Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 1014 Breaking The Barrier

Chapter 1014 Breaking The Barrier

Ba-dump—! Ba-dump—! Ba-dump—!
Lucas's heart hammered against his ribs as he walked beside Lith and a Giant girl in the narrow entrance along with…
Lucas didn't dare think about who it was on the Vampire Prince's back. If he uncovered something he wasn't supposed to, things would be dire.
Even his system was warning him about this being. As of now, whoever was there was more powerful than the Vampire Prince himself and she was better left unprovoked.
'I need to get out of this situation as soon as possible.'
Outwardly he thought of this, but inwardly he was really happy.
The bitch of a system was not handing him out unwanted missions. There weren't any unwanted potion injections or teleportation either. Lucas was in bliss. It was a freedom he hadn't experienced in a long time.
Walking beside him, Lith wondered what was up with this guy.
He could hear the guy's rapidly beating heart. Being a Vampire, he was highly sensitive to Humans and could feel a lot of things that even other Humans couldn't feel about themselves or each other.
'Is he afraid? There are hardly any dangers here... what's he getting scared of?'
Berserk monsters kept charging at them and this guy kept clearing them. Though, after a point, their numbers were so astronomical that Lith had to wake the Giant girl up and intervene himself.
The girl panicked when she woke up, and calmed down within seconds as she looked around and found herself being in the dungeon her aunt was in.
Lith then took out his sword and imbued Fire elemental energy into it. The moment he did that…
The berserk beasts stopped in their tracks, surprising the ones watching them.
Lith took a step forward and the beasts backed away almost instantly.
It confused him for a bit, but he then found Lucas showing an adverse reaction to his movements.
Just like the beasts, even he was getting fearful.
Lith then realized that it probably had something to do with his aura and dropped the topic.
After that, Lith let his aura flow freely. He ensured to not let it touch Lucas or the Giant girl, and thus, he had no idea why he was still having palpitations.
With everyone thinking of different things and walking, they soon arrived in front of a particular door that was giving off dense energy fluctuations.
Opening the door, a white translucent barrier blocked his entry inside.
However, through this almost transparent barrier, he could see a tall tree, ripping apart the ceiling and growing in the middle of the room. There was a face of a sleeping lady on it.
"Aunt…" the Giant girl softly called out in sorrow.
[Warning: Do not get in touch with the energy inside.]
A warning rang out in Lucas's mind and made his brows quiver.
Meanwhile, there was no such warning available for Lith and he tapped on the barrier, making it slightly ripple.
[Warning: 'That' being might break the barrier!]
[Warning: 'That' being might break the barrier!]
[Warning: 'That' being might break the barrier!]
Continuous notifications chimed in Lucas's ears. He was so annoyed at this point that he wanted to kill himself and end everything once and for all.
The motherfucking system was not even trying to help and kept issuing warnings even though he asked it not to.
'If you can't help, then shut up!'
Lucas's patience broke and he cursed.
It was effective as the system did not hand out warnings again.
Pop!
A popping sound made Lucas and the Giant girl's heads turn. The two saw Lith pinching the barrier and making it pop.
'What!?'
The two were taken aback.
The barrier was strong. So much so that even a Half Emperor Rank might not be able to break through it with force.
How was Lith making popping sounds from it!?
The more Lucas interacted with Lith, the more he understood his own shortcomings and became depressed.
He could tell why the apocalypse was called the apocalypse now.
If such an entity, at such a small level like King Rank, could bring out his entire potential to the maximum limit possible... then how would the others of his own clan be?
'T-t-they didn't think wrongly. The hybrids of the Asura God Clan and the Evure God Clan are monsters.'
The silver hair reminded Lucas of the Evure God Clan while one glance at the amethyst eyes made him understand the depths of it were more unfathomable than the actual Asura God Clan members. He actively tried to avoid glancing at Lith and looking into his eyes.
Every moment with Lith was like walking on a bed of nails â€" no, it was more like crawling on it.
'Yeah… I think I wanna get out as soon as possible.'
Lucas thought and slowly backed away.
"Oh hey, you…"
"Hissss…"
Lucas gasped as he got called out. He hadn't even taken two steps back!
"Y-yes?" Lucas slightly stuttered, but kept his stoic appearance intact and replied in a serious tone.
"Channel your spiritual power here."
Lith had drawn a black-colored triangular magic circle on the barrier and was pointing at one of the corners of it.
Lucas could only bit his lip and obey. He gave Lith a slight nod and did as asked.
Lith then turned to look at the Giant girl and asked her to do the same.
On the remaining corner, Lith channeled his own spiritual power.
Soon…
Pop.
Pop. Pop. Pop.
Like corn kernels making a popping sound upon heating, the barrier too let out a similar sound in the whole room.
Lucas's heart raced and the Giant girl's eyes widened in shock as she saw something actually happening to the barrier.
She couldn't believe what she was looking at. What her father and grandfather weren't able to do… this man had done it. Just who was he? He didn't appear stronger than them, yet could do such a thing!
The girl's attention was diverted in a few seconds as the popping sounds intensified.
Initially, there was just sound, but as time passed, a black bubble appeared on the barrier and popped.
[Warning! Run away from the energy!]
[Warning! Run away from the energy!]
[Warning! Run away from the energy!]
[Warning! Run away from the energy!]

[Warning! Run away from the energy!]
[Warning! Run away from the energy!]
Despite the danger bells ringing in his ears and lines of words blocking his vision, Lucas persisted and didn't run away.
He was fine with whatever hell awaited him. Anything would be better than being shackled like this by the system.
Unlike him who was worried to death, Lith's face was as calm as it could be.
The spell he inscribed on the barrier with his sharp fingernail was something he had learnt from Vanessa. It wasn't direct, but in an indirect way when Fei was telling him the stuff she did and showed him a few arrays.
The array worked on the principles of vibrations. It sent really tiny string-like vibrations into the cast place and vibrated at a really high intensity.
When one string is met with a thousand, then millions, it would cause enough vibrations to make a black bubble manifest and pop.
The popping resulted in the strings breaking apart along with the barrier.
The strings came from the spiritual power of the three casters.
The array inscribed was a medium to convert the dense spiritual power into string-like pieces and inject it into the barrier.
It was quite fun. Lith didn't think it would be of any use, but he learnt it anyway. He was glad that he did because you may never know when you'll be needing it.
A photographic memory helped a lot.
Lith remembered the exact array and inscribed it, even though he had no understanding of it.
Of course, doing such a thing was highly risky.
Firstly, if the array was something made by Vanessa, it would be a unique one. She would be alerted if he used it.
Secondly, if there was even a slightly wrong inscription, it may blast right in Lith's face, killing him.
Despite such risks, Lith attempted to draw it.
Why?
Death meant nothing in this world, as long as your soul was intact.
He hadn't died yet and didn't plan to, but he wasn't afraid of it either.
Look at Alea. She died at least a few times a month and was still doing fine.
Lith should be alright with one or two deaths.
POP—!
With the final popping, the barrier broke, and a wave of thick unknown energy swept over the three people, sending them flying.
In the middle of the room, the sleeping face of the woman abruptly twisted as her eyes snapped open.
Her white pupils turned black and her calm blue eyes turned into raging red.
Lith stabilized himself before crashing onto the wall behind.
Lucas and the Giant girl however weren't strong enough and crashed.
Lith didn't care about them and looked right in front of him.
A woman was staring at him with absolute hatred and a strong premonition of death loomed over Lith's head.
'Ah… I still have this halo…'
The black karmic halo was still over Lith's head. It was invisible to everybody below Half Emperor Rank and hence there weren't people who stared at Lith and made him aware of it.
'It should be due to this.'
The sudden appearance of a strong entity didn't faze Lith. He was quite used to it by now.
Lith took big strides forward, unafraid and unfazed, while looking right at the woman's eye.
'Let's see who you are and what you're upto…'
