Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

The lords were engulfed by the three sister’s attacks, which resulted in their bodies being destroyed on the spot, however if those guys were that easy to get rid of, those three wouldn’t be having this fight.

”Mmm, no final scream, come on I wanted to record it for mom~”, jokingly said the crazy girl,

”Forget about that, nothing happened so those three should still be alive?”, said the nelapsi girl, to which Sarah giggled as she pointed at an ”empty” space showering the vicinity with purple flames.

”Aghh damn that abomination!”, a familiar voice made Jasmine and Reyne look at the direction where Sarah was pointing, where three ethereal figures flew out of the purple flame rain, those were the lord’s consciousnesses which were rushing towards and interesting direction.

That was Aslan’s work by the way, a last trick prepared by the Bane lord, meant to be used by discarding their physical bodies, which were the source of their existence, in order to escape, well, originally it was supposed to be their decision to discard their physical bodies, but here, they were destroyed by those three fierce girls.

”Hurry we have to get into…”, Byron who was guiding the other lords towards the sky of the throne room, where a cloud of white light and dark red nether were constantly clashing, nearly forgot how to speak when he saw said cloud of energy dispel into countless mana and nether particles.

The previous revealed a feminine humanoid figure composed exclusively of white light mana, but what’s important is that the sword which the light mana figure was holding, was piercing a great black sword, right at the middle of its edge.

”How did I do, was my act convincing Daimon?”, cutely asked Narasha who seemed to be a bit more excited than usual.

”Yeah, you helped both Jasmine and me, you can destroy that sword now if you want”, said Daimon”, to which the sword girl smiled.

”Mm~”, with a happy voice that didn’t match the fierce white light which exploded out of Gram, Narasha nodded and cracks appeared all over Byron’s sword, before it shattered into countless pieces that were then consumed by Gram’s light.

Feeling the glares from the three lords coming his way, Daimon smirked as he said.

”What, you bastards actually thought I didn’t know you can survive without a physical body and use that ethereal state to escape, in case you have forgotten, I fought with Agrak before, so this trick won’t work twice, in fact…”, with a snap of Daimon’s fingers, black mana with small white spots into it gathered from all over the area, forming an ethereal dome that seemed to be made out of a piece of starry sky.

’Woaaah, a spell made out from combining my and Daimon’s space mana!’, the undead head maid was jumping out of happiness inside Daimon’s shadow, which made Daimon chuckle.

Back then Agrak managed to escape after he was defeated by Daimon, though he still was forced to pay by Eve, and a part of his existence was ripped apart in order to create the rewards Daimon obtained, like the memory orb, he probably ended in a state similar to that of the other three lords, instead of dying.

So, naturally Daimon refused to let history repeat itself, which is why he has been preparing this little surprise for the time any confrontation with high ranked nethereals, happened.

That black mana with white spots, is actually space mana, gathered thanks to Daimon’s manifestation, because in case you forget, unlike other mages or knights below the Arch rank, or the peak of the Lord rank in some really rare cases, Daimon is capable of moving through space, and thus he has developed space affinity to a certain extent through years of exposition to it, courtesy of Erin and Aura.

And though he hasn’t progressed nearly as much as he has with the other affinities he uses daily as well, due to the extreme difficulty of it, Daimon made up for the lack of level with his wit, in this case by asking a certain undead head maid, whose shadow affinity has mixed with space one, after her recent advance, to cooperate with him.

The result was this, an enclosed space from which the only way out, is through Daimon’s permission, well, that or destroying it, but for that, one would need the strength to destroy space, and the three lords only had enough to travel through it left, so they couldn’t escape.

Of course, Daimon could have asked Rita to just seal the nearby space, in fact his black sea emblem could have done it through the rules of the challenge as well, but it’s better to develop the capacity to do it himself, after all, the black sea emblem is a temporary ally and Rita’s eternally constant presence, is one of Daimon’s trump cards, the less direct exposure she is subjected to, the best.

”Wait, let’s talk this…”, Reed who after failing to escape through space, like Agrak did back then, tried to negotiate was shut down by a bolt made out of purple nether, piercing his chest.

”Aghhhh!”, next was Aslan who tried to run into the ground, where there were still some corpses of the victims he has killed through the years, just for a crimson bolt to pierce his neck.

”Nooo!”, was the last word he managed to utter before his body exploded in crimson flames, as he died.

”Now those are the sweet screams I was talking about~”, jokingly said the crazy girl as she pointed her crossbow at the remaining enemy.

The Balax lord who surprisingly remained quiet and silent, he, a prince from the Violence faction actually had lost the will to fight, and didn’t even try to escape, probably because he had been completely bested no matter what he tried, for the first time in his life.

”Coward”, with a single word, the fierce light princess charged the last of the nether she had managed to build up, into the crossbow Sarah was using, which was then shot in the form of a white light bolt that pierced Byron’s head, killing him for good this time.

”Phew, they finally kicked the bucket”, said the crazy girl as she let her body fall backwards, to rest face up on the ground, Jasmine and Reyne followed right away, they were exhausted, though unlike their ”unrefined” older sister, both the light princess and the nelapsi girl simply sat on the ground.

They weren’t the only ones, though he hadn’t actively participated in the fight, keeping his manifestation out took a toll on Daimon, luckily the mana consumption wasn’t too high, but his fatigue was indeed noticeable, after all he used a large amount of vitality to continuously heal his body which was under a huge amount of pressure.

With a deep breath, Daimon dispelled his manifestation and then walked to where the three sisters were resting, the idea was to sit in front of them to rest, but the moment he sat down, the crazy girl used her hands to propel herself, sliding all the way to where Daimon was, so that her head was resting on Daimon’s lap, while she beckoned at her two younger sisters to join her, which of course earned her a questioning gaze from Daimon.

”We need to adjust our mentality for what comes next, besides you have gone further with the birdies so what’s the problem with cuddling a bit with us too…”, mumbled Sarah, in a weird occasion, there was clear jealousy in her voice and she was pouting as she spoke.

Daimon who was actually moved for a second, felt the need to throw the crazy girl into Rita’s cursed doll house, as she added.

”Though I would have preferred to face the other way around, it’s too early for Jas to see something like that, so I’ll settle for a lap pillow and a head pat for now~”, said Sarah as she cutely stuck her tongue at Daimon, who felt a vein pulsing on his neck, but ultimately, he took a deep breath and sighed.

”Ah forget it, the fault is mine for becoming friends with a crazy girl like you”, he said, as he placed his hand on top of Sarah’s head, to then caress that silky purple hair of hers a couple of times, which resulted in Sarah’s previously playful face to turn red like an apple.

All this under the light princess and the nelapsi girl’s gazes, speaking of those two, after witnessing the previous, Jasmine and Reyne exchanged gazes for a second, before flashing towards Daimon, or more accurately into Daimon’s arms.

As in they held one of his arms each, while nestling against his chest, of course they didn’t forget to give him puppy eyes, asking to be petted like their older sister, something that Daimon didn’t have a problem to comply to.

”Mm~”, both Jasmine and Reyne happily smiled when they felt the warm hand caressing their blond hair, before they noticed their eyelids felt heavy and they actually fell asleep in Daimon’s embrace.

Not even a second later black, dark red and neon pink particles gathered from all over the throne room, more specifically from the areas where the lords died and their respective thrones, which are the places where they spend the most time.

To then transform in crowns of the same colors which turned into streams of nether that flew towards the three sisters, whose own crowns manifested by themselves, receiving those streams of nether into them, before being absorbed back into their bodies.

”So that’s why nothing was happening, their royal nether was being gathered to then be presented as your reward for the challenge”, said Daimon, the notification of him obtaining the memory orb he wanted, just rang in his mind.

But he was willing to ignore it for the time being, because there was still one girl that hadn’t fallen asleep to absorb her reward.

”Mm, apparently since we were born through the nether of those three, just like they could absorb us to refine their lineages and increase their powers, we can do the same, but the method for us is different, we must erase their presence from the royal nether of those three in order to make it ours, so a fight in our minds is necessary for it”.

What she said made sense, after all the challenges were supposed to be a help for the participants to grow, even the rewards aren’t direct power ups, because that would be simple external help, instead they increase their potential which is even better, because their space to grow will far surpass their peers.

”Since it is a process that will take place in our minds, the better our mind states are, the easier it will be for us to have a good ”dream”, so little Jas had to feel protected, and Reyne needed a strong life force to envelop her, sorry for the trouble~”, jokingly said the crazy girl as she proposed herself to get up, only for a firm hand to keep her upper body laying down on top of Daimon’s lap, to then proceed to softly stroke her pretty purple hair.

”W-Wha…”, the crazy girl reacted like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she was for sure not used to be treated this ”softly” by Daimon, but a head pat was all it was needed for her to lose any idea of resistance.

”You can be just Sarah instead of a crazy overprotective older sister, when it’s just the two of us, you know”, said Daimon, which made Sarah blush, she slightly nodded in response.

”Mm”, that being said, her young maiden heart was beating like crazy as of current, and she knew why, this wasn’t ”lust”, no, this was ”love” and while one might argue that those two are tightly related, for Sarah that’s not the case.

Because for the crazy girl, love can be lust but lust can’t be love, despite her nether being lust based, she hates horny scum like Reed the most after all, she still remembers being disgusted by the lust Purplehaze and Adam had in their eyes when they looked at Jasmine for example.

In comparison, it was their sister’s eyes the ones that sparkled whenever they saw Daimon, and that was love for her, you can say she sure is one hell of a contradiction incarnated, but that’s Sarah for you, a crazy yet lovely girl.

’So, this is how it feels to be spoiled by one’s beloved, I like it~’, was the last thought the crazy girl had before her eyes closed as she entered the land of dreams while her head rested on top of Daimon’s lap.

”She sure looks pretty when she is not using that crazy mind of hers to scheme something”, jokingly said Daimon as he looked at Sarah’s peaceful sleeping face, to then look at Gram which was floating not too far from him.

Narasha wanted to return to Daimon’s side as soon as it was possible but she actually held back, because she didn’t want to steal her new friend’s moment, quite a mature stance for a sword girl who is still rather clumsy when it comes to human emotions.

Daimon beckoned and Gram flew towards him, Nasha’s face blushed when she saw Daimon patting Gram’s blade a couple of times.

”This will have to do for now, but I promise to properly do it when you obtain a physical body, okay”, he said to which Narasha cutely nodded continuously.

”Mm~”.

Leaving aside all the wholesomeness that just took place, the castle started trembling and it actually crumbled apart the next second, turning into nether particles that started gathering where the three thrones used to be placed.

The Risha sisters, accompanied by the others approached the area where the castle used to be and were welcomed by the sight of Daimon sitting on the ground, while being hugged by those three sleeping beauties, which of course caused a variety of reactions.

Starting from Calvin who was dying to congratulate him, but forced himself to keep his mouth shut, since he was being stared daggers at by Loren, surprisingly, though the Risha sisters of course felt jealous of those three, they didn’t seem to be against it, in fact they actually looked happy for them.

After all, they might be rivals but they are also girls, with something important in common, they like Daimon, so they are happy to see that they seem to have gotten closer.

Feeling the different gazes on him, Daimon cleared his throat as he slowly and carefully slid away from the nethereal sister’s embrace, not without taking off his coat to fold it and let them use it as a pillow, before getting up.

”Ahem, there is still one last place I have to go to, so watch over those three for me in the meantime”, he said as he pointed at the area where all the nether from the castle had gathered.

All that nether actually turned into a spatial portal, one that was strangely wrapped in black chains, apparently that’s the one that Marcus, Ereth and the others used before Daimon arrived to go to their mission’s destination, it was actually a rift in the space which was sealed by the existence of the lords and their castles.

The lord probably used countless years just to make that little crack in the space, and then sealed it so that it wouldn’t be noticed by the megalodon, to then wait until an opportunity to reunite with their original selves presented itself, and then tired of waiting they decided to create said opportunity, how you wonder, well, they descended through some puppets, to create Jasmine, Sarah and Reyne.

Unfortunately, they didn’t expect their mothers to be so fierce, and not only their plans were ruined, but the ones they were supposed to use as a sacrifice, defeated and killed them, ultimately turning them into an opportunity for them instead.

That being said, they were annoying until the end, leaving a seal on the entrance of the space portal, at least until Daimon’s black sea emblem flew out of his pocket, projecting the runic shark which chew up the chains, breaking them and making the portal usable, to then return to the black sea emblem, which flew back to Daimon’s pocket.

Not without spitting a rune that stuck to Ivy and the others, similar to what happened with Daphne and the others Daimon has met in their respective challenges so far, that was a coordinate, that would activate at its given time, in order to bring them to where Daimon would be.

Feeling the strange aura coming from that space portal, the Risha sisters couldn’t help but frown, it’s obvious that those three wanted to go with Daimon, and they weren’t the only ones, Scarlet’s group was also reluctant to be left behind, after all it hasn’t been long since they reunited with Daimon.

”Why the serious faces, it’s not like I’m going to be alone in there, you know I can always tell where Aisha’s generic direction is, and her current position is in a straight line into that portal”, said Daimon, which made Ivy, Leslie and Liliana pout.

Since Aisha was going to be there, they had no excuses to try and tag along with Daimon, after all, they all had been overwhelmed by Daimon’s ”older sister”, before, and the previous included even the crazy girl Sarah.

While looking at those three’s cute unconvinced faces, Daimon beckoned at them, and streams of his mana surrounded the Risha sisters, those were the remains of his manifestation which still lingered in the vicinity.

”I don’t know how long it will be before the coordinate activates, but who knows, next time you might have to fight within my manifestation, so it’s better for you three to get used to it”, he said.

”Mm~”, those three happily smiled, an area surrounded by Daimon’s mana was like an all eat buffet for their wings, and a paradise for them, however if they weren’t careful their mana circuits might get wounded if they take in too much mana, that’s one of the reasons as to why Daimon didn’t use his manifestation when it was their turn to fight, besides his own body having to endure the toll.

But since he has confirmed that’s no longer a problem, at least to a certain extent, it’s not a bad idea to get those three used to be within his manifestation.

”We’ll be prepared to join in whenever is needed”, said Michael as he nodded at Daimon, as always, he was the serious responsible one.

”Thanks for the resting period, so that I can take my girlfriend to a long lovey dovey date”, said Calvin as he waved his hand at Daimon, making Loren blush.

Daimon chuckled, to then jump into the space portal, which actually closed the moment he crossed it, apparently there was only enough energy left in it for a single person to use it, which made sense, since the royal nether of the lords was absorbed by those three’s crowns.

…

Inside of the space tunnel, there was nether which at this point was a common sight for Daimon at this point, however there was also an unexpected surprise, chains, countless black chains which went from one side of the tunnel to the other one, disappearing into the walls.

This reminded Daimon of the space out of which the nethereals who were used as pawns in Sarah’s fight against the enemy queen piece in turn, came out, those guys were wrapped in chains too after all.

And that was just one half of the surprise, the minor one even, despite how weird it was for chains to cross through the walls of a spatial tunnel, something that surpasses the knowledge of the Wonder Myriad Stellar Chart, as well as Neptune, Kerrol and Draim.

”First a spatial tunnel with numerous gates and now, one with chains inside of it, that is also suppressing any kind of energy…”, mumbled Daimon.

That’s right, within this tunnel, though there was nether floating here and there, one couldn’t access their mana, battle aura and the like, of course Daimon could resist against the suppression, because of the system, but he chose not to do so, because he received a ”request” from the black sea emblem, to not do so.

And that means, that wherever this spatial tunnel led to, it’s going to be the place where his own challenge will take place.

’I guess I’ll get to know what are you up to, once I reach there’, thought Daimon as he looked at his pocket where the black sea emblem returned to its quiet state.
