Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lith, Dennis, Hyunsuk, and Shi walked out of the bedrock chamber.

At first, they did not know whether they should fly out of the cave or go back to the water body they came from.

To decide this, Lith made use of Hyunsuk's luck.

Previously, while walking together and using the stick method for navigation, Lith had realized that Hyunsuk's luck was independent of Shi's misfortune and the vice-versa was true as well.

For example: Hyunsuk's luck could lead them to a treasure but due to Shi's misfortune, they would suffer great troubles along the way.contemporary romance

If Shi was out of the picture, then they would reach the treasure unscathed.

However, if Hyunsuk was out of the picture, they would just suffer through calamities and reaching the treasure was not guaranteed.

With such a conclusion, kicking out the Jinx Shi may be a good idea, but Lith did not take Fate and Destiny lightly.

If he was brought to him, then there could be a greater reason.

Still, with the amount of trouble they suffered due to Shi's misfortune was outrageous.

At the start, the mantis was not much of a problem but who would've thought that a boulder equipped with runes was strong enough to almost kill Lith and Dennis.

Lith firmly believed that the devil in this cave wasn't capable of it. When he had sensed the malevolent aura, he had a rough estimate of its strength.

These runes were probably the play of some deities who were watching.

Nothing could be done about them though. Lith wasn't strong enough to counter them yet. He was just glad that they couldn't come down to this world.

What restrictions the world had, Lith didn't know. But if it didn't have any, then someone definitely would've been audacious enough to appear right in front of Lith and grab the gem.

Speaking of the gem, it was called Ignisite and contained such powerful flames that, if unleashed, could burn an entire world to crisp!

Lith was shook when he got this information from the system.

Mythical ingredients definitely were no joke.

It was also Lith's first time looking at white flames. Generally, in his world, blue were considered the hottest, but who would've thought that there would be white ones too.

It was a tiny wisp of white flame contained within the gem. But it still possessed world destroying power.

Ignisite was the crystal's name that contained the flame within it. As for what the flame was called, the system had '— — — —' in its place.

When asked what it meant, the system stated Lith's cultivation wasn't strong enough to know of it.

Lith wasn't disheartened. The road to martial peak was a long one. There was bound to be a bigger fish in each realm so it was only a matter of time before he reached the high heavens and uncovered all the truth.

Lately, since coincidences were being brought up time and again, Lith wondered—was his reincarnation not a coincidence too?

There was a veil of mystery shrouding the truth about Lith's reincarnation with no leads whatsoever.

From where should he search to find answers to his reincarnation? Lith did not know.

Well, it did not matter much since what has happened has happened, but… sometimes out of nowhere, Lith would have this itch in his heart to find an answer to this.

In any case, such worries were not needed at present.

Right now his focus on surviving the calamity Shi's misfortune would bring and reach the place Miwa was at.

Lith and the rest went back to the waterbody and with a coin toss, they came to a conclusion that they should flow along the water current and not fly back up.

As such, they did that and went back in search of Miwa.

…..

Ten days later.

Lith, Dennis, Hyunsuk, and Shi arrived in a cold chamber.

Everything around them was made of ice and in front of the two, on an ice throne, there sat the devil they had so painstakingly worked to see.

The devil was a humanoid figure, appearing neither too feminine or too masculine. 'It' would be the best term to describe this creature.

Despite possessing an androgynous beauty and horns on its heads, the devil appeared sweet and gentle to look at.

Hyunsuk and Shi felt disgust or hate for it, they were simply mesmerized by the charms.

If it wasn't for the fact that they had seen Lith's extremely handsome figure, they would've been charmed by it already.

Lith belonged to the category of handsomeness where one would throw themselves at him, be it men, women, or any sentient being.

Since his charms were so lethal, he had to learn a scripture to keep it in check.

Despite that, people below a few realms and mortals were still enthralled by him.

If not for the fact that Lith didn't venture much in public places due to his identity as a Prince, he would've already had a body count in six or even nine figures.

When Hyunsuk and Shi saw him, they were surely captivated, but Lith's control over his charisma allowed them to stay sane.

It's due to this control that no disaster had struck him yet due to his charms.

In any case, after suffering through an acid rain, a deadly swamp full of demonic beasts, a poisonous fog, an underground labyrinth, and thousands of traps, the four finally got to see the devil.

The devil retained a gentle smile on its face, totally unbothered by the strength of this group that survived through everything.

"Welcome to my humble abode, guests," the devil clasped its hands and said.

"Cut to the chase! Tell us where Miwa is?" Dennis pointed his sword at the devil and exclaimed.

The devil laughed softly and said, "If you're talking about her, then she's in a better place now."

A scene played in front of Lith and the rest.

In this scene, they saw Miwa get killed, then reincarnate, and finally reunite with her parents and have a happy life.

"Bullshit!" Dennis cursed.

Lith placed a hand on Dennis's shoulder and said, "Calm down."

The devil laughed softly again. "It's admirable how calm most of you are."

The devil was talking about Lith, Hyunsuk, and Shi.

Shi's clothes were in tatters, his face pale, and condition really miserable while Hyunsuk had minor tears on his clothing, and a few cuts here and there.

Despite their conditions, they retained a calm demeanor because Lith had specifically instructed them to not show emotions when talking to the devil.

It was also due to the fact that they did not know who Miwa was or what relation she had with Lith or Dennis.

They just thought of her as a random girl that got killed, that's about it.

Lith looked at the devil and instead of threatening or demanding anything, smiled and said, "You called us guests and didn't even offer us tea or introduce yourself. Isn't it a bit pathetic?"

"…" The devil's smiling face turned neutral as it was caught off guard. But right then, "Hahaha! My bad, I forgot the greetings."

The devil swiped his hand and a table along with chairs made of ice manifested in the chamber.

It walked down the ice throne and sat, "Please, have a seat. Let's talk lots and become friends!"
