Vampire's Slice Of Life

It had been a while since Lith and his squad were watching the people in the control room.

Lith was on guard for any surprise attack but even after waiting for so long, there were no signs of anyone coming to these peopleʼs rescue.

The ones in the control room sure had become totally insane right now, but they wouldnʼt die unless killed. Someone had to do a finishing blow.

Lith turned to look at Ralph and asked, ”What do you think?”

”I feel something amiss. But if what I was thinking was right, there shouldʼve been someone coming for the rescue of these people. But it seems, there really isnʼt coming and I think itʼs safe to attack them now.” Ralph said seriously.

Lith nodded. ”What is after this?”

”Weʼll call someone from the main squads and have them wave the Shadow River Sect banner on top of the control tower, thereby concluding that this territory now belongs to the sect.”

”And what will we do after it?” Lith asked again.

Ralph thought for a bit and collected his thoughts. He then said, ”Weʼll go to one of the main territories of the two clans and attack them. But things wonʼt be very simple once we go there and itʼll be much more heated than this and we have to be prepared for everything.”

Lith smiled and nodded. Thatʼs what he had in mind as well. ”Donʼt worry, everything will be just fine. Now call someone from the main squad and ask them to come to the control tower.”

Ralph was slightly confused as he heard that. ”But we havenʼt initiated the attack yet and donʼt know how long itʼll take for us to clear them.”

Lith chuckled this time and said, ”just call them and ask them to come here immediately. Leave everything else to me.”

”Alright.” Ralph didnʼt question further and went to take the call.

Ralph, even though he had both brains and brawn, he knew he was still far from being on Lithʼs level. And being a demon, it was his innate nature to look upto someone strong. Lith was the same age as him and was levels so above him that even Ralph didnʼt know where the benchmark was present that he needed to cross and pass Lith.

Dennis, who was just beside and listening to the entire conversation, asked Lith, ”Your Highness, are we attacking? Should I go? Should I start?”

Lith shook his head. ”Not yet, Dennis. We need to make this quick and go to other places. Even if you attack the people in the control room, they wonʼt fight you back and youʼll end up slaughtering them. Itʼs no use. Weʼll finish them in one go and leave.”

It was Dennisʼs time to get confused now. ”But how are we going to do one clean sweep? We donʼt even have the necessary artifacts or a big bomb something.”

Lith smiled. ”Youʼll see.”

Before Dennis could ask more questions, Ralph finished his call and said to Lith, ”theyʼll be here in five minutes. Is that enough time or should I ask them to come later?”

Lith got off from the tree branch as he heard that and floated in mid air. He stretched himself and said to Ralph, ”itʼs more than enough.”

Ralph and Dennis quietly looked at what Lith was doing and the same was the case with the other people in their squad. They were all silent and looking at what Lith would do.

While stretching, Lith thought on what he would use to slaughter all of the people in the control room. Should he use destruction energy and kill everyone with a big fireball? Or should he send his spear equipped with spells and explode everything? Or should he make some poisonous gas and have everyone be killed silently?

The possibilities of killing these people were endless for Lith. He racked his brain a bit to come up with a good answer that would take all things into consideration and soon came up with one.

ʼAlright, I wonʼt do anything flashy and kill everyone silently. There are the sect disciples watching and I donʼt want to give out a lot of information about me.ʼ Lith thought to himself and took out his sword from his ring.

Lith slashed the sword in air once and readied himself. ʼTime to get into action,ʼ after thinking of this, he teleported directly inside the control tower, among the mad people.

”HAHAHAHAHAHA!” Lith saw a guy laugh out loud while watching himself in the mirror.

”YEEEEEEEE! I AM A BIRD! I AM A BIRD!” A guy was waving his hands and trying to imitate a flying action of a bird.

”Wuu… Wuu… Fuck you Sara… why you took the kids too… Wuu… Wuu…” A man was crying in a corner and drawing imaginary circles on the ground.

”Sniff… Sniff… I wanted to be a big sorcerer and not a watchman in a tower… Sniff… Sniff…” One man was gazing at the screen in front of him and sobbing.

”YEHIHIHIHIHI! Destroying this screen is the best!” A man said so and destroyed the screen near him with a hammer.

”I am a dead man, I am a free man. I am a dead man, I am a free man. I am a dead man…” The Rank 9 incharge had lost it and was chanting the same thing over and over again while pacing back and forth in one place.

Looking at all these people turning mad, Lith felt nothing. Despite feeling as if he was in a mental asylum, he wasnʼt weirded out and was thinking of who to take out from their misery first.

Lith then decided to take out the Rank 9 first and for that, he covered himself with a barrier and became invisible.

Lith closed in on the Rank 9 and was directly behind him.

”I am a dead man, I am a free man. I am a dea–”

Slick!

Lith ignored the chants of the man and directly slashed his sword on the Rank 9ʼs head and sliced his body into two halfs, thereby killing him.

Lith made sure to not damage the Magic Core that the man possessed as doing so would cause a big explosion and things would be really bad.

Blood and organs splattered everywhere on the ground and despite it becoming a grotesque scene, Lith felt nothing from it. He extended his hand forward and the Magic Core of the person came flying into his hand.

Lith stared at the red core in his hand and felt a urge to smash it to pieces right here. He had never done it but the urge to do it was real. But he controlled himself from doing so as the core was that of a Rank 9 and things would be bad if it was smashed.

Lith chanted a few things while holding the core and all the organs and blood from the ground swirled and entered inside it within a few seconds. Then, black smoke seeped out of it and covered the red core in its entirety. After the core was fully black and coated, Lith put it inside his ring.

”One down.” Lith said softly after saying so.

What he just did was sealed the routes of this person from resurrecting again somewhere and becoming a hindrance in the war. He ended up killing him and the only thing that could happen to him was his soul entering the reincarnation cycle.

His cultivation, his whole hardwork and everything was gone as he got killed by Lith. It was definitely cruel on Lithʼs part, but this was war. There was no mercy for anyone.

Had this been Lithʼs war, he definitely wouldnʼt have allowed the guy to reincarnate as well and killed him completely.

But this was someone elseʼs war and Lith was slightly neutral. He therefore didnʼt kill the guy completely.

The other people present in the room who were screaming, shouting, crying, and showing various other emotions of being psychopaths were in their own worlds and didnʼt bother to see what Lith did. Even the ones who saw Lith didnʼt have much of a reaction.

Lith soon moved across the room and danced with his blade on the bloody floor made out of the blood of the insane people.

He killed everyone within a few seconds and then gathered their core and placed them in front of him. He then cast a spell on it and within moments, the cores were covered in black smoke.

All of these people were below Rank 9 and it didnʼt take a lot of effort for Lith to kill them and make them be unable to come back to life.

He then put all of the cores in his ring and left the control room.

The control room now only had broken screens and furniture and there were no signs of blood or bodies. It was as if everyone had just disappeared out of existence here.

Lith reached close his squad and said, ”Letʼs go. Itʼs done.”

”So fast?” Dennis couldnʼt help but ask.

”Yes. Our job is done here.” Lith said again and insisted on leaving.

The people followed Lithʼs orders and everyone left the place, leaving for one of the main territories of the two clans to finally attack in some place of very high security.
