Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 852 A Sudden Call

Chapter 852 A Sudden Call

Strong tidal waves splashed around as a storm raged overhead.

Powerful wind cut through waves and brought great disturbance in the sea, making it near impossible for any s.h.i.+p to sail.

Amidst this very chaos, there sailed a battles.h.i.+p.

A s.h.i.+p so mighty that even from astronomical nautical miles, it would be visible.

A s.h.i.+p so strong that even the strongest of waves could not wreck it.

A s.h.i.+p so st.u.r.dy that even the greatest of storms could be withstood easily.

The s.h.i.+p was sailing smoothly despite the turbulent flows and the reason for that was a single person.

This person sat calmly in his study, reading some papers under an oil lamp.

The bright golden hair shone in the light emitted from the lamp and his white s.h.i.+rt was dyed with an orangish hue.

It was just another normal day for the blonde man and with nothing unusual happening, he continued to read his papers and did some light work.

While he was at it, the door of his study creaked open and there appeared a middle-ages butler with gray sideburns.

Bowing slightly, the butler said, "Master, we are just three hours away from Brinks Harbor."

The blonde man nodded his head lightly. "There's a meeting with the Duke and the King. I'm planning to skip it."

The butler's expression stiffened and a shocked look appeared on his face.

"Surely you must be joking." The butler responded with an awkward smile.

"I'm not." The blonde man said, totally unfazed.

The butler's expression turned grave. "Master Sebastian, I hope you're not forgetting the importance of this meeting. Not only yours, but half the world's fate rests on your shoulder. If something goes wrong here, the providence you'd acc.u.mulate would not be washed away even if you spent nine lives."

The blonde man, being none other than Sebastian, the first Chosen One, was currently having a serious conversation with his trusted butler.

It was only this man who could talk like that to Sebastian as he was really respected by him.

Sebastian always took consideration of his opinion and less than a butler, this man was more of an uncle figure to him.

Due to personal reasons, Sebastian was not planning on attending the meeting with the King and the Duke, but the last sentence from the butler made him pause and reconsider the things.

Providence was something Sebastian had not given much thought about.

He felt that it wouldn't really matter if someone died as people usually died every single day. It wouldn't make much of a difference if they did so again.

However, a bad providence would be attached to Sebastian if he didn't attend the meeting.

He would become the sole reason for the death of half the population in this world and Heavens wouldn't let him be so free.

The Heavens were just and some or the other day, he would need to pay the price.

Sebastian rubbed his temples in annoyance as he found himself in a peril once again.

It had been so many years, just so many b.l.o.o.d.y years since he had been running and working.

There was not a single day's rest and it was killing him.

Today, when Sebastian finally thought of taking a break, there was an important meeting that would last a whole week due.

He truly was a big time miser and nothing could be done about it.

Sighing, Sebastian said to the butler, "Alright, then infor—"

Suddenly, a foreign feeling washed over Sebastian's body and made him shudder.

Gooseb.u.mps arose all over Sebastian's body and a chill went down his spine.

'What the f.u.c.k…'

Sebastian got up from his seat and as he was about to check for anything wrong, the bracelet in his hand brought a mild burning sensation to him.

Turning to look at the bracelet, Sebastian raised his eyebrows in confusion.

'It's this thing?'

Wondering if he was sensing it wrong or not, Sebastian touched the bracelet and tried to feel it, but felt chills once again.

Such sudden chills that he was experiencing were something that only occurred when he was in a dangerous situation where death was almost certain.

Taking the bracelet off, Sebastian held it and injecting some power into it, spoke,

"h.e.l.lo? Something's wrong? h.e.l.lo? Can anyone hear me? Or is it just me?"

Just as Sebastian said that, the bracelet emitted a cooling sensation and then a voice was heard.

"Sebastian, Anne, Tsuki, and Lith… If you're hearing this, then hurry up! Hurry up and inject your powers into this artifact." A familiar girl's rushed voice was heard.

"Ariel?"

"Hurry! Don't question anything and hurry if you don't want to lose your life. I'll tell you guys everything once you're here."

With that, the voice was gone, leaving behind a dumbfounded Sebastian and his butler.

Sebastian turned to look at his butler and said, "Right as I was planning to attend the meeting, this thing came up. I haven't told you about this, but just know that it is much more important than the fate of this world's population, Marco."

The butler sighed and bowed slightly. "I'll do something about the King and the Duke then, Master. You need not worry and carry out your due business."

Sebastian nodded. "Then, if you'll excuse me."

…..

Dushkarbor.

Lith had halted in his tracks and was about to attend the meeting that was scheduled, but right then, the cross earring that he usually wore, it began giving out a burning sensation.

The feeling of death intensified with the burning sensation and right then, Lith heard:

"Sebastian, Anne, Tsuki, and Lith… If you're hearing this, then hurry up! Hurry up and inject your powers into this artifact."

'Huh?' Lith knitted his brows and showed a confused expression. 'Is that Ariel?'

"Ariel? Is that you?" Lith couldn't help but ask.

Right then, a reply came almost instantly.

"Hurry! Don't question anything and hurry if you don't want to lose your life. I'll tell you guys everything once you're here."

Feeling totally taken aback by this sudden situation, Lith had no clue as to what was even happening

He wasn't the type to take impulsive decisions and do things on the spot, but given the gravity of the situation, he knew that he had to decide quickly.

This Ariel that Lith knew of, she was super smart and probably an angel too. He wasn't much sure of the latter part, but the former was a hundred percent true.

Ariel was also really reserved and barely spoke. He could count the sentences she had said in total on one hand when he had met her in Novolzak's trial.

For her to speak so desperately spoke volumes and Lith's priority immediately s.h.i.+fted to this.

Lith held the cross earring in between his fingers and thinking that he had to go, was about to inject his spiritual power and leave when…

A sudden ominous feeling made him shudder.

'What in the actual f.u.c.k? I felt scared for a second? How!?'
