Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 108 Doom Enters

The audience left while Zevien and others followed Melissa into one of the rooms on the ground floor of the stadium.

"If you plan to sell the medallion, consider putting it in the grand auction that will start after three months in Palia Town." Melissa smiled and continued, "you can get a higher price for your medallion at the auction."

Rukin's eyes shone as he nodded, "I want to sell."

"Me too," Nishi said as she also nodded eagerly.

"I am not planning to sell it," Zevien said as he shook his head. "if there's nothing more, then I shall take my leave."

"See you later, Alucard. Hopefully, somewhere in the Lankrena region soon," Melissa said as a seductive smile formed on her face.

Zevien had already turned around, so he didn't see her face. He just waved his hand before leaving the room.

…

As he came out of the stadium, he saw Maxum waiting for him with the five other contestants of Lopax country.

"Congratulation, Mr. Alucard," Maxum congratulated Zevien with a smile and stretched his hand for a handshake.

"Thanks." Zevien nodded and shook Maxum's hand before asking, "when are we leaving?"

"We will leave right away," Maxum said before remembering something and saying, "oh, if Mr. Alucard wants to stay longer, then we can book a flight ticket for you. However, we won't be able to delay our private flight."

"No need. I am coming with you," Zevien shook his head.

…

Six hours later, they landed at Starlight City's airport…

Zevien directly flew towards his Zenith Corp and called Vernisia, Erica, and Dan there since it was 3:30 in the afternoon, and they would've finished their academic work.

However, unbeknownst to anyone, three peak 5th class magicians from the Blood Sun organization had also entered the city and were going to execute their plan at 7 in the night. They were currently staying in an average hotel while occasionally contacting their hidden agents. All those hidden agents were part of the underground forces of the city.

Inside the 3-star hotel, Starfish Paradise.

"What is the planting location?"

"Here, at this semi-high urban area," one of the men spoke as he marked a location on the map and showed it to his team members.

Shockingly, the location marked was very close to the orphanage!

…

Zevien arrived at the ground-floor office and finally turned into his original form. Afterward, he removed the remaining vampire blood from his magic eidos body and put it back into the vial.

The vial was filled up to 30%, causing Zevien to raise his eyebrows, 'so I consumed 70% of the vial to maintain vampire form this long? Not bad. I got nine more vials, so they should last longer. Hmm, I should still fill up more vials and store them since I will consume more drops of vampire blood for a greater boost as I get stronger.'

Shortly afterward, Vernisia entered the office with an excited smile and directly hugged him. "You fought awesomely, Zev!"

*Smooch!!*

After a short kiss, Vernisia separated while still grinning, "we were planning to go to Arena and fight but since you are here, let's go together."

"Hey, bro! Damn, you really pumped our blood by participating in that contest and fighting that fiercely as if you were possessed," Dan arrived laughingly and made a punching motion as he and Zevien bumped their fists.

"And that arrogance with aloofness," Erica chuckled, "you invested so much in your Alucard persona."

"That's because I have plans for it when we go to the Skyward Academy," said Zevien as he rubbed his nose while grinning, "while we study, I want to prep our clan by completing some tasks from the Magic Guild and gaining contributions. Oh, and check this out…."

Zevien took out X-Door crystal from his storage ring and showed it to everyone.

"What is this?" Vernisia asked curiously while looking at the container as her eyes reflected the crystal with sparks inside it.

"I feel like it is something dangerous," Dan muttered.

"Mhmm," Erica and Vernisia both nodded.

"It is indeed dangerous," Zevien said with a severe expression as he went on to tell them what he experienced in the resort.

After hearing everything, they also became angry.

"But why did they try to kill you?" Vernisia asked with a frown.

"The manager sent me a message regarding that," Zevien sighed, "They wanted to kill me for the magic crystals in my possession. One of them had a detection-type spell that could detect magic traces of magic crystals."

"Did you tell them about their real identity and plan to detonate this crystal in our city?" Erica asked as her eyebrows creased.

"Nope. That would be a mistake," Zevien shook his head, "it's better that I tell this to people I trust. If I told them about this, they would also have forcefully taken this crystal from me."

"Touma-sir and the others still haven't returned," Vernisia frowned as she looked at the container. She appeared to be thinking something. "Should we tell this to authorities here?"

"Hmm…"

Dan, Erica, and Zevien fell into thought regarding that suggestion.

"If Merax, Blondina, or someone I knew were here, I would have handed this over to them, but…currently, I doubt the authorities here would take me seriously. I also can't contact higher authorities here. We are just students," Zevien sighed.

"Wait…what if they have more of this crystal, and their plan hasn't changed?" Vernisia suddenly thought of this possibility.

Zevien frowned before his eyes suddenly widened, "this…this is not what if but has over 50% chance of happening because the main powerhouses are missing from our city! Touma-sir told me that he, City Lord Cargil, and other influential people from our city were going to Astral Land.

"Touma-sir trusted me, so he told me this but isn't this critical information in a way?" Zevien frowned as he became slightly anxious. If this crystal activated in the city, it would cause catastrophic damage!

"Relax, there are other ways for the enemies to get this information as well," Erica said thoughtfully, but she and the rest had their foreheads creased in worry.

"We have to do something," Dan said as he clenched his fist, "if they still haven't abandoned their mission and had another crystal like this, they would definitely do it since this is a chance for them."

*Thud!*

Zevien thought of something and abruptly stood up from the chair!
