Vampire's Slice Of Life
chapter-542

In a random tavern of the Human Continent.

"Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen." The news anchor said on the livestream playing on the many screens in the tavern.

Drunkards, adventurers, wanderers, and many more people present in the tavern quickly put their attention on the screens as they heard that.

All around the world, people had gathered to watch the stream regarding the Seraphim and to listen to it. They had no idea that an appearance was made just to send a warning to everyone.

The stream hadn't ended yet and the people were interested to know what further things the news channels had to broadcast.

Finally, after a long commercial break, they were back to giving the news to everyone.

The news anchor, after greeting everyone, continued, "The news we're going to give you now may shock your cores, so buckle up."

The people in the tavern felt nothing from listening to such a statement. They were all immune to the lameness of the anchors.

The news anchor then said, "The decision that the War Angel has taken, many have come in support of her. One of the major ones being the Heavenly Court itself."

The people in the tavern nodded their heads as they heard that. It made sense to them since the Seraphim must be part of the Heavenly Court.

The news anchor then said on the screen, "but that's not it! Even the Demon Queen has sent out her full support to the War Angel. Here's the official statement from the Demon Court."

A document stating the words of the Demon Queen appeared on the screen with her signature being present at the corner.

"WHAT!?" Some people slammed the table and said in shock as they saw the official documents.

"HOLY SHIT! Isn't this too much for a simple warning!?" The people screamed.

The entire tavern went into an uproar as everyone felt chills from reading the document.

The document was completely opposite to the tone of the Seraphim.

Emilia had talked gently and requested people to not commit crimes. But the tone of the Demon Queen was a threatening one, stating that anyone who dared to go against the War Angel would make an enemy of the Demon Queen.

There were also some things mentioned on the document that sent chills down the spines of the people. Those things were the ways with which they would be tortured and punished in case they decided to go against the words of the War Angel or the Demon Queen.

People all around the world were having similar feelings and they all felt chills.

Their shock hadn't even ended yet when the news anchor dropped another bombshell on everyone.

They appeared and stated that it wasn't just the Demon Queen, the new Supreme Rank of the Dragons, the Death Dragon had also appeared in support of the War Angel.

They showed her official document and the people went even more crazy after reading it.

The tavern was in chaos now.

Everyone was screaming and shouting or discussing things…

Except for one person.

He was sitting in the corner of a tavern, having his brows knitted and a frown appearing on his face.

"What the hell is happening?" The guy cursed.

He had black hair and eyes, and was none other than Lucas, who had just moved out of the cave and walked into the tavern to have some food.

He too, just like everyone else, was shocked to see that there were so many people coming in support of the War Angel.

"Is it because of me?" Lucas said softly.

The warning had come out right after his mission failed. Things were matching to a high degree and this could be a plausible reason.

His shock had only just started when…

"...and this isn't it, ladies and gentlemen. There's also one more powerhouse supporting the War Angel. It is…"

"The revered Vampire Royal Clan!"

BAM!

Lucas slammed the table in front as he heard that. His eyes widened in shock and he kept staring at the screen in the tavern and at the news anchors.

He was so shocked that his entire focus was on the tv screen and he wasn't even breathing!

The news channels displayed official documents from the Vampire Royal Clan and reading that made Lucas shiver.

As he read further, his body had goosebumps appear on them and he was feeling chills all over.

Finally, as he read the end part of the document and the signature of the Vampire Queen, his body trembled even further.

Lucas couldn't believe it!

He couldn't believe that the War Angel had a connection with the Vampire Queen so soon!

He also felt great fear knowing that the mission might've really failed due to the intervention of those royals.

Knowing how close he was to causing his own demise, Lucas's body trembled even further.

"T-Thankfully… Thankfully, I was teleported away as soon as possible." Lucas said softly with trembling hands.

If he had come in contact with the Vampire Royals, even Lucas didn't know what might have happened.

Lucas sat back down on the table and poured a glass of cold water on himself to calm down.

A while later, he said to himself, "I have already crossed paths indirectly…"

"The War Angel has already been in contact with them…"

"Does that mean…"

Lucas closed his eyes as he said that and pondered deeply over things.

He then said after a bit, "...does that mean the timeline has been changed to such a high degree that my memories are useless?"

Lucas felt great sadness swell up in him as he said that out loud.

Although it was just a theory, the events that had occurred today, they were all pointing that this theory was correct.

There was no way the War Angel should've been there when Lucas attacked the kid. There was also no such warning that had appeared previously and also, when the world saw a connection between the War Angel and the Vampire Royal Clan, it was probably a few decades later.

Things were moving just too fast.

"What the hell is happening…" Lucas opened his eyes and cursed.

Just what was happening that was causing such a change in events? He had no idea whatsoever.

Everything he was doing seemed useless and all the effort he was putting seemed futile as well.

If things continued to move so fast, the apocalypse might happen even before Lucas reached half his strength from his previous self.

Lucas sighed and rubbed his temples. "Whatever… if I die… I die."

There was no point feeling gloomy, Lucas thought.

He would've died in the apocalypse previously but was given a second chance. It was almost impossible to escape such fate in this life as well.

Since he was going to die anyway, why not just keep working and see how far he could go.

Lucas ordered himself a big jar of beer and chugged it down. He then slumped on the table and fell asleep while having a hint of sadness in him.

Except for him, almost the entire world was in an uproar.

Everyone was hit with the statements from not one, not two, but four powerhouses!

The Angel Supreme, Demon Supreme, Dragon Supreme, and Vampire Supreme, out of the eight main races, the powerhouses of four had come in support of one single person!

This was just too much.

Everyone finally understood the gravity of the situation and they all swore to not do anything to the participants of the academy even in their wildest dreams.

While the world was hit with a wave of shock, the news anchors brought out some good news to them.

Everyone was told that the finalists of the academy exam could stay for free in any branch of the Nine Roses Hotel.

The people were shocked once more because all of them knew that it was almost impossible to get a room in that hotel.

Whenever people would go there, it would be said that it was reserved or booked. People had no idea how one could even reserve a room since it wasn't available online and nor was it available offline.

So being told that kids got free access made everyone jealous.

The people who were told to not harm the kids, started plotting things on how they could use the kids and get a stay in the Nine Roses Hotel.

They all were itching to see what was inside the hotel that was so special.

But their expectations were washed away with a bucket of cold water when the news anchors stated only the kids were allowed entry into the hotel. Just them, no one else, not even their family, friends or relatives.

The people clicked their tongues and dropped this idea of using the kids.

Except for the jealous people, the kids were really happy to have some place to stay.

The poor kids were in joy knowing they won't have to stay on the streets or the jungle till they entered the academy and many kids who were threatened by others also felt happy knowing they would be in a safe place.

The world was in a mild chaos once again. Some felt happy, some jealous, some sad, and there was a variety of mixed emotions.
