Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Clueless Avatar Chapter 213: Clueless Avatar “Sethis, that’s your new name!” Lucivar proudly announced with a big smile on his face.

He gave a name as if Zibbo was a new pet of his.

It came to him, the name, so he decided to bestow it on Zibbo.

But unfortunately, his excitement for having his second Vestal was short-lived.

“Graarghk!!” Lucivar crumbled to his keens in pain, digging his nails into the floor as if his life depended on it.

Out of nowhere, his insides were steaming blazingly as if a bucket of boiling water was being poured into him and forced to flow through his bloodstream.

It was excruciating, Lucivar’s entire body convulsed as he lost his strength and lay flat on the ground.

Blood burst from his mouth and nose as the pain heightened.

His eyes rolled back, his body drenched in sweat, and it didn’t take long before he lost consciousness.

Moments later.

Lucivar’s eyelids shot wide open and he sat up.

Immediately, he scanned his surroundings and found that he was still inside the underground club.

Nothing changed, even the dried-up corpses were still scattered on the floor.

 “Are you stupid or are you stupid?” Sha who has been sitting beside him all this time asked, an evident disappointment crossing her face.

“Did your genius brain think it’s okay to name that piece of garbage ‘Sethis’?

SET-his?” “Ah…” Lucivar smiled acutely at the realization.

“I didn’t think that far” “Of course, you didn’t.

If you had, you wouldn’t give out that name” Sha shook her head in disbelief.

Just the sheer mentioning of Set’s name was already unacceptable for Lucivar, he was forced to use the name ‘Sutekh’ to refer to Set.

So naturally, giving the name ‘Sethis’ to Zibbo was not allowed, Sutekh is that proud of himself.

“On second thought,” Lucivar turned to Zibbo on the side.

“Your name is still Zibbo!” Once his mind cleared up, Lucivar noticed that Zibbo was doing something.

He was on his phone, tapping on the screen repeatedly with his thumbs.

“What are you doing?” “I’m calling my men back, there should be around two dozen more nearby” Lucivar stood up and cracked his neck-he could still feel the phantom burning pain from what Sutekh did to him earlier, it was still palpable and unnerving.

Glancing over to the door, he then asked, “Did I ask you to call them?

Or are you still going to try taking me down?” “No,” Zibbo raised his gaze from the phone.

“But don’t you become stronger through killing?” Hearing this, Lucivar was stunned for a second.

But a grin quickly climbed to his face when his mind clicked as to what Zibbo was attempting to do by calling his remaining men back, “Aren’t you supposed to be their leader?

I didn’t expect you to sell all of them out like that” “Having attachment is an inevitable heartbreak in my line of work,” Zibbo shrugged, he forced himself to not be attached to anyone, especially his men since that would only make his life harder.

“I still want to keep my sanity” Lucivar nodded his head and stretched.

He could feel Oval and Heart already finished up the people outside and were now feasting on them.

All deaths incurred by those two were also treated as his kill.

Knowing that, Lucivar extended his arm forward, and soon, multiple golden-and bronze spheres flew through the wall and went into his hand before he stored them all inside his Inner Chamber.

It was the right choice to spare Zibbo that night.

‘Now, I got a hundred more golden spheres and there’s more to come’ Lucivar nodded.

Seemed like the opportunity clue from Loki was extremely useful.

If he hadn’t purchased that, he would not have met with Thalia and ultimately, he wouldn’t have chased after Elira and crossed with Zibbo.

A domino effect that helped him become stronger, ‘Talking about this, I also still have an opportunity clue on Dullan.

He only became my sponsor.

Compared to Thalia’s opportunity, it was a bit lackluster so there must be more to him’ ‘Right, Angel did say that he needed the governor’s pardon’ Lucivar smiled an opportunistic smile.

Once he exhausted Thalia’s opportunity, he would move on to Dullaln.

“Heads up, someone is here,” Sha suddenly warned before she disappeared into thin air.

Lucivar snapped from his daze and looked around.

It was then that his heart skipped a beat.

He sensed something or someone behind him and the aura was unmistakable.

Almost instantly, Lucivar dashed at Zibbo and gripped him by the neck.

Zibbo was completely confused and terrified at the same time, he struggled to break Lucivar’s grip to no avail.

Since he is now a Vestal, he didn’t understand why Lucivar was doing this-that is until he saw a figure materializing out of light on the mezzanine level.

Seeing this, Zibbo turned to look at Lucivar again and saw him signaling something through his eyes.

Once Lucivar noticed Zibbo understood, he twisted his hand slightly and let go of Zibbo.

Zibbo fell to the ground limply, seemingly dead.

“Goodness,” A voice came from behind.

“Look at this place.

I never knew you were fond of blood and gore” “What’s there to be surprised about?” Lucivar turned around and looked up, staring the figure directly into his eyes without fear.

“Like Gandr said, this time would be different.

I will bring victory to Loki for the first time and to do that, I have to do new things…” Naturally, this figure was none other than Caldaros.

Somehow, he was able to locate Lucivar.

Even though Lucivar was being careful and was always alert, he didn’t sense Caldaros coming.

He doesn’t even know how Caldaros was able to find him here.

“I was worried that you’d not be able to participate since you know, you being in prison-but I guess I underestimated you too much,” Caldaros chuckled lightly and leaped down, landing firmly against the cold floor.

“Here you are, becoming as strong as ever” Lucivar sneered and answered sarcastically, “Thank you for your concern, I’m grateful” “Now,” He turned around, facing the door at the end of the room.

“If you’re done boasting, I’m leaving” “Boasting?” Caldaros raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar glanced over his shoulder and cast Caldaros a condescending look, “What else could you be here other than for boasting?

You came here just to let me know that you can find me as easily as this.

Did you mark me?” “What makes you think that’s why I’m here?” Caldaros questioned as he crossed his arms.

Despite his mischievous smile, Lucivar wasn’t worried.

He was dealing with Sunna’s avatar.

Even if Caldaros has a tack for manipulation, it wouldn’t work on Lucivar.

“Are you going to report this incident to the Hybrid Association?” Lucivar shot back another question, and since there was no answer coming out of Caldaros’ mouth, it was clear that Caldaros wouldn’t.

“In that case, I’m leaving” “This is payback for that night, you’re the one who marked me first,” Caldaros uttered.

Lucivar waved his hand, not interested in having a conversation.

He wasn’t fond of competing in a war of pride.

Just as Lucivar was about to head out of the door, his eyes darted to the corpses scattered in the room.

A frown crossed his face as he was troubled that Caldaros was here.

Sucking in a deep breath, Lucivar turned around and saw Caldaros scanning the room.

But seeing Lucivar turning around to face him again, he pivoted his body forward again.

“Since you’re here, let’s spar,” Lucivar suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Caldaros paused for a second before he burst into laughter, “Do you really think I’d do that with you?

Don’t mock me too much, I know you wanted to see my full abilities-but that’s not going to happen” “Scared?” Lucivar smiled tauntingly.

“An avatar of the great Sunna is scared of someone like me?” As soon as Caldaros heard that, his face twitched.

Had it been said by someone else-this level of mockery wouldn’t have troubled Caldaros.

But since it came from Lucivar, the avatar of Loki who has never won against the avatar of Sunna, it was humiliating.

None of Loki’s previous avatars dared to mock Sunna’s previous avatars and yet, at his turn, Lucivar dared to say these things.

It was getting on his nerves but he knew that it was precisely what Lucivar was aiming for.

“No, there will be no spar today,” Caldaros said with finality but then, his eyes glowed golden.

Crack!!

Suddenly, a flash of Caldaros’ full power was displayed.

It lasted only a second.

But the effect was destructive-the ground underneath Caldaros cracked from that flash-and fissures spread to the sides, stretching onto the walls.

On top of that, Lucivar’s eyes widened as blood exploded from his mouth once again.

He fell to his knees, choking on his own blood.

Seeing Lucivar being reduced to this state easily, Caldaros grinned mockingly.

“You have gotten stronger but still so weak at the same time” He uttered, shaking his head in disbelief before his eyes glowed golden brighter and the smile on his face was wiped away-replaced by a deadly, serious look.

“I’m also getting stronger” Upon saying that, Caldaros vanished into particles of light once again.

Like the wind, he came and went as he pleased.

For the second time in under ten minutes, Lucivar passed out again.

Once he regained consciousness for the second time, he wiped the blood on his lips and sighed.

“You lunatic, I can’t believe you used my Lord like that!!” Sha immediately complained.

Lucivar chuckled a bit while waving his hand, it seemed he was caught instantly.

He passed out for the second time not because of Caldaros but because he repeatedly chanted Sutekh’s real name in his mind.

Just that alone made his blood boil again, it was the same exact sensation all over again that ended in him passing out.

“I was tortured-and never passed out but this…” Lucivar shook his head, the pain from Sutekh crept deep into his soul so it was unbearable.

“Regardless, thanks for your help, Lord Sutekh.

I never knew you’d help me out like this” “Help you out my ass!” Sha exclaimed exasperatedly.

Sha looked up and bowed repeatedly, “Forgive this stupid oracle, my Lord.

He doesn’t have a brain” Of course, all of that was acting.

Lucivar signaled Zibbo to play dead and decided to taunt Caldaros so that he wouldn’t focus on the dried-up blood as that might connect him to Sutekh and Caldaros didn’t know he had more than Loki inside of him.

He didn’t know the complications of Sunna knowing about his condition and frankly, he didn’t want to know so he did this.

And that performance of coughing blood, Lucivar wanted to make Caldaros feel secure and strong.

“It’s mandatory to keep the other side clueless,” He mumbled as he looked at his own hand.

“But that display of power from him-it does not feel as heavy as before.

Careful Caldaros… you’re not going to see what’s coming”
