Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 99 Resort, Shady Men

Melissa was also a bit upset, "I agree with you, folks! But let me also tell you that if you were there, most of you would also do anything to win! Now we will take some rest because it's already night. The next round will be held in this stadium tomorrow at 8 in the morning!

"Oh yeah, prepare your money because betting booths will open tomorrow!"

The audience cheered after hearing the last line before leaving the stadium.

On the other hand, the fifty participants also left the forest by following the enforcers. When they came out, they were greeted by their respective guides.

Zevien saw Maxum and five more people of Lopax country moving towards him.

"Alucard, you didn't have to eliminate people of our own country," Maxum weakly smiled.

"Huh?" Zevien raised his eyebrows before saying, "only five people will get the admission medallion, and I am not here to help others. Now, if you will excuse me."

Saying that he flew up. But Maxum quickly spoke, "wait!"

"What?"

"I had already booked six rooms in a five-star hotel when I saw you six surviving until the end. Everything from food to massage is booked," Maxum said with a smile.

"No need. I will stay in Nashor Resort since I heard it's pretty famous here. Though before leaving, I want to know when will this contest end?" Zevien asked as he looked at Maxum.

"It will end tomorrow if no mishap occurs," Maxum answered.

"Thanks," Zevien nodded before flying towards the Nashor Resort. While flying, he contacted Vernisia and told her that the contest would likely end tomorrow.

'I thought it would last longer. I don't remember how long it lasted before time-rewind since I had nothing to do with it at that time,' Zevien happily thought since the sooner it's over, the sooner he can return.

Shortly later, Zevien saw the resort and was impressed. It was a big resort with lots of greenery surrounding it. There were several different-sized swimming pools, and all the structures were made out of exotic redwood.

The whole resort consisted of seven unique pavilions of different sizes and ten wooden houses that were also positioned and built differently.

He descended at the entrance and walked towards the reception pavilion. Three men were sitting on a couch in the pavilion, but after briefly glancing at Zevien, they minded their own business. However, one of them looked at Zevien a second longer as his eyes briefly shined with surprise flickering in his eyes. But he quickly looked away like his team members.

"Welcome, Mr. Alucard. Your performance was superb in the contest," the reception lady said with a smile. "We have several packages here; which one would you like to choose, and for how many days?"

The lady gave three brochures to Zevien.

"Thank you," Zevien smiled and nodded but didn't look at the brochure, "I want the best package you can offer for this night."

"As you wish," the lady nodded with a bright smile, "the best package for 5th class magicians will cost 750 Gaia credits."

'Wow. That's 75,000 Lopax credits,' Zevien thought, but he now has no shortage of money.

Zevien nodded as he took out his debit card, "this is a Lopax country card, but you can take it and convert from LC to GC, right?"

"Yes. However, there will be a 3% conversion fee," the lady said with a smile.

"But you can also contact your bank and convert some amount into GC; that will decrease your cost or even be done free, depending on your membership in your bank."

"Alright, I'll do that since I will need more GC in the future," Zevien nodded as he contacted his CA, who was also CA of the Zenith Corp.

Zevien--, "Jason, convert all funds in my Alucard registered bank account into Gaia credits."

Jason--, "Five minutes."

Zevien--, "No problem."

"Give me the highest package for 5th class magician; here's the credit card," a man in his early twenties arrived at the desk and said with a smile. He then glanced at the card in Zevien's hand and scoffed.

"Hmm?" Zevien turned to him and asked, "what's so funny?"

"I mean, you shouldn't waste money saved on your debit card just to show off. You are already standing out in that get-up," the man chuckled.

Zevien looked at his credit card and smiled, "so you think people who use credit cards are rich? Heh, I don't need to use credit cards to borrow the bank's money and pay it with the next month's salary because the money in my account never runs out, unlike yours."

After saying that, Zevien left the desk and walked toward a couch before sitting on it.

'I'll see you tomorrow in the stadium, vampire clown. Humph,' the man snorted and left after the staff arrived and led him after he paid and booked his package.

Zevien didn't recognize him since he didn't pay attention to all the participants. But all the other participants definitely know him by now because of his appearance.

*Ding!*

[All funds in Alucard's bank account are converted to Gaia Credits. 400m LC into 400k GC, done.]

Zevien stood up and went to the reception desk after getting the message and paid 750 GC.

...

'Damn, this place is awesome,' Zevien thought as he lay on his bed with an open view to his left side from the balcony that led to his private small swimming pool.

Even though it was night, there were expensive candlelights illuminating areas of the resort, making it look so beautiful and relaxing.

Zevien had removed his outfit after bathing but kept his vampire form and wore a bathrobe.

'I should show Vernisia this place. We can come here together on vacation later,' Zevien thought smilingly as he video called Vernisia.

…

Somewhere in the resort, three men spoke inside a barrier they had created. The talk seemed to be very important.

"Are you sure?"

"My detection-type spell can't be wrong. I incorporated complete magic traces from the first three ranks of magic crystals in the spell formation when I created this spell. Multiple magic crystal traces surrounded that guy, so he definitely has several magic crystals in his possession unless he used them recently."

"Well, we are going to butcher a lot of people because of our mission, so we might as well add one more."
