Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lith followed the river and flew downstream. After an hour of flying, he felt some magical fluctuations occur, a few hundred meters away from where the river was.

Lith changed directions and flew towards the source of the magical fluctuations and flying for a few hundred meters, he came across a teen fighting a group of wild boars.

The teen had horns protruding from the side of his head and a slim black tail with the end having a shape of a flat disc. Lith didn’t bother to recall who he was and simply flew down and killed all the boars.

The teen was shocked when he saw Lith arrive so suddenly in front of him. “V-vampire P-p-prince?” He stuttered.

“Hmm?” Lith, who was in the middle of killing a boar with his sword, turned his head towards the teen as he called him.

“Eh? N-nothing.” The teen said in confusion, in a hurried manner.

He wasn’t sure whether it was really Lith or not and thus asked but when Lith answered his call, he realized that he was here to help and he shouldn’t disturb him like this.

Lith didn’t talk with the teen when he said that and simply focused on killing the boars. It didn’t take a lot of time to kill them all. These boars were Tier 2, 3, and 4 and weren’t too much of a problem for Lith. He was able to easily kill them. They were a problem for the teen, but not anymore.

Lith walked close to the teen and took his identity badge out. He wiped the spiritual power of the teen off of it and imbued his own, thereby overriding it.

The teen vanished from his spot as he got eliminated and Lith left to search for the final participant who was present in this dimension.

Like before, he followed the river stream and while doing so, came across a few beasts, who obviously didn’t pose a challenge to him and got killed.

After flying for a few minutes, Lith saw a big tree extending towards the sky ahead of him. He reached close to the three in a few minutes and saw a door at its base.

Lith descended down and had a closer look at the door. It was nothing special. Just a black rusty door. He pushed it open and walked inside.

“Welcome, Fated One. We have been waiting for you. Pass this final trial and the legacy of hundreds of thousands of worshippers shall be yours.”

Lith heard a voice as he entered inside. He looked around and found himself to be in the middle of a hall. There was a staircase in front of him that led to a door.

He didn’t think much and simply walked towards the door and after pushing it open, he found himself standing in front of an entrance of some sort.

“Fated One, this the Maze of Mezipos. Mezipos was a Cardinal and he made the maze to test how strong the faith of the worshippers is. But it can be cleared by another way and that way is to follow a proper logical route.”

The voice faded away after giving this small hint to Lith.

Lith understood what was to be done and started walking inside the entrance of the maze.

There were big gray walls around him as he moved and after a while of walking, Lith reached a fork. There was a hint written on the walls in front of him which would lead him in the right direction.

Lith analyzed the hint and thought about things logically as he was told to. He picked a direction and walked in it.

‘One second. Apply logic…” Lith stopped in his tracks and thought about it.

He tried to feel the elemental energy around him and realized he could feel them. He cast Short Jump and teleported to a certain distance. Lith smiled knowing that spells work here.

“Why should I bother spending my energy solving this puzzle when I can just bypass it.” Lith muttered to himself.

He spread his spiritual sense out in a radius of five hundred meters and got an outline of the area in his mind. He cast Short Jump repeatedly while having his spiritual sense spread out and after a while, he sensed magical fluctuations once again.

Lith quickly teleported to the source of the magical fluctuations and saw a teen, almost two metres in height, probably from the Giant race, casting Short Jump and teleporting to another place.

He finally found the fourth participant.

Lith rushed to where the giant teen was and patted on his shoulder.

The giant teen was on guard and quickly got into a defensive stance when he felt a pat on his shoulder.

“Relax, I am no enemy. I am here to get you out.” Lith said in a neutral tone.

The giant teen was surprised when he saw Lith in front of him. The Vampire Prince was here to save him? Is this for real?

Lith was actually surprised by how quick the teen’s reflexes were. Another thing that surprised him was that he was doing the same thing as him. He wanted to know how the teen came up with such an answer.

“Ah, h-hello, Lord Lith.” The giant teen stuttered and said bowing.

He didn’t want to offend Lith and therefore called him respectfully and bowed. He actually respected him too because of how powerful Lith was. He had met him in the tournament and he was one-shot killed by him.

He was first stopped by Lith’s time spell ‘Slow’ and then insta-killed by his sword. He himself had an affinity to Time but Lith’s mastery in it was so high, he couldn’t break off the effect of it.

The Giants were a race of people who respected the strong. The teen wasn’t any exception to it either. He looked up to Lith as he was the strongest person of his age and batch.

“Hi there.” Lith said with a smile.

Too many people had been calling him Lord and what not and he was tired of correcting them. He just let them call him whatever they wanted and this time wasn’t an exception either.

“You are here to save me?” The giant teen asked.

“Yeah, no. I am not here to save you. You’re not in trouble. I am just here to get you out of this dimension.” Lith answered.

The giant teen nodded his head as he heard Lith’s response.

“Give me your identity badge.” Lith said to him.

The giant teen took it out and gave it to Lith.

Lith took it and before doing an override on it, he asked the teen, “what made you use the teleportation spells instead of moving normally and following the instructions?”

“Well… I felt the elemental energy around and tried to cast a Space spell and it worked. So I ignored the hints and used just these to try to get out.” The giant teen said while scratching the back of his head.

Lith nodded his head as he heard his response. So it wasn’t anything special. He probably was thinking too highly of the teen it seems.

Lith imbued his spiritual power in the identity badge and wiped it off, thereby eliminating the teen. The teen vanished from the place and Lith was alone in this inheritance trial.

Lith sighed in relief and then thought about what he should do next. To clear this trial or to get out, that was what he was questioning himself about.

After a few seconds of thinking, Lith decided to clear it. He had come this far, might as well clear it.

Lith cast Short Jump and started teleporting once again while having his spiritual sense spread out.
