Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 1133 Circumstances Are Different

1133  Circ.u.mstances Are Different

Evernight City, Nightingale. Work time was over and the common folks were outside their homes, hanging out and having a good time together. Their laughter and cheerful smiles resonated in the entire city and brightened up the dark atmosphere. This was yet another normal day in the city? But as they say, all things come to an end. This good time was made to stop by an incoming meteor shower.

Panicked screams of people replaced the cheerful symphonies as they ran around like headless chickens. A loud siren echoed throughout the city and alerted everyone to move towards the safe shelters. What was happening was unknown. What will happen was unknown. And what they were supposed to do was unknown too. In the span of a minute, things had flipped and changed so drastically that n.o.body could process what they were supposed to do. They simply ran in whatever direction their body made them. In the middle of the city, a meteor fell down, letting out a thunderous explosion, shockwaves of which blew the people away and killed many weak mortals. A dusty lock of golden hair moved out from the debris, and up stood a young girl with a lethargic look on her face. Jacqueline dusted off the fine rock particles from her shoulders and hair, and looked in the direction of an angel with a white pair of wings coming towards her. Jacqueline closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She did not have plans to kill anyone on her investigation quest, but had to do it now. She had warned the angel to not mess with her, yet she did. Emilia, as she flew closer to Jacqueline, had her guard completely raised up. Not in the slightest did she think that Jacqueline was weak or an easy target. Emilia was concerned about the state of this city and her world. Jacqueline had openly said to her that she would destroy this world. Emilia couldn't sit still and do nothing. She had to raise her weapons as talks were futile.

Jacqueline was somewhat taken aback by the sudden burst of strength from Emilia. Wasn't this a demiG.o.d? How was she so strong in this realm?

"Sigh…" Jacqueline shook off the dust particles from her head and shoulders, and exhaled in a tired tone. "You shouldn't have done this…"

Emilia held a golden lance in her hand and gazed down at Jacqueline, her demeanor mellow. Flashes of lightning crackled around Jacqueline's hands and a threatening aura suffocated the panicked people nearby. Emilia raised her lance and slashed it, dissipating the pressure. With a loud zap, Jacqueline appeared right behind Emilia and hacked her sharp fingers at the angel's spine. Vanis.h.i.+ng with a swish sound, the angel sent a counterattack, sending a ruthless lance at the young vampire's glabella.

Jacqueline extended her dark wings out and flapped them, closing the distance between herself and Emilia, and dodging the lance. 13:36

The free moving lance hit a nearby building and blew it to a billion pieces. Thunderous explosions from the battlefield made the vampires in the city wary and avoid it like a plague. The heated battle, with the victor undecided, was just starting to intensify when a slender pale hand held Jacqueline and Emilia's wrists, stopping the two at once. Dumbfounded out of her wits, Jacqueline's hair stood on their ends. She tried to distance herself from whoever this being was, but found herself unable to do so.

"Calm down, child." A soothing voice relaxed her nerves. This was even more concerning for Jacqueline as there shouldn't be any voice that should calm her like this! No matter how panicked she was, Jacqueline couldn't bring herself to be anxious and in a hurry. It was as if her flight or fight mechanism was forcefully suppressed by somebody and she was sedated. "Mother-in-law."

Jacqueline heard this from a familiar relaxing tone, and turning to the angel in front, found her looking at someone right next to them.

Jacqueline's nerves were tout. She could feel the pressure of a mighty being just beside her. She wanted to see who it was, but couldn't, as the pressure was too much.

"I said relax, child."

Jacqueline heard these words again before the world slowly went dark. She pa.s.sed out shortly after. Looking at her unconscious state, Lilith shook her head and turned to look at Emilia.

She gave her a gentle smile and said, "My dear, it wouldn't have ended well had you two fought."

Emilia placed her palm on her chest and bowed slightly. "I apologize for my shortcomings, mother-in-law."

Lilith shook her head. "It's not your shortcomings. Your circ.u.mstances are much different."

One grew up in a place that had no restrictions on cultivation while the other was in a sealed world all her life. It was no one's fault.

Emilia had difficulty comprehending her mother-in-law's statement. Before she could ask her more on it, she was dragged away from the battlefield along with Jacqueline. This was the first proper instance where Lilith came into contact with a member of the Evure G.o.d Clan. She wasn't going to let things be.

The name Evure carried a lot of weight. It was her and her two children's ident.i.ty. She planned to personally intervene into this matter and see how things were. For now, she was at home, waiting and watching what her baby was going to do. Lith was still really young. Going against two major clans that had been there for millions of years was asking for death. How he would accomplish the feat of taking revenge was unknown.

Lilith could only sit back and watch like a good mother. Intervening may stunt his growth. While not actively partic.i.p.ating, Lilith could always involve herself in the matter pa.s.sively, like she was doing now. Jacqueline was someone important to the Evure G.o.d Clan. She was also a link that could be helpful in future events related to that clan.

While this was this, there was also Emilia who couldn't be ignored. This la.s.s had gone out of her way and ascended to Supreme Rank. She had achieved a ma.s.sive feat that was worthy of praise. Her ascension was so good that she was at the peak of Supreme Rank, and could ascend to Legendary within a few years. Ascension in a sealed world vs an open world was quite different and it could clearly be seen in the growth of Arya and Emilia.

A congratulatory banquet had to be made for Emilia as she was now home. Too bad that Lith wasn't here. He would've surely enjoyed everything. With that, the ladies in the castle began preparing for a banquet while Jacqueline lay unconscious in a quiet room for the days to come.

While this was happening, far away from them, in a secluded pier, three figures covered in dark robes got off a boat. They looked like a.s.sa.s.sins, but were acting as spies. Around the pier was darkness with the moonlight s.h.i.+ning on the calm waters and the barren mountain around them. Slowly, the three made their way towards a broken hut with a collapsed roof. The tallest among the three made his way inside the hut and began clearing the debris, searching for something. The two lady spies joined him and did the same. Soon, the man felt engravings on the ground. Quickly clearing the debris, a hexagram with strange symbols was seen on the floor. It seemed to have been engraved hurriedly. "Found it." Lith's gentle voice alerted w.a.n.g Wei and Qingshan, making them squat near him and look at the engraving.

"Young master, are you sure about this?" w.a.n.g Wei asked. She did not have much clue about the mission and was following Lith and the sect master solely as a bodyguard. If anything went south, she could throw herself into action and give them time to escape. This was her plan. Contrary to her thoughts, Lith was fully confident in his discovery. He was well researched and planned quite a lot before leaving for the Midnight Bay.

Currently, he was in one of the secret bases of the Asuras. The Asuras had many such bases in Shen Ze that connected them directly to their territories. n.o.body but them knew of it, and discovering a base was hard as finding a needle in a haystack.

Lith knew of one such due to the unknown Asura lady. This base was located in a central alliance's member world. The base was connected straight to the Midnight Bay and moving from here shouldn't cause any problems as many in the Asuras also weren't aware of this base and where it opened at. Lith had to hurry and leave this place as staying here for too long may cause the authorities of this world to be alerted. He would be in for a hard time and things would get problematic on the Qing Mei Sect's side as they would need to explain what their sect master was doing in such a place at such a time.

Giving a nod to w.a.n.g Wei and a.s.suring her that everything would be fine, Lith placed his hand on the engraving and asked the two to do the same. With his other free hand, he stuck out three fingers and slowly closed them to do a countdown. On the count of three, the three injected their spiritual power into the engraving and made it light up. Soon, the three vanished from their spots and the debris went back to covering the engraving.
