Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 919 Something Fishy Going On

?Royal Castle, Nightingale.

"What the fuck!?" Lucifer exclaimed, almost spitting her tea.

"Oh my…" Agalea covered her face and said softly.

"That seems like an overkill, no?" Mayzin commented while possessing a calm expression.

As for Lilith, she had a serious expression on her face and said, "That is indeed… overkill."

The ladies were sitting on couches on the rooftop of the castle.

In the middle of them was the tablet screen which showed the live stream of Lith and could be viewed from any angle.

Not only were these four ladies watching, there were even Luna, Qingyue, Freya and Bella present around them, sitting on the ledge of the rooftop behind the four ladies.

Their expressions were grave as they watched the screen and had some cake.

"Not only him, his other friends didn't even get a chance to fight back. I mean, just look at that poor human girl and Avelyn's son. I'm sure Avelyn is currently sweating rivers or crying even." Lucifer said, looking at the three ladies.

Agalea and Mayzin nodded their heads in response.

"What happened to the human girl was really unfortunate." Agalea added.

"Sigh… my baby will be very sad…" Lilith said in a low tone.

"You guys… aren't you missing something?" Mayzin suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" The three ladies looked at her.

Mayzin pointed at the screen and repeated, "Look, something is seriously off."

Everyone's attention shifted to the screen.

Suddenly, Bella clapped her hands and said, "Race wise, only the vampires are unharmed as of now."

"Exactly!" Mayzin exclaimed, making the three ladies and the maids surprised.

"If you see clearly, the most brutal death was suffered by the human girl and as for the demon boy, he's yet to be executed, but is going to be executed nonetheless and can't fight back. Only the two vampires are safe till now. Can you guess what it means?"

"Well… Devils like Humans the most." Lucifer chimed in. "Their desires, ambitions, goals… It's much tastier than any other race."

Agalea, Mayzin, and the maids nodded their heads while Lilith listened quietly.

"The demon boy was targeted by the church or something there and we also saw a cross pendant on that old lady, meaning the Holy Church type organization is very active and powerful too." Agalea added.

"Their race affinities attracted their predicament." Lilith said the most important line.

"Indeed. It has probably got something to do with the summoning circle which alerted both the Devils and the Church in that world. Otherwise how do you think they found them so quickly?" Mayzin asked.

"So… what now?" Lucifer asked the important question.

Lilith sighed. "Dunno. I guess we'll watch it till the end and then decide."

"Poor Lith." Agalea said with a hint of melancholy.

It was definitely not a good experience to see your friend die and the emotional turmoil Lith would be in when he finds out, it was going to hurt really bad. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via /n/ov/el/b/in.

…..

Dracula Castle, Milano.

"Oh no… Poor girl…" Fiona commented, watching Miwa get killed.

"That's going to break everyone's hearts." Avelyn added while staring at the screen.

Duchess Fiona and the Sin of Lust Avelyn were sitting on a couch in the lounge room of the castle, watching the tablet.

On the couch beside them, there was Duke Reynolds Dracula, sipping on wine and watching, and beside him was Mu Mu, holding a big jar full of fruit juice.

"Moo Moo…" Mu Mu commented.

"Yes. It's sad indeed." Duke Reynolds replied to his comment and sipped on the wine.

Mu Mu turned to look at Duke Reynolds and pointed at the tablet screen with his hock. "Moo Moo Moooo?"

Duke Reynolds shook his head. "Fighting back wasn't possible. Their foes are too strong."

"Moo!" Mu Mu harrumphed and drank some juice. "Moo, Moomoomoo!?"

Duke Reynolds rubbed his stubble and answered, "They were found out due to their magic circle, probably. There's no other explanation for it."

"Moo…" Mu Mu let out a tired tone and shut up. Things were getting far too complicated for him and he wasn't understanding stuff.

Fiona and Avelyn didn't bat an eye to their conversation, as if it was normal for a cow and a vampire to talk.

Everyone went back to being quiet and stared at the tablet screen, as they saw Dennis appear.

"Dennis, you idiot! Don't trust anyone so easily and walk with them!" Fiona exclaimed and threw her wine glass in annoyance.

"MOO! MOOOO!" Mu Mu exclaimed as well.

That's right, don't go with a random stranger! Be alert and learn from something that happened with your friend!

"Sit down, Mu Mu. Dennis has no way of knowing what happened to his friend." Duke Reynolds said calmly.

"Moo?" Mu Mu looked at Duke Reynolds with surprise.

"Yes, seriously. Now sit down."

"Moo…" Mu Mu sadly sat down.

The scene on the tablet then changed again and they all saw Ralph, getting sacrificed.

Before anyone could even comment on it…

"KRRRRRAAAAAA! MASSTAAA! MASSTAAAA!"

"Gosh. Stop yelling, Sky. Come back." Avelyn looked at the shouting red parrot that flew from her side, towards the tablet screen.

"Krrrrr…" Sky let out a sad noise and flew back to Avelyn's side, sitting on her shoulder.

"That's rough. Ralph didn't even get a chance to fight." Fiona said.

Avelyn, having her brows knitted, said, "There's something really wrong with their magic circle. Do you know by any chance what stuff they used?"

Fiona shook her head. "I saw it for a split second, but can't recall much."

"I know it." Duke Reynold's voice came from the side.

"Oh, you do, Rey?" Fiona asked.

Duke Reynolds nodded his head and taking out a parchment from thin air and a quill, began drawing the magic circle Miguel had made.

Once it was finished, he sent it flying towards Avelyn.

Avelyn caught it and had a look at the magic circle.

"I knew it!" Avelyn commented. "There's some work of the devil on this! Not just that… there's some strange light inscriptions on it as well. This explains why our children were caught so easily."

"That does seem to be the case." Reynolds commented. "However, if you see clearly, the ones that didn't even get to fight, they're that human girl and your demon son, Ralph."

Avelyn and Fiona knitted their brows and stared at the tablet screen.

"That… does make sense…" Avelyn commented.

"It has something to do with race, eh?" Fiona added.

"Mhm. But there's no point finding faults. We can do nothing but watch." Duke Reynolds said.

"Moooo…" Mu Mu let out a tired sigh and slowly slid down the couch.

Duke Reynolds held his collar and placed him back up in place.

"Sigh… My poor Ralph…" Avelyn was seriously annoyed.

"Mastaaa…" Sky shouted again while perched on Avelyn's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll do something about it, if the situation escalates." Avelyn reassured Sky.

"Sigh… I hope my boy doesn't do anything more stupid…" Fiona commented.

"He's already doing it." Duke Reynolds suddenly said.

On the tablet screen, everyone could see Dennis talk with the old lady in a happy manner.

"…he's not even looking at the cross pendant." Duke Reynolds added.

Fiona slapped her temples. "When is he gonna learn? It's all your fault, Rey. I told you not to let him play games so much. Now look, his intelligence has gone down the drain."

"Mooo! Mooo!" Mu Mu added. That's right! That idiot plays too many games.

Mu Mu then turned to look at Duke Reynolds and nudging his shoulder, pointed behind him, right at Sky, and said, "Moo MooooMoomOomOo moooo!"

Duke Reynolds showed some worry on his face. "He got beaten by Sky?"

"Moo!" Mu Mu nodded his head aggressively.

"Now this is concerning…" Duke Reynolds put on a pondering expression.

A second later, he turned to Fiona and said with great concern, "Our child can't be allowed to simply rely on his strength. We need to train his intelligence as soon as possible."

…..

Around a campfire, in a forest.

"…is that so?" Dennis asked the old lady.

"That's right. There are places controlled by the Devils, but thankfully, there's still the Church of Saint Selena looking after the innocent people." The old lady said in a low and slow tone.

"Church of Saint Selena?" Dennis asked, curious.

The old lady did a light nod. "The Church of Saint Selena eliminates any entity associated with darkness that nears the periphery of innocent mortals. For example, this enchanted forest is one such territory."

Dennis knitted his brows. "What do you mean…?"

"I mean to say that… kek… kek…" The old lady slowly got up from her chair and did a hollow laugh.

Dennis felt something wasn't right. He distanced himself from the lady and put up his defense.

The old lady continued to laugh and turning to look up to Dennis, said, "Kek… Kek… No creature of darkness shall exit this forest…"

The old lady's eyes shined bright golden and immediately, the silver cross pendant flew out of her neck.

Realizing something was indeed really wrong, Dennis immediately made a run for his life and said, "Fuck! No wonder they said help out of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, from a stranger, is always very fishy!"

"Kek. Kek. Kek. In the name of Saint Selena… I call upon your blessings, oh bright radiance, shower me with your grace once again…" The old lady chanted while staring at Dennis.

A golden spear immediately formed on her hands and squinting her eyes at Dennis, she grinned widely and said, "Got you, filthy creature of darkness."

BOOOM!
