Chapter 246: Setting sail

Back at the island where Daimon and the Risha sisters spent the night, the storm lasted the whole night and only when morning came the rain stopped, still the sky was quite clouded but the sea wasn't as agitated as before.

Inside the cave, Daimon who woke up against his will way earlier than what he normally does, was laying down with his eyes closed as he explored the new skill he learned when the strange curse the three limbed creature tried to cast on him bounced.

There was a new branch in the skill tree titled with a yellow notification symbol blinking on its corner,

[Anti-monster Arts]

[Curse Series: Diabolic Immolation (!)]

[Diabolic Immolation: Compresses the remaining mana and half of the vitality to create a concentrated attack, which will deal up to 500% the maximum damage the caster is currently able to deal, the ratio of success depends on the mental strength and luck of the target, compared to the caster, if the curse is successful the effect will be doubled, if not the caster would suffer a similar recoil (The side effect was modified due to a high life threat possibility)]

[Duration: Null] [Cooldown: 24 hours] [Price: Undefined (Half of the current vitality and all the remaining mana)]

'For a curse with such an imposing name, the side effect doesn't sound that horrible, that guy literally died even before he was consumed by Demon Light', thought Daimon after reading the description of the curse.

'Well not everyone can recover vitality by just eating like you, this curse was meant to take one's life in order to activate it, but the system wouldn't allow such a thing", said Evangeline with a calm voice.

But inwardly she was more than surprised, the system didn't rate the skill by grades, only levels, because they had an unmeasurable potential and the capacity to evolve, just like it happened to Overlord's Pride, its original effect wasn't even close to what it was now.

'That tittle again, a certain death condition became a mere recoil', she thought to herself.

"I guess I'll try it out later when I reunite with mom, just in case", mumbled Daimon, his vitality was originally abnormal and with "Flesh Conversion" he could recover at an even faster ratio, as long as he ate the flesh of other living beings of course.

So instead of a curse it became more like a high requirement spell, for him, Daimon didn't know it, but if the race to which the three limbed creature belonged were to know that one of their protected secret techniques was stolen and improved by an outsider after seeing it once, they would probably spit blood and then bang their heads against a wall to commit suicide.

"You know I can see you have been moving in circles at the entrance of my tent for the past ten minutes right, Leslie?", said Daimon as he slowly opened his eyes

"Why didn't you mention it earlier then you… ah no that's not what I wanted to say, we prepared the breakfast", mumbled Leslie with a slightly aggrieved voice.

Daimon chuckled, he woke up earlier than them, but that was only normal considering how tired they were, it was already praise worthy that they got up and prepared breakfast even for him.

He then stood up and after putting on his shirt which he took out before going to sleep, he came out of the tent, compared to yesterday the three Risha sisters looked completely recovered, they even moved the huge rock Daimon used to block the entrance of the cave, there wasn't any sunlight coming from the outside, but it was enough so that the small bonfire they lit up, had an outlet for the smoke.

Daimon's nose wrinkled a couple of times, the food they prepared smelled quite delicious, which was quite a surprise for him.

Liliana pouted as she noticed Daimon's surprised expression.

"Is it that hard to believe our food is good?".

Daimon smirked as he took a seat in front of them, where the dishes were placed on top of a flat rock which functioned as a table.

"Well, I certainly didn't expect you three to know how to cook, last time it was Aisha and Loren the ones who prepared the soup with the snake, Yvi was barely able to cut the mushrooms and she nearly dropped them twice".

Yvonne slightly blushed, it was true that previously she didn't know how to cook, so she was kindly asked to only help to cut some mushrooms to not cause a mess, but she wasn't the only one, Leslie and Liliana weren't skilled on that too.

Somehow their mothers caught a word of that, and the lesson of how to "seduce a man's stomach" was forcefully imparted to them the weekend previous to the exploration, as soon as they finished refining their respective resources of course.

"Ahem, I was just a bit nervous that time since I wasn't used to do it outside a kitchen… so how does it taste?", asked Yvonne with an expectant voice.

"It's pretty good", answered Daimon as he chewed a piece of grilled fish, those three caught earlier.

The three Risha sisters smiled and only then they dug in.

Once Daimon finished his meal, he stretched his body and then left the cave not without saying.

"The next time, you should wake me up instead, I have a lot of ingredients in my ring, so that you don't have to fish for nearly one hour… that being said, thanks for the breakfast".

The three Risha sisters blushed, they hoped Daimon didn't notice them, so that it would be a surprise, but this wasn't the moment for that, they could have been attacked by the creatures after all.

"I guess we should have saved it for later", mumbled Liliana.

"He liked the food though~", added Leslie.

…

While those three were gossiping inside the cave, Daimon inspected the island, despite the fierce storm that took place yesterday, only some trees were blown away, the rest was pretty much fine, he entered into the jungle until he reached a small hill with a cascade and a natural pool of freshwater.

Although the pool was barely one meter deep and the water was as clear as a mirror, he still inspected it with his mana sense and infinity eyes just in case, besides a few small fishes there was nothing else.

Daimon jumped into the water to take a small bath, the clothes he was wearing had a self-drying function and he didn't smell or anything, but it was a habit he developed thanks to Erin dragging him to the bathroom at every chance that presented.

Earlier he when he saw those three leaving the cave, he followed them using his mana sense, until they reached this area and started undressing to take a bath, and returned to the cave an hour or so later, the fish he ate was captured here too.

A couple of minutes later Daimon finished his bath and his clothes dried by themselves, he then walked towards the shore and took out the ship they stole from the creatures yesterday.

The three sisters approached Daimon and they got up the ship together, while they inspected the captain's cabin, Daimon went downstairs into the body of the ship, there was a clear division in what he supposed was the living area, which consisted in separated rooms.

But he didn't come here for that, something that caught Daimon's attention was that even the three limbed creature didn't have a storage ring, and there was nothing hidden in the captain's cabin as far as he knew.

And down here there were two more rooms besides the ones designated as bedrooms, both of them had formation engraved on their doors, which required some kind of key to open them.

Even from outside Daimon could feel the eerie sensation coming from one of them, what was the thing every living being needed the most, food, and what did the creatures eat, other living beings.

Daimon burned down the door with Demon Light and was welcomed by the grotesque scene, of bodies hanging from metal hooks, that being said there were only one or two and they belonged to the first years, of the human and vampire factions both of them were women, but no one he recognized or knew, so he didn't particularly care about it, as he was about to burn everything in the room, he saw another corpse which was hidden from plain view behind a curtain.

He cut down the curtain and his eyes contracted a bit, the corpse behind the curtain was completely different from any of the participants of the exploration.

This one was a male, its characteristics were the same of a human with the only exception that it had light blue skin, also it was wearing some strange clothes similar to robes, making it look like an erudite.

Daimon saw the Risha sisters entering the room but he didn't say anything, prior to the exploration he warned them that they were bound to see death up-close, and kill others, it was the law of the jungle.

That being said, he didn't know what to expect from the "food supply" of the creatures, luckily it wasn't as bad as he expected, apparently, they didn't eat female as soon as possible, unlike that poor bastard who only left some bones behind at the first island in which Daimon rested.

Although their stomachs didn't give in, they didn't stay in the room and left a few seconds later, Daimon used his mana sense to inspect the guy's corpse and to his surprise, it took him some effort to see what was below the skin.

'Reinforced muscles and bones, these guy's race is perfectly in line to be a knight… the question here is, from where did he come', thought Daimon, something that called his attention was that his magic core was gone, probably the creatures took it, to use it for something.

With a wave of his hand, white flames flooded the room and burned everything, Daimon didn't plan to use any of the things here, but the space might come handy later, since this ship was the only transport that seemed to be available for now.

He then went upstairs and joined the Risha sisters at the captain's cabin.

"Did you ladies discovered how to drive this thing?".

Yvonne nodded as she approached a panel with a compass and a rudder attached to it.

She placed her hand on the compass and then rolled it a couple of times, making the ship to come to life, the runes on the wood walls illuminated.

"Where are we heading to?", she asked.

Daimon was about to point at the west area of the compass, when the badge came out of his pocket on its own and floated right above the south area of the compass.

"Well, I guess we'll head to the south".

"Mm", Yvonne nodded and then let got of the compass and then the ship started advancing towards their destination.
