Border area, Beast Kingdom.
Lith walked near the border of the Beast Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom to find the cause of the dispute. As the sun shone brightly on top of his head, he continued to survey the forest-clad border.
Thanks to the pass given by Ruo Zi, Lith did not face any restrictions when walking through the borders.
Soon, the day passed and the night descended. So far, Lith had found nothing in these areas which might be the cause of dispute. Still, he did not give up.
Lith persisted through the night until the morning was upon him once again. Even after staying up for a whole day and night, Lith did not feel tired. Now that he was an immortal, there was no need for him to sleep.
Yet, Lith treasured his sleeping time. Sleep was the best friend of the Vampires. It was a part of their innate nature.
Vampires and Dragons, these two races were the ones that slept a lot. Dragons slept more than vampires and vampires simply slept to reduce fatigue if they had any, be it mental or physical.
Vampires could sleep in coffins for years as they would accumulate fatigue over a long period of time. If it wasn't fatigue, they would still simply sleep to relax. Sleeping provided great benefits and these two races didn't miss out on it.
In any case, to accumulate any form of fatigue, Lith would have to be put under an inordinate amount of stress. Strolling for a day was nowhere near enough to tire him out.
Lith thus continued his excursion through the woods. Ralph and Dennis would need some time to establish the studio and get it running, Lith thus had time before he needed to reunite with them.
And thus his leisurely walk through the borders continued.
Meanwhile…
"Tsk." The black-haired and red-eyed Lucifer clicked her tongue. She touched her bright red devil horns as she muttered to herself, "I cannot be seen in this getup."
Lucifer had roamed the forests of the Elven Continent after Mayzin sent her here. A day had passed since her arrival but only now did she realize that she couldn't be seen in her current form.
She wore sweatpants and a t-shirt, clothes she was comfortable in. Also, she did not disguise herself. If anyone saw her now, in her casual appearance, her hard-earned reputation as a cruel and vicious being would definitely take a hit.
Lucifer only realized this when she landed inside the forest. Before, for the past whole day, she had only kept an eye on Lith from the air.
She wore no bra or panties under her sweatpants. As a result, the sweatpants were sticking to her labia, making her walk slightly uncomfortable. Plus, she was getting sweaty down there and also under her boobs.
Lucifer became conscious due to this and decided to change her appearance. She cast a disguise spell on herself and also changed her clothes.
Her appearance changed to an average brunette with no horns. She now wore ordinary adventurer robes – brown pants, a white shirt with a brown vest, and a sword attached to her belt.
She was going to fight with Lith. She couldn't just do so in her original appearance, could she? If Lilith had shown her picture to Lith, he would immediately recognize that this was his aunt.
If in the rare case she lost, which she fully believed she wouldn't, Lith would not know it was her and her image as his cool aunt would be preserved, thus sparing her pride.
Lucifer only had one nephew — Lith. She had to protect her image.
She was a Supreme Rank, that too one proficient in the Dark element. Her disguising ability was no joke. People who could see through her disguise could be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Lucifer walked through the woods, searching for her nephew. Each step of hers was equivalent to a hundred thousand steps of ordinary people. She moved at such a speed that it only took her a few minutes to arrive close to Lith.
Once close, she checked what he was doing. She found him to be simply strolling and looking around the forest.
Lucifer wondered what he was looking for. But after following him for a few minutes, she came to conclude that he was just strolling and doing nothing.
'If he wanted to just stroll, he could've done so in Nightingale as well; why come to the elven forest? From what I heard, the rose forest is also pretty.' Lucifer wondered as she stalked her nephew.
Suddenly she was reminded of the walks she and Lilith took through the estate of Nightingale. She instantly clenched her fists.
'Speaking of which, damn that bitch! It's been so long since I saw something in Nightingale. Tsk, I am going to visit her as soon as this is over and spank her ass for banning me entry!'
Lucifer feared none.
Not even the person who had spanked her previously, until her butt was swollen for days.
After her thoughts died down, Lucifer decided she would attack Lith and get things over with. Mayzin was stupid to bet over something like this.
'Of course, I'll win. There's no way in hell would I lose. How can someone as old as me lose to a child?' Lucifer thought.
Being the top demon, she had all seven sinful qualities. Pride, wrath, lust, sloth, gluttony, greed, and envy. They were all within her, at the max capacity. She could fully control them and utilize them to her benefit.
The top-most demon would not be overpowered by such meager urges of Sin.
But yes, it did have an influence on her nature. She was a prideful being and the sin of pride only amplified it. Even then, her pride paled when compared to Mayzin's. That just showed how much control she had over her sinful qualities.
After stalking Lith for a while, Lucifer decided to make her move. She suppressed herself to Rank 9 without even bothering to check the magic rank of Lith.
She then exposed her aura to alert Lith. Once she thought he was ready and was about to make a move…
"Looking for me?"
She heard a calm whisper in her ears coming from right beside her.
Shocked by the sudden turn of events, Lucifer immediately turned to the side, only to see Lith standing beside her as his eyes gazed at her calmly.
'Fast!'
Lucifer exclaimed in her mind. Her thoughts continued as she looked at him, 'He's fast and—'
'Wait!'
'How come he's so fast when he is in the 9th Mortal Realm!?'
