Vampire's Slice Of Life-Chapter 939 Shocked Hyunsuk And The First Mythical Ingredient

Shi's scream made Hyunsuk turn his head to look at their Master.

The moment he did so, his eyes widened in horror.

In front, his Master's ever so handsome face was disfigured. Half of his body was gone and only now did he notice that his organs were spilling out.

A chill went down Hyunsuk's spine and he puked. This time, he couldn't stop himself from doing so.

Shi, after his initial scream, felt the scene to be too unbearable and passed out on the spot. He wasn't as strong-willed as Hyunsuk.

After puking until he couldn't anymore, Hyunsuk wiped his mouth and once again turned to look at his Master, wanting to see whether he was dead or alive.

Even though Hyunsuk did not have any glimmer of hope, he still decided to confirm it for himself.

As he turned back, the horrifying scene was back in his vision.

However, much to his surprise, the spilled contents of his Master's body were slowly pulled back within him. This shocked Hyunsuk and made him rub his eyes.

'Am I dreaming?' Hyunsuk thought to himself and continued to stare.

Slowly but surely, the intestines and everything were back in their place.

The missing half of Lith's body started repairing itself and his disfigured shape was slowly recovering too.

It took around fifteen minutes, but he recovered fully and there seemed to be no signs of any damage on him.

Hyunsuk once again rubbed his eyes and even pinched himself to check whether he was daydreaming or something.

How can this be possible? He wondered. Not only was his Master's body recovering, even his clothes did so!

What sort of magic was this?

Soon, Lith's eyes fluttered and he opened them with a grunt.

The first thing Lith saw was Hyunsuk's worried face. "Oh, you're alright. Good."

Hyunsuk was dumbfounded again. Master, it's not me who you should worry about, but you yourself!

Even though Hyunsuk had many things to say, in the end no words came out of his mouth.

He lent a hand to his Master and made him get up.

Lith patted his clothes and looked around.

There, he saw Dennis's disfigured body.

"Ssssss… That's too much damage." Lith gasped.

Hyunsuk blinked in befuddlement and wondered whether his Master didn't just say that.

He was the same guy a few moments ago! Master, do you have any self-awareness!?

Lith's gaze then fell on the passed out Shi. Even from a distance, he could feel his breathing and guessed that he was just unconscious.

Being a Vampire, Lith was really sensitive to Humans, and guessing Shi's vital status wasn't difficult.

Lith ignored Shi and then walked up to Dennis.

He tried to summon some healing pills from his ring, but found it unable to do so once again.

Shaking his head, Lith decided to use Life spells to heal Dennis, but on another thought, decided against it.

It was better if he concealed his elemental affinities. He had already displayed that he possessed Lightning and Space ones, and he didn't want to increase this number to a great degree.

Since Dennis was a Vampire, Lith simply cut his own wrist and let blood flow into Dennis's mouth.

He made the blood flow properly into his mouth, then into his stomach, and when was done, waited and watched.

Hyunsuk watched the whole scene without blinking even once. He was too curious to know what his Master was doing.

In front of Hyunsuk's eyes, he saw Dennis's disfigured body speed up its healing process.

It was already healing like Lith's, but the process was much faster now.

The all broken bones were joined back, all tissues were put together, and the disfigured shape was back to being normal.

From a cold pale to a healthy pale, Dennis's complexion returned to normalcy.

And like Lith's, his clothes repaired themselves too.

Soon, Dennis's eyes fluttered open and he saw Lith and Hyunsuk staring at him.

Unlike Lith, Dennis let out a relieved sigh and said, "We succeeded."

Lith nodded. "Seems like it."

Hyunsuk blinked his eyes and wondered whether it was him who found this situation crazy or was he himself crazy.

In any case, he couldn't help but ask, "Master… How are you alive?"

This was not asked with ill-intent but out of pure curiosity. Lith could feel it from Hyunsuk's tone.

He smiled and was about to answer him when,

"Ahhhhh! Ghost! Ghost!" Shi suddenly woke up and started screaming.

Hyunsuk turned his head to look behind Lith's towering figure and saw Shi scream after having a look at Dennis.

Then, Shi passed out again.

Dennis titled his head in confusion. "This is one strange fella."

'You're the strange one!' Hyunsuk exclaimed internally.

Even though Shi had shown cowardice repeatedly, Hyunsuk felt it was a justified reaction now.

Anyone would be shocked in such a situation, this was nothing out of place.

Ignoring Shi, Lith shook his head and then turned to Hyunsuk. "Well, the reason why I'm alive is—"

"Your Highness, look at that!"

Lith's words were once again cut off, this time by Dennis's comment.

Hyunsuk's eyes twitched and he wondered why only during this instance something had to come up.

Was it a coincidence or was it on purpose? He couldn't figure out.

Lith turned to look at the place Dennis was pointing at and saw a bright orange hue in a passage.

"I'm sure of it. That's an entry to the outside!" Dennis said and started walking towards the passage, carrying Shi on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

Lith and Hyunsuk started walking as well and soon, they saw stairs leading to a bright, warm place to an entrance.

Dennis was excited and began walking towards the entrance. Unfortunately, the moment he took a few steps, he activated a trap and got an arrow to pierce his head.

Thankfully, Shi was dangling on Dennis's shoulder and didn't come into the line of fire.

Now, in normal circumstances, a person should've died immediately, but in this one, Dennis turned around and said with an awkward smile, "Be careful, Your Highness, there are traps."

Dennis then pulled the arrow out of his head and blood spurted out like a waterfall, but stopped in a few seconds and he was back to normal, as if there was never an arrow that went through his head.

Hyunsuk was completely shocked out of his wits and did not know what to even make of this.

Who even were these guys? How come they didn't die from arrows straight to their heads? What was this? Where could one have a body like this? Hyunsuk couldn't help but wonder.

Lith patted Hyunsuk's shoulder and said, "You don't try this. You'll immediately die."

Of course I would! Hyunsuk cried out internally, but had no change in his expression on the outside.

Hyunsuk did not express himself much, but today, he was feeling one shock after another. However, due to his personality, all the emotional changes were internal.

It was a pity that Lith and Dennis couldn't see it. They would be really amused and entertained otherwise.

For safety reasons, Lith passed the unconscious Shi to Lith.

Lith sent a small electric current to shock Shi and eventually woke him up with a stupor.

Needless to say, Shi once again screamed after watching his dead Master come to life, but Lith slapped him and shut him up.

Eventually, Shi shut his mouth and began quietly following behind Lith while poking Hyunsuk and asking him how come these two are alive with hand gestures.

Hyunsuk merely shrugged and continued to walk. He had no idea himself.

While walking, Dennis warned about a series of traps and evaded all of them.

He wholeheartedly believed in the saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Thus, he did not commit the same mistake twice.

The four passed through the entrance and stopped to look at the scene in front.

A bed of rocks lay in front of them, and in the middle of this bed, through the cracks, bright orangish light seeped out.

Not only that, they found themselves in a cave with an exit.

At the end of the bed of rocks, they could see the setting sun and a sea.

The breeze from the sea echoed in the cave, amusing Lith and Dennis.

At this moment, Lith recalled the riddle:

"In the caverns where whispers echo, find the gem that cradles the fire's glow. Amidst the silent stones, it slumbers deep, a treasure guarded by shadows' keep."

"Seek the southern reaches, where the sun bids farewell to the day. A hidden entrance unveils the path; venture with courage and the gem will reveal its warmth."

The setting, the situation, the sight… It all matched the contents of the riddle.

This cavern had properties that made even the breeze from the sea echo in their ears, it went without a doubt what would happen if they were to whisper.

Next, the gem being talked about was probably beneath the bed of rocks and it was what emitted a fiery glow.

Lith had come to the south, in the devil territories, and the sun was setting in front of him. They had also come here through a hidden entrance, and as for the line which said: "…treasure guarded by shadows' keep…"—Lith guessed that it meant it was shrouded in mystery, its whereabouts unknown.

It was true, its whereabouts really were unknown. Even the natives of this world did not know about these ingredients.

As for the devil which caused Lith and the rest to come here, Lith had a feeling that even he did not know.

It was because Lith could not feel any aura besides the gem's in this place. It had been like that since the time Lith was near that water cave where he and Dennis were unconscious.

Looking at the gem, many emotions swelled up within Lith. He sighed and said, "We finally found one mythical ingredient."
