Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

This time Daimon didn't dream, he properly rested and a few hours later, he was slightly shaken by Aisha.

"Mm", Daimon's eyes opened, the illumination made him understand that the sun had already settled down.

"What time is it?", asked Daimon as he rubbed his eyes, the other girls were sitting or laying down on the bed, each doing their own thing, the Risha sisters were reading books while the princesses were playing some kind of board game together.

"Aisha, it's your tu exclaimed Mellie.

Daimon chuckled, apparently the girls got in friendlier terms while he was sleeping, he was woken up from his daze after Aisha answered him.

"It's 8:00 PM darling, the dinner will be served in half an hour according to the guards that are taking rounds through the mansion".

Daimon nodded, he felt really refreshed right now, his stamina had fully recovered, it also helped that it was night and his base race was vampire, so he felt like a fish in the sea.

He jumped out of the bed and went to the bathroom.

'I'll take a quick shower mom', he said directly to Aisha.

The girls saw it and they turned to see Aisha, normally she always enters with Daimon, which is a subject that came up when they were talking earlier.

"What is it that weird that I don't accompany him, you can enter yourselves if you want to~", jokingly said Aisha to the sisters.

Inside of the bathroom, Daimon undressed and jumped into the shower, but then he remembered something and looked downwards, just to see his shadow distorting just a bit, but that was enough for Daimon to notice Rita had already woken up.

"Rita, if you are awake, go and stay in Aisha's shadow", said Daimon.

Horals had returned to the Wonder Myriad Stellar Chart, he send him back to secretly inform Erin and Aura about everything what happened and to tell them to prepare, because he didn't know what will happen after the thing with the global raid.

"I still need more rest in young master's shadow to recover after using Doll House… can I stay?", mumbled Rita.

Daimon raised an eyebrow, since she gained intelligence, she seemed to get scenic panic, according to her, she recovers her mana faster in his shadow and so here favorite place to be was Daimon's shadow, of course she knew when not to go into it, which was basically when her young master spends his time with her young misses.

She was asleep when Daimon had some fun with Aisha in the bathroom, but she woke up when he was sleeping earlier, but still tried to feign to be asleep so he didn't tell her to leave his shadow where she was comfortable.

Ultimately he didn't have the heart to tell Rita to leave, she overstepped her limits to trap a Half Stellar rank for him after all, he already rewarded Horals giving him the spear, so he just shrugged and nodded.

"Fine, rest as much as you need but stay in alert, in case someone tries to sneak in the room".

Within Daimon's shadow, Rita smiled as she said.

"Thanks, young master~".

Daimon then took a quick shower and changed into casual clothes and changed to Gabriel's disguise, he only showed his real appearance to the people that is in an alliance with him, because no one knows if any of Vincent's subordinates is an spy, there were infiltrated people in the group of the first princess, so it wouldn't be weird if that was the case.

He came out of the bathroom, the girls were ready, the sisters and Aisha also wore their disguises and then they left the room.

By the time they arrived the maids were already standing in the dining room waiting for them, none of the adults was here as they all had their own thing to tend to outside of the mansion, well it's not exactly true, since Thea was sleeping hugging a bottle, while her generals were handing some errands.

As soon as they sat down, the maids brought the dishes and then retired to give them some privacy.

…

After enjoying their dinner, they returned to the room.

"Phew, camping isn't my thing~", mumbled Leslie as she threw herself on the bed, Daimon's bed to be exact.

Her sisters joined her and before they noticed the three were sleeping, time flew for them since they were too engrossed talking with each other.

It didn't escape the princesses's eyes that the sisters were laying down on Daimon's bed, but they didn't say anything and got on their own, it was getting late so they also went to sleep.

Aisha also joined the sisters, she stayed awake to take care of her son while he was asleep so now, she needed to rest too.

Daimon caressed Aisha's face a couple of times and then went to sit on a desk that was placed at one of the corners of the room, he dimmed down the lights so the girls could rest and he took out the book Vincent handed him.

'Low ranked vampires are nocturne, now that I think about it the nights at the castle of the Naktis used to be more energetic than the days', thought Daimon, he was a day walker thanks to Aisha's lineage, so he was closer to humans in daily routine, heck he didn't even feel the need to drink blood back then and could obtain nutrients from normal food.

Daimon opened the book and started reading the entries, he immediately noticed that the first pages were added when Vincent was quite young, based on the dates mentioned there.

Just like the Trident Marshal mentioned, most of the things in the book were notes from Vincent and Aurora's young days when they looked for the emblems.

"Damn… it took the old man one hundred years to finally found the other half of his emblem, and another two thousand years to complete his task, and it's a low ranked emblem", mumbled Daimon.

He took out his emblem from his pocket and inspected it, he didn't face a trial hard enough to justify it being a high ranked emblem, the thing guided him to the entrance of the second layer, protected him in the dimensional tunnel from whatever where the creatures that tried to attack him.

A realization hit Daimon like a bolt out of the blue.

"Was that your ability, negate life threatening attacks?", wondered Daimon, the amount of mana it has absorbed, would be justified if that was the case, he also thought it was like that because the emblem didn't react when in the underwater space, on the other hand then why it didn't act when Sting tried to capture them.

'Was it because it lacked mana to work', he wondered.

'Young master…', Rita's voice interrupted Daimon's thoughts, but Daimon just nodded, he closed the book and then stood up from his chair.

'Time to work', he thought as he opened the door and left the room, not without letting a dome of Demon Light to cover the girls who were still sleeping.

As soon as Daimon was out of the room, he noticed two things, first the lights of the hall went off on him, second there was an eerie atmosphere filling the area, it was as if invisible hands were moving in the darkness.

Daimon smirked, for the first time since they came to this magic ruin, he let out the aura of his overlord pride leak out of his body on purpose, his shadow extended all the way from where he was standing to the end of the corridor.

He looked upwards and saw two black robed figures walking on all fours on the ceiling, a scene that seemed to come out of a terror film back at earth, unfortunately for them, the one who caused others to suffer was him, not the other way around.

The two figures let go of the ceiling and fell one in front of Daimon and the other behind him, blocking his way of retreat, now that he looked at them close up, he realized they were humans just using some disguises.

"Why are you using those robes, you are one of the guards and a maid, I wonder why was my food the only one poisoned, when you had the three princesses to target?", asked Daimon rhetorically.

The two figures trembled unconsciously, making Daimon smirk, the poison used in his food was colorless and odorless, even the energy firm was too thin to normally be seen, as the ingredients in the food had strong remaining mana due to the high ranked ingredients used.

Unfortunately for them, his infinity eyes noticed there were some differences between his plate and the ones of the girls, and the food was the same, he purposely was the first to take a bite of the food and got a message from the system, poison was useless against him, because his metabolism as an apex predator is insane.

And from that moment onwards he observed the staff, but to his surprise he didn't notice any difference, so he knew he was dealing with professionals.

"So now, who sent you, I pissed off a lot of people lately, maybe one of the nobles who lost someone for being a weakling… nah they don't have the guts to mess up with the Trident Marshal, so the options are the royals or that Blackfin Duke guy", said Daimon.

The two figures didn't answer, they became flashes and extended their hands towards Daimon, the woman was aiming to slice Daimon's throat, clearly trying to silence him, but the guy was trying to capture him.

Daimon shook his head, and then the two figures stopped midair, they tried to fight but soon realized they couldn't move, even their tongues were paralyzed to prevent them from taking their own lives.

Daimon waved his hand and the two figures were brought in front of him, he teared the robes away to see who were his attackers, but they were just a random guard and maid, they weren't the ones directly ordered by Vincent.

"Mm?", Daimon suddenly saw the female figure being dragged into the shadows, before the sounds of bones being crushed and muffled screams could be heard coming from it.

'Rita?', asked Daimon.

'That woman's knife was smeared in a deathly poison, she deserved to die", angrily said Rita.

Daimon looked at the guard whose face was pale, and then threw the knife of the now dead woman at a corner of the ceiling, while being cladded in Demon Light, destroying the array that they set up.

The darkness that covered the hall disappeared, Aisha then opened the door of the room, she woke up the moment her son moved towards the door, but stayed behind to look for the other girls, just in case.

"Oh, an assassin disguised as a guard, the usual I would say", boringly said Aisha, she survived many attempts like this when she was little, though her grandmother protected her every time.

"Yeah, but they aren't from the pirates nor the Skelefiends, they were sent by a noble if you ask me, using that as a cover, the other tried to kill me but this guy just wanted to capture me, so he deserves a chance to "explain" I guess".

Daimon glared at the guy who was still suspended in the air, though now the black threads that came from Daimon's shadow were visible, a cold pair of eyes could be seen in Daimon's shadow, making the guy tremble.

'What "he is just a random guy who abused his luck", this aura surpasses a lot of the seniors, he is a monster!', he yelled in his heart.

Daimon then walked towards the room next to his, but to the guy's surprise he just sat on a chair, but then a green vortex opened on the air, from which a black armored knight came out.

The knight kneeled down in front of the silver haired youth and placed his right hand on his chest, before saying.

"Horals's, listens to young master's call, what can I do for you!", he shouted.

Daimon pointed at the guy.

"I want to know every bit of information that guy has, if he cooperates let him keep all his limbs, if not… do as you please".

The bone general felt a thrill running through his body, he took out his notebook and leafed through it, until he was at the middle, he then dragged the guy to the bathroom while happily humming.

Rita sighed from Daimon's shadow.

"That bonehead is a sadist", she mumbled.

Daimon's eyebrow trembled a bit, she just crushed someone to death and she called Horals a sadist.

'Well, they were undead originally, the common sense of a living being obviously doesn't go along with their nature', said Evangeline.

Daimon nodded, he took out Vincent's book and continued reading, waiting for Horals to get the answers he wanted, which took less than what he expected, not even thirty seconds later, a bored Horals dragged the guy by his neck and threw him at Daimon's feet.

"He claims to have been tricked, his mission was just to gather information, but his assigned partner secretly accepted an assassination task, I was going to rip his arm off, but he offered to willingly give all the information he has in exchange to keep his life", said Horals, with a bored voice, as if someone had spoiled his fun.

The guy trembled feeling Horals's intense gaze, he kneeled down in front of Daimon and shouted.

"I-It's true, I'm just a middle stage, middle level mortal realm, my task was just to gather information on any guests the Trident Marshal had since the past five days onwards!".

Daimon frowned, that was strangely specific and it happened to be the same date, where he stayed in the mansion of the queen.

"I guess we have a winner", mumbled Daimon, getting an idea of who sent someone to spy on them.
