Once the Risha sisters were within reach they turned around and showed Daimon their backs, before he placed his hands on them to give them some of his mana, he also inspected their mana circuits to make sure they were alright, the image of the mana circuits of their mothers practically breaking after using their wings still had a big impact on him, though Veronica's medicine healed them, the pain they experienced must be excruciating, imagine a lesion in a nerve but multiplied per ten times in the best-case scenario.

Luckily with a quick scan which he limited to only their backs to not see anything he shouldn't, he noticed that instead of getting brittle or suffer tension, the sets of mana circuits in their backs which were used as the base for their wings, were instead full of vitality.

As if the more they used them, the stronger they were getting, which made sense, they only became able to manifest their wings recently, so they still needed to exercise them, as a proof of that they couldn't fly with them but they were able to levitate for a couple of seconds and slow down their falls.

The three sisters stared at the other and noticed the comfortable expression in each other's faces, but decided to remain silent and just enjoy the moment.

While Daimon shared some mana with those three, he also looked at the remaining battlefield, where Miserius had become fiercer, he abandoned all defense and just focused on killing Mellie.

That's right, after realizing he wasn't going to be able to land a hit on Aisha because her speed was overwhelming, not to mention her attacks which generated thunders once they impacted him, which were then used by Mellie to double the sonic shockwave essentially sending him flying no matter how much he fought back, the Skelefiend suddenly leaked an insane amount of acid mana.

Which he then absorbed and released upon Mellie from above.

"Go to hell bitch!", the Skelefiend hysterically laughed, he endured those heavy kicks and punches as well as the sound shockwaves which combined had destroyed a lot of his enhanced bones, just to directly kill Jasmine because at this point, he didn't care about anything else, he wanted to stop Aisha from one-shooting him with an even stronger version of that spell.

A green cloud condensed in less than a second above Mellie before a green thick rain showered her, releasing a hissing sound due to the toxicity of the liquid, it was the same spell used by the Skelefiend Feller earlier, speaking about him he was among those who Liliana froze with her attack and was ultimately shattered into pieces, along with the rest of his subordinates which were melted by Leslie's fire.

But then Miserius eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, the green rain which still hadn't stopped was separated, as a white translucid cube emerged from within it.

"Light Fortress", Jasmine calmly stood there as her spell shielded her from the acid rain, which was still falling on her.

The Skelefiend gritted his teeth and in a last try, he took some impulse and threw his weapon, which was a green trident towards her.

The idea had some merit, Jasmine's spell could withstand a peak Lord ranked attacks for thirty minutes, or the ones of an early Arch rank for one minute, it could only be used once a day and the one which would receive its protection must be facing a life threatening danger for the spell to be casted, the downside to it is that it's an stationary spell, meaning she can't move while being inside of the fortress, it's a last resort type of spell after all.

That didn't mean it couldn't be broken with brute force, the protection could be worn out by constant attacks, and that's what Miserius was trying to do, unfortunately for him, this time Jasmine wasn't alone.

"Sea Current Serenade ♫", Mellie's mellow voice echoed through the battlefield, she used her bow to play the strings of her fiddle, and a stream of vibrations was shot from her instrument towards the black trident.

Though Mellie's attack wasn't strong enough to knock down the trident, it forced it to change it's direction, so it completely missed Jasmine, thus destroying his last hope, especially because Jasmine finished casting her spell at the same time.

"Silver Spear", by Jasmine's command a silver spear's image appeared behind Aisha, who appeared in a flash right next to Miserius, with her pretty index finger pointed at him,

'Count yourself lucky Skelefiend', thought Aisha as both metal and lightning mana gathered at the tip of her finger, before a ray of silver light was shot from it, it would be more accurate to call it a silver flash because that's everything anyone saw, one whose area covered a diameter of about two meter.

Aisha's attacks were already really hard to follow up, now imagine what happened when that attack's speed was tripled thanks to Jasmine's spell.

Before Miserius could even blink to protect his eyes from getting burned due to the silver flash, his arms and everything below his waist disappeared.

"Boooom", and that wasn't all, everything in a one hundred meters range behind Miserius exploded, leaving a smoking crater whose bottom couldn't be seen from above.

"Aghhhh!", the attack was so fast that Miserius's brain only registered what happened almost a second later, his now limbless body fell to the ground, and though the wounds were cauterized due to the high heat contained in the ray of silver light, he couldn't help but scream due to the exposition to such a extremely positive element like lightning.

Also strong silver-purple currents of electricity ran through his body, making him retort on the ground, his enhancement was cancelled as the symbols were destroyed by Aisha's lightning, and then Miserius an Arch peak Lord ranked from such a bloodthirsty race as the Skelefiends, foamed from his mouth before he fainted due to pain.

Aisha snapped her fingers and the lightning stopped assaulting Miserius's body, previously when the battle started Daimon her to not kill the Skelefiend, because he had some questions to do to, he could have easily destroyed Miserius using his White Heavenly Javeline, since Demon Light was the bane of any negative nature being.

Not to mention their enhancement didn't work as supposed against him, in comparison he already had pirate hostages, and the idea of killing Lucas didn't cause any reaction in his sixth sense, so he went ahead and left the Skelefiend to his mother, while he fought Lucas.

Just as the fight ended, Aisha saw her son as well as the Risha sisters and Karmandi's subordinates approaching them, and she giggled noticing the still flushed faces of those three.

"And here I was wondering how come you haven't finished your battle yet, turns out you were taking a sweet moment to "rest"~", she said with a playful voice.

Daimon chuckled, but the Risha sisters bit the bullet and didn't let Aisha's words affect them… too much.

"Ahem, we just used too much mana so a rest was needed", shily answered Leslie.

"Mm, those guys were trash but they outnumbered us", added Yvonne.

"…", Liliana remained silent, but she agreed with her sisters in using that as their excuse.

"Boooom!", a sudden explosion drew everyone's attention as the battered bodies of the two Bottom Shredders landed a few meters away from Daimon and the girls, the things were covered in chemical burns and their bones were visible at some parts, they were practically sacks of ones with skin attached to them, it was surprising that they were still alive.

At the same time the ground trembled and Neal came from within underground, with Karmandi still in his small form sitting on the centipede's head.

It was worth mentioning that Neal had deep cut marks at many parts of its body, result of the claws of the Bottom Shredders after they used their enhanced forms, which allowed them to equal or maybe even slightly surpass him, his life would have been in danger if not for Karmandi lending him a hand in the shadows.

Karmandi suppressed the Bottom Shredders with his mana pressure and then Neal used his best spell, which melted a large part of the forest nearby due to a river of poison that was created by him, but didn't last enough to cause other people's troubles.

"Neal told me you have a use for these guys, so I brought them barely alive, do with them as you please… I was able to confirm that all the ones who had rationality in other words those at the early stage of the peak Mortal level and above betrayed the Empress by their own will", said Karmandi with a resented voice.

Daimon nodded in other words, all the Arch ranks of the Bottom Shredder race decided to stab their benefactor in the back for some benefits as they weren't just wild beasts anymore, as for the Lord ranks and below some followed them due personal loyalty, and the rest were enslaved for investigation purposes.

With some gestures, Daimon asked the turtle to freeze the prisoners and transport them over its shell, that's why he brought a seventh magic beast with them anyway.

After doing that, they walked towards the area where the first princess and the maid Chris as well as the three paralyzed girls, were being guarded by two of Karmandi's subordinates.

Speaking of Chris she had a troubled expression right now, the battle she witnessed a moment ago, was completely out of proportions for people of the younger generation, it was a slaughter, something normally only the army gets to see, there were dismembered bodies, and corpses all over the battlefield.

Daimon's eyes glowed as he looked at the three paralyzed girls, before he turned to see Chris.

"What kind of poison were they injected?", he asked.

"Before they it took effect, they told me it's bone softening poison, something the pirates use for… their disgusting hobbies, those below the middle stage of the middle Mortal level who are infected with it can't move their bodies no matter what, for the next twelve hours at least".

Daimon nodded as he approached them while he took out something from his pocket, but then Chris's face paled as she saw Daimon throwing a wisp of those terrifying flames at the three paralyzed maids.

"What are you doing!", she exclaimed as she got up ready to fight with her life at the stake for her friends… but the next events that unfolded made her words stuck on her throat.

"Fucking psycho!", the girl in the middle which was called Amira suddenly jumped to avoid the whisp of white flames that was about to land on her a moment ago.

The flame then changed its direction and the other girls Nadia and Pamela also suddenly regained their mobility.

"You three can move", mumbled Chris with an interrogating voice.

Nadia immediately answered.

"Yeah, the part of the arrows that pierced our skin didn't have poison, though the rest of it had, we were waiting for the pirates to approach us to… take at least one of them down with us, maybe like that we would have given time to the young miss to escape".

The last girl Pamela nodded, but then she looked at Daimon as if she was looking at a madman.

"The battle just ended so we were still on hold, until that crazy guy tried to kill us!".

Chris let out a sigh of relief, she took one of the arrows which was piercing Pamela's leg earlier, until she removed it and was able to confirm that she was saying the truth, the tip of the arrow's head didn't have poison, just one of the borders, which was understandable as pirates weren't exactly a responsible bunch, the guy in charge of doing it probably just slacked and halfway did his job.

"Clap, Clap, Clap", Daimon clapping his hands made everyone's attention fall on him.

"I'll admit it, the guy behind all this sure is a hell of a schemer, what a shame these tricks don't work on me".

Daimon nodded at Karmandi, and the snake general let out some of his pressure.

Needless to say but the pressure of a Half Emperor magic beast made the three maids to collapse on the ground, with a suffocating sensation pressing on their chests.

"Even I would have been inclined to believe you, if it wasn't for the antidote you took prior to being hit by the arrows", said Daimon as he walked towards the maids.

"What antidote, you bastard, check our pockets we can't even take out anything from your rings!", shouted Amira.

Chris and also Daphne glared at Daimon, they didn't want to doubt him, but it was their friends the ones being accused here, people with which they grew since they were practically babies.

Daimon crouched down behind Amira, and the maid freaked out, with a frightened expression she cried to the first princess.

"Young miss run; this guy is just like the pirates!".

Daimon snorted in response.

"You three traitors together can't compare to one of my companions, why would I want to have anything to do with an ugly bitch with a black heart", he said as he took off Amira's left shoe and turned it upside down.

"If you aren't lying then what is this?".

"Ting", a little crystal tube with a needle at one of its ends fell from within the shoe, Daimon then threw it at Chris so she could show it to Daphne since she was unable to move due to how exhausted she was.
