Chapter 255 Man Proposes, God Disposes And The Demon Decomposes (Part 1)
Since there was a possibility that the others came to look for them, Aisha didn't flirt with Daimon and just bathed quickly so that her son could take is turn not too long after.
A moment later they both returned to the shore where the others were either resting or meditating, Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana were sat down cross-legged gathering mana, showing the results of having absorbed their respective resources.
"Oh", although Daimon already noticed it earlier, while the Risha sisters originally had differences in their realms, the three of them were perfectly synchronized now, having reached the early stage of the three-star realm.
If they were given more time to focus in absorbing and refining the resources Daimon gift them, he was sure they would have all reached the middle stage of the three-star mage realm without any problem.
But that didn't change the fact that they still surpassed every other member of their family in terms of age/realm, while keeping a strong base which meant their battle prowess didn't became mediocre, allowing them to jump realms to fight.
"What are you three doing gathering but not absorbing all this mana?", asked Daimon, making the Risha sisters stop what they were doing.
"We wanted to show them how mages become stronger at our galaxy…", Leslie fidgeted her fingers thinking that maybe Daimon was angry at them for not asking him first.
Daimon chuckled as he shook his head.
"I don't mind if you do it, they got to learn it sooner or later, but it would have been a better idea to do it inside the ship, where all that mana wouldn't draw unwanted attention", said Daimon as his mana sense noticed a ship which was now heading towards them.
The Risha sisters blushed a bit, they of course inspected the nearby area with their mana sense, but they couldn't reach as far Daimon, so there was no way for them to know about a ship about one thousand kilometers away from them.
"It's our fault… I forgot to warn them that the ships from the Tidal Wave tribe have specialized long range radars that work using vibrations on the water instead of through the air", Lapis stepped in for the Risha sisters.
Earlier Ruby who noticed Leslie had fire affinity asked her to show her how her fire worked, and one thing led to the other, until they did a small demonstration of how mages gather and absorb mana to become stronger.
"It's okay, it's only one ship, we'll steal it for us, as that radar should be helpful to locate the rest of our class".
The ships of the Red Bone tribe had the better long-range weapons, which were those cannons Eleazar tried to use to attack Daimon, and while the ones on the deck were destroyed in the fight earlier, there were some spare ones.
So, combining that ship with the radar and installing the spare cannons on it, would give him the best of both worlds.
'Darling, should I use the blood bat in front of them?', asked Aisha in a voice only the soulmates could hear.
Aster nodded.
'Yeah, they already saw me using other elements and Demon Light, besides the skills that require zero mana or what you want to keep as a hidden card, feel free to use other things, in any case depending on how things go, I might even be forced to use Core Synchrony'.
Only now Daimon remembered he hasn't told nor the Risha sisters or Aisha about how many people of the tribes entered the magic ruin, nor about the black stone hall and the monster guarding the door which practically confirmed the existence of Arch ranked existences here.
"Let's go get a new ship and then we'll catch up with all what we have experienced so far", mumbled Daimon.
Then under the surprised gazes of the two groups of girls, Aisha summoned the blood bat in its current biggest form.
A red bat with a wingspan of about four meters appeared floating next to Aisha.
"A contracted beast!", Yvonne couldn't help but shout due to the surprise, while all the strongest families have bred spirit beasts docile enough to be used as cattle, they were all low ranked and not apt as battel companions.
Only a magic beast which has unlocked its wisdom and developed a beast core is able to form a bond with mages or knights by recognizing them as their masters, and while there have been a few very rare cases, there was an iron rule in all of them.
The beast had to be weaker than the master, and now in front of them, the bat which seemed to be showing off a bit glowing in red light, was clearly an early-stage Lord magic beast!
Yvonne stared at Aisha and then at Daimon and she sighed.
"I guess the sister of a monster must be a monster too… after seeing you using more than two elements, I thought I wouldn't be surprised by whatever you two pulled out, but I was wrong", said Yvonne as she shrugged.
Leslie curiously approached the red bat and touched its wings, unlike normal magic beasts, the blood bat was loyal to its name and could liquefy its own body, to change its shape and size.
But as a proud monster servant it didn't like anyone other than its master and of course its creator which was Daimon touching it.
"Little Red, she is a friend so treat her well, am I clear~", as the blood bat was preparing to retaliate, Aisha's calm voice made its way into its ears, stopping it in cold.
The blood bat slowly turned to see its master and slowly nodded and its attitude took a 180° change, it even swirled around Leslie and allowed Ruby who also was interested on it to touch its wings, while giving Daimon a "save me" gaze from time to time.
Daimon inwardly laughed amused by the situation, his mother might be the sweetest but she also had a scary side, which he experienced first hand whenever he felt like skipping his training, or taking a rest in the middle of the week.
"Let's go, the blood bat will take us there, you three take the ship and flank them, Aisha and me will take care of the Lord ranked, Yvi, the cannons are yours, Liliana you defend the ship and Leslie the subordinates are yours okay?".
"Yes!", the Risha sisters nodded, Daimon kept the ship in his inventory and then took it out again but on the water, while Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana were boarding the ship, Scarlett, Amber and Lapis approached Daimon.
"Let us participate too, at least we can shoot the cannons of the ship, those bastards must pay for what they have done", said Amber as she stretched her body.
"The radar can be detached, so even if the ships sinks, we can just adapt it to the one we currently have", added Lapis.
Scarlet on the other hand pointed at Ruby who was still playing with the blood bat, and Jade who was enjoying the soft feeling of the sand on her feet.
"Ruby and Jade will rest since they can't move too much for the time being".
Daimon didn't see any problem with them helping, he wasn't going to give them a different treatment due to their past, nor show pity towards them, instead what they needed were battle experience and study to find a way to get stronger.
Once everyone was on the ship, Daimon and Aisha jumped on the blood bat and they went ahead of them, with the Risha sisters and the other girls following them not too far nor too close.
On the way Aisha noticed her son was a bit contemplative and she hugged his right arm, as she said.
"What's the problem darling, you seem to be lost in your thoughts?".
Daimon came out of his daze and shook his head.
"It's nothing, my sixth sense has been going crazy lately, nut in a danger alarming way, it's just as if something important is about to happen, but I can discern what it is… whatever, the result will be the same".
Aisha smiled at her son and then they both focused in the upcoming battle, after a few minutes of flying on top of the blood bat, Daimon could spot the enemy ship with his bare eyes, without injecting mana into them.
Of course, the blood bat was smart enough to float way above the ship, to be out of the enemy's field of vision.
Daimon's attention was immediately drawn after seeing there weren't anyone on the deck, it looked as if it was abandoned, but of course that wasn't the case.
Then his infinity eyes glowed as he saw someone coming out of the captain's cabin's, a guy to begin with, and pretty familiar person on top of it, Calvin.
The blood bat descended in front of the cruise and then stopped at a perfectly discernible position.
"Class rep, is that you… what are the names of your fiancées back home?", asked Calvin, he tapped his right foot on the deck and the cannons were displayed and pointed all at Daimon.
"Liz and Elaine, you too, what is the name of the girl you like".
Calvin scratched the back of his head, he already knew it was Daimon but he just wanted, to be completely sure, since he saw how one those creatures possessed the body of a defeated enemy.
"It's Loren of course", Said Calvin without a tinge of doubt in his words.
Daimon did the signal they accorded, to not attack the enemy ship and then he just waited for Yvi and the others to approach them.
The captain's cabin opened and then, Michael, Haylee and Loren came out of it, besides the clear surprise of seeing the blood bat, they immediately smiled at Daimon and Aisha.
"I'm glad you are okay", said Michael, the other ship soon appeared next to them and then, Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana jumped on the other ship.
Of course, Calvin didn't miss the chance mess with the Risha sisters, after seeing they already reunited with Daimon, even before them.
"You see, love always find the way…", before he could finish speaking, Liliana froze the floor below him, and Yvonne used a whip to make him fall overboard, soaking in the process.
Loren laughed at Calvin's antics and she couldn't help but say.
"It's good that we are together again".
