Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 989 Lith And Luna Attacked

Chapter 989 Lith And Luna Attacked

In a dark chamber.

Sounds of digging finally stopped as the wall shattered. Four humanoid pitch-black creatures stopped clawing their dagger-like limbs and stood still in the chamber.

There was no light, but they could clearly see everything.

"It's this place." A coa.r.s.e voice, sounding as if someone was grinding sandpaper on sandpaper, said.

"I can feel the faint negative energy already." Another coa.r.s.e voice stated.

"Soothing. Very soothing. We must acquire the complete source quickly!" The third humanoid creature said.

"It is coming from the rocks there…" The fourth humanoid creature said. He walked up to the rocks and in the middle of the chamber and squatted down to hold them. "No… that's not right."

"What is it, Ubelquwon?" A coa.r.s.e voice asked.

"Wait a second. I can feel something here." The fourth person held the rock to his ears and said. "Ah… I got it!"

The man hopped from one place to another and gathered all the similar rocks present in the chamber.

"These have different yet fixed vibrations! I can feel the pattern in them!" The voice of the fourth man was coa.r.s.e too, but sounded a bit excited.

Soon, he arranged the rocks in a hexagram shape and stood aside. The rest of the humanoid figures joined him.

The rocks on the ground began shaking and after a few breaths of time, they shined brightly and lit up the dark chamber.

A swirling mist appeared out from the middle of the hexagram shape and formed a gray gate.

The humanoid figures could feel the negative energy in greater quant.i.ties coming from the gate. Their red eyes sparkled with excitement and without hesitation, they dived right into the gate.

…..

Neutral Continent.

Along with Luna, Lith finished sorting out the mess regarding children in Lenz City and was now on his way to Uklov to do the same.

Teleportation could easily take them there, but Lith was surveying the border areas to not miss out on small villages that may be in need of help.

His and Luna's flying speed was fast. Now that Lith was a King Rank, he could fly at a much faster pace.

They were flying close to ground level so as to not miss out on anything. While they were halfway close to Uklov, Lith stopped as he came across a strange village.

The huts were made of hay and mud in this area and bullock carts were a common thing for transportation.

What was strange about this village that made Lith stop was a well in the middle of it letting out an ominous aura.

"Your Highness, look." Luna called out and pointed in a certain direction.

Looking there, Lith saw a few people coughing as they walked. Their hair was visibly turning gray and they were aging rapidly as their vitality was being sucked out.

Lith frowned, but soon, he heard a gurgle coming from the well. The vitality of the aging people flowed towards the well and disappeared.

Lith soon felt a turmoil in his own body and frowned harder. "That well… it's sucking even my vitality?"

"Not just yours, I can feel a change in mine too." Luna replied.

This was a concerning matter.

Lith walked towards the well to check what the problem was. There seemed to be nothing. It was an ordinary well.

'That can't be it.' Lith thought. He turned to Luna and asked, "You can't sense anything?"

Luna shook her head. "Maybe if I check with my spiritual sense, I can find something?"

Lith nodded. "Do that then."

Luna nodded and spread her spiritual sense. The moment she did that, something within the well lit up.

The gurgling sound intensified and a bright light shot out from within, leaking out a malicious aura.

Lith and Luna both distanced themselves from the well, but they could feel the vibrations from the loud rumbling it caused.

After being a hundred kilometers away, they saw a smoke cloud erupt in the sky from below.

The smoke took the shape of a gray gate and the malicious aura intensified.

Soon, out of the gates, four pitch-black humanoid creatures, possessing l.u.s.trous red eyes, and sharp, angular wings emerged out.

It had not even been a second since they appeared in this world, when their eyes found Lith.

"Your Highness!" Luna cried out and kicked Lith away from his place.

An explosion occurred in the place he was at.

"Kakaka!" The creatures laughed loudly in their coa.r.s.e voice. They gazed at Lith and Luna as if they were ants waiting to be trampled upon.

"Weak, but full of negative energy!"

"Good meal!"

"Meal? This is a feast!"

The creatures talked among themselves.

"I'll go capture that bug. You keep that bug busy." A creature pointed at Lith and went in his direction.

Lith did not see anything other than a flash of darkness. But his super sharp instincts sent warning signals and he instinctively teleported away.

Luna could see the humanoid creature flying her way. She sneered and thought, 'You dare to harm His Highness?'

Such a situation had never occurred before where someone had dared to attack the Prince.

People in this world knew the immensity of heaven and earth. They had eyes and they could see Mt. Tai, making them not court death and entering into the Dumb Ways To Die list.

The only attacks Lith had ever faced were the times when he went on an adventure, away from this world.

As far as Luna knew him, he had never been in trouble in the world before and that was good! No harm should befall His Highness! As a maid, it was her duty to serve and protect him.

She had been serving him all this while, and the time of protecting had also arrived.

Luna did not indulge much in battle, but that did not mean she did not have any combat prowess.

Taking out two swords from her s.p.a.ce ring, she flapped her bat wings and instantly closed the distance between the pitch-

black monster and herself.

The monster wasn't surprised. It turned into a streak of darkness and dodged Luna's attack.

Luna twisted her hips and with a bright arc, the dual swords. .h.i.t something metallic behind her. It was the monster's rigid body.

Some surprise flashed in the monster's red eyes, but he wasn't fazed. He attacked Luna back with his dagger-like hands.

The attack was blocked by one of Luna's swords and the other was hacked at its heart.

The monster felt it wouldn't hurt it, but the sword pa.s.sed his metallic body like a hot knife in b.u.t.ter, making him widen his eyes in shock.

He distanced himself from Luna, and it was in this opening that she teleported close to Lith and slashed her sword at the second monster's neck.

"Watch out!" The monster yelled.

An incoming attack at his forehead stopped as the monster in front of Lith disappeared.

Luna was back at his side and held his hand. With sharp eyes, and a firm tone, she said, "Your Highness, we must leave."

Her tone stated there was no room for discussion.

Lith nodded, but right then four black blobs surrounded him and Luna.

"No escaping!" A loud coa.r.s.e voice said.

Luna clicked her tongue as she felt the connection to the s.p.a.ce element being cut off.

Lith could feel it too.

Luna let go of Lith's hands and threw her sword like a spear at one of the four humanoid figures.

They dodged it, but the sword changed its course and hacked the monster's neck.

"Blergh!" The monster puked black blood.

A black blob fell down to the ground, letting Lith and Luna feel the connection to s.p.a.ce again.

"Your Highness, go! Now!" Luna shouted.

Before Lith could voice out his feelings, Luna sent a talisman his way. It stuck to his forehead and made him disappear, leaving Luna alone in the place.

As Lith vanished, the four monsters frowned.

"What the—!" The monster exclaimed. "The source disappeared!"

"I can feel it in that direction! Let's go!" Another monster said.

As if Luna was a speck of dust, the four ignored her and left in the direction of the Royal Castle, which was in a completely different direction.

Luna was dumbfounded and stood in place, pondering over her situation. "They were after His Highness all along? Why?"

"What did they mean by negative energy?"

At this point, Luna got a call.

Checking the number, it was from her Madam.

"Yes, Madam?"

"Kill them, Luna. They'll be beneficial for your growth. I'll make the servants in the castle unable to attack them. You have all the time in hand." Lilith's melodious voice rang out.

Luna was dumbfounded again. What was this peculiar situation?

Nevertheless, she bowed physically and said, "Understood, Madam."

The call was cut and Luna disappeared from her spot.

…..

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Lith was back home in the outer ring of the castle. The first person he saw was his mother, standing in front of him and looking at him with a smile.

She walked over to him and asked with a teasing smile, "How does it feel to be helpless?"
