Vampire's Slice Of Life

After chatting with Lucifer for a bit more, it was now time to part ways.

But before Lucifer left, she said, "get stronger quick, okay? I'll come visit you again to see how much you've improved." 

To get a proper clarification, Lith asked, "improved where? In physical strength or bed?"

"Both, obviously." Lucifer chuckled and left.

Lith chuckled as he got a confirmation. "My cultivation is a bit low, otherwise technique wouldn't have been an issue." 

"Anyway, time to go meet the boys." 

Lith was about to leave the border area after saying so, when his phone rang and checking who had called, he saw it was his mother.

Picking it up, he chuckled and asked, "hello? Missing me already, my dearest mom?" 

"Yes, yes, I do, come back in my embrace." Lilith chuckled from the other side and said.

"You know I can't do that right now, right? I am busy with a few things." Lith said with a smile.

Lilith chuckled again and said, "Yes, I know. And you spent many weeks with me before leaving home… but oh well, I am your mama, I can be selfish with you." 

Lith nodded and said on the phone, "Yes, you can. So do you want me to?"

"I do, but I also don't want to hinder your growth. In any case, I called you to let you know about a few things. Since you are in the Elven Continent, there's a place you must visit." Lilith finally came to the main topic and said.

"Okay. What place is it?" Lith asked.

"I have no idea. You have to see it for yourself. I'll give you the coordinates, go explore it." Lilith said.

"Okay, I'll go. But do I have to do it now or can I do it later?" 

"Now. You can't waste time and delay it." Lilith answered.

"Alright. Share me the coordinates." 

Lilith did as Lith asked and after taking a look at the coordinates, Lith asked, 

"Why are there two coordinates? Do you want me to visit two places?"

"No. One coordinate is of the Elven Continent where you are supposed to head to right now. After reaching there, you'll need to enter the Astral World and from there on, head to the second coordinate."

"The Astral World? Are you sure you want to let me go there, mom?" Lith was a bit surprised.

The last event that happened in the Astral World, Lith was sure his mother probably wouldn't let him enter there until and unless he was really strong. But it hadn't even been a few weeks and she already was asking him to do something like this.

Lilith, hearing that, sighed and said, "trust me, I wouldn't have sent you if I could. But mama has her reasons."

Lilith couldn't just say that her future self had asked her to give Lith these coordinates. She thus gave him only a little bit of information. But, just like Lith, she also had no idea what thing was present at that place. She was just told by her future self that no harm shall come to Lith and thus is important for his growth.

Lith talked a bit more on this topic with Lilith and after the call ended, he dialed Dennis and Ralph's number.

As they picked up, he explained that some urgent work just came up and he had to leave for a while. In case there was anything that would require Lith's assistance, he would provide it once he was back. Until then, they could either continue with this thing or wait till Lith was back.

After his call with them was over, Lith left for the place his mother gave coordinates to.

In took a day to reach that place even after using long jump repeatdly.

Looking around the place, Lith just found it to be a jungle and there wasn't anything notable present.

Lith sat down near a tree and was about to meditate and enter the Astral World when he realized that his body would be unguarded and he may be at a risk.

Thus, he called home for help and within a minute, Noman, Ruben, and Arbour arrived at the scene.

Looking at not one, but three people arrive, Lith was slightly surprised. He thought to himself, 'they sure overdo if things if the talk is about safety.'

Lith knew Noman was an Emperor Rank and he also knew about Ruben. Though he had no idea about the rank of the other guy with them and just assumed he may be of the same rank or lower.

Lith went near a tree and sitting down in a lotus position at the base of it, he said to the three, "Please look after me. Thank you in advance."

Ruben shook his hand and said, "Your Highness you mustn't say such words, they are too polite and we aren't deserving of it."

Noman nodded in response while Arbour had no idea what to do.

"Alright, alright. Let's save ourselves from these talks, I'll be out then. Bye." Lith started meditating and didn't speak further.

Noman and Ruben waved their hands to say bye to Lith, not realising that he couldn't see them. 

While Arbour followed what the other two were doing and also waves his hands like an idiot.

After noticing Lith was in deep meditation, Ruben turned to look at Noman and did a vigorous handshake with him.

"This is the first time we have been called for actual duty. Let's do our best." 

Noman nodded. He shook hands with Ruben and replied, "let's do our best."

Arbour didn't feel included when the two did a handshake together and left him alone. 

He wouldn't lie, it was a bit sad to feel left out.

But then… 

Noman and Ruben both turned to look at him and extended their hands out, saying,

"Let's do our best."

Arbour felt warm in his heart and like an idiot, he extended both his hands out to hold their hands and said shaking them, 

"Yes, yes."
