Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 647 Lith Encounters Lucas

The notification shocked Lith and he stopped right where he was, befuddled with the current scenario.

'I thought I had seen everything, but this world never ceases to surprise me.' He thought to himself and shook his head with a smile.

He wasn't even thirty yet but the amount of surprises he's been through were astonishing.

The first surprise started with him being a vampire, the finding out his mother was the Vampire Queen and eventually knowing more about this world and stumbling across his wives caused more surprises to occur.

There had been so many of these instances that Lith was starting to get numb to them. Thankfully, he wasn't at the stage where he was totally unfazed by things yet and thus had a normal reaction of feeling shocked when he saw the notification.

After the initial shock, Lith looked around to see who this system user was.

There was a sea of people lying down on the ground, unable to handle Lucifer's pressure and finding the one was a bit difficult.

'System can you pinpoint the location of another system?' Lith asked, trying his luck.

[Yes. Turn right and take thirty steps.]

'Oh, nice.' The system made it easier for Lith to find the person and he was in luck. He walked as per the instructions of the system and stood right in front a black-haired person.

Lith couldn't see the face of the person since he was lying face down. 

'This is the one?' Lith asked the system.

[Yes.]

Lith nodded and squatted down to see the guy's face.

As he did that, Lucas who was lying down in shock, suddenly screamed in his mind:

'NOOOOOOOOOO!' 

'This is the worst of the worst scenarios that could happen!'

'It wasn't supposed to be like this. The Vampire Prince wasn't supposed to see me until I was at least a Demigod! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!?' 

'SYSTEM! SYSTEM! FUCKING DO SO—'

[Detected: Host's emotions are unstable.]

[Applying calming potion…]

'TO HECK WITH YOUR CALM—ing po…'

All of Lucas's panic died down as the system put him under a potion. The system then applied a sleeping potion and put Lucas further into an unconscious state so that he wouldn't be aware of his surroundings.

Lith, who was squatting down, turned Lucas's face and saw his black-haired, black-eyed face. It seemed average and the guy seemed to be sleeping.

'Did he pass out due to aunt's pressure? Or did he get a system notification like me as well and did something to himself to pass out? Weird.' 

Lith rubbed his chin and pondered over what might have happened.

A minute later. 

'He's a Rank 8, a peak one at that. In a few years he'll probably be Rank 9. This guy has good potential.' Lith was starting to have thoughts of taking Lucas on his side and making him a Royal Servant.

His mother went out of her way and made two hundred people high ranking immortals. They are now the Royal Servants, the strongest force owned by any family in the whole world.

Lith didn't have plans to do what his mother did since she already went through so much effort. She did all of this for him and instead of being an ungrateful son, Lith would use them and add more people into it to make it an even stronger force.

Lucas would seem like a good addition to it since he had the potential. However, a question popped up in Lith's mind.

Whose side will this guy be on?

He's a Human and they loathe all races, including their own at times. If he couldn't stay loyal to his own people, chances of him being loyal to a Vampire are an all time low.

Not all Humans would be like Qingyue who, despite being a Human, would put her life on the line for Lith and his family, a bunch of vampires, if need arises.

Her commitment levels are way too high and the standards she had created are difficult to find.

Lith was thus questioning whether to think of recruiting this guy or not.

After a while of looking around and then at Lucas, Lith came to a conclusion of waiting and watching.

The Humans near his aunt were kowtowing in fear and that was only because they didn't want to die. 

The Human Supreme Rank hadn't shown himself yet, meaning either he was afraid of his aunt or he didn't want to have a conflict with her.

This meant that the Humans were powerless in front of Lucifer and submitted to her, despite loathing the Demon race.

Humans have the highest intelligence among all other races. Although it was good, it had a drawback which made their emotions highly unstable and more prone to changes than others.

Due to this, Lith felt it was best to watch for a while. Who knows this guy might as well be plotting to exterminate all races from this world other than the Humans. 

Bringing him to Nightingale would only cause more doom. If the system with this guy was powerful, he could very well topple this whole world. He was someone who needed to be handled carefully.

'System, does the system in this guy know about your existence?' Lith asked, just to be sure.

[Answering Host: No.]

'How are you so sure?' It felt weird to get such an answer. The system that Lith had seemed too confident with its assessments.

[Answering…]

[The system the Host has differs fundamentally in the aspects such as…]

The system gave Lith a long explanation as to what was different and what the one Lucas had was.

Apparently Lith's system was basically a dead world. A world that was on the verge of collapse turned itself into a system and combined together with Lith to save its legacy. 

People could reincarnate but inanimate objects like a literal world couldn't. It thus had other means to continue itself, which was through a system. 

Lith possessed the resources, manuals, techniques, and almost everything that the world on the verge of collapse had. The only thing was, he couldn't see everything in one go and also couldn't get any resource he wanted.

There were only a select few resources given out for free at different Magic Ranks and most had to be either bought via gold coins or via trades.

This system's purpose was to always uplift the host in all possible ways so that once he became strong enough, he could bring the collapsed world back to existence. It was a mutually beneficial relationship where both won.

As for Lucas's system, what Lith was told was that someone gave it to him and it wasn't a traditional one like a dying world. Instead, this system was made for a single purpose, and to fulfil that, it would go to any lengths possible.

Not to mention, Lucas's system still had some remnant will within it, which may probably be controlling Lucas. This wasn't good news for anybody and Lith dropped the plans to get him on his side for now.

Lith's system also told him that Lucas's system might be spying on him while Lucas was unconscious. 

Lith nodded in response to it and took the necessary measures to not appear suspicious to get away from Lucas and his system.

Once Lith was done with it, he went back to Lucifer and stood beside her, watching what she was doing.

The Human Emperor Ranks apologized to Lucifer and begged her to take her Devils away.

Lucifer felt their apology wasn't enough and being the ruler of Devils themselves, gave them a few conditions which they would need to follow. If they didn't, she would take no action and the Humans could watch their own race die.

The Humans panicked and instantly accepted the conditions, even though they were highly unfavourable.

After wrapping things up in the Human Continent, Lucifer teleported away along with Lith.

Reaching the Demon Castle, she went to her throne room and sat on the throne like the Queen she was. Lith stood beside her and simply watched what she was doing.

Lucifer crossed her legs and gazed down. She stared at the Abyss below the castle and snapping her fingers once, said softly,

"Return."

A black whirlpool formed in front of Lucifer. It became bigger with time but after a while, slowly started vanishing and finally disappeared.

Lucifer slumped back on the throne after the Devils were put back in the Abyss. "Phew, a lot of work today."

Lith nodded from the side. "Indeed. But you did everything. Hmm… aunt isn't as useless as I thought."

Lucifer rolled her eyes and said, "if you're thinking you can offend me or insult me with that comment, you're dead wrong. Try harder."

Lith chuckled and walked close to Lucifer. "It wasn't a joke. Anyway, my job here is done. I'll be leaving now. Have a good day."

Lith kissed Lucifer's forehead after saying so.

Lucifer responded by holding Lith's head and bringing his lips close to hers, eventually giving him a deep kiss.

Once she felt satisfied, she let him go and said, "Don't bother to come back until you're a Half King. Otherwise I'll whoop your ass."

Lith smiled. "I am pretty sure it'll be the other way round, just like how it is usually."

Lith was referring to spanking Lucifer during their intimate sessions.

Lucifer got up and shook her head. "You talk too much."

She held Lith's collar and picking him up, continued, "Now, get out. Let me watch anime in peace."

Lucifer threw Lith down into a vortex and made him disappear. She then stretched and said, feeling lazy,

"Time to watch Defense of Dwarves season 5."
