Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Daimon looked at the light red skinned girl number 1, who now that he noticed seemed to be the older one among them, even then maybe due to being fed just the minimum necessary to not die and all the torture they had gone through, their complexions were skinny, but not enough to be unattractive, probably in preparation for the moment they decided to… give in.

He then took out a black paper from his inventory, unlike the others who were limited on the things they could bring to the magic ruin, he had all sort of useful items in his personal inventory.

“Unfortunately, I can’t let you leave just like that, but you tried to save my life even if it wasn’t needed, and I don’t like to owe anything to anyone”.

“This is a master-servant contract, if you are willing to work for me, in exchange you’ll live and have a relatively high freedom, besides obeying orders that don’t directly kill you and absolute loyalty towards me which means you won’t do anything that could affect me nor my family or friends in a negative way, I won’t force you to do anything, a life for a life”.

“Well let’s add one more thing, you would need to tell me everything about the place you all come, I don’t think you are too attached to it anyway and for what I have seen even if we were to not be in a conflict of interests with them, they wouldn’t let us alone, so it shouldn’t be too much to ask, what do you say?”.

Daimon saw the dubitative expression in the eyes of the light red skinned girl and he, nearly facepalmed.

“Now that I think about it, you seem to understand our language, but can you read what’s written in the contract?”, asked Daimon.

The red skinned girl shook her head, her eyes seemed to travel through her memories before saying.

“We can, our races have a certain special trait which allow us to learn at a rapid speed, that is in part what the male nobles from the four tribes desperately want from us, did you know that so far none of the bearers of this learning capacity which are the what’s left of the royal families of our races had given in to those bastards”.

“The so-called nobles that currently live, with the exception of the four kings, descend all from commoners, and yet they flaunt their hornets calling others “inferior”, when I told those guys that, the needle mask was added to the party, but no matter what we didn’t yield, because that would bring shame to us”.

“That’s the last bit of pride we have left, if you allow us to keep that secret to ourselves, then I’ll accept it… otherwise I ask you to let us leave this world in peace, that would be a new experience for any of us too since the Queen died”.

“Since you seem to care about those close to you, I will add that our secrets won’t affect others, all of our predecessors died taking it with them to their graves, until the next generation appeared”.

Daimon tapped his finger on his palm with a curious expression, not about whatever these women were hiding, but about why the red skinned girl was talking so much about it, it was obvious she didn’t trust him, and that was perfectly normal, in fact he would have been wary if it wasn’t like that.

He saved their lives by a coincidence, it was a happy accident so to speak, originally, they only spoke because that meant Eleazar would suffer more, so he was genuinely surprised that one of them was actively talking with him.

‘I don’t even know if they will be able to leave through where we entered… ah whatever, the fact that the system skills don’t work on them is worth studying and more manpower is always welcomed’.

Having made up his mind, Daimon modified the contract one more time to add both his condition and the one the red skinned girl asked for, making the Risha sisters let out a sigh of relief.

Although they felt empathy towards those girls, ultimately their loyalty was with Daimon, so if he decided to not take them in, they would respect his decision.

Daimon let out a drop of blood on the contract, and then offered it to the girl which was still chained, she bit her lip and a drop of a bright red blood which shone fell on the contract, finishing the process.

The contract then burned itself and a crest entered Daimon and the light red skinned girl bodies, that being said, Daimon’s constitution made it so that he could be tied by any limitations, so while the other party had to respect the contract he didn’t, of course that didn’t mean he wouldn’t go back on his own words just because he could, he just wasn’t forced to.

“#$&#”.

“Mm?”, Daimon listened to the light skinned girl saying something, but he didn’t understand it, it was in another language, so he just heard some weird sounds, it was different to the screeches of the creatures, but it was still not possible to be understood.

“Scarlet… my name in your language would be Scarlet”.

Daimon nodded.

“You can call me Daimon”, he then approached her and as he was about to break the chains, Scarlet spoke.

“They have poison, the key should be…”, before she could finish her sentence, Scarlet saw Daimon cladding his hands on those white flames he used to burn Eleazar, but they didn’t melt the chains and instead just made it easier for him to break the chains

Once Scarlet was set free from the chains which covered practically all her body besides her legs, arms and neck where the scars and other wounds were visible, her skinny figure powerlessly fell to the ground but was stopped by Leslie, who helped her sit down on a bench at the other side of the room.

Daimon looked at the other girls and showed them copies of the same contract Scarlet accepted to sign, apparently although they seemed to take her as their leader, they were free to take their own decision.

“I won’t tell you to follow my example because something like this hasn’t happened in the whole history of our race, but you know we can’t get stronger at out galaxy even if we somehow manage to escape from them, no matter how much we keep dying nothing will change, isn’t that what led us to try and sneak into this place taking the risk of being captured, it’s not like we have anything to lose anyway”.

Scarlet who was trying to stretch her wounded body to regain her mobility after being chained for more than three months, talked to the others, exposing why she accepted the contract.

Her words solved another of Daimon’s questions, they had practically zero cultivation, they had mana circulating through their bodies, but it was in a lower quantity than what normal people in the Wonder Myriad stellar chart had, it was praise worthy that even without mana or battle aura they endured all those tortures without breaking.

With his mana sense he could see a lot of bones in Scarlet’s body which were stronger than those of normal people, and it wasn’t by innate, but because they broke and healed… more than once.

The first one to accept the contract was the light red skinned girl number too, she resembled Scarlet a bit meaning she was probably a distant relative, also, she seemed to be the youngest among them.

“I’m Ruby”, said the girl, her eyes closed as soon as Daimon broke her chains off, she actually fainted now that her body wasn’t being in a high amount of stress, Daimon moved in time to catch her so that she didn’t fall.

‘I’m not even close to be a good person, but torturing a little girl like this just for fun…’, not only Ruby was shorter and skinnier than the others, she had more scars on her legs than the others too, they all looked pretty young, but if Daimon were to guess, Ruby was probably ten or eleven years old, being in the same range of age/appearance as Dana, she was quite light too, about twenty kilograms, or two thirds of what an average girl her age should weight.

Daimon handed the now sleeping Ruby to Yvonne who carried her towards Scarlett, and then he looked at the other three, who also accepted the contract.

“Lapis… it’s a pleasure”, the light blue skinned girl actually said something else besides her name, but then remained silent while she was helped to take seat next to Scarlet and Ruby.

“Jade”, the light green skinned girl directly leaned against Daimon, because she had wounds on the soles of her feet, something that caught Daimon’s attention was that she was the only one that had them there, but right now wasn’t the time to ask about that, he helped her sit down next to the others and then broke the chains of the last girl, the light brown skinned girl whose chains were about twice wider than the previous ones.

In fact, after Daimon freed her, she was able to stand on her own feet, although she nearly lost her balance a couple of times, she didn’t fall, but her arms were hanging at her sides powerless, there were big nails piercing her shoulders.

“Amber, thanks for giving that idiot what he deserved”, the last girl was pretty talkative, but that made sense, since she was the second one to speak, and like Scarlet, she didn’t hesitate to do it after seeing that they answering faster, meant that Eleazar would suffer more.

Amber walked by herself towards the others and also sat on the bench.

Daimon looked in his inventory before taking out some potions and pain killing pills, he also looked at the room which wasn’t exactly the epitome of clean, as there were dry blood stains on the floor and he handed the medicines to the Risha sisters.

“Give them these, I’ll go up to keep the other ship on my ring, we’ll be using this one instead, so I need to put on the coordinates, once I return, we’ll move them to a clean room, so you can help me clean their wounds”.

“Mm”, Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana nodded and fed the newcomers with the medicines while Daimon went upstairs.

The aftermath of the battle left corpses all over the deck, Daimon “confiscated” their rings after making sure they didn’t have any traps set of course, the contents will be evaluated later, for the time being he just burned the corpses with Demon Light before keeping the other ship in his inventory.

The captain’s cabin of this ship was completely different, in the aspect that it was totally luxurious, to the point that It was tacky.

“I guess that guy wasn’t the son of an Archduke for nothing”, mumbled Daimon, luckily the navigating compass was pretty much the same as the previous ship, so while the badge didn’t do the trick again, he manually set the coordinates and then went downstairs as he saw the ship submerging.

On his way to the room where the Risha sisters took Scarlet and the others, Daimon noticed there was no treasury on this ship, so probably all the things were in the ring of Eleazar.

While Daimon was lost in his thoughts, inside the space where she resided, Evangeline whose figure was blurred with the exception of a few strands of her hair, frowned.

‘Wasn’t Narasha the one from that… I guess it’s good that he doesn’t follow a path which was already traced, but damn these unpredictable changes”.

A bright smile flourished in Evangeline’s face, which unfortunately wasn’t discernible as she giggled, a notification appeared in front of her and she crushed it with her index finger.

“This pervert of a host, making me work overtime”, she mumbled before falling asleep.
