Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 855 Clearing The Fodders

The large creature at the front had corrosive properties and any attack sent on it would either be blocked by some other creature or sent back.

It was best to not rattle that thing for now and fight the smaller fodders instead.

Killing these guys was difficult, but with holy elements, things were still fine.

The problem was, the only person who possessed holy elements was Ariel and she was having a hard time managing things.

Being told that Light was needed to defeat these things, Lith stretched himself in a relaxed fashion and said, "Alright, I'll see to it then."

With that, Lith maneuvered the creature he was holding onto right at the frontlines where Sebastian was fighting.

Killing and hopping down beside him, Lith flashed a small smile and waved at Sebastian. "Yo, been a while."

Sebastian forced a smile in this precarious situation and did a light nod, returning the gesture to Lith.

Lith didn't indulge in any more chatter and spreading his palms out, began feeling the Light element to attack these things.

A warm feeling coursed through Lith's body as a connection with the elements was re-established. Just by feeling some of his spiritual power return, Lith found himself in a bliss.

It was so soothing and refreshing to feel it back after an entire year. It was as if a major disability was gone and Lith felt totally complete.

A bright golden magic circle appeared on Lith's palms as he willed the Light elements around him.

Charging right at the monsters in front, Lith slapped them as hard as he could with his magic circles, making them burst apart and sizzle loudly.

Ariel was correct. Light was the way to defeat these guys, evident from the way their flesh was boiling by having some Light touch them.

Zigzagging his way forwards like lighting, Lith went on a killing spree and slightly surprised Sebastian, Iki, Tsuki, Anne, and Ariel who were struggling till now.

A major part of the fodders was wiped out, relieving some pressure off the five Chosen Ones and gave them some room to think further about the ways to defeat this thing here.

While everyone was fighting, in the certain spot of this desolate plains, a small child was sitting on top of a small pile of dead warrior corpses and staring at the group with his emerald green eyes.

The boy's posture was like a thinker and he seemed like a wise old philosopher trapped in a child's body.

"The talent is astronomical. How did such a group come together?" The child said some deep words, but his immature voice brought about a conflict and he didn't seem serious at all.

"Baat! What am I even thinking about? It could be a coincidence— wait, why am I rejecting— wait! What—"

Immediately, the personality of this boy switched as he began having an internal struggle and suffered.

The boy rolled around on the corpses he had piled up and got his clothes lathered in flesh and bones.

"I hate this! Baat! Baat! That damn—baat!—wizard!"

Unaware of a child's struggles, back in the battlefield, the six continued to fight their way to kill the undeads present in front of them.

Anne's necromancy summons weren't working as she was using Dark element, so she merely used her strength to kill whatever came at her bay.

Tsuki sent a few attacking spells here and there, but she was majorly involved in healing.

Ariel's holy attacks were effective, but not as much as Lith's despite him being a Vampire.

Ariel was the most proficient in her wisdom and was of a major help in devising strategies on the battlefield.

Iki was purely strength. If given a chance, he would shut his brain off and simply swing his blade as many times as called upon.

But, his intelligence was far too high as well and when in a peril, he would blast out his full potential.

Iki was doing that before the group came and had exhausted everything he had at hand, getting himself on the verge of death.

If Ariel hadn't arrived on time after finding something wrong, Iki really would've died.

While fighting the monsters, Lith thought of this thing.

It may seem like a coincidence at first, but it really wasn't, in his opinion.

From them being brought together to now Ariel discovering things regarding Iki and calling everybody… things were far too suspicious for them to be mere coincidences.

Who or what was behind everything, Lith didn't know yet. For the time being, it was useless to think about so many things.

The only thing Lith and everyone else needed to worry about now was defeating this monster in front that seemed like it couldn't be killed.

Long range, short range… any attack barely even worked on this thing as it was sending it back with the same intensity.

Not only the six had to dodge while attacking, they also had to make sure to get touched by that warrior monster's body.

The corrosion was really strong and they had found out about this when they threw a dead person's body at it.

The body didn't even melt upon touching that big monster, but instantly vaporized!

The six weren't weak people, but they also weren't stupid enough to test out whether they would survive by getting touched by that thing or not.

For all one knew, it may be a hoax from that monster to scare them, but the risk was far too high and such a bet should never be taken.

In any case, after a few hours of struggle, the six had managed to clear out all the fodders from the field.

Major work was done by Lith and his abilities fascinated the rest of the five, bringing forth a deep respect for him from within.

Nobody said any word to him though and kept the respect buried within themselves. It was slightly embarrassing to portray and these people were the types to 'show' and not 'tell'.

Actions spoke louder than words and they would express their respect to Lith in one way or another in the near future.

While the six continued to fight the big monster boss, far away from them, in a realm astronomically above,

Within a broken temple, there sat a figure on a huge throne, looking down at a person with his calm sagely eyes.

A woman in purple robes was staring right at him with her calm, sharp slanted eyes even though she appeared like an ant in front of such a domineering figure.

"Lord, there's something different happening with one of the soul strands you have sent out."
