Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Last Act Chapter 224: Last Act As planned, Ragnar was captured.

It didn’t exactly happen the way Lucivar envisioned but he got it done.

Looking up, he saw Ragnar being restrained by a vicious vortex of wind that was shaped like a cocoon.

Julian created it so there was absolutely no chance for him to break that restraint.

Glancing to the side, to the other end of the street, Julian realized that there were onlookers-that might make the situation more problematic.

Pointing his hand at Lucivar, a gathering of wind appeared under Lucivar and lifted him off the ground.

Once all three of them were off the ground, they zoomed into the sky-heading back to the basement.

Along the way, Lucivar closed his eyes and relished the sensation of rushing cold wind.

‘How nice does it feel to fly at will?’ He thought inside.

Oblivious to Julian, this was Lucivar’s first time soaring through the sky.

Julian was living his dream and now, he tasted the tip of what flying feels like.

Glancing over his shoulder, Lucivar could see the entire city below-the night emphasized the beauty and sparkle of the entire city.

Many of the streets were empty-and there were barely any people around but this created a serene sight, one that matched the mood.

Despite his condition, internally battered from the battle with the old man and Ragnarr, Lucivar forgot all about the pain.

He stretched his hand to the side, feeling the rush more clearly, and smiled, ‘This is a reward on its own, I’m pleased with only this.

Experiencing this made all that happened tonight worth it’ As he thought of that, Lucivar’s eyebrows were raised as he remembered something.

‘Oh, right, I wonder if I could fly on my own now,’ He pondered inside.

Even though his second wing wasn’t complete yet, a few inches shorter than his other wing, it should still be possible for him to attempt to fly on his own, ‘Maybe tomorrow I will try it out.

But then again, the night is not over yet, I need to focus’ Soon enough, the three arrived back at the parking building.

Julian brought them down and landed smoothly.

Once he was on the ground, Lucivar sat down again as he really couldn’t stand right now.

Now, without the adrenaline, the pain was crippling his body.

“Can you use him to clear your problem?” Lucivar asked, stealing a glance at Ragnar.

Upon hearing this, Julian also turned to look at Ragnar and nodded, “Ragnar is Drake’s only child.

If I play it right, I could force him and the Crimson Wolf Clan to deal with the press and clear my name.

So yes, my situation will be resolved” “Good,” Lucivar nodded and lay down on the rough ground.

“That’s good…” Julian took a good look at him with a complex gaze.

He doesn’t know what to feel right now.

But more importantly, he was surprised that there was such a young man like Lucivar in Sunhold City.

It was clear that with his wits and talent, he’d be a powerhouse in the future.

“You delivered,” Julian continued, turning his body to face Lucivar.

His expression was unreadable, but there wasn’t any malice.

“You told me about what these people are planning, saved my daughters, and also helped me capture Ragnar.

Since you delivered, I’d also keep my word.

So tell me…” “What do you want?” He added, expecting the request to be something incredulous.

Despite being far away, he knew about Lucivar.

Callista ranted about him all the time so Julian knew about Lucivar’s participation in the South Hues Tournament, the trap Lucivar set on his family, how he saved Elira and Thalia before this, and also the ploy Callista did on him.

Of course, what worried him the most was what Callista did.

Lucivar has all those cards to use in this negotiation.

In other words, he could ask for something ridiculous and Julian couldn’t refuse it.

“Of course, if I had to be honest, I’d like to ask you to kneel in front of me and let me kill you but that’s not happening,” Lucivar chuckled weakly while facing the night sky, he was wondering how big of a golden sphere he’d gain from killing someone as strong as Juliann.

Perhaps, he could break through to the Paragon rank instantly.

Hearing this, Julian remained silent.

Considering what Callista did, he wasn’t surprised if Lucivar bore hatred.

It was natural and he wasn’t mad.

“For the second request-I wanted the most right now is for you to not interfere with what was about to happen and drop everything you and your family have against me after tonight,” Lucivar finally said, he needed to focus on Caldaros after this was done.

“Maybe, if you could also be on my back in the future, that’s going to be great” “What are you planning to do…?” Julian’s eyes narrowed.

He thought the night already ended but it didn’t seem to be the case in Lucivar’s eyes.

Instead of answering, Lucivar asked, “What time is it?” “Almost eleven, we wrapped Ragnar quickly,” Julian answered without checking the time.

Lucivar nodded lightly a couple of times, there was still time for him to lie down a bit before the next event-that he prepared happened.

About ten minutes, a good amount of time for him to rest and recover a bit more.

As he was about to close his eyes for a little bit, Julian cleared his throat.

“What do you think about my daughters?” He suddenly asked.

Not even a pause, Lucivar answered instantly, “Naïve and stupid but pretty, I guess” “Which one of them do you fancy more?” Julian asked bluntly before he paused for a good second, and corrected, “As a friend, of course” “Neither, both of them are the same,” Lucivar replied nonchalantly.

In his eyes, Elira and Thalia are both annoying-mainly because they are extremely naïve.

However, he wouldn’t lie that their naivety was quite pleasant to be around, a breath of fresh air that could help him forget about the complex stuff.

Of course, other than that-bullying them became a lot easier because of that.

Just as Julian wanted to say something more, Elira and Thalia emerged from the basement.

Both of them were looking after the crippled old man.

Seems like the twin sensed their auras and decided to come out to check.

Realizing that Lucivar was lying on the ground weakly, both of them dropped the old man roughly and instantly rushed over to check on him.

Julian could clearly see genuine concern plastered on their faces, a genuine concern for Lucivar.

“Are you hurt?

Where does it hurt?” Thalia, as soft as ever, sends a barrage of concerned questions.

Elira, on the other hand, bit her lower lip, “Once again, you saved us… How can we ever repay you?” Lucivar didn’t answer.

His eyes remained closed as he channeled his remaining God strands to heal his internal organs.

Inside, however, he was laughing.

Did he actually save their lives multiple times?

Yes, he did.

It was quite evident that he did.

But the problem was that he knew of the danger way before it happened.

He knew Elira was going to be screwed over by Axel and he knew that the Crimson Wolf Clan was in motion to kidnap Elira.

Instead of telling them-and helping them create countermeasures, he let it all happen instead and came at the right moment to save them.

From the twin’s point of view, he was their white knight who kept on protecting them despite everything.

He created the problem, let it happen, and came in to rescue them.

Bonding under stress is the best way to bond.

Why he do that?

Of course, that is to have their hearts within his grasp.

Having spent so much effort on the twins, he wasn’t willing to let them go.

Added to the fact that their father was an actual powerhouse, he really can’t let them go.

From the moment he chose the Feradith Family instead of the Crimson Wolf Clan, Luvivar was already planning to have a long-lasting relationship.

Julian knew all about his hostile deeds but he didn’t see it with his own two eyes.

He was probably only informed by Callista.

So showing Lucivar’s good side to him would work wonders in winning him over.

Considering that he was now no longer hostile and even asked Lucivar about his thoughts on both Elira and Thalia, the approach had worked as intended.

Lucivar had Julian right where he wanted him-now, it was time to secure the twin as his own.

‘As expected, the Morality Constellation is still not unlocked fully’ Lucivar pondered.

Other than not wanting to waste his investment, dealing with the twins also had another benefit.

It was the Heart of Mischief Nakshatras.

Lucivar was aiming to complete the third constellation, the Morality Constellation, and that requires him to properly degrade Elira-and Thalia’s minds.

Making them trust him was not enough, he needed to win them over completely.

And to do that, he needed one last piece.

“D- Dear…?” Suddenly, a voice rang which caused Julian, Elira, and Thalia to snap their heads to the side.

Standing by the main entrance with a look of surprise was Callista.

She was a mess, her face and appearance were both disheveled.

Upon hearing her voice, Lucivar couldn’t hide his smirk anymore.

Callista scanned ahead and saw that the entire family was gathered here along-with another man that she instantly recognized as Ragnar.

But her eyes stopped and locked onto Lucivar in the end who was still lying on the ground.

In that very second, her breath hitched.

She couldn’t believe who she was looking at right now.

Lucivar should still be imprisoned, he shouldn’t be able to get out without her permission.

But her eyes didn’t lie, couldn’t lie-he was actually in front of her right now.

Callista’s expression shifted from shock to confusion to dread, she was completely taken aback.

After the third and last press conference to clear the family’s name, she got a message.

It was handwritten and it specified the time and location she needed to come to.

Had it been any other message, she would have discarded it without a second thought but this one was different.

At the very bottom, the sender’s name was written ‘The Devil’ so naturally, she couldn’t afford to ignore this.

Callista wanted to believe it was a prank but doubt gnawed at her.

It should be impossible for Lucivar to get out of prison.

No matter how much she tried to dismiss it, her conversation with Lucivar kept playing on repeat in her mind.

Knowing how terrifying and witted Lucivar was, she found herself at this place at the exact time specified in the message, 23:00.

Realizing that Luicvar really did get out, a sense of foreboding clenched around her heart.

Her heart pounded faster when Lucivar opened his eyes and smiled at her.
