Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1027 Times Were Changing

"...Truly, we are grateful for your grace from the bottom of our hearts."

In front of Lith, four Giants were kneeling, with two being ladies and two men.

Watching such a scene, anyone would be embarrassed and ask the elders to not bow like that.

Humility and modesty were virtues most people with common sense had. Lith wasn't an exception to it, but being of nobility, he was trained to not feel embarrassed over such matters.

"Please lift your heads," Lith said in a calm tone and got the formalities over with.

Nika, her aunt, her father, and grandfather stopped kneeling and got up to see Lith.

They were all smiles and felt not the slightest bit of shame for thanking him like that.

Lith was in the living room of Nika's house.The size of it was as much as a five-storey tall building. It's no wonder why the Giants made everything out of stone cheap materials.

Making shelters as big as these with expensive materials was surely not the way. Being frugal in such matters took off some economic burden from everybody.

Everyone sat around a round table with Lith sitting on a high chair to match these guys' height.

He made use of Earth element and made a temporary chair.

Nika's aunt had golden locks like her while her face radiated as bright as a lily. Her complexion was much better than the last time Lith saw her.

"...So, savior, what brings you to our humble abode?"

A man with a long beard and bald head asked. There was a scar on his face and he appeared more like a Giant-sized dwarf with all those muscles on him than a Giant.

This was Nika's father.

"Just to have a chat." Lith said casually and turned to look at Nika's aunt.

Nika's aunt, as if knowing what Lith wanted to ask, nodded her head.

"If it's the backstory you want to know, then it went like this…"

Nika's aunt began narrating the past events. There were a lot of details in it, but the notable information was highlighted in Lith's brain.

There were cloaked figures that attacked them. One of them had burn marks like snake scales on their hands, and one possessed a helical inflamed bump, as if something was underneath their skin.

That's all the lady knew of.

Lith chatted with them some more and the conversation steered from their past to their current occupation.

These guys were apothecaries. It was like alchemy but more magic oriented and less cultivation type.

Potions and magic spells were their main elements, and the only cultivation related thing they followed was the grading system. Saint grade, King grade, and so on.

When the conversation came to an end, Lith was given a few potions by Nika's family as a token of thanks and sent off.

Lith appreciated them for it, and after leaving their place, went straight for the hunt of the cloaked figures.

…..

"Yes, Your Highness. I can see her."

Sitting on a bench by a cobblestone path, Sylvia said softly on the phone while staring at a Giant sitting under a tree and writing.

Sylvia appeared no less than a small bug on this big bench and her aura was retracted, making her appear harmless and invisible to everyone around.

The person she had just described was a lady wearing a plain white and blue tunic, typical for adventurers and the people of the Giant kingdom. Nothing particularly stood out about her, except for her arms which were covered in burn marks.

-Continue to keep a watch on her and let me know if something suspicious happens.

Lith's voice rang in Sylvia's ears.

"Is His Highness not coming?"

-No. I'm in a bit of a—

-BANG—!

-Tch. I'll call you later.

Beep.

Sylvia stared at her phone as Lith hung up and wondered what trouble her Prince had gotten himself into.

…..

BANG—!

An earth-shell shot towards Lith like a bullet. It was one at first, but halfway through, split into two, then four, and by the time it reached Lith, the numbers reached in hundreds.

With his magenta-flamed dark sword, Lith cut the shells as if it were tofu and charged towards the person caster, a Giant with helical marks on his hands.

"Mother's embrace — descend!"

Ripples in space formed due to the Giant's roar, and a black aura rained down at Lith, crushing him.

He may have evaded the shells, but this aura was unavoidable.

The Giant ran towards Lith after pinning him down. The ground rumbled but there was not the slightest crack on it, making it evident just how proficient the other party was in Earth Path.

The pressure on Lith was heavy. The power did not belong to this world!

Clicking his tongue, Lith willed the Space elements around him to cast Short Jump.

It was met with failure.

There was no Space element near him.

Not just Space, no elements could be felt, and Lith was completely blocked from them.

'This is bad.'

The situation was dire. Lately, more and more enemies were using the ability to cut off elemental energies, rendering one hopeless.

What use were all elemental affinities when one couldn't even feel them? This was a clear weakness.

But so what?

It wasn't the end of the world!

"Psych Puppetry!"

Ancient red sigils spiraled into Lith's amethyst pupils and began rotating.

His vision distorted and the charging Giant turned blurry, only to be replaced with a scene of a silverhead pressed on the ground.

"Kill!"

Lith said out loud, but instead of his mouth, the words were spoken by the charging Giant, who's eyes had lost their color.

SLASH—!

The Giant cut his own neck with his dagger and fell down with a loud thud.

The aura on Lith vanished and the elemental energies could be felt again.

Instead of rejoicing, Lith dashed towards the almost dead Giant and yelled out, "Blanket of Vitality!"

A green-colored light enveloped the Giant and cocooned him within. The bleeding stopped and the fast appearing pale color of his skin turned back to a healthy wheat shade.

The Giant was unconscious, but alive.

The fight just now was intense. It seemed simple, but everything had happened within ten seconds.

If Lith was late by even a millisecond, he would've been resurrected back in the Royal Castle. It would've been really shameful to have his first death be like that.

Walking towards the Giant, Lith stared at him as he lay inside a transparent green-hued cocoon.

Finding him was a hassle. If not for Fei and Meryl's help, it would've been really troublesome.

At first, there had been problems that arose on Gunther's side with Cimir suddenly launching an attack that shook the whole kingdom.

There was a massacre in a nearby village to Semohr and all attention was diverted from Cimir to that place.

It was said that the Chief was really angry and he had personally made a claim by swearing in another Seia's name that the culprit would be punished.

The Chief along with Cimir personally went to visit the village and took a big army with them. The event was being live streamed everywhere in the kingdom.

Lith's strategy to tarnish Cimir's name had failed as all the attention was shifted to the massacre.

The massacre was wrong. Really very wrong. And Lith had to bear the brunt of it too due to the cause and effect principle.

The halo in his ring had become thicker and he had a feeling that the massacre in the village was going to haunt him later if he didn't do something about it.

Secretly, Lith called for reinforcements from home. It was Noman along with his subordinate Helen that came to him.

The two were tasked with secretly bringing all the people to life and not letting a single soul slip out.

They happily accepted the task and went to get things done.

To have the Chief get away from the village with his army, firstly, another explosion was made. This time it was right in the heart of Semohr, at the noble center of the city.

The explosion shook the entirety of the kingdom and made everyone understand just how unsafe times had gotten.

The Chief along with Cimir were restless when they noticed it and ran back to the capital.

Noman and Helen got the needed time and got to work.

It was around this time that Lith got an urgent call from Fei, who said that she found the person Lith was looking for.

The Giant was in the midst of committing some heinous acts, and although didn't like being that person, he had become a knight in shining armor for the people in distress.

The people were rescued from the Giant, but enraged, he shot the Earth shells at Lith.

The fight ended with Lith winning, but this interaction served as a warning for him.

Times were changing.

The unsealing of the world had caused lots of unrest and it was only going to worsen from here onwards.

If this Giant could summon otherworldly power like this, what could the people from the Evure God Clan be capable of?

Lith didn't dare to think for long. He had to hasten whatever he was planning and get things done at the earliest. Otherwise this world— no, his home, was doomed.

Lith flew over the Giant's body and stared at his unconscious face.

'A soul search should give me all the answers. Let's see what all secrets this thing possesses…'
