Chapter 527 Back just in time

Once the exchange between Daimon and Evangeline ended, Narasha took over since she also had something to discuss.

Daimon could "feel" her hesitating, meaning she actually had something important to say, but didn't know how to say it, Narasha was still quite stiff when it came to human emotions, which is understandable as it took her eight years to understand what it meant to become Daimon's soulmate.

Previous to that, she herself mentioned that she wouldn't mind to fulfill night "duties" with the master she chooses, if she had a body, she knew about such things as Disaster had devoured the memories of those guys that created the special magic ore that was used to create the capricious sword.

But now she felt ashamed of her own words, especially since she has seen Daimon "rolling on the bed" with Erin and the others.

'What's the problem?', asked Daimon.

After a few seconds of silence, Narasha's voice could be heard by Daimon.

'I was wondering if you are planning to use that sword you got from that guy...', she said in a low voice.

Daimon was momentarily speechless at the fact that he noticed a slight tinge of jealousy in Narasha's voice, that being said he inwardly celebrated it, as it meant that she has progressed.

According to Evangeline, once per tome, the grimoire will get its owner something they need, in other words, the grimoire will help them overcome their "flaws", but there were requirements for that, alternatively they will get it once they reach a step prior to the next rank that the current tome covers.

For Erin and Aura, it came in the form of the skills that fused with their Domains, which were the third skills that Aisha, Liz, Elaine and Narasha were lacking as they haven't fulfilled the requirements needed, nor have reached the Half Emperor realm.

But enough of that, the point is that unlike Aisha, Liz and Elaine who aren't sure what will their grimoires grant them, Narasha does know it, she'll obtain a physical body, which is understandable as the main trait she obtained is the ability to transform into Gram, so transforming abilities aren't something new to her.

For that, understanding emotions is the requirement she knows about, it can't be forced and has to be natural, which is why Daimon was actually happy that she was "jealous".

That being said, he already had the answer to the question she made, for which he took out the Adam's sword from his inventory, holding it with his left hand, while he also took out Disaster... no, Gram out from the inventory and wielded it with his right hand.

'Daimon?', before Narasha could say anything else and under Jasmine and the other's surprised eyes, Daimon casually slashed the Adam's sword down with all his might.

"Clang!", the sound of metals colliding echoed through the dimensional tunnel as Gram's edge clashed against Adam's sword, a blinding white light was produced by the confrontation.

'Come, my Narasha is fierce enough to destroy that idiot's lame sword, show it, that your light is the brightest!', inwardly shouted Daimon.

Ever since he has used the identity of "Gabriel" in Neptune, he has used Disaster as his weapon, but now he was now using Gram which is Narasha's ability, not only because Disaster is dormant to process Karla's nether, but because his instincts told him this would be beneficial for her.

'Mm!', with an enthusiastic sound from Narasha, Gram suddenly overpowered Adam's sword's light, making cracks appear on it, until Gram actually cut through Adam's sword.

"Crack!", the defeated sword crumbled apart into white pieces of metal, that soon were deprived of any light and color, turning into scrap in comparison, Gram was literally shinning, forcing everyone to keep their eyes half closed.

Daimon had to send it to the inventory, not only because of the previous, but because Narasha's consciousness was sleeping.

'Now that's the Narasha I know, you would never lose to Disaster', thought Daimon as he saw the pieces of scrap that used to be Adam's sword which were now turning into orange powder to then be scattered through the dimensional tunnel.

"That was a promise level treasure, it could have grown alongside you, even if you wanted to keep that strange being inside that sword, you could have transferred her consciousness to a new vessel you know...", the angel girl Ariel couldn't help but speak after seeing the previous scene unfold in front of her, there certainly were growing type magic treasures out there, like Disaster appeared to be.

But promise level items not only were growing type treasures, but also had other abilities and benefits, and yet she couldn't feel an ounce of regret on the silver haired youth.

"My Narasha won't be limited to some "creator" whims, she is free to create her own path", said Daimon with a pride filled voice, the fragment of Laplace took the form of the grimoire that best suited her, in other words, Gram is part of her own path, which is why he won't try to move her consciousness to a promise treasure, not he will change her for another sword.

Ariel remained silent after listening to Daimon's answer, she wasn't exactly talkative after all, that being said she seemed more willing to interact than when she was with Adam, as she has been asking questions by herself quite often.

As for why Daimon didn't use the trident as fuel for Narasha, that's because of the relation between it and Karla, it was the promise magic weapon that her host used, it might be useful later on, not to mention it went along quite well with Neptune, which is a mostly aquatic planet.

...

Aurora and Abaris both turned into a white and a black flash that clashed on the sky, before they raised above the clouds.

'Tell Aurora to keep that guy occupied, but to prepare for a real battle... I don't have time to explain but tell her we'll be leaving to the Mermen Sea after I finish doing something, and there is a big surprise waiting for her', said Daimon through the mental link.

'Okay, I almost thought you weren't going to arrive in time for the royal ball, there would have been many angry girls at you if that happened, darling~', answered Aisha, making Daimon softly laugh.

Returning to reality, and listening to Rita's report, Daimon couldn't help but smirk.

"Perhaps this is part of what I stole from that idiot, however I bet he wouldn't have known what I know", he mumbled.

They appeared right above the center of the Elemental Sea, where the Light Palace and Black Fortress's main territories were.

"Rita, can you locate any kind of prison or other isolated place inside the Black Fortress's castle, without anyone noticing it?", asked Daimon to which the undead head maid immediately answered.

"No problem, Daimon!", Rita's senses then focused on the area below them, she easily bypassed the barriers that were isolating the forces from the two big factions, to then reach the white castle first.

It didn't even take a minute for Rita to finish seeing what was happening inside the white castle, so then she changed her focus to Abaris's castle, luckily, she didn't have to look too much into it.

There inside of a cell, using black metal chains, was Sylvie sitting on the simple bed that came with the cell, outside of it, there was the female disciple of Abaris, glaring at Sylvie.

"Have you considered our offer, if you testify against that little bastard, then you'll be free to go, this time your master was one step too late to save you, so do yourself a favor and give in", she said.

Sylvie who though was unable to use her mana, still was wearing her white dress and robe, not to mention was perfectly fine, snorted.

"Little Jas's smile has returned thanks to that kid, there is no way I will do anything that will disturb that, not to mention I personally don't believe he'll steal something from you, knowing him, you'll be giving away what he wants by your own will", said Sylvie before she returned to be silent.

'Tsk, arrogant bitch, let's see how you keep that act once that old woman concedes', thought Abaris's disciple as she left the prison, closing the door behind of her.

This room was prepared to trap anyone with light related affinity, the floor, walls and even the roof were covered with a layer of darkness mana crystals, and the darkness mana was so abundant that the room was really dark, despite it being still day.

"Mm?", Sylvie, whose eyes were closed, suddenly noticed a black portal appearing on the wall in front of her, from which Daimon followed by the girls, came out.

To Sylvie's surprise a portal opened right where the bars of her cell where, allowing her to easily come out.

"Aunt Sylvie, are you alright?", asked Jasmine with a worried voice as she saw the black chains around Sylvie's arms, legs and neck.

"Rita, of you'd do the honors please", said Daimon to which Rita nodded from within his shadow, creating a black portal that led to a "obscure" area of the citadel.

"Senior Aurora will remove those chains for you... everyone but Sarah enter the portal", he said, making the crazy girl smile from ear to ear, while Reyne and Jasmine looked unconvinced.

"We'll be joining you in a second", added Daimon, Jeanne and Emily crossed through the portal followed by Jasmine, Reyne and Sylvie, not without the latter whispering something at Daimon, whose eyes glowed behind his mask.

The portal closed, leaving only Daimon, Sarah and of course Rita, behind, without the boosting effect of Kerrol, Rita had returned to be a peak stage Archmage, but she kept the capacity to use Space Shift, and the ability to share her senses with Daimon, not to mention that she could feel her advance coming her way, just a little push and she'll become a Half Emperor.

Anyway, the following didn't require a high realm, otherwise Abaris would have managed to do it, a long time ago.

"I love staying with you relatively alone in a dark prison room for sure, but wouldn't it be better if we went with little Jas?", asked the crazy girl as she observed the cell, who knows what imaginary scenarios were blooming in her mind.

Daimon shook his head in response as he said.

"Unless senior Aurora and old Vincent join hands, we can't get rid of Abaris definitely, but there is a much simpler way to inflict him pain... we'll simply take something he values as much as his own life".

Sarah licked her lips as she approached Daimon to lean on his shoulder to whisper at him.

"And that's why I can't stay away from you~".
