Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System-Novel

The queen observed Daimon for a couple of seconds before she gazed at his shadow because there was literally a hand coming out of it, not even a second later, she saw a black armored knight descending from the sky to kneel in front of him.

"It's done young master; how do you wish to deal with those little rats that are hiding underground?".

The "gift" Oswald left in preparation for the bodyguards that were trying to break out of the isolation array, was actually two of his subordinates who were hiding underground.

Their role ended up saving their lives as Oswald devoured the others, but was more inclined to get rid of Spencer before consuming them, still they did saw him becoming a crazy monster, and hid themselves to the point of even stopping breathing and slowing down their heart beat.

Unfortunately for them, whatever Horals had become/might be becoming after signing the contract with Daimon, he was incredibly sensitive towards vitality, a really strange trait for someone who used to be a bone general, but that's how things were.

Before Daimon could answer and seeing that they were not paying her any attention, the queen softly cleared her throat.

"Ahem, excuse me little friend, before anything let me give you my most sincere thanks for helping these little seeds that will grow to become the pillars of my Clear Water kingdom in the future".

The queen remained silent for a moment, before under the surprised eyes of all the ones present in the area, she bowed her head towards Daimon.

"As a queen I could always reward you with money, resources, noble tittles and all of that stuff… but as an older sister I will never be able to repay you for saving my little sister, please accept this bow from me, not as a queen but as Annete Delphini, sister who wouldn't have forgotten herself for not arriving on time".

"M-Majesty, please raise your head!", all the nobles saw the queen bowing her head and they didn't know how to react, especially because they noticed Daimon showed little to no reaction about it.

Out of all the people that existed in their planet, the ones who where worthy of receiving a bow from the queen who was also a Half Stellar rank mage, could be counted in the tens, and even among those, there were some who wouldn't dare to accept such a heavy award.

On contrast, in a rare occasion, Horals and Rita both inwardly nodded.

'That's how it should be, queens, empresses, goddesses, all of them should recognize the greatness of young master'.

Mellie approached her sister and helped her sister raise her head, while she stole a gaze at Daimon.

"Sis, I'm not saying I'm ungrateful, but I think we should discuss this in a more private place, we also happen to have a little feud to solve with the son of the Blackfin patriarch…".

"Ahhh, what is this, let me goooo!", as Mellie was speaking about it, a battered figure came flying from the north, in other words from outside of the area that was isolated.

And that was not all, the figure was being chased by a man who had a panic-stricken expression, to everyone's surprise it was none other than the guy from the Blackfin family, the only difference was he now looked miserable.

His black armor was practically destroyed, with just some pieces still attached to his body, his hair was disheveled and he had wounds all over his legs and arms.

With a dull sound, the guy's body landed on the ground at Daimon's feet, before a woman's voice came from Daimon's shadow.

"Young master, I captured this idiot who was camping in a cave waiting to be the "fisher" after we half killed each other, he had plans to harm the young ladies, just say the word and I'll turn him into a pulp~".

The bodyguard of the guy from the Blackfin family felt as if his soul was leaving his body, early he was going to attack all the presents in order to save his young master… until he noticed a familiar figure standing there with a frowned expression.

'It's over, the queen loves her little sister the most, I need to at least get her to spare young master's life', thought the bodyguard, not because he had special loyalty to him, but because his father would kill him if something were to happen to his youngest son.

"Excuse me, the lady in the shadows, you probably misunderstood my young master, if you leave him go, we can still be good friends… otherwise, I'm afraid the Lord Duke won't take this lightly".

The bodyguard betted that at the very least the queen who was the strongest people present, wouldn't side with an outsider, since Daimon didn't even have gills nor any sea beast characteristic right now.

"Aghh!", but to his surprise, he saw a black armored knight suddenly stabbing his young master's left knee, but instead of a bloody scene, the whole leg turned into a dry mummified one.

"How dare you threaten my young master in front me!", the air around Horals started trembling as the ground below his feet cracked, due to the sudden increase in his weight, finally revealing that his attribute is metal.

Even Rita's head peeked out of Daimon's shadow, she glared at the bodyguard and with a wave of her hand, the right arm of the guy from the Blackfin family started retorting, making him scream as the muscles, nerves and bones were tore apart.

"His life now belongs to my young master, what he does with him is none of your business humph".

"What did you say!", the bodyguard trembled due to the anger he was feeling right now, he turned to see the queen and then said.

"My queen, internal affairs must be solved internally, please help my young master".

Annete glared at the bodyguard and then tapped her pretty index finger on her thigh, the next thing the bodyguard knew was that his eardrums exploded.

"Aghh", the bodyguard lost his balance and collapsed on the ground, but he couldn't stay still and instead started rolling on the floor while he screamed.

"Do you think I don't know that little bastards sold my sister so that he could save his skin, a leg and an arm, are nothing in comparison".

Annete then looked at Daimon before saying.

"That being said, I will appreciate if you could allow me to give this trash a better use, the Blackfin Duke who has been acting high and mighty, will become more "cooperative" now… of course I'm not planning on letting him off the hook no matter what, not after what he did".

Daimon's eyes glowed for a second behind the mask, as the voice of the queen directly reached his ears, so that only he could hear her saying.

'The ones who brew the Shark Blood liqueur, are the Blackfin family, with how much the Duke loves his son, I can get you their main ingredient as compensation, also I can give you my word that slowly but surely he'll get what he deserves, the same for those two pirates, what do you say little friend it's a win-win situation?'.

The others, with the only exception of Aisha only saw Daimon nodding, without being aware of the queen's proposal, the Risha sisters on the other hand, had a hunch that it wasn't as simple as that, because they know how protective is towards Aisha… and them too.

They didn't doubt he was going to kill that guy for pushing them into the fire pit, so they were sure, things wouldn't end just like this.

"Thanks for your comprehension, my little sister is right, this is no place to be at this hour, I know this travel is important, but I would like to help you all reach the Warhammer city with my help, there might be more of those pirates lurking in the shadows after all".

The nobles didn't even discuss it, they immediately accepted it, it wasn't a secret among the nobles that the queen had a ring that allowed her to appear at practically all the important cities and places of the kingdom, and they were getting an invitation to experiment it first-hand.

Daimon looked at the girls who were clearly annoyed that all this happened at night, at the next day after they had a good rest at the Sea Dream hotel, this would also save them all the travel and he had some things to discuss with the queen anyway.

"We'll also go".

The queen smiled as she took out a black pouch from her storage ring and handed it to Daimon.

"That's a restraining beast pouch, you can keep that creature there, so it doesn't cause panic at the city".

Daimon nodded, he couldn't store the Mist Horror in the pouch he got for the flying fishes, as its grade only allowed it to accept Lord ranked beasts.

Now that everything was settled, the queen used her mana to imprison the two pirates, and the pair of young master and bodyguard from the Blackfin family, before everyone gathered around twenty meters of the queen, the ground then lit up with an array that originated from a ring she had on her left ring finger, and they all disappeared from the forest.

…

While they were travelling through the dimensional tunnel, Daimon observed his surroundings and the first thing he noticed was that this was an artificial way to travel through the space, meaning that Half Emperors or Half Stellar ranks, as they were known here, from these races, including the tribes, didn't have the ability to use space shift.

'How curious, some don't have mana sense and they also don't have space shift, are they weak… or are those from the Wonder Myriad stellar chart abnormal', he wondered, before a realization hit him like a truck.

'The ancient age', there was a hole in the history of the Wonder Myriad Stellar chart, which might explain why they had these capacities as a norm, but at the same time didn't have one Emperor rank, while they existed in these new places that have been popping out of nowhere lately.

Daimon could feel his heart pumping blood on his veins, and he couldn't help but grin, getting Aisha's attention.

'What happened darling, you seem pretty different since you left that ice dome, not only the hollow suit, but there is a change in you… although I can't pinpoint yet'.

Daimon slightly shook his head before answering.

'It's not that, things are getting interesting, also don't worry I'll help you get "familiar" with the new me later".

"Mm~", Aisha smiled from ear to ear as she heard her son.

Their little exchange went unnoticed by almost all the other people, the only ones who noticed there was something ongoing between them were the Risha sisters, they somewhat saw Daimon just exchanging a gaze with Aisha, and then she smiled as if she has won the lottery or something like that.
