Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

"Mm?", Aisha noticed her son holding her hand and she smiled and cuddled with him, Daimon who had closed his eyes to rest and recover to his peak state after having used Core Synchrony, felt the soothing sensation of his mother's warmth and he couldn't help but put on a comfortable expression.

Which didn't escape the Risha sisters, but they didn't say anything, the sensation of Daimon's mana circulating in their mana circuits was enough to keep them happy… for now.

There was another girl who stole some gazes at them from time to time, Jasmine drank the one of the mana replenishing potions Daimon handed her with a contemplative expression in her pretty face.

She played with the empty bottle, as she was lost in her thoughts.

'When I was travelling with that guy he kept asking for potions and other resources, and never asked me if I still had some left for me, nor ever offered any of his nor he cared if I was wounded or not… from the very beginning he was using me, he never cared about me as a companion like Gabriel does', she thought as she clenched her little fists.

But then she felt someone's gaze on her, and she returned to reality, she followed the origin of the sensation and notices Daimon's left eyes which was slightly opened and looking at her.

'Sorry', she spelled without actually letting out any sound, but then her eyes widened a bit as she heard Daimon's voice on directly on her ears.

'Don't let him take anything else away from you, of course make him pay, but don't let his actions change you nor rule your life'.

Ultimately Jasmine could only smile, before she laid down on the bed to refine the mana replenishing potion.

Daimon closed his eye once again, a moment ago he felt a burning hatred aura near which wasn't directed to anyone in the room, and then the unmistakable sound of a notification rang in his ears.

[Ding]

[The level of trust of the daughter of the Northern Sky has been updated <!>]

[Level of trust currently attained 10% à 15%]

Daimon dismissed the notifications, he had no intention of manipulating Jasmine, nor he has used any skill to cloud her mind, why do you ask, it would be easy for him using "Casanova", and the effect of the tittle "Promise of the Northern Sky", "Sanctuary" would become infinitely better which is a lot to say considering it is already quite incredible.

[Sanctuary: Once a day, the host will be able to select full recovery of either, mana, battle aura, stamina, vitality, or heal any wound as long as the host is still alive (further development, requires the host to repair the broken trust caused by the failure of the previous holder of the oath)]

It's practically a second life if used properly, so what would its advanced effect might be, no one would be able to blame him for doing so, he originally saved her due to the mission, though his instincts did tell him it was the right thing to do as well.

But the whole thing changed when Daimon looked at her eyes after she realized she was used by Adam… because he saw some of his old self in her, the deep burning hatred which he was able to overcome thanks to the girls, had started to show in Jasmine's eyes.

And originally, he was indifferent towards it, Adam was going to get a spoon of his own medicine, once they got out of this place, with Jasmine alive she was of course going to tell her grandmother, and Adam was going to pay for what he did.

But he also saw her chatting, laughing and cooperating with the girls and she didn't deserve to be consumed by hatred, so he decided to lend her a hand, just like someone else did for him many years ago.

Of course his actions didn't got unnoticed, for a couple of people, first Aisha who giggled and then tightened her hug around her son's body to whisper at him.

'You have changed a lot lately darling, perhaps it was indeed a good idea to come to the academy~'.

Daimon chuckled with his eyes still closed, but he still answered.

'I feel different too, those three, Calvin, Michael, Loren, Haylee, Aliya, Boris, … I never thought I would end up learning so many names outside of my family'.

'Not to mention adding some of them to the family, like the little bird girls~', added Evangeline.

Daimon inwardly shook his head.

'Let's just rest, Narasha you were incredible earlier, the way you blocked that guy's attacks surpassed what we previously practiced'.

'Thanks, it was really fun Daimon, I want to break other magic weapons for you~', said Narasha with an unusual energetic voice.

'Sure, we'll have more of it later'.

…

The rest of the hour Daimon kept chatting with Aisha, Narasha and Evangeline who was surprisingly talkative today instead of being constantly napping like normally.

Once the hour passed, Daimon opened his eyes and then he tapped Aisha's shoulder, to which she unwillingly let go of him, as it was time to work once again.

As Daimon got up he saw that Mellie and Jasmine were finishing the treatment of the first princess, while the maid Chris had already woken up a couple of minutes earlier, she was still a bit in shock for what happened earlier, but she didn't forget to give Daimon a grateful gaze.

Especially because Mellie told her about him giving her the potions she fed Daphne, and also how he explained to tend to her, so there won't be side effects for all the tension she had put her body through.

Daimon nodded at her, and then he looked at the three sisters which were sleeping, in those strange positions, Leslie was occupying a large part of their side of the bed with her arms and legs extended, Yvonne's black ling hair was neatly spread covering her face and chest, while Liliana was covered with the blanket from her toes to her neck, leaving only her head out.

"They have such bad sleeping habits", he mumbled as he walked towards the hole in the ground that led to the second cave.

'I'll be back in moment mom', he said to Aisha as he jumped into the hole in the ground, the next thing wasn't going to be pleasant to see nor hear after all.

Once Daimon landed on the second cave, he saw Karmandi as well as the centipede Neal and the snake Kamir already waiting for him.

"I have soundproofed the cave, just in case… so how do you want to do it, Neal's poison is helpful to make others spill the beans", said Karmandi.

He might prefer head on battles, but that didn't mean he was a muscle head, he reached the position of a general in the files of the Black Empress after all, so he knew how to get information from enemies.

Daimon knew Karmandi had a lot of questions regarding how many traitors were hiding among his Empress subordinates, and apparently the Bottom Shredders had already given him any information they had, so it was time to divide and conquest.

"You interrogate the sea flea and I'll start with the Skelefiend, don't kill it of course, then we can exchange targets".

The snake general nodded and then he and his two subordinates slid towards the sea flea, which had received minor treatment so it didn't die, and was also unfrozen but chained to the wall and poisoned so it couldn't move just in case.

Daimon on the other hand walked towards the Skelefiend who was just a trunk as his limbs were blown away by Aisha's thunder arrow, his bones were nailed to the wall and Karmandi's subordinates who were able to radiate light were surrounding him and the Bottom Shredders, with the intention of weakening and restraining them.

Miserius was already awake, his eyes were filled with resentment as he saw Daimon's silver hair, also just like Aisha, he was wearing the hollow suit, to the Skelefiend was easily able to tell they were related.

"You have no idea who you are messing with, no one in this planet will be able to do anything once that "Lord" start to act", spat the Skelefiend.

Daimon nodded in response.

"You are right, I don't know, but I don't care also, since he has decided to target me, then he is my enemy and the last thing he will see is my sword cutting its head off, since you seem so talkative why don't you tell me what's your deal, you and the pirates wouldn't move a finger if there is no benefit after all".

Miserius gritted his teeth before saying.

"Or what, are you going to torture me, I don't have any hopes of getting out of here alive, but at the same time you can forget to get anything from me, that "Lord" can and will revive me if I have served him right, so I don't care about dying!".

Daimon smirked as a whisp of white flames appeared above his left index finger.

"Oh, you will die believe me, I'm not offering to freed you under any circumstance besides a complete submission from you, which is unfortunately unavailable for the time being, but the way you die can be horrible or peaceful, that is up to you".

Seeing that the Skelefiend was being stubborn, Daimon beckoned and the whisp of white flames landed on one of its may bones.

"Aghhhh!", as expected not even a second later a lung-tearing scream echoed through the cave, getting the attention of all the magic beasts.

Such a pained scream should be akin to a horrible torture and that's what they expected to see, but the outcome was different, it was just Daimon standing there with an indifferent expression, while a small quantity of white flames consumed one of the bones of Miserius.

In fact Daimon's results ended up softening the sea flea which was being threatened by Neal, because Karmandi casually mentioned it will be his turn once they are done with it.

Daimon approached Miserius and then with a sinister smile he said.

"I have seen others returning people to "life", and let me tell you a little secret, without at least a piece of the original body it is impossible to do so, as there will be nothing that attaches you to this world".

"My flames don't hurt like this because of their temperature, though they are indeed hot, they don't burn, and instead destroy, in other words by the time I'm finished with you, there will be nothing left, not even ashes, you'll be 100% death once and forever".

Miserius was already at the verge of crying due to the horrible pain, which was enough for his mind to be agitated thus being susceptible to Daimon's Overlord's Pride, and now listening that he wasn't going to be electable to be revived, his bravado of before shattered.

Especially because to his displease, they were indeed told there were "restrictions" to be able to return, and though they weren't told which were, what Daimon said sounded really convincing and logic right now.

"W-Wait, I will tall, I will talk!!!", he shouted seeing those flames finishing one of his bones and spreading to a second one, normally when they lose a bone they can grow them back by themselves.

Given how his limbs were blasted away, he knew he couldn't do it by himself, but there were still medicines that would be able to help him, though they will be painfully expensive, but the bone he just lost was different, he couldn't feel the wound, the thing was simply gone, he was almost sure it won't be able to grow back, unless he set a foot on the Stellar rank.

Daimon snapped his fingers and the whisp of Demon Light returned to his body as he took out a chair from his inventory and sat in front of Miserius.

"That wasn't so hard, ah right I can tell when others are lying so if you try it say goodbye to more of your bones, now I'm all ears".

Miserius saw the smirk in the face of the silver haired youth and he felt a shiver running down his spine.

'He's a demon', he thought as he hurried up and started to spill the beans.
