Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 503 Slave Lith

The Vampire Prince was half-conscious from being mushed between the Demon Queenʼs palms.

Lucifer had ensured to put Lith in such a state as this would help him focus better on the things she was about to show him.

Lithʼs eyes were half closed, and he was thinking about nothing. His mind was totally blank, but he retained consciousness. He was aware that he was looking at nothing.

A few moments later, a bright light appeared in front of Lithʼs eyes, and he was now standing in the middle of a dusty ground.

Looking around, Lith saw many people shackled with chains, hitting the ground with a hammer and mining. He then looked at himself and noticed that he was doing the same thing.

ʼThis is… a dream?ʼ Lith thought. He knew he was fighting someone before. Who it was, he had no idea.

But suddenly, he was in a different situation. The only possible explanation was that it was probably a dream or something.

He couldnʼt remember anything other than the fact that he was fighting someone before arriving here. He had no idea what he was doing before. He suddenly didnʼt even remember what future plans he had or what he did after separating from Ralph and Dennis and coming to the border area.

But that aside, Lith had a question as he looked around, ʼWhy am I a slave here?ʼ

Being shackled and made to work like this, only enslaved people were made to do such stuff. He knew about this because the Royal Clan had many such people with them, working in mines and various other places.

Lith hadnʼt moved his pickaxe and was just standing there, analyzing things. It hadnʼt even been a few seconds when he heard a whipping noise, followed by a sting on his back that hurt a lot.

Lith, however, didnʼt make any grunting or groaning noise as he was trained to have a high resistance to pain.

He looked back to see who might have hurt him, only to see a young child staring at him with a furious gaze.

”You! Stop looking around and work!”

Lith was confused about his situation. But before he could even think of what was happening...

Slap!

He got slapped by the young child with the whip on his face.

A deep cut opened on his face, and blood started to gush out.

However, Lith didnʼt react and simply looked at the kid.

The kid became furious when Lith did not show any reaction.

”I SAID GET TO WORK!”

The kid whipped Lith again, but to his disappointment, Lith showed no reaction to his violence. Again.

Lith had a high pain tolerance, such a thing was nothing to him. Plus, he knew this might be a dream.

But yes, judging from how he felt hurt as if it was reality, Lith became aware of one fact. He may die if he died here and had to be cautious.

If he died in dreams, his consciousness would be wiped out, eventually causing him to be dead in real life.

Lith started working without stalling anymore. He did not give the kid a chance to whip him again because he realized his powers may have been sealed. He thought so because the blood did not stop gushing out from the cut on his face.

He was a vampire, and his regenerative ability shouldʼve closed the tiny wound long ago, but it didnʼt. So it was apparent that he was just a mere ordinary mortal now.

The kid was really annoyed to see Lith not show any reaction. Every time he whipped someone, they would beg him to stop and would be in tears before returning to work.

But this new guy... He didnʼt react, and this was starting to make him annoyed.

Lith had no idea what was happening, but he got whipped a lot more than others. A whip would land on him if he made even the slightest of mistakes when mining. Lith could tell that the kid had an eye on him.

ʼI wonder what everything is all about here? I can feel no affinity to elements, I can feel nothing here. Other than my mental strength, I have no powers at all.ʼ Lith thought after making a deep analysis.

But he knew he couldnʼt do more in this situation as he would probably be bullied more by this little kid.

Lith wasnʼt angry at the kid. He knew the laws of the world. If you werenʼt strong, you could even be beaten to death by a little kid. And currently, Lith was the weaker one in this situation.

He did his best to work and didnʼt make any mistakes, eventually leaving no chance for the kid to whip him.

The sun set in the sky, and the day was over. Lith and the other slave miners were taken to their dwellings in big batches on a large carriage.

Lith lay low and blended in with everyone, not showing any signs of being an extraordinary individual.

After a while, he saw a big blue-colored barrier enclosing a wide area in a forest.

The carriage passed through it, and Lith was now inside a slum inside the forest.

After he and the other slaves were freed, he could return to his small hut.

For some reason, Lith knew where his hut was. He went there and opened the door. He saw a straw mat lying on the ground. There was a small cooking area at one side, a vessel containing water, a few pots, and some ration in a corner.

Lith entered this small hut and sat cross-legged on the mat. He then checked his wounds, only to find them still stinging.

”Whatever dream this is, it feels very real,” Lith said softly. ”But what made me end up here? What did I trigger? Or what caused it?”

After having a series of questions and analyzing things, Lith finally arrived at the question, ”Lastly, what must I do to get out?”

Just as he asked this question…

Knock! Knock!
