Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lith had to make sure of one thing. That was, whether the person below him really was the one behind his assassination attempt.

Though Lith found a King Rank here, he wasnʼt entirely sure if this was the right person.

Firstly, there could be more than one King Rank and secondly, there could even be an Emperor Rank instead of a King Rank, who knows?

Lith therefore didnʼt just kill the guy on the spot despite being angry and just held him by his neck.

”Who are you?” Lith asked calmly. He decided to do one question at a time and not rush things.

Zelphʼs body was crushed and it was aching everywhere. He looked in front of him and saw Lithʼs handsome face. But instead of getting charmed by Lith, he felt as if a scary devil was in front of him.

Lithʼs aura made Zelph scared for some reason and this aura was far stronger and far more horrifying than what he had ever experienced in his life so far. Even Qianyu wasnʼt able to scare him like how Lith did.

Zelph took a deep breath and said truthfully, ”I am Zelph. Can you please put me down? Iʼll answer everything that youʼll ask.”

Lith let go of the guy as he heard that. He was angry but he controlled his anger and decided to take a step back and ask questions instead of jumping to conclusions.

”Iʼll ask again, who are you?” Lith asked with a neutral face.

Zelph sighed and said, ”I am Zelph, the commander of the Right Legion, one of the only two subordinates of General Haemir of the Scalanis Family.”

Zelph knew that if he didnʼt answer properly, he was sure to die here today. Just judging from the force with which he got slammed down on the ground, he was sure that the other party was definitely more powerful than even Qianyu.

What scared Zelph further was the fact that he somehow had this intuition that if he got killed here, he wouldnʼt ever resurrect or reincarnate and would permanently die. He didnʼt want such a fate for himself and decided to say things truthfully.

ʼScalanis? Who is that?ʼ Lith thought to himself. He hadnʼt heard of such a name before. To know more, Lith asked, ”Where is this family?”

”Itʼs an Elven Viscount Family, residing on the World Tree in Alfheim in the Elven Continent.” Zelph said truthfully again.

He only revealed information that wouldnʼt cause any problems to the family and didnʼt reveal any secrets of theirs. If he was asked to reveal any top secrets, Zelph would surely hesitate and things would be problematic. However, he had a feeling that Lith wouldnʼt ask for any secrets because the youth before him did not seem interested at all.

Lith took note of this thing and thought to himself, ʼa Viscount Elven Family is helping the Senzal Clan? Hmm… it seems theyʼre getting a lot of external support. If this is the condition of these guys, the Kenzal Clan must be the same as well. But now the question arises, who has helped the Kenzal Clan?ʼ

After a bit of thinking later, Lith asked the other question, ”since when were you here in the Senzal Clan territory?”

This was the most important question.

Zelph thought about it and said, ”I arrived with the army just a few moments ago.”

Lith narrowed his eyes at the Commander. His imposing aura of the strongest bloodline in the world blasted at Zelph with full force causing the latter to be scared witless.

”I am speaking the truth… We were stuck in the Elven Customs… had a mysterious person not helped us, we would not have arrived here at all!”

Commander Zelph rambled, causing Lith to tone down his aura.

ʼI was sneak attacked an hour ago. This guy has arrived just now. Did he not do it? Or perhaps… he attacked before and arrived only now?ʼ Lith wasnʼt sure if the guy in front was innocent or not. To confirm, he asked more questions.

”If you arrived now, it must mean that you donʼt know what parties are participating here except for the sect and Kenzal Clan, right?” Lith asked.

Zelph nodded. ”Thatʼs right. We have only been told about the Shadow River Sect and though we know who it is, we donʼt know anything about their outfits or battle style or various other things. We were supposed to meet Senzal and he was going to brief us but things got delayed.”

Lith had a neutral look on his face as he heard that. As Zelph finished, Lith asked again, ”then, why were you trying to attack those people there?”

Lith pointed towards his squad and asked with a chilly tone. His aura flared once more causing the commander to spill all the thoughts in his head.

”Because they seemed too suspicious. Their behavior and reasoning; everything seemed wrong. I thought it wonʼt be any problem later even if they were from the same side as our army is now here. I am a King Rank and the people in my army are strong as well. We can manage.”

Hearing that question, Lith had a slight frown on his face. So the lives of his two friends meant nothing to this guy and he was planning to kill them?

But soon his frown eased as he realized that this was war and everything was fair. However, him doing this was still unacceptable.

”Do you know who you were just about to kill?” Lith asked calmly.

Zelph shook his head. ”No, but even if they were someone important and got killed, it would be on them. Donʼt roam so freely if you arenʼt prepared to die in a battle.”

”If I was the weaker party there, I am sure I wouldʼve gotten killed instead of them. So allʼs fair in war.”

Lith nodded. What Zelph said made sense. Lith then flashed a small smile and said, ”those two are the direct descendants of an Emperor Rank. How do you feel knowing about it now?”

Zelph didnʼt have any change of emotions as he heard that and he was calm. Though he was initially scared of Lith, after a few questions, he adapted himself well and answered calmly to all things.

Zelph simply answered Lithʼs question again, ”I feel nothing about it. My answer still remains the same. Itʼs kill or be killed. If the Emperor Ranks have problems later due to it, then so be it. But they should know, it was because of their carelessness that their children died here and should have taken more security measures.”

Lith became interested in this guy as he heard this. All the anger he had for him vanished suddenly and now there was more curiosity in knowing this guy than killing him.

”You donʼt care about your life?” With curiosity, Lith asked.

Zelph shook his head. ”I care about my life. Who wouldnʼt? But getting killed by some force that you cannot stop or avoid is not in your hands, so why bother and be afraid of living or doing things? I love my life and I do things as I please and want. If I were to die following my own morals and principles, then so be it.”

ʼInteresting.ʼ Lith thought. This guy was good in his opinion. A person worthy of recruiting and having for himself.

”Alright, Iʼll ask a final question. Did you kill someone an hour ago?” Lith went straight to the topic now.

Zelph shook his head. ”Me and my army had just arrived at the Uklov International Teleportation Circle and we were heading to Redstone City from there at that time. I didnʼt kill anyone.”

Lith nodded. ”Okay. Youʼre free to go. But just know, I am not on your side and you may get killed the next time I find you.”

Zelph nodded. ”Weʼll see how things go.”

Lith became sure that it wasnʼt Zelph. He let Zelph go and that guy returned to his army and took them to the main area of the Senzal Clan.

Lith reunited with his squad and asked them to retreat according to Ralphʼs plan.

After they were all gone, Lith looked at the Senzal Clan main area and said softly with determination in his eyes,

”Just wait, Iʼll definitely find you and…”
