Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 917 Be Careful Of The Devils

Lith, Miwa, Ralph, and Dennis stood alert and listened to Miguelʼs instructions.

A small magic circle had to be inscribed on the ground, which would then open up a portal.

Passing through this portal would take the four to the world where this legend came from.

There, the four would need to gather the ingredients and cook a stew.

Once the stewʼs ready, before tasting it, the four had to inscribe an ancient magic circle and sacrifice a bowl of stew to it.

If the bowl is accepted, the four would clear this quest and become the worldʼs greatest master chefs ever. If it isnʼt, then it was still not a problem, they would still become some of the best chefs in the world.

There was a time limit of a hundred and one days. Apparently, this was the total time of the empressʼ journey, starting from the moment she left till the moment she made the stew and fed it to her child.

This was also a survival based quest. There was no coming back from this world until the hundred and one days were over.

Before that, they had to survive somehow and make the stew.

After hundred and one days, they would be teleported back to their original place without any worries. This had been tried and tested by multiple generations.

”Another really important thing you need to know…” Miguelʼs expression turned serious, making the four feel the gravity of the situation.

”There will be Devils.”

Miguel said a simple sentence, but the four could feel how heavy it was.

Devils were such a notorious race that in Lithʼs current world, they were all fully sealed in the Abyss.

Even a single Devil roaming outside was a problem to everyone as they fed not on normal food, but on the desires of sentient beings.

This was a really strange concept and felt supernatural even to creatures living in a fantasy world as it swayed from the general norms.

How Lucifer managed to keep all the Devils in one single place was still beyond Lithʼs imagination.

Back home, Keith was a Devil, and due to her, there were a few things he had learnt. Maybe those things were going to come in handy in this adventure, thought Lith.

Miwa, Ralph, and Dennis were thinking about this Devil situation as well and Miguel gave them time to think things through.

After a while, Miguel said, ”Be careful of the Devils. Focus more on surviving rather than finding the ingredients. You can always walk on another path, but you canʼt have another life.”

The four nodded their heads in agreement.

After taking a deep breath, Miguel said, ”Alright, please wait at the side, Iʼll inscribe the magic circle.”

The four did as asked and Miguel eventually began carving things on the ground.

…..

Royal Castle, Nightingale.

Sitting on the rooftop courtyard, Lilithʼs pristine silver hair radiated under the silver moonlight.

Sipping on some tea, her unblemished face showed the ever so vivid gentleness.

”It has been two hundred years…” Lilith said softly, looking at two tablet screens in front.

For the first time in a long while, Lilith felt lonely.

Both her children were away from her and despite it being a short two hundred years, it felt like a really long time.

Though, despite feeling lonely, there was no sadness as Lilith knew that with just one thought, she could go visit her children. This power was what kept her going even during such times and made her feel relaxed.

On one of her tablet screens, Lith was on standby with his friends and on the other, there was Lucy, involved in a war.

Lucyʼs growth was exponential and she was learning to use her brain and not just her brawns.

Both of Lilithʼs children had a well rounded potential in every aspect, meaning they could become masters of all and the proverb ”Jack of all trades, master of none” didnʼt apply to them.

Lucy was inclined towards strength and war from a young age, but in this herb world where intelligence mattered more, she understood her weakness and worked on them.

Lilith was happy to see her progress and she should be returning soon.

In Lithʼs case, Lilith was slightly worried. Unlike Lucy, he had barely ever faced a life threatening problem. Although he had godly talent and capabilities, a motherʼs concern would never cease to exist.

After staring at the screens for a while, something clicked Lilith.

”Right… This is their last quest…” Lilith said softly.

Clapping her hand twice, Qingyue appeared beside her.

”Yes, Madam?” She bowed and asked.

”Ask my sisters if theyʼre free. If yes, invite them over now. Also, hand these tablets to the Dracula and Asmodeus houses.” Lilith gave two big tablets to Qingyue and said.

Qingyue took them and left after doing a small bow.

Lilith went back to watching Lith on the screen and busied herself.

…..

Dracula Territory.

Inside the Draculaʼs dark castle, wearing a crest of the Royal Family, Qingyue teleported out.

Her appearance alerted the people within the castle and only after a bit of walking, she came across Duke Reynolds and Duchess Fiona.

”Greetings from the Dracula house, Miss.” Duke and Duchess Dracula both greeted Qingyue with a slight bow.

The Royal Servants were directly associated with the Royal Clan, meaning they were higher in hierarchy than any nobles within the Vampire Society.

Everybody thus had to treat them with respect whether they liked it or not.

Qingyue bowed and greeted the two as well, a gesture reserved only for the Draculas.

If it was someone else, Qingyue wouldʼve just nodded and gotten to the point, but the Draculas were a special case.

Their child was the Princeʼs best friend, so the Royal Servants treated them differently.

”Her Majesty has asked me to deliver this. Where do you want me to place it?” Qingyue showed the tablet and asked.

The Draculas were pleasantly surprised by this. They hurried and showed Qimgyue the place, which was right in the middle of the lounge hall.

Qingyue placed the tablet there and the screen began showing what Lith was doing with his friends.

”Oh my…” Fiona gasped in amazement. ”A live stream?”

Qingyue nodded. ”This is the last part of their training. Her Majesty wants you to watch it.”

”Thatʼs so sweet of Her Majesty! Glory to the Queen!” The two Draculas bowed and said.

Qingyue nodded and was about to leave, but Fiona asked, ”Is a tablet going to be delivered to the Asmodeus house too?”

”Yes.” Qingyue replied flatly.

Fiona nodded in understanding. She could guess this. ”Please wait, let me see if Avelyn comes here. You wouldnʼt have to go there then.”

”Sure.”

Saying so, Fiona rushed to give Ralphʼs mother, Avelyn Asmodeus, a call.

…..

Lust Castle, Demon Continent.

In a dimly lit room with a pink ambiance, there lay a cushioned demonic throne, possessing thorns and serpent inscriptions on it.

All around it roamed naked beauties in the room and on the throne sat a pink-haired seductress, wearing bare minimum clothes that covered everything but her privates.

This was the Sin of Lust on her throne, Avelyn Asmodeus, busy with her administrative business.

In front of Avelyn was a beauty on her knees, her face shoved in between Avelynʼs legs.

Beside her were two more beauties and each person had their hand extended out, giving support to Avelynʼs big breasts and acting like bras.

This was a usual situation in the Lust Court, which had an entry to women only with Ralph being an exception to it.

The ladies holding Avelynʼs breasts were the ones giving out reports and whoever wanted to speak in the court, they would switch positions here.

This was a strange form of administration, but something befitting the Sin of Lust.

While getting the reports heard, a naked lady wearing anklets walked in the court, making Avelynʼs attention be on her.

She walked close to her and bowing, said, ”Thereʼs a call from the Dracula Castle, Your Majesty.”

Surprised by the sudden call, Avelyn took the phone and answered it with a smile.

”Fi-chan~~ How are you?” Avelyn asked.

”Iʼm good. Iʼm good. Ava, Iʼll get to the point, thereʼs an important broadcast happening. Itʼs of our children and…”

Fiona explained about the tablet that Qingyue had brought and asked whether Avelyn wanted to come to the Dracula Castle and watch it with her. She also said that if she doesnʼt want to, a tablet will be delivered to her, so there were no problems.

”No way! The Vampire Queen sure is awesome!” Avelyn said with visible surprise.

She got up from her place while on call and snapped her fingers, making a few naked ladies rush towards her.

”Iʼll come over, letʼs see our children together. Hmm, wait… You could come to my place too if you want.” Avelyn offered.

”Reynolds wants to see it too, Ava. I canʼt leave him.” Fiona answered.

”Alright, no worries. Iʼll come there then.” Avelyn said.

By the time this conversation happened, Avelyn got dressed in an elegant white dress with only part of her shoulder and arms being visible.

Nobody could guess the state she was in a few seconds ago with this appearance and after talking to Fiona a bit more, she left the court and walked out to visit the Dracula Castle.
