Chapter 1113 Spirits

1113 Spirits

SLAM—!

Lith slammed the door open and walked out. He thought something might attack him the moment he walked out, but such wasn't the case. "Be careful." The lady behind Lith said as she put her guard up and walked with him. Lith took quiet, small steps, and tried to make his way out of the shrine. The shrine was dark with the only light illuminating the place was the moonlight. The dark was not a problem for Lith as he could see everything clearly due to being a vampire. A few steps together with the lady, Lith entered one of the rooms of the shrine. It was at the end of the hallway and Lith entered it in hopes of finding a back door that would lead him outside. It was deathly silent around here and even a soft footstep could be heard loudly. The lady could not see, but feeling Lith's cold body wandering around and his movements as well as breathing, she took all the correct steps.

The room was dark with nobody or anything in sight. The moonlight had stopped entering the place Lith was in, but through the edges of a door, light seeped in and Lith thought of it being the exit.

Slowly... Lith approached the door.

Slowly...

The door creaked open.

Slowly...

A bathroom illuminated brightly with the moonlight came into view. Slowly...

Lith walked in.

Slowly...

As he turned his head...

In the corner of the bathroom...

There it was...

A small girl with twin pigtails...

Hugging her knees and fidgeting back and forth. Lith's heart began thumping loudly, enough to have it reverberate in the entire bathroom.

The noise of the intruders caused the little girl to stop fidgeting. Lith felt his scalp tingle. For the first time in a long long while, never-before-seen emotions were slowly erupting.

Crack... Crack...

"Youguys..."

"...finallycametoplay?"

The words kept coming out of her mouth as she slowly melted.

The two dark beside Lith had not moved an inch. Something told him that gazing at them for even a split second could cause him his dear life. Lith continued to stare at the front, at the remains of the melted girl, and began chanting a holy spell. "KAAAAAAAAA—!"

"KAAAAAAAAA—!"

Two loud screeches made his eardrums burst. He bled from his ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, but kept chanting the spell.

A bright holy light covered his entire body and slowly spread out. The two creatures beside him screamed again. They inched closer to his body and continued to scream, sending chills down Lith's spine. As the chanting came to an end, the spell was fully casted, and the screeches had stopped. Whatever the two creatures were, had vanished from their spots. Feeling somewhat safe, Lith turned around to look at the lady from the sect. The moment he turned, all the hair on his body stood on their ends. Continuous bone chilling dread spread throughout his body as he looked at what was standing behind the lady.

It was tall, dark, with rough black fur. Where a face should be were two oval slanted eyes, and a long, long blood red tongue. Its sharp claws were pointed at the lady's chest, as if ready to tear them open. Lith gulped a mouthful of cold saliva and stared at the unknown creature. A moment later, a pair of claws appeared in front of his chest and slowly touched him. It felt sharp. It made him understand that his body could be pierced at any second. "I... told... you..."

A whisper rang in Lith's ears. It came from a bit of a distance. "...not to... leave... the room..."

A woman walked towards him from the front. She was walking backwards, with her head twisted to look behind along with her toes. It was the priestess.

She appeared right in front of Lith and locked her eyes with his. "I... told... you..."

"...not to... leave..."

The words did not sound like a lady's as she continued and turned into demonic screeches.

Chills never stopped and Lith kept feeling them all over his body. The woman's pristine face turned into something indescribable, and she extended her long tongue out and screeched, "Shouldneverhaveleft! Shouldneverhaveleft!"

The claws pierced Lith's chest and blood dripped out of his body, slowly falling down on the ground with drip-drop noises. Never had Lith felt so clueless and confused about a situation. Everything was happening so fast that he was baffled and could not react. As the claws dug deeper, finally, a change occurred. Lith's eyes rolled back as his entire body turned cold. A golden hue spread out from within and soon... exploded outwards and sent all the resentment spirits flying. Lith's body took off and floated in the air as an aura purer than a pope's extensively spread across the area. The spirits screeched, howled, and shouted in sheer agony as their bodies melted with the aura. The escort lady was dumbfounded and wished she had eyes to witness what was happening. Lith's survival instincts kicked in after being placed in an absolutely dreadful situation, making him go berserk. He lost his rationality, and before entering this state, had thought that Light elemental energy can kill these people, and hence had Light energy ooze out from every pore of his body. A vampire exhibited extremely holy power and sent it charging in all directions, causing loud explosions, and destruction. In no time, the shrine was flattened and the entire area was purified.

Lith's body floated up in the air, his eyes still rolled back, and he began making hand movements.

"KAAAAAAAAAAAAA—!"

First hundred, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands, and then a million souls screeched and emerged from the small area around the shrine, and from within the shrine. They were a dirty gray and wandered around, screeching, and scratching each other with their non-existent claws. Lith's robes fluttered in the air and looking down like a mighty being, he muttered:

"Moksha."
