Modern World Warlock-Chapter 153: The Jade Dragons’ Next Step

It had been a little over two weeks since the eradication of the Blood Dragons, and Dante and his friends had been busy with numerous errands.

Camille had ordered a large residence to be fully remodeled as she wanted to make it the new Jade Dragons' residence.

The old one was almost entirely demolished by their opponents, but Camille didn't think that was a problem since she wanted to have the new home closer to the city.

While the residence's construction was ongoing, Dante had to meet with Ex-Detective Alice at the lab.

A few days after Astaroth's death, the woman started feeling ill, and Dante noticed that Alice's umbra had been tampered with and was making it go out of control, which sickened the ex-detective.

Nonetheless, Dante was able to treat the sickness by absorbing the excess umbra that flowed from her body—gently placing his hand on her back to do so.

Moreover, Clara learned how to treat Alice during that time, as the woman had been diligently practicing her warlock skills.

Even though Alice was completely cured, Dante realized that the woman was starting to control umbra involuntarily, making him ponder if she would become a forged warlock like Clara.

Zac's mother became a forged warlock due to her body being under the effects of demon blood for years, but Alice was only exposed to it for a little more than a day.

When Dante reminisced about the time he saved Alice at the abandoned factory, he remembered seeing that she had loosened the ethereal black chains ensnaring her body.

Normally, that wouldn't have been possible for someone with no umbra control, so Dante believed that while Alice had a knack for controlling umbra, she didn't have the innate talent to become a warlock.

After Alice's treatment was over, Dante asked the woman if she wanted to make a contract with him—the same type of contract that Megan and Zac had done.

He explained to the ex-detective that she had the talent to control umbra but not to become a warlock.

If she made the contract with Dante, she could control it more effectively, and they could eventually figure out what fighting style suited her best.

Alice thought about it and said she would give her response when the new Jade Dragons' residence was finished, to which Dante agreed as he wasn't in a rush.

Apart from Clara's training and Alice's treatment, Megan and Zac kept training at the lab almost every day.

Zac was stoked to keep learning more skills that he could use as a berserker, and Megan, who initially didn't care about her title, was showing interest in the dark rogues' skills.

Her interest in her skills started piquing a few days after the battle with Astaroth when the Omega Team was re-watching the old live feeds at Camille's office.

In Megan's encounter with Sabelio, she used a skill called "Killing Intent" without even realizing it. When Dante elaborated and said that the skill slowed down her enemy's movement due to fear, she began to show more interest in it.

"Do dark rogues evolve like dark warriors?" Megan inquired.

"They can—It's not very common, but I have seen it before…" Dante replied.

From that point forward, Megan kept practicing her skills at the lab with more enthusiasm, which made the warlock a bit happy.

When it came to the demons who stayed with the Jade Dragons, they were all put to work in different areas.

Camille enjoyed Lilith's company and foresight, but she was too talented and powerful to keep as a guard, so Cerberus kept his job of protecting the handler.

The five succubi that stayed on Earth had been helping the servants at the skyscraper, but Camille still had some other plans for them.

Saris, the banshee, spent most of her time at the laboratory watching Megan and Zac practice their skills. Still, she would periodically hang out with the scientists of the Zeta Team to help with their experiments.

The three teenagers were escorted back home by the Omega Team. However, Camille told them that they were honorary members of the Jade Dragons, so they could count on them for any trouble that they had.

The first one to arrive at their home was Lina, who still kept the soul shard that was linked to Megan since she never got to use it.

She tried to give it back, but Megan told her to keep it just in case she ever needed it, making Lina smile while placing the crystal close to her heart.

When the group left Jake at his house, he began getting scolded by his mother in front of the group, and even though the woman seemed furious, all the energy flowing from her was positive, making the warlock smile with satisfaction.

'That's a good mom…' Dante thought.

The lady thanked the group for taking care of her son, to which they replied by saying they would help anytime.

After leaving Tommy at his home and watching him also get scolded by his parents, the Omega Team felt relieved and satisfied with the results.

Most of the victims that were taken by the Blood Dragons were given jobs under Camille's different companies—only if they wanted.

Since they were all from low-income households, the prospect of having a job with a good salary was enough to sway them into joining Camille.

Dr. Sylva ended up joining the Zeta Team under Paige's supervision, as the knowledge he had gained while conducting his experiments for the demons could be helpful to them. Still, the man's trauma was deep, so he had to attend therapy for a long time.

Moreover, he didn't get to see his daughter in person.

Trinity had deleted all of the information that related her to Dr. Sylva, which she had done as a security measure in the past. Nevertheless, she wasn't keen on seeing anyone from the Jade Dragons in person.

The hacker agreed to keep working for the Jade Dragons, but she placed the condition that she never wanted to be seen.

Even if she wanted to meet her father, she knew that there was a chance he would be followed and her location would be leaked.

Camille wasn't a fan of her conditions, but she still agreed since Trinity's skills were invaluable.
