Chapter 467: Temporary separation

After keeping the book in a separate ring, Thea didn't store away the black pages since she had something to do with them, but before that, she turned to see Daimon and then said.

"Let's go meet the others at the treasury, so that I can give you the thing I mentioned before".

Daimon nodded, to be honest the gloves Thea gave him were already one of his best equipment, besides Disaster of course, the things allowed him to use his extremely strong arms at its maximum capacity.

Besides their insane durability, they only had a single property, the capacity to negate recoil, it is like that because they were made in a hurry, and Daimon is planning to ask Liz to modify them later.

But for now, they are not bad at all, forty tons of raw physical strength plus a sword that weights as much as that, when Narasha is cooperating with him and gloves that negate the recoil from hitting someone with that, Daimon was like a fish in the water during the three-art tournament.

It was an equipment he asked, because he now had to destroy the weapons of his enemies, both for his personal growth and because Narasha told him that Disaster got stronger like that too.

With Thea guiding them, it didn't take them too much to reach the treasury of the Neris family, though Thea didn't like Thalia's attitude, one of the dreams of her father was to discover what their surname was, and in his honor, she decided to take it as hers.

A moment later, Daimon and the others could hear the voices of the Risha sisters and the others coming from a room that laid ahead of them, they actually left the door open.

Still, Thea simply softly laughed, she didn't mention it before but her family is… loaded, the four seas originally were thought to be similar in terms of natural resources and riches, but the four portals which now Thea got to know are natural spatial gates, have existed in the Maelstrom Sea since forever.

And apparently that makes the space here quite unstable, enough for people from other places to end up in Neptune, at least it happened before a few times, but it stopped after the four rulers learned how to fully restrain the portals.

Anyway, if people were dragged here, then it would only be normal for other things to end up in the Maelstrom Sea, and with the years all those treasures had accumulated here and there.

That explained why some magic treasures showed from time to time, in underwater caves, Daimon now wondered if the bolt that was melted into that shield, from which he got half of the requirement he needed for his Cosmic Weaponry, came from outside of Neptune.

Anyway, once Daimon entered through the door of the treasury, he understood why the others left the door open, they were probably amazed at the scenery that was also taking him by surprise right now.

Thea's treasury was huge, not only because the amount of resources gathered here, probably equaled that of the White's royal family, the Light Palace and the Black Fortress altogether, but also because it was designed to fit magic beasts instead of humans.

"This is already my third or fourth time here and I still find it hard to believe that you have all this at your disposition you know", mumbled Marlene.

Thea shrugged in response.

"Well, the territory of the Ryner clan is the largest out of the four rulers, the magic beasts were ordered to bring back anything that looks valuable, and they are rewarded in exchange, over the years it is normal that it accumulates".

"Come with me", she said as she went upstairs, there were around ten or so levels in the treasury, the first eight were accessible for the adviser of the ruler, while the last two were exclusive for the rulers.

Thea has been there quite a few times and the thing she wanted to give Daimon was there too, but now, she wanted to see if something else reacted to Daimon, like the book did, maybe that first ancestor left something else after all.

On their way to the highest levels, Daimon saw the Yvonne and the others looking at some things that were on the countless racks, they looked like little children in a candy store.

"Here we are, I'll deactivate the anti-theft arrays, so if something catches your eye then by all means give it a try", said Thea as she opened the door of the eight level.

Unfortunately, besides the fact that there were some great Stellar ranked materials to create equipment, nothing really caught up Daimon's attention here.

That being said, the Ryner clan had a lot of materials that came from different magic beasts, claws, teeth, scales, bones even blood were all carefully preserved, and that made Daimon wonder why Karmandi and Lina haven't reached the Stellar rank yet.

Their bases are solid, otherwise they wouldn't be respected by even the clan heads who are all Stellar ranks.

Thea noticed Daimon's doubt and she explained as they walked to the next level.

"The arrays in the treasury were created so that even the ruler can't just take everything, unless there is an extinction level threat, if not, then I can just give one thing to my generals after a certain period of time".

"Truth to be told, those two could have advanced a long time ago, but their parents always regretted not having exploited their potential as much as they could have, before advancing, so they aid they wanted to fulfill their parent's ambitions, luckily that snake bastard finally reached his goal after all the ruckus that happened lately", she said.

Daimon nodded, Ulkrear who was at the same as Karmandi, got utterly destroyed by the snake general, Karmandi as a half Stellar ranked, could defend against Stellar ranks to a certain extent, maybe not to the level of Annete whose innate ability combined with her affinity, resulted in an attack that ignored the differences in realm, but Karmandi was still strong.

Also, just like Daimon, he, Lina and Olander have been the only ones, in a really long time that have been given something from the eight to ten floors of the treasury, once Thea opened the door to the ninth floor, Daimon's eyes glowed behind his mask.

The number of things exhibited in this room were way less than the previous ones, some were even lower ranked than those in inferior levels, but their quality was of the highest notch.

And Daimon's attention was immediately attracted to a rather small rack, separated from the others, Thea walked towards it and after closing her eyes a couple of seconds, she took out what was contained in it, a black fang of two meters of size.

Daimon immediately realized what type of material it was, because the sensation it gave off was incredibly similar to Thea's spear.

"The "Ryner" mentioned by that woman, was officially the first ancestor of my family, prior to the appearance of my father, no one had such a strong dual darkness and water affinities, to the point that their bones dyed black like his".

"Unfortunately, father's body became brittle due to the Nether with which he was wounded, so he couldn't become a legacy for his descendants as he wanted, but the first ancestor was able to".

"All the rulers in the history of the clan were given a piece of Ryner's bones, when they were crowned, which was then turned into the weapon of choice of each ruler, the things made with these bones are exceptionally compatible with us, allowing our battle prowess to increase quite a lot".

"A normal spear would have been destroyed after moving through space as much as I need it to, coincidentally my spear was made with the right fang of Ryner, and this is his left fang, and the last one of them, Ryner's son used the first, my father got the second, I had the third and I'm giving you the last one".

Daimon's eyes glowed behind his mask, materials that have spatial properties not related to storage are incredibly rare, and that black fang also has darkness properties, which makes it perfect not only for Thea but for him too, also this explained why Thea named her spear "Royal Fang" as it was literally made with the fang of the official first ancestor.

Daimon accepted the large fang, but he still said.

"Are you sure, this is quite valuable, you know?", the rarity of the material isn't the only thing that made this fang incredibly valuable, but the history it had, after all it was given only to the most outstanding rulers in Thea's family's history only.

"Says the one who casually handed over the location of the corpse of a magic beast, with a lineage that probably surpasses all the ones that currently exist in Neptune, if you are my friend just accept it", jokingly answered Thea.

Only the upper fangs had both darkness and spatial properties, her father used one of the inferior fangs, and the same applied to Ryner's son which was the second ancestor.

Daimon chuckled and he didn't say anything else as he kept the black fang in his inventory, which made Thea smile, she showed Daimon her spear as she said.

"This way you will always have my spear to help you, and so I will have your weapon to help me too".

Daimon nodded, he already had an idea for this incredibly good material, but it won't be possible for now.

A small silence fell in the room, before Thea gazed at Daimon to then say.

"I wanted to return with you all, but I read the coordinates of that woman's corpse and I need one day to adjust the portal so I can retrieve it, I will stay behind and reunite with you later".

Daimon wasn't surprised, the fact that there is a big chance of Neptune being at least partially destroyed, means that the natural spatial gates might disappear, she had no time to lose.

"We'll see you at the Elemental Sea, don't arrive late or you might miss the fun", said Daimon.

After saying goodbye, Thea head straight to the basement of the castle, she even called Olander back so that he would watch over her, just in case.

Daimon mentally gave some orders to Blacktooth and then left it in a safe room that Thea prepared for him, as for Liman, Daimon was about to discover if his supposition was right, but before that, he went to pick up the Yvonne and the others so that they return to the Flying Citadel.

Surprisingly Marlene didn't leave her clan in Thea's castle as Daimon expected, but instead they will be tagging along with them, not that he had a problem with that, as they will be staying in the citadel.

…

Back at the citadel, while the girls went to Jasmine's room, Daimon paid a visit to the prison, where Aurora was still watching over the black core and "torturing" it with her light mana, as the screams that came from it, suggested.

But before he joined the Light Matriarch in that, he had another thing to try, so with Remi accompanying him, Daimon entered Liman's cell.

The eel guy was fully restrained with a hatred filled expression on his face, which became wilder when he saw Aster entered the cell, surprisingly this guy didn't break so easily, he even managed to hide information from Roger and Fabio, though he was forced to talk when Daimon burned his eyes.

"What do you want now, I have already told you everything I know, just go ahead and kill me if you don't believe me, Lord will avenge me anyway", he venomously spat.

Unfortunately for Liman, what met him was Daimon's smirking expression, as he snapped his fingers.

Roger then entered the cell bringing two of the many soldiers that were captured back then, along with Lora and Milo.

Daimon gazed at the first one and then ordered.

"Kill yourself".

The soldier was terrified but besides trying to fight in order to break free from Roger's grip, nothing happened.

The surprise came, when Daimon gave the other guy the same order while he focused his aura on him, the poor guy who was just an Arch rank trembled in fear as a black spike chained collar appeared around his neck.

The light disappeared from the eyes of the solider with the collar, and then he immediately used his own hand to pierce his chest, which of course led to his death.

Let alone Liman, Remi was also horrified, ordering someone to directly die through a contract should be impossible, even enslaving level contracts, only grant obedience to a certain point of endangering one's live.

For example, one can be ordered to go and fight a magic beast stronger than oneself, which has a high chance of resulting in death, but it's not a 100% chance of death.

The reason for this is pretty simple, every being who exists, wishes to keep on existing, so when pressured to a corner, the survival instincts of someone with a strong will, might render the contract null.

It is similar to how one can't die by stopping breathing, because after fainting the body will automatically breath once again, a primal instinct… which Daimon just ignored right now.

"I never thought I would be thankful towards that idiot of Marcus, but I guess there is a first time for everything, thanks to him, I can now affect Neptune's natives", he said as he glared at Liman, whose chest exploded in white flames.

"Aghhh!", Liman's scream echoed through the whole area, in the meantime Daimon was for a change happy that Adam and Marcus were here.

Apparently, those who had received something from a system user, which stopped them from being unable to be enslaved through a Terror Contract, as to why he only realized it now, it was because he discarded this theory previously after he couldn't force the contract on Remi.

But turns out that the White Walker hasn't received the so-called Devil Blessing potion, he was only going to get after his after finishing his mission on the Skalia continent, because for those with higher realms it requires much more for Marcus to get the potion they need.

And Remi is a peak high stage Stellar rank, so he hasn't been given the potion, but these small fries that were serving under Marcus's command, had received some pills and potions to make them stronger.

But not all of them have received something from Marcus as the last test suggested, not ten minutes later, despite the "loyalty" Liman had towards Marcus, a notification was triggered for Daimon.

[Ding]

[Steel Vari Eel "Liman" has offered his loyalty, do you wish to accept it Y/N]

With a little nod, Daimon got a new death-loyal subordinate though he will be left behind to help the Ryne clan guard the fort.
