Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 114 Capture the Flag (3)

Ralph smiled as he glanced at the gathering of people approaching the tall tree he was sitting on, but suddenly frowned and exclaimed while knitting his brows, “that moron! How did he end up here, even if it was by chance? Tsk.”

Clicking his tongue, Ralph got down from the tree, travelled a few metres away, climbed on a branch of another tree, and used the Dark elemental spells to hide himself.

…

Lith used Time Acceleration on himself while casting Short Jump, allowing him to quickly reach a tree near to the taller one. He willed the Earth elements surrounding him to make the ground below him hollow, allowing Lith to sink into it.

Lith landed securely inside the ground and willed the elements to work in his favour once more. Everything returned to normal as the open region above him closed.

Lith closed his eyes and began to sense the people approaching the tall tree, waiting for his chance to strike. Even though he was capable of defeating all of them, he didn’t want to do so since he wanted to see what Ralph had planned and what Dennis was doing here, not to mention there would be no fun in it.

…

A large group of teenagers of various races approached the tall tree.

“Grr, now that we’ve arrived, there doesn’t appear to be anyone else around, what now?” The werewolf teen growled and said.

“Just wai—”

“THERE! THEY ARE THERE! ATTACK!”

Just as the demon teen was about to reply to the werewolf teen, they both heard the sound of a young girl, turning to the source of the noise, they discovered three witch girls approaching them. Waving his hands to his friends, the demon kid dashed for the Witches.

“As previously discussed, get into formation.”

The four assailants behind the demon teen moved and took up positions. As they surged at the witches, they formed a pentagon.

He concealed behind a tree and waited for the proper moment to strike. Not even a minute passed and he heard strong thumping noises.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

“ENCIRCLE THEM!” A 3 metre tall giant race teen yelled, pounding his chest and making a thumping noise.

On his command, nine people rushed towards the teams that were fighting, making the already chaotic situation even worse.

Three teams, totalling 18 people were currently fighting for the flag near the tall tree, while three people, Lith, Ralph, and the draconic kid, were hidden nearby, waiting for the ideal chance.

With the sound of air penetrating, Dennis flew forward and came to a halt near the 18 people squabbling. “Hehehe, this should be amusing,” he whispered gently while in mid-air, watching these individuals battling.

Dennis chanted a dark and water spell as he flew towards them, and when he was only a few metres away, he yelled, “Dark Swamp,” while raising both hands.

Dark and Water elemental energies fluctuated, and a dark liquid began to ooze from the ground. It rose slowly at first and also seemed highly viscous but soon picked up pace and within seconds, the highly viscous fluid almost seemed watery but the dark colour was retained.

The elemental fluctuations were sensed by the opposing teams which indicated that something went awry, but by the time they could respond, the liquid had already pinned them to the ground. The fluid’s effect was particularly noticeable on the giant.

The giants had tremendous physical power, but they lacked mobility. Their general population was not very agile or adaptable, and movement-stopping spells like this one, which Dennis cast, were one of the things which made them vulnerable.

The best case scenario was that if a giant was trapped in one spot, because if they were released, they would go on a rampage, destroying anything and everyone they could with their tremendous strength.

Dennis was a powerful rank 2, and the spell he cast easily imprisoned the 18 people, several of whom were also among the world’s most powerful rank 2s.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

“SCATTER!” The giant teen thumped his chest and roared loudly.

The dark liquid that had been holding him had been absorbed by the ground, and the giant was now free. Despite their disadvantage against movement trapping spells, giants could still break free with their physical power in most scenarios, including this one.

After getting free, the giant teen took out a large hammer from his spatial ring and charged at Dennis. He knew Dennis was the most powerful person here right now, and if he could keep him distracted, his teammates could focus on taking other people’s flags.

Dennis smiled as he gazed at the 3 metre tall giant rushing at him. He was a battle maniac who would never back down from a fight. He took out a 2 meter tall lance from his ring and got battle ready.

While the giant and Dennis struggled, the other people caught by the dark marsh worked to free themselves. Getting rid of it after a few seconds, the 17 people began fighting amongst themselves over the flags.

Ralph clicked his tongue in annoyance at Dennis’s sudden appearance, but he remained hidden. He remained poised on the tree, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

The draconic kid who was a solo player, like Ralph, made the same decision and remained hidden, waiting for the proper chance.

Lith too, had yet to make a move. He was curious about Ralph’s plans and kept an eye on the other solo player who was prepared to ambush these 19 people.

One-tenth of class A-1 was present and clashing with each other near the tall tree. This was supposed to be a strategic game in which they would use their brains rather than their brawn, but everything went wrong due to a sudden anomaly – Dennis.
