Vampire's Slice Of Life,Chapter 179 Capturing Liam(2) - Read free novels online

Auckland city, Villmer.

The Emperor’s palace, residence of the Novius family, an Emperor rank family of the Human race, was in chaos right now.

People were frantically looking for the intruder throughout the palace. It wasn’t just them; the head of the family, Graham Novius, was also on the lookout for the intruder. He had his senses spread out, but still couldn’t find anyone.

Graham came to a halt near a circular pillar after failing to locate the intruder. He slammed his fist into the pillar beside him and said while gritting his teeth,

“Just who is it that dares to intrude upon the Novius family’s residence? And how was the person able to bypass all security? It’s difficult for even an Emperor rank to bypass it and arrive inside. Just who is this person?”

Graham had such thoughts, but soon he cleared them and moved to search for the intruder. The questions were important, but the priority currently was to find the intruder.

….

“Graham is closing in on us and this ability of mine will have its effect wear off in a few more seconds. You’re on your own now. Good luck. If you do survive, come to Ducky’s Treats someday and I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Mikhail said to Lucas, who was currently holding the unconscious Liam. Lucas looked at him and said nodding his head,

“Our deal is complete now. You just had to drop me till here. Your ability to bypass security restrictions and even evade the senses of an Emperor rank is very good. It helped a lot. It’s time to part ways then, Mikhail. I’ll see you again someday in the future. Until then, goodbye.”

Mikhail nodded his head and teleported away from Lucas and towards Graham Novius. He teleported right in front of Graham and instantly took out a club from his ring and hacked it at him.

Graham couldn’t see him at all, nor could he make out about him teleporting. He didn’t pick up anything, as there were no magical fluctuations at all. However, by the time he realized this, the club hit him hard on his chest and sent him flying.

Thankfully, Graham had a very high magic rank and his body naturally was strong too. If it wasn’t the case, he would’ve definitely had the club pass right through his chest. Graham only suffered minor injuries due to having a strong body constitution, and another thing was, Mikhail didn’t hit him too hard to cause any damage because he wasn’t here to duke it out with Graham, but just to stall for time.

Despite the blow, Graham bounced back quickly. He could now see the intruder in front of him, and upon closer inspection, he realized he had used something to conceal his presence for a few moments. Despite looking at his figure and face, he had no idea who he was and assumed he was a disguise of someone.

Almost all the people in the world, be they criminals or high officials of a particular race, all stayed together in peace and harmony after reaching emperor rank. There was hardly anyone who would go ahead and attack another Emperor rank.

Fighting at such a level was pointless and it would always last for hours. They were not only time consuming, but also boring. Plus, nobody had any major conflict with any other Emperor rank, so they never resorted to fighting each other.

Graham was thus a bit surprised to have an Emperor rank fight with him. He attacked the person and fought with him and during this; he tried to converse with the person about why he was attacking him and intruding on his property, what did Graham do, what enmity did they have, etc.

Mikhail didn’t respond to Graham and simply clashed with him. His ability’s cooldown period was almost over and he could get out of this mess easily with the help of that. So basically, he was just wasting time by engaging Graham in a fight with him.

….

Kinzo Islands, Uklov.

Lucas quickly teleported out of the Emperor’s palace and onto these islands. He did that because he knew the staff of the palace would find him sooner or later, thus he had to rush things. He chose Kinzo islands while teleporting and not the academy because he didn’t want any pursuers to know that he was studying in Abalax World Academy.

If word got out about this, he would lose a lot and would constantly need to be on the run. Thus, he chose to take another route and brought Liam here. However, just as he was rejoicing and was about to capture Liam fully, space fluctuated around him and many people teleported out of thin air and encircled him.

They looked at him and said, “scum, how dare you kidnap young master Liam like that?”

Lucas rubbed his temples in frustration and annoyance. Just how did these people track him? Was a thought that crossed Lucas’s head. However, in the very next instant, Lucas realized it was his own mistake that brought him to such a position.

He kidnapped Liam, and that was easily done. However, he had no protective gear on him that could hide his tracks from other people. He had Liam with him and the people from Emperor’s palace surely weren’t dumb. They may have put something or given something to him that helped them in tracking him, and this thing allowed them to track Lucas easily.

Lucas sighed and cursed himself for not being smart enough to realize what was going on. It was embarrassing for him that he had forgotten, and it was only now that he realized what the astrologer had said was correct.

This mission indeed had a very high chance of failure. He also realized that this would’ve been done easily had he taken the academy route. The pursuers would surely know that it was someone from the academy, but pinpointing it would become a lot more difficult.

Lucas then remembered that the astrologer had given him a scroll, but when he opened it, there was nothing written on it. He recalled, however, that the astrologer had instructed him to tear it when the sun touched the horizon and it was the end of dusk.

Lucas looked around and saw that it was indeed such a time. He was amazed by the astrologer’s prediction however it lasted for just a few seconds since now was not the time to think of such things.

Lucas took a deep breath and tore open the scroll. He had no better option on him right now, and this seemed to be his only hope.

Soon, space fluctuated, and a gray vortex was formed behind Lucas. Within a few seconds, Lucas and Liam both got sucked in it and disappeared from their spots.

The people standing in the circle were dumbfounded looking at such a scene. They couldn’t believe that someone just ran away, right in front of their nose. They panicked and instantly tried to search for Liam via the special means they used previously. However, it didn’t work and Liam’s location was unknown. This meant bad news for them, but good news for Lucas.
