Chapter 316: Ancient oath (part 5)

Daimon looked at the notification in front of him and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

[Save the descendant of the daughter of the northern sky and keep her safe for the rest of the day]

[Reward: New oath with the host as the holder (the oath will be updated and adapted to the system), the concentration of the lineage will increase in a total of 5% as the host will be fulfilling one of the promises of the son of the northern sea]

[Penalty in case of failure: The oath will be eliminated from the inheritances hidden in the Drakolevia lineage forever]

[Completion rate: 100/100]

[Calculating results….]

[Ding]

[The mission has been completed]

[A new title has been awarded due to a specific action]

[New tittle unlocked: Promise of the northern sky]

[The host has successfully saved and kept the descendant of the daughter of the northern sky, alive, thus earning her gratitude, the host will now be granted the buff "Sanctuary", when in need of it]

[Sanctuary: Once a day, the host will be able to select full recovery of either, mana, battle aura, stamina, vitality, or heal any wound as long as the host is still alive (further development, requires the host to repair the broken trust caused by the failure of the previous holder of the oath)]

[Level of trust currently attained 10%]

[Black Armored Shark: 10à 15% concentration]

'Well, at least now I know what her ability is called like, and damn it is such a good support', thought Daimon as he dismissed the notifications.

He then noticed all the gazes of the girls on him, including the Risha sisters and Mellie who were asleep a second ago, but unlike what he expecting it wasn't due to Jasmine being sitting next to him on his bed, but because when the concentration of the Black Armored Shark lineage increased 5% in a single go, they were able to feel it.

Or more accurately they felt as if a magic beast suddenly appeared in the cave, thus waking them from their sleep.

"Sorry ladies, I just advanced a bit in something", he said.

"A bit you say, I have analyzed the most serious fight the crowned prince has had, against the young spear from the neo noble faction, and your lineage has caught up to his at his maximum output… the one who is considered the most talented member of the royal family in all the history of the kingdom", mumbled Mellie with a still hard to believe voice.

Her eyes were sparkling, the way she was looking at Daimon, was like a zoologist who has found a miracle magic creature of some kind.

And to a certain extent it was understandable, one does not simply increase the concentration of its lineage in half in a single go, all the main branches of the noble families, had a fixed concentration since the moment of their birth, and that increases during their life, or not, that's considered a part of one's talent.

If Daimon were to ask the queen, she'll give him an approximate saying that most of the nobles have a concentration between 3% to 5%, while the heads of the noble houses and their direct descendants are about 5% to 8%, while the minimum needed to receive a real benefit from one's lineage is 10%.

Now 2% might sound like not too much, but in this case is the difference between regular members of a race and those who unlock an innate ability, such as Mellie.

And now according to her, the crowned prince had long past that point by reaching about 15%, at such a young age, it was worth being noticed.

The reason as to why the king puts so much attention and resources into the development of the crowned prince, is that past a certain age if one hasn't reached a specific realm, the concentration will not go up ever again, at least not by natural means.

And the crowned prince has reached the concentration a peak Arch rank of a few couples of hundreds of years would have, in his 20's, in that sense no one was at his same level… until now at least.

That being said, Daimon didn't feel that much of a change, probably because the next "milestone" was at 20%, and he also had the Draklevia lineage, which was the ancient root of the Black Armored Shark lineage, so he was more focused on getting the best version of the latter's innate abilities, such as how the Commander of the sea, became Ruler of the sea.

Anyway, this wasn't the moment to be thinking on that, because right now, Jasmine was looking at him with a curious gaze on her pretty face, as a torrent of information appeared in her mind.

'You, why do I feel so calm around you… it's not like with that guy where I was lightheaded and slightly confused all the time, but a calm and safe feeling, similar to what it feels to have my grandmother around me, but different at the same time', she thought.

She had to admit that the previous she, would have been all over the silver haired youth, treating it like her "savior", but now after what she experienced, the wound in her heart was too deep for her to remain so innocent.

And that's what intrigued her the most, because the silver haired youth in front of her, wasn't even close to be as "attentive and affectionate" as Adam feigned to be, at least not with her, but the girl who was resting next to him on the other hand, had such a comfortable expression, that she couldn't help but feel a bit jealous in her heart, it was confusing.

Anyway, this was a battle that she had to fight for herself, from her previous "charming prince" mirage, to being in front of someone to didn't want to manipulate her, so after stealing a gaze at Daimon, she excused herself and returned to her side of the bed, with Mellie.

Not before she nodding at Daimon, and for the first time being able to deactivate her innate ability at will, which reminded Daimon of the explanation the Risha sisters gave him about their wings.

In their words, the way to use them simply popped in their minds out of the blue, the most accepted theory was that it was information codified in their lineage, which due to some kind of trigger, surfaced, and apparently something similar just happened to Jasmine.

After that little episode everyone returned to sleep, of course the Risha sisters noticed how close was Aisha to Daimon, but after giving her accusatory gazes they being looked at with mockery by their friend, they closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Daimon chuckled and then with his mother snuggling with him he also entered the land of dreams.

…

The rest of the night went uneventful for Daimon and the girls at least, but at many places within this underwater space which seemed limitless, roars, screams, explosions and the sound of weapons colliding could be heard.

A few minutes before the sun raised on the sky in the outside world, a large commotion exploded about three hundred kilometers from where Daimon was, but it was suffocated soon.

"Who the hell are, why are you attacking us!", shouted one of the subordinates of the young master of the Fire Jade sect, as he saw a tall horrendous sea monster munching on the corpse of what used to be their young master.

"He can't listen to you, so let me answer your question, it is because you guys didn't tell us where is that little princess of yours hiding", said a tall man with some a small amount of facial hair, who seemed to be in his middle twenties.

Around him there were a lot of battered corpses, some were gnawed at, or had dismembered parts, or were reduced to just a lump of blood paste, but all had something in common, they all belonged to males, while the women of the group were put in a large black cage which was transported by another strange looking creature.

The Deep Bottom Shredder suddenly grabbed the legs of the only male survivor and after the man who seemed to be on charge nodded, it tore them away, the scene was too bloody for a lot of the girls in the cage, to the point that some of them threw up while others looked away with pale faces.

Needless to say but the poor now legless guy screamed in pain, the man in charge then approached him and forced a pill into the guy's mouth, which to the latter's surprise stopped the bleeding and even replenished most of the vitality he lost.

"Normally you'd become food for my pets, but I think I have a better usage for you, I'll let you live, so that you go look for that little "compassionate" princess, go and tell her that if she doesn't want to see a lot of innocent women become magic beast's shit, she better come with me by her own will, I'll wait her at the only exit of this underwater space", said the man with a sinister smile.

"Ah right, my name is Ellemy Blackheart, my cousin is the captain of the Devil Stingray pirates".

After saying that, the two magic beasts grabbed one cage and they entered the mist that has spread through the whole place, disappearing a couple of seconds later.

The man who was trying to get away from this corpse filled place, as he knew it would attract magic beasts, suddenly felt a shiver running down his spine, followed by a hissing sound.

And he paled, not because of that sound but because of what followed, which were understandable words.

"Human, you smell like them, tell me where did your group brought my comrades and I'll let you live", from within the mist a brown serpent with some coral-like protuberances and water dripping from its body, emerged.

The previous voice came from it, meaning it had unlocked its wisdom, becoming wise and not just a magic beast driven by instincts, and that was even scarier for people from the four seas, because that meant they were in front of at least a Half Stellar rank creature eight out of ten times.

As the man was about to explain that he had nothing to do and was instead attacked by the pirates and sea magic beasts, the emblem of the Fire Jade sect appeared on his face and then his head exploded killing him at the spot.

The snake snorted in response to the scene that unfolded in front of it.

"Another one who chooses death over speaking, it is just as the Empress supposed, the humans had started to go after us since the honorable captain Silver got ambushed… even if I had to seal my powers to the Mortal realm, don't think I can't do anything to you humans, I general Karmandi will tear your flesh to appease the souls of my enslaved comrades".

With those last words, the snake melded into the mist, where a lot of different beast-like eyes could be seen.

Then after a few hours the already precarious situation in which the nobles and members of the sects from the Elemental Sea where, became even worse, previously there were practically zero magic beasts roaming around, and they only had to worry about the pirates and Skelefiends, but now packs of sea magic beasts which were able to move in dry land appeared out of nowhere and were killing or capturing everything in the spot.

Soon the day replaced the night, and just as Daimon expected, the mist didn't completely disappear, just as the previous situation finished, Rita who was in charge to see what happened at long distance, directly talked to Daimon's ears.

'Sorry to interrupt young master's sleep, but there is something I need to inform', she said with an apologetic voice.

'Oi you witch, the heavens better be falling for you to interrupt young master's quality time with the young misses!', as always, the enthusiastic bone general Horals, was a bit too into his role, which led to Rita fighting with him all the time.

'It's fine, what's the matter Rita?', said Daimon while he tightly held Aisha with his eyes still closed, the morning was freaking cold so cuddling with his mother and enjoying her warm was both addictive and a habit he has developed over the years at Lykos.

'Young master's suppositions were right, magic beasts had arrived and the situation has become even more chaotic, there are people dying and fighting basically at all times since a few minutes ago'.

Daimon inwardly nodded.

'Thanks Rita, keep an eye on those guys if they are within your range and tell me if something else happens'.

'Thanks for your kind words, young master~', said Rita before she returned to her silent self.

'Young master, let me go out, I'll kill a hundred enemies and present you their heads, by breakfast's time for your honorable self!', said Horals, making Daimon speechless.

'You have a more important job, just focus on that for the time being, in any case I don't think you'll have to stay hidden for too long, I can smell the powder in the air, the situation is about to explode and I'll need my subordinates ready for a war'.

'Understood, young master just has to say the word!', shouted Horals.
