Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 449 Lith’s Thoughts

”What reasons?” Lilith asked.

Although she was having a conversation with her future self, there was no excitement or even amusement on her side. It was as if everything felt natural to Lilith.

The future Lilith looked down at Lilith from the mighty throne she was platform she was standing on and said,

”Thereʼs an external force trying to penetrate his mind and take slight control of him. If you havenʼt noticed it already, you cannot read his mind and thatʼs because thereʼs something special about him. Youʼll know in future what it is. As of now, if I am not wrong, even he doesnʼt know anything about him and he wonʼt be able to answer you even if you ask him.”

”In any case, whatʼs happening now is that the external force I talked about, it found Lith to be a suitable candidate and chose him. But, that force mustʼve failed to read any of our childʼs thoughts and thus, baiting him with his own immortal core, it created a situation where it could penetrate his mind and have some control over his thoughts.”

”Do you understand now, my past self?”

Lilithʼs brows were knitted this whole while and she was even more angry than before. Someone was trying to take control of her baby and she even had no idea about it!? How was this possible!?

Lilithʼs expression then turned slightly sad as she realized she wasnʼt a good mother and failed to protect her child from harm.

Lilithʼs eyes became slightly moist as she realized this fact along with feeling Lithʼs existence to fade away from her slowly.

The future Lilith, looking at her past self becoming all emotional, couldnʼt help but say,

”Stop feeling like that. This isnʼt like you. Have some trust in me because I am you and not any outsider or stranger. I love Lith just as much as you do.”

”Ascensions are a vulnerable moment for everyone and that external force found it to be the best time to take control of him.”

”But donʼt worry, Lith was already successful in establishing a link with his immortal core. The only problem now is that his mortal core is having problems changing into the core of a Half Saint Rank. You disintegrating his mortal core would result in the formation of his immortal core.”

”Stay strong and go save our baby.”

Lilith, hearing all of that, nodded her head and her expression became determined. This was no time to be sad, she can regret these things later. Now the main priority was to save Lith.

The future Lilith disappeared from Lilithʼs eyes and she was back to looking at the current situation properly.

Looking up, she realised there was a bit more distance she needed to cover to attack Lithʼs core and so, she increased her pace and moved towards Lith as fast as she could.

*

Looking at her mother-in-law rush towards Lith so fast, Arya couldnʼt help but comment,

”So that is the speed of a Legendary Rank.”

Lilith, in her moment of panic, left Arya behind and the speed with which she was gone made Arya comment that.

Arya was about to follow Lilith and join her up there but as she looked down, she saw a few black dots moving upwards.

It was evident that they were people.

”Well, it seems like I canʼt follow my mother-in-law.” Arya looked down and said in a neutral tone.

Lith needed to be rescued and it was Aryaʼs top priority. However, she couldnʼt do that as there were people moving towards Lith and Arya had to stop them, lest they become a hindrance in saving her husband.

As much as Arya wanted to go up and save Lith, she could only just steel her heart and put all her trust into her mother-in-law. These people here needed to be stopped and Arya had to do this job by any means.

Arya looked up at Lith and prayed for his safety internally. She then looked down and said with a serious expression,

”Letʼs see whatʼs the quickest way to kill them all.”

*

Lilith soon reached and she immediately sent a spear imbued with pure destruction energy towards Lithʼs core. She ensured that it had enough power to destroy his core but not too much that would end up harming Lith instead.

It didnʼt take long for the spear to reach Lithʼs core and it immediately obliterated the entirety of Lithʼs core, thereby crippling Lith.

Normally, if one destroyed someoneʼs core, it would end up releasing enough energy to destroy small towns and if itʼs an immortal core, it could even destroy an entire city if precaution wasnʼt taken.

However, Lithʼs state was different currently and he was transitioning from mortal realms to immortal realms.

His core thus had no energy as everything was spread into his body for ascension.

Lithʼs core got destroyed without any special thing happening and just as it did, Lith, who was floating in the golden beam of light, immediately fell down.

Lilith eventually caught his free falling figure and Lithʼs Astral Worldʼs consciousness was now in Lilithʼs arms.

Lith had a neutral look on his face as he lay in Lilithʼs arms. There were no signs of life coming from him and he appeared like a dead person.

As Lilith looked at him and saw how he wasnʼt responding, moving, or doing anything remotely living, tears couldnʼt help but come out of her eyes.

This was the first time Lilith had ever cried.

Lilithʼs tears dropped onto Lithʼs neutral face and as she looked at him, she couldnʼt help but say softly,

”I am sorry… I was a bad mother…”

Lilith hugged Lith after saying so and continued to sob.

While sobbing, she didnʼt forget to look for ways to revive him and her brain was working on full capacity to search for a way to get him back.

Her connection with Lith told her that Lith wasnʼt dead yet and there were still some signs of life. However, they were fading away and only little was remaining.

Lilith was thus stuck in a rock and a hard place and there didnʼt seem to be anything that she could do to help him. But still, she was trying her best to find a way.

Right at this moment, Lilithʼs future self appeared in front of Lilithʼs eyes again.

Lilithʼs future self, standing on a mighty platform, gazed down at Lilith and said calmly, ”Stop crying. He wonʼt come back even if you cry for an eternity.”

Lilith didnʼt bother to look her future self in the eyes and was looking at Lith. Nothing mattered to her more than her son.

The Lilith from future sighed as she noticed this. She knew very well what emotions the current Lilith was going through as she had been through that as well. If given the option to, she wouldʼve chosen to not look at this scene again as it was really a very sad one.

However, she had to bear the pain and help the current Lilith as the Lilith of now wasnʼt powerful enough to do things on her own.

”Although Iʼll say you donʼt have to worry too much as heʼll come back to life at any time from now, I know you wonʼt believe my words and continue to be sad.”

”Anyway, keep doing what youʼre doing, Iʼll just blabber a few things now and itʼs up to you to listen to them or not.”

”So whatʼs happening with him now is…”

In the vast expanse of darkness, Lith felt himself fall down and down and down…

There was no sense of time, no sense of touch, no noise, nothing happening, and only darkness and emptiness all over.

Lithʼs thoughts were almost about to stop completely.

Previously, not only were his memories made to fade away, his thinking process was also limited.

The more one would think, the more difficult it is to break into their minds and whatever force that was trying to have a control of him, it ensured that Lith didnʼt have the ability to think too much.

This, coupled with his memories fading away, made Lith only have one thought at the last moment:

ʼIt was a good life…ʼ

Lith was in no state to think too much about things as his thoughts were completely limited and the force on him was so strong, he could only have one thought.

At the last moment of his life, when not made available to even think and just have one single thought, Lith appreciated the life he had.

His family, his wives, his friends, his maids, his butlers, he appreciated each and every single person and his entire life that he lived. There was only appreciation in his heart for them at his final moments when he could only have one thought.

With this, Lith felt the end was near but he couldnʼt even notice it as his memories were almost gone and his thinking process was almost stopped.

He could only just let things flow. There was no option for him to preserve, no option to fight back, and no option to change things.

With things being this way, Lith kept falling and falling and falling…

Soon, at who knows what time, Lith suddenly saw a small bright dot at a distance he couldnʼt even have an estimate about.

It didnʼt take long for the dot to become brighter and larger and although Lith wouldʼve loved to analyse it and see what it was that was present in this vast expanse of darkness, he currently was stripped off of the ability to think and process things.

The dot became brighter and larger and soon, it was clearly visible to Lith.

It was a silver ray of light.

Lith had no thoughts about it and just watched it close in on him.

The light came closer and soon…

*

BOOM!

Lithʼs Astral Worldʼs body lying in Lilithʼs arms immediately had its aura explode, eventually shocking Lilith who was holding Lith.

Lithʼs eyes abruptly opened up and all his hair stood on their ends.

Lithʼs body once again got lifted and he floated up in the vast golden beam of light.

Lithʼs eyes were pure silver and bright and there were no pupils present there. His hair was floating against gravity and fluttering in the air.

Such an appearance of Lith caused Lilith to panic slightly, but she remembered the words of her future self and calmed down and looked at her son.

Lilithʼs future self had made the current Lilith prepared for everything that was about to occur and Lilith was thus slightly calm.

She went up in the air and stood right in front of Lith, watching over him in case any mishap occurred.

She looked at him and said in a soft motherly tone,

”Please preserve my dear child. You have to, for mama. Donʼt give up at any cost.”

*

As soon as the silver ray of light hit Lith, all the memories he had of his two lives flooded in and his thinking process was momentarily restored as well.

Lith immediately became conscious of the entire thing happening with him and he cursed,

”What the fuck is happening!?”

No sooner, Lith once again felt his memories to fade away and his thinking process to slowly get limited.

”My thought process is being limited, isnʼt it?”

”Who is doing it?”

”Hmm?”

”The more I think about things…”

”Ah…”

Something immediately clicked Lith as he had rapid thoughts in quick successions.

Having too many thoughts slowed down the speed of the force trying to limit his thinking process.

”So to not become a living corpse like before, I have to think, right? The more I think, the faster Iʼll be able to eradicate that force trying to limit my thought process.”

”No way! I refuse to be a living corpse like before!”

”A good life, I said, right?”

”Good life my ass!”

”I canʼt die now. Iʼve got too many things to do. Too many places to be and too many problems to solve.”

”How the fuck did I even think my life was good? Although, I do agree my life was indeed nice, it had the potential to be nicer, nicest, best, bestest, bestestestest!”

”I am an idiot to think Iʼve had a fulfilled life. There are too many things remaining and I canʼt die just yet without doing them. Also, I cannot die even if I want to. My wives, my family, they would all be sad. I canʼt let them be sad no matter what happens.”

”If I am not wrong, last time when I hit the barrier and ended up falling… letʼs call it the void, I immediately went into a state of losing memories and having a limit on my thought process. Before I could even think about that situation I was in, I was forced into a state of coma perhaps.”

”Damn it! Whoeverʼs trying to kill me or whatever is too strong! Who even is it!?”

”Iʼll definitely find it out once I am out of this place. But to get out, I need to think faster! Much faster than the current thinking speed!”

The method to counter this force trying to control Lithʼs mind that Lith came up with as soon as he got his thinking process back slightly by some miracle appeared to be working as the more he thought and the faster he thought, the faster was his brain working and he felt his memories to reappear in his mind and also felt that force that was trying to limit him to weaken.

Lith thus continued to think as fast as he could and had a lot of rapid thoughts in mind. There were thousands of things he was thinking about at each instant.

It was all a piece of cake for Lith. He was an overthinker and his habit of falling into deep thoughts suddenly ever since he was young was now starting to prove advantageous to him.

Among the thousands of thoughts Lith had, some were…

”Thereʼs no way I can die here! I have yet to go on a date with my wives. Itʼs still remaining. I havenʼt even gone on a honeymoon after marriage. Tsk, tsk, I would have too many regrets if I donʼt finish this task.”

”Also, I havenʼt seen my wife Alexandraʼs smile to my heartʼs content. She has a serious mood almost at all times when she isnʼt with me. I want to see her be happy and smile even if sheʼs not with me.”

”Apart from her, I havenʼt had the chance to appreciate my wifey Aryaʼs beauty and her divine eyes to my heartʼs content. Even though I appreciated it once or twice before, I need to do it at least a million more times to convey my point to her that sheʼs indeed very beautiful, perfect, and her eyes are too nice.”

”Damn it Arya babe, your blindfold hid your eyes from me and I havenʼt seen it to my heartʼs content. I am gonna do it when I get back”

”And also, I have yet to see Lucy finish the hierarchy of the vampires and give a proper suitable way for them to go up the nobility ranks. It had been what, ten years? Itʼs been ten years and she still wasnʼt able to do it, lolololol. Oh wait, I shouldnʼt be laughing, hahahahaha!”

”Right, I also need to eat a pizza made by Emmy. The last two times she made pizza, she burnt it. I canʼt die before I taste a proper pizza made by her.”

”Lastly, I havenʼt thanked mother enough and showered her with all my love and respect. I feel I was somewhat lacking. Iʼll ensure I properly show her some love, she deserves it.”

”Thereʼs also Dennis and Ralph and then thereʼs Luna and Noman and Ruben and…”

Lith continued to think and think and eventually…
