Vampire's Slice Of Life

The guards had come out of the alley and were now in the open, giving Lucas the perfect opportunity to strike. 

The prodigy was in the middle of the guards and to strike him under the nose of the guards was difficult.

Thankfully, Lucas had prepared measures beforehand.

'Apply 3 stealth boosters.' Lucas called out in his mind.

[Applying…]

His body turned invisible and he started closing in on the guards. While doing so, Lucas said softly, "Move."

Swish. Swish.

Four people glided through the air and rushed towards the guards along with Lucas.

"HALT! Take position!" The guards stopped immediately in their positions and prepared to protect the prodigy in the middle.

BOOM!

One of the four charging towards the guards sent a long range Fire attack towards the guards, but it was eventually blocked by them.

The guards took out their defensive artifacts and also ensured to send message for help.

But Lucas knew that it would take at least a few tens of minutes for help to arrive.

All artifacts related to teleportation were expensive and the ones that helped in continental teleportation were extremely rare and not something within the reach of even a Half Emperor Rank clan or family.

There were also just a handful of people with Space affinities and in the Emperor Rank realm.

Only an Emperor Rank being was able to cast Continental Jump and teleport from one continent to another. And there were just a select few who could make artifacts using the Space element.

So for help to arrive, the King Rank family would first need to go through teleportation circles of their continent and only after arriving in the Neutral Continent would they be able to reach the prodigy.

To use the teleportation circle, the King Rank powerhouse would need to go through the embassies and everything and do some paperwork. The duration in which help would arrive to the kid would depend on how fast this process was completed.

Lucas had a rough idea about the time and thus wasn't afraid. He had come fully prepared as he knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

If he messes up now, there's no recovering from it. The kid was always be guarded by people at all times until he grew strong and this was not a good news for him.

'I must hurry!' Lucas thought while rushing towards the guards.

The four people who were attacking the guards were hired by him. He had paid a hefty sum to get those immortals on his side.

His plan was to distract the guards with those people and sneak inside their defense and get the kid.

The guards and the hired immortals fought together.

The guards gave their all while the hired immortals attacked cautiously. They surely were paid to do things, but weren't paid enough to risk their lives.

Lucas reached close to he guards but didnt charge in. He knew he had to wait a bit more.

The guards and the hired immortals had to be in stalemate for Lucas to do his job. Either that, or they should get suppressed by the hired immortals.

But Lucas knew the latter possibility was less and so he waited for the stalemate to occur.

Meanwhile…

*

Abalax World Academy.

"Madam…" Sel, wearing formal clothing and sitting on the sofa in Emilia's office, said while looking at Emilia.

Emilia was writing some things and was busy. But while continuing to work, she asked without looking towards Sel, "Yes?" 

"People are fighting near the sky island." Sel addressed the issue.

"It happens every year." Emilia said and continued to work.

"Yes, it does. But the problem is, the participant with seven elemental affinities is under attack." 

Tap!

Emilia put down her pen and looked towards Sel as she heard that. "Come again?" 

Sel repeated what she had just said. "...is under attack." 

Emilia rubbed her temples listening to that. She then said with a sigh, "Why can't people live peacefully? And why do they want to attack young talented children?"

She then got up from her seat and snapping her fingers, changed her outfit into yellow daoist robes from her usual formal one.

Emilia had learnt this quick outfit changing trick from her personal maid. Her personal maid had inturn learnt it from Luna, the head maid.

Emilia then took off her round gold rim glasses and said walking towards Sel, "I'll personally oversee this matter today."

Her eyes then became serious and she summoned a lightning hammer in her hand. "People are taking the academy for granted. They are taking me, a Seraphim for granted. Why must they attack my children and how do they have the audacity to do such a thing right near me?" 

Sel shivered as she looked at her madam. She hadn't seen Emilia so serious in such a long time!

She got up and waited for Emilia to pass her. Once she did, Sel walked behind her. This gesture that Sel did, Emilia might've ignored it, but it was a form of respect for her.

And it was also done because Sel was in the protection of Emilia and also her subordinate. 

Emilia was not only the Seraphim Sel was under, she was also Sel's guardian angel. If she didn't show respect to her guardian angel, then who would she show it to?

Sel and Emilia both walked out of the office and went towards the gate of the academy.

While near the gate, Sel asked, "Madam, I can handle this if you want." 

Emilia looked down at the place people were fighting and said calmly, "No. I've been dormant for far too long. It seems people have forgotten what it means to offend the War Angel."

"My husband is resting and since I can't be with him, I'll just ensure it now that people don't give me more work in the future."

"More work?" Sel asked, not understanding the connection between the two sentences her madam just said.

"What?" Emilia, who was looking down, turned to look at Sel and asked back as she didn't understand what Sel was asking.

Sel looked at her madam and continued to stare at her, to get an answer.

"..." Emilia stared at Sel as well, waiting for an answer.

The two didn't say anything and waited, eventually Emilia couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion and say, "Why aren't you saying anything?" 

Sel blinked twice. Wasn't her madam supposed to speak? It was her turn!

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "Weren't you saying something, Madam?" Sel asked.

Emilia shook her head. "No?" 

"What?" 

"What?" 

"..."

There was a bit of misunderstanding caused between the two and Emilia stared at Sel dumbfoundedly.

She then shook her head and said, "Stop disturbing me Sel. Let's go down, I need to show these people on what it means to make me work overtime."

Causing trouble to the participants of the academy exam and near the academy itself, Emilia had to do something about it.

The academy couldn't just keep quiet and let their students be harmed.

This meant Emilia had to work more and what she was saying previously to Sel was that she wanted to tell the world to not cause trouble to the students or doing so would have its consequences.

Telling them this would also ensure that no further people fought and attacked the students and Emilia would thus won't have any need to work more.

Not working more meant being able to have more time to spend with her husband.

That was the goal.

And so, she moved out of the sky island along with Sel and moved down towards the area where the fight was.

Crack!

A guard's hand broke. But soon it healed when he applied a healing potion on himself.

This short while of applying potion caused the hired immortals to find an opening to attack.

But their attacks were neutralized and finally, a stalemate was established.

'Now!' 

Lucas, finding an opening, finally charged towards the kid. Now was the time to make a move and get the prodigy.

The guards were trying their best to defend while the hired immortals, having no risk to their lives were doing their best to attack the guards.

This stalemate was a perfect opportunity for Lucas and there was no way he wouldn't be able to get the kid.

Lucas just needed to touch the kid. Just one touch and he would finally become an all elemental mage.

One touch was all it took to fulfill his long wished dream!

Just one touch!
