Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 162 Unique Abilities

Royal Castle, Nightingale.
Lith, Lilith and Lucy teleported inside Lilith’s bedroom. Lilith took Lith towards the dining table present in her bedroom, sat on a chair present near it and made Lith sit on her lap.
Lilith made Lith face her, showed him her neck and said gently with a smile, “we’ll talk about everything later. First, drink and rest.”
Lith nodded gently and obeyed her words. He bit onto her neck and drank her blood. The warm, rich and slightly sweet taste of his mother’s blood brought him comfort.
As he drank her blood, Lilith felt hot and a bit aroused, but she had good control over her body and wasn’t agitated by it.
She caressed Lith’s hair as he drank her blood and moments later, his eyes began to return to their amethyst purple colour.
A few moments later, Lith felt drowsy and half closed his eyes. A while later, he was out of his crazed state after his eyes completely changed colours.
He felt full and drowsy, so he fell asleep on his mother’s shoulder. He drank a little too much, and his crazed state made him even more exhausted, so he fell asleep almost quickly.
Lilith noticed him sleeping and patted his back to ensure he slept soundly. A few moments later, she took him in her arms and walked towards her bed and lay alongside Lith on the bed.
Lilith then turned to Lucy who was sitting on the dining table chair and gestured for her to come sleep along with them. Lucy did what her mother asked her to do and lay beside Lith, making him be in the center.
As Lith slept, Lilith stroked his hair and gazed lovingly at him. Lith snuggled closer to her in his slumber, sensing her touch. Lilith smiled as she saw his reaction and kissed him on the head.
Lucy too snuggled closer to Lith and slept. Lilith didn’t sleep and was awake, watching her children sleep peacefully. She lay on her side beside Lith and her hand at the bottom was present above Lucy’s head. She caressed her hair with that hand and her other hand caressed Lith’s hair.
It may seem an uncomfortable position, but for Lilith, it wasn’t much of an issue. The two thus slept soundly under Lilith’s gentle caresses.
….
A few hours later.
When Lith awoke, the first thing he saw was his mother’s beautiful face and gentle smile. When he saw this, he smiled and replied,
“Good morning, mom.”
” Good morning, baby.” Lilith greeted back and kissed Lith’s forehead.
“Goodmorning, big sis.” Lith turned around and said to Lucy.
“Goodmorning, dear.” Lucy greeted him back with a smile and, just like Lilith, kissed his forehead.
Lith got out of bed and went to the bathroom to refresh after their greetings. He walked out feeling refreshed and sat down at the dining table in a nearby chair.
Lilith and Lucy had already arrived and were enjoying tea. Lucy poured a cup for Lith and handed it to him when he arrived.
Taking the cup from Lucy, he took a sip and sat silently, not uttering a single word, waiting for his mother to speak or ask about something. He knew she wanted to chat to him about something. It was his instinct.
And indeed, he was right as, a few seconds later, Lilith put down her cup and asked Lith gently, “how do you feel, baby?”
“Better now, mom.” Lith said calmly.
Lilith nodded in understanding and didn’t ask anything else. Her baby’s health was her most important concern and nothing else mattered to her. Thus, after getting her answer, she didn’t ask much to him.
Lucy, on the other hand, had a lot to ask of Lith. She turned to him and asked calmly, “why are you out of the academy and here in the Vampire Continent, dear? What events took place for you to feel like that? Can you explain to us?”
Lith nodded and told everything to Lucy and Lilith, while keeping a few things hidden from them. The assassination attempt and Liam cursing Lilith were among the secrets he kept hidden. He didn’t want to cause unnecessary drama or worry the two, so he kept quiet about it.
Lilith obviously knew about everything in great detail and naturally knew that Lith was hiding a few things. However, she didn’t call him out for that as she could guess for what reason Lith was hiding it.
Her daughter, Lucy, was a battle maniac and knowing that someone had cursed her and that too, in front of her brother, would make her go into an even wilder crazed state than Lith and she didn’t want this to happen.
Lucy knitted her brows after Lith finished explaining his part and asked, “so you missed an opportunity to get unique abilities, dear?”
Lith let out a defeated sigh and said, “Yes.”
“Hmm, that’s indeed a big loss. I understand why you seemed so sad at that time and couldn’t see mom in the eyes.” Lucy added after hearing Lith’s response.
Hearing this, Lilith, who was sitting in the chair between Lith and Lucy, reached out and patted Lith on the head with one of her hands. After that, she smiled and added,
“It’s okay to have missed this. It doesn’t matter much. In the end, unique abilities are a tool to get stronger. You can be fine even without it. They are nothing but secondary methods to strengthen yourselves, just like how you have artifacts and pills.
Everything depends on a person’s own strength. One could be rank 1 but could have the ability to defeat someone of rank 3 with unique abilities. How? By having superior elemental control, advanced spell casting knowledge and various other things.
Another thing is, it’s a double-edged sword. Let’s say you have a unique ability that will give you a lot of power boost but has a side effect that will consume your spiritual power every second. You will need the help of various artifacts to protect yourself for this sole reason.
One cannot figure out what unique ability the other person has unless the other person tells them. The only way one can find out about unique abilities is by permanently killing the other person.
Permanently meaning that the person would never enter the reincarnation cycle again.”
