Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Listening to the screams coming from the hundreds of cubes in which Karla had been cut, the valkyrie girl beckoned and her battle avatar reached up to the bow mounted on its back.

The idea was simple, the law in the bow was ”propagation”, so, by shooting a single arrow, one for each of those cubes will appear, Freya clearly wanted to grind Karla to dust and then make sure to burn that until there was nothing left.

”What are you bastards waiting for, come and help me!”, Karla who felt the intense killing intent coming from Freya, forcefully interrupted her scream to then shout from the pile of burning cubes in which she had been turned by Freya’s attacks.

”Crack”, a soft shattering sound came from below, where the metal ”ground” in which Aisha’s metal domain had transformed had a single almost unnoticeable crack appear on its surface, which closed as fast as it appeared.

However, that instant was enough for the executioners to escape from the suppression of Aisha’s demon paradise world domain.

It wasn’t as easy as they breaking out of the metal ground form which the domain had taken though, the two executioners actually self-destroyed themselves, basically liberating all the battle mana that was used to condense their bodies in a single go, it was their strongest attack mean which couldn’t be used leisurely because the energy needed for their spirits to be brought back was quite larger than what the four protectors needed.

And yet, by using such a trump card, they barely managed to force a focused crack appear on the surface of Aisha’s domain, through which not even their whole selves, but a few fragments of their spirits managed to slip before the domain repaired itself, sealing the other fragments.

But that was enough, just like their previous versions, the executioners could regenerate whole from the smallest fragments of their spirits.

”Hissss!”, answering to Karla’s call, the feather winged snake which regenerated around Freya’s battle avatar coiled around its right arm to prevent it from pulling on the string of the bow, the thing had its body completely covered in the ”power up” and ”survivability”, rules, increasing its defense and further empowering that, it was focusing in preventing the bow from being used by the battle avatar.

”Roaar!”, the armored shark which had instead regenerated at some distance from the Freya, roared as it exploded in battle mana, its body covered in the ”special weapon”, ”power up” and ”survivability”, rules, which made spikes grow all over the carapace covering its body, that then started producing a black-red mist which corroded the air wherever the shark passed, those were the first two rules applied to the shark’s body, which then turned into a black-red flash as its speed dramatically increased by the speed boosting effect of the last of the three mentioned rules.

While the snake held onto Freya’s battle avatar, the shark aimed to tackle her, and given the corrosive effect applied onto the shark and its spiked armor, the snake was basically sacrificing itself for this.

”Crack!”, things didn’t work as they were supposed to of course, Freya’s battle avatar casually used its free hand to form a fist with which it punched at the incoming shark, and the fist basically blasted the head of the shark.

”Booooom!”, the snake knowing that it was no match for Freya, then self-destroyed itself, an act that was followed by the shark’s headless body doing the same, and so an energy explosion engulfed Freya’s battle avatar.

Which then casually came out of the explosion, completely unscathed.

”It was you who made them do it, but to think that the subordinates have more ”guts” than their master, how unsightly”, said the valkyrie girl, to Karla who had used the opening bought with two deaths of each of the executioners to regenerate her body, far away from her previous position.

”Freya you crazy fucking bitch, I’ll get you for this!!!”, Karla wasn’t listening to what the valkyrie girl said though, normally she would retort to that insult, but right now she was trembling due to anger as she saw her reflect on the metal ground domain of Aisha, which the latter perhaps made it polished enough so that this happened, on purpose.

Karla had indeed regenerated her body completely, she wasn’t missing even a single hair currently, however her skin was full of either cutting or burning scars, which were visible even through her mana condensed clothes.

Karla’s ranting was interrupted by Aisha who arrived next to Freya the next second to then say.

”Mmm, she is still not as ugly on the outside as she is on the inside, but she still has a few more cards up her sleeve, so we can continue to work in that, for example, a vulgar woman like her shouldn’t by floating while looking high and mighty, crawl on the ground you piece of trash”, coldly said Aisha as she pointed her pretty right index finger downwards.

”Majestic White Empress, Demon Execution Grounds”, with Aisha’s command, the violet blood stars above in the sky, dazzled in a pretty amethyst color which like continuous hits from a hammer forced Karla to descend from the sky a few meters at the time.

By the way you must have noticed it by now, but the term ”majestic” meant that Aisha was using her blood domain and energy, the ”white” which followed meant that her metal energy and domain were also being used, and this was the peak of ”Plan B” level strength of Aisha, three domains out and two used for each technique, do not look down on her for not using the three domains for her techniques.

She could use all her energies, just not the three domains for ”Plan B”, and this is because, when she used more than one domain, each one of them took away one of her casting spots when she used her techniques.

Therefore, by using two of her domains, she lost the capacity to use her chest and head casting spots, this was related to the fact that she is a spell alchemist, and the method she used to have multiple domains was related to that.

The casting spot on her head was used for the blood domain, probably because her blood energy is the one with the strongest mind and mysterious properties, the casting spot on her chest was used for the metal domain, because it’s close to her heart and it symbolized Aisha’s interest in magic metals as well as the lineage from which her talent for it originally came from, you know the ”Silverheart” lineage.

And in case you wonder, the lightning domain occupies the casting spot in Aisha’s right hand, because that’s her dominant arm and the one which she uses as vanguard to attack, just like how Aisha’s fierce lightning used to be her main attack mean.

You might think that she is ”sacrificing” a lot to have more domains, but that’s not really the case, because rather than sealing her casting spots, the domains take two casting chances from them and in case you have forgotten Aisha’s heavenly silver firmament doubles the casting changes of each casting spot.

Normally, she would have had to use two casting spots with a single casting chance each, for each domain, but with the heavenly silver firmament she only had to stop using two, because the one in her right hand already has two chances by default as she had developed it, so even with the lightning domain out she can still use it to cast her techniques, that also means that in the future this little side effect will disappear as she develops more of her casting spots.

This is a fact, because unlike the uncertainty of how will the energies affect the participants once they leave the blood prison realm, Aisha won’t stop being a novice spell alchemist, and so her capacity to use more than one domain will remain.

What remains unknown is whether she’ll be able to use the blood affinity right away, but even if that’s not the case, her metal and lightning will be there from the very beginning.

Anyway, the pressure radiated by the violet blood stars was accompanied by the originally flat and smooth metal platform which covered the same area as the heavenly silver firmament, to have a part of it, the one below Karla to be more accurate change, turning into a fully metal execution platform out of which spiked chains emerged to then extend like vicious snakes and wrap around Karla’s body.

”Agh!”, the mermaid-siren screamed as the spikes invaded her flesh and made her spill blood all over the place, this was of course done on purpose by Aisha, just like how her gesture of pointing downwards helped to further humiliate Karla whose eyes were as red as her blood as she was smacked against the ground while restrained by the spiked chains.

”Damn it, I’m going to fucking kill you both!!!”, roared the mermaid-siren as she was forced to look up to Aisha and Freya, because her four-element domain couldn’t free her from the pressure of the three single element ones that were restraining her.

Freya made her battle avatar’s left hand tighten its grip on the spear as she threw its arm backwards to gain momentum in order to throw the spear at Karla’s head.

”Boooom!”, the spear travelled at such speed that a thunderous shockwave was produced when the battle avatar let go of it.

And then there was another explosion when the two executioners regenerated and tried to block the spear with their bodies only for them to be directly pierced by it, resulting in them self-destroying themselves to try and alter the trajectory of Freya’s attack, which was futile, the ”piercing” law blasted through the energy explosion they created with their deaths, which made Karla directly shout.

”Mythical Black Storm Sea, Heroic Mythical Champion!”, the two executioners which had been tossed around like they were nothing basically since they appeared, regenerated on the spot and then turned into a dark blue/black-red liquid and dark green/black green wind current that clashed with each other mixing in the air, to then turn into a humanoid figure with a ”familiar” appearance.

The ”champion” as Karla had called the final version of her army creation spell, took the shape of a tall human with wings similar to the mermaid-siren, he also had an armored dorsal fin on his back and lateral armored fins on his forearms, which was a mix of the traits from the magic beats of which it was made.

So far so good right, well, next it’s worth mentioning that the ”champion” had long black hair and a handsome confidence filled face, yeah, it looked just like Ereth, which would explain why Karla used the word ”heroic” in her spell.

Also, the champion was a middle stage Stellar, but more importantly he had an Arch rank trait, and it wasn’t a domain, not even a battle avatar but… a magic avatar

”Clang!”, the champion who had just appeared, actually smacked away the spear which flew to the side before it crumbled apart as that was the last usage it had left before Freya had to cast it again.

”Crack!”, the champion flashed from his previous position to then appear next to Karla and use the hands of his magic avatar to punch the chains which produced loud metal colliding sounds, sparks and some cracks on the chains but didn’t outright destroy them, so the magic avatar extended its right hand and a replica of the dark red trident appeared once again in the battlefield.

”Booom!”, with a single thrust from the trident replica, the chains were destroyed and Karla was freed from Aisha’s spell.

”The ”hero” saving the ”princess” from the ”villain” at the last second, I didn’t think you had a romantic side to you, considering how you kept that guy at an arm’s distance at all times”, mockingly said Aisha.

The previous looked like a classic example of the hero arriving at the last second to save the damsel in distress, something that Karla actually despised because well, she only trusted herself, which is why she never tried to enter a proper contract with Ereth, the same applied to him though.

So, it was amusing that the final evolution of her technique was making a ”knight in a shining armor” for her, it was probably not what Karla wanted, but she had to resort to the rules she chose to make up for having her existence cut in half by Eve, were hero related, so they could exert stronger power in the hands of a ”hero” of course.

Karla omitted a teeny tiny little detail though, Freya… hates Ereth as much if not even more than her, she accepted to let Daimon fight Ereth because both she had a debt of gratitude with him and because while she was sure she could fight both at the same time if she went all out, she was not sure to be able to kill both, chances were that Karla could be killed, but Ereth being the annoying cockroach hero he is, might escape again and she absolutely refused to let that happen again, so it was better to let the silver haired masked youth whom she knew had the capacity to get rid of heroes for the good, since she saw what ultimately happened to Adam, while she was processing Daimon’s origin, deal with Ereth.

But then, Karla went and created her own personal ”hero” and it looked just like Ereth, she was honestly asking for it right now.

”Booooom!”, the valkyrie girl’s battle avatar burst into grey silver flame energy, her battle avatar actually grew larger, from four kilometer to six kilometer, which was the same size of the champion’s magic avatar.

”Conceptual Banner Winning Record”, she said as she had a single banner appear behind of her battle avatar this one had the word ”knight” engraved on it, which burnt on the spot without the need for a trigger command.

Perhaps because of the hatred Freya had for Ereth, but she finally obtained a new technique, though it was more of a modification of the one she has been using so far, since the conceptual banner record allowed Freya to revisit previously created banners, the winning ones to be accurate, skip having to make them fight and directly cast the resulting effects.

For example, right now, Freya made those winged boots which acted as her movement technique as well as the spear which had been just destroyed, reappear, as she flashed towards the champion and his magic avatar.

”Clang!!!”, the sword wielded by Freya’s battle avatar fiercely clashed against the replica of the dark red trident.

”Booooom!”, the impact was so strong that not only the sword which was at its last usage chance like the spear earlier, but the prongs of the trident both exploded on the spot.

”Clang!”, but Freya’s charge wasn’t over, she rolled the spear and aimed to slash down the enemy’s battle avatar all the way from its shoulder to its lower abdomen, but the spear’s blade was stopped by the shaft of the trident as the prongs were still in process of being regenerated.

”Reenactment of Conflict”, and now the new trigger command which was also a part of the new technique Freya had obtained, made its appearance, the winning record allowed Freya to revisit previously winning banners, skip the fighting part and cast their effects, and the new activation command allowed her to recreate them as soon as they were destroyed, without the need of a banner or anything.

For now she could only do so with a technique that was just destroyed but that was fine, so, the sword which had just left the battlefield, appeared for Freya to wield once again.

”Crack!”, the valkyrie girl’s assault was so fast and fierce that the prongs of the dark red trident replica hadn’t have the time to repair themselves, and a grey silver flaming energy sword was being slashed at the shaft of the trident which was barely managing to block the spear’s blade, which resulted in the trident’s shaft shattering and a diagonal slashing light reaching the enemy’s magic avatar which was severed in half to then be cut in countless small pieces.

”Mythical Black Storm Sea, Tempest Torrent Calamity Mount!”, the mermaid-siren who saw her ”champion” managing to not be turned into pieces by escaping his magic avatar at the last second, casted a battle spell which created a huge pillar of water and wind battle mana that took the form of a shark-like magic beast which rushed at the champion’s side, only for a towering white grey fluid metallic figure to block its path.

”Majestic White Empress, Demon Paradise Sea Guard”, said Aisha, a part of the metal ground that conformed her metal domain, became fluid as if a metal sea has been created, and out of it a forty-kilometer large serpent-like metal energy condensation emerged, in comparison the twenty-kilometer shark which Karla had created looked like a child in front of an adult.

And the result of the demon sea guard blocking the shark also went as one would expect from a confrontation between a child and an adult.

”Booooom!”, the fluid metal serpent wrapped a part of its body around the shark and then its fluid surface solidified and had sharp scales appear with which it ripped the shark to shreds.

And the shark wasn’t the only one who met a brutal end, as Freya slashing down the champion which didn’t have the time to recreate its magic avatar to then be blast away the pieces in which it was cut with the spear, suggested.

”Cough!”, the mermaid-siren coughed up blood due to backslash, but aside from the blistering fury she was feeling right now, she didn’t panic, for a good reason, the champion directly reappeared next to her before Aisha or Freya could continue their attacks this time aiming at her directly.

”So, are you finally going to accept that you alone are nothing, or do you need a bit more of ”motivation” from us?”, disdainfully said Aisha as her violet armor-clad body had silver lightning crackle around it.

Freya didn’t say anything, but her battle avatar has been literally burning in grey silver energy since earlier, in fact, it had grown even more, from six kilometers of height, the thing was now seven kilometers and it didn’t look like it was stopping there, neither Aisha nor Freya were advancing in realm in the slightest by the way, it was their battle prowess which was increasing as their energies grew stronger.

’Why, why are these damn whores so fucking strong, I have been meticulously working since I was paired with my host, I focused in four different aspects and reached a though lower in rank even better state than what I had when I was alive, why am I still losing, is the difference in talent so important, is the damn blood prison realm helping them so much, whyyyyyyy!!!’, screamed Karla to her insides.

As if Aisha could read her mind, or more accurately she read her blood so she knew what was Karla’s thought process like, the silver-haired vampire mother softly snorted as she added.

”At the end of the day you are just like Arlion, believing that external means are a magical solution to your flaws and problems, well, to a certain extent it can work, but only for mediocre and selfish pieces of trash, real power is to be attained by your own efforts and actual strong people don’t achieve that level for their own sake, after all destroying something is easy, protecting on the other hand, now, that’s a hard thing to do, right Freya?”, said Aisha to which the valkyrie girl nodded.

”Mm, weaklings can easily start a war pretty easily, however, to stop one, that needs an overwhelmingly strong one who can do so with as much as spelling a single word”.

Now, if this was a hero cliché fight, Karla might have had a flashback of the poor choices she made in her life, repent and then imagine what would things have been like if she wasn’t such a selfish piece of trash, but that’s not what happened in the slightest.

Why, because people don’t change that easily much less when they had invested so much into their ideals, they won’t just suddenly be convinced by someone else’s words or actions no matter how factual and accurate they might be.

After all, talent, appearance, background all of that can be obtained and altered, a fortunate encounter here, some potions there, a fateful meeting from time to time, all of which falls within the possibilities of a system user and thus of an administrator too, however, there is no magical method to stop being a piece of trash, and like Aisha told to Arlion, the systems are but amplifiers, they turn pieces of trash into glorified pieces of trash at most.

”I really can’t stand arrogant bitches like you who think they are something else, just because they were lucky to be born with more talent than others, but fine, if I can’t win alone, I just have to rely in something else, that stupid valkyrie has lost twice due to that, so maintaining relationships is as important if not more than talent!”, said Karla as she… pierced the chest of the champion from behind.

”Crack!”, the champions body cracked and then exploded, which made Karla bleed from her mouth and eyes, but she didn’t care at all, in fact she looked ecstatic as she saw the space behind of her be forcefully destroyed, even with Aisha’s three domains reinforcing it, as a giant white metal gate with yellow decorations slowly came out from the space crack.
