Vampire's Slice Of Life
chapter-262

In the middle of a battle arena, a burly man was practicing his martial skills. It had been quite some time since he was doing this and he usually used to practice for weeks without any breaks.

But only a few minutes later, he halted his practice as he felt some disturbance. The man looked in a certain direction and muttered softly,

"Who is it?"

Saying so, he vanished from his spot and teleported out at a place high above the clouds.

He narrowed his eyes and gazed at the thing closing in on him from afar and saw a red streak of light containing heaven defying power charge towards him.

The burly man raised his hand and curled his palms in a holding position in front of him and in an instant, a black club appeared in his hand.

The burly man swung it a few times and pointing it towards the red streak of light, he said, "come."

The red streak of light, as if understanding what the man had said, increased its speed even further.

The burly man started chanting a few things and rushed towards the red streak of light.

In the next instant, the man reached almost in front of the red streak of light and with his enchanted club, he hit the red streak of light with his utmost power.

BOOM! A loud explosion occurred when the enchanted club and the red streak of light collided head-on.

Zwwwip!

The red streak zapped its way forward despite the heavy strike of the burly man, who in return was sent flying due to the momentum of collision.

"Hahaha! Amazing!" The burly man said excitedly.

He teleported again and this time arrived directly in front of the red streak and held it with both his hands.

"Let's see how you pass me! Hahahaha!"

Feeling resistance, the red streak pushed with even greater force, causing the burly man to use more of his force.

"HNNGHHHH!" The burly man groaned and flexed all muscles of his upper body and used great strength to stop the red streak which had just increased force even more.

Zzzzrrrrpp!

Red lightning pulsed through the red streak and shocked the burly man a few seconds later, causing all his hair to stand up.

"Hah! Mere paltry tricks. Do better! Hahahaha!" The burly said, feeling the tingle from the lightning.

The red streak had enough of the burly man, and with its maximum power output, it clashed with the burly man.

Crackle! Lightning crackled all over the red streak and with power greater than before, it hit the burly man.

The man's clothes were all ripped off by now and he was burnt black by the lightning. But, he didn't give up on defeating it.

Unfortunately, it was not plausible as the red streak was much overpowered than he made it out to be.

The man was pushed back little by little at first but then the speed increased and finally the red streak was fully untamed and pierced the man's chest and slammed him in the ground of the arena he was previously training in.

Ptui!

The man spat a mouthful of blood and lay down on the ground, motionless but with a happy smile.

"Finally! After all these years! Someone with great power! Hahaha!" The man said happily and fell unconscious.

…..

Lith's dorm, Abalax sky island.

Emilia was intently staring at Lith with shock visible on her face.

It had been a few hours since Lith started undergoing his breakthrough. She thought that it'll be over in a few minutes like everyone else but to her surprise, there were just too many anomalies that were occurring with him and it was taking too long for him to break through.

The intensity of Lith's aura increased as time passed and there were lots of explosions occurring in the room. She had to ensure that the room was protected and so was Lith.

She had been on guard for the whole time and constantly monitored him. She thought that she'll rescue him if things became problematic and there really were a few instances where Lith showed signs of going berserk, but, in the end, everything went well and she didn't have to do anything.

She was constantly put on edge as well and it wasn't really a good experience. She hated that. But, she couldn't say anything to Lith about it since it wasn't really his fault.

Lith was still in the same mediative position as before in the room with the only thing that changed about him being his looks and the area around him.

His hair was disheveled, his clothes were in tatters and there was a bit of dirt on his face. It was all due to the explosions that kept occurring.

Emilia noticed that he had gotten dirty only now. She couldn't change his clothes right now, but she sure could clean him, she thought.

She walked close to him and readied herself to cast a cleaning spell on Lith. But, she stopped after a few instances. She realized that casting a spell here would make the already chaotic elemental energies more chaotic and this wouldn't result well in Lith's favour.

'So I need to do it manually,' Emilia thought to herself and let out a sigh.

She took out a napkin from her ring and started wiping Lith's face. She did that first, then worked to clean his neck, then lowered his robes and cleaned his upper body. She stopped after this and tidied his hair. After all of this was done, she backed off.

Lith was clean now and she looked at him with a proud expression. She was proud of the work she did and she kept staring at him with this look.

Meanwhile…

BOOM!

The golden beam had expanded to such a high degree that everywhere one could see visually, it was golden.

In the center of all this golden atmosphere was Lith, floating in mid air with his eyes closed.

His hair was waving and his clothes were fluttering violently, but he, he was as calm as a still lake and had his eyes closed while being in a mediative state.

His spiritual energy and and soul were still very choatic and he still was in the same flight or fight state.

The two streaks of light, one purple and one silver from earlier had gotten hit by the red streaks of light but they hadn't vanished. They were still rushing towards Lith but with in a much weaker state than before.

The two streaks closed in on him and Lith opened his eyes abruptly and gazed at them.

There were no pupils in his eyes and Lith was in a berserk state.

The two streaks collied right at this time with Lith but instead of harming him, they halted when they reached him and revolved around him slowly and were getting absorbed by him.

Time passed.

Lith got out of his berserk state and the two weapons, one spear, and one sword got fully absorbed by Lith.

His berserk state also calmed down and he was back to normal.

A while later, he got out of the strange gray world and was now in his dorm.

Lith's Magic Core changed colors and he was now officially a Rank 3. The area in his Magic Core had reached a whopping 50,000 km² and that also was the peak of Rank 3.

Lith became conscious slowly and after a few more hours, his eyelids fluttered and he finally opened his eyes.

He was about to look around to see where he was but there was no need to do so. Emilia was right in front of him and was staring at him intently.

Lith looked at her and smiled. He got up and stretched. While doing so, he said,

"How was your day, Miss Emilia?"

Emilia frowned as she heard this. How was her day? It was absolutely terrible. She had to work so much! And the one to blame for all of this was this shameless student of her's stretching in front of her.

Though she thought that, she didn't say it out loud and clearing her throat, she said,

"It was okay."

Lith smiled hearing this and said, "if it was okay, why do you look so tired? Did you perhaps do that all day long to get this tired?"

Emilia knitted her brows as she heard that. She definitely knew what Lith was hinting towards and it was definitely something very unholy. This wasn't the first time had asked her stuff like that.

Her thoughts swayed and she thought of many unholy and naughty possibilities, making her have a slight blush on her cheeks.

Lith had corrupted this innocent and holy angel by a huge margin in just this one month. It was no wonder that she thought like this.

Looking at her contemplate things and her blush, Lith cleared his throat and said, "I was asking if you cooked all day or what. Don't think of anything naught from this question of mine, Miss Emilia. You're an angel, you shouldn't have such thoughts."

Emilia was pulled out of her thoughts and she looked at Lith with a little hate. It was his fault that her mind wandered like that. But she couldn't say anything to him about it since he didn't really say anything wrong and it was her fault that she thought of such things.

Lith chuckled watching her varied emotions and walked close to her. He patted her shoulder after reaching close to her and said with a smile,

"I am a Rank 3 now.
