Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1175 The War - From The Ground Level (2)

The warm desert wind brushed past Lith's shoulder, swaying his loose cloak along. His hood cast a sharp shadow on the ground, but like a stone statue he stood still and waited.

Soon enough, the altar shook and after a dark flash, a heavy suppression made everyone in the settlement shudder.

The surroundings turned dim, as if the sun never existed, and a lanky figure with flowing black hair, wearing loose white daoist robes, appeared.

Intense bloodlust seeped out from him along with an aura of death, as if the man was a decomposing corpse.

As Lith eyed him, the man's face turned in his direction. It was devoid of any nourishment and seemed almost skeletal.

"A King Rank in this dumpster?" The man cracked his neck. "Good. You will be a good material for refining."

The man's body disappeared in a flash.

Lith took his sword out and slashed the air beside his waist.

A loud clang made dust clouds erupt and pushed the onlookers behind.

"W-what's happening..."

Everyone's heart shuddered in fear, except for one boy who stared at the dusty scene with blazing eyes.

"Look!" He exclaimed as the dust settled.

A man with silver hair was holding a pitch black sword horizontally in front of his chest.

Holding this blade was the man in daoist robes, possessing a twisted expression.

"A mere King Rank is able to block my attack? Impossible."

The figure vanished with a flash.

A whistle of a wind resounded in everyone's ears, followed by another loud clanging sound.

The man in flowing robes was now behind the man with silver hair.

Lith placed the sword diagonally behind his back, which the man held again.

"Impossible! This is totally impossible!"

Intense bloodlust erupted from the man, one that couldn't be achieved with the sacrifice of millions.

His body flashed in and out of existence repeatedly, moving everywhere around Lith, trying to find an opening and pierce his body.

Lith wasn't allowing him to lay a single finger on him. This further shocked the monster as he could not fathom how a mere King Rank could defend himself from a god like him, so effortlessly!

"Whoever you are, you have been quite audacious. Your end won't be—"

"Quiet." Lith turned his head to the side and said coldly, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

The man in daoist robes shuddered.

Lith slashed his sword in empty air at another side and it cut through something fleshly.@@@@

"Uuggh..."

Despite being two realms lower, Lith could defeat the man.

It wasn't because he was stronger than him, but because he could recognize attack patterns easily and deflect those.

The man, appearing egoistic and bloodthirsty, made Lith understand that he would go for his heart.

Lith hadn't given out his identity as a vampire, which would mean the man would assume him as a human. This was the second hint.

At higher levels, as everyone was an expert, prediction played a big role in fights and wars.

Lith's sword played another major role. It was made of some indestructible material and couldn't be broken by a Legendary Rank either.

In any case, Ha Jiao was killed.

The flames Lith had summoned were made of pure Destruction, Dark, and Fire elemental energies.

A highly weakened Emperor Rank had no way of resisting such a high level of spell or counter-powering it.

With the man dead and his memories searched, Lith got a rough idea that the Asuras were being pushed back.

Many in the Asura God Clan were torturing lower ranking beings and mortals. They were using underhanded methods to gain strength, and doing what they could to ensure their survival.

Now, Lith wouldn't be against this or as a matter of fact, care.

What anyone did was none of his business.

However, what the AGC or EGC did was completely his business.

Not hurting mortals or bullying lower ranking beings was an unsaid rule everywhere.

With power came responsibility, and the said responsibility wasn't borne, then in would come a heavenly tribulation.

'The Asuras must've not felt a heavenly tribulation in a long time. I am going to be magnanimous and let them experience one.' Lith thought to himself.

His job here was done and he was about to leave, but his gaze fell on the small boy he had met earlier.

The boy was looking in his direction with curious and eager eyes.

Lith walked up to the boy.

"If you wish to protect all like I did, eat this after five years. Until then, help around however you can."

Lith vanished from the boy's sight before he could ask any question.

The boy was more confused than ever, wondering what it was that Lith just gave him.

And what did he mean by eating this after five years?

Was there any such food out there that wouldn't be spoiled after five years? The boy couldn't tell.

What he could tell was that the warrior was strong and noble. He aspired to be like him.

The boy went to the old and middle aged men from before, praising himself for being right about not giving up.

Lith didn't see the aftermath of his actions. He solved this small civilization's problem simply because it felt nothing.

He was off to another Asura God Clan's territory to have a better overview of the situation from the ground up.
