Chapter 442 A Dream About God
The whisper made Lith frown. He still couldn't understand just who or what was summoning him.
"Boy… come… here…"
Lith heard it again.
Not only was there a whisper he heard, there was also this strange and creepy thing present beside him, that still seemed scary.
Although Lith wasn't scared, this thing was a risk to his life and he didn't want to take any chances.
'But… from what I can see, it appears like that thing is not able to hurt me, just scare me. Is it that it cannot hurt me or is it that it doesn't want to hurt me till I get there?' Lith thought to himself.
Lith didn't want to test things despite thinking that. Having no other way, he decided to move forwards and see what was there in store for him.
Lith, who was trying to make up his decision, had no idea that a bizarre looking black creature with an odd face shape structure, red eyes and sharp teeth, with a lot of tentacles having sharp spikes right behind his back, gazing at him.
It was ready to strike at any moment Lith faltered from his place and strike.
Lith just dodged this grave danger as he took a step forward and moved towards the area where he was being summoned.
The bizzare looking creature disappeared and Lith was back to feeling normal. The sense of danger from within was gone.
Lith then thought about running away to some other place, but then he realized that no matter where he went, that thing that was trying to summon him would get him and thus gave up.
A while later, Lith reached in front of a podium. The podium had something engraved on top of it and Lith assumed that it was where he must go.
'It's risky, but I have no other choice. I'll see what I can do later.'
Lith walked on top of the podium and sat on it. He then closed his eyes and started to meditate.
Nothing happened.
Lith sighed in relief. He continued to meditate and tried to think of a way to get out of this place.
Soon, Lith heard some strange noises once again. He kept his eyes closed and didn't bother to think about the noises.
Moments later, he felt a grave sense of danger once again and immediately opened his eyes to see what it was.
Surrounding Lith, there were a thousand monsters!
These monsters had odd body shapes, odd facial structures, and their faces were ugly and unpleasant to the eyes. Some of the faces were scary to the point of making a sane person fall unconscious and some were ugly to the point of making a person vomit.
It wasn't just their appearance, they also had various things on them such as sharp spikes and claws that showed how dangerous they were.
Although it was too dangerous to be here, Lith was calm and he didn't panic.
Had it been the Lith who just awakened his Magic Core, he would not be the same.
Years of assassinations, training, meditation, and breakthroughs had made Lith adapt to any and every situation properly and not panic.
Thus, being calm, he looked at his surroundings and analysed things.
'They aren't trying to harm me.' Lith figured. 'Is it because they are trying to ensure I don't run away from this altar or is the calling that I got was so that I am saved from these creatures?'
'There's no way to know. All I can do is sit and see how things go.'
Lith closed his eyes and once again began to think of the ways to get out of this predicament.
Just as Lith had his eyes closed, he entered into a dream.
Lith was fully conscious and fully aware of whatever things were happening and he was currently standing in the middle of a dusty road, looking at the various different types of people and carts passing by.
'I am in the mediaeval era? Or is this the Victorian era?' Lith couldn't help but think as he looked at the outfits of the people here.
The ladies were gowns and the men wore suits. The poor ones simply had a dirty shirt and pants on while the rich had other accessories such as a cane, a pocket watch, and a monocle.
Other than that, there didn't seem to be anybody of any other race present and all looked like they were humans.
Lith started walking and as he did so, he heard people converse:
"Sigh… another plague inflicted on our town. This time the death toll went well over a hundred."
"It's a pity. There was Hannah and Jules living there. They were really religious and believed in god. But in the end, no god saved them and they died. I wonder if god even exi—"
"Shhh. Don't say such blasphemous things. The people from the church might hear you."
"Right."
"Anyway, let's get moving."
Hearing this made Lith wonder if this dream is about gods.
To know further about it, he continued to walk and just as he took a step, the scene in front of him changed and he was in a dark alley.
Two people walked into this dark alley and both wore hooded black robes. It was also night time now, different from the previous time.
The two people removed their hoods and one was a blond haired chubby man with a cross on his neck and the other was a serious looking short haired man in black robes.
"What have they thought?" The man with short hair asked.
"You know how it is. The church won't allow anyone to slander god and—"
"You do understand that your god is trying to do more harm than good right?"
"Yes. I do understand. But it's for our own good. God always looks for our better interests and what we think is harming us is probably something that may not be true. It might just be us overthinking things."
"If that was the case, you wouldn't be meeting me here."
"..."
Silence descended down between the two and they didn't speak with each other, just stood still.
A while later, the chubby man said, "my faith is wavering and I am slightly confused about things. I contacted you in hopes of having my faith restored and removing any trace of doubt that I may have."
The short haired man eyed the chubby man with a serious gaze. "So you still stand on the side of the church."
"I don't know…" the chubby man said softly.
Kachow!
The short haired man immediately went behind the back of the chubby man and broke his spine, eventually killing him.
He spit on the dead man's body and said, "And here I thought I would be able to properly plant a spy in the church. Tsk."
The man left after saying so.
Lith, who was standing beside the two and watching the drama unfold was now pretty sure that everything was about God in this dream.
But who was this god? Why would he only target Lith? Was Lith special or something? The latter shouldn't be the case since Lith personally thought of himself as an ordinary boy who just happened to reincarnate and due to luck, he was the son of the vampire queen.
Lith had done no extraordinary thing in his opinion whatsoever. All this while, he just went with the flow without disturbing anyone or causing nuisance anywhere.
There was no one who Lith had offended present. The ones that he had conflict with, all were either dead or in captivity. He should have no enemies.
Many questions popped inside Lith's head and no matter how many times he tried to think of an answer, nothing came up in his mind.
Gaining no understanding of his current situation, Lith decided to just go with the flow.
He walked towards the dead body and squatted down to examine the body of the dead person.
Just as Lith was about to flip the guy around, the scene changed and Lith was now squatting in a large throne room.
Beside Lith was a woman in purple robes, kneeling and having her head bowed.
In front of him was a man sitting on a mighty throne. The face of the man couldn't be seen but he appeared extremely terrifying and overbearing.
Lith felt slight pressure from him despite being in a dream and this made him wonder how would things be if he was in front of that man.
Lith's thoughts stopped after the woman beside him spoke.
"Master, some people are trying to uproot the teachings of the church. It took around a hundred years, but everything is going according to the plan."
