Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

"Huh?", as one would expect, Daimon gave Sarah a doubt-filled gaze, seeing that cunning pretty face of hers, made Daimon raised his right eyebrow at her.

"What is that crazy mind of yours scheming now?", he asked, making the crazy girl pout.

"Oh, come on, it's better when it's a surprise~", she said with a playful voice, which made Daimon sigh to then shake his head.

"I don't mind giving you some of my mana for Jasmine, and even some poison to you, but my blood is another thing…".

It's not like Daimon was stingy, or that he didn't trust those three, but not even Aisha who is probably one of the most talented vampires that has ever existed in the Wonder Myriad Stellar Chart, can contain her attraction towards him, after drinking his blood.

And that is after Aisha has gotten used to consume the blood of strong magic beasts as a part of her training when she was an Arch rank beforehand, Reyne on the other hand has never drunk blood before, so, no one could tell how strong her reaction would be if she took Daimon's one without any preparation.

Also, while not a being significant anymore, drinking the blood of another vampire directly, was supposed to be an act of intimacy, something only lovers would do.

But contrary to what one would expect, the crazy girl not only didn't seem to mind Daimon's negative answer, but that was what she wanted to hear, judging by the happy smile that flourished on her pretty face.

"I'm thrilled to hear that our beloved king has grown fond of spoiling me, but this time I won't be drinking it, and the same applies for little Jas and Reyne, so you can rest at ease, since she won't be pouncing on you, well at least not due to drinking your blood~", she cutely said, making Reyne glare at her.

Daimon's right eyebrow twitched, he fell for the trap of the crazy girl and now he is a hundred percent sure, she will be pestering him to snack on his poison on a regular basis, from now and onwards now that she knew he really wasn't against it anymore, and as if that alone wasn't enough, Sarah added.

"Light from those white flames, poison mana and blood from your heart, can you do it, pretty pleeeease~".

"You crazy…", Daimon's who was about to scold the crazy girl stopped midway as he saw the sea of purple nether, created by Sarah being dispersed by three different colored streams, but what really left him speechless is that the timing was too perfect for it to be a coincidence.

And as he expected, the next thing he saw was Sarah cutely rubbing her face against his shoulder, as if appealing to him, because their time was limited, and in a rare occasion her two sisters played along as in Jasmine gave Daimon puppy eyes, while Reyne though embarrassed, looked at him with expecting eyes, she wouldn't have minded to drink his blood for real, but this was a good start in her book.

"We'll have a little conversation about this later", said Daimon to Sarah, as he put hands to work, he tensed his right hand and his nails transformed into deep black claws which he used to pierce his own chest, in case you wonder why he used five claws, he needed at least this much to draw out blood from his body, the result was a strangely clear red looking drop of blood which rested on top of his index finger.

Then with a wave of his left hand, mana gathered at two spots simultaneously, in case you have forgotten, Daimon can cast spells from many parts of his body, so this much was not a problem.

Two wisps of flames of different colors, lit up at his right and left, one white and silver and one black and purple colored, they were both degraded versions of his Demon Light, one containing light and metal, while the other was poison and darkness.

Daimon might be annoyed by the crazy girl's schemes, but he sure went an extra mile for her, Sarah asked for better things for her sisters, while she planned to make do with just poison mana, of course there is nothing exactly average in Daimon, even if his poison affinity isn't developed as much as the others which he uses on a daily basis.

But little did Sarah know that, while in Manifestation state, Daimon can alter his Demon Light to contain other elements, even if they are not integrated into it, without it collapsing like he is doing as of current, in fact… he had a little surprise for Reyne too.

With a snap of his fingers, the single drop of blood resting on top of his index finger, started radiating a bright red-orange light, that was vitality and fire mana.

"I haven't developed blood affinity to the point of being able to use it unlike poison, but I'm really confident in the vitality contained in my blood and my fire affinity", said Daimon as he finished preparing something even better than what the crazy girl asked from him.

Just at the same time as the three Lords broke out of Sarah's strongest wide area martial art, it's worth mentioning that they were in a horrible state, with some melted bloody areas where even their bones could be seen.

It's not like Sarah's single attack could easily overwhelm the three of them combined, even if she actually put almost every bit of nether she had left into it, the three Lords could have definitely escaped from it if they put their backs into it, without suffering such horrible wounds.

This was more of a case of them restraining the usage of their nether, because they were now using the one they had stored in those objects after their own reserves had reached the bare limit they needed to keep moving and fighting, since their bodes were crumbling apart as a side effect of going all out, and the external nether they gained was going to be used to get rid of their respective enemies.

That being said and as much as they wished to rip the crazy girl to shreds, for pushing them to this extent, right now, they were more troubled due to the masked silver haired youth, whom they saw control both light and darkness at the same time!

It's not like the three Lords didn't know Daimon had both affinities, it became obvious that he did, due to his manifestation, however though incredibly rare, there are instances of special lineages which allow some of their members to posses both light and darkness affinities, such as the Ivory one about whom Byron was somewhat aware, given that he "married" one of their members.

But possessing both affinities, being able to develop them, balance them both so that they don't clash and reduce their power just by coexisting in the same body, not to mention being able to use them at the same time are completely different things, you could say that the first one is the most "common" out of the three, something that can be achieved by luck, or some fortunate encounter.

The second being an achievement worthy of the title of genius, and the third one being reserved exclusively for monsters among geniuses like Joanna or the nelapsi girl for example.

As for the last one, it is… considered impossible, even at the level at which the Lords used to be, which is why they now had shocked expressions, which then turned into horror as the three of them blurted out a word which caught Daimon's attention.

"A-Arcanist!", now that's a term which Daimon first heard from that guy whom he thought was a skelefiend back at the black stone corridor, which led to Neptune, before finding out that he was a nethereal, and it was mentioned a few times by some specific enemies, the biggest coincidence being nethereals, in fact the original Lords which were the ones that attacked him, when he was travelling through the spatial tunnel to Neptune, also mentioned that term.

And in case you wonder why Daimon still hasn't "asked" any nethereal about it, he has, but none of them has their memories of back then, and those that retained some fragments of it, had no idea about it, which means that it must be some high-level secret among the nethereal race.

'I thought it was their way to call system users, since their existence is not a secret at higher ranked places, but considering Ophelia didn't use that word, and her place of origin is close to the one of nethereals, not to mention that they had dealt with Ereth before but weren't this wary about him, there must be something more to it'.

The good part is that, since they have thought about it, their memories regarding that matter will surge and since it's a topic of interest for him, if he got a Memory Orb from them, the information he wants will be recorded inside of it, they have to die first of course.

Speaking of which, Sarah put on a lovely smile as she grabbed the sphere of darkness and poison that Daimon had gathered for her to then press it against her chest, more accurately the area where the heart is positioned, for a second there she looked lovely, her eyes were filled with warmth as she gazed at Daimon, before she returned to her usual self.

"Well, I can enjoy the punishment for being a bad girl later, for now, let's go collect a debt my cute little sisters~", said the crazy girl to then charge at the three Lords, leaving behind a light princess and a nelapsi girl whose faces were red for some reason.

The three Lords who returned to the real world the moment they saw Sarah flash in their direction, directly exploded in nether, they stopped restraining the usage of nether on the spot.

'Damn it, no wonder it's not only that abomination the one giving us trouble, but even the other two turned out into a real problem, that masked bastard was a damn Arcanist!', exclaimed Reed, in a voice that only the Lords could hear.

'In that case you two know what to do, we absolutely can't let him meet that shark bastard, who knows what variables will he cause to our original selves plans…', Byron's words were interrupted by the Sarah's playful voice which came at them from behind.

"I can hear what you three are thinking all the way here, however you are dreaming if you think, we'll let you get even close to our beloved~", this time Sarah outright didn't use the king part, but let's leave Daimon weirded expression for later, right now the Lords were the important part, and their angered faces were worth seeing.

Sarah had used the mind flame demon to trick them into thinking she was charging at them frontwards, like usual, when she had in fact vanished from plain view to then sneak behind of them, and more accurately sneak behind of Reed.

"Shi…", the Asmadian Lord's face became gray ashen, because Sarah's hands were pointed at him, in preparation for what came next.

"Toxic Desire", with complete lack of her usual playfulness and a cold murderous light shinning in her pretty purple eyes, the crazy girl used her innate ability, which resulted in blood pouring out of Reed's eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

"Blegh!", that was Reed's body suddenly being filled with poisonous nether from the inside, surprisingly, the Asmadian lord didn't turn into a puddle of black liquid like usual, which gave a chance to Aslan who was next to him, to charge at Sarah.

Or at least that's what he believed, because a few centimeters before his fist which still had the phantom armor protecting it, could reach the crazy girl's pretty face, crimson chains wrapped around his arms and legs stopping him in cold.

"Humph, do you think I'll fall for your mind tricks again!", roared the Bane Lord, to which Sarah smirked in response.

"You three know what my Toxic Desire does, so why do you think Reed is still alive when he is a lustful piece of scum", she mockingly said, which made Aslan's eyes contract like needles.

"What have you done!", he screamed, before his body was dragged away by the crimson chains.

In case you wonder what is happening, let's return to a few moments ago, right to when the crazy girl took in that sphere of poison and darkness from Daimon, to then charge at the three lords, before leaving she sent one message in secret to her sisters.

'Don't think too much about it, we are going to be with him forever anyway, so there is no reason to hesitate now, is there~', and with those words she left, that was the origin of the blushed expressions those two had, which was a mystery to Daimon, at least until he saw both Jasmine and Reyne following Sarah's steps and grabbing what they asked from him, to then press it against their chests.

However unlike with Sarah, when nothing happened, there was a change in those two, at least one that the infinity eyes could see.

"So that's what it was for… an innate ability", said Daimon as he saw a white diamond shaped crystal appear above the middle area of Jasmine's crown, while something similar happened to Reyne, the difference being that for her it was a concentrated crimson red mist agglomeration.

However, what drew most of his attention wasn't that, but the mix of his mana and Sarah's nether, which was coming from those two's hearts, speaking of which both the light princess and the nelapsi girl could feel Daimon's gaze on their chest area, and both had the same cute reaction, which was covering it with their arms by crossing them in front of their chest.

The interesting part is that those two were brave enough to want to sleep in the same bed as him, in fact they showed jealousy towards the Risha sisters who cuddled with Daimon, and also knew that he didn't use the infinity eyes to peek at them, but at what was happening at an energy level, and yet reacted like that, so there must be something else ongoing here.

Daimon was especially inclined to believe so, because those two ran away like scared rabbits the next second, but he decided to wait for them to wrap things up before interrogating them.

...

And now we return to the previous scene when Aslan was dragged away by crimson chains, what happened is that a certain nelapsi girl had arrived at the battlefield, her green-red eyes were burning with crimson flames as she beckoned at the Bane lord.

"Vengeance", with a single word, the three undead whose corpses were laying flat on the ground a few hundreds of meters away from Aslan, suddenly got up, their heads burned away in a second, leaving a fierce burning crimson flame to replace them.

The chains which had stopped Aslan earlier were the same chains which used to be restraining them, and now the three of them had appeared around the Bane Lord.

"You bitch, how dare you use necromancy against me!", shouted Aslan, to which the nelapsi girl snorted.

"I'm not controlling them, nor did I create a new entity with their corpse as a base, this temporary life flame is the result of the burning desire they had to make the one who killed them, pay, it's life combined with fire to create death and so it's the other half of my crown's innate ability Naught".

The three "Revenge Revenants" as Reyne instinctively knew they were named, grabbed Aslan by his arms and neck, cruel smiles were formed by the burning crimson flames which had replaced their heads as they dragged him towards Reed, while burning his body, starting by the phantom armor, which instantly exploded un crimson flames, it was like throwing a match into a puddle of gasoline.

"Aghhhhhh!", of course the crimson flames burning his body made Aslan scream due to pain, but his nether was being restrained by the chains which used to be the link between himself and his undead, while his physical body was being restrained by the three former elite undead.

"Damn it!", Byron who was the only one that could still fight, actually turned around to flee, not out of cowardice, but because in his eyes this fight was their loss, however that didn't mean the "war" was also lost.

'I have to tell our original selves about that masked bastard, and even if those two are killed, so long as one of us makes it to where they are, they can be brought back…', as an experienced commander, it's not a shame to know when to make a tactical retreat, and certainly sometimes to win the war one must lose a fight or two.

Unfortunately for him, there was a certain fierce light princess who didn't agree with letting him escape.

"Penalty", Jasmine who had appeared on Byron's retreat route, snapped her fingers and Byron's legs where the red stream which used to have turned into the temporary right arm, which he was using after Gram cut the real one, suddenly lost their strength, what followed were cracking sounds coming from all over Byron's body, before he fell from the sky.

His expression twisted due to the pain that was travelling through his whole body, but what angered him the most was that he didn't understand how it happened.

"How, I didn't use a buffing martial art, this is an innate ability!!!", he roared, to which Jasmine coldly said.

"Penalty is the first evolution of my "Banishment", and unlike it, it's not limited to cleanse boosts caused by buffing techniques, in fact it doesn't dispel the boosting effects, but instead gives a punishment according to the boosts that have been applied to its target".

In other words, Byron's bones had been fractured by Jasmine's "Penalty" because he has reinforced his whole body with his innate abilities and martial arts, and that also explained what was going on, apparently both Reyne and Jasmine's crown abilities had advanced to the next stage.

In Reyne's case, she was able to use the other half of her "Naught" which is "Vengeance", because she embodies duality the best, her crown's ability has two different effects per stage, so instead of evolving like Jasmine's one, she obtained the other half, while Jasmine's Banishment did change.

And that also threw some light on Byron, as in he realized what was going on, or more accurately how it happened.

"R-Royal Bond, you crazy abomination, you actually learned it!", he screamed to Sarah who giggled in response.

"So, what if I did, what if I didn't~", she playfully said, to which Byron hysterically laughed at her.

"And here I was worrying to death about you being a problem in the future, but you cut yourself at the root, Royal Bond certainly is one of the better if not the best among the support innate abilities that all the members of our race can awaken, but there is a reason as to why no talented person ever learns it…", Byron's pleased voice was interrupted by Sarah who grinned at him as she said.

"It prevents the one who learns it from ever reaching the King rank, because it limits innate abilities to a maximum of six, I also know that instead of needing eight innate abilities to obtain the rank of "Prince" it's more accurate to say that a prince can only learn eight to ten innate abilities at most, right", she said with a playful voice that gave Byron a bad premonition, which became true the next second, when an ethereal looking purple skeletal hand with claws, appeared next to her.

There was dark red, black and neon pink nether flowing through it, that was the representation of the crazy girl's crown's innate ability, "Nemesis", the one with which she stole the innate abilities of the three lords earlier.

"You see, the evolution of my Nemesis, "Unhinged" allows me to ignore any negative side effects and restrictions on innate abilities which I stole and since a limit is a restriction, as long as I steal them instead of learning them… there is no limit to the innate abilities I can obtain through Nemesis~", said the crazy girl which made Byron nearly vomit blood.

Sarah had used her Nemesis to steal "Royal Bond" from them, they didn't learn it but it was used on them to evolve one of their innate abilities back when they were young, it was a common practice, noble houses raised talented pawns to make them awake Royal Bond in order to help their successors become stronger, of course they could only receive this benefit once, otherwise the nethereal race would have already defeated the Northern Sea Army.

And curiously, Royal Bond is a technique that was created by the founder of the Lust faction, a piece of scum who used his lovers to evolve the innate abilities of his talented offspring, which resulted in them dominating the nethereal race, until the technique leaked and spread in the other factions.

"Royal Bond requires an insane amount of "lust" to work, hence why distant branch members are brought to the main house and raised to grow attached to the one they'll use it on, it takes years for the process to work!", shouted Byron, he refused to believe what Sarah said, because if it was true, then she was a menace not only for their original seles, but to their whole race.

"Oh, that's simple to solve, we just needed something to strongly stimulate our "love", and luckily our beloved has some out of the chart charisma, so how could our pure maiden hearts resist his charm~", playfully said the crazy girl, as she gazed at Daimon, before changing her focus back to where Byron had landed, because Reed and Aslan joined him on the ground.

The former was still bleeding from all his orifices, while the latter had suffered third degree burns all over his body, seeing those three being piled next to each other, while her sisters had appeared next to her, Sarah concluded by saying.

"As you can see, we have found someone amazing to take care of "us", so you can happily rest in pieces now~".

"Royal Purple Death Javelin".

"Royal Crimson Piercer".

"Royal White Heavenly Slash".

With calm, yet fierce expressions on their pretty faces, the three sisters used the last of their nether in one last attack each, which engulfed the three lords before they could react, the only thing that could be heard before a thunderous explosion occupied the whole throne room, was Byron cursing.

"You damn…", even then, he couldn't finish his sentence, before his body was cut, burned and melted at the same time.
