Vampire's Slice of Life

Chapter 740 An Apocalypse Is Coming

The first thing that popped up in Lith's mind as he wrote those three words was about what he knew about them.

Rage swelled up within him as he recalled the things done by that clan, still, he tried to suppress it and focused on the things he knew.

The very first thing he recalled was them being a clan full of Legendary Ranks.

As far as he knew, his mother was a Legendary Rank as well.

Though with just her strength it was nigh impossible to win against the Evure God Clan.

Lith didn't know what the actual strength was of a Legendary Rank, but he knew that one person won't be able to defeat an entire clan if the highest members of the said clan were of the same realm as the person.

'I've not battled with anyone as if my life depended on it yet. However, I am prepared if there ever comes a time like this.'

Life and death battles weren't simple. There was a lot that went into play in them other than the normal attacks via spells and artifacts.

Each person had many underlying tricks and what would come next was something not easily predictable.

Not to mention, when one knew they were going to die anyway, the instincts to cause the utmost damage to their foe would shoot up, making them reach monstrous levels of strength.

If one person was formidable to such a degree before their deaths, what would be the case with a clan filled with Gods?

Lith sighed.

Just killing an immortal was a task in itself. He couldn't even imagine what it would take to kill a God, let alone a clan filled with Gods.

"Preparation is needed. Lots and lots of preparation is needed." Lith said out loud.

Now that he had sat down to think about things and was planning stuff, the harsh reality dawned on him.

He was at level zero despite being an immortal at such a young age.

He was in his youth and was enjoying himself without a care, but someday or the other, he would need to step up and take responsibility.

"Why wait for such a 'someday' to come?" Lith thought out loud. "I might as well just start from today, from this very instant onwards."

As Lith continued to write more things on the paper, the more alarming the situation became.

Ever since stepping into the Astral Realm, he had felt a strange sense of danger and was always pushing to become the best version of himself.

However, now the danger seemed to have intensified.

Lith felt as if there was a dagger a few inches away from his neck, ready to pierce him at any moment's notice.

Gates to other worlds had opened up, there was a constant flow of creatures from the other side into this world.

These gates weren't leading to dimensions connected to this world anymore, but a completely different set of worlds with its own rules.

If the Evure God Clan members were to know of this world, it would spell doom.

A literal apocalypse would arrive and everything would be destroyed, including Lith and his family.

Alarms rang in Lith's mind as he came to this realization and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

With a chill down his spine, Lith's senses heightened up and he thought out loud, " an apocalypse…"

[Ding!]

[Host has a message.]

The chill within Lith subdued instantly as he got a notification from the system.

Blinking stupendously, he asked, "what is it?"

[Playing message…]

In the next instant, Lith's vision darkened and the next thing he knew, he found himself standing in front of a raging volcano, appearing to erupt at any moment's notice.

The surroundings were dark and gloomy, but had a red tint to them due to the volcano.

A second later, a giant shadowy figure manifested right in front of Lith.

The shadow appeared like a knight, though there were no details on it and it was just an outline.

"We meet again, bumpkin."

Lith heard a familiar voice.

Without giving a change to Lith to speak, the shadow bent down to meet Lith's eye level and putting his index finger on Lith's forehead, he slightly poked him and asked,

"Why are your emotions in such turmoil?"

"Grand Lust Sovereign…" Lith said softly and then sighed. "Why am I seeing you right now?"

"You're my only inheritor and the system detected dangerous levels of chaotic emotions from you, thus triggering this message from me. I am not real, just a pre-recorded message."

"I see." Lith answered. He then sighed and answered, "it's for the first time I've encountered something that makes me stressed, hence the turmoil."

"Hmm…" the shadow hummed. "What have you encountered?"

"Would telling you do me any better?" Lith asked.

"It sure will." The shadow answered instantly.

"But aren't you a pre-recorded message? How can you interact with me and provide a solution?" Lith didn't understand and asked.

The shadow sighed in response. "I really do not understand how my inheritor is such an idiot. You stupid bumpkin, who do you think am I? A puny immortal?"

Lith blinked in befuddlement and couldn't tell why the shadow seemed annoyed.

"I am literally the universe's number one dual cultivator, a mighty God! Do you think a pre-recorded message from me will just be an announcement!?"

'Oh, he's offended.' Lith thought.

Clearing his throat, Lith replied, "my bad. What do you want to know?"

"Everything." The shadow replied. "Since you're able to trigger this message, I am assuming it's something really serious you're going through. Tell me what the problem is, I'll try to help you this time."

Lith stared at the shadow for a good while as he heard that and thought, 'what sort of luck do I have to get such help out of nowhere?'

Shaking his head, he looked at the shadow and said, "well… what's happening is…"

Lith tried to explain the situation in a manner he would to a friend.

He didn't hand out all the personal details, just enough that would let the other party know what the problem was and provide solutions.

Once he was done explaining, the shadow said, "so an apocalypse is on your way… hmm…"

Lith nodded his head. "That's right."

The shadow looked at him and shaking his head, said, "it's such a small thing, bumpkin. Why are you worried so much?"

"What?"
