Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
496 Discoveries & Jasmine’s Whereabouts (part 2)
After giving the brown robed guy a moment to recompose himself, since his heart seemed to be about to burst out of his chest, due to the previous situation, which was justified considering he is just an early stage Lord rank, and not even a battle oriented one.
Though the robes the guy was wearing were actually a defensive beast equipment, and there was also an armor below that, both of which were early stage Arch rank seventh generation things.
The problem is that those things only protected his body, the arrays of the room were in charge of preventing the guy from being falling illusions, and they were erased by Disaster.
The guy couldn't have even endured Daimon's regular aura, much less the current boosted one, but he took thing to a different level, ever since he saw the effect of Yvi's Nightmare Demon Arrow he wanted to give it a try.
Those who were affected by it, practically killed themselves in many ways, as they were struck by fear past the limit their minds could resist.
So, Daimon tried a little trick here, in truth he didn't apply physical pressure on the brown robed guy directly, he made him twist and struggle against his own armor, in other words the brown robed guy did this to himself.
If Daimon would have actually applied the physical pressure he could produce as of current, on the guy, his ribcage would have exploded on the spot, even with early stage Arch rank treasures, an early stage Lord rank is hopeless against him, since his knight battle prowess is currently on that same level, and in the same level there is no one that has been able to match up to him.
"What the hell are you, you crazy bastard, do you know who you are missing with, I have a contract with this city, if you do anything to me, you are dead!", shouted the brown robed guy in response as he tried to control his shivering body.
Reyne who was a bit in shock of what happened earlier, especially how that black sword destroyed those arrays which weren't that far from the ones at her family's mansion, wanted to tell the guy that such a threat was meaningless, but Daimon was faster than her.
He grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a few things before handing it to the guy, who froze on the spot upon reading it, he immediately grabbed the paper and ripped it off into tiny shreds in panic.
"Y-You wanted to know everything important happening at northeast from Brown Wind town, right?", asked the brown robed guy, to which Daimon nodded before saying.
"And I don't care if is a secret, you know what will happen if you hide even the slightest detail from me".
The poor guy felt his back drenched in cold sweat, while he inwardly cursed Oliver.
Under Daimon's sharp gaze, the guy spilled the beans, turns out that for a change the point of conflict among humans and flesh eating demons, isn't the Red Plain battlefield, but one of the most dangerous areas in Kerrol, Alzac Volcanic Zone, the only place in the planet, where only Ach rank magic beasts live.
And that is saying a lot, magic beasts have bodies which are innately stronger than both humans and flesh eating demons, only those who are above average can go against a magic beast on the same realm and beat it without suffering heavy wounds or dying on the attempt.
So now imagine a land which is already dangerous due to the constant magma eruptions, blazing heat and suffocating emissions, which is also the home to Arch rank magic beasts, the result is a nightmare for both of the other races.
"There are rumors that some kind of ancient ruin suddenly emerged from the ground in the area, and both humans and flesh eating demons started fighting over it, until recently when it was discovered that there is a need for "keys" to enter that place, each race has one".
"So as one can imagine, there is a divided opinion in both sides, some want to sign a temporal truce, others want to launch an all-out war to obtain the key of the other, and the list continues… that's all I know about it I swear", said the brown robed guy.
Reyne didn't know about it, but it sounded like information that shouldn't be known by a third party, something that her father for sure wouldn't want the informant to spread around.
Which is why she was surprised that Emily didn't try to stop the guy from speaking, little did she know that she had that intention first, but was stopped by Jeanne who told her to not antagonize Daimon, unless he was directly trying to harm either Reyne or herself, and since this situation didn't fall in that range, then she refrained from doing anything.
"Now swear that you won't tell anyone about what you wrote before!", exclaimed the guy, which Daimon casually did as he got up from the sofa, to then leave the room followed by Sarah and Reyne.
The poor informant hadn't even let a sigh of relief when Emily undid her camouflage, scaring the hell out of him once again, she actually took off her mask so that she would be recognized.
"Y-You are the shadow knight of the Valleris, you can't kill me, according to the contract, if anything you should have protected me from that guy", said the guy to Emily, who simply shook her head.
"Nothing happened here, you never met those people, this is an order approved by someone with a higher authority than Oliver Tiria, naturally you won't be punished by something that didn't happen, understood?", she said with a sharp voice.
"You Valleris are as crazy as the rumors say… fine, I don't want to have anything to do with this, I'll continue with the previous deal as if nothing had happened, just keep that monster away from me", he said.
Emily nodded and then her figure blurred as she disappeared from plain sight, leaving the brown robed guy alone, even now, his back was drenched in cold sweat, he wasn't put under that strange aura for more than a couple of seconds, but it felt like hours for him, hours in which he felt as if his body was going to split from the inside.
But what truly horrified him, were those words wrote in the paper, by the masked man, because that was something that no one in the whole world, besides him should know.
Outside of the house, the crazy girl couldn't help but feel curious about what Daimon used to scare that guy so much, in her experience physical pain works better when trying to get answers.
And she knows that Daimon isn't someone that would bat an eye before ripping someone's head off, if it is needed to achieve his goal, because she is the same.
Naturally Daimon could feel the curious gaze of the crazy girl, piercing him like an arrow, which made him chuckle.
"I just perfectly described his true appearance up to the last detail, in that piece of paper", he said.
There two reactions to his words, first Reyne who was at disbelief, the identity of the information seller was a secret even for her parents, they are especially prepared by the black union, so that they are trained by retired informants whose lives are about to end.
Only the one who trains them gets to know their real appearances, and once their training ends, the teacher commits suicide, if they don't die during the process, since they only do so when they are certain their death is really close.
And then a special mask which emulates the face of the one who trained them, is made for them to wear as a sign of respect, the moment the face of an informant is known by the public, there is nothing but death waiting for it.
Then we have the second reaction, which was the crazy girl's breathing becoming unstable as she licked her lips behind her mask.
"Ah, as expected of my fated one, being able to inflict such fear with just words~", she mumbled, making Daimon sigh.
Emily, who just caught up with them, interrupted the moment, her voice could be heard by the three of them as she said.
"Young miss, your mother has asked us to return to the castle on the spot, that guy has asked it too but for different reasons, it would be for the better if our guests returned with us too".
Reyne turned to see Daimon with an apologetic expression on her pretty face, which was hidden behind her mask, but Daimon was actually expecting this to happen so he wasn't bothered by it.
"Don't worry, it must be something important if both are asking for it, I have just a bit of free time, before I leave so I'll tag along to see what is happening", he said, he wasn't the only one that took the decision, the crazy girl needed some time to use that drop of poison she bought, in any case they needed to have a talk with the city lord, because they needed a few things to speed up the travel they were about to start.
Reyne felt a bit down, listening to Daimon saying he was going to leave, but she at least felt happy that he was accepting to visit her home one last time before that, given that he seemed to be set on going to another place ever since they met.
And with that they rushed to one of the secret exits assigned to Reyne, which was a dead end in an isolated area, the moment they entered the place, she placed her hand on one of the walls and an array appeared on the ground, but this time Emily also did something.
She used her own token of identity, and the array changed destination, Daimon was able to notice it, the previous would have taken them to Gary's property, or some other places in the city, but with Emily's interference they were being transported directly to the castle.
…
A few seconds later the scenery changed from the underground city scene, to the elegant insides of the Valleris castle, more accurately to that room where they appeared through the array at Gary's property, which is actually a room to which only Jeanne, Emily and Reyne have access to.
Daimon could feel Jeanne's gaze on him the moment they appeared in the room, it wasn't a hostile one, but a rather interested one, which was within his expectation, considering what he did back at the informant's house.
"Reyne, would you mind to wait outside for a bit, I need to have a small conversation with them, don't worry if everything goes well, I will tell you everything we discuss from this point onwards", said Jeanne.
Reyne nodded, she knew her mother wouldn't lie to her, if she said she will tell her, then she will tell her.
"Mm, I'll wait outside for a bit, don't fight you two", she said with her calm gentle voice, to both Daimon and Emily.
Once Reyne was out of the room, Jeanne invited Daimon and Sarah to take seat in the sofa in front of her, which they did, Emily also changed from being a bodyguard to be Jeanne's best friend, so she didn't stand behind of her but sat next to her.
"Emi has told me what happened earlier at the informant's house… could you tell me from which Blood Archduke do you descend?", she asked with a serious voice.
Unfortunately for her, Daimon was in a loss for words right now, wondering what the hell did she meant, he wasn't part Ghoul like Emily, nor has he shown any signs of his vampire lineage, since he didn't use it for battle, his insane vitality came from his Apex Predator, the only time he used hi vampire lineage so far, was in the bedroom with the girls, when he drank their blood for pleasure purposes.
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone, I felt it earlier, deep hidden in your aura, I noticed it… it's the first time I met someone other than me, who was able to live past the first day after being", added Emily.
Then to Daimon's surprise, both Emily and Jeanne's eyes turned blood red, their skins also paled just a bit more, but that wasn't the biggest surprise, their realms, they both jumped to the peak of the Arch rank.
Normally Daimon would have been surprised that they managed to hide their realms not only from him, but from Rita, but the truth is that they weren't doing so, this was a boosting type ability similar to what Terry could do.
The question here was, why was Jeanne also going through such change, when Daimon couldn't previously detect Ghoul's blood on her, but that was easily cleared by Jeanne herself a moment later.
"Me and Emi saved each other by exchanging some of our internal organs with each other, due to a certain situation, which led us to become something different than both human or flesh eating demon, like you, when she noticed the resemblance in your aura to us, I also felt it, would you care to tell us your history?", she said.
Daimon was having a hard time processing what they said, it's not like humans and vampires couldn't have offspring, but the result will either be a vampire or a human, it's not like variants who though develop traits of two races or an evolved stronger combination, still have both lineages in them.
For vampires and human lineage to co-exist in the same body, it had to be… a new race, or at least new for the four galaxies, and as if to confirm what he was thinking he heard the familiar sound of a notification ringing in his ears.
[Nelapsi Lineage detected in the vicinity, collecting and refining it will be positive to the host]
'Now that is something I didn't expect', thought Daimon as he read the notification, that being said he understood it, the system didn't confirm nor negate that Emily was a Ghoul, and it only confirmed what her race was now after he got more information about it, which goes along with the restrictions of which he knows off.
As Daimon was about to answer, he heard someone knocking on the door, and both Emily and Jeanne returned to their normal states, there was no trace of their previous state left, as Jeanne asked.
"What is it?".
"Open the door, we have a little trouble in our hands, which involved our guests", it was Oliver voice the one who could be heard coming from the other side of the door.
While Jeanne and Emily both frowned, Daimon smirked behind his mask, since Rita had long informed him of said "trouble" to which Oliver was referring.
Well, to be fair it was indeed a trouble… for other people.
"Do you want to go?", asked Jeanne to which Daimon calmly nodded.
"No problem, this will be beneficial for all of us", he said.
Jeanne nodded back and then Emily's figure blurred as she used her camouflage, they all then stood up from their seats, and walked towards the door which Jeanne opened.
Outside of the room, there were both Oliver and Eliot waiting for them, as well as Reyne who had a somewhat annoyed expression on her face.
"There are some people from the church who came to pay us a visit and they wanted to talk with and I quote "The two sinners that visited the cathedral earlier with your daughter", so if there is something you want to tell me, this is the moment", said Oliver with a serious face.
"I told you they were suspicious father, hey if you involved Reyne in your stupidities, I'll personally cut off your head!", exclaimed Eliot, only to hear Sarah chuckle.
"Oh, really, you with your lame excuse of peak Lord rank battle prowess will do it, since you want to compare yourself to Gabriel, why don't you see if you can even endure a second of being exposed to my battle aura", casually said the crazy girl who was unaffected by the tense atmosphere.
"What did you say!", Eliot saw red, but as he was about to take out his sword, his father stopped him from doing so, in fact he actually dragged Eliot behind of him, while a cautious expression appeared on his face.
A moment ago, he could feel that if Eliot would have drawn his sword, he would have died on the spot, he didn't know why or from where would the attack come, but his instincts and experience told him, that the result would have been unavoidable, even if he interfered just as Emily mentioned before.
"Enough Eliot, it's not the first time the church comes looking for trouble and it won't be the last one either, let's go hear what they have to say and then take a decision, as long as they haven't done anything I won't let them so as they please", said Oliver, while Daimon inwardly smirked.
'It is definitely not the last time they will come looking for trouble, that's a given, but the next time there won't be words involved for sure', he thought as they walked towards the main hall of the castle.
