Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 854 Can't Go Back

Chapter 854 Can’t Go Back

The vision changed and what met Lith's eyes was a h.e.l.lish scene.

In a dark, desolate plain, there was a giant humanoid shaped monster appearing like a warrior. It was commanding a small army of similar appearing monsters and they were fighting against various dark creatures.

These dark creatures were familiar to Lith and turning his head just a bit, he could see the source of these creatures, that being none other than a tall redhead, standing menacingly above a giant dark summon.

It was Anne, one of the six Chosen Ones, and a master necromancer that summoned dark creatures from the very pits of h.e.l.l.

A war was going on in this place and on the front lines, Lith could see a blonde guy in a suit fighting against many creatures at once.

Beside him was a purple-haired samurai, heavily beaten up and bleeding, but still standing proud and fighting with his last breath.

Behind the two was a green-haired pet.i.te girl, emitting green radiance and providing healing to them.

Right above them, flying in the air with a pair of pure white wings was a white-haired, golden-eyed girl with a lance in her hand.

She was shouting commands one after another while slaying the many creatures that came flying at her.

The situation was messed up and Lith knew there was serious trouble here.

However, having come this far, there was no backing out now.

To see what was going on just took an instant. But to keep his act up, Lith pretended to act confused and said, "What the h.e.l.l just happened to me— wait, the child!"

Lith turned to look at the kid beside him and saw that he was staring at everything with a dumbfounded gaze.

Not being fazed by this, yet still acting surprised, Lith bent down and touching the boy's face to check whether he was alright or not, Lith said, "Are you hurt anywhere? Can you speak? Can you move?"

Lith's words of concern were so gentle and soft that even the boy was left speechless. The gaslighting was real with this one and the boy was feeling something was wrong, but couldn't really point where.

The perks of high charisma were a lot and Lith ranked as a final boss when it came to that.

After successfully making the kid think that it was an accident, Lith simply said to him that he should stay in a corner while he goes to check on what exactly was happening and where they were.

The kid didn't throw a fit for all the obvious reasons and Lith finally left him, sighing a bit in relief.

After Lith was gone, the kid knitted his brows and gritting his teeth, said, "That d.a.m.n wizard…"

With Lith gone, the kid finally threw a tantrum and harrumphing and snorting, walked with his little feet to a safe area in the desolate plains.

Meanwhile, Lith reached the gang of Chosen Ones and grabbing onto a flying creature, dug his sharp nails into its head and maneuvered it as per his wish.

Riding on the back of this creature, Lith reached Ariel's area.

Just as he did so, Ariel, with her brows knitted and a tense expression on her face, said, "Don't ask me anything now. Just know that someone big is against us and we can't teleport back for now."

"What!?" Lith was genuinely shocked right now. "We can't go back to our original place or—"

"Nowhere! Can't go anywhere, not even a single step in front of you with teleportation." Ariel replied in a hurried tone while defending against acidic attacks of a humanoid creature.

"Huh?" Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Lith tried to feel the s.p.a.ce element around him but failed to do so immediately.

'What? How can this happen?' Lith couldn't understand.

If he could teleport from a far away place to this place, then how come s.p.a.ce element couldn't be felt here? There was no way that it didn't exist because without it, this dimension would cease to exist as well.

Elements were the necessary building blocks of the universe and while on his way, Lith had definitely arrived due to the complex mechanism of the s.p.a.ce element.

It was definitely existing here, but may be sealed for some reason, hindering all teleportation spells.

"What exactly is happening, Ariel?" Lith genuinely wanted to know about the situation and asked again.

Ariel was really busy with combat and with how things were going, she seemed to be in dire need of help as she was the only one handling the enemy in the sky.

Giving her some support and room to breathe, Ariel took a deep breath and said while slas.h.i.+ng a creature's head, "Iki was on the verge of death a while ago. His death was the reason we were feeling a sense of uneasiness. If I'm not wrong then…"

Ariel pierced a flying creature's body with her lance and continued, "Then we are all connected somehow and if one dies, everyone else will follow."

"What!?" Lith exclaimed while powerfully punching a creature, making its body burst.

This was the third shock he got today and if possible, he really didn't want any more of them. They were all so s.h.i.+tty!

Ariel nodded her head and taking out the lance and piercing another creature's body, continued, "This is my hypothesis and I'm leaning on the side that it's true."

Lith's expression turned grave. He didn't want to believe that it was all true and wanted to hope that it wasn't, but sadly, such wasn't the case.

Back in Novolzak's trial where he met this group for the first time, Ariel had shown great wisdom and was a highly intellectual being. All her tactics, strategies, and predictions had come true there and never once was she wrong.

This golden eyed angel was really something. She was a boundless ocean of knowledge and knew so much that the Royal Archies and the two inheritances in Lith's mind would pale in comparison.

Words coming out of such a being's mouth were rarely ever wrong and knowing that his fate was now sealed, Lith sighed and then clicked his tongue in annoyance.

There was some regret to answer this teleportation, but then knowing that this would provide a great experience to him, Lith simply became annoyed.

"Guess I'll just have to kill the boss then." Lith said in a relaxed tone, as if he wasn't going to go up against a creature that could literally smash him to bits within a few seconds.

However, before Lith could fly away to the creature in question, Ariel said hurriedly:

"No, don't! Don't attack that big monster, there's some serious issues with that."
