Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 454 Tribulation (2/3)

Chapter 454 Tribulation (2/3)

The three eagles chasing after Lith, the blue sand eagles, were a species of creatures living in the blue sandy deserts.

These deserts had a blue color due to the rich mineral deposits in them along with the fact that just beneath the sand, there was some or the other form of water body present.

Vast sandy desert were spread over the oceans and had the blue color to them. The eagles traveled from one place to another by using s.p.a.ce elemental energy that was abundant in these places and found their prey and mate.

Hence the name blue sand eagles.

Lith had no idea about them as they weren't present in his world and as this was the gray Astral World that was spread everywhere, the eagles were summoned for the tribulation.

He also wouldn't have any idea about these eagles even if they were from his world as these eagles appeared gray and not like their original colors.

Escaping from these eagles was troublesome as they were proficient in s.p.a.ce as well.

Lith could only brace himself after a while and prepare for a head-on attack. That was the only way to defeat these eagles.

Lith extended his hand and gathered Destruction elemental energy in there. Magenta, red, and black colors appeared in his hand and soon a black sword with a mix of red and magenta colored hilt was manifested.

This was made from the colors of the Destruction energy and Lith took an attacking stance and was ready to attack the eagles.

The blue sand eagle screeched and charged towards Lith with apparent killing intent. It pointed its sharp claws in Lith's direction and just as it was about to rip Lith's body apart;

Lith used s.p.a.ce elemental energy and glided through the s.p.a.ce in front.

His sword cut the eagle from its head to its back into two equal halfs, eventually killing it.

The two halves fell down and other two eagles, despite noticing it, continued to charge towards Lith.

Lith's palms were bleeding as he held his elemental energy sword and his hands went numb.

His attack might've appeared smooth on the outside but only Lith knew how tough the body of the eagle was.

It felt as if Lith was. .h.i.tting an iron shield with a steel stick.

Lith used his spiritual power and castes life spells on his hands to heal himself.

He was in urgent need of it.

The eagles obviously wouldn't wait for Lith to finish and the same was the case with the bugs.

The bugs, also called the Ovarian Parasites are present in rainforest regions rich with beasts and elemental energies. They breed in ovaries of female beasts and die there.

The eggs present in the ovaries get developed by having nourishment from the beasts and once the bugs get hatched, they feed on the flesh of the beasts they are in as well as the elemental energies from the surroundings.

In one batch, around a thousand bugs grow up and they eat a beast inside out within a matter of a few days and leave.

? These bugs are notorious for causing great harm to all creatures and are usually on the hunt list by all people.

Many have tried to make them go extinct but by some or the other reasons, they end up living and have survived the harshest of times.

The only way to kill these bugs was to send an attack with such intensity that the bugs would be unable to suck the elemental energy from it and explode.

Lith did the right thing by sending Blazing Fury. He also was correct in a.s.sessing the situation with the blue sand eagles.

His years of training with his sister and mother along with a.s.sa.s.sinations had made him have good judgement.

Lith flew around with his wings extended and went in a killing spree. It was tiring but he had to do it.

Meanwhile his core had formed by almost fifty percent.

There was a transparent crystal near Lith's abdomen and around it were twelve small crystals of different colors.

It was a brand new core and the process of completion was slightly slowed due to Lith using his spiritual power to focus on fighting the tribulation and also the energies from his body.

The elemental energies was falling short for the cores to form and things were a bit troublesome.

Lith couldn't help it.

If he focused on his core and gathered elemental energies, he would be killed by these bugs and eagles.

Lith was hundred percent sure that once these bugs stick to him, it was game over.

Lith focused on ending this tribulation instead of the formation of his core.

He charged towards the two eagles and tried his best to kill them.

As soon as he killed one eagle, his hand became numb again and it bled more profusely than before.

The other eagle didn't give Lith a chance to relax or heal himself and charged towards him.

Lith had no choice but to pick up his sword and hit the eagle.

The eagle dashed towards Lith and Lith dashed towards it, eventually piercing its body with his sword and killing it with all his might.

Lith's both hands burst due to the strain from the double attack on the eagles.

Lith felt some pain, but having high tolerance, he endured it without a problem.

Having the eagles defeated, Lith now had some time to relax.

He flapped his wings and escaped from the bugs while trying to relax and heal himself.

His hands were his priority now and they had to be healed quickly or he'll suffer.

He was a vampire with good regenerative abilities, but because he was in the Astral World without his material body, he had to use elemental energies to heal himself and his body didn't have the innate regeneration like usual.

Soon, Lith's body was healed and he was back to casting Blazing Fury on the ovarian parasites.

A few breaths of time later, only one-fourth of the bugs were remaining.

Lith was relaxed slightly now but before he could rejoice, five flying beasts appeared out of the vortex and let out an ear piercing screech.

This shrill cry of the creatures made blood to ooze out of Lith's ears and his hearing to go numb.

Lith turned to look towards the source of sound he heard previously and was shocked.

He was shocked not because his ears were bleeding and he went slightly deaf, but because of the flying creatures in front.

The five flying creatures looked like bats but had a large wingspan along with a head like a crane but an extra large beak.

Lith knew exactly what they were.

They were the extinct ancient species of blood bats. More correctly, extinct native species of Nightingale.

These blood bats could will the blood inside a person to their desire and could even kill him if they wanted. These bats were so powerful in the aspects of blood, they could even control a person from afar.

They were also intelligent beasts and the higher the grade of them, the stronger and more proficient were they in aspects related to blood.

People hunted these beasts to cultivate blood arts and they also caused lot of harm to the vampires when they were present.

The bats went extinct long ago and the ones that did manage to survive, they were killed by the previous Vampire King and there was no existence of them in this world anymore.

Lith was greatly shocked to find a few and that too in his tribulation. These bats were very strong and he had to be really wary of them.

They could control him and could even make his body burst if they so wanted.

One trouble was gone and another appeared. Lith just wondered whom did he offend to get such badluck today.

He cast a dark spell equipped barrier around him and ran from the blood bats before they tried to control him.

Lith's core was now greatly slowed and it would take a lot of time to form.

Lith couldn't help it and he prepared himself to fight agains the blood bats.

The blood bats screeched again and charged towards Lith and so did the bugs.

Lith could only click his tongue in annoyance and prepare to attack these creatures.

At one side was his core formation at another side were these creatures. If he focused on his core formation, the creatures would kill him, but if he focused fully on killing these creatures and his core wasn't formed before his spiritual power ran out, he would be crippled for life.

Lith was now stuck in a rock and a hard place with no way out.

Still, he was calm and breathing out, he prepared himself for the upcoming onslaught.
