Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

Hundreds of thousands of thoughts crossed Lith's mind each minute and although it was taking a toll on him, he didn't falter and continued to think as much as he could.

In this way, a good while passed and the external force's control soon became weaker, eventually giving Lith the control of his own consciousness.

As Lith gained control of his body, in the vast expanse of darkness, behind the slightly cracked barrier, the immortal core trembled.

It shook slightly with each passing moment as Lith gained control of himself and as Lith had more and more control, the immortal core shook even more intensely.

The small crack on the barrier started spreading and as time passed and Lith gained more control of himself, the cracking intensified and more light from the immortal core seeped out. ????????????????ℯ???????? c????????

Back on Lith's side, he was having the time of his life despite being in a pickle.

"Maaaaaaaannnn… I've got so many things to do! I really need to get out of this place! I need to go!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

"Get ouuuuuuuut— oh wait, I should stop screaming like a wolf. I am not a wolf. I am a vampire!"

Having thousands of thoughts each second would make anyone appear like a lunatic and Lith was no exception to it.

If the calm and composed him was shown the replay of his thoughts in future, it was a hundred percent guarantee that he would cringe and think if it was really him.

Nevertheless, desperate situations need drastic measures and so what if he somehow turned into a lunatic temporarily? Being that way was better than being dead.

While he fought to not let anyone control him, outside in the Astral World, far below him at the base of the golden beam of light…

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Arya dodged all of the incoming attacks and sent three spheres inlaid with destruction energy towards the enemies in front of her.

There were ten people surrounding her and Arya had fought her way from the top to the bottom.

There were no enemies left at the top and there were only people at the bottom.

These ten were the remaining ones from the numerous others killed by Arya. There were more coming but currently, these guys took more priority.

The destruction energy ball sent by Arya was small when she sent it but soon became massive in just a few moments. The people were surprised by this sudden intensity of attack and immediately took a defensive stance.

Three spheres went in three different directions targeting three people each.

Mine people got to defending against the attack while the remaining one, before he could even decide whether to help his teammates or attack Arya, suddenly felt a sharp pain at his side.

He turned to look there and just as he turned, he saw Arya's beautiful face before he could see what was happening at his side.

In the next moment, Arya's face was gone and he saw everything around him turn upside down and then back to normal and back to upside down.

A few instances later, everything turned dark and he lost his life.

Arya, after sending the three spheres, charged towards this guy and sent him a kick at his side. The moment he noticed something wrong and was about to look, Arya sent another kick at his head and severed it from his body, eventually killing him.

The way Arya killed, it was not sure if the people had died or not. But whatever the case, they at least aren't a hindrance temporarily and that was better than nothing.

Arya went to attack the other people who were still busy defending and as she fought them, there were more people coming towards the base of the golden beam of light.

It would've been tiring to fight these many people but Arya had the determination to save her husband and she didn't want anyone to hinder the process. Thus, she put in all her work and fought people seriously without doing anything else.

Arya's mood was serious today and she had already ended up killing a hundred people. Despite that, the numbers of the people coming towards the base didn't seem to decrease and they kept on coming like tides.

Arya looked up towards Lith in the air and hoped, 'Please be okay, I'll come back as soon as I finish this.'

Arya went back to fighting the tide of people closing in after saying so.

Crack!

The barrier in front of the immortal core had many cracks appear on it. It was evident that whatever Lith was doing was working.

The immortal core shook vigorously as well while the barrier had cracks appear.

Immortal cores are something unique to a person and despite there being n number of beings in the universe, the core would all be unique.

It was the same as how one person was different from the other and is an unique existence in itself.

The cores are also only formed when one is undergoing ascension to reach the immortal realms. Before that, there wouldn't be any sign of the core forming and the person wouldn't even know the existence of it.

However, Lith's case was special.

For some reason, he already had his core formed.

Although the core wasn't a material one, it was something that was formed in his subconscious mind and the vast expanse of darkness all around it was Lith's subconscious.

His immortal core, despite being formed, wasn't connected to Lith. This was simply present in Lith's mind and even Lith had no idea who it belonged to or what it was doing.

He didn't even have an idea that he was falling and falling deep into his own subconscious and getting swallowed by it.

The one to blame for all of this was of course the external force that Lilith's future self talked about.

Lith was still in his subconscious mind and the barrier that sealed Lith's core from Lith was nothing else but his own connection to his core.

The better connection he had with his core, the more the cracks appeared in the barrier.

The external force wasn't allowing Lith to have a connection and it only made Lith appear here in this state as it wanted Lith to ascend.

Ascensions are a time when one is vulnerable. It was for this reason that people always ensured they ascended in a secluded place.

The external force was taking advantage of this.

The moment Lith was in his subconscious and he touched the barrier to break it, it was a step towards establishing his connection with his immortal core and he underwent ascension to a higher rank.

The external force took him out right at this time and Lith's condition was thus very pathetic a while ago.

But now…

Everything was going good.

It was all thanks to Lilith who ended up destroying his core, Lith underwent immediate ascension once again and was momentarily out of the grasp of the external force.

Lith, when he touched the barrier, he was undergoing his ascension to Half Saint Rank.

Although Half Saint Rank isn't an immortal realm, it also isn't a mortal realm and is a bridge between the two.

It is in this rank that a person takes his time to ensure the proper formation of his immortal core and the core the person has in this rank was something in a semi-immortal state.

The transitions are usually smooth and people had no difficulties. They solidify their foundation and ascend to immortal realms from this stage.

In Lith's case however, he was following the normal path and undergoing ascension like everyone else.

As he was undergoing ascension to Half Saint Rank after touching the barrier, Lith's core got destroyed and it never had a chance to form.

At this point, a person might be crippled for life and become a mortal with a very tiny lifespan but this turned out to be a boon for Lith.

His immortal core in his subconscious found an opportunity to link itself to Lith after his original core was destroyed and this caused Lith to come out of the grasp of the external force.

Not only did that happen, Lith was now undergoing ascension to Saint Rank, a proper immortal and he ended up skipping his ascension to Half Saint Rank all thanks to many ups and downs that took place.

The barrier was the only thing that was stopping Lith now and once it cracked fully, Lith would end up becoming a Saint Rank.

The way to break it was simply to suppress the external force invading Lith's mind and to have a full fledged connection to his immortal core in his subconscious.

Lith was doing just that by having accelerated thoughts and just like this, time passed and…

Crack!
