Chapter 297 Learned from past mistake
Looking at the blissful look on the faces of the people in front of him, Lith knew they were at their peak of pleasure and in their most vulnerable states.
He had a bow and an arrow in his hand. They weren’t extraordinary but perfectly fit for Lith who was a Rank 3. He couldn’t use artifacts that were way above his own rank as that would result in harming his own self instead.
The only thing that stood out among the bow and arrow were the talismans attached to both the bow and arrow. These talismans were Destruction spell equipped talismans and they only helped provide one thing—absolute offense.
These talismans were constantly absorbing Lith’s spiritual power in them despite being ready to be used at any given moments notice.
Lith had gotten them for free from Scelestus since he was an Amethyst Card Holder and the mission had people of Rank 9 and above present in it. These talismans would boost Lith’s strike by at least five times the original value that he would put in.
Everything said and done, Lith was now on the edge and was ready to fire his arrow.
A few seconds passed and he finally saw the three to have reach their peak pleasured states.
As soon as Lith heard that the clan head’s wife was going to climax, he yelled in his mind:
‘Now!’
CREEK!
The arrow pierced through air and space creating a loud creeking noise and shot towards the three people.
The three people felt alarmed as they heard this but before they could even react—
BOOOOOOOM!
They saw a bright light in their visions followed by an ear piercing loud noise. In the next instant, everything blacked out for everyone.
The building in front of Lith got absolutely destroyed and so did a large chunk of the Duram Tea Peak’s top.
The tree Lith was on previously was destroyed as well but thankfully, Lith had already teleported a few kilometres above in air.
Lith looked down at the destroyed chunk of the mountain and searched for the three people.
He soon found the three to be present a few hundred meters from the destroyed chunk of the mountain. They were lying at the base in a half alive state.
Their bodies were almost destroyed and they were barely hanging onto their lives.
The one in the worse condition was the clan head’s wife who was almost at the brink of her death. She had tried her best to move the three away from the place of impact but since the arrow was shot at her, she had to take the full force of it and bear the brunt.
Lith obviously had learned from his previous mistake. He would never repeat the same thing that had happened with Liam.
Last time, in anger, he forgot to cut off Liam’s Magic Core connection with the world and killed him, causing him to resurrect again.
He learned from that past event and so, he only imbued enough power in the talismans and the arrow to make the Rank 9 clan head’s wife be almost dead but not enough power to have her killed.
Lith willed the Space elements around him and teleported close to the clan head’s wife.
The clan head’s wife couldn’t see Lith but could perceive him. She extended her almost burnt hand towards his legs and said in a extremely hoarse voice,
“w-w-wh…y…?”
She couldn’t understand who would’ve tried to kill them. They were in the Senzal Clan territory and her along with Vaan and Eian were people who had little to no dealings with the Kenzal Clan or the Shadow River Sect.
The two powers wouldn’t go so far to kill them in their own grounds like this but someone just tried that and she thus asked why someone did such a thing.
Lith ignored her and squatting down, he put a few talismans on her Magic Core. He then imbued his spiritual power and soon a red colored orb slowly came out of her abdomen.
The lady screamed in pain but that caused her injuries to worsen and her voice box to shatter completely, making her unable to scream anymore.
Vaan and Eian beside her were in a similar but slightly better states. But they were unconscious and couldn’t see the terrified expression on their aunt/mother’s face.
The core was finally out of the lady and Lith put it inside a small box.
He then snapped his finger and caused the reddish-black flames of Hellfire to erupt and engulf the lady’s body.
Lith then walked towards Eian and repeated the same thing and killing him completely as well.
He finally walked towards Vaan and before killing him, he pondered whether Vaan would be a useful servant to him later or not. He did seem like a serious guy but then he realized that Vaan was someone who could easily be swayed. His aunt had coaxed him so many times into doing the deeds with her, this wasn’t a good thing.
Lith killed Vaan off as well for this reason.
He now had three Magic Cores, one red colored Rank 9 core and two yellow colored Rank 7 cores.
He imbued some spiritual power into his teleportation token after finishing up and teleported straight to the Nine Roses Hotel in Espat to let them know of the mission completion and collect his reward.
He had no need of doing so since he was an Amethyst Card Holder but he was free and so he went over there.
After Lith left the Duram Tea Peak, the officials of the Senzal Clan arrived there as they noticed the phylacteries of the three people to have been broken and so was their life tablet. ?
They knew that three members of their killed and had also estimated the place where they were killed.
They had rushed to the Duram Tea Peak as fast as they could but now that they did arrive here, they noticed that there was no one present here. Not even a trace of the three clan members was present.
They investigated and noticed the fluctuations of Destruction element being present.
The Senzal Clan head stood at the destruction elemental fluctuations and in a melancholic mood, he said in a heavy tone,
“Rest in peace, my beloved wife, beloved son, and my beloved nephew.”
The clan head was an ordinary black-haired man with a clean face.
But right now, his ordinary face had a dangerous murderous expression and visible sadness.
He wanted to do nothing but rip apart the person who had taken his closed ones away from him.
He stayed silent for a while to mourn the passage of his wife, his son, and his nephew and after he was done, he turned his head to the side and said to the person beside him,
“Check who was responsible for this thing. Take help of the wiitches if needed and pay any amount they want. I want the answers as soon as possible.”
“Understood, sir.” The man beside the clan head said and left to work on it.
The clan head stared the space in front of him and said softly,
“Enough is enough.”
“It’s time for war.”
……
Nine Roses Hotel, Espat.
Lith walked into the luxurious hotel and as soon as he reached the reception and was about to ask the receptionist a few things, he saw the receptionist to make a panicked face and immediately call someone.
Lith wondered why she had such an expression but soon, right in front of Lith, another gorgeous receptionist appeared out of thin air.
Lith recognized her. She was the one who had escorted him to the dining hall where Arya and him were supposed to have dinner.
He wondered why she was here and what she was doing here.
The receptionist walked towards Lith and bowing to him, she said:
“Greetings, sir. Please excuse our incompetence to not have welcomed you properly.”
“Eh?” Lith was surprised hearing that. What did they mean by incompetence? How else was he supposed to get welcomed?
Also, why would he even be welcomed? As far as he knew, nobody except for a select few vampires and the people in academy knew of Lith’s face. So chances of this lady who lived in the Neutral Continent knowing about him true identity were little to none.
If she didn’t even know he was the Vampire Prince, why would she welcome him? Lith wasn’t able to understand that.
The receptionist continued, “can this servant know of sir’s visit? This servant would try her best to help sir.”
Such formality and subservience…
Even the servants in his home didn’t do that.
But Lith didn’t call the lady in front of him out for that or it would really create an awkward atmosphere. He would correct her later when they are in private, he thought.
“I am here to submit a few things on the 49th floor.”
The receptionist immediately realized why Lith was here. It was probably because he was an assassin of their organization and might’ve just completed his mission.
Understanding that, she said, “understood, sir. This way.”
She stood straight and escorted Lith towards an elevator.
After Lith got in, she got in as well and pressed the buttons for him.
Reaching the 50th floor, she escorted him to a certain private room.
She entered inside without knocking.
A chubby man was sitting inside the room and smoking cigar but as he realized someone had broken into his room, he got annoyed and was about to ratt the person that did that out.
But as soon as he saw who had walked in, he immediately got up from his chair and being flustered, his cigar fell down from his mouth.
He ignored that and hurriedly said to the receptionist with a bow:
“G-good evening, madam.”
