Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 502 Moral Shackles Break Further

Chapter 502 Moral Shackles Break Further

Lucifer appeared beside Lith and hugged him. She gave him a kiss on his cheeks and clapped her hands happily.

"Amazing! That was so amazing! Hahahaha!"

Lith's bloodl.u.s.t gradually vanished after every werewolf in the village was killed. Within a few seconds, he was back to normal.

But Lith felt really, really terrible.

Looking at the corpses of children, women, and all the innocent people he had killed, Lith's expression contorted, and his mood turned for the worst.

'I… I killed innocent children?' Lith couldn't help but think.

"Hmm?" Lucifer, who was celebrating happily, felt something was off.

She turned to look at Lith's face, only to see him in a sad and depressed mood.

Lucifer knitted her brows, but then she remembered something.

'Ah, it must be that post-crazed stage.' Lucifer thought.

Like how one would feel a sort of clarity after nutting, the same was the case with bloodl.u.s.t. Once the state of bloodl.u.s.t was pa.s.sed, the person would feel terrible and regret their choices for some time.

It was just a natural emotion present in everyone. It was nature's way of protecting its weaker beings. After all, if people did not feel regret about the b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre they had wrought, why would they stop harming others?

Knowing the impact this ma.s.sacre may have on Lith's mind, Lucifer walked in front of her nephew and…

Slap!

She gave him a tight slap on his face. Then she smushed his face between her hands, making him look her in the eyes.

"Stupid nephew, you're not regretting things now, are you?"

Lith was too depressed to think of anything.

Lucifer knitted her brows but then eased them when she realized Lith was still just a child and wasn't perhaps used to such stuff.

"Hey, hey, hey, you did nothing wrong. Stop making a face like that." She said.

Lith still didn't feel better.

Lucifer sighed. 'Tsk, it seems I should've stopped him before. I shouldn't have forgotten that he was a child.'

She hugged Lith and rubbed his back, trying to make him feel comfortable and get him out of this state.

Though Lucifer thought it might be due to his age, in reality, it was due to his residual humanity.

Lith was a reincarnator and wasn't used to killing innocent people. He may be a vampire, but he had not fully embraced the mentality of vampires.

Vampires could kill anyone they wanted, eat anyone they wanted, and they would have little to no trouble. They would never put themselves in their victim's shoes and would not empathize with them.

This was why Vampires never faced the same problems as humans did and their mental state was never weighed down by guilt and remorse for their actions.

But Lith wasn't the same. He had never eaten anyone from any race and he wasn't planning to do so either. This was also the first time he ever killed innocent people, innocent children.

This really hit Lith hard and he became depressed. He thought of himself as the sc.u.mmiest of all sc.u.ms.

'What had the children ever done to deserve this?' he thought. What crimes did they commit for them to be killed by his hands?

Many such questions popped into his head, worsening his mood.

Lucifer could notice it. She broke the hug and looked at Lith again. When she looked into his eyes, she could see them turn lifeless.

'Tsk. I really hate this.' Lith looked so much better when his eyes had that cold murderous glint and not this pathetic lifeless look.

But Lucifer knew her nephew was undergoing a transitioning stage. It was from this moment onwards he either would have all his shackles broken or he'll succ.u.mb to regrets.

Thankfully, the cores weren't destroyed and they were lying on the ground. Had that not been the case, n.o.body would be able to resurrect and Lith would drown in regret over this incident.

Lucifer looked Lith in the eyes and slapped him on the face once again, jolting him awake and attracting his attention to her.

"Hey, do you think you did something wrong?" Lucifer asked seriously, her jolly expression disappearing into nowhere.

"Yes," Lith said with a sad expression. "I killed them… I killed the children… the woman… the elderly… I killed the innocents…"

Lucifer let him speak and after he was done, asked, "was it right or wrong in your opinion?"

Lith answered, "obviously wrong. They were innocent… Aunt… innocent…"

Lucifer smirked. "Do you really think so? Look at this."

She then showed a tablet screen and it was the video of the villagers charging toward Lith at the start when he was dropped down on the battlefield by Lucifer.

Lucifer zoomed in on the people and showed Lith that many people were watching and charging towards him, this included the so-called children, woman, and elderly he was grieving for.

Lucifer showed a close-up of a mother and child pair in the crowd. In that video, the mother said to her child that was standing beside her,

"Have a good look, my child. That's a vampire that you won't be able to see again for a long time. They are vile leeches. They suck the blood of any being they find. They are filthy and disgusting."

"Mommy, why disgusting?" The child asked.

"Because they suck blood, of course. They are also our big enemies. One vampire took your father's life, so grow up to be strong and be sure to kill them as soon as you see them, okay?" The mother said.

The child nodded and said happily to please his mother, "once I become strong like papa, I'll kill every vampire!"

"That's my boy." The mother patted the child.

The boy then looked at Lith with a serious gaze, having thoughts n.o.body knew of.

As Lucifer finished showing this, she showed him some more videos. In all of the videos, the villagers could be seen condemning Lith.

Lucifer asked again, "Now tell me, do you really think they were innocent?"

"You know, if you hadn't killed those children, they would've taken the lives of many other innocent vampires in the name of revenge. If you hadn't killed those women, they would've given birth to more such children. Had you not killed those elderly, they would've continued to brainwash the young into going to war and killing the vampires for no reason."

Everything Lucifer was saying apparently made sense to Lith.

Everything that had happened made sense.

Everything had a reason for it as well.

Yet he didn't feel easy and at peace.

Something felt odd.

Something was restricting him; Something about this incident still felt wrong, and he felt guilty for killing the innocent villagers.

The more he tried to move towards the path where he felt everything he did was right, something still pulled him down toward the abyss of regrets.

Lith couldn't understand it, but he tried his best to comprehend what it was that made him regret this situation so much.

Lucifer could now see Lith's sad and lifeless eyes change to become confused and show regret in them.

She smirked again and thought, 'He's finally at that stage. It's time.'

It was now time to guide Lith. Only his further actions would tell what path he would choose.

Will he embrace his humanity, or will he succ.u.mb to depravity - Only time would tell…
