Vampire's Slice Of Life

The group of assassins and tanks waited for their employer in the secluded forest. And it was half a day later when they finally felt a spatial fluctuation around them. Their employers were here.

'Rich entitled brats, making us wait for so long…'

Kenny thought again.

'They sure made us wait…'

Viona, Camilla, and Mace thought while Gileus was still absentmindedly polishing his axe.

The spatial fluctuations slowly faded. Kenny and the rest didn't really want to see who these employers were, but they kept a professional stance and watched them.

A pair of legs in black trousers and glossy shoes appeared out, followed by a pair of black heels and slender, pristine legs.

The mercenaries watching raised their eyebrows in surprise, and eventually had their eyes widened in shock when their employers were properly in front of them.

A tall, silver-haired man in an all black suit, wearing white gloves and possessing a black cross-earring, followed by a tall bluish-silver haired lady in a black dress and heels, wearing a blindfold…

Who the fuck were these Gods!?!

Everyone except Gileus thought.

Did somebody call supermodels instead of their employers? Where were snobby wealthy brats that they had hoped for? How come they encountered a power couple like that?

Arm-in-arm with his wife, Lith walked towards the small group of five, who seemed to be in a shocked state, as if they were watching something horrific.

"You're the mercenaries from the Clementine Guild?" Lith asked calmly.

To the mercenaries, except Gileus, his voice felt authoritative and domineering. They automatically felt as if they were peasants in front of royalty. It was hard to understand how they felt so inferior, and for now, they tried to suppress these feelings and acted professionally.

"That's right, sir." Kenny bowed slightly and said. He had no idea why he so respectfully bowed.

The other members, including Gileus, also gave the two a light, respectful bow.

Lith gave them a curt nod and said, "Let's get going then. Introduction can be done on the way."

No time was wasted and they all left for the 12th Pillar's territory using a gate, vanishing from their spots.

…..

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

A change had occurred in the Royal Court of the Vampires.

Seated on the throne of the Queen was not a young girl anymore, but a mature lady with imperious bearings.

Lucy was busy and could not act as the Regent Queen. Thus, Lilith was back in position and was once again about to rule as the Vampire Queen.

All the servants belonging to the Royal Clan, except Luna, were present in the court.

Lilith sat on her throne while the rest were standing by the walls at the sides, and a few in the spacious center, facing the Queen.

Qingyue was behind Lilith as usual, awaiting instructions, and with a gesture from Lilith, she rang a bell to mark the beginning of the court session.

Standing in the center with a scroll in her hand, a redhead took a step forward and bowed slightly. She was dressed in black robes, not in the usual maid attire like the rest.

"Your Majesty, the interrogation has ended. We've found that…"

This was Fanny, and she was representing the ladies who interrogated Jacqueline, giving the Queen a report on the same.

Lilith calmly listened to her speak and didn't say a word. This was important for her.

"There's a Patriarch called Aurelius who is the 1st Pillar. Then there's…"

Fanny stated the hierarchy of the Evure God Clan and many more important details such as the secret routes, bases, and so on.

One important detail that made Lilith interested was knowing about the treasure vault of the EGC. It was said that it could only be accessed by the Three Greats fully and the first five pillars partially. She had no idea where it was though.

Lilith nodded lightly and gestured for the next person to speak.

Fanny took a step back and Freya took a step forward, giving the Queen a bow and letting her know of the current affairs.

The entire discussion in the room was related to the Evure God Clan and less focus was placed on the current world itself.

Listening to the maids made Lilith recall some suppressed memories. She just remembered there being a boy with a system other than her own son.

Lilith turned to Qingyue and asked her to fetch the boy called Lucas. He should be in the castle somewhere.

In just a minute of instructing her, Lucas was here in the courtroom, sweating buckets and deeply bowing in front of Lilith. His worst nightmare had come true and the system was dead silent today, not saying anything.

Lilith glanced at him and said, "Your life has been meaningless, Lucas."

Lucas's blood ran cold as he heard that. All thoughts were starting to turn blank as he realized that this woman definitely knew a lot about him.

"You were supposed to grow and pose a threat to my child, giving him a sense of dread, but you couldn't."

Sweat formed on his forehead as these secrets slowly unraveled before him. What did she mean by supposed to grow? Did she know all along about his existence? What? How was that possible? He had done his best to not get under her radar!

Lilith leaned to the side, supported her face on her fist, and continued, "You were useless, and with how things are going on, I'm sure you're useless to the clan too."

[Danger!]

[Danger!]

[Danger!]

[Host's identity has been found out!]

[Self-destructing in 3…]

"Oh?" Lilith raised herself and cocked an eyebrow. "You're finally showing your true colors?"

Lucas was about to break down from the mental pain he was getting. Being sandwiched between the conflict of two powerhouses was never a great feeling…

[…2…]

The countdown felt like a grim reaper's blade slowly coming at his throat. Lucas could feel his end being near.

While watching the fiasco unfold, in an absolutely unhurried motion, Lilith extended her hand out and did a grabbing motion.

"Not so fast."

A head-splitting pain ran through Lucas's very essence as he got to his knees and screamed:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh—!"

A blue colored orb slowly oozed out of his body while he writhed in pain and agony, shaking like a worm that was sprinkled with salt.

The orb manifested above Lilith's palm after a few seconds and gently bobbed up and down while Lucas passed out from the sheer pain.

Looking at the bob, Lilith slowly closed her palm and said, "There won't be a need for this."

BURST—!

The orb exploded and with it, the last remnants of Lucas's system vanished. An anti-climatic end to the years of planning and adventures that the system was preparing with Lucas to stop the apocalypse.

With the system gone, Lilith looked at the passed out Lucas and said, "Wake him up. He's not totally useless yet…"
