Vampire's Slice Of Life

Senzal Clan, Redstone City.

Lith stood in midair above the battlefield and was watching everyone fight. He had an invisible barrier around him and that made people below Half Emperor Rank unable to see him.

He had learnt from his past mistake and now he was lying low and looking for the person who may have taken him out.

There was an intense battle going on below and Lithʼs squad, consisting of nine people apart from him were trying their best to fight the army of the Senzal Clan.

CLANG!

”RALPH! THERE ARE MORE COMING!” Dennis suddenly shouted while blocking the swords of three guys in front of him.

Ralph was a few meters away from him and was surrounded by four people. He simultaneously attacked his foes while defending himself from their counter strikes.

The ones who were fighting Ralph and Dennis were all in the Rank 8. Although these two were the worldʼs strongest Rank 8s currently, they were starting to fall into disadvantage while fighting the many people here.

Despite being the strongest, they were inexperienced in the matters of war. They would train till they were exhausted in their respective family and clan but they had never faced life threatening situations.

Ralphʼs mother loved and cared about him a lot and so she wasnʼt too harsh regarding his training despite being a demon. Demon parents usually were very cruel to their children when training with just a few being exceptions, among which one was Avelyn.

As for Dennis, his parents loved him as well. He also had not experienced any situations where he faced a real threat of death.

Ralph and Dennis thus began to lose their composure as the situation turned more and more disadvantageous for them. Yet, they were able to hold their ground.

Ralph cast a barrier imbued with fire and destruction elements around him. He found some time to catch a breather as the barrier protected him from the attacks. He heard Dennis shout and he knew that he had to do something or the situation would take a turn for the worse.

ʼJust where is Lith?ʼ This was the first question that came to his mind as he thought of a plan.

Lith should be here to help them but he was nowhere to be seen. Previously the situation wasnʼt too bad and it was manageable but now it was different.

The situation had escalated and if they didnʼt get his help or did something to change their condition, they were sure to die here.

Ralph quickly shoved aside this thought and tried to think of something else. If help did not arrive, then they would try their best to do the most damage and escape during the chaos they caused.

Quickly coming up with something, Ralph decided it was best to go all out and retreat.

The war was escalating and there were powerful people coming in constantly. They had to avoid getting into contact with them at any cost or they were surely dead.

After Ralph finished formulating the plan, he removed the barrier around him and got back to fighting the people.

The plan was made and he had to convey it to others. However, he couldnʼt just shout it out loud. If their enemy became aware of their plan, things would become troublesome.

Ralph smartly blocked and attacked the four guys in such a manner that he went closer to Dennis with each hit. It only took him a few moments to reach Dennis and as he did, he immediately whispered in Dennisʼs ear the plan.

Ralph used Wind elemental energy and as everyone here were Rank 8s and Ralph was the strongest among them, they werenʼt able to track it and Ralphʼs message ended up in the ears of Dennis.

Dennis, who was in the middle of the fight turned to look at Ralph and nodded his head in a serious manner.

Ralph nodded back and using the same strategy, he told the plan to the remaining people.

A few minutes later, Lithʼs squad was on their way to retreat. They couldnʼt do any more damage as the situation was unfavorable to them.

Slowly and surely, they fended off the Senzal Clan armyʼs attack and were finally on their way to retreat.

Lithʼs squad ended up getting out of the main area in half an hour and as they were finally free, they were about to retreat in full speed and get back to the Shadow River Sect.

However, right at this moment…

BOOM!

An explosion occurred right in front of them and a lot of smoke and dust arose from the ground.

Ralph and Dennis were on high alert and so were the other disciples. After the dust cleared up, the scene before Ralph and Dennis immediately put a frown on their faces.

In front of the two, there were around two hundred people, all equipped with armor and weapons. Judging from the demeanor, clothes, and insignia on them, they definitely didnʼt look like the allies of the Shadow River Sect.

These two hundred people all had pointy ears and the majority of them were thin and equipped with bows and arrows. They definitely seemed like Elves to Ralph and Dennis and the two guys in front who had a slightly muscular figure were probably the leaders of these people.

”Halt.” A slightly short guy with a sword in his hand said. He was Xander, the vice commander of the Scalanis familyʼs army.

”We are here to help the Senzal Clan and we wonʼt let any enemy of theirs leave alive.” Xander said in a neutral tone and threatened.

At this moment, Dennis chimed in, ”Oh but, we arenʼt enemies.”

”Hmm?” Ralph and the other disciples turned to look at Dennis.

They all thought, ʼAt least say lies that may seem believable.ʼ

Xander obviously didnʼt buy it. He said, ”You are the enemy and you wonʼt leave alive from here on.”

”No, weʼre not. Trust me.” Dennis kept his word and repeated.

Dennis was damn sure that Xander was bullshitting. There was no way he had any idea about who the allies and enemies were of the Senzal Clan.

What Dennis was thinking was right. Xander indeed had no idea. He decided to take a step back from jumping to conclusions and asked Dennis,

”If youʼre not an enemy, prove it to me.”

After the slap from the beauty Qianyu, Xander had become cautious. He knew he shouldnʼt always be brash or it would be him that would suffer in the end.

Zelph, who was right beside Xander, was slightly amused by this attitude of his. Even the troops behind him tried to suppress their smiles. Since when did their vice commander become so diplomatic and understanding?

Dennis knew this question was coming to him. Though despite knowing it, he really had no excuse to give or provide anything that may prove that they werenʼt the ones participating.

Dennis was definitely smart and knew how to handle situations well. But he refused to make his brain work and always chose his strength over intelligence. It was a bad thing, but it was who he was.

Even his parents were tired of such behavior from him. They knew they had a prodigy for a son. But they also lamented the fact that this prodigy only developed his brawn and not his brain.

Intelligence mattered so much everywhere. Be it politics or warfare. Being from a Duke Clan, Dennisʼs parents hoped that he would use his intelligence and do good in politics. It was a much more important thing for them than strength.

But things donʼt always go your way and the same was with Dennisʼs parents. They eventually gave up and let Dennis choose his own path.

The result was the current Dennis who was struggling to come up with a lie or answer to Xanderʼs question.

Ralph noticed Dennis being unable to come with an answer. He nudged Dennis by his elbow and whispered some things in his ear.

Dennis suddenly got enlightened and he started laughing loudly.

”HAHAHAHAHA! YOUʼRE ASKING PROOF? HAHAHAHA! IN SUCH A SITUATION? HAHAHAHA!”

Hearing such statements from Dennis, the elves were confused as well as surprised. What kind of a reaction was this?

Xander couldnʼt help but ask, ”why are you laughing?”

Dennis laughed even louder as he heard that and said,

”HAHAHAHA! BECAUSE YOUʼRE TOO STUPID! HAHAHAHAHA!”

”What!?”
