Chapter 623 Plans Cancelled (1/2)
"WHO DARES!?"
Lith sighed hearing that. "Not again…"
He was questioned about the same thing so many times now that he lost count of it.
'Why do these people say such a cliché line every damn time?' He wondered.
Lith looked around, wondering where the voice came from.
He didn't find the source, but he found a dark storm not too far away in the consciousness of the human he was inside of.
There shouldn't be storms in one's consciousness as normally, it is an empty sky filled with clouds of memories and a deep ocean beneath them, which in turn would lead to the subconscious of a person.
Different people had different forms but in general, everyone had an empty sky where the clouds were memories and an ocean which was their subconscious.
Within the oceans there would be many whirlpools, each whirlpool would depict what a person had in the deepest parts of his memories.
It was also the most dangerous one as each person's subconscious was chaotic as well as well protected. It was an innate nature of sentient beings and how well guarded it was depended on a person's strength as well as various different factors such as bloodline, soul strength, mental strength, and so on.
Lith had no intentions of exploring the subconscious of this person because firstly it was a hassle to go through the well protected region and secondly, he could pretty much find everything within the memories itself.
Walking towards the storm in the sea of clouds, Lith soon heard lightning crackle around it and finally as he reached near, he saw a giant gate in the middle of many dark clouds.
Around the gate, lightning zapped and looking at it, Lith felt it was an interesting development as the gate was definitely a seal of some sort that placed a restriction on some core memories.
Having no fear of consequences, Lith walked towards the gate, only to heard a loud screech that cursed,
"YOU DARE ENTER!?"
A shadowy figure manifested from within the gate and took form a giant that was bigger than the gate itself.
The giant had sharp teeth and bright red eyes that were scary, but not scary enough for Lith who had seen much scarier red eyes than this fellow.
The shadow screeched loudly once more as he saw Lith and cursed, "SPEAK, FOOLISH INVADER, WHO ARE YOU?"
Lith looked at the guy with a poker face, completely unfazed.
"Tone your voice down." Lith commanded. He was seriously tired of such antiques and people looking down on him.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" The shadow screeched again.
Lith sighed.
"Annoying." He shook his head and with hands in his pockets, walked towards the gate, not giving a single care for the giant shadow that was in front of him.
The shadow screeched again looking at Lith enter like that and warned that what lay inside were dangers he couldn't even think of.
The shadow also cursed Lith for having the audacity to break into the guy's consciousness.
It also laughed at Lith because the shadow was aware that breaking through the gate and removing the seal was near impossible.
Lith didn't entertain the shadow much as he was aware that it wasn't a living thing or something that could harm him.
The shadow was there just to warn Lith to not enter the gates because the consequences would be dire.
Such a thing was present at many dangerous places, inheritances, treasures, restricted zones and such were a few examples of it.
Inheritance zones would have such warning signs because not only would it keep the people away from entering, it would also save the resources that were put into traps to kill people inside.
Unnecessary killing and wastage of resources wouldn't happen and the inheritance will be kept safe.
The shadow didn't hand out much information to Lith apart from warning him to not enter. Other than that, it also laughed and said that it was uselessly warning Lith because Lith definitely wouldn't be able to enter.
From his mocking, Lith got to learn that this seal was probably made by some high level being. Who it was, the shadow didn't say and Lith could guess that it didn't have much information about it as well.
Lith soon reached the gate and the shadow cackled and screeched:
"KEKEKE… GOOD LUCK BREAKING THROUGH!"
With hints of annoyance on his face and his hands in his pocket, Lith looked at the shadow cackling and with a sigh, kicked the door.
BOOM!
With a loud explosion, the door opened and with visible horror on his face, the shadow cursed,
"WHAT!?!? HOW!???"
Lith obviously wasn't here to entertain this guy and ignoring him, made his way inside.
The entrance was indeed made by some high level being, Lith could guess.
But who was he?
He was the ruler of all vampires who possessed all the secrets, techniques, manuals, and resources of this world.
Even if this was a well built seal, it wasn't something Lith wasn't aware of.
The shadow had thought Lith wouldn't go past the gates, let alone through the entire seal inside.
But much to its surprise, Lith easily broke through.
Ignoring the shocked shadow's face, Lith continued to walk inside and went to the core to remove this restriction and see the sealed memories.

Human Court, Raizen.
The court session was going on and all the top officials were still here, discussing the plans for future.
Their ambitions were at an all time high with Lucas showing them more and more dreams of where they were the sole rulers of all races and had everyone beneath them.
Everyone was having a good time in the court, except…
'Hmm?' Graham, sitting at the front seat of all other Emperor Ranks, suddenly felt slight sting in his mind.
Surprised, he closed his eyes to see what the problem was, only to open his wide in a split second, with shock visible all over his face.
"STOP!" Graham stood up from his chair and shouted in the court, making everyone turn silent and look at him.
The fun that was going on in the court and the high tides on which the Human Emperor Ranks were surfing, soon crashed down with Graham spoiling the atmosphere.
"What happened, Graham?" Darren asked, having near seen Graham be so shocked and sweaty.
Graham was indeed sweating without even knowing as he was really nervous and shocked.
Listening to Darren's voice, he slightly calmed down and after apologizing for losing his calm, his eyes turned serious and said,
"Ancestor, everything needs to be stopped."
"Immediately!"
"What!?" Such a statement from Graham surprised Lucas and he stood up from his seat and questioned immediately, without giving a damn about decorum.
Graham instantly turned his face towards Lucas as he heard that and said with all seriousness, "Sit down, kid."
Lucas was no more than a young teenager with high ambitions in Graham's view and even if he had given out good plans and had a heaven-defying potential, Graham didn't give a single care right now.
After addressing Lucas, Graham turned to look at Darren and continued,
"Someone already knows that Humans are involved in the conflict of Elves. We need to abort all plans right away or things would be bad."
"What!?" This time even Darren was shocked and shifted to the edge of his seat.
Graham nodded. "I do not know who this person is, but he has the ability to break through a seal made by me."
"How!?" Shock would be an understatement that Darren was feeling, but he still composed himself and asked, trying not to show that he was panicking on the inside.
He was the Supreme of all Humans, he had to keep up a facade that he was the strongest, both mentally and physically.
The reason for Darren's shock was naturally knowing that someone broke through a seal made by Graham.
Graham was the second strongest Human in the whole world, if the Supreme Ranks weren't counted.
Someone breaking through his spells meant that either the person was a Supreme Rank or a much stronger Emperor Rank than Graham himself.
The possibility of the latter was extremely low as Darren knew Graham was at the peak of Emperor Rank.
Not to mention, he ranked third among all the other Emperor Ranks present in the world, ranking just behind the Witch Queen named Hecate and the War Angel Emilia who stood at first.
This was the official ranking of the Emperor Ranks, meaning the Emperor Ranks took part to gauge their strengths voluntarily, those who didn't bother with it were not known by anyone in the world.
For status and fame, everyone took part into this ranking so Darren knew that there shouldn't be any Emperor Rank who was left out.
The only possibility he thought of was there being another Supreme Rank at play.
His thoughts ran wild and he even thought that it may probably even be the Elf Queen. If it was her, then...
