Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
Chapter 647 - 647: A king’s role (part 10)

'T-That bitch, don't tell me…', feeling a chill running down his spine, the Asmadian Lord's legs exploded in dark pink nether as he flashed away from the crazy girl's aim.

"Royal Traceless Step!", Reed's image vanished from plain sight as he used one of his movement spells in order to get away from Sarah's range.

"No, no, crappy illusions of that level are useless for these beautiful eyes of mine~", playfully said the crazy girl as she pointed her crossbow in a "random" direction, to then shot the blood red needle-bolt.

Unlike the previous two bolts she used which focused on wide area and stealth, respectively, this one's specialty was pure raw power and thus, the moment the crazy girl shot it, it caused a thunderous explosion as it traveled at an insanely fast speed in the direction Sarah shot it at.

"Damn it, Royal Corroding Step!!!", noticing that the aim of that bolt was still his bland parts, the Asmadian Lord added a second movement spell to the mix, this time only his feet exploded in black nether, but unlike the long-term stealth increase that the previous spell had, this one focused in explosive instant mobility.

Thanks to that, Reed managed to get flash away, dodging the blood red bolt-needle, which instead landed on a wall a few hundreds of meters away.

"Booom!", the red bolt-needle blasted an arm-sized hole into the wall of the throne room, which made the Asmadian Lord feel his back drench in cold sweat, if that bolt had landed on him, he would have become a eunuch.

What's worse is that during that explosion, the nether released was without a doubt that of the Balax Lord.

'Hey Byron, after criticizing Reed all this time, did you pull a trick and interfered when Reed created that abomination?', asked the Bane Lord.

'Nonsense, why the hell would I have given that "thing" my nether, when Reed had gone overboard already, do you think I'm as stupid as you who's nether ended up helping that woman escape', said the Balax Lord.

The reason as to why Reyne looks older and treats Jasmine as her younger sister, despite having been born some time after her, it's because she should have been born before, Jessica was going to have twins.

But Byron was mainly interested in Jasmine, so she was made to be born before Reyne, that is also what made the illusion casted on Jessica to breakdown, because Jasmine who was forced to be born before she should have, "suffered" as in she was a bit weak at the moment of birth.

It still took Jessica some time to wake up, and she was in the middle of a "walk" with Byron when it happened, since that was the stage, he had set up with Reed to have Black Wave assassinate Jessica, luckily, she broke out of Reed's illusion and killed the assassins, she was then chased by Byron, but even then, she managed to get away from him.

Unfortunately, she ran into the Bane Lord's puppet who was just entering Neptune through a crack in space, and realizing that she couldn't escape nor defeat him, Jessica jumped into that spatial tunnel, not without receiving an attack from the Bane Lord in order to protect her belly.

The rest of the story is as Freya stated, Jessica ended in Kerrol after moving through that erratic space tunnel, and she was saved at the last second by Freya separating her into Jean and Emily, you could say that Reyne's birth was a miracle among miracles, had any of the many factors that led to her birth, missed, she wouldn't be here today.

Or you could also say that was probably thanks to she being the descendant of a system user, as they share one thing in common, the higher the risks the higher the opportunities they can obtain.

Anyway, the point is that the Bane Lord thought that Byron had used his nether on Sarah by mistake, but that was not the case.

"It's funny to see you squeezing your brains trying to discern how I am using your nether, when you have done something similar, well should I say it was just a poor imitation, since you artificially implanted three types of nether into that guy and used Lust nether to make everything barely remain glued~", mockingly said the crazy girl as she extended her right hand.

The purple giant skull behind of her, opened its spiked tooth mouth, releasing three small streams of different colors, one was completely black, the next one was dark red colored and the last one had a dark pink tone.

The three streams of nether obediently landed on the hand of the crazy girl, who then closed her fist "crushing" them into wisps of nether that were then devoured by the purple skull.

"The difference between that imitation you created is that I don't need to use lust nether to "cooperate", not when it is easier and way funnier to just beat your nether into submission~", said the crazy girl, which made the three Lords tremble due to anger.

'Even "Royal Decree" can just directly command nether from those ones that are one rank below or more and it is limited to those that belong to the same noble house or have the same base for their nether, just what the hell did you create Reed!', shouted the Bane Lord, he couldn't help but feel "icked" at the very presence of that purple haired girl in front of them.

Which is normal, Sarah could steal their nether and use it against themselves, maybe in an obviously lower quantity, however the quality didn't diminish at all, as Reed who was at risk of becoming a eunuch if he received that arrow which contained Byron's physically explosive nether in it, could confirm.

What's more, the Asmadian Lord saw the crazy girl smirk at him as she placed another red bolt-needle on her crossbow, to then aim it at him.

"I wonder how many shots will it take to rip a new one on the body of someone whose only physical activity is playing with whores~", said the crazy girl as she shot the red bolt-needle at Reed.

"Clang!", however this time the Asmadian Lord didn't use his movement spells to dodge Sarah's attack, because Byron had flashed at his direction to then slash the bolt which contained his wrath nether, with his great sword.

"Keeping the long-range attackers safe is basic strategy…", however as the Balax Lord was in the middle of speaking, a blood red lance appeared at his left.

"Booom!", the lance clashed against the great sword, resulting in a thunderous shockwave, then under Byron's expression of disbelief, he was actually pushed backwards.

"I certainly want to pierce my lance through the head of that rotten corpse bastard, but you are second on the list", said the blond haired nelapsi girl whose right hand was covered in blood battle aura.

While Reyne's human life spark is an elemental type, her nelapsi's side life spark is a support type one, leaving aside the strange ability she obtained thanks to her awakening nether, the original way in which Reyne used her nelapsi life spark's property is simple, an insane increase in vitality which translates to her gaining a terrifyingly high physical strength.

"Oh, and if I were you, I wouldn't lose sight of little Jas, after all that would be like leaving a wolf charge into a pack of sheep", casually added Reyne which forced Byron to look at his left, where the light princess had appeared in front of the Bane Lord.

"God damn it, Byron!", just the close exposition to the light that was cladding Gram, made Aslan feel his body weakening, he wasn't being directly harmed like it happened to the captain, mostly because Jasmine isn't using her light nether which is the one that has the highest offensive power between the two energies she commands, but her mana.

But the light princess's light mana was still enough to restrain an extreme darkness affinity netherial like the Bane Lord, it was amusing to see Jasmine's small frame, fiercely charge at the imposing Aslan who thrusted his black bone spear in a hurry to try and keep the light princess at distance.

"Humph!", Jasmine softly snorted as she slashed Gram at the incoming black bone spear.

"Clang!", the sound of metals colliding as well as sparks flew from the point of contact between the spear and sword, however the black layer covering the Bane Lord's spear, almost instantly started releasing smoke upon contact with the light mana layer covering Gram.

"Royal Black Death Step!", after a second of directly clashing against Gram, the Bane Lord immediately used his movement spell to get away from Jasmine's vicinity, as if he was avoiding the plague, he stole a gaze at his spear just to grit his teeth at the white burns that had appeared all over the shaft of the spear.

'A few seconds of that and my spear would have suffered real damage, what the hell is that sword, no what the hell is up with Byron's daughter, how can a nethereal have such an extremely positive affinity!', he cursed to his insides.

In the meantime, the crazy girl whose figure had vanished out of nowhere, suddenly appeared next to Byron who was charging at Reyne, her pretty right hand formed a fist with which she punched the Balax Lord on the chest.

Byron inwardly gritted his teeth, using nether against Sarah would be counterproductive since she could steal it from him, so he answered with his own punch.

"Booom!", Sarah's fist clashed against Byron's one, resulting in a tie very much to the surprise of the Balax Lord, because unlike Reyne, the purple haired girl in front of him wasn't using nether to enhance her body, in other words… she was her equal in terms of pure physical strength.

And that is a big problem because while Sarah is a middle stage Lord Knight, he at his base state is an early-stage Arch Knight.

"How funny, it seems like you bastards had not realized it yet, you aren't fighting us, it is us the ones who are fighting with you and as such, you don't get to decide who your opponent is~", said the crazy girl, the eye sockets of the purple skull behind of hers suddenly lit up in purple flames and the stalemate between her punch and the one of the Balax Lord was suddenly broken.

"What!", Byron was at disbelief at the feeling of his feet slowly but surely being pushed backwards, he a member of a noble house from the Wrath faction who are considered the epitome of physical strength, was losing against someone from the Lust faction, who wasn't even using nether to reinforce herself.

"Royal Wrath Devil Slash!", incapable of standing such humiliation, the Balax Lord's great sword exploded in dark red nether as he intended to slash the insolent purple haired girl down with it, only for his sword to be met with a white light cladded sword.

"Booom!", the Balax Lord's martial art was stopped in cold by a mountain like wall in the form of Gram which was being controlled by Narasha, and wielded by Jasmine.

"Aiyoo, how could I steal my cute little sister's prey, bye~", the crazy girl waved her hand at Byron as she vanished into thin air, making a vein bulge on the Balax Lord's neck.

And with that, everything was set back in its rightful place, as in Reyne charged at the Bane Lord, while Sarah started shooting bolts with different properties at the Asmadian Lord who answered with his nether arrows.

'We can't let these three dictate the flow of the battle, I wanted us to save energy to deal with that masked bastard, but these three are way stronger than what they were supposed to be', thought Byron, his body exploded in dark red nether which violently surged towards Jasmine, who reacted by projecting a light wall between herself and the Balax Lord.

"Crack!", Jasmine alongside her barrier were forced backwards, the light protection was almost instantly destroyed, it was for a good reason though, the Balax Lord had finally started fighting seriously as the now bright red nether he was exuding suggested.

"Royal Nether…", mumbled the light princess, Sarah being the overprotective older sister she is, of course taught everything she learned from the memories stored into the nether of Reed, which she recently managed to crack down.

Among which, there was a method to discern the "rank" of the nether used by netherials, which goes from "commoner", the nether used by the average netherial, to "noble" which is the evolution of the previous, available to those that raise their realm, meaning that even a common netherial can go up the ladder, those that come from noble families are innately born with that level of nether by the way.

And then you have "royal" nether, the refined version of the noble ranked one, reserved only for those whose lineages had reached a high amount of purity, or first-generation descendants of the strongest beings among netherials, which is the case of the three Lords.

Speaking of which, while the title that those three hold hasn't being mentioned since "Lord" is a way to refer to anyone with a noble rank, just like Agrak, they are princes, the difference being that they are from an older generation than Agrak who was just assigned with them to gain experience.

Unfortunately, more than basic stuff like that, couldn't be seen by the crazy girl, not like she cared, as she was mostly interested in what happened to Jasmine's mother, so she focused on that part.

And in case you wonder, those three hadn't reached the point where their descendants would be born with royal nether back then, and in any case, Sarah and the others can't be really considered neither their daughters nor nethereials, those three awakened royal nether on their own, with a little helping hand of a certain someone's influence as a system user.

Also, the main difference between royal nether and the other two, is the amount of power that they can produce when used as fuel for one's techniques, as an example of it, the pressure that the Balax Lord radiated was day and night when compared to before.

"Royal Wrath Explosive Step", with a few words, the Balax Lord turned into a bright red flash, that reached Jasmine before the light princess could cast her own spell, Byron's great sword descended upon Jasmine the next second, just for Narasha to get in the way of the enemy attack.

"Clang!", the clash between the two swords, caused a thunderous metal colliding sound, while the attack was nullified, just like with Daimon, Gram can't negate the physical impact that would be transmitted through it, which made Jasmine's arm tremble.

She is a mage after all, so she couldn't help but feel the whole right side of her body get numb due to the leftover impact, something that the Balax Lord obviously noticed, however just as a he formed a fist to punch the light princess, the corner of Jasmine's pretty lips bent upwards, because her opponent had fallen for her trap.

"White Heavenly Spear", Jasmine's mellow yet fierce voice, resulted in her staff being enveloped in a blinding white light that then took the form of an intricate spear, currently there are less than six spells that would cause trouble for the light princess to cast, the heavenly spear that now was being wielded by her left hand being fourth one among them, and she used that to her advantage, creating an "opening" for the Balax Lord to get close to her, so that she could… attack him.

"Light Piercing Thrust!", with a fierceness that didn't match her pretty face, Jasmine pushed the heavenly spear towards the head of the Balax Lord, who retrieved his sword to block the incoming pear.

"Booom!", unfortunately, Byron's sword was Narasha's prey, so the sword girl guided Jasmine's right hand to slash Gram at the great sword, forcefully moving it out of the way.

'Damn it!', inwardly cursed the Balax Lord he jumped backwards to avoid the blinding light spear, but he was one step too late and the edge of the spearhead managed to graze his left cheek.

A dripping sound echoed through the throne room as a few drops of blood ran down the face of the Balax Lord, towards his neck, all this while Jasmine slashed her spear to get rid of the blood on it, the light princess was the first one to actually hurt one of the Lords.

And she did it not relying on strength but strategy, since she managed to make the Balax Lord, who is used to command armies, to lower his guard.

'No way, that mage girl actually got Byron, right after he started using royal nether!', inwardly exclaimed the Asmadian Lord, only to be brought back to the real world by Sarah's mocking voice.

"Our little Jas is quite fierce right… however why haven't you geared up properly, do you want to be turned into a sieve?", the crazy girl's voice took a 180° turn at the latter half of her sentence, which made Reed feel a chill running down his spine.

"Royal Reinforcement, Pleasure Corroding Armor!", under Sarah's coercion, the Asmadian Lord directly both started using royal nether and casted his mana armor at the same time, making a combination of black and neon pink nether gather around him, to then condense into a though full body, elegant looking armor.

"Hoh, it's indeed better than anything that whore you sent to fight against me could do, nothing out of the ordinary though", said the crazy girl as she nodded as if criticizing the spell used by Reed.

But at this point the Asmadian Lord had learned to pay no mind to Sarah's words, or at least that's what he believed, if ignoring the crazy girl would be enough to not be annoyed by her, then she wouldn't be the sole person Daimon has not learned how to deal with.

"That armor looks like a tight fit, did the megalodon seal away your balls for real, perhaps those whores of yours were simply toyed with in an illusion and not in real life, well that would mean they were lucky…", Sarah's words seemed to have touched a nerve, making the Asmadian Lord's eyes burn in bright pink flames.

"Shut the fuck up already!!!", he roared, though the part of him losing his balls didn't hit the mark, after he lost a part of his existence, there was a period of time in which he faced "problems" to get it up, which for a lust based netherial like him was a huge problem, and so in order to recover, he indeed used illusions to play with the first drafts of the women from the Black Night race he created, until he had recovered enough for the real deal.

Needless to say, but all the ones with whom he had to apply the previous, were personally killed by him, so that he could bury that humiliating moment of his life forever, never did it cross his mind that someone would manage to guess it by mere luck.

Well, Sarah simply was attacking him where she knew it would hurt, it just turned out to be a real situation.

"Royal Pleasure Corroding Arrow Rain!", with an angered voice, the Asmadian Lord pulled on the string of his bow to then release a barrage of countless black-pink arrows on Sarah's direction.

There were so many of them, that instead of arrows they looked like a wave of nether, unfortunately for Reed, that's what Sarah wanted him to do.

"Purple Death Void~", with a playful voice, the purple skull behind of Sarah, suddenly tripled its already giant size, to then open its mouth and drag till the last of the incoming arrows into its spiked tooth maw.

"Dumbass", disdainfully said the crazy girl, whose legs lit up in purple flames the next second.

"Royal Purple Step", now imagine Reed's face when Sarah suddenly used a technique with the word "Royal" into its name, but what nearly drove him mad is the fact that the resulting martial art seemed like a combination of his two movement spells.

As in, not only Sarah's image vanished from plain sight, without leaving behind a trace of her, but also explosively increased her speed, allowing Sarah to directly appear above Reed in a fraction of a second, just in time for her to… smack his head with the white metal crossbow.

"Aghhh!", now the previous might sound absurd, however Reed isn't a knight and he hadn't manifested a helmet, since just like the captain that required him to use a spell for it in specific, so he was not only smashed against the ground due to the impact, but blood was splattered due to the crossbow hitting his head.
