Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Chapter 600: Challenges Daimon & Nethereal sisters, Sarah’s version (part 7)

Up in the sky, being dragged by a meteor-like current of battle aura, Bryan who had actually fainted for a second, suddenly opened his eyes as his survival instincts kicked in

"Haaaaa!", with a loud shout and an explosion of nether, he forcefully escaped from the stream of battle aura which was about to crash against the peak of a mountain.

"Boooom!", a moment later the stream of battle aura landed on the mountain, making it explode into debris, it was as if a giant hammer had descended from the sky upon the mountain, crushing it as if it was nothing.

Bryan whose body was battered with half his face, right arm and a part of his chest gone, panted in pain, his eyes were bloodshot as he realized that if he reacted even a second later, there wouldn't have been anything left from him.

'Damn it, what the hell kind of technique was that!', he inwardly cursed as his body started regenerating with the help of his nether, at this point it's clear that lust is the focus of his nether, but unlike Purplehaze who was obsessed with Jasmine, Bryan had no specific target.

An interesting characteristic of those whose nether had lust as a core base, was that they could heal themselves to a certain point, due to the aspect of "vanity" their nether helped them maintain a young appearance and good physical state similar to what happened with the Lamia matriarch that regained her youth, back at Draim.

"Still, such a strong martial art should have used a lot if not all of her battle aura, her reserves must have hit rock bottom now", he said as he changed into a new set of clothes to hide the ugly scars that he had to leave on his arm and chest, since he didn't want to use too much nether, he did completely fix his face before flashing towards Amber.

Far away from the battlefield, Sheilla inwardly let out a sigh of relief after seeing Bryan surviving after being hit by the strongest technique of the enemy.

'I hate to admit it, but that guy is indeed worth bringing to the Lord's side, the others were finished once those colorful women went all out, but he survived and he has the high ground now', thought the enemy queen just for her to be brought back to the real world by Daimon's voice.

"He survived the enemy's strongest attack so he has the advantage now, is that what you are thinking?", he said with a smirk.

Sheilla snorted, she already scanned the tanned woman after she used that meteor-like martial art, and her battle aura reserves had the size of a fingernail as of current, so she didn't say anything and instead prepared to block any try from the masked youth to save that tanned woman, not without thinking.

'My lord will give her corpse a "nice" use'.

Back at the battlefield, Bryan arrived at Amber's vicinity, he used his mana sense to scan her and confirmed that her battle aura reserves extremely diminished after that attack, which made him smile to then flash towards her, appearing a few meters away from her.

"Pressure Break!", Bryan pointed his right palm at Amber and a large stream of pressure was shot at short distance.

Seeing Amber not using her aura armor, made Bryan reaffirm his conclusion that Amber had used too much of her battle aura earlier.

'Damn, did I put too much strength into that attack...', he thought only to see the pressure current passing through "Amber", who then dissolved into light tendrils, making Bryan snort as he looked at north around a whole kilometer away from the previous position where Amber used to be.

"No battle aura used and yet such a fast speed, you were actually a speed type knight, perhaps that tough physical body is an innate thing, I should have guessed it when I saw a knight moving like that earlier", he said.

The only times when he could find an opening to attack Amber, was when he used his pressure mana to accelerate himself, luckily, he could do it without chanting, to keep the image that he was faster than Amber.

However, the current Amber surpassed let alone how fast he could move, but even his reaction time.

'Luckily, she has no battle aura left to use martial arts, otherwise it would have been troublesome if she attacked me at such high speed', he thought to then be brought back to the real world by Amber's voice.

"Is that all?", the tinge of boredom behind the tall tanned girl's voice, made Bryan grit his teeth, he could tell that this time Sarah wasn't involved, in other words, it was Amber the one who took the initiative to show disdain towards him, this time.

And that is a lot to say, considering that throughout the fight she hasn't shown any noticeable emotion, she was rather indifferent even when she was attacked by the curse marks, which is something Bryan found interesting, because it made him look up for the moment she couldn't "keep up" that composed front.

"I must admit, that your current "exotic" appearance made me hesitate for a moment but...", Bryan's previously smiling face took a 180° into a twisted angered expression as he added.

"You nearly killed me earlier, bitch, so don't even think on having a good end, I will take my time to make the most out of that tough body of yours".

Nether overflowed out of Bryan's body, changing a few more patches of his hair to an inked black tone, to then make a seal with his hands by pressing his palms together.

"Black Lock", he said, the other five shark bite marks on Amber, turned black, then they suddenly expanded turning into black nether shark heads, similar to the ones that emerged from Bryan's palms, but these ones were biting Amber's body, restraining her where she was standing, that and they were the size of a person each.

Amber frowned as she looked at the black nether shark heads that weren't trying to pierce her skin, but instead were keeping her in place, making Bryan smirk.

"Don't bother trying to get them off, I released all the energy in the marks, so they aren't curses anymore put simple yet incredibly tough energy chains, with some extra "surprises" added to them", he said.

"That's what you get for being a frigid bit...", his words stuck midway in his throat, as the smoke was instantly dispelled to reveal a perfectly unscathed Amber who hadn't moved even a millimeter from the place where she was standing.

In comparison, the ground behind had her standing shape carved into it, as she blocked the attack from affecting it in the slightest.

"I-Impossible, didn't you say you weren't a defense type knight!", shouted Bryan in disbelief, earlier he could accept Amber not being harmed by his attacks, since she dodged with her insanely high speed.

Then the attack that landed on her was legitimately weak in terms of impact in exchange for its wide range, but now he practically put everything he had into that blast and Amber was perfectly fine, what made him panic the most is that even now, he didn't feel any battle aura being radiated from Amber.

In other words, she... took his attack head on, just with her bare body.

"I also remember saying that your attacks weren't strong enough to even shake me", casually said Amber to then stretch her body, easily destroying the black nether shark restrictions that were still strongly attacked to her body.

Bryan's brain suffered shortcut, there was still enough energy into the restrictions for them to safely last at least a whole three to five minutes more.

'S-She was never restricted to begin with, she allowed herself to be attacked, but why...', wondered Bryan just to see the corner of Amber's mouth slightly move upwards, with mockery.

"Let me tell you a little secret, I might fall short a minor realm as of current, but I don't see myself losing even against Lance, I'm the strongest out of all my sisters after all", she proudly said, while stealing a gaze in Daimon's direction.

'What the hell are you waiting, take me out of here, if she is the strongest, I should be able to deal with the other!', yelled Bryan at Sheilla in secret, to then use his own nails to open bloody wounds on his wrists, from which blood that had a tinge of white color mixed into it, flowed.

"Shooting Star!", the white blood evaporated into light tendrils and Bryan turned into a blind light that shot towards the horizon, escaping from the battlefield.

Sheilla reacted at the same time, she snapped her fingers and a bunch of different portals opened, this is the counter she came with, after seeing Daimon somehow blocking the portal she opened to save Purplehaze earlier.

'There is no way you can't block all of them, I'm using the power from the Lord while you have no backer!', she exclaimed in her heart.

And technically she was right, Rita might not have shown it, but it took quite a bit of the undead head maid's mana to obstruct the portal created with the power of a nethereal Lord, she is only a half step Stellar after all, if she went all out and revealed herself, she might be able to pull it off, but Daimon calmly told her to not do anything until he said so.

Bryan who had nearly reached one of the many portals, heard a nightmarishly indifferent voice ringing in his ear.

"Reverse".

Then the imposingly tall figure of Amber, blocked his path, forcing him to stop his secret technique because he saw how his all-out attack didn't make her flinch at all, so he was afraid that clashing with her at high speed would only result in his own body exploding into a bloody mix of broken flesh and bones.

"What the hell are you!", he shouted as he released a desperate barrage of nether attacks, spending till the last drop of nether he had, to the point that he lost the black color from his hair, at the same time he forcefully burnt the leftover white blood to activate his escaping technique a second time, also losing the white color from his hair, returning to his original blue hair.

Seeing the smokescreen created by countless nether attacks as well as the blind light that enveloped Bryan, getting far away, Amber casually said.

"Reverse", her image flashed and the next second she had appeared above Bryan, whose face twisted before he was shot downwards.

"Aghhh!", Bryan who found himself unable to escape from whatever which was attacking him, vomited blood feeling his chest tear apart, his eyes rolled backwards and he was dead before he reached the ground, strangely there was no impact or explosion, despite the huge strength that should have been needed to make him fall from the sky.

Now imagine Sheilla's face, when a black portal opened below his body, she nearly lost it.

"How dare you!", she yelled at Daimon, the portals she opened closed on the spot and the nether used to make them, turned into a stream that aimed at Amber, directly attacking her.

Just for Daimon to snort in response, he stopped holding back the fierce black sea emblem which has been trying to come out of his pocket, since the enemy queens had been playing tricks.

"Boom!", the black rune shark intercepted the nether stream and both cancelled each other in the air, that being said, Sheilla felt her chest tighten at the sight of her Lord's nether being nullified with such ease.

Earlier when Yvonne did it, it was still understandable because the amount was really small as it was what was given to Purplehaze, however in this case she used nearly half of what was given to them to make those portals, so there was a world of difference.

The black sea emblem casually flew back to Daimon's pocket, ignoring the enemy queen who was lost, wondering to whom did it represent.

'It projected a shark with runes, could it be that the masked guy is that old guy's trump card... no the Lords would have known if that was case, so what is going on, it there perhaps another force involved in war!', she inwardly exclaimed as she raised her guard against Daimon.
