Lith’s friend shivered in fright as he heard the revelation. He couldn’t believe that his friend had done such a thing!
He could not believe his friend would do such a cruel thing. His friend peeked inside the cauldron and…
“BLERGH!” He vomited out everything he had eaten until now.
Inside the cauldron was blood and in it were sliced pieces of…
“No….” The friend felt like his heart had been grasped by a cold hand. He was too afraid to even think of what was inside the cauldron.
He looked at Lith and met his eyes; Instead of his easy-going and fun-loving friend, he saw a blood-drenched demon.
The friend shivered and instinctively stepped away from Lith.
“No… it couldn’t be… it couldn’t be you. My friend was not someone so cruel… he… he would never do such a thing… no… you, who are you? What did you do to my friend!?”
The guy questioned whether or not the man in front of him was Lith!
Lith, who just wanted to take revenge for what had happened and avenge his friend, could only sigh as he saw his friend in denial.
“I am your friend, the same old Lith. Do you not believe me?” Lith said as he moved towards his friend, trying to place a hand on his shoulder.
“No! My friend could never do such a thing.” The guy said without hesitation as he avoided Lith’s touch by stepping back even further. He had fear in his eyes as he looked at Lith.
“He won’t be able to do it even if given great power?” Lith asked.
“I am not talking about killing people. If I was given power, I would’ve killed them too. But my friend nor I would kill someone in such a gruesome manner, and that too, a kid!” The guy retorted, almost shouting. His actions made it seem like he was convinced that the person before him was not Lith.
“Oh, I see. Well… I can surely do it. Do you want to see another demonstration?” Lith asked, annoyed by the vehement refusal of his friend to believe him.
Without waiting for a reply, he teleported close to the guards. He locked them in their place with magic and took out a grater from his ring, about the size of a large basketball. Then right there before his friend, he started grating the heads of the guards.
The guards screamed in pain and shock, and the crowd panicked. Many gasped, some puked, some fell unconscious due to the shock, and almost all tried to run away.
Lith’s friend looked at the scene with a shocked gaze. He also couldn’t help but puke again when he noticed a guard’s head getting grated down in the cauldron and mixing up with flesh and blood of the kid.
Lith felt no remorse or disgust while doing this. In fact, the bloody smell that assaulted his noise only further made him want to slowly grate the humans.
‘It seems my vampire instincts really love humans.’ Lith thought to himself. The people here were all humans as well. He guessed that it may be due to him being a human in his past life.
A while later, he stopped his actions. Lith then walked towards his friend with the cauldron and said,
“See? I am the same old Lith. Only now, I have the power to do such things.”
The friend felt his head spin as he heard that, but he somehow managed to control himself and said,
“Please… stay away from. Please. I beg you.” The friend became teary and said in a horrified tone as he recalled the scene that just happened a few seconds ago.
‘Accepting it is difficult for him, huh?’ Lith thought to himself. He then made an effort to make this friend understand that it was either kill or get killed and also tried to tell him that killing them was only fair.
The friend still didn’t listen to Lith and called him a psychopath.
After much talking, Lith finally gave up and said, “I guess this is where we part ways. This is where you and I walk on our own different paths.”
Lith glumly walked close to his friend. This time he did not give him a chance to avoid his touch and firmly patted the boy on his shoulder.
“I had hoped that we would adventure together in the future, but sadly, you would not be with me. However, I wish you the very best in your future endeavors and hope you prosper. Good luck.”
As soon as Lith finished saying that, the world around him wobbled, and soon, everything turned white, and finally… everything turned dark.
Lith had no idea what was happening, but he was used to such things happening now. So he just waited to have this situation get over.
Soon, he felt a warm and soft sensation. He then heard a voice,
“…wa..ke.. u..p… wak…e… up… up…”
‘Hmm’ Lith had trouble understanding what was being said. The next moment he heard the voice speak again.
“WAKE UP!”
The shout was accompanied by a stinging sensation on his face.
SLAP!
Lith jolted awake from the stimulus, and clarity returned to his mind. As he looked around, he saw himself standing in the middle of the dusty ground.
There were many dead bodies and cores around him.
He then turned his head to see what place he was in when he gazed upon the devilishly beautiful face.
In front of his eyes was Lucifer, a black-haired, black-eyed lady with ancient red horns, appearing to be in her early 30s.
With just one look at her, Lith felt all his memories of the past hour return to his mind.
It was so fast that he felt a sharp pain in his head. But he endured it and closed his eyes to understand everything.
Lucifer sighed in relief when she saw him exit his dream without any problems.
‘This little demon scared me for a second when he wasn’t waking up. Tsk, kids are really annoying.’ She thought to herself, completely forgetting that she had thought of Lith as a man just a few minutes ago.
She even forgot that she had wet herself when she saw him fight the Werewolf chief.
A few minutes later, Lith understood everything that had happened and opened his eyes. He looked at Lucifer and asked,
“You made the dream?”
