Daimon's eyes glowed behind his mask, then with a small grin he shoved Disaster's tip on the ground as he walked towards the pile of dismembered bodies.
"If you don't come out in five seconds, I'll set those corpses in fire".
… Listening to Daimon the girls prepared for a fight, but then after a couple of seconds a ragged guy came out of the pile of bodies, with his hands raised on the air.
"Wait, wait, wait, I'm a survivor from the previous battle, please don't attack me!".
The guy that came out of the pile of bodies was quite pale and disheveled, but besides that he looked pretty much as any of the high-ranked nobles of the Clear Water kingdom.
That being said, Daimon honestly didn't recognize the emblem on the shoulder of the jacket of the man.
But Mellie did.
"That's the emblem of the Lorenz family, so you must be Charles Lorenz, tell us what happened here?", she asked with a firm voice.
Though Mellie didn't really act as a royal most of the time, right now they were in a rush against time, they needed to find out what the pirates were doing and then look for a way to inform the Trident Marshal.
"Charles Lorenz greets princess Delphini, the story is something like this…".
Charles then proceeded to tell them what happened here, apparently a couple of groups managed to bump into each other, after noticing their magic devices weren't working as they should, they decided to tag along and look for a way out.
But then after a couple of hours of walking just when they stopped to rest, they were ambushed by a group of people hiding their faces, and while their numbers were similar the battle took a horrible turn after they heard a roar coming at the them.
"T-The next think I knew was that there were pieces of bodies, organs and blood flying everywhere… it was a massacre, that thing was stronger than us and it was angry and hungry, so the first victims went straight into its stomach, I can still hear the sounds of bones being crushed and screams", said the guy with a pale face.
"I was sent flying with a lot of other people, but by some miracle I wasn't killed on the spot and just fainted due to the impact, but before that I managed to see how they forced the girls in our group to enter cages before that strange magic beast carried them as they left".
The guy then pointed at the large claw wound on his right side as he looked at Mellie.
"The claws of that thing had poison, so I'm done for my temperature has dropped a lot and I just managed to endure up to this point because I stayed still… please save the girls princess, among them is my fiancée, please help her in my stead", said the guy as he made an effort to bow his head at Mellie.
Mellie was clearly angry, the pirates came and were making everyone suffer just because they wanted to get to her, but as she was about to approach Charles, Daimon stopped her from doing so by placing his hand on her shoulder.
"Daimon what are you…", Mellie saw Daimon approaching Charles with his sword in his hand and she was confused as to what was happening, until she saw Daimon casually stabbing his sword on Charles's chest.
"No, wait!", Mellie's eyes widened, she saw Charles spiting blood and then looking at her.
"Princess run, this guy's mask is similar to what I the other guys who attacked us were wearing, they aren't from Neptune but ughh!".
Before Charles could keep speaking Daimon kicked him on the face as he shook his head, of course he saw Mellie's conflictive face and he sighed.
"There is no undead in Neptune, and these guys have developed an interesting ability so I'm not surprised you were able to trick those poor bastards, but in front of me even corpse sandalwood is useless, so how could I not notice the stench of death coming from you, Skelefiend?", said Daimon.
"Damn, you invaders are quite something, that person warned us that there were some hard to crack nuts among you, but I must say I'm surprised that one was able to see through my perfect disguise hahaha!".
From the hole in the chest of Charles a mouth with spiked teeth could be seen laughing as it tried to stand up.
"I have seen that before, one of those things was possessing a demon's body at the north sea when we were at the first layer of Neptune, said Aisha, remembering that demons she fought back then.
"Hahaha, those guys were mere ants, commoners sent as scouts, even partners or family won't be able to tell the difference thanks to our lord, it doesn't matter what you do, the Mermen and Elemental seas will fall!".
Daimon snorted.
"Okay, enough bluffing, now it's time for answers", he said as he grabbed Charles by his neck.
"Don't worry I have something special for people like you, my sacrifice is only temporal as my lord will bring me back to life!", shouted Charles as he activated the immolation magic array set up for security reasons.
But his moment of going in a blaze of glory didn't come, so he tried to activate it again and again with a desperate expression.
"You see that's the problem with all of you… you talk too much", said Daimon as a wisp of white flames appeared on his hand, then before the Skelefiend could say anything, the wisp of flame entered Charles body and the next thing that came out of his mouth was a lung-tearing scream.
"Aghhhhh!".
"Kill me, kill meeee, why can't I leave!", shouted the Skelefiend inside of Charles body, which made Daimon smirk.
"You are a creature of chaotic darkness and my flames are pretty special, just by being in their presence you'll be suppressed, and in contact your body itself will lose integrity, in simple words, you can't move nor resist, to me it seemed to you enjoyed causing pain and suffering to the poor bastards that fell for your tricks, what a shame you don't know fear as much as you think you do".
"And that lame way to hide a magic array was meaningless in front of he, in other words since the very moment you decided to get in my way you were dead", said Daimon with a cold voice.
"But taking a page of your book and since I pretty much know how a manually tore limb looks like, I'll take my time burning you until there is nothing left from you" whispered Daimon to the Skelefiend.
From the shadows, Horals was jumping and clapping.
'That's right young master, show those copycats how a true demon induced fear into his enemies hahaha'.
Rita on the other hand shook her head.
'Bone head, can't you see, young master is trying to confirm if with enough fear he can force the terror contractor skill to activate'.
Rita was right, he was specially causing this Skelefiend fear, with the intention of confirming a couple of things, unfortunately it wasn't working, but a consolation prize the Skelefiend who was going crazy due to being low fire fried right now, shouted.
"Please, I will tell you everything you want, just kill me already!".
Daimon snapped his fingers and Demon Light stopped killing the Skelefiend momentarily.
"You see that wasn't so hard, I guess first things first, what the hell are you bastards doing here?", he asked.
The Skelefiend took a deep breath as speaking was hurting like hell right now.
"We were sent by ruler Horrorclaw to assist the Stingray Devil pirates, also we are supposed to capture the Valas princess, the problem is that our number is very low due to a certain incident, so we had to resort to traps and other tricks to get hostages… and food for our helper".
"That's all I know I swear!", said the Skelefiend, but Daimon shook his head as he played with a wisp of Demon Light in his hands.
"Why are you so eager to leave, where you are going there is going to be way hotter than this anyway?".
"Humph, my death will be temporal, I have seen my lord brining back others, you Mermen are doomed hahaha", finding courage from who knows where, the Skelefiend momentarily returned to its previous self, at least until Daimon made Demon light burn him again, which woke him up from his fantasies of his resurrection.
"Whatever, I don't have time for this, just tell me where were the girls taken and you'll have my permission to die", said Daimon with a disdainful voice.
Bringing people back from the death, or at least bringing the "original" people back was impossible even for those above the Emperor realm, that's something he knows better than anyone, since bringing Aisha who died in the same die, back, required an item with the word "Divine" on its name.
So, either this Skelefiend just saw a really good necromancer put on a show, or something else was possessing a dead body, however this idiot became a fanatic due to that, and now as going to die with that stupid idea.
'A necromancer system user maybe', thought Daimon, it would be easier for a system user to trick these Skelefiends, and the data from the information shop said there was a new religion growing at the Bone Sea, since the statue and temple of the previously sole deity were burned down and destroyed, and the believers were being eliminated.
"They were brought further into the west area of this underwater space; it's been about two or three hours since they left".
"Are they fine?", asked the princess, which made the Skelefiend laugh.
"Princess, did you know that some of them offered to set you up with the condition that we spare them, how much of a fool can you… aghhhh!".
"When I ask you for your personal opinion you'll know it, for the time being answer the damn question", ordered Daimon as he made Demon Light burn the Skelefiend again.
"I'm sorry, they are alive and fine at least for now we were prohibited from playing or eating, but once they are useless, they will become skewers for my brothers and sisters", said the Skelefiend.
"Okay, last question, do you recognize this?", asked Daimon as he feigned to take out the badge in the hand of the dead man, while taking it out from his inventory.
"Y-You, how did a mere human got a devil emblem, no wait that pattern, that's George's emblem, how did you get it, dear hell you killed him, you have no idea what you did, he was Black Beard's spy, you are so doomed hahaha…".
While the Skelefiend was laughing Daimon simply maximized the output of Demon Light, turning the whole guy into black dust, there was nothing left.
"Does it look like I care, he is on my list already anyway", said Daimon as he shrugged.
