The Risha sisters looked at Rita with curious eyes, she had pointy ears like most of the humanoid demon races, her skin tone was more akin to undead but her aura was similar to that of a beast race.
It was hard to describe what she was, also she appeared from within Aisha's shadow, which meant she has been with them the whole time.
"Wouldn't it have been easier if she came to help before?", mumbled Leslie.
Aisha bitterly smiled, her son assigned Rita to be her bodyguard and she melded into her shadow, and she indeed was pretty strong but just like Horals, her personality was a bit… unique.
"I wasn't lying, although she was here, I couldn't make her come out, only Daimon can make do it, since she is a bit too shy".
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, after presenting her respect to Daimon, Rita's body shivered for a couple of seconds, before she jumped to the ground.
"I can't, there is too many people looking at me young master~", then without saying anything else, Rita's figure disappeared into Daimon's shadow this time.
Daimon sighed, weirded at the fact that his left arm, the one in charge to watch over his beloved mother, had scenic panic and didn't want others to look at her.
That's why she hid in the shadows, both literally and figuratively, of course if Aisha's life were to be in danger, she'll interfere but she wouldn't physically appear unless Daimon told her to.
"Oi you useless mage, what the hell are you doing, young master requested your presence, as the mage of the court, you must oblige!",
"Shut up bonehead, young master trusts me more than you, go die for a third time and become a dog".
"What!", Horals nearly lost it, he took out his sword and tried to stab Daimon's shadow, but the thing moved every time, avoiding the tip of the sword.
Daimon didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, when she wasn't physically visible, Rita was completely different, also she and Horals were really against each other, since the very moment they signed a contract with him, and when Horals noticed Rita's starting point was higher than his, that was the start of a fight.
He always scolded her for not perfectly fulfilling the orders of their "king", even when she got his favor in that aspect.
"Enough you two, Horals, the barrier, Rita, smack that guy against the ground".
"We listen and obey!", both Horals and Rita immediately stopped their quarrel, Horals became a flash of green light that crashed against the roof of the isolation array, forming an explosion with the shape of a skull.
Oswald felt the strong vitality coming from Horals's battle aura and he felt sick, with his current body vitality was like poison.
'Damn it, I could hear the array starting to crack, and I'm still too far from breaking through, if that bitch of a queen comes, I'll be in deep shit, better make a run'.
"But first of all, I'll replenish my reserves with you!", all the tentacles coming out of Oswald's body retracted and then the one that replaced his arm, tried to pierce Spencer's chest, since the latter was collapsed on the ground due to overexerting his magic core.
But then his twisted smiling expression froze in cold, when he had to jump backwards to avoid a spear like tentacle aiming at his neck.
"What the hell now", Oswald turned to see the origin of the attack and he felt his throat dry, upon the sight of the three Mist Horrors coming his way.
"What's the idea you bastards, we have a deal!", apparently Oswald was to some extent able to communicate with the Mist Horrors, at least before, because now the things weren't answering him now.
"Shadow Heart Puppeteer", Rita's hands came from within Daimon's shadow, as she casted her spell, one that allowed her to force her will into the bodies of the Mist Horrors… at the cost of destroying them since her orders weren't "natural", so the joints, and flesh were bound to tear.
Essentially by the time Rita finish her spell, the targets would end up turning into a bloody mess, or that would have normally been the case, but as Spencer described, they healed practically immediately, making it really hard to kill.
Although Rita refused from the bottom of her heart to come out of Aisha's shadow, it isn't as if she was just lazing around, she took note of everything in case Daimon were to ask about it later on.
While Oswald was being attacked by the three Mist Horrors, Daimon looked at the bodyguards who were still trying to process what was going on and he shouted.
"What the hell are you doing, help your companion".
The first one to come out of his daze was Ricardo, he grabbed Spencer and returned next to the barrier, Oswald's tentacles tried to take Spencer away, but the Mist Horrors 3v1 blocked him from doing so.
And to worsen things from him, Oswald heard a loud cracking noise followed by a green flash of light as the isolation array that caused the nobles so much desperation, shattered to pieces.
"Impossible, it hasn't been even five minutes!", Oswald was about to go mad, leaving cracks on the outer part of the array is the most common thing, but he saw that black armored guy destroying the whole thing after just a couple minutes since he appeared.
"Fuck this, I'm not biting the dust after getting so far", with those last words, Oswald turned around and flew away as fast as he could.
To everyone's surprise, Daimon didn't order the Mist Horrors to pursue Oswald and instead he told Rita to made the Mist Horrors approach him.
The three Mist Horrors slowly but surely came all the way next to him, they tried to break free from Rita's control but they couldn't.
Once they were in front of him, Daimon smirked and he placed his hand on the forehead of one of the three things, and then without any warning, the Mist Horror exploded in white flames.
"Screeech!", a loud screaming sound came from mouth of the thing, but it couldn't scape no matter how much it tried.
The white flames were like a fierce animal, devouring its prey whole until there was nothing else to burn, in this case the whole Mist Horror became fuel for Demon Light, and no matter how much the thing tried to put out the flames, it just increased their strength.
[Ding]
Daimon smiled upon hearing the notification from the system.
[The host has entered in contact with the host of the "Hero of Light System", and the latter has proven to be an enemy, so the system has created the "stealing" mission series, starting from now, when the host interferers with a situation where the Hero of Light would improve, the host will get a change to steal an opportunity from him].
[Stealing from the hero (Clear Water Kingdom): the hero of light Adam was prepared the stage to find companions and allies in the Clear Water kingdom, but its way was blocked by the host at a critical part of the event].
[Objectives:
[Become well known among the four dominant factions (2/16)]
[It's too early for the host to show he possesses the system to other system users, proceed with the mission without being related to your public self (1/1)]
[Make a great entrance like a hero (1/1)]
[Win the beast hunt (0/1)]
[Win the three-art tournament (0/1)]
[Get the hidden gem to join your side (0/2)]
[Steal the legacy left to help the Hero of Light (0/1)]
'I wonder if all the missions that guy gets, are like these… I guess it fits such a showy bastard like him', thought Daimon, he basically had to win over the population to get his
Daimon was about to kill the other two Mist Horrors, to see if he could extract their skills since he had no luck with the first try, but the princess stopped him from doing so.
"Wait a minute please, getting a living specimen of that creature would help our kingdom to counter those hateful pirates… could you spare one for us, of course there will be a proper compensation for it".
Daimon shrugged, he killed the second one and was lucky enough to get a skill from it, although he didn't participate too much.
"Mm?", everyone felt a change on the sky, the clouds that were covering the light of the moon were suddenly dispelled as a woman 50% similar to Mellie older, descended from the sky.
Her aura was calm and composed, but that didn't match the half beaten to death pirate she was grabbing by its neck.
The woman had long light blue/ white hair, she was wearing a blue short top and a skirt, her two-piece attire was decorated with holden things here and there, unlike Mellie she didn't have those crystal/coral deer horns, but besides that she looked like an older version of Mellie.
"We greet, her honorable majesty!", the nobles who were already told beforehand by Spencer, knew the queen was going to come as soon as the isolation array disappeared, so this time they reacted faster".
The queen left the battered body of Oswald on the ground before she approached Spencer, only after being sure that he wasn't dying but just tired, she approached the young nobles, the barrier had already disappeared at this point after all.
The queen hugged her little sister in silence for a split of a second before letting go of her.
She then looked at the next thing that caught her attention, Daimon and the girls who not only weren't bowing to her, but they held captive a creature the kingdom has been trying to capture for studies.
