Ascension of the Dark Seraph - Chapter 65

Chapter 65: The Fool (2) Chapter 65: The Fool (2) Professor Fury saw the hooded figure, who was definitely Lucivar, heading to the abandoned building used for the inauguration.

He stomped the ground and propelled himself forward, he would not let Lucivar escape.

Since this is still not on the main academy grounds, it was a blind spot.

He could kill Lucivar without any consequences.

In fact, outside was better, there were no risks of other hunters seeing him do the deeds.

But there would be CCTVs up ahead nearing the back gate of the academy, Professor Fury can’t let Lucivar reach that area.

Then again, there was no way Lucivar would outrun him, it was simply impossible.

Lucivar sprinted, his heavy breaths echoed through the inside of the abandoned building.

He looked over his shoulder and saw Professor Fury entering the place.

In slow motion, Professor Fury bends his knees, flexing his leg muscles before he makes one powerful dash that cuts through the distance between them in an instant.

Showing no mercy-Professor Fury grabbed Luivar’s head and threw him to the side.

Under the enormous force, the hooded Lucivar crashes through several walls hard.

Concrete rocks flew everywhere as he stopped at the fifth wall.

Prostrating on the ground, coughing blood from his mouth, Lucivar panted heavily.

His entire body was washed over by pain, he was certain many of his bones broke from that.

Just as the law of power states, a Chrysalis Hybrid is far beyond a Neophyte Hybrid.

One Chrysalis Hybrid could take on thousands of Neophyte Hybrids, and it wouldn’t be close.

Going through the holes, Professor Fury’s steps echoed like a death knell inside the building.

“Instead of dying like a worthless meddler you are, you retaliated,” He said as he approached-his voice deep with disdain and anger.

“Not only that but you also humiliated me in front of the entire new hunters, and again by putting those hunters I sent to you inside the black box, forcing me to create an entire story to cover it up” “I must say, I’ve never had this much problem in getting rid of someone young” He added.

Professor Fury’s feet stopped when he stood right beside the distraught Lucivar.

Looking down at him, Professor Fury tilted his head.

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

“That bitch Callista smuggled you here to protect her daughters, smart…

but it’s not enough” Grabbing the hood, Professor Fury tossed Lucivar away once again.

He slammed against the wall and slid down weakly.

Not wanting this to drag on, Professor Fury raised his hand, casting an ability.

A portal was opened above him, and protruding out of it was a blue spear made of ether.

“It’s unfortunate that you didn’t break down in your last moments but this is it!

Die!” Just as Professor Fury was about to fire the spear, he stopped.

His eyes squinted, the hood was down, and underneath it was not Lucivar, but Leandra.

Upon realizing this, Professor Fury’s blood became icy.

“What are you doing here?

Where’s Lucivar?” He asked, his voice slightly trembling.

Even though Leandra was one of the people close to Lucivar, he didn’t expect her-to go this far to help Lucivar.

She even stayed silent throughout the beatings, even though she could’ve stopped all of this if she exposed who she was from the start.

As opposed to Leandra answering his question, a voice echoed.

“I’m right here, little professor,”  Glancing to his side, Professor Fury’s eyes widened fully when he saw a figure standing in the room across from him.

The figure was wearing, the assistant’s uniform-and was also, undoubtedly Namira in the face but aside from that he was a man with an emerald wing.

Just the emerald wing alone shows who the figure was.

“Lucivar…?” Professor Fury muttered in disbelief.

Slowly but surely, Namira’s facial features melted into ether-revealing Lucivar’s face.

It was a sight that struck Professor Fury right in his core.

As it turns out, Lucivar possessed an ability that could morph his facial features.

His control was immaculate enough that Professor Fury didn’t realize.

But then again, he was indeed panicking at that moment.

Now Professor Fury realized that the ‘Namira’ that informed him earlier was Lucivar.

From the looks of it, the real Namira was already dead.

Gritting his teeth with the raging fury inside of him, Professor Fury screamed, and fired the spear he summoned straight at Lucivar.

It rotated hard and shot ahead, nothing seemed to be able to stop its momentum.

Instead of getting ready to confront the spiraling spear, Lucivar stood unmoving.

Soon, a figure landed right in front of him.

Fabio arrived and quickly fired flames from his hands like a flamethrower.

It clashed against the spear, sparking friction of sharp ether to the surroundings ferociously.

A clash that marred the walls with slash marks.

“Haarghkk!!” Exerting everything that he had, the flames grew enormous and overwhelmed the spiraling spear, engulfing it entirely.

Only then did Fabio lower his arms-but even defending against one attack from Professor Fury took a toll on him.

His ether was drained completely.

Upon seeing this, Professor Fury frowned.

“So it was you, Fabio, who opened the back entrance.

I can’t say I’m surprised,” “What you’re doing is not right, professor.

I have to stop you” “Stop me?” Professor Fury chuckled.

“Even if I’m wrong for trying to kill a new hunter, that doesn’t mean I’m wrong about that sly bastard in a kid’s body.

He’s a murderer and also a monster, and you’re protecting him” Finding that Fabio didn’t believe him at all, Professor Fury shook his head.

He then stared back at Lucivar who was smirking at him.

“Is this your grand plan?

Lure me out here and defeat me with the help of Fabio?” He asked.

“If that’s the case then you’re a damn fool.

In Bastion of Blades, nobody is stronger than me-and I don’t mind killing all three of you here” As he said that, Professor Fury snapped his fingers.

Instead of one, he summoned a dozen portals, all ready to fire the spiraling spear.

Despite Fabio trying so hard to deflect one, Professor Fury could summon as much as he wanted with his bottomless ether of a Chrysalis Hybrid, “I don’t know how you break free from the black box and how you defeat Namira, but you won’t defeat me!” Just then, Lucivar laughed aloud, he couldn’t believe how much of a fool Professor Fury was.

Lucivar laughed so hard that he needed to hold his stomach, he couldn’t stop.

Even Fabio had a look of nervousness but there was no fear.

It was almost as if both of them didn’t fear death.

But then again, why fear death when death is not going to pick them both here today?

“You didn’t even know that I disguised myself as Namira,” Lucivar said, wiping the tears in his eyes.

“and you still boasted high confidence in front of me?

I guess being a professor doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart.

Fine, I’ll enlighten your squatting IQ of a brain” “How dare you!

I’ll rip that foul tongue of yours!” Professor Fury barked back.

He was grinding his teeth so hard that the bony sound it made reached Lucivar’s ears.

Being mocked to this extent, his vision was dyed in red completely.

“I successfully lured you here with the help of Fabio, and I even announced myself to you.

Is that not hint enough?

Hint that you are fucked?” Lucivar asked, grinning mischievously.

“You see, you missed something about me.

I’m quite capable myself so shouldn’t you ask yourself how in the hell someone like me got accepted as an academy hunter instead of a student?” Upon hearing this, Professor Fury’s eyes widened.

Now that Lucivar said that, he wondered how Lucivar got here in the first place.

Since the establishment of the new rule, candidates couldn’t choose to become a hunter.

It was reserved only for those who are really not talented enough.

However, Lucivar wasn’t exactly untalented when he was capable enough to kill Namira.

All of the new students would definitely lose to Namira.

So from that alone, Lucivar was incredibly talented.

As he contemplated further, Professor Fury’s eyes widened in realization.

Seeing this, the grin on Lucivar’s face stretched wider.

“Yes, I made a deal with another professor.

A professor that’s a tad bit stronger than you…” “Lies!

I’ll kill you where you stand!!” Not wanting to hear the bullshit, that came out of Lucivar’s mouth any longer, Professor Fury channeled his ether.

He combined the dozen-of portals into a single portal, it multiplied the spear’s power to a new height.

Swoosh!

Both Lucivar and Fabioa were forced to take a step back from the gush of ether.

It was that powerful.

So powerful that the surrounding walls were cracking from his might.

Even Lucivar was very surprised as to how strong a Chrysalis Hybrid really was.

He had never seen one using an ability in his entire life.

Finishing his preparation, Professor Fury shot the massive spear like a bullet.

It created a booming sound as it broke the sound barrier.

Upon seeing that Lucivar and Fabio couldn’t even react to the spear’s speed, Professor Fury laughed inwardly.

He savored the future of seeing both of them pierced, and mangled by his spear, death with one shot.

However, the future he sought never came.

A figure came with lightning-fast speed and with one hand, slapped the spear away.

Clang!

Kaboom!

Both the figure and Professor Fury made eye contact as the spear pierced through the wall to their side, and drilled into the ground.

Tension crackled in the air-and Professory Fury’s mind raced, trying to make sure who he was looking at was real or not.

It took a couple of seconds before Professor Fury could finally snap out of his daze.

His breath got stuck in his throat at the sight of the old man who deflected his attack.

An old man who carried a scholarly, and refined air around him-holding the signature wolf-head cane that would make him recognized everywhere across the academy ground.

It was a shocking sight that forced Professor Fury to gulp harshly.

Realizing that he was exposed made his throat feel dry.

“P- Professor Aeldric, it’s not what yo-” Before he could finish, Professor Aeldric donned a disgusted expression.

“Don’t…” He said, lifting his index finger.

“Don’t say my name with that vile mouth of yours” Brak!

Suddenly, Professor Fury fell to his knees and the ground underneath his knees cracked.

One could see that Professor Aeldric’s finger was concentrated in ether.

He didn’t seem to be trying but his finger was enough to put Professor Fury to his knees.

As one of the main professors of the Bloodhaven Academy, he was amongst the strongest.

Unlike Professor Fury, he has immense authority and power.

Seeing that Professor Fury was pinned on his spot, Lucivar peeked from behind Professor Aeldric, and he cast the same mocking smirk at Professor Fury, the same one as when he outwitted Professor Fury during the inauguration.

Lucivar mouthed the words ‘Got you, foolish professor’ his lips moving silently without a sound.
