Magic System in a Parallel World

Chapter 197 Labyrinth Mission

After entering the room, Leo said, "You can use the bathroom first if you want."

"There are two bathrooms in this room." Lia calmly said.

"Oh…"

"Then I'll go take a bath. We have about 3 hours until we meet Aaron, so we can take our time."

Leo went into one of the bathrooms while Lia used the other bathroom.

About an hour later, Leo walked out of the bathroom with a refreshed look on his face.

"Leo. Mana Drain." Lia said to him from the bed the moment he walked out.

"Can I do it when we come back from dinner? I need to relax a little after fighting for days without rest." He said as he sat on the couches and began watching television.

Lia didn't pursue this matter any more and laid on the bed to take a nap.

"Alright, Lilith, you can request for the additional mana now." Leo said to her a moment later.

"Are you sure you want to give me 5,000 mana? I will be happy even with 1,000." Lilith asked.

"It's fine, really."

"If you say so…"

<Soul Slave 'Lilith' requests for 4,700 additional mana to strengthen her soul>

"Accept."

<In order to sustain Soul Slave 'Lilith', you will now 5,000 mana every second>

Lilith could feel her soul strengthening at a rapid rate after receiving so much mana from Leo.

After taking a few minutes to familiarize herself with the new feeling, Lilith flew in front of Leo and proceeded to grab his cheeks with her soft hands.

"I can touch you with much more ease now. Is there anything you'd like me to do? I'll do anything as a thank you! Even perverted things!" She said with a seductive smile on her face.

"Is that all that's inside your head…? Or are all vampires weird like you?" Leo sighed.

"You're the weird one! Don't you feel any urges when you're always surrounded by beauties? Or do you actually prefer men over women? If that's the case, I can't blame you."

"How the hell did you come to that conclusion?! I like women! 100 percent! Just because I am surrounded by women doesn't mean I need to behave like a horny teenager!"

"I see… Basically, you're a virgin who's not good with women." Lilith said with a teasing smile.

Leo snickered, "I will admit that I am not good with women, but that is because I had spent the majority of my life dedicated to studying for exams and whatnot, and whenever I am around women, these women are all rich young ladies that live in a vastly different world than me, not to mention that they all have a rotten personality, so I tend to avoid them like the plague."

"I see… Then let me help you with that!" Lilith suddenly said.

"Huh? With what?"

"Help you get better with dealing with women, of course! And the best way to do that is— to spend more time with women!"

Lilith suddenly sat in front of him and on top of his legs, and she wrapped her slender arms around his neck.

"How do you feel?" She asked him.

"I feel like pushing you off." He said in a cold voice.

"But you didn't. Which means you're not as bad with women as you think! Now let's kick it up a notch and—" Lilith suddenly pouted her lips and approached his face with it.

Seeing this, Leo grabbed her face with his hands and pushed her away.

But Lilith was persistent, and she tried to push back.

"What do you think you're trying to do?!" Leo exclaimed.

"Kiss you, of course!"

"Hell no!"

"Why not? You let Lia kiss you!"

"She forced herself on me!"

"I am doing the same! This is discrimination, Leo! Is it because I am a vampire?!"

"Damn it, I am regretting giving you more mana now!"

"What are you doing?" Lia's calm voice suddenly resounded, halting Leo's movement.

He turned around to see Lia awake and staring at him with a puzzled look on her face.

"I-I'm stretching…" Leo said with a stiff smile.

"Is that so?" And without saying anything else, she laid back down and closed her eyes again.

"Stop messing around already." Leo glared at Lilith, who was chuckling nonstop.

"Just like Lia, I am a very stubborn girl. I won't give up until I have what I want, Leo!"

"And what do you want exactly?"

"That's a secret." She winked at him.

Leo ignored her and proceeded to watch television until it was time to eat dinner.

Sometime later, Leo and Lia left the hotel and made their way to the Tethoris' Delight to meet up with Aaron, who was waiting for them outside the building. He was dressed up nicely in a black suit and was even wearing dress shoes.

Meanwhile, Leo and Lia were wearing casual clothes.

"Is there a dress code or something here?" Leo asked, "If so, you didn't tell us about it."

"Don't worry, your appearance is just fine. I am dressed up because I felt like it."

"Let's go inside. Our table is already ready."

Leo nodded and followed him into the building.

Once they were seated, Aaron said, "Go ahead and order whatever you want. It's my treat. We'll talk more about the mission afterward."

"Okay."

Leo proceeded to order some steak with mac and cheese while Lia ordered grilled salmon and a salad.

While they waited for their food, Aaron began telling them about their mission.

"As I'd already mentioned, the Labyrinth is a B-Rank Labyrinth that was recently discovered, so we don't know the layout or how many floors it contains. Besides the two of you, there will be 4 other people in the team, three of whom are B-Rank Adventurers with one A-Rank."

"The rewards for clearing the Labyrinth will be 200 million dollars, and this is not including the bonus that the Adventurers' Guild will be giving you for accepting this sudden mission."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge."
