Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 460 A Class Mission

Lilith arrived wearing a regal dark blue dress that accentuated her perfect figure. Her curves, all in the right place, were a feast for the eyes.

The dark clothing contrasting with her silver hair was a sight to behold. It made Lith look at her with an awe-struck expression.

Lilith chuckled upon noticing Lith's expression and said, "Can we go if you have finished staring?"

Lith got out of his stupor and replied, "Mom looks beautiful."

One must always compliment their ladies. It kept them happy.

Lilith smiled and replied, "thank you, baby. You look handsome as well."

That was true as well.

Lith had his hair tied in a man bun and wore casual clothes. He looked like an absolute piece of art, just like Lilith. Her compliments weren't false in any form.

Lith stood up and walked towards Lilith. He extended his elbow out and asked, "shall we?"

Lilith decided to reply with her actions. She locked his arm with her arm, and in the next instant, both disappeared from the castle.

Location - The World Tree, 10,000 km above the ground.

A black-haired youngster was seated on the chairs near the bar inside a tavern. He waited for his drinks, viewing the atmosphere in the room.

Though everyone was having fun over drinks and food, this youngster was not one of them. His mood was gloomy.

'Why have things been delayed so much? And what's with the notification telling me the apocalypse is coming closer? I am trying my best to extend it, so what is causing it to accelerate its timeline? It seems I'll need to move faster than before. I have to find that baby and kill it.'

'Previously, I thought killing a baby would get me the abilities. But thankfully, I wasn't rash and realized that I needed to wait until he formed his core.'

'The core must've formed by now, and he should be attending the academy entrance exam in a few years. I'll take him out when he's in Espat.'

The man's thoughts were anything but good.

The one thinking about the apocalypses and notifications- who else could it be but Lucas, the only system user in the world?

Lucas's thoughts were about to turn darker when he was interrupted by the bartender, who slammed a pitcher full of beer in front of him and said, "order's up!"

Lucas tipped him and sent him away. He took his beer and had a sip of it.

Having just a bit, he put it down and said slowly while wiping his mouth, "Elven beers are indeed amazing."

"It indeed is."

Someone replied to Lucas, making him turn his head and look toward the person. It was Qianyu.

Without any greetings, Lucas asked, "did you bring the information?"

Qianyu, currently in disguise, handed him an envelope and asked, "did I have any other option?" And then she ordered beer for herself.

Lucas opened the envelope and read its contents.

"You did a good job," He whispered as he set the envelope on fire.

"Compliments don't feed my stomach, Mister," Qianyu reminded the man.

Lucas shook his head as he took out an item from thin air and handed it to Qianyu.

"Here. Our deal has concluded. You do not have anything to do with me, nor do I have anything to do with you."

Qianyu didn't bother to check what Lucas gave her and left.

After she was gone, Lucas ordered one more beer. After he finished it, he slumped on the bar counter and sighed.

'I used almost all my coins to buy the yellow jade pin from the system's shop. I am as good as broke now.'

Lucas was too poor to afford any expensive alcohol. So, he had to drink the cheapest beer in the tavern.

Despite being the cheapest, the beer was of top quality and not something one could find anywhere in the world apart from the Elven Continent.

After finishing his drinks, Lucas asked the system, 'how much time is left?'

Soon, he heard a mechanical voice in his head along with a panel that stated:

[A class mission <<Foil the Conspiracy>> time left: 26 months…]

The system gave the exact number of months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds to Lucas. It gave him a headache.

He only wanted to know the number of months.

It was one of the long-term missions that the system had issued. Although it may seem like Lucas had a lot of time, he, in fact, had to hurry. Time would pass by in the blink of an eye, and he may not even be able to finish this mission.

But now that Lucas was at the bar, he couldn't help but procrastinate.

"Maybe I'll start from tomorrow onward."

Lucas muttered as he slumped onto the bar counter after finishing his third beer.

Shiroi Neko Country, Elven Continent.

Sakura Mito, Celadon City.

Lith teleported out of thin air along with Lilith. They both were standing on the pavement lined by tall bamboo trees.

They had arrived in the bamboo forest of the Sakura Mito district.

"Let's go and get changed." Lith said to his mother with a smile, "We will seem out of place if we do not change our clothes. Look, there is even a clothing shop nearby."

Lith had planned things before asking Lilith out on a date. His goal was to visit the cherry blossom district in the Cat tribe country of the beastkin.

Shiroi Neko literally meant the white cat. He was the ancestor of the Cat tribe who had done a lot of good for them. So, the Cat tribe named their country after him.

Hearing that she had to get changed again, Lilith slightly knitted her brows and said, "I dressed up so much to get changed again?"

Lith chuckled upon hearing that. "Yes. Didn't I say we should leave right away? It was you who insisted on changing."

Lilith pouted in annoyance as she heard that.

'Oh damn! So cute! I mean, Kawaii!'

Lith said in his heart as he chuckled in response.

He then held Lilith's hand and dragged her toward the shop.

"Let's not waste time. We have to see the cherry blossoms before the night falls."

"Let's go!"
