Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

Fuusssshhhhh

Lucifer took off from her spot and rushed towards her nephew. Lith stood on guard to defend against the incoming attack.

In the next instant, Lucifer vanished in front of his eyes and…

BAM!

Lith blocked a punch coming at his sides and jumped in the air to defend from a kick aimed at his knee.

As soon as he landed, Lith sent a punch at Lucifer who was standing right beside him. Unfortunately, his fist failed to land on her face.

Lucifer distanced herself and thought, 'Not bad. Good reflexes he's got. Well, of course, he's my nephew after all.'

The current number on their badges still remained zero after this short exchange. Lith then teleported right in front of Lucifer by casting Short Jump and sent an attack at her stomach.

Lucifer easily blocked it and vanished before his eyes. She was already in the air and attacked his head from the top with a punch.

Lith blocked it by tilting sideways and lifted his knees up to hit her face but she had disappeared again.

One was proficient in Space, the other in the Dark element. Both had ways to make high-speed movements without letting the other know of it.

Lucifer had her cultivation suppressed to Saint Rank and so Lith was not completely at a disadvantage. He could predict where she would appear next.

Even if she had suppressed her cultivation, Lucifer still had her experience of a Supreme Rank. It was easy for her to locate Lith even if he used Space.

The two exchanged blows by having elemental energies act only as support.

But after an hour of continuous exchange, they could not find any opening in their opponent's defenses. Thus, they changed their strategy.

Lith created a sword out of Destruction energy and imbued it with Lightning elemental energy to send powerful attacks.

'She seems to be proficient in the Dark element,' Lith assumed. So he used elements that could counter her.

Lucifer smirked as she saw him use elements that she was the most proficient in.

She had an affinity for Dark, Death, Destruction, Fire, and Wind elements.

In no way could she not counter his attacks with her own.

She didn't use any weapons like Lith and still resorted to using her bare hands to fight. She assumed that his attacks wouldn't really hurt her much.

Lith used Space elemental energy and once again closed in on Lucifer, slashing not at her body but at the space at his side.

It may have been a surprise attack if it was someone of similar rank as him, but for a Supreme Rank who was sensitive to elemental energy, it was child's play. Lucifer easily foresaw the incoming attack.

She was not worried it would hit her but knowing she had to put up her disguise, she acted slightly surprised to see the attack coming at her suddenly and then immediately blocked it.

Ding!

The badge on Lucifer's chest rang and the point went up to one.

Lucifer was confused but before she could see what was going on, she felt a numbing sensation on her forearms with which she had blocked Lith's sword.

Lucifer backed away immediately and checked her arms, only to see Lith's sword had left a deep cut on her arms. The wound was also bleeding profusely.

'Tsk. He really is strong for his rank.' She thought as she looked at retreating Lith.

Lucifer had underestimated Lith's combat prowess. He was no slouch, contrary to her beliefs.

Lucifer stopped being cocky and made a sword of her own. Then, she moved toward Lith with the fully formed sword in her hands. She was not going to lose to her little nephew!

Lith, looking at her walk towards him, held his sword in a defensive stance and readied himself for her incoming attack.

The last time he attacked her, it felt as if he was hitting a steel rod with a stick. He felt his hands become numb after the attack.

But thankfully, he had won a point.

Lucifer made a longsword with Destruction elemental energy and slowly walked towards him like the demoness she was, her eyes glowing with a malicious glint and visible murder.

Frightening the enemy was another strategy to win a fight. If Lucifer shook Lith's will to fight and he gave up, it would be her win.

Lith however didn't back away and his resolve to defeat her only steeled further.

He wasn't going to lose to someone of similar rank!

Looking at Lucifer's sword, Lith was amazed. It seemed much better than his own.

Lith wondered how long she was in this realm to have such proficiency. He was still far too new and couldn't make something like her.

Still, it didn't shake Lith's resolve to defeat her.

Lucifer decided to not go overboard and hit Lith just enough to gain some points.

Eventually, she managed to break his Destruction sword with her own and landed a hit on him, turning the number on her badge to zero.

Lith's badge had no effect as Lucifer simply ended up nullifying her own point.

Once Lith's badge showed number ten on it, Lucifer would win the match.

Lith backed away after his sword broke. He had confirmed that Lucifer was indeed someone stronger than him.

But judging from the intensity of the attacks, she shouldn't be someone of too high of a level and should be within his range.

Lith found Lucifer a perfect opponent to fight.

She was young and as talented as him. He could finally fight as much as he wanted without problems.

Lith's will to battle became stronger and he started to give it his all. He was also beginning to enjoy this battle. ????????n????????а????. ????????m

'It was good I didn't simply run away. Not every day can I come across someone of similar strength as me, do I?' Lith thought to himself.

With renewed vigor, Lith once again charged toward Lucifer by reforming a Destruction sword. He also cast a small Space barrier around him, that was not clearly noticeable.

Lucifer once again managed to break his sword but wasn't able to do any damage to him as her sword didn't cut him but instead got sucked into a void tear.

Having his second sword broken, Lith was sure using Destruction energy was not going to help the situation. He then decided to use Lightning energy as it had proved effective before. He managed to land a hit on her previously only because of the Lightning imbued in his sword.

Lith created a Lightning lance to give him an extra range and charged at Lucifer again, trying to land a hit.

Lucifer continued to use her Destruction sword and the two went into a stalemate.

Lith didn't want to show too many of his elements to Lucifer as he used them as his trump cards; Something which he would only use during emergencies. Lucifer also didn't go overboard as she was afraid of hurting her nephew and it would not be a fair match if she gave it her all.

Lith was young and also her nephew. She may be really shameless but she wouldn't go back on her words to remove her suppression and win the fight.

Thus, even after many hours, nobody managed to go past two points and the stalemate continued.

After an entire twenty-four hours, Lucifer felt lazy. She was bored of continuing this farce of a battle. She paused attacking and said,

"Stop! Let's call it a draw."

Lith stopped while breathing heavily. He looked at Lucifer who seemed like she could go for another 300 rounds.

Although Lith seemed a bit tired of using his body and mind at full capacity against Lucifer, he was nowhere done. He still could fight for a long time.

"No, not yet. Let's fight a bit more."

Lith was pumped up to find someone similar and didn't want to let go of this opportunity to test everything he could.

He charged toward Lucifer with a hammer this time and continued to attack her.

Lucifer clicked her thinking her nephew was a bit of a battle maniac. It seemed her words were going to cause trouble for herself later.

Sure enough, Lucifer tried to stop the match after scoring three more points but Lith didn't let it happen.

Finally, after four nights and five days, Lith felt it was enough and decided to stop.

He had learned a lot from this battle. Due to the stalemate, nobody won or lost and it was a draw.

Lucifer finally said once the match ended, "you sure are troublesome."

Lith chuckled. "So are you."

After five days, Lith came to the conclusion that the lady in front had no malicious intent despite looking suspicious. She seemed an easygoing and fun person.

Also, for reasons Lith didn't know, she didn't seem like someone who was bent on defeating Lith. He had guessed that she hadn't gone all out in their battle.

Lith had also not shown all his cards in the battle, but he still knew his depth. His instincts told him that the person before him was a lot more mysterious than he could think. He could not see through her even after fighting for so long.

Lith felt the person in front was interesting. For the first time, he encountered someone so strange that he wanted to form a connection with them. He didn't want to let go of her so easily.

Lucifer smiled at Lith, and she was about to leave when her phone rang.

Looking at who had called, she saw it was Mayzin.

Lucifer knitted her brows as she felt something wasn't right. Though she could not figure out what was wrong, she knew in her heart that she shouldn't answer this call.

Lucifer put the phone down and decided to chat with Lith a bit more before leaving.

But her phone rang again.

And again.

And again.

'Tsk. This bitch.' Veins popped on Lucifer's forehead as she was annoyed by the constant disturbance.

She had an ominous feeling, like something bad was about to happen, but she couldn't point it out. She was having difficulty recalling.

Lith, looking at Lucifer struggle so much for a call, stated calmly,

"Why not just pick it—"

"Shush." Lucifer was annoyed as is and didn't want someone interrupting her.

Lith shrugged. He was just suggesting.

A few more calls later, Lucifer was irked and finally picked it up. She immediately let out expletives as she brought the phone to her ear.

"You bi—"

"Aha! You had a draw! Hahahahaha!"
