Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1153: Zen’s New Abilities

”Ucckkk—!”

Half of Royʼs body was ripped off as he took the Destruction spear head-on.

His body did not regenerate as fast as it should and was still in the midst of restoring the destroyed bones.

A red-haired woman in black robes, holding a young boy at her sides appeared before him and gazed at him with pure neutrality, as if she was looking at a worm.

Roy stood on his ground and stared at her without fighting back, blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Shi looked at the man with amusement and wondered whether the lady carrying him was strong or the man before him was weak. He also wondered why he was being carried like this, as if he wasnʼt the very embodiment of bad luck.

”Thatʼs quite bold of you to attack me in my own territory, Miss.” Roy stated.

Keith gave him a slight nod and didnʼt say anything else. She extended her hand to the side and summoned another Destruction spear.

”Tch. Wait.” Roy tried to reason. ”Why even are you attacking me?”

”Youʼre an enemy.” Keith said and dashed towards Roy, thrusting the spear straight into his head.

Roy wasnʼt taken by surprise this time and used an earthen wall to block the spear.

The wall crumbled instantly, but gave him enough time to move ten steps back.

”Seriously, why? I donʼt think youʼre from the Asuras. We arenʼt even enemies!” Roy deployed another shield and tried to attack Keith, but strangely slipped on the moss on the ground, having the attack miss.

Keith threw her spear at him, but it missed because Roy slipped.

Both were amused by the sight. Roy did not know how this could happen but Keith did. She looked at Shi, who seemed to be watching the battle curiously, and shook her head.

So this was why Fei said to take him.

In the battle between experts, even a slight advantage could tip the tides of the battle.

Shiʼs bad luck affected everyone as whole and wasnʼt targeted towards one single person.

Thus, both would be suffering if he was around. However, since Shi was so close to Keith, she was somewhat protected unlike Roy, who was out in the open to be killed.

”Listen, Miss, I do not want to indulge in a battle with you. I have important work to do, let me leave and Iʼll pretend none of this happened.” Roy tried to reason again.

Keith shook her head and appeared in front of Roy, kicking him in the head with a roundhouse kick.

The kick was swift and sent Roy flying, but Shi was somehow able to see it in slow motion and had stars in his eyes from watching how magnificent and exquisite the smooth, slender leg touched the manʼs face and sent him flying.

Rumble… Rumble…

As Roy crashed onto a cave-like structure, it caused the mountain to shake. A landslide was underway and the changing terrain was a bad sign for both parties.

Keith wasnʼt worried. She flew towards Roy and began hitting him again.

She didnʼt know whether she was supposed to kill him or stall him, so she went with the safest route — killing him.

…..

12th Pillarʼs Territory.

”Yes, Master. The young miss Jacqueline was there.” Old One bowed and said.

”She kicked us away and said sheʼll be taking over.” Old Two added.

The 12th Pillar, a burly sophisticated man, had his hands clasped behind his back and gazing in the direction of the Everlasting Sunset world.

”Hmm… if itʼs the young one, then you indeed donʼt have the authority to question her.”

”Thank you for understanding and grace, Master.” The two men said swiftly.

”It seems I would need to personally pay the young miss a visit and ask why sheʼs intervening.”

The man said and shook his head with a smile.

”Letʼs leave at once then.”

…..

The Lordʼs Castle, Everlasting Sunset World.

Lith was healed by Fei and was currently seated in the Lordʼs courtyard, having tea with the other ladies.

Being the only other man in the room, Hyunsuk got special privileges and sat right beside Lith. It wasnʼt sure whether it was his luck that was the reason for it or something else.

A bit away from them, on another table, there was Kenny, Carmilla and Gileus. A transparent square box was on the table and in it was a highly compressed mass of flesh and blood.

The eyes on the chunk of mass were moving and glancing around in horror while the ones around the table were acting as if it was a normal day for them.

As promised, Kenny did give Gileus a lot of snacks and the glutton was chowing them down as if there was no tomorrow.

Around Lithʼs table, Jacqueline sat as well. She felt somewhat uncomfortable with Lith in here because he gave off the same aura as the scary lady from Nightingale, aka Lilith.

For some reason, Lithʼs bloodline seemed similar, but when she felt it for some more time, she realized that no, it wasnʼt the case. His bloodline was way superior than whatever she herself had.

Despite being a Legendary Rank, she felt pressure from him and stayed silent, wondering what even was up with everyone coming together in this place.

Seated beside Fei, Lith was briefed on what had transpired that made the ladies rush to this place.

Feiʼs Timebound Seer bloodline along with her blood connection with Lith gave her visions of the possible future where Lith was harmed. She thus rushed without thinking twice and upon reaching this place, saw that he was taken to a completely separate dimension which even Space Path experts couldnʼt access.

Being a Yellow Phantom, she could phase in and out of the material world at her will. Lith thought that it was the astral realm, but no, it was a completely different reality altogether.

Lith was able to feel the wraiths and see them because he had drank a bit of Feiʼs blood before. Without being a Yellow Phantom, he enjoyed the traits of a Yellow Phantom.

Other than that, Arya seemed to have comprehended something and was undergoing ascension. Where her ascension was happening was unknown, but Fei said that she should be back in a few years.

This one incident had taught Lith a lot of things and made him understand his own shortcomings. There was a lot he had to learn and prepare for before actually fighting with the Evure God Clan.

The clan wasnʼt Shen Zeʼs number one for show. They had means that others didnʼt.

Also, while talking, Lith learnt that the ladies had arrived here via a portal opened by Zen. This made him turn to look at his beautiful witch maid and ask, ”He can summon portals to any coordinates? Wasnʼt it something like…”

If there was a summoning happening somewhere, Zen could divert it to the place he was at. It was not related to portals but summons. Both were quite different.

Sylvia rubbed the black puppyʼs head on her lap and said calmly, ”He can still do that. But he has also learnt to open portals to any coordinates he desires. I was shocked too when I learnt he could do this.”

”How did it happen? How did you teach him to do that?”

”It happened during this one time when…”
