Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
chapter-251-30041322

Once Daimon Arrived at the room where the Risha sisters took Scarlet and the others, he opened the door and saw that they were all resting on a couch, while Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana helped them drink the medicines.

Per Daimon's request, they were fed the pain killers first, because early when he broke the chains, he also noticed they all had some kind of nails in different parts of their bodies.

The first one to be treated was Ruby, luckily, she was still asleep and with the medicine she will stay like that for a couple of hours.

Yvonne removed the bandages on Ruby's legs revealing those strange black nails piercing her shins and calves.

"We tried to take those things out… but they are really deep in the flesh".

Leslie gritted her teeth, as if the chains and the mask wasn't enough, they even recurred to psychological torture, Scarlet told them why their wounds focused in different parts of their bodies.

The reason was that they focused in destroying whatever they enjoyed or were good at, in Ruby's case she liked to dance and that's why Eleazar put those nails on her legs.

"Doing something so cruel to a little girl, those pieces of trash didn't deserve a quick death", she mumbled.

Daimon sighed, in his experience, even those who should be family could be cruel towards you, so what could you expect from strangers, but the fact that there is scum like them, doesn't mean good or at least decent people don't exist.

That was one of the first lessons Aisha taught him, only a coward prey on innocent people, and so despite how much Daimon hated the Naktis, he promised his mother he wouldn't kill anyone who had nothing to do with what happened to them back then.

That was a limit he decided to set for himself, to not point his sword towards those who didn't deserve it, but at the same time he wouldn't show mercy to anyone who had bad intentions towards him or his family.

"You need the strength of a Lord rank, to take these things out, Eleazar put them on himself, after we rejected him in front of all his scum family… including his father and uncle, in other words the King".

Daimon nodded, he approached Ruby and then touched the head of one of the nails, they were made out of a metal which he hasn't heard about, but his metal affinity was high enough to manipulate it.

But as soon as he tried, some kind of gray red flame came out of the nail and tried to burn Daimon's hand.

"That's the flame of the red bone royal family, don't let it touch you, it will only stop burning once it reaches your bones!", said Scarlet in a hurry.

Daimon didn't let go of the nail, the flame was stored with runes that were engraved on the nail, and it attacked him because he was trying to take it out, but if he let go, the flame would attack the one who has the nail, in this case Ruby.

'You like to devour, new variations of elements, right, come on, do your job', Daimon ordered his magic core to devour those flames, and the thing for one reason or another it decided to obey him.

Under the surprised eyes of all the girls, the gray red flames vanished into thin air, even the runes on the nail blinked before they extinguished, leaving the engravings behind but completely cleaned out of any trace of mana left behind.

'It sure is a pain to not have a healing type skill for non-soulmates', thought Daimon as he manipulated the nail to make it the diameter of a needle and completely smooth, the thing had spikes on its shank, so that if pulled out, they would tear the flesh with them.

After doing that, he just took the nail out without any problem, of course that also made Ruby's calf to bleed since the nail was blocking it, but that was easy to solve with a similar ointment to the one he used with Aisha and the others.

'Luckily I had it in my inventory, it would have been way easier with Loren's help too', thought Daimon, now that he learned the trick, removing the other nails from Ruby's legs was easier, there were four in total which he kept in his inventory for investigation, it was a new metal after all, so Liz would probably study it.

"I'll put her new bandages", said Leslie as she carried Ruby to the bed across the room, to finish treating her, so she could rest and leave her body recover with the help of the potion.

The next one was Lapis, the nails she had were in her neck and pierced her vocal cords, because she liked to sing, she was the most talkative among them too, but she only managed to thank Daimon, because speaking made her feel a lot of pain.

Also, the nails she had were way thinner, to the point that their heads could be confused as moles, that being said, the amount of those grey red flames wasn't any less, than the ones Ruby had, but still they were completely dealt with by Daimon's magic core devouring them.

Besides Ruby who was asleep, the others could move by themselves, so Daimon gave Lapis the ointment and she herself applied it where she needed it, the next one was Jade the nails in her body were placed on the soles of her feet.

The reason was that her senses were enhanced, as long as her feet touched the ground, that's why her feet were bare all the time, but she lost that capacity after those nails pierced her soles, for someone like here who was used to have that enhanced perspective during her whole life to suddenly lose it, it was as if someone who could see, suddenly became blind, a torture the families of the four kings learned after having captured one of her predecessors, many generations ago.

So once Daimon removed the nails, it was as if her the color returned to her world, little tears formed on the corner of her eyes, but she wiped them before she turned to see Daimon.

"Thanks", with a single word, she let Liliana help her move to the bed to put the ointment on her soles.

The last ones were Amber and Scarlet, since Scarlet had the nails at different parts of her body, Amber took her turn first.

Hers were on her shoulders, to disable her arms as her race was naturally gifted in physical strength, originally Daimon noticed the nails thanks to her, since the ones in her shoulders were visible through the bandages, because of their size, instead of nails they were more like drill bits.

Daimon had to put more strength into changing their form, due to that, but ultimately once the grey red flames were depleted, manipulating them was pretty easy.

"Crack", a loud sound filled room as Amber accommodated her shoulders which weren't on their correct positions, before she walked towards the bed, leaving the Risha sisters dumbfounded.

Scarlet chuckled at their reactions.

"Terrarians are the toughest in terms of body among our race, even Eleazar had to use some of his strength to make the nails pierce Amber's shoulders".

Daimon nodded, let alone Eleazar, even he had to apply some force to take them out, also so far, she was the only one that didn't bleed after the nails were pulled out.

The last one was Scarlet, she had nails in her knees, thighs, biceps and even tongue, unlike the others, although she was weakened, they didn't prevent her from anything, it was for the sole purpose of causing her pain, because she was the one who insulted Eleazar the most.

She had ten nails piercing her body, out of them, the hardest one to remove was the one in her tongue, but everything turned out fine.

"Rest and recover, the ship is moving towards an specific direction but it will be a couple of days before we arrive, we'll also stop to check on some islands on the way", said Daimon as he left the room.

The Risha sisters followed him not too long after, each one chose their own room and entered it, the battle of earlier left them pretty tired and it was almost 6:00 PM by now.

Daimon took out his own bed from his inventory, the Risha sisters also changed the sheets on the ones they will be using, because no one knew what kind of things had been done on those beds, during the past months.

Daimon threw himself on the bed and as he accommodated the pillow, an envelope fell from within the pillowcase.

"What…", Daimon perfectly recognized the hand writing on the envelope, it was Erin's, there were three things inside of the envelope, first a note.

"Take this so you can remember me if you feel lonely~", there was also a kissing mark at the bottom of the note, and a small side note, "PS, Aura's note is on the backside of mine".

Daimon turned it to see Aura's note, which was a simple "I miss you", short but sweet just like Aura, as for the other two things inside the envelope, they were a couple of photos of Erin and Aura, naked and posing.

As it was clearly Erin's idea, she had her characteristic cunning smile, as for Aura she was pretty embarrassed on it.

"Seriously those two", Daimon couldn't help but laugh, he took a bed from the mansion, and he genuinely didn't remember seeing them leaving this little gift for him.

"Well, she isn't the best strategist on a whole galaxy for nothing", mumbled Daimon, before he closed his eyes and fall asleep without even noticing it.

…

While everyone on Daimon's ship was taking a well-earned rest, at an island some dozens of thousands of kilometers away, a float of forty ships from the four tribes described by Scarlet was having an all-out war with thirty ships led by the creatures.

But that wasn't all, there was also a third faction participating in the battle, which had ships from both of the other two, and was formed by the paladins of the Blue-Sky academy and surprisingly the demons of the Black Grave academy.

They only had about twenty ships, but the other two parties didn't underestimate them, because they had two peak stage Mage Lords, who might have won easily if it wasn't for the fact that the people of the four tribes had four special ships, with cannons that could threat them, because those ships were used by direct descendants of Kings.

As for the creatures, they had their own secret weapon too, two of them had their four limbs and a head, the aura they radiated clearly positioned them at the peak of the Lord realms too.

On one of the human ships, a tall blond haired guy with blue eyes, looked at the gray skinned demon with black hair standing on the ship next to him.

"Once we get rid of these nuisances, it will be your turn Marcus".

"Dream on, Adam".

Darkness and Light clashed as those two glared at each other, while from the captain's cabins of their respective ships, they were observed by the Mage Lords, sent by their respective forces, who were both looking at everywhere as if they were searching for something.

'This is the last hint, soon the truth will be revealed', they both thought.
