Vampire's Slice Of Life - Chapter 675

Chapter 675 Inside The Gate

As Lith walked outside with Arya, the staff members were shocked to see him with their Madam.

Nevertheless, nobody cared about their surprise and Lith sat down along with Arya and discussed a few things.

It was now evident that making Scelestus buy so much blood meant he was looting his own wife. He didn’t want to do it. But he also couldn’t keep the blood with him and needed to sell it somewhere.

For that, he gave all of it to his wife and asked her to sell it on his behalf.

Arya agreed and with this, Lith managed to clear one of his goals of making money and could now rest easy.

He chatted with Arya for a bit and parted ways with her shortly afterwards.

Lith went back to Alea, who was residing in the same building, just a few ten floors down and met her again.

Alea complained how Lith took a lot of time but after giving her a few kisses, she was subdued.

Two days passed.

Without any problems, Lith, Alea, Ralph, and Dennis, took the teleportation circles and reached the island in the middle of the Zeehoven Ocean.

As soon as they stepped there, mighty portals of black, blue, and gray colors were hovering in the sky like doomsday vortexes.

It was a sight to behold and fascinated the four.

The same was the case with the many adventurers who were here on these islands.

As of now, the island was filled with people and there were even food, armour, weapons, and many such stalls for the people’s convenience.

To go inside the vortex was simple. All one had to do was charge at it and they would be sucked inside.

Lith and his friends looked at Alea for directions and she nodded and took them towards the vortex.

As they were moving forwards, far away from them, on the opposite side of the world…

“He has moved.”

An old man appearing half like a beggar and half like a wise fortune-teller said softly looking in the direction of Lith.

He had a flag in his hand that had the words ‘Destiny’ printed on them by his side, something which he had never let go in eons.

The old man switched his gaze from Lith and turned into the direction of Nightingale.

His gaze was intense and narrowing his eyes, he said, “Are you going to let him walk into that… Lilith?”

*

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Lilith was in the courtyard, going through documents related to Lucy and checking up on the administration related to the society and the continent.

She soon felt a gaze on her and heard a voice in the following second.

Lilith turned to look in the direction of the old man and with a neutral look on her face, said calmly,

“This doesn’t concern you.”

“He could die.” The voice was heard again.

“He won’t.”

“How are you so sure?”

“Because…”

Lilith’s aura spread out and the old man could feel it despite being so far from her.

“…I am God.”

*

The old man clicked his tongue as far away from Nightingale and broke contact with Lilith.

He took his destiny flag and started walking again while looking in the direction of Lith.

The old man’s gaze then turned serious and he spoke, “I do not understand the anomaly that you are, but I hope you aren’t destined to die… at least in this trial.”

*

Middle of Zeehoven Ocean.

Alea took Lith and his friends to the place just below the darkest and mightiest vortex of all.

These vortexes were the gates to an unknown dimension and they had only just opened up and weren’t fully explored.

When asked why Alea wanted to go into the dark vortex, she said she didn’t know and it was just a feeling.

Lith and his friends didn’t ask her much anymore and everyone levitated to go inside the trial.

As soon as the four reached the top, they all felt a strong pull and before they knew it, all four were swallowed by four different vortexes, with Lith being taken into the mightiest one.

It was dark.

It was silent.

It felt as if Lith had died again and was in the pre-reincarnation stage.

Usually, it would feel peaceful but this time there was chaos.

Lith didn’t know what, but he was feeling really uneasy. It was as if his instincts were screaming that there lay danger around.

Lith could feel his body, he could feel the surge of elemental energies within his veins and his spiritual power, he had his core intact and believed that he just was in some place dark and nothing else.

Lith soon felt the ground. As he walked forwards, splashes of water could be heard indicating he was probably walking on some surface covered in water.

One step… Two steps… Three steps…

Lith slowly walked forwards.

At his 666th step, Lith heard a blood-curdling scream, loud enough for a mortal to die just from the shrill tone of it.

The surroundings soon cleared up and Lith felt goosebumps all over his body as he looked at the scene.

All around him there were corpses… but they didn’t have a deathly pale color to them.

The killed corpses looked healthy and it was evident that some massacre had happened not long ago.

The ceiling, the walls, the ground, it was all made up of corpses and Lith was in some sick monster’s chamber for sure.

The ground surface that he thought was covered with water was actually covered in a lake of blood.

Even though he was a vampire and used to such grotesque stuff, he was still disgusted to see such a scene.

The only benefit that he got from being a vampire here was that he wasn’t disgusted and vomited the moment he saw this place.

Walking forwards, the corpses soon started piling up.

A few more minutes of walking and Lith found a mountain of corpses and above it was…

“Welcome, I’ve been waiting.” A lean yet muscular figure with four arms and tattoos all over his body said with a cold smile.

He wore a Yukata with the top part hanging down, showing his arms and chiseled body.

“You are?” Lith asked, unfazed by the scary aura the guy was letting out.

“The guardian.” The man’s cold voice rang in Lith’s ears. “I guard the gates of this dimension.”

Lith looked around trying to see if there was any gate.

“There’s no point looking around. It will only appear if you kill me.” The man said with the same cold smile.

“Alright.” Lith said and stretched his neck. “Let’s get this done quickly then.”

“You sure are cocky, brat.” The man said while getting up.

He spread his arms around and said, “look around you, these are all the people that dared to enter and make it past me. It has been years since people have been trying and until now…”

The man smiled widely and…

BOOM!

He appeared right in front of Lith, his body being ten feet tall and looking down, continued, “…not even one has made it past me.”

BOOM!

He sent a powerful strike at Lith without waiting for him to respond, but Lith jumped before the punch hit him.

At this point, another punch came towards him, all thanks to this guy’s four arms, and since he was in mid-air, dodging was difficult.

However,Lith still strengthened his body and cast Short Jump, trying to teleport away.

But it wasn’t too far and the man immediately closed in on him and sent a punch straight to his sides, sending Lith flying and smashing onto the human wall.

The punch was powerful and the impact broke Lith’s bones.

But he immediately cast a Life spell and healing himself, repeatedly cast Short Jump to teleport away from the monster.

What rank that monster was in Lith didn’t know. But one thing was for sure,

‘I can beat it,’

Lith’s eyes were determined despite taking the heavy blow.

It took a few seconds for him to heal but once he was done, he used Space magic again and made many short teleportations all around the man.

Looking at Lith zap in and out of existence, the man hit the ground with both his fist and the lying corpses floated in the air.

The man made a wall out of them and surrounded Lith, slowly bringing him closer to himself.

“Stupid tricks, brat. No amount of movement is going to help you here.” The man said and rushed towards Lith.

“You think I can be confined?” Lith stopped teleporting and asked in a calm manner.

“I don’t think, I am fully sure.” The man dashed at Lith at supersonic speeds.

Lith looked at him calmly and…

BURST!

With one punch, the corpses burst at his sides and a hole in the corpse wall was formed.

Lith teleported out of there and the monster was dumbfounded for a second.

“Impossible.”
