended quickly.

But then again, not everyone was like Ravenna.

However, it wasn’t entirely a waste.

‘I’m the one who was supposed to come but Dullan sent someone to take the recording stone from me’ ‘Once I gave it away, I don’t know where it went.

I swear!’ Earlier while Angel was pressed under him-she confessed that she was supposed to come and visit him in prison to hand the recording stone to him personally.

But at the last second, Dullan’s right-hand man came and asked to hand the recording stone over.

Angel has no clue about who Tobias is.

But if anything, Dullan must be the one who handed the recording stone to Tobias.

‘He came from an extraordinary background, that’s for sure,’ Lucivar pondered and sat up on the bed.

Rubbing his face as he needed to wake up and continue with his plan right now, Lucivar stood up and headed for the wardrobe.

He opened it slightly and saw Sabrina was still inside, tucked in the corner as if she was a miserable beggar.

Kneeling down, Lucivar reached his hand towards her and smiled inside.

“Her ether reserve was increased,” Gandr appeared out of nowhere, nodding in acknowledgment.

“Keep increasing her ether reserve and drag out your intimacy with her as long as possible.

Use her only when you’re in trouble.

Ardat Lilitu’s Bloodline is quite effective to use that way” “She’s my maid, I’ll make sure she becomes stronger” Lucivar nodded firmly.

Sabrina didn’t hesitate to share his problem so at the very least he could do was accept her as his maid.

And as her master, he’ll make sure she can keep up.

Lucivar held her shoulder and shook her body lightly, waking her up without making a fuss.

Moaning tiredly, she opened her eyes and saw Lucivar was looking at her.

Seeing this, she immediately woke up.

“Go and wait for me in the living room, I’ll be out in a minute” Lucivar instructed.

Upon hearing this, she nodded her head and sneaked out of the bedroom.

Considering that Angel was completely exhausted, even if Sabrina made a little fuss, she wouldn’t wake up.

Once she was out, Lucivar went into the bathroom, turned on the sink, and splashed his face-with cold water.

Freshen up a little, Lucivar then gazed ahead to his own reflection.

His mind focused sharply as he arranged the order of what he needed to do in his mind.

First of all, he managed to get out of prison and got more than what he hoped for.

Even though he was told to hand over the recording stone on his way out, losing a card against the very Hybrid Association, which could be proven useful-he still made contact with the director, expanding his connections.

Of course, he has a backup for that recording stone but he wasn’t planning to use it.

He has it just in case the director went back on his words.

As long as the director kept his words then there’ll be no need for him to use that recording stone again.

Being a friend with the director is far more useful than being an enemy.

Additionally, he now also gained an upper hand against the Feradith Family Nobody knew that Lucivar has been freed other than the Hybrid Association and Angel.

One of his demands to the director was to keep his exit a secret.

Now he was going to pay back for what Callista did.

It was extremely possible as he now has Elira’s trust, there are ways to make Callista submit.

However, his next step for now was to get stronger to make sure that his triumph would be inevitable, and he already had a plan for that right now.

Lucivar’s eyes hummed with a golden edge, “I can sense your presence in the last couple of days, brother.

You really should be more careful,” Suddenly, Lucivar’s eyes noticed a dark trail seeping into the bathroom from the mirror.

A string of darkness squeezed through the cracks of the bathroom door and swam towards him.

Not long after, another seeped through and connected to him.

Someone wanted to kill him.

And whoever these people were, they were nearby.

Realizing this, Lucivar wiped his face and went to the living room-not forgetting to wear a bathrobe.

Upon reaching there-he saw Sabrina was already standing up and scanning the room with an evident frown on her face.

Lucivar was pleasantly surprised by this.

Other than his Angel constitution helping him, he couldn’t sense any oddness in the surroundings.

But Sabrina did or else she wouldn’t scan the room like this.

“Master…” She turned around to face him.

Lucivar gave her a meaningful gaze, stopping her from saying whatever she wanted to say.

“Sit down on the sofa, I want to show my gratitude for you volunteering to be punished with me,” He said, putting on an act as he walked over to the bar.

His eyes, however, were scanning the room for any sign of anomaly.

“I’m truly grateful,” For some reason, Lucivar felt like the apartment was too still, too quiet as if the air itself had frozen.

“It’s nothing, master.

I’m your maid,” Sabrina answered, sitting down on the sofa.

Lucivar’s walk was as slow as possible as he took in the information of the entire room.

He noticed the door was shut, there were no vents-no way in or out.

The room was minimalistic, clean, and eerily reflective.

Mirrors lined the walls, multiplying the space into endless repetitions of itself.

His own reflection stared back at him from every angle.

On top of that, beside the sofa where Sabrina was sitting was a wide glass, panoramic window displaying the urban city view.

Just from this alone, he deduced that the people who wanted him dead must be unique Hybrids.

Hybrids with the ability to sneak in without being detected.

Casting a gentle smile at Sabrina, he opened the cabinet and took out a wine bottle and two wine glasses while his other hand secretly opened the drawer and grabbed a knife, ‘What kind of bloodline possesses the ability to sneak inside an apartment room subtly like this?’ Inside, Lucivar was pondering as to what kind of Hybrids he was dealing with here.

His first guess was a Banshee or a Ghost-type.

Being able to pass through walls would make it easy for those kinds of Hybrids to sneak inside.

But Lucivar wasn’t sure.

As he held the knife in his other hand, Lucivar decided to put it back into the drawer.

No matter what these Hybrids were, he shouldn’t make them alert-instead, he should make them a lot bolder so that they would make some mistakes.

Heading back to Sabrina with two glasses and a wine, he began, “Now that we’re secretly freed, nobody will try to kill us for the time being.

We will have enough time to plan and take down the Feradith Family, their stupid Green Tempest Clan, and also the Crimson Wolf Clan.

I will take everything they have and you’ll watch it become a reality by my side” Hearing this, Sabrina giggled, “I’m sure you’re destined for great things, master.

I’ll look forward to it” Upon nearing the sofa, Lucivar stopped abruptly.

His eyes widened for a second before he turned to the side and stared into his reflection in a small mirror on a sleek black table.

Something moved in his periphery earlier and that movement came from the mirror’s direction.

Lucivar shook his head and proceeded to sit down while giving Sabrina a look that asked, ‘Did you see that?’ Sabrina stood up and poured the wine for both of them, hiding the nod she made.

Just that subtle exchange alone, the two confirmed that they had realized what they were facing.

“I was falsely accused and thrown into prison-that’s not something you just brush off,” Lucivar said, lifting his glass of wine for a slow slip.

Letting the sharp taste linger on his tastebuds, he rose to his feet and strode toward the dawn-lit cityscape.

His voice turned cold as he gazed ahead “I’ll make sure Callista and Ragnar pay for this” As he said that, Lucivar saw his own reflection tense up a little.

He tried to move his hand and surprisingly, although it was subtle, he saw his reflection lagging behind.

But this was still not enough, ‘Still not attacking?

Are they wary of me?’ Instinctively, Lucivar looked at his right hand.

‘Ah… I forgot.

Gleipnir’s Echo was still on Elira.

Both of them should notice I’m at the Acolyte rank,’ He sighed inside-Callista’s ambush made him forget that his ring wasn’t on him, so the Green Shroud ability wasn’t active, which means his aura wasn’t concealed.

Lucivar gave it to Elira so that replacing her with the Major Morphing ability wouldn’t be a problem.

It was solely for that.

Unfortunately, he has no time to take the ring back because of Callista’s ambush.

And surely, that was the reason these people weren’t attacking until now.

But Lucivar knew what to do, he needed to keep pushing.

Regardless of who these people were, they were disturbed by his words earlier so it was clear that they were either from the Green Tempest Clan or the Crimson Wolf Clan.

If not, they wouldn’t be distraught like this.

Sabrina also knew what Lucivar was about to do but her heart still pounded in worry.

Like always, it would be risky but they needed to kill the intruders without making a big fuss.

And catching them off guard was the only solution.

Boldly, Lucivar took a step forward closer to the panoramic window.

He then declared menacingly, “I’ll skin Elira and Thalia right in front of Callista, and then-” Before he could finish his sentence, his faint reflection on the panoramic window moved.

It shadows seemed deeper and the angles sharper.

It also seemed to warp the light, distorting the edges of his reflection.

Swoosh!

Out of nowhere, a sword flew out of the reflection and aimed to strike Lucivar’s heart.

A literal Hybrid stepped out of the reflection and tried to stab Lucivar.

Clang!

Just then, to the Hybrid’s absolute surprise, an eerie red scarab mark appeared on Lucivar’s forehead before he caught the sword by its blade.

Seeing this, the Hybrid’s eyes widened completely as he came to realize that he was lured outside.

Lucivar was ready for him.

And judging from the aura Lucivar now exposed fully, he was completely outmatched.

“Ho~ It’s about time you rats came out,” Lucivar mocked with a devilish grin.
