Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 303 Suppression

Hearing the Sect Master, everyone fell quiet with the host being no exception as well.

Sect Master Ling descended down on the stage and held Alexandraʼs hand. She cast a barrier around them which blocked vision and sound both.

Looking at the pretty Alexandra in front of her, she said, ”you arenʼt satisfied with the matches, right?”

Alexandra shook her head. ”All the matches were boring, Sect Master.”

Ling sighed and said, ”how many times have I asked you to not call me Sect Master in private, Alexandra. Treat me as a big sister like I asked you to, please?”

Alexandra nodded and said, ”I forgot. Sorry.”

Ling smiled and ruffling Alexandraʼs hair, she said:

”Itʼs fine. Also, I can tell that all the matches disappointed you yet again.”

Alexandra nodded.

Ling continued, ”so I have some news for you. Do you want to have a match with someone with the same potential and similar prowess as you?”

Alexandraʼs eyes lit up as she heard that. Same prowess, same potential she said?

”Yes! Where is the person?” Alexandra looked around in excitement as she heard that. There was nothing that could make her happier than battling and beating up someone.

Ling patted her shoulder and said, ”calm down. Hear me out first.”

Alexandra became quiet hearing that and looked at Ling, waiting for her to continue.

Ling cleared her throat and asked, ”will you be okay if some outsider joined the tournament now and battled you directly for the first prize?”

Alexandra shrugged and said, ” I hardly care about the prize. I just want to battle someone strong whoʼs close to my age.”

Ling smiled. Thatʼs what she wanted to hear. ”Good then. Get ready, someone is going to fight with you for the first prize.”

Alexandra nodded. Letʼs see who this outsider was and how he would fare off against her.

Ling dispelled the barrier and walked towards the host to say something to him. She then flew back to her seat and looked back at the arena ground.

The host, after noticing that Ling was back in her seat, looked at the spectators and said cheerfully,

”Members of the Shadow River Sect, I just got some interesting news. Do you want to hear it?”

”Yesssss!”

”DO YOU WANT TO HEARRRR ITTT!!?”

”YEEEEEESSSSSSSS!”

”BEHOLD! WE HAVE A WILD CARD FINALIST THIS YEAR!!!”

”WHAT!?”

”HAHAHAHAHA! GIVE IT UP FORRRRR RAAAAYYYYYYYYY!”

”WOOOOOOO!”

The host and the crowd both went wild with their cheers and welcomed Lith onto the stage.

Alexandra was curious knowing who her opponent was and what the sect master said made her uplifted her hopes in finding a good opponent.

The host took his exit and on the ground there was only the referee and Alexandra.

Alexandra looked at the entrance of the arena and waited to see who it was.

Soon, she saw…

ʼA boy? He looks as if heʼs just become an adolescent.ʼ Alexandra thought to herself as she looked at Lith.

Lith wore a simple white shirt, black trousers and shoes. His shirt wasnʼt tucked in and his shoulder length silver hair was tied into a bun. His overall appearance looked rough but due to his looks, he seemed very pretty to everyone present.

Alexandra started having doubts about this. She was going to fight a pretty boy? He seemed as if he was very pampered and couldnʼt even kill a pig.

Lith noticed the beautiful Alexandra standing and the referee beside her. He could tell that both were analyzing him.

But he ignored that and stretching his neck and body, he touched the barrier in front of him and entered inside the arena ground.

BADUMP! BADUMP! BADUMP!

Alexandraʼs heart started racing wildly, she started sweating profusely, and felt a chill down her spine.

All her hair stood on their ends as she felt goosebumps all over.

ʼWh-what!? What is happening!?ʼ She cried out in her mind.

ʼThis suppression… What is with this suppression!? Why do I feel as if I am suffocating?ʼ

Alexandraʼs heart was beating so fast right now that it resounded in her ears and overcame any other sound in the area.

Due to the suppression she felt, she was distracted and her gaze had shifted. But now to see what was wrong, she started looking around and her gaze finally fell on Lith again.

Just as she looked at Lith, she felt a serious chill down her spine and felt alarmed.

The pretty boy from before now appeared like a divine being who must never be looked at.

Fear!

Alexandra felt fear for the first time in her whole 21 years of living. Just who was he that could make her feel such suppression? She wondered.

But, Alexandra wasnʼt someone who would break despite knowing there was someone much stronger than her in front of her. So what if Lith appeared like a god? So what if he could suppress her to this degree?

To Alexandra, this felt more amazing than ever. She felt a lot happy feeling this suppression. Finally! Just finally there was someone who could pose a threat to her. Someone who could threaten her whole existence.

Sure there may be beings stronger than her. She was just a Rank 8 and there were a lot of ranks above her. But what mattered to her was the age. If someone was a hundred thousand years old and just a Saint Rank, she wouldnʼt give two flying fucks about it.

If she were to get killed by such a person while she was still 21, she would just curse her fate for coming across such a person.

Alexandra was young and had a lot of potential. It would be a huge pity to get killed before even reaching her full potential.

But those things aside, despite the fear she was feeling currently, she was really happy to have found someone of similar age to fight her.

Alexandra was really looking forward to fighting Lith.

Lith was well aware of how Alexandra was feeling. He knew how much his bloodline suppressed the other vampires and he was also taught how to control his aura and seal it by Lilith.

When he roams everywhere around the world, he always ensures to seal his aura so that he doesnʼt accidentally suppress anyone around him and reveal his identity. But now that he entered the barrier, he took the seal off and that caused the vampire in front of him, Alexandra, to get suppressed.

Lith knew that the person in front of was an elite Rank 8. His prowess wouldnʼt allow him to fight someone of such a high rank and he was sure to get killed if he ever tried.

Currently his prowess only allowed him to fight against a Rank 7 and even then, there was only a 50% chance of him winning. To increase his chance, he would need to use artifacts.

But right now however, he was up against a vampire. Things were much simpler for him. His bloodline would act as a limiter for Alexandra and suppress her to be a Rank 7. This would allow Lith to use all of his potential to fight her and he also wouldnʼt need an artifact to fight.

There was a 50% chance of him winning and he would try his best to not make any mistakes and win.

Lith, for his whole life, didnʼt have anyone of similar age who had the same prowess as him. He could relate with Alexandra and since the two shared similar emotions, he decided to give it his all to make her as well as himself happy and content with their fight.

Lith walked in front of Alexandra and stopped. He looked at her and extended his hand with a smile on his face.

”Ray.” He introduced himself.

Alexandra extended her hand for a handshake and holding Lithʼs hand, she said in a neutral tone,

”Alexandra.”

”Okay, back away you two. Get into position now.” The referee intervened after they were done introducing themselves and said.

Lith and Alexandra nodded and they both got into their positions.

Lith just moved a few meters away from the center of the arena and Alexandra had moved almost to the edge of the arena.

But noticing him be present in the middle confidently, she changed positions again and got back towards the center. Just like Lith, she also stood just a few meters away from the center now.

The referee looked at the two and noticing they were in their positions, he said:

”On my count of 3.”

”3… 2… 1…”

”FIGHT!”
