Vampire's Slice Of Life,Chapter 116 Capture the Flag (5) - Read free novels online

“Don’t rejoice after winning a battle, for the war isn’t over yet.” Ralph, the pink-haired teen with eyes of similar colour but of a slightly darker shade, wearing the academy uniform, said, looking at the collapsed draconian teen.

Ralph was watching the whole chaotic situation from afar. Striking when Dennis was busy with Gunther was the best moment, but before he could proceed, another player joined the fray, foiling his plans once again.

Though that was the case, Ralph wasn’t worried about it as what the draconian teen did only made the work easier for Ralph, as instead of having to sneak and steal the flags, he only had to hunt down the draconian teen. It was more efficient, thus, he let the teen run free with the flags for a moment.

Ralph, having an affinity with the Space element, could cast Short Jump like Lith too, therefore, teleporting and catching the draconian teen wasn’t a difficult task for him. As he arrived near the draconian teen, Ralph cast a rank 2 dark spell – Sensory Collapse.

The spell, like its name read, collapsed all senses of a person, putting them into a comatose state temporarily. Since it was only a rank 2 spell, the effect barely lasted for a minute, so after finishing his job, Ralph left the area.

…

‘It was so chaotic. The draconian teen struck at the correct time and I think Ralph probably wanted to do the same but was a bit late and improvised later. Heh. Ralph, just how many things went wrong for you today?’

Lith thought to himself while hovering in mid air with his wings extended out. He had already come out of hiding when he saw Ralph make a move and followed him.

He kept thinking about how he would make fun of Ralph for his numerous plans being thwarted today. His gaze strayed on the individuals standing near the tall tree while he did so.

“Did you find the flags?” A demon teen asked.

“Grr, don’t disturb me. If I had, I wouldn’t be searching right now.” The werewolf teen replied, growling.

“Oh hey, come look at this everyone!” A teen shouted while standing in front of Dennis’s lance in the crater.

Everyone turned their attention to the teen who had just yelled. Though time was of essence and they should be searching for flags instead of doing other useless things, their curiosity got the best of them by seeing Dennis’s lance that the teen who shouted was pointing at.

The lance, even from far away, looked undamaged and devoid of stains. It had been through two explosions and still being in pristine condition made the curiosity of the students pique. They wanted to know what the cause was and since a teen pointed towards something, they thought he might know a thing or two about the lance.

“Stop stuttering and get to the point.” A witch teen said impolitely.

“Yeah…well, everyone, this lance, isn’t it the same as the one found in training arenas in the academy?” The teen standing in front of the lance said to everyone.

“Hmm?” A teen hummed and raised his eyebrows. He went down into the crater and arrived in front of the lance. He looked at it closely and widening his eyes in surprise, he yelled.

“HOLY SHIT! IT REALLY IS THE SAME!”

“What!?” Everyone muttered.

One by one, many came down into the crater and looked at the lance. They all gasped, looking at it in shock and surprise. It seemed unbelievable to them that a common lance could be this durable. One of the teen who couldn’t believe it, muttered while sweating profusely.

“T-this couldn’t be i-it. This is de-definitely an artifact that looks the same.”

A few people nodded their heads in approval as they too thought the same. The teen in front of the lance sighed and said, ” Let me prove it to you then.”

Saying so, he grabbed the lance and held it with both his hands. He used a bit of force and the lance snapped in half.

Gasp!

Everyone gasped hard once again in shock. The snapping of the lance just proved that the lance was an ordinary one they found in the training arenas. Everyone present shivered uncontrollably as they remembered Dennis’s prowess, making them fear and respect him once more.

If an ordinary lance could wound a highly dexterous giant so much, what would happen if they were hit by an actual high grade artifact coupled with Dennis’s prowess? Everyone felt a shiver down their spine thinking so. After calming themselves down, they all moved away from the crater and went back to searching for the flags.

Lith looked at this scene in silence as he thought to himself. ‘When will my turn come to flex like this and shock people?’. Shaking his head, he soon got over it as those were just his passing thoughts.

Moving away from the tall tree after this small event was over, Lith headed towards Ralph, who had the most flags on him right now. He had already planned on collecting all the flags in the competition by doing his best in the assignment.

He had the ability to do so and failing to do such a simple thing would be an insult to his years of training that he did with his sister and mother. It would also mean wasting the natural talent he had and he didn’t want to let this happen.

Lith always ensured that whatever actions he took, none of them ever brought shame upon his family. Thinking of such things and about family, Lith chuckled, thinking of a quote he suddenly remembered from his past life.

It was from a movie where a bald guy who loved cars stated the quote: ‘The most important thing in life will always be family’.

It was only now did Lith realise that the bald guy was right; family is everything, and he felt a little guilty for laughing at memes made by people regarding this quote in his past life.

While overthinking about useless things for a few minutes, Lith had already reached near Ralph. He stopped thinking about any other stuff and thought of a way to take the flags from Ralph.
