Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 219

Chapter 219: The Ultimate Plan (2) Chapter 219: The Ultimate Plan (2) Hearing this, the old man couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

In his fixed and old mind, he believed that this can’t be happening right now.

Being blind from birth, the old man has never been able to see-but being a Werewolf Hybrid allowed him to feel the world through his other senses.

Currently, he could hear a faint hum, low and pulsing, like two opposing forces grinding against each other.

At where Lucivar stood, the old man sensed the space around him trembled with an unnatural weight.

It was as if the world itself recoiled from whatever he held.

Some form of energy-two advanced versions of the regular ether hovered on Lucivar’s hand.

A deep, hissing sound slithered through the air, one moment smooth and fluid, the next violent and also erratic-as if two unseen entities coiled and struck at each other, locked in an endless struggle.

Both heat and chill pulsed in waves, clashing in a way that sent a prickling sensation down the spine.

Just from the changes whatever Lucivar summoned brought, clearly, it was something spectacular.

And without a doubt, it was two attributes merged together.

“You… You’ve unlocked your attributes?” the old man whispered in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Lucivar grinned as he played with the paradox of creation-and destruction on his hand, the newborn power from merging light and dark.

Even though these attributes lashed and coiled, seeking to dominate the other-Lucivar’s control made sure neither could fully consume the other.

Rather, somehow, impossibly, they merged-held together by Lucivar’s will alone.

For the last couple of days, before this fateful night came-Lucivar had been training like a madman.

He absorbed all of the spheres he amassed, mainly the golden spheres, and broke through to the five-star Acolyte rank.

Other than the initial batch of Zibbo’s men, he was able to kill the rest the following day once Caldaros returned to the academy.

Because of that, his growth has been exponential.

Reaching the five-star Acolyte rank not only increased his overall strength but also allowed him to tap into the tip of his attributes.

Light and dark-two highly contrasting attributes.

Attempting to control one was a hassle as the other will always be stimulated.

Since he hadn’t reached the Chrysalis rank, he couldn’t properly control one attribute at a time.

He could only control two at once.

One might think that controlling two at once was a good thing but it wasn’t.

Due to the contrasting effect, he literally couldn’t use the two attributes for anything but earlier this day, he thought of an idea.

Lucivar was sure that it wasn’t his ether control that was lacking to use these two attributes but it was because of the limitation from tapping into them-before he reached the appropriate rank.

In that case, he decided to try and merge the two attributes together.

Aided by the ether control from Loki’s power, he succeeded, and the result was another form of power.

Swoosh!

Just then, the old man felt a cold air brushing against his skin as he expanded his senses.

Now, he realized that Lucivar’s body was pulsating with an invisible wave of power.

A wave of power-created by merging the Light and Dark attributes.

“Can you see it…?” Lucivar’s eyes gleamed brighter as he took pleasure in the old man’s expression as he tried to grasp the situation.

“As long as you’re within range of these pulses, your regeneration will not work.

Instead, your wound will only worsen the harder your regeneration tries.

In other words, I am your worst match-up.

In other words…” He extended his blood-coated hand forward menacingly, “I have a good chance of killing you,” Elira and Thalia watched in awe from behind.

Both of them couldn’t believe what they were seeing-an Acolyte-rank Hybrid who could actually hurt and pose a threat to a Chrysalis-rank Hybrid.

Such a thing was almost unheard of, only extremely few people in the world has that kind of achievement.

Only the direct lineages of the Supreme Houses could have that kind of talent.

Somehow, Lucivar’s talent was standing up there with them.

Despite their amazement at Lucivar’s strength, the situation was still confusing for them.

It was extremely so for Thalia.

Lucivar called them here and forced them to accept being used-as his insurance against Callista, and now, he also called the Crimson Wolf Clan which means he set them up.

Letting them be taken by would guarantee him a good position with the clan but instead of doing that-he decided to attack the old man instead.

From the very start, she knew that Lucivar was a complicated man.

But this situation was really overwhelming.

At this moment, Thalia didn’t know what to think about him.

“Don’t be cocky, you’re still an Acolyte-rank Hybrid!” the old man roared angrily.

Gesturing to his men, he pointed forward-telling them to attack.

Almost instantly, two Werewolf Hybrids-one has furs as his unique characteristic while the other has fangs and claws-rushed towards Lucivar on all four.

Behind them were the rest of them, aiming to kill Lucivar without mercy.

Roar!

Once near range, the two leaped and readied their claws to rend Lucivar’s flesh.

However, at the exact moment when their hands were about to reach him-they were halted mid-air.

“Graarghk!” “Huargh!” Both of their eyes widened when blood suddenly exploded from their mouths followed by a sharp pain in their chests.

Looking down in a hurry, they realized that their chests were caved in-the remnants of being punched.

Such a sight surprised them greatly, they couldn’t even see Lucivar moved!

Crash!

Like a bullet, those two were thrown away, slamming onto a pillar that caused them to spin chaotically mid-air before crashing onto the ground.

Not even fazed by that, the other Werewolf Hybrids circled Lucivar and attacked.

However, none of them were able to reach Lucivar.

One growled, lunging with malicious intent.

In an instant, Lucivar’s arm blurred-one moment still, the next a lethal whip crack.

A sickening thud rang out as his fist slammed into the Hybrid’s throat, cutting off its snarl mid-sound.

Another Werewolf Hybrid pounced from the side, claws flashing.

But Lucivar was already gone, his body twisting impossibly fast.

He pivoted, elbow driving into its ribs before it even realized he had moved.

A third came from behind, fangs bared for his neck-only to jerk violently mid-air as Lucivar’s knee rocketed upward, meeting its jaw with pinpoint accuracy.

They kept coming, two, three at a time, their monstrous strength and speed overwhelming to any normal foe.

Unfortunately for them, Lucivar wasn’t normal.

Every attack they threw was countered before it even reached him.

Lucivar showed no wasted movement and no hesitation.

Other than increasing his rank, he also upgraded his muscles and tendons in the Stone Tablet.

His physique assessment sky-rocketed to the Low Sphinx tier.

Upgrading his muscles allowed him to exert double the strength than before but the fun part lies on his upgraded tendons.

Because of his upgraded tendons, his speed and power became explosive, allowing him to strike in a blur of the eyes.

Not to mention, muscle contractions also became faster-near instantaneous.

Lucivar’s reflexes weren’t increased that much but due to that, it seemed like his reflex was insane.

Defeating other Acolyte-rank Hybrids became a lot easier now.

He didn’t even need to sweat against these people.

As he blocked and countered two Werewolf Hybrids, one managed to slip past his defenses.

Like a feral animal, he loaded his claws and struck Lucivar with all his might.

Even then, Lucivar was fast enough to cross his arms and block the attack-and to the Hybrid’s utter surprise, hitting Lucivar was like hitting a rock.

Lucivar didn’t even stumble or move from his spot.

He ate that swipe like it was nothing.

Although he used every ounce of his ether and strength, the scratch only left shallow scratches.

Lucivar peeked from behind his guard and in an instant, grabbed the Hybrid by the face.

He lifted the Hybrid off the ground with a crushing grip and absorbed his ether ruthlessly.

“You used an ability just now, didn’t you?” Lucivar tilted his head menacingly.

“I want that ability” Just as Lucivar was absorbing the Hybrid’s ether, his eyes caught sight of a shadow.

In the next second, he was flung backward-tackled by the old man that has already fully transformed.

“Did you forget about me, kid?!” the old man barked as he grabbed Lucivar by the head with his massive hand, slammed him into the ground, and dragged him violently across the floor.

“I may not have eyes but I can see how this ends as I’ve seen people like you a hundred times-rraargh!” Crash!

Lucivar got thrown and slammed onto the wall hard.

He gritted his teeth, trying his hardest not to cough blood and showing weakness.

Falling to his feet-he gazed ahead with the same arrogant grin, “Are you sure about that, old man?” “Hmm…?” the old man reached for his stomach and realized that he was bleeding.

Realizing this only made him angrier, his aura climbed higher as white vapor began to sizzle from his body.

Lucivar’s eyes narrowed in focus, sensing the old man was now activating his attribute, moonlight attribute.

It was getting serious now.

Growl!

Baring his muscular chest and fangs, the old man leaped forward.

But as he did that, he vanished from thin air.

Lucivar’s eyes widened, he already knew that the old man had teleportation ability since he was the one who teleported him away back then.

However, even though he knew about this ability, handling it was another matter entirely.

Swish!

In an instant, a flash of moonlight appeared from the side as the old man emerged.

Surrendering himself to his reflexes, Lucivar tried to block but he wasn’t fast enough.

Four bloody lines crossed his torso as the old man disappeared once again.

Unlike before when Lucivar dominated, he was the one being dominated now-as the old man was a relentless freak.

He kept disappearing and reappearing in Lucivar’s blind spot, tearing flesh after flesh without actually dealing the final blow.

Having enough, the old man was now toying with Lucivar.

“Still confident now?” Slash!

“Do you think the gap between Chrysalis-rank and Acolyte-rank is that easily covered?” Slash!

“Fool!

Arrogant!

Do you think I’m a new Chrysalis rank?

I’m a five-star!

Five-star!!” Bam!

Lucivar flew across the underground parking lot, passing Elira and Thalia.

But the moment he flew past the two, he made sure to grab Thalia as he crashed to the other side.

Once Thalia recovered, she blinked her eyes and realized that she was behind Lucivar-who was now coughing blood and covered in wounds.

A distance away from them, the old man reappeared, sizzling with moonlight.

“Regret your decision as you die…” the old man whispered and approached slowly.

However, hearing this threat made Lucivar explode with laughter, “BUAHAHA~!” He was laughing so hard that tears welled up in his eyes.

“Is death that funny to you, kid?” the old man raised an eyebrow.

“It won’t be funny once you feel it” “Hey, stupid old man,” Lucivar stopped laughing abruptly, changing between emotions-as quickly as curling his lips.

“Are you senile?

Do you think I don’t know the gap between us?

Do you think I’d be as confident as I am if I don’t know I’ll win?” “See properly for once, I’m not here alone,” Lucivar added.

Upon hearing this, the old man’s heart skipped a beat as the sound of footsteps came from behind.

Almost instantly, he turned around and gasped at the sight of a figure, “You?!”
