Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 706  The Shining Star

Chapter 706  The Shining Star

Listening to the rabbit-man's words, the entire six frowned.

"What? Are you not happy to see me? Kekekeke!" Mr. Carrot said and started gnawing on some carrots.

n.o.body showed any reactions to hisquestion.

Mr. Carrot smiled and continued, "all the past trials were eliminations round, yet none of you failed anything. It really p.i.s.ses me off."

He then shook his head. "But what p.i.s.ses me off more is the fact that I can't personally kill you or drag these rounds."

"The next three rounds will be the most difficult ones and if you pa.s.s them, you're free to go."

The six sighed internally hearing that. No more stupid trials were a good thing for them.

"But…"

'There he goes, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d…' Everyone had a similar thought.

Mr. Carrot cackled. "There's a catch, as usual."

He walked towards the six and gazing up and down at them, continued, "looking at the unity you six portrayed, I am deeply touched. So, due to this, the next three trials are also the same as before — all or none!"

Lith wanted to rip apart this guy's annoying face hearing that. His life was already at risk in the previous round where he had to work the rest. Doing it three more times would definitely increase his odds of dying.

This thought was shared by the others too.

With another cackle, Mr. Carrot said, "I like that look. I like that look. Let's get started then, shall we?"

Just like that, the six were once again thrown into another trial while the rabbit-man acted like a spectator and watched over them.

The Chosen Ones.

These six that were made to go through one trial after another, they weren't any ordinary beings.

These six were the strongest of the strongest, geniuses among geniuses, talent born one in not a million, billion, or gazillion, but the entire universe they belonged to!

Out of the infinitely vast array of universes, these six kids were the ones chosen by a higher ent.i.ty.

The reason was yet to be known and the ent.i.ty was yet to surface, however, the trials that were made for them to go through, it was a rigorous testing method to check if they truly were worthy to do what the ent.i.ty wanted or not.

The trials, as mentioned by the rabbit-man, were meant to act as elimination. However, the talent these six kids possessed was heaven-defying and the ent.i.ty couldn't do anything but change the trials and formulate it in such a way that these six would band together and work in unison.

The formula worked as with each life and death situation the six went through, they became closer and got to know more about each other during the break between each trial.

Out of the three that they were supposed to clear, the first trial tested their tenacity and their will to never give up.

This trial was a survival one where the six were thrown into a mighty dungeon filled with strong monsters and traps.

Within the trial, there were many sub quests which didn't let the six rest even for a bit.

The six still somehow managed by taking turns to complete the challenges.

Whenever there was a battle, Anne Ashcroft, the necromancer in the group, would be made to fight.

She definitely had a screw loose in her head and the smell of blood as well as battle made her crazy to fight more. It awakened her primal instinct to fight and this madwoman wouldn't stop until she was dead or the monster in front was.

Needless to say, she never lost.

Not a single battle.

Her summons were extremely powerful and even during the times that she did seem to fall, the rest got up and helped her.

After each battle, she had to be carried because she would feel weak. ????????.???

Of course, she denied any help and told the rest that she could walk on her own.

Lith being Lith, he didn't let her be so helpless.

It was due to her that he got some rest and eventually went to her to carry her.

Anne was extremely p.i.s.sed when she noticed Lith come close to her to help her.

She was going to kill him, but the lady-killer with his unmatchable charisma swayed her heart, and eventually, got her to take a piggyback.

Among them, it was only Lith who could do such a thing as neither Sebastian nor Iki, Ariel, or Tsuki had the potential to help such a battle freak.

Sebastian was the first Chosen One and knew that everyone was wary of him. Anne would naturally not take any help from him.

Even though he had shown no hostility to anyone, except Lith, there was no one else who wasn't wary.

He was thus crossed out.

Iki barely talked and what was going on in his head was something n.o.body knew. Was he on their side or against them was still a question that lingered in everyone's head.

Iki might be helping out the others because he would die as well if someone died. This was what might have kept him going, the others were thinking.

He was naturally crossed out as well.

As for Ariel, her aura disgusted Anne since she gave off a pure and holy one. She was out too.

Tsuki's stature was small and she was needed for healing. If she took Anne, she wouldn't be able to heal others. She was out too.

All that was left was Lith, the one with no imperfections among the rest.

He was so well rounded in everything that it was almost scary to the five how one could be so perfect in everything.

But his easy going and straightforward approach made everyone understand that he wasn't a threat to them. If nothing, it was them who would be a threat to him.

Lith was put on such a high pedestal that he could lead the five easily if he wanted and also manipulate them into doing what he wanted.

But of course, Lith had no such plans as there was nothing he would gain by doing this.

He was someone who had everything with him and didn't need to scheme or use different tactics to gain things.

Amongst everyone, he was the only one without a tragic backstory.

The five chosen ones, the emotions they were showing, and the way they behaved, it was just the tip of the iceberg.

What they truly were, it was something that could only be found by diving into the deepest recesses of the ocean.

Their suffering, their pain, their hard work, their sacrifices…

There was nothing that these five hadn't experienced.

It was also due to this reason that Lith stood out among them.

He was a shining star that started illuminating the dark lives of these five.

Anne, who had never experienced any form of warmth, for the first time was experiencing how it felt to get carried in such a manner and get help.

Her pride was making her want to strangle Lith and get away from him, but the warmth coming from the bottom of her heart stopped her from doing so.

She could only stare dumbfoundedly at the front and let her be carried. She showed no emotions or movements and let the things flow.

Just like that, unknowingly, Lith became their unsaid leader.
