Vampire’s Slice Of Life

Chapter 966 King Rank Tribulation (2)

The bird screeched in a high pitch voice and charged at Lith, feeling really angry for being tricked.

Its beak aimed for his head, wanting to pluck it off from his body like a flower from its stalk.

The moment it closed in Lith, he once again vanished from his spot, his attacking stance nowhere to be seen.

Space fluctuated and Lith appeared out of thin air at a distance, smiling and nodding his head.

"Perfect. To confuse the enemy, you must confuse yourself first. I successfully gaslighted myself into thinking Space can be used as an offence, and the stupid bird might've thought that as well."

The bird, in fact, had not thought of anything. It just found Lith and wanted to break him to shreds. Lith was overestimating its capabilities.

Lith smiled and once again took an attacking stance. The bird let out a shrill cry and flapped its wing faster than before, turning into a flaming rocket as it charged.

Its flames were capable of burning anything that came in its path and its force was enough to make a hole in a mountain.

The moment the bird appeared closer to Lith, it suddenly stopped and turned around, knowing he was going to vanish anyway and appear elsewhere.

Lith was dumbfounded by this and raised his eyebrows. 'I think I gaslighted the bird so hard, its IQ points have increased… in the negative numbers.'

Shaking his head, Lith smiled and said, "Space can actually work as an offence. Here, eat this Spatial Blade."

Lith slashed the air in front and with loud swishing sounds, a purplish-dark space tear appeared in the front in a crescent shape and rushed at the bird.

The moment it touched the bird's body, the bird monster let out a loud screech and rocketed away.

Lith didn't fail to see what had happened.

The Spatial Blades had actually sent a part of the bird's body into the void. They were really effective. Sadly, they couldn't be used often as they consumed a lot of spiritual power.

Lith needed to save the spiritual power to fight his internal tribulation and also to untangle his elemental energies.

As the bird has distanced itself, he fully focused on untangling the Death energy which was causing some major problems.

He focused on one strand of gray and channeled it down into its respective elemental core.

The elemental energy resisted and other elemental energies interfered, but as it was a small strand, Lith had better control and sent it down to its elemental core.

Lith made swift movements and before the bird attacked him again, one-fourth of the Death energy had been untangled.

The tribulation monster seethed with rage as chunks of its body had been torn off from existence.

It thrashed around and charged at Lith again, this time also sending flame vortexes at him by flapping its wings.

Lith dodged and kept running, all the while untangling the Death energy.

It took a few minutes, but he finished doing so. Life energy turned more chaotic as the equilibrium was broken and to Lith's surprise, it collaborated with Earth energy, resulting in thin vines to form within Lith's body and spread everywhere.

Lith felt a prickling sensation all over him. It was as if something was crawling under his skin. It was bizarre and Lith wanted to get it off, but thankfully, Destruction energy came in a clutch and destroyed the vines, making Lith sigh in relief.

His moment of distraction led the monster to near him again, but at the last second, Lith vanished once again.

At this point, a change occurred in the sky as nature sensed Lith had untangled his second elemental energy.

With the loud rumbling of thunder, a red portal opened up and from it, a humanoid creature, having the head of a boar and holding an axe slowly descended down.

This humanoid figure looked at Lith and with a loud growl, dashed at him with its axe.

'Shit… the aura is powerful,' thought Lith and used the Death element, summoning dark creatures and making them charge at the boar.

The dark creatures were summoned in a rush and couldn't put up much fight. They took two attacks from the humanoid boar and disappeared from existence.

Lith got just about enough time to summon a powerful creature. He did so and an orc-like creature wearing heavy armour, wielding a shield and a club appeared on the ground.

It grunted and air appeared beneath its feet, taking it to the humanoid boar.

Sending a powerful opponent coming at its with a killing n

Intent, the humanoid boar snorted and dashed at it, swinging its sword to split its body in two.

The dark orc used its shield and defended against the attack. The humanoid boar grunted and slammed its head on the orc's, pushing it back.

The dark orc swung its club at the boar, but it used its axe to block it, then charged at the orc head-on.

The dark orc once again used its shield and stopped the boar for a split second.

The boar tore through the shield and pierced its sharp curled tusks into the dark orc's eyes.

For a second, the boar was still, and this second was enough for Lith to appear behind it and send a Spatial Blade, cutting off the boar's head and killing it.

The use of Spatial Blade once again decreased Lith's spiritual power, but nothing could be done about it. Summonings due to the Death element were even more spiritual power consuming.

His spiritual power was almost halved and this was not a good sign.

Lith grunted, but persisted against the attacks of the monster bird.

Soon, his spiritual power slowly restored itself and with its help, he untangled another element, this time it was Destruction energy.

Nature sensed it once more and a blue portal formed among the dark thundering clouds.

From it, a small dot seemed to have appeared.

This dot zapped and within a few seconds, a tiny figure appeared in front of Lith, hitting his chest with something that sent a current through his whole body, and sent him crashing downwards.

A loud boom occurred as Lith hit the ground, a crater forming in his place.

Lith was yet to process everything when the small dot went to the dark orc, touching it and sending lightning current within it, thereby making it explode.

Lightning flashed in front of Lith's eyes and his body was convulsing, still not recovered from the previous attack.

The monster bird finally found an opportunity and charged at him, the small dot did so as well.

'This damn tribulation… Is it even a King Rank one at this point?'

Everytime.

Every. Single. Time.

The tribulations had been unfair when it came to Lith's ascension. They were far too strong and broke records for being the strongest in each realm Lith ascended from.

Why was this the case even, Lith did not understand. Why were the heavens so against him? Wasn't he a Chosen One? Shouldn't it actually be lighter on the tribulations when it came to him? Why was it so harsh, what was it trying to achieve?

Litn grunted and spat a mouthful of blood at the side, his death suddenly nearing.

From the spectator stands, Alea tried to rush to his side, but slammed into the invisible barrier.

Hitting it, she shouted, "Nooooooo! This can't be it! Little cousinnnnn!"
