"No, I refuse to obey a mere brat, I'll consume you and evolve to the next realm!!!", the goblin shark once again tried to devour Daimon, the chains that were attached to its body with giant harpoons piercing him, actually tensed up as the shark tried to move its body just enough to take Daimon by surprise.
"Aghhh!", but then as soon as he reached a distance of about a couple of meters from Daimon, besides the wounds in its body that had already closed due to the massive vitality of a magic beast, re-opening, he was punched on the face by a giant green light arm.
The strength behind the punch was so, that the shark was sent flying downwards clashing against the floor of the cage, which at the same time was registered by the formations as a jailbreaking try, which ended in the goblin shark receiving an insane electric shock, that caused the shark to cough smoke.
"Humph, how dare you disparage my young master, you should be honored that you were chosen to serve for the great conquer of my young master!", Horals whose eye sockets were literally spewing green battle aura which resembled flames, kicked the shark around using his battle aura to crate giant legs.
The shark tried to retaliate but while in its prime it would have been probably stronger than Horals, after years of being imprisoned he was no match for the angered self-claimed Daimon's right hand, not to mention Horals had a sadist side when it came to deal with his young master's enemies.
"Hey bonehead, why are you acting out of line, young master didn't order you to trash that idiot shark, what are you going to do if he is too out of shape to serve young master?", Rita's voice took Horals out of his trance.
"Ah right… Horals has acted out of line and seeks disciplinary actions from young master", Horals immediately stopped beating the shark up, and kneeled in front of Daimon.
Daimon didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, amused by the all this "henchmen" act Horals have, Rita acted like that too, but the bone general tended to be a bit too enthusiastic about it, not like Daimon had anything against it, since there were no downsides to it.
"No need, maybe with that, he'll learn to be more sensible about who is in charge here", said Daimon, only then Horals stood up and returned to Daimon's side.
It's not like Daimon just let Horals beat the goblin shark on a whim, there was something he wanted to confirm.
[Ding]
[The skill "Royal Aura" has been updated ]
Daimon listened to a notification and he observed the description of the skill "Royal Aura", one more time.
[Royal Aura (Passive): As the first son of the sea of the north, all the sea magic beasts must demonstrate respect in front of Drakolevia, any sea magic beast without an ancient root of the same caliber can't attack the host and must abide by the orders of the host once they have tried to (Limited to two greater realms above of the original level of the host)]
[Information added: Beast Slots]
[Beasts Slots: Magic beasts under the control of the host (1/4), (the host can release the registered beasts at any time)]
'So, the "must abide by the host orders", part doesn't mean it can't go against me, the shark will only receive a punishment if it tries to attack me, but he can to some extent withstand the backslash, on the other hand it has to obey my specific orders, but it isn't forced to be loyal to me, unlike the terror contractor skill', thought Daimon as he swam all the way to where the shark was laying after getting beat up by Horals.
"Personally, I don't care if you are willing to obey or not, I happen to need a guide for the Maelstrom Sea, and you will fulfill that role, if you do that for me, I'll leave you alone, you'll have to deal with the one who put you in this prison as that doesn't have anything to do with me though".
The shark had an angered and hatred filled expression in its face, but seeing Horals cracking his knuckles, he ultimately nodded.
"Fine, but you'll have to let me recover my strength, going through most of the Maelstrom Sea as something less than a peak Mortal magic beast is a suicide, without a large pack, also are you sure you want to go there, you can't imagine the horrors that live beneath the surface there", said the goblin shark with a sinister smile on its face and a mocking voice.
Daimon snorted.
"It's not that easy to frighten me, just do as you are told".
"Hahaha, as you wish my temporary "young master", you can call me Blacktooth", said the goblin shark.
Daimon then looked at the roof, so that Annete could see him.
"Can you lend me a pouch similar to the one used to restrain the Mist Horror, I need to take this guy out from here".
… After a couple of seconds of silence, a small portal appeared from where a black chained beast pouch came out
"So, you are one of the subordinates of that despicable woman, or perhaps a son out of an adventure, that would explain a lot", said Blacktooth with a resentful voice.
Apparently, he had a grudge with Annete, which was probably because he was imprisoned here by her or something along the lines of that.
A rune with the shape of a mouth suddenly appeared in the air above Daimon, and Annete's voice could be heard coming from it, as soon as he badmouthed her.
"Oh, it seems I was too soft with you over the years by just letting you to rot in there, Blacktooth, don't worry I will prepare a ton of fun activities as a welcome back gift for later~".
Blacktooh showed no reaction but inwardly he gritted his teeth.
'Just you wait bitch, both you and this little bastard will pay for this!', he swore in his heart.
"Unchain him Horals, don't resist Blacktooth", Daimon asked Horals while he also firmly ordered the goblin shark to not resist.
"At your order young master", Horals advanced towards Blacktooth and pulled the harpoons out o his body in a single go, causing the goblin shark to bleed and growl but he stayed quiet per Daimon's order until Horals finished his task.
"Now enter this pouch", Daimon pointed the chained beast pouch Annete gave him at Blacktooh and the goblin shark was absorbed by it.
One of the many capacities the high ranked pouches had, was that the master could send other objects such as medicine and food inside, so that the beasts could rest and recover, the low ranked ones only allowed the magic beasts and to eat they needed to be taken out.
Of course, the magic beasts ate large quantities of food, which could last them for a couple of days, so it wasn't that much of an inconvenient, but for recovery purposes the high ranked pouches were a must for those who had a strong magic beast as their companion, such as the royals and a very small group among the high ranked nobles.
After that, Daimon checked on the other magic beasts, but apparently every one of them could feel when he activated the Ruler of the sea, and now they were avoiding him like the plague.
Besides Blacktooth the other magic beasts didn't have the capacity to speak and were relatively wild, but they instinctively simply didn't approached Daimon and ignored him, even when he tried to provoke them, it was a strange sight to say the less.
'Whatever, I guess a peak Arch rank disposable guide is enough, besides no one of the rest really excel in any field', thought Daimon.
He jumped out of the underwater cages and returned to the dry land.
"Miss Annete, please open the gate", said Daimon to the air, then a few seconds later the gat from which he entered, raised from the ground.
Then he accompanied by Horals and Rita who was still hiding in his shadow left the basement of the prison.
…
After going through the artificial dimensional tunnel, Daimon returned the upper level of the prison, where the girls were waiting for him.
Daimon immediately noticed Annete seemed confused by something.
"Is something wrong miss Annete?", he asked.
"Mm, it's not that, I was just wondering why did you choose that Devil Goblin Shark, personally I think the Snake Eeel would have been a better match since you have such a strong lightning affinity… also just call me Annete, it's not like you are one of this kingdom's people and you already call Mellie by her name anyway".
Daimon chuckled, although he hasn't used lightning spells, Annete and Mellie's innate ability probably allowed them to sneak a peek into other people's affinities or something like that.
In fact, it's possible that she can see a lot more of things about others while using Analyzing Resonance, but in his case the system prevents others from seeing his spells and a lot of other information, the same applies for the soulmates, as for the Risha sisters, on the outside they look pretty normal, with the exception of the moments when they use their wings, which brings a fundamental change for their strengths and abilities.
"Apparently my ability doesn't exactly match the information you read on that book, that being said it did help me learn more about mine, I can't choose the magic beast that will be tied to me, but at the same time I'm not limited to only one, which is good so I don't have to waste time taming them".
Since the ability "Ruler of the sea", was learned in the form of a skill, it was organized under the interface of the system, which was for the best, meaning he might be able to level up the skill later on, something others weren't able to.
Needless to say, but Daimon's answer, took not only Annete but also Mellie by surprise, being able to control one beast was already an incredible advantage over others, and was one of the two things the royal family took pride in.
But now in front of them, Daimon simply admitted he could control more than one at the same time without having to sign a contract with them, it was outrageous from the point their point of view.
"I guess that's to be expected from the lineage of the hero", mumbled Mellie.
"Mm, lucky we found you first~", added Annete with her usual playful voice.
"Speaking of that, I wasn't going to ask since it's none of my business, but something that Blacktooth mentioned has been bothering me… you aren't the mother of the crowned prince, or any of the princes and princesses, right?", asked Daimon.
Annete's pretty aquamarine eyes narrowed for a split of a second, but ultimately, she shrugged.
"It's not exactly a secret, the tittle of "Queen" in our kingdom doesn't mean I'm the partner of the King, sometimes that's the case, sometimes it isn't, in this case it's the second, I'm not married to that guy, nor I live with him".
"I became the queen simply to create a balance in the power, since my Delphini family is part of the old noble faction and not the founding families, this was when the neo noble faction didn't exist, so there were only two sides".
"Of course, the king wasn't exactly happy, but ultimately he simply looked for wives in the other families to create alliances through marriage, and had children with some of them, one being the current crowned prince".
