Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System-Novel
Chapter 416 Cosmic Weaponry & Aisha’s Advance
The rest of the night went on uneventful, after that intense lovemaking session they had, Daimon and Aisha slept like logs, while Aisha was smiling even in her sleep and mumbling some unrecognizable things besides the word "darling", Daimon on the other hand just hugged her to sleep.
He moved his body downwards so that his head was resting on Aisha's belly, normally he would have used her generously big bosom as his pillow, but since they weren't alone, that will be a bit too much.
Sleeping together despite their age, was already stretching the concept of "close siblings" which they used for their public backstory a bit after all, getting touchier than that will be too obvious.
At some point during the night, the door of the room opened, since today Daimon wanted to have deep night of sleep, like the kind he has when he is in his home safe with his girls, he gave Rita the task to watch over them, so he could lower his guard.
The self-proclaimed head maid, gladly accepted the task her young master gave her, since she doesn't need to sleep anyway, Rita's head emerged from Daimon's shadow, just to verify that the newcomer didn't have any ill intentions towards Daimon.
After confirming the fact that it was just one of the many bride-candidates that surrounded her young master, she returned to Daimon's shadow.
Thea who just returned after finishing the purge in Black Wave, saw the woman who somehow lives in Daimon's shadow and acts as his bodyguard, inspecting her, before she disappeared once again, to a place where her senses couldn't reach her and she shook her head.
The Empress then tossed Marlene who was occupying more than half of her bed, aside and then laid down to sleep.
Nothing else happened for the rest of the night, and Mellie didn't return to the room, probably because she stayed till late talking with her older sister, it's understandable since it's the first time they get a hint regarding their mother's death.
…
And so, the hours passed and the moon was replaced by the sun as the morning came to Neptune, Daimon's eyelids slightly trembled before he opened his eyes, he felt amazing right now, fresh as a lettuce and full of energy, more than normal in fact.
He frowned and then checked the log of the system, there were a couple of notifications which he left for later, before, but now there were more than previously, once his eyes fell on the different updates registered in the log, he understood what was happening.
Daimon's eyes glowed, he then moved the interface bar of the log, and found the origin of this changes.
[A large source of beneficial catalyzer has been absorbed by the Apex Predator, an assimilation cycle will start, time remaining 00:00]
[Congratulations, the properties accumulated into the body of the Apex Predator over the past years had been successfully integrated, calculating the new information…]
[The information of the Lineage temple has been updated!]
[Vampire: 10% à 20% concentration (Originally 100%) <!>]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[Black Armored Shark: 10% à 15% concentration]
The origin of this invigorating sensation that was coursing through his body, was because his lineages had advanced overnight.
The concentration of his vampire lineage actually doubled, not only that but the Black Armored Shark lineage also increased.
Daimon clicked in the "!" symbol next to the concentration of his vampire lineage, and a comment from the system was displayed.
[The blood on the body of the host was cleansed and condensed eliminating the weak genes, Dhampir lineage 10% fully assimilated, Day Walker lineage 10% fully assimilated, reach 30% to achieve the first change (The vampire lineage will be linked to the soulmate Aisha Licht)]
Daimon sighed, that explained why he didn't feel the desire of drinking Aisha's blood previously, the original vampire lineage in his body was the one of the Naktis, which is apparently called "Dhampir" lineage, its concentration went from 100% to 10% after he got the Apex Predator body, it didn't weaken, but it was refined instead.
He remembered that there used to be some question marks next to Aisha's race in the soulmate tab, which were caused probably because he hadn't unlocked the Lineage Temple back then.
Daimon looked at the pretty sleeping face of Aisha and then opened the soulmate tab to see if there were any changes.
[Aisha Silverheart]
[Race: High Vampire (Mixed)/Undefined (Originally Day Walker lineage, currently undergoing evolution, linked to Daimon Licht's vampire lineage)]
[Age: 22 years old (Age adapted to be more compatible with the contractor)]
[Emotional status: Happy/In Love/Satisfied]
[Current Bond: Lover]
Daimon now understood a bit more, according to Aisha, the Silverheart family was formed by two families, the famous silver hair, metal affinity and the capacity to ignore the normally weakening effect of Mithril she has, came from her grandmother, who has already passed away.
Those traits only appeared after she joined the family and only those who were her descendants had them, in other words the male side of the family was a mixed vampire, who was lucky enough to marry a woman with the Day Walker lineage.
As the generations passed, the mixed lineage improved thanks to the presence of the Day Walker lineage, which culminated in the appearance of a genius like Aisha, even the mixed vampire lineage changed to "High Vampire" in name, for her and now she is undergoing another change to evolve into something of a higher level.
'Still to think it took me eight years to fully assimilate the Naktis lineage, and only then I started desiring mom's blood, but why did I assimilated the Silverheart lineage so fast, is it because she is my soulmate', wondered Daimon, just to be met with Evangeline's playful voice.
'That's just a part of the reason, you have been exchanging not only fluids but also mana with her thanks to that absurd Core Synchrony skill of yours, every time you do that a bit of your "essence" enters them, while theirs also is assimilated by you, that bath you took in public yesterday helped your body dissolve and absorb the benefits that would have normally taken you a year or so to integrate, talking about lucky perverts~', she jokingly said.
Daimon chuckled, the gem-like three colored water which was absorbed by his body, helped him more than what he expected, that also explained the increase in the Black Armored Shark lineage and that advanced version of water affinity he got.
"We went at it quite rough yesterday and yet you are really lively so early in the morning, darling~", Daimon came out of his daze, when he heard Aisha whispering at him, he knew what she was referring to.
As a side effect of the invigorating effect caused by the increase on his vampire lineage, he couldn't control his morning wood like he normally does, so it was pressing against Aisha's thighs, due to the position in which they were, luckily thanks to that the other girls who were showing signs of waking up, couldn't see the tent in his pants.
"Ahem, it will calm down in a moment, do you feel any different?", said Daimon trying to deviate his attention to anything else to calm his erection down.
"Mm, why, did you perhaps do something to me while I was sleeping~", playfully said Aisha, but then her pretty smiling expression froze for a split of a second before she giggled and tightly hugged Daimon.
"I broke through, now I'm a seventh ranked mage!", she happily said.
Daimon was in awe; he used his mana sense to inspect Aisha and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, she actually advanced three minor realms overnight, jumping all the way from the fourth star rank which she reached thanks to the piece of Thunder Nimbus Vine, he got for her before, to the seventh star realm.
Not like a few more stars made too much of a difference, since she is way stronger than what her realm suggests, her battle prowess didn't change that much in fact, since she is already strong enough to kill middle stage Lord ranked beings anyway.
But her mana reserves increased exponentially, also she was closer to obtain her Manifestation Phenomenon once again, that will probably be the best way to increase her battle prowess, since her original spell Lightning Empress as well as Thunder Arrow, have been trained up to the Lord rank as of current, that's in part why she can only use them with limitations, but now she will be able to maintain her strongest state for a longer period of time, and use Thunder Arrow and similar level spells more times.
Daimon sighed, his stupid magic core still didn't take the last step, there was something missing that was preventing him from advancing, on the other hand he was more than happy for Aisha, the girls becoming strong is the same as he becoming strong anyway.
Daimon isn't being a philosopher, the base for the soulmates to be able to contribute noticeably to the boost of Core Synchrony is being at least one realm above Daimon, once Aisha reached the Lord rank, she'll also contribute to her darling's strength.
Besides those surprises that were waiting for him in the log, there was one more reward, it was the result of the mission he took to be recognized as a swordman by the system.
[Novice Swordsman Promotion]
[Requirements: Defeat other weapon users in real battles to prove your style surpasses theirs (12/10), overscore being calculated…]
[The profession "Novice Swordsman" has been obtained]
[The reward has been updated due to the overscore, the system has detected a previously existing sword technique, compatible with the host's style, "Cosmic Weaponry" style has been created, the difficulty has been adjusted to fit the needs of the host]
[Cosmic Weaponry:
[White Universe Techniques: Comet Sword, (For the next technique, "Promotion to Expert Swordman is needed)]
[?????: Defeat one thousand log range weapon users to unlock, (For the next technique, "Promotion to Expert Swordman" is needed)]
Daimon had a curious-filled expression as he saw the result of him crushing the crowned prince as well as Walford, though he lost the profession skill which would have been his reward, thanks to the spell Comet Sword which he created earlier, a whole path opened for him, unfortunately the next promotion mission wasn't available yet, but his instincts told him that it will appear once he unlocks the second aspect of Cosmic Weaponry, which is currently unknown.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaimon was in cloud nine right now, this night was quite lucrative for him, and that wasn't all, he now realized that since the Lineage Temple was available, the races of the girls will be further explained which could help them improve that aspect.
'Once I return, I have to look at their tabs', he thought, he could take a peek at their tabs right now, but he wants them to be present since it is something related to their future.
Daimon sneakily kissed Aisha's bellybutton making her giggle, before he got up the bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face, the Risha sisters, the Empress, Marlene, as well as Tessa, Femi, Chris and Cassy were still sleeping, though judging by their heartbeats, Daimon could tell they will be waking up any second.
Once he was inside of the bathroom, he washed his face and then said.
"Anything worth-mentioning happened during the night, Rita?".
Daimon's shadow waved a bit, before Rita's upper body emerged from it.
"Nothing, after that black haired woman returned, no one else approached the room, the other girl that left stayed in the room where the woman called Annete is staying", she said as she offered Daimon a towel to dry his face.
"Mm, thanks for the hard work", said Daimon as he accepted the towel and dried his face to then return it to her.
Rita smiled and then dived into Daimon's shadow once again, getting her young master's compliment was enough to make her day.
Daimon chuckled and then left the bathroom after changing his clothes to Gabriel's attire, in other words the Hollow Suit, he still had one thing to do before they departed to the Elemental Sea, which is paying a visit to the treasury of the Arcarius family.
But before that, he had time to take a nice breakfast together with the others, after being on the move all the previous days, the travel was a good way to rest for a day.
Once he got out of the bathroom, he felt a large number of gazes piercing him like spears.
"Good morning, ladies, what's happening did you have a bad night or something?", he asked, just to be met with the Risha sisters pouting at him.
"How can someone become prettier overnight, not fair", said Yvonne.
"Aisha's hair kind of makes me jealous, it looks so silky and smooth", added Leslie.
"She even advanced", mumbled Liliana.
Aisha stuck her tongue at Daimon, making him inwardly sigh.
'Mom why are you teasing these three', he thought, naturally Aisha was glistening with vitality, since she drank his… "fluids", in his case it was because his vampire lineage has increased, luckily, he didn't become a pretty boy like the silk pants noble vampires, instead all the nourishment went to his physical body, reinforcing his muscles and bones, while also increasing the blood flowing though his veins.
The others might have not noticed, but Thea's eyes were sparkling, she felt Daimon had become more like her than before, a direct descendant of a magic beast that took human form, his "breath" was on another level compared to the Mermen whose lineages had diluted involved because they became complacent.
"Let's go have our breakfast, we have a ship to take after paying a visit to the treasury of the Minister", said Daimon with a smirk, making the girls giggle and feel a bit bad towards Raymond.
They could still remember his miserable appearance after seeing all that three-colored water escaping from his hands, and he was going to be robbed by the same person today too, they would pity him, if he wasn't an idiot.
