Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Chapter 658 - 658: A king’s role (part 20)



Naturally, the Lords had no intention of letting things go Sarah’s way, so before she could reach Reed, the elite assassin undead which Aslan summoned earlier, appeared above the crazy girl.

Seeing the bone dagger coming at her, Sarah smirked, her pretty eyes shone in an ominous purple light, which resulted in the arm of the elite undead… melting before it could reach a meter away from her head.

“You really should stick to your assigned opponents, death nether is corrosive and poisonous after all~”, said the crazy girl with a mocking voice.

Basically, she used Aslan’s death nether as fuel to poison the assassin undead, since the death nether is what sustains the body of the undead, when Sarah turned it into poison, the thing was destroyed from the inside, hence why Sarah didn’t even need to use a martial art, how can an undead who lacks a sense of self defend against a technique like that.

However, and as bad for the Bane Lord as the previous sounded, Aslan didn’t seem to care about the loss his undead just suffered, for a simple reason, Byron whose battle avatar had suddenly manifested a sword which looked like an exact copy of the one his real body was holding, to then slash it at Sarah from behind.

Unfortunately for the Balax Lord, a “tall” white crystal armored figure interrupted the advance of his sword, Jasmine who now had light wings sprouting from the back of her armor, appeared next to Byron who was about to ambush the crazy girl.

“Boooom!”, the fierce light princess whose left hand was free, since she had put her staff away for the time being, closed it to form a fist with which she punched the side of Byron’s battle avatar, resulting in a thunderous shockwave echoing through the battlefield, before the giant battle avatar was… forced to the side.

“Crack!”, the giant manifested battle aura sword whose trajectory was forcefully changed by Jasmine, passed a few centimeters away from to the crazy girl who didn’t move even a millimeter from her previous position, and simply made her pretty purple hair wave a bit, but when it landed on the ground not too far away from Sarah, it made everything in the vicinity explode due to the impact.

Seeing Byron who was enraged due to the embarrassment of not only having his course of action foreseen by the light princess, who in response activated her Silver Wings spell, to exceed his speed when combined with her movement spell, but also being thrown out of balance, by her punch, glare at her, Jasmine pointed Gram at the Balax Lord.

“Sorry, but I can’t let sister Sarah melt that sword, my friend has been looking up to crush it since earlier after all”, she said as she gazed at the great sword she was holding with her right hand, which earned her a smile from a certain sword girl not because of the sword part, but because of the words “my friend”, which in response made the white light cladding Gram, shine in a brighter tone.

“Royal Black Dea…”, Aslan who saw the initial ambush they had plotted, fall apart, proposed himself to summon another elite undead to follow up with the plan, was interrupted midway by a sensation of danger, accompanied by a wave of heat.

The Bane Lord’s eyes contracted like needles, at the last second, the elite guard champion who was fast enough, pushed him to the side, just in time for a stream of crimson flames to pierce the champion’s head.

However, unlike what Aslan believed, that wasn’t Royal Crimson Piercer, because the stream of flames stopped advancing, exactly after going out from the back of the skull of the elite champion, to then retract dragging the now dead champion away.

The stream of crimson flames flew at insane speed back to its origin, the burning flaming lance of a certain nelapsi girl, who casually threw the corpse of the elite champion to where the reaper and the crusher were.

Imagine Aslan’s expression when he saw those crimson chains hold onto the champion, sealing it alongside the other two, and now you might wonder why didn’t the Bane Lord simply called it back when its skull was destroyed.

Well, it’s not like he didn’t, but that he couldn’t, the moment the undead was killed, Aslan lost any control over it, but then again, his connection was still there, he was using nether to maintain it and it was still taking a part of his focus.

That being said and as serious as the previous sounded, Aslan’s biggest worry as of current wasn’t the ability of Reyne’s crown, but the fierceness of her battle aura, now that she was using the blood mist that was radiated by her own body, as fuel for it.

‘If that damn spear would have landed on me instead…’, the Bane Lord felt a chill running down his spine, the elite champion pushed him out of the way, otherwise it would have been his head the one pierced by Reyne’s Royal Crimson Lance, which had gained an interesting ability.

Thanks to the recent advance the nelapsi girl, the maneuverability of her battle aura had shot through the roof, hence why she could extend the length of the crimson flames burning on her lance, to then retract them, which both gave Reyne a wide range of attack while saving battle aura in the process.

‘That blood mist is formidable but it uses vitality, so there is a limit as to how much she can use it on a daily basis, which is why she modified that martial art to adapt, not bad’, concluded Daimon.

Back to the fight, after a moment of disbelief, the Bane Lord saw Reyne thrusting her lance at him, which made him directly exploded in nether, naturally with a complete Domain once again, his previous limit, caused by having compressed half of it into the black coffin, had been increased.

And normally, that would have meant that Aslan would be free to summon and control around ten elite undead, since his limit was less than half earlier because he was affected by Sarah stealing an innate ability from him, as a side effect.

A side effect which was overridden by forcefully summoning his Domain a second time, while maintaining the black coffin at the same time, but with Reyne sealing away three of those spots, his limit was of seven, and even then, Aslan knew that simple numbers won’t be enough to take down the nelapsi girl.

“Crack!”, the elite guard appeared a dozen of meters ahead of the Bane Lord, to use his wide arms and body to block the crimson flame stream which flashed at Aslan at an insane speed.

The result was of course the arms of the elite guard being pierced through by Reyne’s battle aura, to then reach the elite guard’s body, pushing him all the way to where Aslan, had finished channeling that huge amount of nether into the black spiked crown floating above his head.

“So what if both your nether and your fighting style have a suppressing effect on mine, Royal Black Death Elite Living Armor!”, seeing the incoming lance which was pushing the giant body of the elite guard towards him, the Bane Lord, surprisingly didn’t dodge this time, he instead simply extended his right hand frontwards.

“Boooom!”, a huge shockwave, echoed through the throne room, as a cloud of crimson flames appeared into the sky, however made the nelapsi girl far from being happy, limited to frown, she felt the advance of her battle aura being stopped in cold, so she looked at the direction where her crimson flames were burning.

The crimson flame cloud was suddenly dispelled to reveal the charred corpse of the elite guard, which turned into ashes the next second, which might sound like something Reyne did, but that’s not the case, she indeed wanted to kill the guard, but she had controlled her battle aura to not burn the corpse, because she was going to seal it, like she did with the other three.

“So, I was right, you can’t seal them with absolute certainty indefinitely, at least for now, two seem to b4 the limit, more than that and you need to kill them before sealing them, good thing I destroyed my subordinate myself, otherwise I would have been in a tough spot”, the voice of the Bane Lord came from the remains of the crimson flame cloud.

Aslan’s figure was revealed the next second, his right palm which was pointed frontwards, was what stopped the stream of crimson flames coming from Reyne’s lance, and that didn’t make sense, because not only was the Bane Lord unscathed, but he didn’t even take a step back.

And at this point, it has been proved that Reyne’s nether is fierce enough to harm the Bane Lord, and its explosiveness is high enough to sent Aslan flying with enough of it, but then, the nelapsi girl who had a slightly confused expression on her pretty face, reached a realization, disgust flashed trough her red-green eyes as she glared at the hard to discern, ghost-like armor that was covering Aslan’s right arm, while the black coffin was floating at his side.

“Tsk, having given you my nether ended up being so annoying, to think you can even see through my living armor, I guess your affinity with death is stronger than what I thought”, cursed the Bane Lord, which made Reyne’s eyes move a total of six times, for a reason, Aslan’s arms, legs, chest and head, a total of six places now had that ethereal armor covering them.

And the nelapsi girl, who indeed was sensible to “death”, knew that Aslan was using six out of the seven spots he had for his elite undead, in other words, each piece of that phantom armor was an elite undead, refined through an specially not pleasing process, as in they were turned into undead and refined into amor while being alive.

“Like I said, a necromancer has a subordinate to deal with every possible situation, that being said… how dare you force a prince like myself to resort to attach these lowly beings to my body!!!”, Aslan whose anger shot through the sky, suddenly disappeared from where he was floating.

Reyne turned to the right almost instantly to then punch in the same direction, just in time for Aslan’s, clawed skeletal hand which had that phantom armor on it, to appear as it attempted to rip the nelapsi girl’s side.

“Clang!”, the phantom armor clashed with Reyne’s battle aura, resulting in sparks flying all over the area, both things were incredibly tough and scratched each other, leaving behind cut and burning marks as the result of their clash, respectively, the result was surprisingly a tie.

“Humph!”, Reyne snorted, since her fist wasn’t enough, she swept her lance at Aslan, who in response extended his free hand, to then take out a black bone spear similar to the one he was using earlier, however this one had that phantom armor which was created through an elite undead, surrounding it, in other words that was the seventh elite undead and the reason as to why he purposedly destroyed the elite guard a moment ago.

“Boooom!”, the nelapsi girl’s flaming lance, collided with Aslan’s black bone spear, which resulted in an energy explosion that engulfed those two, instead of the fight between a mage and a knight, it looked like two knights trying to savagely crush each other, something that naturally drew the attention the crazy girl, which made Reed who was shooting rains of arrows at Sarah while flying around, smirk as he said.

“What’s the matter, are you perhaps wondering why the innate ability used by that guy seems to be stronger than the one you stole from him being supposedly the strongest?”, naturally Sarah being Sarah, not only didn’t fall for Reed’s provocation, but countered by disdainfully answering.

“Oh, there is no mystery in that, the reason as to why those three innate abilities being the best you have, despite not having the “strongest” effects is easy, they don’t have side effects and have the highest potential out of them all, I had no prior no information about whatever that corpse bastard did, but I do know something… he is suffering a permanent loss to use that, in other words, it’s a flawed power, a result of his lineage being trash~”, the crazy girl’s words, rained on Reed’s parade, as he was going to resort to something like what Aslan was doing.

Of course, he was not going to explain that to do so, he had to pay a price, but now he was insulted indirectly, and since he had no choice but to still resort to such a thing, he was basically admitting that his linage was trash, like Aslan.

“God damn sharp-tongued bitch, Royal Black Corroding Prison Arrow!”, with a vein bulging on his neck, nether gathered from all over Reed’s Domain, to then be absorbed into his crown, before a black ominous arrow formed on his ancient armament bow.

But then, against what one would believe, Reed didn’t shoot that arrow at Sarah, but he instead aimed at the sky and the arrow turned into nether which was dispersed in the atmosphere, and now came the interesting sight of Reed letting go of his bow, which simply floated next to him, to then beckon at Sarah with both of his now free hands.

The crazy girl was instantly surrounded by the purple skull manifestation which floated behind of her, before she even had the chance to order it to do so, just in time for countless streams of neon pink flames to surge from all over the place, and land on the purple skull.

“Booooom!”, the air trembled as countless explosions which lasted for almost half a minute, engulfed the crazy girl, only then the barrage ended, revealing a Sarah who was unscathed but the purple skull was full of cracks, that was a really highly explosive barrage of attacks.

And, Reed already had another arrow placed on his bow, so the crazy girl instantly turned into a purple comet that shot itself at the Asmadian Lord, in order to interrupt him, however, the arrow actually dispelled without the need for Reed to even shoot it, and judging by his cruel smirk, he was expecting Sarah to charge at him, and purposedly made it look as if that arrow needed to be shot for it to be activated.

“Go to hell you crazy bitch!”, the Asmadian Lord pointed his hands at Sarah, and once again countless streams of neon pink flames manifested out of nowhere, to then all land on the incoming purple comet, shooting it down from the sky, all the way to the ground.

“Boooom!”, the sea of neon pink flames smacked the purple comet against the ground, causing a tremor that was accompanied by a huge nether explosion, and a triumphant smile from Reed.

“Stop hiding, I know that wasn’t enough to kill you, but I could still see that damn skull manifestation being destroyed twice already”, said the Reed from above, as expected that wasn’t enough to kill Sarah who with a wave of her hand, split the remaining sea of neon pink flames to then come out of it.

“Crack!”, the purple skull which had shielded her from Reed’s attacks, crumbled apart on the spot, a new one was formed the next second though, but it looked slightly thinner than the previous one, for a good reason, this technique Sarah was using, required a hell ton of battle aura in exchange for its incredible versatility, since it had many different applications as Sarah has shown so far, from attacking, to defending, to even storing and applying battle aura to her needles, it was a multipurpose battle aura manifestation, which perfectly represented the crazy girl who is skilled in many aspects.

Sarah grabbed one of the pieces of the purple skull which had crumbled apart a moment ago, she passed her fingers on its surface before crushing it with her right hand, the nether was absorbed into her body, making her pretty purple eyes shine for a second to then say.

“I see, so you are quite literally burning away some “precious memories” in exchange for some especially explosive lust flames, sounds like drinking poison to quench one’s thirst if you ask me~”, mockingly said the crazy girl.

‘Damn monster, she learned the concept behind my “Burning Pleasure” after being attacked by it just twice…’, thought Reed to then snort as a dozen of arrows appeared around him.

“You know the dynamic behind my innate ability, so what, I can always gather more pleasure, once I have taken your powers, I’ll go claim that mother of yours to make up for this loss!”, and with those cliché threatening words, which made Sarah chuckle as she was reminded of the scene of Bell being startled when the curse on her was cured by her with Daimon’s help, the crazy girl found herself surrounded by magic circles from every direction, because Reed used ten of those arrows at the same time.

‘Ah, the bliss of ignorance, if mom was here… you would have already been turned into minced meat~’, amusingly thought the crazy girl, who was then drowned in neon pink flames.

The previous scene made a certain light princess who was wielding a great sword to clash against a giant battle aura condensed sword, frown, her sisters who were originally suppressing their enemies with ease, were now being equaled by them, it was especially surprising to see it happen to Sarah though.

‘You okay, Jas?’, asked Narasha, who was experiencing being worried for a friend, outside of the soulmates for the first time, which made the light princess nod, white crystal armor which was cladding her, suddenly increased its brightness.

“Mm, I have to hurry and finish my fight so that I can help my sisters”, mumbled Jasmine, the strength on the light princess hands, actually increased which made Gram slowly but surely cut into the giant battle aura manifested version of Byron’s sword.

“What!”, exclaimed the Balax Lord as he saw the enemy’s great sword slicing his sword, Jasmine’s nether suddenly spiked in power, a result of her desire to protect those two, and that was enough to break the stalemate between his battle avatar’s defense and the light princess’s offense.

‘Damn it, to think that the weakest out of those three experiments, is forcing me who is the strongest among us to resort to a sacrifice type innate ability, that fucking shark bastard is dead once we reunite with our original halves!’, cursed Byron, with a wave of his hand, the left arm of his battle avatar turned into a stream of battle aura which was then absorbed by his crown.

“Royal Wrath Glorious Red Flow!”, with those words, the remaining right arm with which Byron’s battle avatar was wielding its giant sword, suddenly gained a darker tone, changing from the ethereal look that battle aura has, to much more real-like state, it was as if the arm of the battle avatar had gained flesh and skin.

But looks weren’t the important part, but the fact that the moment that flow of battle aura went into the right arm of the battle avatar, the pressure which Jasmine was going against, practically tripled.

“Crack!”, the ground below Jasmine cracked on the spot, she was pushed backwards almost instantly and what was worse is that Gram which had made its way almost half into the battle aura manifested sword wielded by Byron’s battle avatar, was also repelled as the battle aura of which the sword was made, also gained a much more realistic aspect.

Sparks flew as Jasmine held onto the Grams’s hilt with both of her hands, in a try to counter the increase of Byron’s brute force, but it wasn’t enough, after Byron could have also used both hands of his battle avatar to wield his sword, so if he gave one arm for this technique, then the result should be significantly stronger than just dual hand wielding.

That being said, the lack of an arm is a disgrace for a warrior and seeing the battle avatar which now only had its right arm, made Byron’s eyes become bloodshot, the glory he has accumulated through the constant victories over the challengers he has fought during so many years, was being consumed with each second that passed.

“Obediently hand over your life back to me, Royal Red Explosive Slash!”, the Balax Lord shouted as he slashed the giant manifested battle aura sword at Jasmine, releasing a half moon red slashing light which instantly created a deep rift on the ground of the throne room.

“Royal White Heavenly Slash”, with equal fierceness, the light princess slashed Gram at Byron’s martial art, the white nether clashed with the red nether, resulting in a thunder-like explosion, as both attacks sought to cut the other.

Unfortunately, Jasmine’s spell started to lose ground after a moment, and was ultimately divided in half by Byron’s martial art, which forced the light princess to dodge to the side, while using Gram to defend against the battle aura which was radiated by the red slash.

“Booooom!”, the giant red slash reached the other side of the throne room and left a deep scar into the gate, which was the toughest part of the room, having been specially reinforced to prevent the enemies from escaping.

‘Hey Jas, there is no need to use that white crystal protection on me, it would be better to use it on the armor’, said Narasha as she saw the white crystal layer which covered Gram’s blade, the light princess was protecting Narasha from the battle aura radiated by the slash.

“Crack!”, as a result, the white crystal protecting the armor which cladded Jasmine, started cracking, since it had defended against such a strong attack, speaking of which Byron slashed his sword once again, releasing a second giant red slash, before the stream of red battle aura was forced to become the previously missing arm of the battle avatar.

“You are already helping by diminishing the weight of the sword, so I can’t let you be harmed by that guy’s battle aura, besides, there is another reason for it”, said the light princess, the white crystal layer covering the Heavenly Paladin armor crumbled the next second, turning into countless light particles that were then absorbed by Jasmine, who exploded in white nether the next second.

“White Heavenly Retribution Slash!”, with a fierce voice which didn’t match her pretty face, Jasmine slashed Gram at the incoming giant red slash.

“Boooom!”, under Byron’s expression of disbelief, his martial art was instantly cleaved in half, and before he could react, a white line appeared on his battle avatar, all the way from the right shoulder to the left side of the lower abdomen.
