Vampire's Slice of Life

934 Slipping On A Snail And Accidentally Assassinating

In a jungle, Hyunsuk woke up and looked around, scratching his head in the process. "Man… I am once again at a random location. I should stop drinking so much…"

There were stains on his clothes that reeked of alcohol and he also only had one shoe on him. However, apart from the mild loss, everything else of his was intact.

Shrugging, Hyunsuk said, "Welp, can't do anything about it now. I guess I'll just walk and see how it goes."

With that being said, Hyunsuk picked a random location in the jungle and began walking.

…..

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"Catch that bastard! Don't let him go!"

A group of angry soldiers mounted on beasts threw spears and chased after a young man in tattered clothes, who was panting but running as if his life depended on it.

Truth to be told, his life did depend on it because if he were to be caught, those soldiers were going to skin him alive!

"Huff… Huff… How do I always… huff… get into such… huff… situation?" The young man cursed.

"Stop at this instance and we may think about sparing your life!" One of the soldiers said while charging at the youngster on a giant tiger-like beast.

"I am telling you, I did not do anything! It was all a coincidence! For fucks sake!" The young man shouted.

"You still dare to say that! After almost trying to kill our leader!?" A soldier roared!

"I swear! I swear! I really just slipped on a snail and he coincidentally was near me!" The youngster cried out.

A while ago, the youngster was in a small town square. He was absentmindedly walking on a random street when he slipped due to a snail being in his path.

The poor snail was crushed to death, but as the youngster slipped, in reflex, he grabbed onto the nearest thing he could find, which was a man in luxurious attire walking beside him.

The youngster grabbed the man's collar and took him down with him, but coincidentally, there was a guy selling knives on the street side.

The man in luxurious attire got stabbed by a few of those pointing knives, but thankfully, none of his vitals got hit.

As the man cried out in pain, people from the shadows emerged out, which were none other than these soldiers chasing after the youngster.

The rest was pretty self-explanatory.

"Charge! We must get revenge for our sire!" The soldiers exclaimed and threw some more spears at the youngster.

The youngster could do nothing but cry and continue to run. He did not know how he would always land in one trouble after another!

This time, the trouble was too big and he really may not survive it!

…..

Hyunsuk, who was peacefully strolling in the jungle, stopped at this instance.

He looked down and wriggled his legs.

One of his feet had a shoe on it and the other one was bare.

"Man, it really is difficult to walk like this. I shouldn't have worn thick heel shoes." Hyunsuk stated and took off his shoe.

The walk was uneven and he felt uncomfortable due to the heels, but taking it off now, his feet were properly planted on the ground and he felt balanced.

Hyunsuk nodded. "It's a bit weird to walk barefoot, but it's better than walking with one shoe."

Saying so, Hyunsuk tossed the shoe aside and continued to walk as peacefully as ever.

…..

"Kill him! Kill him!" The soldiers continued to scream and threw whatever they could find at the youngster.

"Waaaa! I don't wanna live anymore!" The youngster cried out.

"If you don't want to, give yourself to father here!" The leading soldier cursed.

"I don't wanna die too! Waaaa—Iyaaaa!"

The youngster slipped on something again and fell down.

Thinking it was the right opportunity, the soldiers rejoiced in happiness and their beasts roared; just then, something small and brown flew their way.

"Rooaaarrr—cough! Cough!"

The leading beast felt something strike its throat and began choking on it.

In its gasping for air, it thrashed around and accidentally hit the rest of the beasts running alongside it.

"Whaaaat!?"

"What the fuck is happening!?"

The soldiers tried to control the beasts by pulling on the reins, but alas, they crashed into each other and let out angry roars.

The youngster found his opportunity and continued to run once again.

After a few seconds, the leading beast coughed out the thing stuck in its throat and it turned out to be a brown shoe!

"Curse the man's mother who lost his shoe in the middle of a jungle!" The soldier who watched the shoe being spit out exclaimed.

"Don't let that kid run away!"

"After him!"

The soldiers once again ran behind the youngster.

…..

Hyunsuk had been walking for a while now and decided to take some rest.

His feet were hurting slightly due to walking barefoot, so he thought it was better if he rested.

He looked around him to find a relatively clean place and saw one near a tree.

Hyunsuk walked towards the tree and stretched. "I'll sit here for a bit and then continue walking."

Thinking so, he kicked the pebbles on the ground to clear it and to have proper balance, took support of the tree's trunk.

Just as he placed his hand on the trunk, the wood caved in and his hand went inside, giving him a few scratches.

"Owf…" Hyunsuk exclaimed and turned to look at his hand.

As he did so, he raised his eyebrows in surprise as inside the tree, there was an empty space and within it, Hyunsuk could see a black rock idol of something.

Wondering what it was, Hyunsuk took the idol out.

Under the tree's canopy, it was relatively dim, so Hyunsuk looked around and saw a bright spot of sunlight a few meters away from the trees.

He walked there and stood under it to check the black rock idol.

The black rock idol was that of a cloaked figure. Hyunsuk couldn't properly figure it out, but there were a few ancient looking symbols on it.

Right as he was about to check those symbols, Hyunsuk heard some rustling of leaves.

Thinking some animal may be approaching, Hyunsuk was about to put up his guard when…

"ROAAARRRR!"

"FUWAAA!"

Hyunsuk heard a loud roar and then heard a loud shout of a man.

Before he could even grasp what was happening, a figure came flying towards him while screaming and in the matter of a few breaths…

THUD!

"OWW!"

"OUCH!"

That figure crashed onto Hyunsuk.

The black rock idol fell under Hyunsuk's bleeding arms and the flying figure was on top of him.

The blood oozing out of the scratched arm grazed against the black rock idol and soon…

Rumble…

The black rock idol began shaking under Hyunsuk's arms.

"ROAAARRRR!"

"We will not leave you!"

The soldiers and their beast jumped above a few trees and landed close to the youngster and Hyunsuk.

Their gaze fell on the fallen young man and thinking this was their chance, they shouted and decided to strike with all their might.

However, at this very instant, the black rock idol shook violently and broke down, emitting a bright light.

The bright light engulfed Hyunsuk and the man on top of him, then turned brighter and brighter, almost blinding the soldiers and their beasts.

The beasts roared as they couldn't see anything and thrashed around, but the soldiers were able to properly control them after they hit a few nearby trees.

Crack…

Eventually, as the blinding light dimmed, the soldiers regained their vision and turned to look at the spot the youngster was in.

Finding there to be nobody, the soldier clicked their tongue and said, "What is up with this dogshit luck?"

Crack…

As he said that, a cracking sound which was faintly heard before, was now heard clearly.

The soldiers were confused and turned to look at the source, but just then…

CRACK!

BOOOM!

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

"ROAAAARRRR!"

A giant tree fell down on the soldiers and their beasts, crushing them to flat like an omelette.

This was the same trunk which had a hollow trunk and contained the idol, which was then broken by Hyunsuk accidentally.

After the thrashing of the beasts, it cracked up further and in no time, fell down fully.

"I'LL KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER WHEN I FIND HIM!"

"AHHHHHH!"

…..

In a dark, ominous forest where the trees were gnarled and twisted, tall ancient trees surrounded a small clearing, wherein a five meter tall black rock idol of a cloaked figure was present.

Towards the base of this altar, Lith and Dennis were placed as offerings, still attached to a log like a koala.

There was a group of humanoid figures, having black tails and horns, possessing sinister auras, and cloaked in a similar way like the idol.

They surrounded Lith and Dennis, and had a wide grin on their ghostly pale faces.

"With these offerings, we can finally prepare a feast and do a summoning call! Kekeke!"

"With this, it won't be a mere legend anymore!"

"Kekeke! Let's begin, shall we?"

"Yes!"
