Boris had a dead serious expression as a he dismissed the class.
“Anyway, I suggest you brats to stay together this weekend, if possible… things are quite tense since the participants got reduced and if you can think on getting rid of the competence to select your own teammates, other people had the same thought”.
Daimon nodded.
“Don’t worry, unless they want to die, I will like to see someone trying to barge in a place where three half emperors are on guard”.
After saying that, Daimon and the others stood and left the training grounds, even Irina followed them leaving only Aliya and Boris which were a bit confused right now.
After a moment Boris could only shake his head in defeat.
“Three half emperors reunited in one place by a kid from the younger generation… this era is changing too fast for my liking”.
Aliya had a strange glow in her eyes since the moment she saw Daimon easily coordinating with Yvonne and Aisha.
“I need to go uncle, there are some things I have to prepare for Monday’s class”, she said before taking her leave.
Boris knew what Aliya was thinking and he sighed.
“If only that kid had fire affinity”.
…
Normally Daimon and the others would spend some time at the happy wanderer, but since tomorrow they will all be leaving to the capital of the Revy family, everyone had their own things to do.
Irina dragged her daughter, Leslie and Liliana along with her, not before asking Liz for permission to visit the Revy family.
“Mis Elizabeth, will it be a problem if me and these two’s mothers tag along to the little visit of tomorrow”.
Liz nodded, many people will be arriving at Lykos before the competition starts, so a couple extra Arch ranks wasn’t a bad idea.
“Sure, but I hope they are already here since we will be leaving early in the morning”.
Michel and Loren followed Calvin to the happy wanderer, since he forgot to tell her about this and Loren was “lucky charm” to convince her, as for Michael he didn’t have anything else to do so he just tagged along.
And so, Daimon stayed behind with his mother and Liz, he played with the amphora ring a couple of times before saying.
“First let’s go to the mansion, we are going to pay a certain someone a visit later”.
“Mm”, the girls nodded, each one hugged one of his arms and they walked towards the mansion.
Once they were inside Daimon extended his hand and the amphora ring glowed for a moment before a wisp of flame was expelled from it.
Unlike Agramy, the other djinns Daimon captured were at the lord realms and they were basically accumulations of fire with conscience, at least until they decided the forms they wanted.
While for others what came out of the ring was a simple wisp of fire, Daimon could know everything of the djinn since it was under his command.
“You are Gars right, I have a few questions for you”.
The wisp of flam floated there for a couple of seconds before replying in a humble voice.
“How may I help lord Licht?”.
Daimon felt a bit weird being called by his surname, but it was probably something done by the terror contract, so he ignored it.
“If I remember correctly, you are the strongest of the group besides Agramy right?”.
“Yes, this humble one is at the peak of the middle stage of the mortal realm”.
Daimon nodded before asking what really interested him.
“Tell me everything about the conditions for that ability of yours to possess other people’s bodies”.
The wisp of flame followed Daimon’s order and spilled the beans.
“For starters we have two ways of doing it, first we kill the owner of the body and then take control of it, that way the possession is instantaneous, we use it for targets who aren’t valuable”.
“The second way to do it takes more time, but in exchange we can more or less get some information about the body we are possessing, enough to replace it for some time, the only problem is that… this technique drains us of our vitality, so after using it we will die in a couple of months, not all the djinns can do it, it’s an innate trait which randomly appears in some of us”.
“Also, if the gap between the owner of the body and us is too big then even if we try to possess it, our soul energy won’t be enough to control it, our ability to possess others disappears after we reach the planetary subjugation realm too”.
Daimon contemplated things for a moment before he adjusted his question.
“Based on the body Agramy possessed will you be able to take over one with the same level and if you are able to use the second method how much time do you need to do it?”.
Gars nodded.
“Even Agramy isn’t aware of this, but I have the ability to use the second method, as long as it isn’t at the peak of the mortal realm, then I shouldn’t have any problem and a couple of hours should be enough”.
While Daimon was processing the information he just got, Aura appeared a few meters away from them using space shift, she immediately noticed Aisha and Liz giving her some accusatory gazes which she ignored.
Aura curiously looked at the wisp of flame which was floating there in the middle of the room.
The djinns were a new kind of lifeform for the natives of the wonder myriad stellar chart, if Daimon were to sell them, they will fetch a huge price for collectors or researchers like the Greenwich Sage.
But Daimon had other plans for them, just like how he used Caldras to get information of what lied ahead of the magus emperor realm without being punished by that thing called regulation lightning.
Daimon turned to see Aura and asked.
“Aura, do you know where are the alfear staying, I have something to discuss with that marquis, everyone change to the hollow suit”.
Aura smiled; her eyes glowed with a dim yellow light like the ones of a predator who has spotted its prey.
“I was worried you weren’t going to ask, a mere alfear dares to demand my Daimon to apologize… luckily you were there or I would have shredded him to pieces”.
Daimon dragged Aura into his embrace, while others would be trembling in fear after hearing Aura Argent the matriarch of the Argent family saying something like that, he found this aggressive side of her rather cute.
He caressed her cute ears and then his hair changed from the disguised black color, to his original silver tone.
“Let’s go”.
The academic city had a rich night life, many of the establishments only opened after the classes were over, for first years that was early, but for the other grades things were different.
Right now, inside of a mansion at the east area, Clarens was drinking inside his room, this was a horrible day for him, he got humiliated in the morning when an unknown Archmage made him powerless in front of the members of the young generation.
Then he was forced to leave empty handed after demanding compensation for the wounds dealt to someone related to the royal family, so he had to pay for it by himself in order to not incur in the wrath of a duke and a cousin of the king.
Unfortunately, he was forced to inform his superior, his position as marquis isn’t hereditary as he hasn’t contributed enough to the alfear kingdom, while his supervisor can inherit his position to his offspring.
And of course, he got yelled for being “incompetent”.
“Fucking idiot, attacking someone inside the campus ruled by the same half emperor which backs your target”, mumbled Clarens while he gulped down a glass of liqueur made on the alfear kingdom.
“I agree with you on that, but what can you expect of someone who made a deal with Alexander Jolbaris”.
A distorted voice made Clarens feel a chill running through his spine, he immediately jumped from his chair and tried to activate his domain, but then a familiar sensation assaulted him and he fell to the ground.
“Help, assassins!!!”.
Clarens screamed, trying to draw the attention of the guards outside of the room, but his hopes were crushed when he saw a red crystal cube floating near him.
His face paled as he gritted his teeth.
“Intervention monolith… you come from the Revy family, do you think you can eliminate me, if I don’t go to the exploration my supervisor will come to ask questions!”.
Daimon smirked, “I wouldn’t worry about that, “you” will go”.
