Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 969 King Rank

Chapter 969 King Rank

From the spectator's side, Lilith had a big frown on her face.

Agalea and Alea did not have as much of an exaggerated reaction like her because they did not think much about the last summon.

All they had was confusion regarding it. Why would a puny human descend? And why was Lith so shocked when he saw that? They thought.

As for Lilith, things were far more complicated with her.

It was rare for her to show such emotional changes, but it was also not out of place, given how much she cared for her children.

With the external tribulation finishing and the dark clouds disappearing, Lilith made her way towards Lith.

He was sitting and meditating, working on his internal tribulation.

Lilith did not disturb him and squatted down, hugging her knees. She stared at his face instead of his Magic Core, and knit her brows.

Looking at the calm poker face that looked completely like her, along with the lush, silky silver on his head…

Yup, there was no doubt in Lilith's mind about it. This was the boy she had made after carrying him for a whole five hundred years. He belonged to her, there was no denying that.

Lilith's knitted brows slightly eased. However, they furrowed once again as a thought crossed her.

'But why such a strong reaction? And if it is what I am thinking it is… Why did I not feel it before?'

There were a lot of deeper mysteries involved in it than the eyes could see. There were some things only Lilith could think about and solve.

Lilith stared at Lith and patiently waited for him to get done with his internal tribulation.

Lith's complexion turned deathly pale in a while and made Lilith shift her gaze to his Magic Core.

Within it, a swarm of destructive insects were causing mayhem and also attacking Lith.

The tribulation was once again beyond what an ascender could handle.

Lith persisted and continued to fight to the best of his abilities.

The internal tribulation was also a summoning one. How many summons there would be, that was something neither Lith nor Lilith knew.

Just like Alea, Lith's body started withering as time pa.s.sed. His silver hair turned white, his body wrinkled, and his muscles degenerated, making him appear a bag of bones.

Lilith wasn't fazed. She was looking at the Magic Core and could see he was burning some of his life force to fight against a few dragons that had arrived.

Expending life force was a bit exaggerated, but with him becoming a King Rank, Lith's lifespan would be near endless, almost giving him a feeling of an immortal.

It doesn't matter if he burnt some of it right now.

The tribulation continued and was mighty, but did not exceed the limits of King Rank.

This time around, Lith was almost beaten to death by it, but managed to survive and pa.s.sed the tribulation.

His core was absolutely wrecked, with its topography being messed up, and the life forms that were appearing getting totally annihilated.

Lith was too spent to care about it for now. He opened his eyes and returned to the real world.

However, as quickly as he opened them, he shut them back as fast and went into deep sleep.

His body and soul had taken a hit and he was too tired.

Lith's aura as a King Rank leaked as he slept and looking at him, Lilith shook her head. 'The more I want to talk to him urgently, the more something comes up and delays it.'

There were some things not in Lilith's control, and majorly everything was related to her two children.

In any case, she held Lith in her arms and had a small chat with Agalea and Alea.

Lilith told them Lith was burnt out and sleeping, then insisted for them to rest, but Agalea and Alea politely denied and left the castle.

Alea had to consolidate her cultivation and Agalea was busy too, hence they couldn't stay even if they wanted to and left.

Alea promised to come back after she finished consolidating and Lilith wished her good luck.

Once they were gone, Lilith took Lith to his bedroom and shut herself in with him.

While he slept, she opened up a live stream and looked at what her eldest child was up to.

…..

Time pa.s.sed.

Lith didn't know how long he slept, but he had a good sleep and wasn't exhausted like before.

The last thing he knew before dozing off was that he had successfully managed to defend against his internal tribulation.

It sure was tough, but not off the charts like the previous one where he required external help.

Even with his eyes closed, Lith could feel the King Rank energy within him.

In a happy mood, he opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar room.

Before he could look around, a gentle voice rang in his ears.

"Good morning. Did you have a good sleep?"

Looking around, Lith saw his mother's ever beautiful face. Not a single sign of aging, and even after three centuries, she seemed the same lady in her early 30s he had seen when he first arrived in this world.

Wait…

Wait a second, why did he suddenly have such a thought?

The gears in Lith's mind turned fast to come to a conclusion, but Lilith was faster.

She snapped her fingers and Lith switched positions.

He was now sitting on a chair by his study table, with his mother sitting right in front of him.

Lilith leaned forwards and bringing her face close enough for Lith to feel her breath, she touched his chin with her index finger and said with serious eyes, "It's time to tell mama everything."

The atmosphere was tense; the situation, serious.

Lith had only just woken up, but he knew his mother could tell whether he was fully awake or still half asleep. In the current case, it was the former.

"I can tell you…" Lith took a deep breath. Then peered back at her purple eyes, and continued, "but do you want to listen?"

"Hm?" Lilith tilted her head in confusion. "What can there be in the world that mama won't want to listen to?"

Lith sighed. "Mom, it's far more serious than you think. I don't have a problem answering, but are you sure you'll be the same you are right now? Are you sure our relationship—"

"Hold it," Lilith pressed her index finger against Lith's lips and knit her brows.

She then took it away and flicked Lith's forehead.

"Owf!" Lith rubbed his forehead. It was painful!

Years of torture training had proven to be useless in front of one forehead flick from his mother. What level of cultivation was this!?

Lilith didn't rub Lith's forehead like she usually did and let him suffer for a bit. While he did so, she continued, "Don't dare to question our relationship."

This was one of the sensitive topics that shouldn't be touched upon, let alone questioned.

Lith could feel his mother's unhappiness and smiled wryly in response. He was just trying to warn her…

Lilith leaned back and propped her chin on her hands. "Go ahead, say what you have been hiding. Mama needs to know. And yes, this is very important. And no, you cannot back out. And also yes, you shouldn't lie. Mama has the means to detect it."

Lith rubbed his temples. 'Mom's in full questionnaire mode. Didn't think there would be such a side to her. It's weird… but also somewhat brings me comfort. What a strange feeling…'
