Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 950 Saintess Helen’s Sacrifice

Chapter 950 Saintess Helen’s Sacrifice

A loud silence resonated in the church's area.

Every humans' heart palpitated in panic as they watched a devil break free from the restraints of Light.

Throughout their life—the belief that Light would overcome darkness and erase all evil was etched deeply in their hearts.

But it did not take even a second for their lifelong belief to shatter as this devil descended in their world.

As terror surged in their whole being, some extreme believers couldn't take it anymore and exploded on the spot.

Faith was a major thing, no matter which world.

A firework of human flesh occurred in Holy City Thames—an event every human of this world would remember.

Saintess Helen's face darkened further, an uneasy feeling swelled in her heart.

Looking at the otherworldly being in front, her years of experience screamed that she should not mess with him.

However, her duty as a believer of Light forced a part of her to exterminate this vile being.

Frictioned between the two, Saintess Helen felt the world around her spun.

She somehow managed to hold on and sighing, said in a soft tone, "I understand. I'll take full responsibility regarding this matter. Whatever punishment you wish to bestow, please leave the worshippers aside and give it to me."

"Saintess!" An archbishop cried out.

"Saintess you cannot give in to the devil's—"

Saintess Helen raised her hand.

Everyone fell silent.

"I am still talking." Saintess Helen said with an air of authority around her.

Lith looked at this woman with an amused expression.

Saintess Helen continued, "I'll face the consequences on everyone's behalf, however, you have to promise to leave this world and give up on that stew."

Saintess Helen was aware that their side was stronger as compared to Lith.

If the church went all out, Lith could be defeated. However, many would perish and there would be a great destruction of life and property.

Not to mention, this person also had companions.

The church would be severely weakened and won't have the means to deal with those guys. Hence, it was best to avoid a war if possible.

Being a Saintess, Helen naturally knew more about things than the rest. Her perspective was wide and she was well-versed with warfare.

"The best war is the one which isn't fought."

It was a belief deeply etched in Saintess Helen's very essence.

She thus tried to negotiate and stop the doom this world was about to face.

Lith was really fascinated by now. All the annoyance he had regarding these guys was gone and his focus lay fully on this lady standing in front.

She was an interesting person, on par with the Angels of his own world.

It was not easy to sacrifice yourself for the greater good of the rest. At the critical moment, most backed out, and very few actually stood tall and faced the predicament in front.

Feeling interested in her, Lith stared into Helen's deep brown eyes.

His amethyst pupils spun and ancient red letters began appearing on them.

Momentarily, Helen's vision spun and she found herself dizzy again.

This time, she couldn't stand still and had to be supported by a few holy knights beside her.

Lith activated his ability [Paradigm Perception] and stared at her.

A bright golden flame flickered above her head. There were also many golden strands wrapped around her, which stretched high up in the sky.

To which place it was connected, Lith didn't know.

Lith let out his killing intent and focused it on Saintess Helen.

The golden flame flickering above her head dimmed and turned to a small wisp.

The strand stretching up in the sky suddenly turned black. It unwrapped itself from Helen and coiled around Lith instead.

Raising an eyebrow in amusement, Lith retracted his killing intent and decided to spare Helen's life.

The black strand uncoiled, turned golden, and wrapped itself around Helen again.

'Interesting…' Lith thought and cancelled his ability.

Saintess Helen regained her composure and didn't feel dizzy anymore. She stared at Lith with a befuddled expression.

Lith squinted his eyes and said, "If you are going to sacrifice yourself, then so be it. I'll spare the rest. Come with me."

Lith didn't wait for Helen to respond and taking out a rope from his ring, threw it on her.

The rope wrapped around Helen's waist on its own. Lith held the other end and flew high up in the sky, vanishing instantly from Holy City Thames, dumbfounding the people standing.

Everything happened so fast that people realized the Saintess was gone after a few seconds of Lith's disappearance.

"Saintess Helen!"

"Your Holiness!"

The church members screamed on top of their lungs, bawling their eyes out.

Many ran towards the direction Lith had disappeared to, but alas, it was all futile and they lost track of him.

…..

Far away from the Holy City Thames, in a mountain range, space fluctuated and Lith teleported out with Helen in tow.

This rope was a Supreme Grade artifact which required just a bit of spiritual power to activate. Once bound to the enemy, it would immobilize them completely, sealing their cultivation, and making suicide useless too.

In adventures such as these, Lith's background as the Prince shined the most. He would get to use various treasures from his clan and understand its might as well as display it to others.

Such a simple artifact but contained such profound power, it was truly amazing.

Saintess Helen was dumbfounded and stared at Lith with wide eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't eat humans." Lith said nonchalantly. "Anyway, I have to say, you're really dumb to sacrifice yourself like this. Do you suffer from some chuuni main character syndrome or something?"

"???" Saintess Helen did not understand a single word Lith said and stared at him in confusion.

Lith didn't talk to her more on this and sat on a protruding rock.

"Hmm… I seem to be forgetting something…" Lith said out loud.

Saintess Helen kept quiet. She did not know what fate awaited her and being in the presence of such a strong being, it was better to shut one's mouth.

Lith shrugged his shoulders after some thinking. "Well, if I forgot then it probably wasn't important…"

Meanwhile, in human territory…

Stealthily standing beside a wall in an alley, Shi breathed heavily.

The sound of metal clamouring resounded in the air as ten holy knights rushed from the road beside the alley.

"Huff… Huff…" Shi tried to calm his breathing. He looked up at the sky and said softly, "Master… Where are you…"

Thud!

"Meowww!"

"Hisssss!"

"What the fuck…" Shi cursed under his breath as he watched two cats fall down in a garbage bin, then start fighting.

"What's the noise?"

"It seems to be coming from there!"

"Quick, rush!"

Shi was startled. "Fuck!"

He turned to run away, but just then,

"Hisssss!"

"Meeeoooooow!"

"Ahhhhh!"

An orange cat leapt on Shi's face, scratching it and making him scream.

The holy knights, hearing the scream, appeared in the alley.

"Found him! Deploy the net! Deploy the net! Don't let him run this time!"

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Shi didn't hear the holy knights as the cat slowly slid down his body while imbuing its nail in his skin, scratching him deep and tearing apart his clothes.

Watching the hanging orange cat, the black cat fighting with it jumped on Shi as well, scratching him further and making him scream.

Soon, the holy knights deployed their nets and trapped Shi as well as the two cats.

The cats, feeling their threatened, meowed loudly and aggressively scratched at the nearest thing they could find, trying their best to escape.

"Ahhhhhh! Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The nearest object was naturally none else but,

Shi.
