Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 856 Unknown Help

”Lord, thereʼs something different happening with one of the soul strands you have sent out.”

The figureʼs calm eyes slowly focused on the woman, letting her know that he was listening.

The lady continued, ”The soul strand seems to be on the verge of dying and is surrounded by a bunch of youngsters with potential Iʼve never seen before. You should check it.”

The figure didnʼt respond, but his left eyed shined with a green hue and soon, the scene of the Chosen Ones came into his view.

Silence ensued in the room as the figure and the lady watched the same thing together, taking this matter really seriously.

Meanwhile…

Back in the realm where Lith and his gang were fighting, the green-haired child that was resting atop a pile of corpses suddenly felt a chill down his spine and jolted awake.

The kid immediately turned to the source of the chill, which was the big monster fighting the six kids.

Looking into the monsterʼs eyes, the kid frowned.

The monsterʼs eyes that were pitch black changed into a shade of green and noticing this, the kidʼs expression turned even more grave.

”Baat! This asshole will kill everybody including me!” The kid yelled in his immature voice.

Jumping down from the pile of corpses, the kid seriously stared at the monster and shook his hands to warm himself up, as if he was about to do some sort of exercise.

The green-haired kid then pictured a bow and arrow in his hands and pulled the string of the imaginary bow, making red flames erupt out of nowhere and take the shape of the imaginary bow and arrow.

The kidʼs green eyes glowed and turned dark red and the flames matched the color of those.

”Reiki, fifty-fourth movement.”

With a lightning fast speed, the arrow of flames shot away from the kid and went straight towards the monster.

The kid felt his head spin as the arrow left and the bow disappeared. His body staggered and he fell down on his butt, feeling a sting and letting out a frustrated grunt.

”Baat! Baat! That—baat!—wizard!” The kid cursed while beating the ground in front of him.

Meanwhile, the lightning fast arrow the kid had just sent out…

BOOOOOOM!

The head of the monster exploded as the arrow touched it and the monster vanished from existence.

The Chosen Ones were surprised to see such a thing happen out of nowhere while in the realm far away…

”Ackk!” The lady in the presence of the mighty figure held her face and grunted.

Blood trickled down her eyes as she held her face and being greatly surprised, asked, ”What just happened?”

The mighty figure, whose eyes had now returned back to their pitch black color, looked at the lady with interest while a strange shine appeared in his eyes.

The lady wiped the blood off her face and said with her brows knitted, ”There was a powerhouse? They found us spying?”

The mighty figure shifted his eyes down at the lady and lightly shook his head.

The lady clicked her tongue and then said, ”If they found us, do they know who we are?”

The figure shook his head again.

”Amusing.” The lady replied calmly. ”Someone of the calibre to find Lord spying in a realm as low as that… How amusing. I must look into it.”

The mighty figureʼs calm eyes then shined with interest once again.

The lady nodded her head. ”Right, Iʼll keep a check on those kids as well.”

The mighty figure nodded lightly and then, for the first time in a while, said, ”Variables.”

The lady stopped in her tracks as she heard that and trembled, feeling really shocked by the sudden comment.

The lady immediately turned around and replied, ”Are you kidding me? Theyʼve finally appeared!?”

The figure nodded his head lightly once again.

”Haah! Who wouldʼve thought…” The lady, still shocked, rubbed her temples and said with a tired sigh. ”Everything was going smoothly for so long and right when… Argh… Nevermind. I must hurry then.”

The mighty figure nodded in affirmation and the lady finally left the hall.

…..

”What just happened?”

Back on the battlefield, while staring at the dead monster, Sebastian asked everyone else.

Lith shrugged in response as he didnʼt know what just happened while Iki stayed quiet, Anne ignored the question, and Tsuki went into deep thinking as if some answer would magically come to her while Ariel replied with:

”Maybe an internal trigger?”

Nobody saw anything other than the head of the monster suddenly explode. How and what caused it was unknown and the only plausible answer that Ariel could come up with was that it was something related to the monster itself.

The six discussed this topic for a few minutes and coming to no conclusion, left it and jumped onto another conversation.

Lith used Earth element and made flat rocks protrude out, getting everybody a chair to sit on.

He then looked at Ariel and asked, ”The emergency call… What did you mean by that?”

The way Ariel had summoned everybody was strange. She meant that everyoneʼs life was in danger and they could die any minute, but that seemed too far-fetched and Lith needed answers to that.

What was Ariel thinking when she said that? What were the reasons and so on.

Ariel looked at Lith calmly and said seriously, ”If Iʼm not wrong… After Novolzakʼs trial, our fate seemed to have gotten connected. Due to this…”

Everybody listened intently to what Ariel said, including Anne and Iki, who usually werenʼt interested in socializing.

What Ariel was stating to everybody was that from the day they met in the trial, they had been brought together for some unknown future goal.

Something or someone wanted them together, there was a purpose to it, and the trial was probably a means for them to get along well.

The artifacts they now possessed and with how easily they could come to each other due to it… It was far too fishy and something that couldnʼt be ignored.

The five nodded their heads in affirmation as they had thought of it as well.

Ariel explained a lot of coincidences from the past which werenʼt really coincidences but purposefully done due to a hidden motive.

Add to that, everyoneʼs ascension in the Astral World… That was so flashy and sudden. It shouldnʼt have happened in the first place, but it ended up happening.

Lith was amazed by Arielʼs comprehension ability and problem solving skills. He wouldnʼt lie, she was slightly better than him in this aspect and her whole perspective was really different from his, making him be really interested in her.

Ariel explained many things to everyone as there was no point hiding them. Finally, coming towards the end, Arielʼs expression turned solemn and she said with much seriousness,

”Thereʼs a problem. Among the six of us… No one should die and on the off chance that if it does happen…”

Ariel took a dramatic pause, making everyoneʼs heart itch with curiosity, and then continued,

”…On the off chance If someone ends up dying anyhow… Then we all will die as well.”

”WHAT!?”
