Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 910 Breach In Security

The rock pillar.

KRRRRRRRR!

"MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

BOOOOOM!

Chaos. It was total chaos at the top of the rock pillar with the beasts interfering with the cooking and the rest defending the cauldron.

The ten beasts were not hovering in the air anymore and actively attacking the people above, with Dennis getting a major portion of his hand bitten off by one of the beasts, hence the yell.

The beasts were powerful and their frenzied attacks had to be collectively dealt with, otherwise everyone was going to die one by one.

Lith and Ralph had somehow managed to gather the ingredients for a final few recipes and were helping defend the cauldron.

Only five recipes were given to the four and after that, they were on their own.

They were given basic information about seeds, spices, veggies, meat, and the ways of cooking.

These basics had to be properly put to use, otherwise they were all dead.

The challenge was brutal and just to make matters worse, these beasts were in a constant state of hunger and made the four work to their bones.

Around round seven, as the four did not have the recipes, there was a slight delay in the food selection and cooking. This caused the beasts' anger to peak and a hell lot of trouble.

Things were relatively fine at this round, which was the eleventh one, and with how it was going, the four estimated that it should be over by fourteenth or the sixteenth round.

While defending themselves, the four were slightly underpowered. It was due to Miwa who could barely use magic.

Despite not knowing how to use magic, Miwa's physical strength was astonishing, and a single punch could break the bones of these beasts.

The beasts had sensed this and barely attacked Miwa.

This caused them to do long range attacks and the defense was down to three people.

It was a problem at the start, but with Miwa cooking at full speed, the recipes were ready and the bowls were filled with food.

This gave the four some room to breathe and Miwa to relax.

Honestly, in Lith's opinion, everything happening here was overkill.

Not only him, but everyone felt like walking on the edge of a knife. Any misstep could lead to their demise.

Lith, Ralph, and Dennis weren't so worried about dying. Their major concern was Miwa.

The three knew she could die and die completely with no coming back. This was really bad news and they could not afford to have it.

Not just that, the three knew Miwa was doing everything as if her life depended on it, which was exactly what situation the three were in too.

However, even till the end, the three cared less about their lives and more about Miwa's. She for sure was a liability, but their good friend nonetheless, who they wouldn't wish any harm to befall.

Hence, with great determination, the three did whatever they could in their power to help Miwa cook and feed these damn beasts.

Ralph racked his brains to its max potential and came up with many new recipes. He studied the behaviour of these beasts and came up with the ingredients selection accordingly.

Dennis did his level best to defend while Lith helped not just Dennis, but also Ralph, and then Miwa.

He was the one doing three things at once and his help played a major role in keeping everybody less burnt out.

The sun set and rose again, then set again and rose again.

Without knowing, two days had passed and exhaustion was taking a toll on the four.

The suffering eventually continued on for a day more and stopped only when the ten beasts flew away, causing Miguel and Juan to come back.

"Congratulations!" Miguel and Juan greeted everybody, but didn't get a response from anyone.

Lith, Ralph, Dennis, and Miwa crashed and lay flat on the ground, going into a deep slumber.

At this point, they cared not for anything but rest.

Miguel and Juan smiled and shook their heads. These four had completely exceeded their expectations and had finished with one of the world's toughest training regimes when it came to being a chef.

It may appear like being a chef meant nothing and was easy, but in the cultivation world, such was not the case.

Being a chef meant cooking up the tastiest dish, which could not happen without procuring the rarest of ingredients, which in turn would not happen unless one dived deep into the dangerous pits of hell.

Not only were there ingredients, there were even special flames present which elevated the dish to a whole another level.

It was also mentioned in ancient records that just by eating food from a master chef, one could have their attainment rise, thereby ascending up the cultivation ranks.

One could go straight from a mortal to an immortal and some records even argued about going above and beyond. However, how much of that was true was unknown.

In any case, Miguel and Juan were told to give the four the harshest of training to have them become the best of the best.

The two were hence determined to give it their all and make the four reach an apex which even they could only dream of.

The harsh training was really challenging and the two did not know whether the Prince and his friends would survive it, but this was an order from above and they had to abide by it.

One good thing about this though was that the harsh training would not drag on for long.

The four would not need to sit and listen to lectures on herbs and meats for days, then apply it in real world scenarios.

Being a great chef was more about having practical knowledge than theoretical, meaning no matter how much stuff they learnt via lectures, the only true way in which they would become skilled would be via actual cooking.

Hence, Miguel and Juan dropped all lecture plans and went straight to the practical training.

This method of training would not take long to complete and the four should be ready in about a few centuries.

Miguel and Juan were really excited for their Prince to learn the art of cooking. Not only that, they both were very much happy to have him be under their care for so many years.

There was nothing that could make them happier other than serve their masters and even though Lith may be young, he was their true master and they felt their lives' purpose had been reached while teaching him.

How the future would hold was something they did not know, but they were anticipating it with great vigor.

The two grabbed the four disciples of theirs and took them away from the scene, onto their next training challenge with big smiles on their faces.

…..

Heavenly Court, Angel Continent.

A handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes sat atop a mighty throne, clad in blue and white royal attire. His hands rested on a giant sword's handle and as usual, his gaze was calm and his expression was serene.

This was the Heavenly Emperor and this was his Heavenly Court, the administration ruling over all Angels within this world.

Many Angel Kings with a pair of white wings on their backs sat in the court and discussed everyday affairs with the Heavenly Emperor or the King of Angels.

The Angel Kings were the highest order of Angels and had multiple pairs of wings, representing their vast experience and strength.

However, they were forbidden from extending them all out in the court as extension of all pairs were only done during war or while showing utmost submission.

Angel Kings extended all of their wings out when in front of their master or in the case of marriage to show the deep love and reverence they had for each other.

The latter was only done if the two people marrying were equal in strength, otherwise there was no particular need to do so.

Unlike most, the King of Angels, who was rumoured to possess the forty-seven heavenly pair of wings, actually never extended even a single pair of wings out of his back.

It was because even a single pair out meant he was on high alert and that an attack could happen at any given time.

Since his wings were retracted and was an everyday occurrence, the Angel Kings were relaxed and going about their business normally.

The discussions were all going well and even the King of Angels was relaxed, until…

BOOM!

The door of the Heavenly Court exploded and sent a chill down the spine of all Angel Kings, making them all extend their multiple pairs of wings in response!

"WHO DARES!?" They all exclaimed and took a defensive stance.

Never, never once in the history of Heavenly Court has such a breach happened!

Then who bloody had the audacity to do it now!?!!

The Angel Kings were in turmoil and great panic, their security was totally compromised!

Amidst the dust at the entrance, the many Angel Kings could see a rough outline of a figure.

The figure was approaching the Angel Kings and right then, they heard:

"Old man, your minions are lacking."
