CHAPTER 71: ENTIRE LINEAGE WILL BE WIPED OUT

’Damn! This is bad!’

Lucien thought and lifted his head to look at Sera, only to see her eyes looking at him straight.

Only this time, without a shred of confusion as before.

Moreover, he noticed that, unlike earlier, her glabella was now shimmering with a faint golden fiery glow, where a delicate mark shaped like fiery wings seemed to flicker beneath her skin.

’Is that the mark of her Phoenix Blood?’

Lucien was sure that what pushed him violently just now was her Phoenix bloodline. After all, he could feel that her aura was exactly the same as those fires she left on his body before.

’Damn! I forgot that she has something like that in her body.’

Because of his skill, ’Devour,’ successfully managed to suck and set aside the Phoenix fire spreading through her body, he unconsciously took it too lightly.

But he forgot that Phoenix was a mythical creature after all. How could Sera be allowed to be a slave just like that?

But still, he couldn’t understand why she was completely affected by the class skills, but directly rejected his SSS rank skill effect.

’This doesn’t make sense!’

"What happened?"

While Lucien was thinking rapidly, he once again heard Sera mumbling, this time with a little bit of shock.

When he looked at her, he saw her placing her hands on her lips, eyes wide, looking at him in silent surprise, as if trying to process what had just happened.

But when her eyes met his, she hurriedly lowered them unconsciously as if a little nervous. Her fingers quickly left her lips, leaving them bare, a little swollen due to their intense session just now.

.

She looked just like a shy bride on her wedding night.

’Is she... shy?’

Lucien, of course, saw her reaction and couldn’t help but feel weird. Then he suddenly had hope,

’Did the skill work?’

Although he failed to leave a mark of Crimson Sigil, if the Bewitching Kiss worked, that would give him a window of time to do something.

However, the incredibly crimson intangible fire surrounding her and the fiery mark in between her eyebrows that was still jumping out, crackling on its own, made Lucien confused.

"What is your name?"

As the standoff lingered with only crackling crimson fire around Sera, a sweet voice finally broke the silence.

"Huh?"

Lucien was stunned by the question and looked at her in confusion, only for Sera to lift her head and look at him, this time with no shyness.

"I asked, What is your name?"

She asked again in a neutral voice, neither angry nor amiable. She looked just a little curious, to which Lucien answered unconsciously,

"Lucien!"

’She didn’t even know my name?’

But inside, he was feeling quite bitter. Now that he saw her reaction, he was sure that Sera wasn’t affected.

Well, it couldn’t be said she wasn’t affected, as she didn’t completely go berserk and try to kill him.

It meant his suggestion did work, but only partially.

And this was dangerous, extremely so.

After all, the skill effect was temporary. Once she was out of the effect, that too possibly in less than 24 hours, his life might be in danger.

"Lucien...."

After hearing his name, Sera mumbled in a low voice as if taking his name into her mind, then looked at him again, saying lightly,

"Lucien, huh. I remember you."

Once she said that, she suddenly turned around and walked away. The fiery flame surrounding her became smaller and smaller until it disappeared, just like the mark between her eyebrows.

All that remained was her long, waist-length hair gently swaying with each step and her tall figure wrapped in a beautiful dress, rumpled and creased in places.

Only, if Lucien could see her face now, he would be surprised to see her smile.

’He is quite interesting... and warm!’

Sera unconsciously licked her lips as if reminiscing her first kiss, which was quite forced yet extremely sweet, like nectar. She feared that if she didn’t leave this place immediately, she might ask for him again.

Too bad Lucien didn’t see her reaction. Instead, he was completely confused by her response.

’That’s it?’

He didn’t know what he expected, but surely this wasn’t it.

Now, he felt that maybe Sera was affected, but he felt no power over her.

Where was the loyalty and obedience he planted?

She seemed perfectly fine.

Just, for some reason, she didn’t seem to mind what he did to her.

’Sigh... I am so tired.’

Lucien suddenly sighed and turned his head away from Sera’s slowly leaving figure.

He didn’t know why, but he felt that he was cursed.

Cursed by the Goddess of Fate.

Otherwise, why would he encounter such things one after another for no reason?

Was he a cursed star, who would attract danger like a magnet?

Why couldn’t he become stronger in a low-key manner?

’Now, both Lilith and Sera know my weird abilities. Although both of them might not say anything for now, it isn’t good to stay in Bellenford anymore.’

A wise person wouldn’t step into a storm thinking it won’t strike.

Now that his uncanny abilities had already been noticed by two girls, both the princesses of this kingdom, he was truly in danger.

What if they told their family? If the Edoria family got wind of it, he didn’t know if his grandfather could save him.

’It seems it is time to leave this place.’

Lucien thought, then turned around and left the remote place he was in.

He didn’t want another person to spring out of nowhere, dragging him into another quagmire again.

’Let’s also warn Grandpa and my parents before leaving.’

Lucien was making plans when suddenly someone rushed in front of him, shouting in panic.

"Young master, you’re here! Hurry, come home! The Lionheart Family has declared war on our Goldveil Family. They’ve announced that if you leave the capital, they’ll kill you on the spot!"

It was Garrick who was now breathless and frantic, pouring everything in one breath.

Lucien didn’t know how he’d found him here, but that wasn’t the point.

The point was what he just said, making Lucien freeze on the spot.

Just moments before, he had been planning to leave the capital to avoid trouble and get stronger, and then this happened, again?

"F*ck, can I have a moment of peace?"

Lucien finally snapped, cursing loudly, anger rushing through his veins. His fiery aura exploded out, stopping Garrick mid-step.

"Y-Young master...?"

Garrick stopped in his tracks, staring at the blazing aura that erupted around Lucien like a storm.

’Why do I feel like... he’s stronger than me?’ he couldn’t help but think in disbelief.

Even as an Invoker realm warrior, he was feeling strong danger from him.

But Lucien didn’t care about him as his eyes burned. He took a deep breath, then spoke in a cold voice,

"Let’s go. I want to see who that bastard is who wants to kill me. If I don’t wipe out his entire lineage, then I’m not Lucien."

He had had enough.

’That bullshit Lionheart or whatever. Let them see who they’ve offended.’

The coldness in his eyes made Garrick shudder.

He didn’t know what had changed in his young master after the class awakening, but whatever it was, he felt it was terrifying.
