Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 1034 You Can Kill Me Now



Chapter 1034 You Can Kill Me Now

A cool wind swept past the green-haired girl with glasses.

She opened her eyes and looked around.

"Eh? Why do I not feel scared anymore?"

The thing she was going to do was dangerous and she lacked courage. Yet, all of a sudden, her worries had vanished. She was confused but did not have the privilege to wonder about it.

A black box the size of a closed fist appeared in her hands. It was shaking and seemed like it would explode any moment.

The girl knew she had to hurry. The sender had strictly asked her to make haste as the box was a ticking time bomb. It could engulf even her if she didn't make it on time to the recipient.

With some quick thinking, she decided that the best way to deliver this box would be to charge straight ahead towards the cloaked figures.

She didn't have a movement artifact or invisibility potion, but she knew a spell that could temporarily make her unable to stand out.

She cast it on herself and ran right ahead. Being as small as a bug in comparison to the Giants, she totally went unnoticed. If someone had their spiritual sense spread out, they might detect her.

Fortune was on the girl's side today as she made her way to the base of a towering hill. More correctly, towards a Giant whose blonde locks of hair touched the ground. It formed a maze with the strands acting as yellow curtains.

Thankfully, the girl didn't need to go through this maze and greet the person. The sender instructed that the delivery would be done when the box touched the recipient's body. Even a strand of hair would work.

"Huuuuuf…"

Sucking a cold breath of air, the girl bent her waist and swung the box at the person's locks.

She didn't look back and ran with all her might. There was nothing that said something bad would happen, but with how her luck was, something bad was definitely going to happen.

BOOM—!

The box burst apart and red droplets of an unknown liquid splashed everywhere.

The once yellow strands were dyed red, and with it, a loud roar shocked everyone in the city center!

The hill behind the girl rumbled. The subdued Giant woke up and broke their shackles, letting out a loud roar once again.

"You dare!"

The first mustached Giant thumped his chest and roared as he charged towards the cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure's hood came off and one could see a warrioress with a fierce look in her eyes. Her previously blonde hair only had patches of it remaining as red took over.

As she swayed around, red droplets spread from her hair and fell on the nearby Giants.

The mustached Giant threw his fistt at the Giantess's face. The woman did not avoid it and charged straight ahead, getting her teeth and nose broken.

The mustached Giant could not celebrate for one upping the enemy for long as he took a punch to his guts.

The Giantess's goal was to harm him. It didn't matter if it came at the expense of her own life.

Blood dripped from her wounded face as her left cheek swelled up to a painful lump.

She did not show any signs of pain and elbowed the mustached Giant's neck, choking and suffocating him.

Rumble… Rumble…

The nearby Giants on whom the red droplets were splattered awakened into a frenzied state. Through them, the red droplets spread further to the crowd in the city center, worsening the situation.

"W, what's happening?!"

"Shit, those guys are crazy!"

"Runnnnn!"

"Don't let the droplets hit you!"

Amidst the earth-shaking rumbling, the girl stumbled in her steps, got up, ran, stumbled again, got up, ran, and stumbled again.

She couldn't keep her feet stable and she didn't have enough spiritual energy to cast a spell to keep her stable.

'Ah. Ah. Ah. I knew it! I knew it was really shady!'

The girl bit her lips and tried not to cry while running.

'It's over for me! It's over! Aaaaaahhh-!'

As regret came tumbling down, and despair shot up, the girl had a glimpse at the consequences of her actions.

Death.

She was going to die. Definitely get killed by the Giant officials and beheaded publicly.

'Dear god, please listen to my prayer one last time. Please. Please. Please.'

Having no hope, the girl resorted to praying to an entity which may or may not exist. Knowledge about god was not known. Everybody only knew that they granted wishes in exchange for offerings, devotion, and love.

Trying to pry into the matters of god was seen as blasphemy. The girl did not have a death wish, and she wouldn't offend the authorities of the world just to get some knowledge which may not even be useful to her.

'Dear god… I'll… I will… I will give you half of my evening porridge too! Please help! Please help!'

The girl's ears were flooded with stomping and clamoring noises of the Giants running around. Lots of dust rose up, blocking her vision and stinging her eyes. Her face twisted in pain and her body went into complete survival mode.

A few steps away, it was then. The girl heard a buzzing sound pass by her ears, followed by a faint ear piercing noise that was getting distant.

BOOOOOM—!

"Aah!"

A big explosion sent shockwaves throughout the city. The fragile girl stumbled and was planted face down on the ground.

"Imfts omfher…"

'It's over.'

'This is probably how I'll die.'

'Haaah… I am dying on an empty stomach. It's the absolute worst. Fate, oh fate, why must you be like this? Couldn't you wait till I ate some meat and had my belly full? I wouldn't have any regrets about dying by then…'

"Hafmhhaha…"

With her face still planted on the ground, the girl let out a muffled rueful chuckle.

'—Who am I kidding… I would've still cried out and had regrets. Haiz, is being an immortal really not my destiny?'

"Huuu…"

The girl decided to look at the sky one last time before passing away.

She rolled to the side and lay flat on her back.

Her glasses broke apart and all she could see was a hazy blur.

"In the end, I couldn't even see the sky properly…"

The girl extended her hand out towards the clear blue sky with a faint smile on her face.

"…well, doesn't matter. I did what I could. Dying now will probably give me some solace. Who wants to live a long life anyway?"

"Solace can't be achieved once you die."

The girl heard a clear soothing voice of somebody.

"It can't be?"

She didn't panic when hearing the stranger's voice. She had already accepted her awaited death. It was now a matter of time.

This person was probably someone related to her present quest. It could be from her employer's side or perhaps a Giant official who found her.

Who knows who he was.

Even if he was a big shot, it didn't matter anymore. As long as she gets a painless death, all was good.

"True death is when you vanish from existence. Nothing of you remains. So if there won't be you, there won't be emotions to perceive or the solace you're talking about."

"Haha…"

The girl chuckled while still staring at the sky with her hand extended down.

"…so in the end, nothing matters, huh? Sounds touché."

The girl was silent after her comment and the stranger didn't speak either.

In the distance, the Giants could be seen screaming and fighting with each other. The ground was still shaking due to them, but thankfully, the girl was away from their area of battle. She didn't have to worry about being turned into meat paste.

"Say, stranger. Can I make a request?"

"Hm?"

The girl smiled softly. Her crystal green eyes slowly seemed to be losing their liveliness.

"Can you give me a painless death?"

"Actually, can you buy me some meat, let me eat it, then give me a painless death?"

"Hmmm… no… can you perhaps let me take a shower, wear clean clothes, eat some meat, and brew some potions? All potions I make, you can have them. All I ask for is a painless death after that."

"…"

Silence ensued once again as the stranger didn't speak. Only the Giants who were fighting could be seen.

The girl chuckled after a few seconds. Tears leaked from the corner of her eyes, which she rubbed off with her index finger.

"Haah… it's quite audacious of me, isn't it? And also quite stupid. Who in their right mind asks their killer such things?"

"I should've probably gone 'aaaah' 'eeeek' or 'kyaaa' something when I heard your voice. And I should've probably said something like: 'please spare me, I'll do anything for you.' Maybe you would've taken pity on me hearing that and defiled me until you were satisfied, then thrown me in some dumpster from where I could start a new life."

"Hehe, sounds quite a cliche sad story."

"Too bad, I didn't let out these reactions and said these weird things instead. You must be thinking that I'm really crazy by now. But do you know? They say that you are not you when you're hungry. I haven't had a scrumptious belly full meal in my entire life. I've always been in a state of half full. My stomach grumbled and pained me so much, but there was nothing I could do about it."

"Since I was always hungry, does that mean that I was never my true self?"

"Huhuhu… what a strange thing to ask. Sorry about that. I won't take any more of your time. Please kill me and about your day. Oh, but please make sure to burn my whole body after I die. I can't ask you for a cremation, but I hope this is the least you could do."

The girl's emerald green eyes had almost turned colorless. There wasn't a single speck of sparkle within them.

"The only reason I ask you for this is that I've heard stories about Dark affinity perverts. They can apparently do necromancy and make a dead be back to life something. I don't wanna turn into such a monster and be defiled. Che. Sounds so creepy. I would rather kill myself a second time than have something like that happen."

"—Aah… sorry, I went a bit off topic there. Anyway, you can kill me now. I'm ready."

The girl looked at the world which was nothing but blurry one last time, then closed her eyes.

'This is the end.'
