Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

But that is normal since Horrorclaw is working with the scheming guy, so that kind of information won't be leaked to anyone but Horrorclaw's most trusted subordinates.

Discovering who they are would normally require its own investigation, and this is where Bandor came in handy.

"Among Horrorclaw's subordinates, who has the highest chance to know something about his plans?", asked Daimon to the Skelefiend.

Bandor knew he had no chance to resist so he had to answer, but that didn't change the fact that he was horrified at what will happen if Horrorclaw gets to know about his treason.

"His right hand isn't present at the moment, that guy is always wears a mask and he is Horroclaw's vizier, no one knows anything about him that is for sure, we just know that he is on a mission at the Maelstrom Sea right now…".

Feeling Daimon's cold glare on him, Bandor who was talking slowly, immediately added.

"B-But my superior should know a thing or two about the big scheme, because he was the one that told me that if I found anyone related to Black Wave I must bring it to him, his name is Takir and he is a high stage Stellar rank from a secondary branch of Horrorclaw's family".

Daimon turned to see Armando and saw the old man nodding at him.

"I have seen that brat Takir a couple of times before, he and Remi are the only high stage Stellars in the Skalia contient, or at least that used to be the case", said the old man, referring to the black robed person that supposedly always followed Marcus.

Daimon nodded and then turned to see Remi who right now had an expression of loss, he has already realized he is done, and if Daimon's supposition is right, Marcus didn't mention his existence, just like Adam didn't mention him to Jasmine, despite all the bragging the light idiot did.

In part it's obvious that they didn't mention him, because he won in that first exchange against the two of them at the same time, which was a stain on their previously matchless record.

But that was only one of the reasons of why his existence was taken lightly by those two, the other one was that as system users they didn't put anyone but other system users in their eyes.

So, in their minds, with the benefits of their systems they will easily surpass Daimon, because that's how it has been for them all the time, the only ones to whom they were wary, were each other.

Of course, things might have been different if they could tell, Daimon was also a system user, but that wasn't the case.

'This is a good example of what happens to those who become complacent and fully depend on their systems', for a change, Evangeline said something rather wise.

'Of course, even of you left everything to the system, with my help nothing will go wrong~', but then she returned to her usual playful self.

Daimon chuckled, he has already experienced it, the consequences of losing, so he will never allow himself to be complacent.

"And you, why did you want to execute that old assassin the moment you heard he came here looking for Black Wave?", asked Daimon.

At first Remi didn't want to answer, but then Daimon's next words made him despair.

"Leaving aside the fact that you are now under a slave contract, let me tell you a little secret of that "Lord" of yours, I kicked his ass in a 2v1 battle not too long ago, that's why he didn't mention my existence, I bet he only spoke about Adam, am I right?".

Remi's body trembled, he wouldn't have believed Daimon if he hadn't mentioned Adam's name, because Marcus indeed mentioned Adam quite a bit, of course after becoming Marcus's "special" subordinate, he got to know that he came from the outside world, but that didn't discourage him, the first knight was said to come from the outside world as well, after all.

Ultimately the pain caused by resisting to answer Daimon to whom he is subordinated now, and the confusion of why Marcus didn't mention such a dangerous guy to him, made Remi spill the beans.

"He… isn't here, he and the divine envoy left on a mission, and I was tasked to eliminate Black Wave, that's why I ordered Josue to look for them, but so far there weren't any discoveries".

"Then why did you want to kill the old assassin on the spot, if you needed more information about Black Wave, your words don't make sense", said Jasmine, her usually calm and gentle voice had a tinge of anger behind it, probably because Adam was involved with Marcus too.

Daimon didn't interrupt her, though he had an idea of why Remi didn't bother to try and keep Tadeus Alive, he already told all of them that Adam and Marcus were dangerous, but he couldn't logically explain them about the impossibilities that a system user could accomplish, it was better for them to hear it from others.

And as expected, Remi's next words made all the ones in the room, besides Daimon, Aisha and surprisingly the Risha sisters, be speechless for a moment.

"That's because, Marcus handed me a magic treasure that allows me to look into the memories of recently dead people, so no interrogation was needed, this way I could also keep up the act in front of Armando", said Remi.

The Risha sisters didn't let that surprise them, they have seen Daimon doing crazier things, and they each received a bracelet of the god of mischief from him, so since the moment Daimon openly told them that Adam and Marcus were dangerous, they supposed those two could pull out similar unheard-of items like Daimon, as they weren't strong enough to defeat Daimon, so the source of danger shouldn't be in their battle prowess.

"Why does he want to eliminate Black Wave, is it related to why he burned that statue?", asked Daimon.

Remi shook his head with a defeated expression on his face.

"I don't know, I only followed his orders, but I once heard him talking alone, as if he was talking to himself "I better get something good as reward after killing those guys", it's what he said, that happened the day after I was tasked with eliminating Black Wave, as for the statue, I don't know, back then I hadn't… raised in rank within the organization, there are another high stage Stellars on his side, but we don't know who they are".

Daimon already expected that both Marcus and Adam had backers waiting for them here, since Neptune was meant to strengthen them, he also confirmed that eliminating Black Wave was part of Marcus's mission and that was a good thing.

Because if he prevents him from doing so, he will be interfering with Marcus's mission, which should count as stealing an opportunity from him, and with Remi under his control, he can create a situation in which Marcus doesn't have the time to worry about Black Wave.

Like making his force clash with Horrorclaw's for example, and he has the pawns needed to make it happen.

Remi and Bandor suddenly felt a chill running down their spines, though the silver haired youth was wearing a mask that covered the upper half of his face, they felt as if a fierce magic beast was eyeing them, it was a long-lost sensation for them who have been in the Stellar ranks for quite some time, the crushing fear of being at the complete mercy of others.

"Senior aurora can you fix that guy, we are going to need him later", said Daimon as he pointed at Tadeus, who at this point was silently waiting for his death in a corner, he was beaten up by Bell earlier, because he needed to look miserable for Armando's explanation, as to why Bell did it, she asked to for it.

Aurora nodded, she snapped her fingers and white light surrounded Tadeus, healing his wounds, though his expression was still ash dead, but that didn't matter.

"You, take us to the gathering point of Black Wave, senior Aurora please stay behind to guard the fort, miss Thea, old Armando, Bell and Olivia, you four come with me, bring Tadeus and these two as well", said Daimon.

The mentioned nodded, Aisha and the others didn't complain because even if they tagged along, they couldn't participate anyway, but that didn't bother them, because they will have their time to shine at the Global Raid, everyone had things they could and couldn't do and these noble young misses and little princesses already understood that.

All the ones that were coming were either allies or slaves, so there was no need to restrain anyone, surprisingly Armando was prominent in moving through space, like Vincent, so after Josue told them the exact location of Black Wave's gathering point, he created the respective portal to that place.

…

For this branch of Black Wave to have successfully avoided Horroclaw's eyes until now, they naturally didn't operate in his territory, also according to Bell the leader of this branch had a relatively pale skin, so it was expected for him to be a White Walker.

What Armando didn't expect was that a den of assassins was hiding in one of the most peaceful cities of the Skalia continent, one he knew very well, since this was the native city of his deceased wife, that being said Armando never returned to this city, because all of his wife's family died during the war, Shirel is the only surviving relative of his wife.

Leaving Armando who was furious right now, Daimon observed the city, Armando's flames were surprisingly useful for illusions, he called his element "Spectral Fire" but it wasn't hot, in fact it wasn't even related to fire, it's just that it looked like it, according to the old man, it was a mix of mist and illusion affinities.

Daimon was curious regarding this affinity, because Yvonne's darkness was also mixed with illusion affinity, so it is possible that they get some advanced illusion spells from the Spokel family, but that could wait for later.

Right now, while being hid by Armando's illusion they advanced towards the east side of the city, to a pretty much average looking store, which made Daimon chuckle, apparently Black Wave followed the same pattern her as in the Mermen Sea.

"I can sense an underground structure below that store, which is normal as all the stores have a warehouse, but I can't sense if there are people inside of that place", said Armando.

Usually that wouldn't be suspicious at all, stores naturally pay to have isolated warehouses, so that they don't get robed, that's how Black Wave has been able to operate without any problem, they hide at plain sight.

On the other hand, Armando has the capacity to travel through space and a domain, so his mana sense isn't as sharp as it should be, but Thea's is, the Empress's eyes glowed and then she said.

"There are six people inside, two early stage Stellars and three peak Mortal realms, one of the first two is wounded".

"The wounded guy is the leader of this branch of Black Wave, the Mortal realms are the vice leaders, as for the other Stellar ranked, it should be Romel's subordinate, the guy who was going to act as Tadeus contact, regarding Bells's assassination", said Olivia.

In other words, the leader of this branch of Black Wave was recently found by that subordinate, but apparently no one has been informed, or Horroclaw should have come here personally to capture Black Wave.

'Well, I guess even under the flag of the scheming guy, there must be different factions, since that guy is subordinated to the leader of Black Wave in the Maelstrom Sea, then he of course isn't going to inform Horrorclaw if they want the merit for themselves', thought Daimon.

Though both Skelefiends and pirates are working with the scheming guy, that doesn't make them allies, it's just a matter of convenience, considering the fact that the scheming guy is rewarding them for their contributions, none of them is willing to share.

And that acted in Daimon's favor and also in Bell's favor, because Rita who was carefully inspecting her young master's surroundings all the time, informed.

'Young master, that guy down there is one of those creatures'.

Daimon raised an eyebrow.

'Is he similar to Bell, or similar to the ones we have fought before?', he asked.

'Mm, it feels like the two we have fought before but at the same time it also feels like that purple haired woman'.

Daimon's eyes glowed, he already knew that other races could turn into Nethereals, so that guy probably just went through his change, also it's normal that weaker people get changed faster, since they are overwriting their previous race, so the leader of Black Wave at the Maelstrom Sea is still at the black mist stage, as Daimon decided to call it.

"Old Armando, make sure to put a strong illusion barrier here, we have something we must capture, miss Thea I leave the battle to you, Bell you and Olivia will be in charge of suppressing the guys from Black Wave".

"Tadeus go down there and ask to see your contact, you know what will happen if you try to do something funny right", said Daimon at the old assassin, whose body shivered remembering the torture of the black armored guy, not to mention Bell using him as a sandbag.

"Y-yes", surprisingly this was also the city that Tadeus's contact chose to meet him, probably, he already suspected that one of the gathering points of Black Wave was here.

But the fact that the leader of this branch was here, was a total coincidence, the newly transformed Nethereal probably wanted Tadeus to help him fight and capture the leader of this branch, since they are both early-stage Stellar ranks.

Tadeus was sent to the entrance of the city, before he was expulsed from Armando's illusion, he then took out a disposable mirror plate and sent a message, after which the thing broke.

From above, Thea said that the Nethereal just looked into his pocket and then stood up to leave, the door of the store opened and a tall guy wearing a helmet came out, he casually flew towards the entrance of the city and greeted Tadeus before he returned to the store.

Naturally Daimon and the others had already infiltrated into the store before they returned, and they just followed them from behind.
