Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 850 This Ain’t The 21st Century

Demons were a race of creatures that brought a great headache to the rest of the races.

Their vile ways of doing things along with their carefree nature was something many disliked. Add to that, they openly did everything to fulfil their desires.

Demons were supposedly one of the strongest races as per the Grand Lust Sovereignʼs inheritance and werenʼt to be trifled with.

It was exactly due to how extreme their cases were that other creatures who may have strayed from their normal moral paths were termed as demonic.

Lith didnʼt exactly know if this world was going to be hit with a Demon invasion, but he did have some rough clues to such a thing happening.

People wouldnʼt disappear for no reason so suddenly as Demons werenʼt so dumb to give out hints openly.

If they had started acting now, then this meant their plans had begun and it wouldnʼt be too long until a full scale war.

The question now was about whether this world was prepared for such a war or not.

From what Lith could decipher in this small village that was Dushkarbor, people were strong enough, but didnʼt know the right techniques to use their strength properly.

It was probably because things were peaceful here and the people had barely any need to train.

Lithʼs assessment upon arriving in this world to think of it being in a peculiar state was correct. If nothing was wrong, then there wouldnʼt be a summoning like that.

He had done whatever he could in the past one year to improve the peopleʼs strength and with a war that had a high possibility of happening, Lith had to put up some extra efforts and prepare.

”Lydia and Idina, prepare a meeting with the highest officials of the kingdom. I have something to discuss. Make sure to have everyone be available in the council complex tomorrow morning. The rest, follow me and do what I say.” Lith ordered everybody.

The ladies nodded their heads in understanding and did as Lith asked.

Lith walked out of his house to prepare for the meeting tomorrow and check up on the rest of the people of the kingdom.

He had to assess their strength and weaknesses to formulate a perfect program that could boost their strength in the shortest periods possible.

As there was a tournament going on, strong people from all over the kingdom were here in Dushkarbor to compete, bringing forth a perfect opportunity to do an assessment.

Thus, from afternoon till next dayʼs early morning, Lith busied himself in assessing the people of the Nishkavert Kingdom.

Ornate chandeliers casted a warm glow while the mahogany interiors brought a luxurious tint to a certain throne room far away.

Demons with varied horns, tails, and appearances wearing fancy clothing sat in this throne room.

Their appearances and sizes were really extreme, ranging from the ugliest, shortest to the tallest, most handsome.

A mighty dark throne with shades of blood red rested on top of a big platform. It was currently empty and hence the discussions went on in absence of the ruler.

”I say we proceed as soon as possible.” A short demon, appearing like a goblin, said in a rough voice.

”Thatʼs not for us to decide.” A demon with a goatʼs head stated. ”His Majesty has been away for a while and nothing can be executed without his orders.”

”When His Majesty is absent, Lord Nazdek is in command. And Iʼm sure he approves of this request.” A humanoid demon with red eyes said calmly.

As he mentioned that, everyoneʼs attention shifted towards a person at the far end of the room, sitting close to the throne.

It was a handsome blonde-haired demon with a tall figure and sharp black horns, wearing a black suit.

Nazdek, the handsome demon who was the center of attention, calmly stated, ”Do not make haste.”

The room fell silent from his comment and many frowned in response. They didnʼt like what they just heard.

Nazdek was an authority and although he had said it indirectly, his words meant that he was against the idea of whatever everyone was discussing in the room.

”Lord, we have been preparing for so many years. Why stop now?” A demon sitting near Nazdek asked.

There was a strict hierarchy in the room and the lower authority demons were not allowed to question the one in command.

However, the ones close to the throne were exempted from this as they were almost equals in front of the Demon King.

Nazdek, calmly shifting his gaze to the demon that questioned him, replied back, ”A summoning has been performed, a variable has entered.”

The demons in the room showed a surprised look.
