Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Chapter 258 Man Proposes, God Disposes And The Demon Decomposes (Part 4)

The small lightning sphere which condensed in front of Aisha's hand became a flash of silver light that disappeared from everyone's vision.

Well, not everyone, Nestor which was the only one among the members of the Red Bone tribe alive left, managed to see the moment when Aisha's attack collided with one of the ships.

"Booom!", a large explosion followed by a spherical flash of light which engulfed the ship, made everyone cover their eyes.

Then a strong gust of wind made the other ships move randomly, and also made water splash all over the place.

"Chance", Nestor who managed to cover his eyes earlier, noticed that everyone was still a bit disorientated, and he sneakily moved his body through the deck, when he reached the border, he immediately stood up and jumped out of the ship.

'The enemies this time are too dangerous, I must warn cousin…aghh!', just when Nestor was about to take a small boat from his ring, to escape from this place, he felt a steel like grip strangling him and the next thing he knew was that his face was smacked against the deck.

"So, Scarlet's theory was right, your tribe depends on enhancing their eyes and don't have mana sense", Daimon's indifferent voice made its way to Nestor's eyes making him tremble in fear.

"I-I was already half way down the ship, how the hell did you caught up with me", said Nestor as he gritted his teeth, trying to contain the blood that was coming out of his nose and mouth.

This was a theory Daimon had earlier, when he exchanged moves with Eleazar he noticed his time of reaction was worse than others he has fought before, also he didn't cause a "manifestation" phenomenon, despite having a strength equal with an early-stage Lord rank.

Originally, he thought that maybe the members of the red skinned tribe were knights, since the trait for Knight Lords is different than the one of mages, but they didn't use battle aura and according to Amber and Lapis, while knights did exist in Melize, only the Rock Hoof tribe and the Tidal Wave tribe had them, others were always mages.

That also explained why the blue skinned corpse he found in the first ship he stole from the creatures, had a decent potential in the knight's path, because it was meant to be like that.

"Aghhh!", a painfilled scream drew everyone's attention, as the light flash faded, Calvin and the others saw Daimon breaking Nestor's arms and legs, before he kicked him all the way to the ship, which Scarlet and the other girls were in charge off.

"Watch him for me, we have a long "conversation" to have later".

"Mm", the girls nodded and then chained Nestor with the same chains that were used on them before throwing him in the interrogation room.

Daimon kept those chains, since the things actually restrained others from using mana, he stored a couple for Liz, because as the owner of Disaster he has seen and felt antinite before… and those chains didn't have it, it was a great discovery.

"Cut their retreat!", Daimon shouted, and Calvin and Michael drove the two ships they just stole from the Red Bone tribe and surrounded the remaining three ships where the Paladins were, while Aisha moved the ship, they were in to block the way, Scarlet and the others did the same.

So now the three enemy ships were surrounded and being aimed at, by cannons in all the directions, Daimon even took out the two main cannons he stole earlier and pointed them at the Paladins.

The three ships were being protected by a dome of vines, whoever casted that barrier was a second late, so the fourth ship was still blown into smithereens and while the vine barrier protected the other ships from the aftermath of the spell it also hindered their retreat, and now they were surrounded.

Daimon jumped and landed on the beak of the ship, and then injected mana into his infinity eyes, to see through the vines that were covering the remaining enemy ships.

Once he reached the amount of mana needed, he managed to bypass the physical barrier and see what was inside.

Two of the ships were being occupied by a couple first years each, an alfear and a human and a dwarf and a human respectively, they were all two starred mages, as for the one which size was on par with the ship from the royals Daimon was now using, there were three second year students, a dwarf, an alfear and lastly a human, the one maintaining the vine barrier was the alfear.

Something that got Daimon's attention was that they were all women, the first years included, not like it affected his plans, he wanted the "cooperation" of the Lord ranked from the Blue-Sky galaxy, so he wasn't going to kill them all anyway.

The only ship he asked Aisha to destroy was the one that tried to kill Calvin and the others before, he watched them carefully and that was the only one whose cannons aimed directly at them, the others aimed at the ships or the nearby area.

"You know that barrier won't change anything, even if you can block Lord ranked attacks it won't last long against our attacks and the cannons of this ship", shouted Daimon making sure his voice reached the ones inside the vine barrier.

"Humph, let's see if you dare to do it, there are three descendants of Half Emperors here, if you try something, once you leave this stupid place, it will be your death!", one of the three girls on the bigger ship shouted with an outraged voice.

Daimon smirked, he slowly pointed at a specific area of the vine barrier, darkness and lightning exploded around him and a two centimeters line of black light was shot from the point of his index finger.

"Hell Storm Javelin", the line of black light pierced through vine barrier and was blocked by something else just before it reached its target, the left side of the chest of the girl that threatened a moment ago, which happened to be the human.

"Oh?", Daimon was actually surprised by the result, with his infinity eyes he saw the dwarf girl using a black shield to stop his spell, unlike Aisha's thunder arrow which focused on large scale destruction, his Hell Storm Javelin focused in piercing defenses, it was a spell he created to deal with knights as he could easily maintain for as long as he wanted and even make it stronger by injecting more mana into it.

Which he did right now, the originally two-centimeter black light suddenly doubled its size, which allowed Daimon to feel the javelin slowly pierced the first layers of the shield, and also, he saw the dwarf girl taking a step back due to the force behind the spell.

"Go ask the Jolbaris if I dare to attack descendants of Half Emperors, or in your case it will be easier to ask the Gladius, Grayer and Ascott families", with an indifferent expression, Daimon doubled once again the force of the spell.

This time the shield of the dwarf girl was practically pierced through, and although the original target which was the human girl already got out of the way, the attack would probably make a hole on the ship, so the dwarf girl did a last try and bashed the black javelin successfully redirecting it upwards.

A pillar of black light pierced the roof of the vine barrier and disappeared into the sky not too long after, making the three girls but specially the dwarf girl to let out sighs of relief, at least until they saw another javelin condensing in Daimon's right index finger.

"Wait, Demon of the elite class!", the alfear girl looked at the dwarf girl and noticing that she might not be able to block a second javelin, which was understandable, Hell Storm Javelin is a double element five-star spell, a spell which eats away more than half of Daimon's abnormally high mana reserves for an eight centimeters javelin.

Any starred mage would suffer a headache or even faint after using so much of their mana in a single attack, in Daimon's case he didn't suffer any recoil because even if his mana hit rock bottom, he still had his reserves of battle aura, that's why he could use all his mana reserves before drawing more from the virtually endless amount stored in his magic core to refill his reserves.

The alfear girl was told by a distant relative of hers about a black-haired youth which overbearingly got back at some alfear for attacking a silver haired girl, and she understood that by the still fear filled expression of the one telling her the story, the retaliation was really harsh, so she immediately raised her voice to draw Daimon's attention.

Daimon looked at the alfear girl, who felt as if some kind of fierce magic beast has fixated its attention on her, but she softly bit her lips and then returned the gaze at Daimon.

"I was told you don't attack those who don't attack you, considering you seem to be able to see through my vine barrier, and since only that ship was blasted away, I can assume you noticed we didn't have the intention to kill anyone… or was all that a lie?".

Daimon chuckled, the javelin he was condensing was dispelled and the mana was absorbed by him.

"Yeah, that's my policy, those idiots tried to kill us so I killed them, but that doesn't change the fact that you attacked us too".

"I can promise to compensate you for the trouble as long as you let us leave, besides the three of us, the others here are just first years who had zero battle experience… and they were forced to see their classmates suffering by the creatures or those strange guys in similar ships to the ones you have, I noticed that you weren't part of them late and only managed to order them to attack the ship instead".

"Wait, what the hell are you saying Tessa, why should we compensate, he killed Kyle", the human girl gritted her teeth and glared at Daimon poisonously.

"Pah!", Daimon saw the alfear girl slapping the human girl which was throwing a tantrum.

"I'm the vice-captain, if you have any complains, then you can expose them later, but for now, the one in charge is me, also in case you haven't noticed Femi saved your life just a few seconds ago, and she is now wounded due to that, so unless you want to die, shut up!".

"Demon of the elite class, I can compensate with a fruit from the world tree".

"I'll add a piece of purified Silver Mercury".

Both the alfear and the dwarf girls spoke, they were late for their destination and they needed to leave as soon as possible, because they were the reinforcements.

Daimon nodded.

"Deal, but the ships are mine now, and you'll have to convince the Mage Lord sent by the Blue-Sky galaxy to help if needed, and don't try to tell me you don't have that much authority… princess of the Evergreen royal family and daughter of the chief of the Hepha tribe".

The alfear girl agreed, but she also added her own conditions.

"Fine, but you won't attack our classmates without any reason, out enemies here are those disgusting creatures and those savages… also we won't be servants but guests".

Daimon nodded.

"You can keep one of the other two ships as a temporal transportation mean, but the flag ship is mine, now hurry up, we have a long trip ahead".

The vine barrier disappeared revealing the three ships and their now ex owners, the first one Daimon noticed was the alfear princess, unlike other alfear her hair was a mix of blond and black instead of brown, and a member of the royal family the blond part surpassed half of it reaching about three quarters, her eyes also didn't match with the common green or blue, but were honey toned, and she was wearing a white detached sleeve dress with blue decorations, even when she had that wary expression, it didn't hide the fact that she was quite a beauty, but what drew Daimon's attention was that she was a dual affinity mage.

And it was quite a strange combination, nature which was the rule for the royal family of the alfear and darkness which shouldn't be possible for an alfear.

Tessa stole a couple of gazes at Daimon's group and noticed Scarlet and the other girls, which made her frown, but she also noticed they didn't look exactly like the people from the tribes, so she didn't say anything and instead jumped out of the ship to one of the other two, followed by the dwarf girl and after a moment of hesitation the human girl too.
