Vampire's Slice Of Life

BOOM!

One more crack appeared and the barrier broke completely!

The light from the immortal core shined in all directions and it immediately disappeared from its original place.

*

Astral World.

Lith's aura exploded once again and this time it was far more stronger than before.

Lilith standing near him also felt it and noticing that, she flashed a small smile while a drop of tear fell down her eyes.

"He made it…" She said softly while wiping the tear off her face.

Lilith then felt her connection with Lith become stronger slowly and having ensured everything was fine with him and he was undergoing his ascension safely, she looked down to see what Arya was doing.

Lilith noticed Arya fighting tides of people and she didn't seem to have any difficulty doing that.

"Although she's having no problem fighting those people, she'll miss watching baby's ascension if she continues to fight them. I don't think it would be nice."

Lilith then looked at Lith and said softly, "Ascend safely, I'll be back in a bit."

Lilith dropped down towards the base after saying so and went towards Arya.

*

Down at the base of the golden beam of light, Arya did a flip to the side and dodged the attack coming from the front.

She then sent a counterattack and moved to fight another person.

While moving, she thought, 'There's no end to them. So troublesome. Despite killing everyone I encountered, I still haven't been able to finish this and go up. Tsk.'

Arya jumped over the head of a person as she finished her thoughts and sent a lighting bolt at the person's face who was close to her.

Arya was about to send another attack towards another person when…

Zwwwipppp!

BOOM!

A lightning bolt appeared and killed and reduced the person to ashes.

Soon, more and more bolts appeared and everyone around Arya was killed.

The people coming closer also got killed in the vicinity of a thousand kilometres in radius, nobody was left alive.

A few moments later, Lilith's figure appeared right in front of Arya and before Arya could ask anything, Lilith held Arya's hand and said,

"Let's go. There's no time to waste."

Lilith immediately charged upwards after saying so, without giving time to Arya to even process things.

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Lucy, Alexandra, and Emilia, sitting around a round table, were oblivious to what was happening to Lith in the Astral World.

Although Lucy was sort of not in a good mood as her mother forcefully sent her out and she had no idea why she would do that.

Lucy wasn't angry at Lilith for doing this but she was also not happy. She wanted reasons.

As for Alexandra and Emilia, they had no idea what Lilith and Arya were doing in the Astral World and Lucy also hadn't said anything to them about it.

They could only just look at their screens and see what Lith was doing.

There was a point where Lucy, Alexandra, and Emilia saw Lith to be still as a statue. This made them wonder what was happening with him and this stillness continued for a long time.

Such a thing worried Emilia who was experienced and she felt something was off.

However, before she could go check him, Lith's aura exploded out and his clothes got ripped off.

The impact was so strong that the place he was sitting on had a small crater form and the surrounding walls, had they not been equipped with magic circles, would've been damaged.

Lith's spiritual power went into a frenzy and near his abdomen, the three could see a small silver ball of light appear.

Looking at him, the three realized that he was undergoing ascension and they sighed in relief and continued to look at him.

*

In the Astral World, near Lith's abdomen, a bright silver ball of light appeared. It became larger as time passed and its radiance was so bright that inside the golden beam of light, a part became completely silver.

This phenomenon made the people all over in the Astral Realm curious and many who didn't want to move towards the light, moved.

Many were watching the light curiously and the ones who did have an idea about it, all thought just what type of a genius was there in the light and what was he doing.

They also wondered just how powerful was the person over there.

Their curiosity increased as time passed as the silver light was starting to overpower the golden light.

They all left everything they had to do and merely stayed still and watched Lith.

*

Lith, amidst the darkness, felt something come close to him.

It was a bright dot coming closer and closer.

This felt familiar to Lith and soon, before he knew it, the immortal core was right in front of him.

"Hmm? Did I get close to it or did it come to me?" Lith wondered.

Lith walked close to it and decided to touch it. Previously, he was sent into some other place for touching the barrier and so he knew that the answer to get out was definitely to touch it. There was no other way.

Walking close, as soon as Lith touched the transparent ball in the middle, Lith felt himself get sucked into a vortex and felt his head spin.

Soon, it was complete darkness in front of Lith's eyes and a moment later, as soon as Lith opened his eyes, he saw a silver radiance all around him and far away was a gray world.

"Oh, I am back?" Lith looked around and said while also noticing whether he was alive or not.

He then felt a warm feeling near his abdomen and looking down, he saw a bright ball of light.

This once again felt familiar to Lith and he knitted his brows.

Lith crossed his legs and sat in a lotus position in mid air. He then meditated and looked at what was wrong with his core.

As soon as he saw his core…

"WHAT!?"

Lith couldn't help but exclaim in shock!

His core was gone and there was nothing present here except a bright ball of light!

But his initial panic soon went away when he felt a connection in his mind to something.

Lith had an instinct that he had to summon that 'something' and Lith did just that.

The bright ball in his abdomen appeared the same as the bright dot from before and having experienced it twice, Lith thought about something coming closer and closer towards him.

In just a matter of a few moments, Lith soon saw the immortal core from before.

'So it was mine all this while?' Lith had a thought.

It was pretty strange for him to see a core before it was even formed, and that too, his very own.

He also had no idea how he was having an immortal core when he was ascending to Half Saint Rank.

But keeping all his questions to the side, he focused on his ascension first.

Whatever was the case, his immortal core was there and he had to ascend now.

Ascensions in immortal realms were really risky and they were also something that everyone had to be wary of and prepare against beforehand. Those were:

Tribulations!
