Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

While Daimon kept explaining his plan to the others, at a different place of the underwater space, there was a turmoil ongoing.

The pirate, a tall black-haired guy who seemed to be in his late twenties, was livid right now.

"What the hell do you mean with "we lost them", you bastards, sent more squads, turn the whole place upside down if needed, if we don't get anything out of this mission your heads will roll!", shouted Ellemy to his subordinates, the pressure of an early-stage Arch rank leaked out of his body making the others tremble.

"You pirates are useless, I told lord Horrorclaw to convince that Lord to just send us, but of course that captain of yours used some underhanded methods to gain his favor, so you got a spot in this mission", said a tall man, at first sight you would believe it's a normal human instead of a Skelefiend… if not for the fact that his sclera is black and his skin is really pale, unhealthy like that of an undead, also his teeth were black instead of white and he had green hair.

"Humph, you can brag as much as you want Tiberius, but weren't your side the ones that lost track of the guy that Lord personally asked you all to get rid of, not to mention the little princess of the Light Palace", snorted the pirate.

"What did you say!", the eyes of the Skelefiend lit up in black light as his pressure which was limited to the peak of the Arch rank, but was heavier than that, spread across the whole area.

The pirate though weaker didn't show any fear, he snapped his fingers and two mana pressures which separated were weaker than the one of the Skelefiend, but together were enough to match up to him, countered Tiberius's mana pressure.

It came from two magic beasts that were standing behind the pirate, at first sight they looked like Bottom Shredders, but instead of their big frame and the usually fierce gaze, these two were only about two meters height, and their eyes shone with rationality, also their bodies were thinner and more human-like, they were the king and queen of the Bottom Shredder races, and two former sub-generals of the Black Empress who took their whole race with them at the moment of their betrayal.

The pressures clashed and the result made both the weaker pirates and Skelefiends pale, Tiberius suddenly frowned as a wary expression appeared on his face.

Originally only the king of the Bottom Shredder race was at the peak of the Arch rank, the queen was at the middle stage, but now both of them were peak Arch ranks, and the king has gotten closer to take a step into the Stellar rank.

'Fucking sea beasts… just you wait, once we get what that Lord requested, our Skelefiend race will conquer the whole planet', thought Tiberius as he snorted and slowly retracted his mana pressure.

"Enough, right now we need to find those little princesses, Garret!", shouted Tiberius.

Another Skelefiend who also had a complete flesh body, though it was only a peak Lord ranked, approached Tiberius.

"Garret greets Lord general".

Tiberius pointed at a cage which was a few meters away from them and then said.

"Go see how far did the previous batch of "bait" managed to reach, and then release another group, one of those three bitches should come to us after seeing it".

Garret sinisterly smiled and then bowed his head.

"Yes, my general!".

The Skelefiend then walked towards the cage, where some male nobles from both the Mermen and Elemental Seas were imprisoned".

The male nobles paled upon seeing the Skelefiend, every time one of them approached the cage, someone was bound to suffer, and this time it wasn't different.

"No wait, I'm the second son of the marquis… aghhh!".

Even the shorter Skelefiend was about 1.8 meters height, so in comparison with the nobles of the younger generation they were taller and bulkier.

Garret grabbed a noble from his neck and then with a punch he broke the legs of the noble before he threw him out of the cage, the other nobles who had terrified expressions had two different reactions.

Some of them retreated to the other side of the cage, while a couple tried to escape from the cage.

Garret sadistically laughed and then with a wave of his hand, he teared the legs of the two nobles that tried to escape.

"Kyaaaa!", there was a second cage at near to the one of the male nobles where the female nobles were kept, the bloody scene was a too much for most of them, some couldn't resist and puked while others lost any strength on their legs and collapsed in shock.

The other male nobles were happy to have survived this round of selection but at the same time they were frustrated since they were the next on the chopping board.

Garret licked his lips as he saw the cage where the girls were kept, but he didn't say anything and then dragged the three wounded nobles from their legs as he walked away from this place, leaving a bloody trace behind of him.

Still not all the nobles were cowards, there were a few who among the girls who helped the others to recover and comforted the ones that broke down to cry after witnessing a such a bloody scene for the first time in their lives.

"Calm down, lady Jasmine will never abandon others, we'll make it out of here alive", said a slim girl with green hair, and the emblem of the Bamboo Forest sect on the sleeve of her blouse, with a gentle expression on her face as she helped a couple of girls to get up from the ground.

"Sniff… do you really think she will come?", asked a young girl from the Mermen Sea.

A girl with fan-like fin ears slightly similar to Mellie's nodded with a firm expression.

"The first princess and young miss Delphini won't abandon us either, they must be looking for a way to contact Lord Trident Marshal, once they do it, these monsters will pay for what they have done".

The girls somewhat recovered their composure and stopped crying, Mellie might not have too much of a public image besides she appearing with the queen from time to time, but Daphne had pretty known to be really protective of the subjects of the Clear Water kingdom, because she is the first princess.

"How adorable, you women still believe someone will be coming to rescue you, you both Mermen and Elemental Sea habitants got too cocky, if those girls come, we will capture them, but don't worry, none of you will be leaving so you will be able to spend your last hours with your idols kekeke".

Tiberius sinisterly laughed as he approached the cage of the female nobles, his eyes specially focused on the noble girls that haven't given up yet, though he didn't know who they were, he supposed they had some relation to the princesses and that was good for his plans.

…

While Tiberius was bullying the nobles, Garret who was flying while he carried the three wounded nobles by their legs, descended as he saw some corpses floating on puddles of blood.

They belonged to both people from the Mermen and Elemental Seas, of different noble houses or sects, but they all had something in common, their legs were broken, crushed or simply were missing.

And judging by the red traces left behind by those now corpses, they had been crawling for a long distance, until they fainted and died due to blood loss.

"Oh, these batch of bait got a bit further than the previous one, whatever it's your turn, start advancing, and shout for those princesses to come and save you, if you are lucky enough you might live kekeke", said Tiberius with a sarcastic voice.

The nobles gritted their teeth, they who had lived in luxury, respected by others and rubbing shoulders with the crème of the crop of the kingdom, were now reduced to laughing stock for the Skelefiends.

That being said they had no choice but to oblige, because Garret threatened to kill them if they didn't obey.

Garret was laughing at the nobles when suddenly a cold voice made him feel a shiver running down his spine.

"You Skelefiends are really disgusting".

"Mm?", Garret's pupils contracted like needles, out of nowhere a few figures appeared on his field of vision.

There were seven girls and a tall fully armored guy.

Garret was beyond words right now, he then smiled from ear to ear, two of the girls were the princesses that the pirates were targeting, and the other seven were top quality beauties.

"Ah, thanks to Snakele, this must be I Garret's lucky day", mumbled Garret as he pounced towards Mellie and Daphne, first things first, he had to capture the princesses, though he couldn't lay a finger on them if he wanted to live, with them as hostages he could do what he wanted with the others.

But then, the next thing he knew was that a water blade severed his legs, including part of his true body which was a skeleton.

His eyes followed the origin of that attack all the way to the fully armored man and the last thing he managed to think before he fainted was.

'H-Half Stellar rank!'.

Daphne looked at Chris and then pointed at the nobles who were still on the ground and the maid went to them to give them first aid, though she didn't have medicines to waste on them because the ones Daimon gave them were reserved in case Daphne needed them, she still had some non-essential ones, to stop the bleeding which was the biggest problem right now.

Needless to say but the nobles were at the verge of crying right now, in their eyes Chris and the first princess were like life-saving beautiful angels.

"P-Princess, thanks for saving us", said two of the guys who were being attended by Chris, but the third one had a twisted expression.

"If you two wouldn't have come we wouldn't have had to suffer like this, my brother was killed by those bastards because of you!", he shouted with a resentful voice.

Mellie and Daphne stared at each other, and they saw some guilt in the eyes of the other, but then Aisha's voice woke them out of their daze.

"Let's go, we have no time to waste here".

The two princesses wanted to say something, but the Risha sisters interrupted them.

"Gabriel is counting on us", said Yvonne.

The two princesses nodded and then they started walking while the fully armored man dragged the half-dead Skelefiend by his neck.

The third guy saw that the other two were treated so they wouldn't die while he was ignored and he lost his previous bravado.

"Where are you going, cure me first!", he demanded.

But the only thing he got, was Chris's cold voice, insulting him.

"Didn't you wish we weren't here, then you don't need our help, go and find someone who is willing to give you precious medicines while hot having access to a storage ring, humph".

The noble paled , he tried to held onto Chris's leg, but she quickly followed the others leaving them behind.

Aisha saw that the two princesses were still a bit hesitant about leaving that guy who in their opinion was indeed affected by the pirates and Skelefiends hunting them down, and she patted their shoulders before saying.

"Cowards can't choose the way they die, even if it didn't happen today, someone that only blames others is bound to get killed on their first real fight".

Aisha is someone who has survived her fair share of life and death situations, assassination tries and the like, and she knows by experience that instead of blaming others, if you want to survive then you have to grit your teeth and strive forward.

"Mm", ultimately Mellie and Daphne nodded, they had more important things to tend to right now, for Daimon's plan to work they needed to provoke their enemies enough, so that they would get careless.

"Seriously where did he learn how to scheme, it's a bit scary", mumbled Mellie as she gazed at the fully armored guy walking next to them.

The Risha sisters whose mothers idolized the trio of mother and daughters of the Revy family, giggled.

'That's to be expected of someone personally taught strategy from the most cunning woman in a whole galaxy', they thought.

At the other side of the underwater space, near a large boulder who outstood from the rest of the ground as it was covered in musk, a clear sign of the high humidity nearby, a loud and chaotic battle was taking place.

The participants consisted in a large pack of sea magic beasts on one side and on the other, there were only two people who attacked and retreated constantly, a silver haired youth as well as a blond haired girl.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 Every time the beasts got too close to them, the silver haired youth took out some kind of device that upon contact with the ground released a massive quantity of white flames, making the beasts roar and retreat for a couple of minutes, just enough for the other party to take some distance from them.

The strange boulder though didn't seem like it, was hollow and right at the entrance there was a hole which led to an underground open space, where a small army was stationed.

At the center of the army, a woman who seemed to be in her late thirties was thrilled to hear the notices of her subordinate.

"Lady Shirel, our main target is being chased by magic beasts right now, perhaps that Ulkrear guy betrayed us but got wounded while fighting with his former comrade, so his subordinates are doing the dirty job".

The woman's eyes glowed in black light as she laughed.

"What the hell are you waiting for then, come we need to capture that little bitch, once we give her to that Lord, my son will become the official next ruler of our race, we Skelefiends will conquer Neptune and then the outside worlds that our ancestors wrote about".

"Ohhhhh!", the army shouted and then they started to move, by climbing, jumping or flying in the woman's case.

Daimon who just dodged a shot of poison casted by Neal, felt the ground trembling, with his infinity eyes, he saw the army of Skelefiends coming their way and he smirked.

'Got you'.

This battle will never be forgotten by the Skelefiends, as the day a single person led three Half Stellar ranks by their noses and in the future it will be written in history books as a crushing victory, but that is a story for another day.
