Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lucas was nearly there and all he had to do was touch the kid.

Doing so would ensure the kid is pulled into the subspace present in the system and Lucas could then teleport away from the guards. From there on, he could go about his ways and finally harvest the prodigy and get himself an all elemental affinity.

This plan, although sounded really simple, took great efforts to come to fruition. 

Lucas had to stalk the kid's family for a long time and in this process he ended up learning too many unwanted things about them.

It wasn't a great experience but Lucas felt that it was worth it as long as he became an all elemental mage.

At present, the affinities Lucas had were Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Dark. He didn't have anything extraordinary or mind blowing affinity like Space or Time or Life.

Lucas was as ordinary and average as one could get.

He was only just strong right now because he had memories of the future and was forced to work hard by the system. Plus, he had access to great resources from the system.

Thus, having amassed strength upto Rank 9 and being at the peak of mortal realms, Lucas was now going to clash with immortals.

Lucas sneaked really close to the guards and just as he was about to penetrate inside their fortress when the sound of lightning echoed in the surrounding.

The sound became louder with each passing second. 

[Danger!]

[Danger!]

[Danger!]

Alarms rang in Lucas's mind as the lightning sound became louder. He had a rough idea of who it was but he ignored it and focused fully on getting the kid.

The alarms intensified with each passing instant while the lightning became louder. 

But finally Lucas reached the kid. He was now one inch away from touching him and he would be set for a lifetime.

He would finally have an elemental affinity!

Just as Lucas neared and was about to touch the kid…

Zwwwipppp!

BOOM!

Lucas's hand got hit by a bolt of lightning and was destroyed, causing him to let out a pained groan. 

The lightning then travelled through his body and burnt it, causing him to be in a semi-dead state.

[Danger! Host is in danger!]

[Teleporting…]

The system's voice rang in his mind and he was immediately teleported away from the scene.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Three more streaks of lightning flashed close to the guards and near the immortals.

The people had realized that a powerhouse had arrived in the scene and the hired immortals immediately fled while the guards sighed in relief.

Soon, Emilia descended down and looked around, only to see people run away.

Sel appeared beside her a few moments later and looking around, she said, "It seems they've fled."

Emilia, looking at a distance, squinted her eyes and said, "Not on my watch."

She then threw her hammer in a particular direction and a few moments later, the hammer arrived back to Emilia and along with it, brought the four hired immortals who were trying to run away.

The four people were tied up to the lightning hammer and since it was something an Emperor Rank made, they weren't able to handle the pressure from the element and were severely burnt and injured.

Looking at them, Emilia might've shown some sympathy and let them be free, but these people dared to attack a participant of the academy exam. They wouldn't be allowed to go so easily.

The four hired immortals, looking at Emilia, cowered in fear and said, "P-please don't hurt us…"

They begged Emilia and also told her that they were hired to just distract those guards.

Emilia knitted her brows as the people pleaded and begged in front of her. She realised that they were just doing their job and hadn't harmed the guards or the child in any way.

But they were still people who participated in harming the child. 

Emilia walked close to them and making a lightning spear, she pointed it at the face of an immortal and asked,

"Where is the fifth person?" 

She tried her best to appear as haughty and domineering as possible.

Although she was an Emperor Rank powerhouse, she was a Seraphim who wouldn't even hurt an ant. She strongly disliked torture and causing harm to others.

But this didn't mean she didn't have the ability to kill people or harm them.

Despite her dislikes, she had to go out of her way to do things sometimes and now the situation was the same.

The hired immortals shivered in fear and answered that they didn't know.

Emilia put pressure on them but the answer stayed the same.

After repeating this process three more times, Emilia realized that these people might really be saying the truth.

She then decreased her pressure from them and looking at Sel, she said, "Take them and get as much as information as you can. Also, call the press. I want to address this issue."

The War Angel had not made a public appearance for quite some years now. Many didn't even have an idea that she was the principal of the academy.

Emilia thus wanted to let everyone know what offending her meant and was now going to make a public appearance regarding the same.

Sel bowed and left after getting her instructions from Emilia.

She knew what her madam meant by getting answers and could read between the lines. The translation of Emilia's words was that anything could be done to these people as long as answers were out. Emilia showed no mercy this time.

Once the hired immortals were taken care of, Emilia used her teleportation artifact and sent the guards and the kid back home.

Once Arya became a Supreme Rank, she ended up gifting Emilia and a few others Space artifacts. These artifacts were made by her and they could be used for continental jumps without problems.

After Emilia sent everyone home, she went to the academy to prepare for her public appearance.

Meanwhile…

Somewhere in a cave in the Human Continent.

"DAMN IT!" 

BAM!

Lucas, who had just teleported out, hit the wall in front of him and cursed.

His body was severely injured and burnt and his appearance seemed really grotesque.

He hit the wall repeatedly and said cursing, "This close… I was this close…"

He punched the wall again as his eyes became numb and were filled with tears.

"Why…"

Bam!

"Why can't I get that…" 

Bam!

Lucas sobbed lightly while punching the wall.

He did this a few more times and stopped. His body leaned on a wall and he curled up.

"Why… Why is everything going so shit? What's the point of becoming a regressor when I can't even do shit with the memories? What is the worth of my life!?" Lucas complained and cried.

"I spent all the money I had on the potions, the hiring of the immortals and whatnot. I put in so much effort and took everything into consideration before attacking. How in the hell did the principal arrive?"

"Wasn't she supposed to be away from the academy right now? Just what happened!?"

Lucas was greatly frustrated.

From his memories, the principal should be out of the academy and be with the vampire prince. Same with the Supreme Rank Death Dragon. 

But now why was the Principal here and not with him, this was something Lucas didn't understand.

What Lucas didn't know was that the timeline was changed due to future Lilith's intervention.

The current Lilith got instructions from her and gave Lith many opportunities to work on.

Lith had been to the inheritance a bit too early and he wasn't supposed to be there until a thousand years from now.

From Lucas's memories and timeline, Lith would be still dating Emilia and Arya and hanging out with them. He hadn't married them yet.

But now, not only did Lith take the inheritance, he even ended up getting trained further by Lucifer and his body was put under a lot of stress, eventually forcing him to sleep to rest and relax.

It was due to him sleeping that Emilia wasn't able to hangout with him and was here in the academy, working.

Lucas took a calculated risk but he didn't know that he had already miscalculated things by a huge margin. 

He had little to no idea that Lilith already knew about everything and he was just blindly thinking that he could take everything in his control because he had the memories.

Finally, after a long while of taking out his frustration by complaining, Lucas asked the system, 

"What went wrong?"

[Answering Host…]

[Everything.]
