Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1015 A Simple Sword Art Becomes Profound In The Hands Of A Monster

SNAP—!

A vine whipped at Lith's body while splitting the air beside him.

He jumped and slashed his sword, cutting off the vine, and took a step in front.

The space around his leg twisted and with one step, he was a hundred steps ahead, right in front of the woman's face.

The woman's eyes widened in shock and she let out a soul piercing scream.

Lith's eardrums and eyes burst apart, a stinging pain coursed through his head and body. However, the pain tolerance training done during his childhood was still effective and kept him unaffected.

"1st Ancient Sword Strike: Swift Sparrow."

Lith crouched down, coiled himself like a spring, and launched forward with a burst of speed, slashing his blade at the wrapped vines at the base.

The woman let out another soul piercing scream and Lith was sent a few steps back, staggering.

ƈοm "17th Ancient Sword Strike: Rising Phoenix."

Taking a leap that defied gravity, Lith shot up in the sky like a bullet. Yielding to the sheer force of his ascent, a deep crater imprinted itself on the ground.

The sword's blade was engulfed in flames as the Fire elemental energy surged towards it.

Afterimages of a blazing fury etched itself in a beautiful arc in midair as Lith did a sharp descent, cutting off the tree's many branches.

"Kraaaaaaa!"

Another soul piercing left the face's mouth. This time it was so loud that ripples of sound appeared in the air and sent Lith flying.

The Giant girl watching from afar wanted to scream. She wanted to tell Lith to not hurt her aunt, but watching the demonic face on the tree which barely resembled her aunt's, she could only bite her lip until blood leaked out and stay put.

Lucas on the other hand wanted to run, but knew it would be the worst mistake of his life.

The Vampire Prince was much stronger than his expectations. It was to the point that...

'He's using a simple sword technique… but it looks like something really profound in his hands. With the way it's executed, not even someone who has complete mastery over it would be able to do it. Just… what is this potential…'

Fate was a bitch. To some it gave astronomical power for no reason whatsoever and to some, it took away their everything even though they hadn't done anything.

Now, Lucas didn't know what Lith's background was. But he knew that the potential he had... to have such a thing â€" all stars in the cosmos need to align themselves perfectly to have such a monster be born.

Lucas only saw the potential and failed to recognize the efforts Lith had put behind these things.

Throughout the years, even though he seemed carefree and appeared to be doing everything but train, it wasn't the case.

Holding a knife was similar to holding a blade. Chopping veggies were similar to chopping the limbs of enemies.

There were times when Juan and Miguel gave him and his party such tough roots to slice that it wasn't possible to do so even with their insane strength.

A hundred years ago, there was a time when Lith was stranded on an island by Juan and Miguel in some other dimension.

His friends were sent to some other places and they had to survive on that very island for a week.

It was not a problem until Lith realized there was no elemental energy in the surroundings. There was no way to replenish lost spiritual power and hence, it was a literal hell.

Without elemental energies nourishing his body, Lith would be as good as a normal mortal.

He had to eat, drink, sleep, piss and do the other normal activities like a normal mortal otherwise he would die of waste substances accumulating in his body.

Thankfully, there were no monsters or beasts in this place that could harm Lith. They were harmless rabbits, goats, and the likes.

For a week, Lith had to hunt beasts, gather herbs and plants, and also make shelter for himself and survive. It was quite challenging and something Lith would avoid at any cost in future.

The beasts had to be torn open manually. There was no stone on this island that could be sharpened into a spear. There was nothing that could be used as a knife. It was more challenging than it initially appeared.

Lith used his sharp, long Vampire nails as a knife. It broke at times while cutting and brought severe pain. Without elemental energies and spiritual power, the pain of such a small breakage was ten times more severe.

He endured it and did his best.𝒩ew updates 𝒂t n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com

His body acted as a sword and a shield. He may be trying to cook food, but the things that actually got cooked were his skills.

He was a changed man after that.

Not only him, the rest were the same. The most haggard being Ralph, which was quite surprising.

Miwa was a mountain girl with brawns greater than Dennis's. How she cultivated was unknown, but her physique was super strong and she was somehow immune to all auras.

She easily survived in that place.

Dennis too did as he smashed beasts apart and ate raw meat everyday. His stomach was bloated and he hadn't been able to poop due to a lack of fiber. His body was turning blue, but he thought it was some cool after effect of consuming blue-

colored birds.

Had it been more than a week, he would've died of waste accumulation in his body.

As for Ralph, even though he was intelligent… there was nothing his intelligence could be used upon on these islands.

They had to act like cavemen and do their things. Even with high intelligence, Ralph could not find any tools to make, any shelter to keep at a safe place, and there was nothing that could be used on the island to protect himself from mosquitoes.

His body's regeneration abilities weren't like the Vampires or tough like Miwa's. He truly suffered a big blow here.

Not to mention, being turned into a mortal, his lust erupted. He had turned into a mindless beast by the fifth day and survived purely on instincts.

A month after the training was over, Dennis gossiped to Lith that Ralph was a manwhore. He slept with a hundred girls back at his place and the beauties were of all races available in this world.

In any case, Lith had done a lot to hone his skills which Lucas wasn't able to see through.

A simple sword technique in his hands looked like a sword god was wielding it.

The branches on the woman were cut apart and black blood seeped out of it.

The face of the monster was twisted and contorted in agony and pain. It continuously let out loud shrieks and made the entire hall quake.

Lith's shot ears and eyes regenerated. His body stabilized itself and he was back to proper health. For some reason, the energy in this room was much higher and better than the one present in this world.

Someone from higher realms was doing something here. He was sure of it.

Had it been someone else in his stead, even Ralph or Dennis, they wouldn't have been able to find it out.

The world had only just gotten in touch with the rest of the universe. They did not have the proper idea of dealing with higher beings.

Back in the Royal Archives, there were ways available to check which higher being was in one's own world.

This method belonged to an ancient Human clan that wanted to avoid conflict with higher beings and also contact them for their own benefit.

The ritual was a failure as the Humans were wiped out for their audacity. However, this could be easily avoided.

Fei, the one who was standing beside Lith in the courtyard while he was studying it, actually recognized this ritual. Being from a long extinct ancient clan herself, such things were trivial stuff for her.

She helped Lith change the ritual a little bit. With this, there wouldn't be any harm.

Keith, who had walked in on them studying, also took notice of the ritual and added a few points herself.

She was ancient too, not as much as Fei, but had strength far greater than hers, and being a Devil, had a lot of knowledge on these kinds of things.

Keith added a bit of modification in the ritual for Lith. With this…

Hehe, Lith would know what it would do when he uses it. This was what she told him and didn't elaborate further.

Being binded by a contract, Lith knew she couldn't harm directly or indirectly or even wish for it. So he wasn't worried about the modification she made.

Fei had her eyebrows knitted when she saw the ritual's modification. Being an ancient entity, from a race as rare as snow in a desert, even she couldn't figure out the depths of it. She knew it was something that would help Lith, but not much more than that.

Whatever the case be, she assured Lith that it was safe to use and asked for a copy so that she could study it herself. The Yellow Phantom Seers were a race of scholars. It was in her blood to fiddle with works such as these.

Lith looked at the screaming monster and took out a piece of paper from his ring. He ran towards it and began drawing a square filled with magic spell inscriptions with his blood oozing out from his index finger.

He didn't use the Space element to move closer to the monster and simply ran.

By the time he reached it, the spell was ready, and he slapped it on the woman's demonic face.

BOOM—!
