Noticing the movements next to her, Aisha's pretty amethyst eyes slowly opened, she then brightly smiled as she saw Daimon had woken up already.
"And here I was thinking you were going to keep sleeping until tomorrow", she jokingly said, to which Daimon chuckled.
"I had another of those dreams", he mumbled, Daimon suddenly remembered that the past dream came to him only after his black Sea Emblem devoured other emblems, but he hasn't given it any others, and to prevent the little thing from trying to snatch them away, he kept the incomplete emblems in the inventory.
'Don't tell me...', Daimon opened the inventory just to see that as he expected, the incomplete Devil Emblem he recently got was gone.
Daimon sighed, his Sea Emblem acted on its own, but so far it has helped him when it was needed, to be honest he was going to give the Devil Emblem to it anyway, because his instincts told him they were trouble.
Also, it is worth mentioning, that after his black emblem had eaten enough mana crystals, it didn't try to go after the other emblems, but immediately reacted to the Devil One.
"Whatever I guess the result would have been the same, it's hard to believe this little thing managed to snatch the emblem away from another slot of the inventory though", mumbled Daimon as he took out his black emblem.
The rune shark was still there like always, but the had gotten for vivid, it was still unclear whether his was a complete emblem or not, because not only he can't use it to make contracts like others, but he can't see or use its ability like Vincent or Aurora who own a complete one too.
But at the same time, it doesn't look like an incomplete one, as it has manifested some abilities, like acting as a compass or protecting Daimon and the others back at the dimensional tunnel that brought them to the second layer of Neptune.
Daimon knew things will be solved at the Global Raid, otherwise an emblem wouldn't be needed to participate on it, so he put the matter at the back of his head for the time being.
He looked at the room, the lights were dimmed down and the girls were all having a nice rest, well, almost all of them, as he could see a pair of purple eyes glowing in the dark, which of course belonged to Sarah, who was observing him, from the bed she was sharing with her mother.
The door of the room suddenly opened and Aurora came from outside.
"We arrived, I asked Underwood to make sure there wasn't anyone in the nearby area, he'll let us know if someone comes this way", she said.
Daimon nodded, their destination was the area at the border of the continental mass of the Elemental Sea, near the territory of the Bamboo Forest sect, where the map that the ring which Aurora handed Daimon, supposedly located something left behind by the hero.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)
Luckily Aurora was skilled enough to use an optical illusion spell to cover the whole Flying Citadel, otherwise a silver metallic floating large object would of course stand out, especially at night.
So right now, they were floating above the border of the continent, without being noticed, Daimon got up from his bed and so did Aisha and the others.
Now that Akim who was what was making Aurora stay in the Citadel, has been dealt with, she could also accompany them, so the others could go explore together with Daimon.
Speaking of Akim, the Nethereal had finished shedding the pieces of the black material, which Remi was now respectfully handing over to Daimon in a ring, not only that but Akim had already gotten back his body.
There was a difference though, while his powers didn't diminish, the bizarre characteristics he had were gone, he was now in the black mist stage like Roger or Fabio, despite the fact that his existence is still linked to his core, instead of his body like those two, and his new appearance was that of a middle-aged man in his forties with short brown hair and beard, an average look that won't stand out.
Also, he was properly interrogated in the past hours by Remi and Aurora, unfortunately he didn't know much about the scheming guy, supposedly, only Garrius has gotten to directly speak with it.
But he did have some valuable information, worth of his strength as a high stage Stellar rank, which is the fact that he could recognize the draw Bell made of Reed's appearance, or more accurately a part of it.
The crown face to be more exact, apparently it was slightly similar to the symbol which is engraved on Garrius mask, but it wasn't the same, according to Garrius that mask was given to him by the Lord, so it could be said that it is the scheming guy's banner, or something like that.
Without a second of delay, Daimon used blink to appear next to Jasmine, but he was a millisecond too late, as she was taken away by a sudden ray of light that appeared out of nowhere.
For Daimon it was as if the world slowed down, he activated Core Synchrony and his mind accelerated thanks to the increase in his realm, at least enough for him turn to see Aisha and manage to send her a message before another ray of light transported him too.
'We'll be fine, stay calm and follow the previously stablished plan, if I can't get the legacy I'll return in exactly 24 hours, otherwise it means I'm working to get it, you'll know if I'm in trouble', he said.
'Mm, I'll take care of everything darling~', Aisha's confident answer, along with her pretty smiling face were the last things Daimon managed to hear and see, before everything went blank for him.
Those rays of light were actually only visible for Daimon, even Aurora couldn't react in time before they had already disappeared, so of course when she saw realized they were gone, she frowned, but then calmed down after listening to Aisha say.
"She and Daimon were transported, don't worry they will be fine, if the legacy isn't obtainable, they'll be back in a day, if not it might take more, I can tell if there are troubles in which case... we'll tear down this place to the ground if needed".
Aurora nodded, with Daimon going along with Jasmine, she felt at ease.
"Mm?", everyone turned to see Bell who had a confused expression on her face as she said.
"Where is Sarah?", she asked, which made the girls look around only to notice the crazy girl was gone as well, Aisha couldn't see what happened earlier, she only heard Daimon's message before she couldn't feel his presence here anymore, so she didn't know if Sarah was taken with them too.
'Could it be...', she thought.
...
While Aurora and the others looked for Sarah and stablished a small camp, since some will be staying behind to watch over this place, at an unknown location there was a large magnificent white tent settled in the middle of nowhere.
The peace of the place was suddenly interrupted by the angered voice of a man in his teenage years.
"Ahhh damn it, this is so boring, Ariel can't you at least bring one of them while I'm stuck here, I'm sick and tired of only training all the time!", shouted a blond-haired man who was laying down on a large bed, which was obviously not meant to accommodate a single person.
"Not my problem, play with your hand if you are that bored", the uninterested voice of a girl came from an empty space near the roof of the tent, before the figure of a young girl wearing white and golden clothes with a small pair of light wings on her back was revealed.
These two were none other than the Light Hero Adam, and the administrator of his system, that angel girl called Ariel, who Daimon managed to see before.
The angel girl ignored the angered and dangerous eyes of Adam, and then pointed outside of the tent.
"It's finally starting, so if you still want this, then start moving, it seems more than one people came here, but I can't track nor see who they are, probably a limitation due to the mission", said the angel girl before her figure faded away.
"Finally, God damn it, I was about to drop this "gift" and leave, what kind of stupid legacy is worth being trapped here without any company for seven damn weeks, I hope there is a decent girl among them to save, so that I can let out some steam, ah that makes me remember I couldn't get a taste of that princess, and Jenna is dead because you didn't tell me about the entrance method killing others, Ariel!", he said, only to be met with silence from the angel girl.
Apparently after Adam escaped leaving Jasmine behind, using one of his safety measures, which was supposed to bring him to a place where he could get some benefits, he ended in this unknown place.
Besides a large open area, there was nothing but a barrier that prevented him from advancing, no matter what he tried he couldn't get in, but he could leave whenever he wanted, the only problem is that he won't be able to return.
So, he just stayed here to wait, in any case he made some preparations before all this happened, so he just needed to focus in increasing his strength and everything will work like always.
Adam came out of the tent, and saw that cracks had started to appear on the barrier, which made him smirk, he could already feel some magic beasts nearby, which weren't there previously, as there was no one but him.
"I wonder what the scenery will be this time, bandits attacking the carriage, or maybe a kidnapping try", he mumbled with an excited expression.
Little did he know that the scenery that awaited him this time was altered, because of a few people's intereference.
