Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

With a wave of her hand, Liliana moved the two pirates whose bodies were frozen to a corner of the cave which was hard to spot, before Daimon casted dark curtain around them.

"Well, that should be enough, unless they are really unlucky", mumbled Leslie.

"So, how do we deal with the guy outside", asked Yvonne.

The one in charge of the pirate's team, who is a middle stage Lord rank, someone who has solidified its power in the Lord realm, instead of the recently ascended.

"Judging by how easy was to deal with those guys, their captain shouldn't be able to use "Manifestation", but maybe according to the bandana pirate he has mana sense, so it's going to be harder to ambush him", added Liliana.

"Manifestation?", asked Mellie confused.

"Ah, right you probably know it under a different name, it's the phenomenon caused by the increase in the domain over an element a mage gets after reaching the Lord rank", said Leslie with her usual enthusiastic voice.

Now it was the turn for Daimon and the girls to be surprised, at Mellie's confused expression to be more specific.

"I haven't heard of anything like that before?", said Mellie noticing that her reaction wasn't what Daimon and the others expected.

"Wait, really, then you guys don't have domains or the capacity to travel through dimensional tunnels without the assistance of a magic array either?", asked Yvonne.

Mellie's pretty blue eyes widened a bit, before she said.

"I haven't heard about what a domain might be, but uncle Vincent can do that thing of travelling through dimensional tunnels without the help of a magic array… please don't mention it to anyone, only mom and me know about it".

"Only the Trident Marshal can do it?", asked Daimon.

But Mellie shook her head in response.

"There are others, but it is treated as a secured treasure, basically it's dissuasion, if other families don't know who has it, then everyone can be kept in check… honestly even I don't know if my sister can do it, but the king has admitted to have that ability".

Daimon nodded, he remembers they had mentioned something like that, apparently, they were referring to the king, and although he was quite surprised that some people actually had the ability to use space shift, but no one had a domain, or at least no according to Mellie's knowledge.

"I guess that's something we can discuss with the queen later, for now, let's deal with the guy outside, our time is almost up, we'll go with a classic tactic, I'll be the frontline and you contain him from the sides".

"Mm", the girls nodded in response, Mellie saw Daimon getting rid of a magic beast stronger than the guy they were about to face, and she can always boost herself to the middle Lord realm by using her innate ability anyway.

Daimon and the girls walked towards the exit of the cave, once he was sure they were all perfectly covered by the dark curtain, Daimon silently opened a breach on the wall with an earth spell.

They left the cave and the girls positioned themselves around the perimeter, while Daimon walked towards the bonfire where the team leader of the pirates was still siting, with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Ah, damn it, what is taking those fools so long!", shouted the man, it was clear he was quite frustrated, and he was also drinking something from a bottle.

Probably because Blackface reminded him about his brother whose fate was unknown, well not that unknown because up close Daimon could tell he had some resemblance with one of the surviving pirates, from that time.

The man stood up but as he was about to walk to the cave, he saw a masked silver haired youth standing there with a black sword in his hands.

"You, I remember you are with the group of the younger sister of the queen… what are you doing here, a mere early level Mortal wants to fight me?".

Daimon grinned, he simply pointed his index finger at the man and a line of black light was shot from it.

Travis's survival instincts screamed taking him out of his drunk daze.

"What the hell!", the pirate managed to grab a green harpoon from the ground next to him, just in time to block that strange spell that was coming towards him.

"Crack!", or so he thought, although it was just a small chip, his weapon's blade shattered and he was pushed back due to the impact.

More than what he expected, his body literally was sent flying and crashed against a rock a few dozens of meters away.

But of course, that wasn't enough to take the guy down, he jumped frontwards until he was a few meters away from Daimon.

"A spoiled brat from a noble family wouldn't have attacked out of nowhere without announcing his glorious family's last name, so that means you are someone who doesn't care about that nonsense, so my guess is that you are a man of the queen instead".

Daimon raised an eyebrow behind the mask, but he still decided to follow the act.

"To a certain extent, you could say so, what does it matter to a pirate, your plan is still to capture the women related to the royals anyway?", asked Daimon.

Then to everyone's surprise, the man dropped the harpoon and then raised his hands before saying.

"I have a valuable piece of information which I'm willing to exchange for the freedom of my brother, let me contact the queen and the information is yours".

Daimon frowned.

"In case you forgot, communications don't work right now, if you are trying to stall, I have to say you are more of a disappointment than what I expected", along with Daimon's word, he also pointed at him while black lightning gathered on the tip of his fingers.

But then the next words of the pirate gave the whole situation a new turn.

"This information is about someone in your kingdom cooperating with us, so I think it's worth enough to exchange for brother's life, and it is also enough to give someone enough merits to get a pretty decent noble title too".

Daimon chuckled, the noble title of a kingdom in which he wasn't going to live was useless, but the first part of the information, he had a hunch that it would help him with his own agenda, the special mission to be more exact.

"Let's say that I believe you, why should I trust you, when you are practically done and I have already secured two sources of pretty decent information?".

The pirate looked at his surroundings trying to find others, but he was unable to, at least until he heard a girl's voice in the air.

"That information, is it related as to why you pirates want to capture us?", asked Mellie.

The pirate doubted for a moment, if he talked right now then that meant he was already a traitor, so there would be no turning back for him.

But ultimately, the image of his brother being tortured or something worse crossed his mind, and he decided to give Daimon and the others a little proof that what he offered was worth it.

"I'm just going to take something out of my pocket okay, stored spells don't work right now anyway", said the pirate as he looked at Daimon.

Daimon nodded without cancelling his spell, just in case.

The pirate then took out a piece of red cloth, in fact the cloth was dripping and considering the color and the iron smell coming from it, it was blood.

Not only that, the cloth had a very peculiar pattern, one that Daimon has seen before… in the badge that is now being stored in his inventory, the one he found hidden in the flesh of the corpse inside the cave.

"This cloth was used to… drain the blood from the youngest son of the Skelefiend Horrorclaw, in other words the current ruler of the bone sea, I'll just say that the captain of the Stingray Devil pirates has been acting pretty weird and then he discarded this, after a quick meeting with the Skelefiends, from whose son left with a missing arm, and there was someone from the Mermen Sea with them too".

Daimon turned to see Mellie, mainly because he didn't know if the queen had already disposed of the pirates, or if they were being interrogated as of right now.

"Very well, your offer has been accepted… now get in the cave", said Mellie.

The pirate let out a sigh of relief, as he handed Daimon his storage ring, weapon and all other accessories as a sign of good will.

The pirate pacifically entered the cave and after being surprised to see the bandana and scarred face pirate still alive, he joined them in the little ice prison Liliana had built for the occasion, of course he gave them some information free of charge, like the approximate area which some teams are supervising.

As they were leaving the cave, the pirate said something that made Daimon contemplate things once again.

"Hey, you are the bodyguard of the princess right… be careful with the captain or anyone directly related to him, he has changed a lot recently, originally he was violent but that's normal on a pirate, but now, he is just a monster in human skin, if you kill them make sure there is nothing left of them".

Once outside of the cave, which Daimon covered with more earth to make sure no one find it.

"North has the less teams and is closer to the exit of this place, so it's going to be crowed there, what you think about the west?", asked Daimon.

According to the information Travis gave them the exit was the most custodied, but the west was the territory with less pirates, not by choice but because there were some troublesome magic beasts residing there.

"Sounds good to me, besides some allies would come in handy", said Daimon with a smirk as he gazed at the beast pouch were Blacktooth is being held.

With that said, Daimon and the girls started walking towards their next stop which was about sixty kilometers towards the west.

But by the time they arrived the hunt of the pirates had already given some results; the girl's faces paled a bit at the scene of slaughter left.

There were pieces of bodies spread across the whole place, but curiously or not considering the reputation of pirates, all the corpses belonged to males.

"This is not how pirates work, they enjoy partying and toying with their victims, as bad as it might sound, I expected to see them… doing other things to the female nobles, not just taking them away after raining hell down on the others", said Mellie with a little disgust on her face.

"Mm?", Daimon suddenly saw some small movements on a pile of dismembered bodies.
