Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Sunhold City Chapter 36: Sunhold City Sunhold City is one of the capitals under the House of Valerius.

An independent city that was not inhibited from the progression of the world and civilization.

No ransoms and no sacrifices, they were free from the cruelty of the darker side.

Compared to Veegend City, and also the small town Lucivar and the others were staying in-Sunhold City was a paradise, it was lavish, massive-and most importantly, safe from threats of the wild or even the Crossers.

Unlike the House of Ashbourne, the House of Valerius focused on Vampire Hybrids.

It was known throughout the continent-that the Valerius family members-were among the most beautiful people across multiple continents.

Being a Vampire Hybrid doesn’t only make one extremely strong, but their constitution also reconstructs their faces-to make them the most beautiful version of themselves.

Because of that, the Vampire bloodline is the favorite for aspiring Hybrids.

Even as the carriages lined to enter the entrance, Lucivar saw the people here were clean.

All wore clothes that were vibrant in colors, not the plain white, brown, or black tunics-while the guards were in matching bright red uniforms.

Not stopping at that, Lucivar and the others marveled upon entering the city.

Other than Tobias, the others came from slave cities.

Not once had they ever stepped into an independent city such as this one.

Moreover-along the way, Tobias had described to them what Sunhold City would look like so they had a rough idea of what the city would look like, but even then the actual city was even more breathtaking than what they had pictured in mind.

Lucivar poked his head out of the carriage and glanced skyward.

Aside from the translucent dome shielding the city, the packed buildings caught his eye.

It wasn’t made of bricks, stones, and wood but glistening materials akin to the materials used in the chamber of the Gods.

Additionally, the height of these skyscrapers was shocking, their peaks stabbed the sky, a testament to Human advancement.

Other than that, people were packed here, on the side of the road, or even in the sky.

Yes, some of them were flying above-powerful Hybrids.

Some were mounting flying beasts while some were capable of flying on their own.

Upon seeing these Hybrids, Lucivar could not help but dream of himself flying like them.

As an aspiring Angel Hybrid, he would’ve eventually been able to sprout his own wings-and soar through the sky, ‘Someday…

I have the bloodline of a literal God coursing in my veins-I am sure I’ll reach that height.

All I need is the determination to reach it, no matter what…’ Knowing his path to power, Lucivar smirked.

Even if he needs to drag down others to attain strength, he would gladly do so.

Looking down at his hands, he clenched it a couple of times, feeling the power within him.

He had already absorbed the mixed sphere he had gained.

Earlier last night, his Supernatural Ego hummed as his power surged-a sign that Lucivar had broken through to the three-star Neophyte rank.

Killing Darwin gave him a fat sphere, he was getting stronger steadily.

But what he lacks is the information to compare himself to the Hybrids at his rank.

‘I’ll ask Tobias later after we reach his home.’ Lucivar nodded.

Just then, Mirel tapped him a couple of times, “Hey, hey!

Look!

What the fuck is that?” Upon hearing this, Lucivar take a look before he sucked in a cold breath.

Other than the massive buildings, there was another wonder in the far distance, a floating island that had a crimson waterfall-that showered whatever was underneath it.

From the looks of it, that floating island must belong to the House of Valerius.

It was the ruler of the city’s place, the likeness of the castle back in Veegend City.

From the front, Tobias smirked knowing that the kids definitely had their breaths taken away.

No infrastructure in the slave cities could match the ones here.

Looking at his pocket watch to check the time-Tobias, looked back ahead, and gestured for the driver to move faster, “If we’re quick enough, they should be able to be tested before the day is out.

Even though I have high hopes for the kids, Lucivar…

he is different, I need to hold onto him tighter” Moments later when the sun was directly above their heads.

Lucivar arrived at their destination.

Surprisingly enough, Tobias’ home was located at Sector 4 on Darkblood Street.

Sunhold City was divided into Sectors 1 to 5, and the higher the number, the closer it was to the House of Valerius’ embassy-the home of the person governing this city.

Sector 4 was a little bit close to the embassy, reserved only for those who have power.

An elite neighborhood.

Because of that, it was surprising to know that Tobias’ home was located in this sector.

Even though it was far away from the main road, it was still in Sector 4.

Finding that the carriages had stopped, Lucivar stepped down from the carriage and looked around, finding that there was nothing, but a road and trees in the surroundings.

But-when he turned to look at his back, he was caught off guard by what he saw.

Just like him, the others also gasped in surprise.

Mirel was the most surprised, he pointed ahead and turned to Tobias, “Is this your house…?” “No, I borrowed it,” Tobias smiled as he took down their belongings.

Poised before their very eyes was a mansion with a massive front yard decorated with trees, tall fences of marble and stones enhanced with ether, intricate lamps-and two fountains on either side of the small road leading to the mansion.

Lucivar could feel from the start that Tobias had an air of noble.

His air was different, it was refined and elegant, a stark contrast to those in slave cities.

But Lucivar wasn’t expecting Tobias to have this kind of place he called home.

‘It was way bigger than the governor’s house or even the castle back home…’ He pondered.

Such a mansion could only be owned by an aristocrat.

“Wow…

Is this really your house, master?” “So soft, the carpet is so soft…

Oh, this place even has marble pillars inside!” “Even the walls looked robust, I want to try punching it through” “How come you kept this to yourself, master?

I think we have the right to know” Even though they already prepared themselves to step inside the mansion with the exterior in mind, the others were still unable to hide their surprise-as the interior didn’t lose out.

As someone who hasn’t tasted luxury in their entire lives, everything surprised them.

Seeing the excitement in their eyes, Tobias could only smile and shake his head.

“Go and have a look around,” He finally said, waving his hand.

Upon hearing that, Mirel instantly dashed in a direction without hesitation, laughing aloud.

“Mirel, calm down!

No need to run around!” Tobias exclaimed.

However, his warning did nothing as Mirel already disappeared into the other rooms.

Just like Mirel, the others also decided to look around, now that they gained permission from Tobias.

Some explored the first floor while the rest explored the second floor, wanting to see if the mansion had anything more surprises to offer.

Everyone left Tobias in the foyer, everyone except for Lucivar.

Realizing that Lucivar was still here, Tobias asked, “Do you need something, Lucivar?” “I want to test out my strength before the academy, where can I do that?” He asked.

Tobias was stunned for a second, he didn’t expect Lucivar-to want to go back to train when they had only arrived at the mansion.

But even then-this made him smile, “I’ll have someone take you to the training chamber and your room.

Also-we are leaving in a couple of hours so don’t take too long and clean yourself” Knowing that they arrived on time, Lucivar had expected this.

Just as the two were talking, several figures came from the other room.

Each of them was dressed in a red and white maid outfit, and there were fifteen of them.

Striding into the foyer with light steps, and an upright back, these maids create a line-to the side before bowing at Tobias respectfully, “Welcome back, Master Tobias!” All of them said in a union.

Upon hearing this, Tobias nodded before he averted his attention to Lucivar.

“Pick one out of them to be your personal maid,” He instructed.

Lucivar swept his gaze across the maids, who were all beautiful women, capable of luring the primal desires of men.

Soft skin that was slightly gleaming-delicate features framed by their hair, and eyes that sparkled with a quiet allure.

However, despite their feminine allure, he shook his head, “Don’t need one,” “Just tell me where my room and the training chamber is,” He added.

Pausing for a second, Tobias then told him the way before he nodded and went on his own.

Coursing along the wide hallway, Lucivar’s mind was filled-with thoughts, ‘If Tobias has this kind of home here-doesn’t that mean he was a Vampire Hybrid?

Nobody knew what kind of Hybrid he was, and him being a Vampire Hybrid is the most likely case’ As he thought of that, Lucivar stopped and glanced over to the massive windows to his left.

He turned and viewed the front yard and the sunlight absent-mindedly.

“I was intending-to flee from this family after we arrived at Sunhold City-and it should have become easier, now that Delilah was not here,” Lucivar muttered silently, pondering about his next moves.

But then, Delilah’s death flashed in his mind, causing him to frown hard.

“I should find out more about Tobias,” He firmed his mind.

“If he was indeed a Vampire Hybrid then he must’ve had a big influence here and I could use that if I got into trouble.

Considering the nature of my ether, I’ll surely get into trouble sooner or later” Moving once again, Lucivar eventually reached his supposed room.

He stood in front of two massive doors.

Just as he was about to push open the door, he frowned and his ear closer.

Lucivar could hear muffled sounds coming from the inside-moaning sounds that came from his supposed room-and instinctively, his hand rested, on the handle of his dagger.

Counting to three in his mind, he silently pushes open the door.

Peeking into the room, he found a maid sitting on the bed, facing the other way.

She was leaning back and her hand was moving, she seemed to be doing something.

But Lucivar couldn’t see what she was doing from this angle.

Deciding to check what she was doing, Lucivar stealthily got into the room and crept closer to the maid.

He unsheathed his dagger, expecting for the worse.

Keeping his distance, from her-Lucivar peeked at what she was doing without her knowing.

However, what he was expecting was far from reality.

As he cautiously peeked at what she was doing, a mix of disbelief and exasperation washed over him.

Lucivar let out a light sigh, lowering his weapon, and massaged his forehead when he realized the maid was lost in her own private moment.

She was covering her mouth with her other hand, muffling her moans.

For better or worse, she was masturbating, slightly wetting the bed’s edge and also the floor.

“Ekhhmm…” Lucivar cleared his throat, leaning back on an antique dressing table.

Upon hearing this, the maid turned and made eye contact with Lucivar.

It was silent for a few seconds as the maid froze, but when she realized what was happening-her eyes widened in utter shock before she screamed at the top of her lungs, “Pervert!!”
