Chapter 174: The night before returning (part 5)

With the exception of Erin which had fulfilled her commitment and Aisha who won the monster servant, the other girls weren't that happy but then they all seemed to have the same idea.

"I just need to find one bastard to exchange for a material", they thought.

The only one which didn't follow the same pattern was Narasha, because even if she left the inventory, in her current sword form a monster servant wasn't really helpful for her, if anything she wished to get her own body.

"Ahem, don't worry ladies, I don't think there will be a shortage of enemies, so you will all get one, mom which of the monster servants do you want?", he said as he showed Aisha the list of servants available.

[Servants Available: Hellhound, Elemental Golem, Harpy, Blood Bat, Two-headed Fish, Iron turtle (Each monster servant can only be created once and will start as a chrysalid)]

"Can you see the details of the servants, darling?", asked Aisha with a dubitative expression.

Of course, if she was given the chance to choose first, she wanted to take the best decision, there was a "friendly" competition between all the soulmates ongoing, to be Daimon's first after all.

Unfortunately, Daimon shook his head in negation, these "emotion" skills were a mysterious even to Evangeline, although they weren't irregular skills like core synchrony, apparently, they weren't in the data base of the system.

"No, they don't have one".

"Mm", Aisha carefully read the names of the servants a couple of times, trying to discern any difference between them, before giving up and just choosing what she thought would suit her the best.

"I want the blood bat, I'm still a vampire… mostly".

Daimon chuckled; he couldn't help but steal a gaze at the soulmate tab where his mother's basic information was recorded.

[Aisha Silverheart]

[Race: High Vampire/???]

[Age: 22 years old (Age adapted to be more compatible with the contractor)]

[Emotional status: Happy/In Love]

[Current Bond: Lover]

He nodded and then clicked on the desperation creator skill before selecting the blood bad servant. Which triggered a notification from the system.

[One material will be consumed; do you wish to proceed with the creation of "Blood Bat" Y/N]

After confirming it, the notification disappeared and then a few centimeters in front of him a small magic circle formed by a series of different geometrical figures appeared glowing in yellow light, once the magic circle disappeared a hand sized blue crystal with an emblem which looked like a bat appeared in Daimon's hand.

Daimon curiously inspected the thing in his hand.

[Blood Bat Chrysalid: Contains the essence of the monster servant "Blood Bat", it must be nourished with the mana of the one that will be its master, to tie it just let a drop of blood fall on it (Only the soulmates are fit to own the servant, besides its master only the host can control it)]

He handed the crystal to Aisha which immediately bit the tip of her finger to let a drop of her blood fall on it, then the crystal surprisingly disappeared leaving behind the same bat emblem on the backside of Aisha's left hand, before a notification appeared.

[The link has been stablished, the blood bat can be stored in the contact crest, nourish it with your mana to hatch it (the servant will be helpful the very moment it materializes)]

[Remaining hatching time 24 hours (The conversion ratio is 10 mana points per every minute of hatching)]

"Damn!", Daimon couldn't help but swear at the amount of mana that the thing needed to hatch, a day had 1440 minutes which multiplied per 10 gave a result of 14400, that meant Aisha had to inject 14400 mana points in the crystal.

Back then when Daimon was an early-stage novice mage, he had a reserve of 3000 mana points, but he was an abnormality which's mana pond used to be about one hundred times bigger than his peers, reaching a state in which it's nearly impossible for him to run out of mana, because even if his magic core doesn't actively allow him to absorb mana to advance, it passively replenishes any mana spent by him.

That doesn't mean he can cast spells infinitely, there is a limit as to how much the body of a mage can handle manipulating mana within a period of time.

What surprised him was that the blood bat will have more than four times the amount of mana reserves he had when he was a novice mage, although for the current Daimon that amount wasn't that much, after some years he has more or less deduced the amount of mana points common mages have in their realms.

A normal peak one-star mage has about 6000 mana points, and the amount doubles per every realm it goes up, similar to how the strength of a knight doubles witch each advance, of course there are variances, depending on race, talent, body constitution and the like.

Anyway 14400 mana points for a newborn magic beast was a simply outrageous, on the other hand it could be possible for the beast to have a higher start, for example although is rare, there are magic beasts which are born at the novice mage realm.

"I guess we'll have to wait to see what will be the strength of the thing", he thought.

The contract crest in the backside of Aisha's hand could be hidden or shown according to what she wanted, so there won't be any problem to keep it a secret to be used only if needed.

Also, the 24 hours of hatching was a countdown, although it only advanced if Aisha injected mana, even if she finished nourishing the blood bat, she will still have to wait for the respective amount of time to pass.

Leaving the monster servant matter aside, there was another thing Daimon wanted to discuss with the girls, what would the life-saving treasure he will be giving his classmates will be.

To begin with most of the items sold by the shop of the system are only usable for the host and the soulmates, which limits the options, after surfing through the catalog, Daimon reduced the possible options to three:

[Talisman of the silent protector: It allows the host to place a hidden seal on the target, which will protect it for ten minutes against enemies one bigger realm above the target's one, or for one minute against enemies two big realms above of it, the effect will activate automatically if the life of the target is endangered past a certain point, additionally the one with the seal will be able to feel the approximate location of the host, as long as the seal hasn't been consumed (If used, other items provided by the system won't be available for the target)]

[Price: 1,200,000 coins]

[Gauntlet of flare: A piece of armor which can block attacks up to five times, after the first usage a signal of help which can only be detected by the host will be triggered (If used, other items provided by the system won't be available for the target)]

[Price: 500,000 coins]

[Stone pendant: This accessory will project a barrier around the body of the one wearing it, the barrier will protect it against attacks up to two big realms above the one wearing for five minutes, but the wearer won't be able to move while the barrier is up If used, (If used, other items provided by the system won't be available for the target)]

[Price: 800,000 coins]

This time everyone looked at Aura for her opinion, out of all the girls she was the one with the highest amount of battle experience after all.

Aura's current contemplative expression would have been serious if it weren't for the fact that she was naked and her cute wolf tail was wagged from time to time.

After thinking about it for a couple of minutes she decided for the first option, of course she explained her reasons.

"The talisman is the best option, you can make it look like some kind of tracing magic so that they wouldn't get cocky thinking they are being protected, also the fact that it activates without the need of them doing it manually is probably the reason as to why it's so expensive, although the time of protection isn't that big, the best way to deal with mages are ambushes which will be useless with this talisman".

Daimon nodded, Aura's words were quite accurate, it's easier to avoid a spear in the light than an arrow in the shadows, also the idea wasn't to go looking for the others as soon as the exploration started, with the exception of Aisha for personal reasons and Dana for business purposes.

Everyone will have to go through their own tribulations to become strong, with this talisman Calvin and the others will have the chance to go looking for him if needed and also venture themselves while also having a life saving grace, although they would not know about it.

With a thought Daimon bought twenty of the talismans and stored them in his inventory, due to the tracking function he will only give them to his classmates once they are about to enter the magic ruin.

That was the last thing in today's list, so Daimon was about to tell Aisha, Liz and Aura to return to their respective rooms, since tonight was still part of the time he owed to Erin and Elaine, but seeing their adorable needy expressions he chuckled.

"You three can stay but we'll go to sleep… tomorrow the tournament will start, we have to leave early and it's already past midnight".

Surprisingly Erin didn't complain, she instead smirked before saying.

"Since Daimon will be leaving the next week, then I hope you don't mind me paying a visit during the next days".

Having reached an agreement, all the girls cuddled with Daimon, they closed their eyes and entered the land of dreams.

Daimon sent a message through one of his many lectors before joining them.

"I can't wait to see that bastard's reaction tomorrow", he thought as he inwardly laughed.
