Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

Vice Principal’s office, Abalax World Academy.

Eric arrived into his office and sat on the chair present behind his work desk. He gazed into the space in front of him and muttered with his brows furrowed,

“Damn it. I almost made a fool of myself there. Had he not been Graham’s son and ancestor had high hopes for him, I wouldn’t have visited him like that.

Ahh, ancestor, why, just why would you punish me like this? What wrong did I commit to get myself crippled temporarily? Not only did you take two of my arms, my magic core is also temporarily suppressed to a rank 9. Just why? What wrong did I do?”

…

Park, sky island.

An hour later.

Buzz!

Lith got a call from an unknown number, and his phone buzzed. He hadn’t given his number to many, so it was rare to see someone call. Curious as to who called, he picked up the phone.

A cheerful voice rang out from the other side, stating,

“Good day, sir Ray. I am Zephyr, calling from the assassin branch of Scelestus. This is an encrypted call, so you don’t have to worry about anyone listening or monitoring our conversation.

We talked a few days ago, and you were interested in Relz Khiv, am I correct?”

“Yes.” Lith answered in a neutral tone.

He roughly guessed as to why this call was made and internally he hoped that his guess was right. However, he kept calm and didn’t show any extra emotions while on call.

“Sir, Relz Khiv has recently checked in, in Kezro city’s assassin branch. He is now out on a mission in Haslingberg city in Uklov country. I’ve asked people to keep an eye out on him. If sir wants, I’ll provide you with his location right about now on your phone.” Zephyr said.

“Yes, please do. I’ll leave for Haslingberg right away.” Lith said in a neutral tone.

Though he said neutrally, internally he was screaming in excitement.

‘FINALLY! I AM FINALLY GONNA SEE THAT FUCKER WHO TRIED TO ASSASSINATE ME!’

Lith had been thinking about the assassination attempt on him for the past few days. He couldn’t get the thought out of his head. It worried him, and he was frustrated that he wouldn’t be able to meet this guy.

However, he buried everything deep inside him and didn’t let his worries surface. He couldn’t let others know about it. Especially his teacher, mother or sister. These three would overdo things, and the consequences would be too dire. Thus, he buried them and didn’t let it surface.

Now he finally found the guy who tried to assassinate him and thus was very happy.

Lith cut the call and quickly dialed Hecate’s number. As usual, Hecate picked up the call pretty quickly and said from the other side,

“How may I help you, your highness?”

“Miss Hecate, can you please take me to Haslingberg as soon as possible?” Lith said hurriedly and didn’t bother to tell her to not call him your highness.

“Okay. Anything else?”

“No.”

“I’ll be there in a minute then.”

“Alright.”

Lith cut the call after he finished speaking to Hecate.

Hecate arrived on time just as she said and teleported to Haslingberg with him as per his request.

She cast a disguise spell on him which could be removed if he wanted to, on his request and dropping Lith off in a dark alley, Hecate left.

Lith took out his phone and checked Relz’s location which Zephyr had sent him. ????????????????????????????. ????????????

‘Currently, two kilometers away from here. Good, not too far,’ Lith thought as he looked at the location.

Lith rushed out of the valley and to Relz’s location. He had made preparations for today. It’s been this way since he first met Zephyr. He was well prepared because he assumed he would receive an update from Scelestus at any time.

Lith had rushed to the area and was only a few meters away from an abandoned house. A few more similar houses surrounded the house, and the streets nearby were deserted.

Lith walked into the house opposite to where Relz was supposed to be in. He cast a dark spell on himself to hide stealthily and walked into the opposite house so as to not spook him.

He wanted to make sure his opponent wasn’t a stronger opponent before taking action. It would be extremely troublesome if that were the case. He didn’t charge into the house Relz was in because it was always good to be cautious.

As he approached the abandoned house’s rooftop, Lith knelt to match his height with the railings. He moved closer to the railing near the abandoned house Relz was in and attempted to peer inside the house to see Relz.

He searched for him and continuously monitored the movements or any magical fluctuations that may occur in the house opposite to him. However, he found nothing in there. It was as if there was nothing present there.

Just as he was starting to get frustrated and was about to call Zephyr, he heard footsteps in his own house.

Someone was walking to the rooftop!

‘Holy shit!’ Lith slightly panicked as he heard the footsteps.

He quickly rushed towards the door of the rooftop, which was closed, and climbed to the area present above the door. He cast another dark spell on himself and lay prone on the area present above the door and tried his best to hide.

Tap!

Tap!

Lith could hear the footsteps becoming louder and louder, indicating that someone was approaching him. This time, Lith didn’t panic like he had before.

In fact, the closer the footsteps were getting, the more calm and focused Lith was starting to become. He had pretty decent battle experience from the training he did all these years and at such critical moments, this helped him to stay calm.

Lith’s entire focus was now on the person coming towards him. Soon, the door of the rooftop creaked open and a person, about the same height and build as him walked out.

Lith couldn’t see the figure’s front and could only see the back. He didn’t charge straight away and was fully on guard as the person walked away from the door, towards the railing.

‘He didn’t notice me. It seems he isn’t someone of rank 6 and above. Good. Makes this even easier now.’ Lith thought to himself as he looked at the person.
