Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 645 Raizen Razed

?

While talks were being held in the Demon Court, Devils roamed the Human Continent freely and continued to wreak havoc.

The Humans fought back with them whenever possible and the Human Court had issued a notice to all nobles to do whatever they could to stop the Devils.

Adventurers and guilds were also notified of it and a hefty reward was available to everyone in general based on their contributions.

These things had temporarily put a halt on the Devils and didn't let them advance further into the continent from the countryside.

Main cities were heavily guarded and defense was constantly being put up for the rest of the towns and villages in need.

The situation seemed to be in a stalemate for now and the Human Court was putting all their bet on the Demon Court. 

Their Ancestor wasn't responding and his whereabouts were also not known. This was a tense situation and the Human Court only wished he would be back and handle the Devils as soon as possible.

The Humans enjoyed the temporary stalemate but just an hour later…

In the skies of the Human Continent, right above Raizen, there appeared an orange streak of light charging towards the ground.

The streak seemed dim but in just a few instances, it lit up the whole sky of Raizen in a bright orange color of flames.

"What is that…" A few people on the ground couldn't help but comment.

"What— OH SHIT! IT'S COMING AT US!!!!" 

VOOOOOOOM!

Sirens ran all over Raizen as people realized it wasn't fancy lights that colored the skies of Raizen but an enemy attack!

People screamed in terror as the surrounding temperature rose with the orange streak closing in on them. They all could tell something ominous was going to happen.

The Human Court that was situated in Raizen immediately got alerted and every Emperor Rank rushed outside to deal with the orange streak.

They didn't know what was happening, they didn't know why it was happening, and they also didn't know who it was that had the courage to attack them.

"TAKE POSITIONS!" Graham, charging at the frontlines, commanded every other Emperor Rank and moved them to create a defensive shield.

The Human Emperor Ranks had only just come out and took their position to cast a mighty defensive spell when the entire sky of Raizen glowed a dangerous red and orange.

Everyone's eyes focused above at the charging meteor and as it inched closer, people in Raizen could feel their death slowly creep up on them.

Ten seconds… nine seconds…

With each passing second, the fear in the hearts of Raizen residents intensified and it was to such a high degree that they froze on their spots and didn't move, fixating their gaze on the incoming strike.

"HURRY! HURRY!" Graham shouted while casting a defensive spell and trying his best to stop the attack.

The officials of the Human Court were trying their level best and Lucas, who was just a Rank 8 currently also put some efforts to stop the attack because he knew the intensity of the impeding danger.

'FUCK! THIS IS A DEMI-GOD LEVEL THREAT!' Lucas exclaimed in his mind as he hurriedly cast spells like Graham and the other Human Emperor Ranks.

With the changes in the surroundings and the mighty pressure that was descending down on everybody, Lucas was a hundred percent sure that it was someone at the level of a Supreme Rank who was attacking.

He was fine a few instance ago as he didn't feel much threat, but with the attack coming closer, even his legs felt weak.

Three seconds… two seconds…

"AHHHH! WORK! WORK! WORK DAMN IT!" Lucas yelled and so did the other Human Emperor Ranks as they tried their level best to deploy the protective shield.

"FUUUUUCK! WHICH BASTARD MADE AN ENEMY OUT OF A DEMI—"

One second…

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A mushroom cloud erupted right at the center of Raizen where the Ancestor's palace was.

The shockwaves spread from there to the entirety of Raizen and razed the entire capital city of the Humans to the ground.

Nearby places got affected due to it as well and a major destruction befell the Human Race, destroying everything that was within three thousand kilometres of radius.

Humongous smoke clouds erupted in the sky and the explosion that occurred in Raizen caused a tremor that could be felt far away in the other major cities of the Human Continent.

Everyone was dumbfounded with the sudden quake they felt and turned to the direction of Raizen, only to see a gigantic mushroom cloud along with tornadoes of dust in the distance.

Due to the explosion, nothing could be seen or heard in the surrounding three thousand kilometres radius. It was complete silence with dust everywhere, blocking everyone's vision.

Snap!

At this moment of despair, a loud loud snap was heard and in the next instant, all the dust cleared up.

"Cough! Cough!" 

Loud coughing could be heard once the dust was gone and it came from the people of Raizen. They were all alive and hadn't died in the explosion.

As the people came to their senses and looked around, they saw themselves to be in a huge crater around which there was nothing but destroyed property.

Raizen was razed.

Razed completely to the ground with no shards of a single property remaining.

Everything was in ruins.

'What the fuck happened...' Lucas was shocked out of his wits and in a daze.

This same thought was shared by many in the crater, the Human Emperor Ranks included.

They were all so confused and so shocked that nobody said a single word and just looked around like clueless chickens.

"How does it feel?" 

Suddenly, a melodious voice rang inside the ears of everyone in the crater.

They all turned their heads up towards the source, only to see two silhouettes standing at the edge of the crater and looking down at them with a menacing glint.

They all wondered who the two people were and even though one among the two seemed to have horns, they still couldn't guess properly.

"W-who a-are you?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.

"Me?" The person pointed at themselves and asked, a cold smile soon starting to form on their face.

An imposing aura soon descended down on everybody and with a loud thud, the two silhouettes jumped down into the crater, causing dust to rise up.

As the dust cleared, the people soon saw who the two figures were.

Everyone felt a chill down their spine as they saw them and almost the entirety of the crowd, excluding the Human Court officials kneeled down and bowed in pure suppression.

'THE DEMON QUEEN!'

The Human Court officials screamed in their minds as they saw who had arrived.

'NOOOOOOOO! FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK!' Lucas on the other hand felt shivers down to his last strand in the body.

He experienced a never before felt chill and his heart started beating so fast that it could come out of his chest at any moment's notice.

Lucas's mind went blank and his legs gave in. He immediately plopped down to the ground and lay still like a dead body.

Lucifer, looking at the state of the people, smirked.

She walked towards the Human Emperor Ranks and standing right in front of them, patted one guy's shoulder and said,

"You guys wanted an explanation from me, right? Explanation as to why the Devils are out, yes?" 

The guy in front of whom Lucifer stood, felt his legs shiver and his throat go dry.

Although Lucifer looked sexy as hell, there were anything but such thoughts in the mind of this Emperor Rank.

He was screaming internally to want to be taken out of this situation. He didn't want to face Lucifer but he also had no choice and had to do it.

The Demon Queen herself was in front of him, in case he did something stupid, he knew he wouldn't be alive anymore.

Looking at the silent faces, Lucifer smiled and said, "Why aren't you guys responding? The messages to me sure contained a lot of bold words in it. Where has all your boldness gone now?" 

"You wanted an explanation right? Ask me. I am right here. I'll answer everything."

Lith, hearing his aunt's sarcastic remarks, smiled internally.

'Who would've guessed that the lazy otaku could also do something so flashy and seem so menacing and imposing?'
