On his way to encounter that group of people and magic beasts, Daimon threw something to Sarah.
The crazy girl caught it and then a smile flourished on her face.
"Heh, so you are the type to take responsibility, don't worry I won't ever leave your side~", she said as she observed the pretty detailed bracelet Daimon handed her, which made Daimon's eyebrow twitch a bit.
"I'm just lending it to you, it's better for others to not know your identity, especially if Adam is here", he said.
The bracelet he threw at her was the bracelet of the god of mischief, he is wearing one too, to hide his mage realm as he is "Gabriel" right now.
Despite Daimon's explanation, the crazy girl happily put the bracelet on and then changed its design to fit her liking, after they joined the alliance, they got to know that Aisha and the Risha sisters were using some kind of magic item to disguise themselves, the same applied to Daimon.
And even if Stellar ranks, might be able to tell they were disguised, they still couldn't see their real appearances, that is something Daimon confirmed with Vincent, could be because the Stellar ranks of Neptune should be more or less equal to the half Emperors or the Magic Kings of the four galaxies.
For Daimon and the others who are still star ranked mages, the half Emperor realm is within the possibilities of the bracelet.
Anyway, Sarah has seen Aisha, Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana using these bracelets, and the three sisters clearly cherished them, only now she discovered why, they were apparently given by Daimon and she was wearing one too now.
Daimon could feel the intense gaze of the crazy girl on his back and he sighed, but he quickly put the matter aside, for others Sarah's hair color changed to a dark green, she also appeared to be an early-stage Lord rank instead of a middle stage one, besides that her eye color changed to honey amber one, and she became younger and a bit shorter, appearing to be around Jasmine's age now.
Her face did have some slight resemblance to her real appearance, but she looked like a distant younger relative.
"How do I look, I should appear to be closer to your age now, right~", she said to Daimon, who ignored her, which unfortunately only made her giggle.
'Well, at least she won't be recognized now', thought Daimon, he was still wearing his mask anyway.
'The chance is little, but one can't never be too cautious…', thought Daimon, he then extended his hand and a black ray appeared out of nowhere condensing into a black one-edged sword.
'I leave their weapons to you Narasha', inwardly said Daimon.
'Mm!', Narasha and Disaster answered in their own way, Daimon could feel the black sword vibrate excited to destroy other weapons.
The moment Disaster appeared on Daimon's hand, Sarah's eyes sparkled, she could feel the threatening aura radiated by the sword and that made her feel the urge to jump onto Daimon, but she could tell there were people not to far ahead of them, so she could only click her tongue and take out her one of the spare weapons she has in her ring.
When Daimon saw her weapon and that crazy expression on her face, he shivered a bit, because she was using a sword with a similar style as Disaster, a one-edged blade sword, the difference is that hers is completely dark green with some lines that ran through the blade.
"Matching bracelets and matching weapons, if I knew you only needed to touch my bare skin for us to advance this fast, I would have sneaked in when you were bathing~", she said as she licked her lips.
'Daimon… I don't know why but I suddenly feel the urge to cut her', said Narasha which made Daimon chuckle.
'She'll probably like it, so that's a no, just ignore her', he said.
Daimon suddenly stabbed the ground below him with Disaster, naturally with a sword that weights forty tons when it is trying to be light, and Daimon's abnormal physical strength, the rocky ground of the wasteland crumbled apart and the floor in a twenty-meter area exploded.
Daimon didn't bother to warn Sarah, because with her senses she should have noticed it too, or she might also get blasted away by the impact, both results were good for him.
"Screeee!", a high-pitched sound came from below the ground as a giant sandworm showed its head in a try to attack Daimon, just to scream in pain before it turned into a dried after Disaster drained it out of all its mana and vitality
Sarah who of course easily dodged the rocks that flew all over the place and calmly withstood the shockwave of Daimon's attack with her body, landed next to Daimon, she casually swinged her sword and cut an arrow that was sneakily shot at them, taking the curtain of dust as a cover.
"So, what do we kill, the beasts or the guys?", she asked, in response three more arrows suddenly pierced the dust aiming at her, but this time she didn't block with her sword, instead she allowed the arrows to hit her, with a bright smile.
The moment the arrows were about to touch her, the runes of her armor lit up in an ominous green light and the arrows melted as they hit her, as for the impact it was fully negated as well, if Daimon wasn't immune to poison he wouldn't have stayed where he was standing, because even the ground dissolved.
Daimon dispelled the curtain of dust to see what was currently surrounding them, it was a group of around forty people, they were all wearing leather armor and more than half of them were fighting against the group of magic beasts from the wasteland.
The rest of them were looking at them with fierce expressions ad they encircled them, and aimed at them with bows made with bones of magic beasts.
Daimon gazed at the newcomers, among them there were two middle stage Lord ranks, who seemed to be the leaders, on of them was leading the group that was fighting against the magic beasts.
While the other was the one watching over the group that was surrounding them, he hadn't pulled out his weapon, but it was a large bone bow which was hanging on his back, along with heavy arrows, also while the one fighting the beasts was a mage, the other guy was a knight as his tall and broad figure suggested.
The mage leader casted a rock spike that pierced the head of a lizard magic beast, and then glided towards the other leader.
"Omar, I told you to ask those two to fight alongside us, not to attack them, we can pay them with some food and mana stones in exchange for their help", said the mage leader.
"You know the situation back at the town Ender, we need to bring back the corpses of the magic beasts, or we'll run out of food, the other magic beasts won't let us go without a distraction, so unless you want to sacrifice some of your subordinates, why not use those two as bait?", answered the knight leader.
Though there was chaos going on with spells being casted and the weapons of the knights clashing against the tough bodies of the magic beasts, even from afar Daimon could perfectly hear their conversation, something those two didn't think was possible.
"And what are you going to do if they escape, to be travelling around the wasteland they shouldn't be weak, are you trying to bring calamity to the town, when we could just offer them a payment and return back safe with food and materials to sell!", the mage leader was much more rational than the knight one.
"Humph, fine if you want to employ them, you pay them, but you know the rules, what you get is yours, so you can forget about getting anything from my Sand Wolf Army, I'll only feed my subordinates!", having said that, the knight leader turned around and took his large bone bow to then shot an arrow at a sand worm.
The arrow was covered in a red fire battle aura, Lord ranks are able to empower weapons even when they aren't in contact with them unlike star ranked ones, which is part of Will Manipulation, so they no longer need to rely only on martial arts for long range attacks, one of the weaknesses of low ranked knights.
And the moment the arrow landed on the head of the sandworm, the thing exploded destroying it, Omar then proudly glared at Daimon, or that was the idea, but when he turned around, he noticed the masked man who earlier stole his prey wasn't there anymore.
A huge sensation of crisis assaulted the knight leader's mind, his released his battle aura at the maximum of his capacity, but before he could pull the string of his bow, a black sword pierced his throat.
"Blegh!", Omar vomited blood on the sport, which of course drew the attention of all his subordinates.
"Retrieve your sword you bastard!".
"Let the captain go!".
The fifteen or so knights aimed their bows at Daimon, as they shouted to get him to let Omar of the hook, a Lord Knight's vitality is high enough for a wound on the throat to not be lethal, of course if the neck is completely cut off that is a goodbye, but Omar was still alive right now.
But that could change with a mental command of Daimon, as Disaster will turn him into a dry mummy, that will become dust a second later.
The mage leader, Ender, saw things going south and he decided to step in, he raised his hands and then slowly approached Daimon as he said.
"The friend over there, can you please let him go, you'll be rewarded if you bring him back alive, also I would like to hire you to help hunt these magic beasts…".
Ender hadn't finished talking when Daimon casually swinged his sword and Omar's head fell from his neck, but before it touched the ground it had turned into ashes as well as his body, due to Disaster.
A sepulchral silence fell for a moment, before Omar's subordinates started shouting to then attack Daimon, but they all suddenly froze, they looked downwards only to see there were nails piercing their necks or any uncovered part of their bodies.
Black foam came out of their mouths before they all collapsed on the ground dead, the mage leader felt a shiver running down his spine, he didn't see a thing, which means that if the other party wanted him dead, he would have gone down a second ago too.
"I don't have the bad habit of leaving anyone who tries to kill me live if I can do something about it, so now that we have enough bait, how about you take me to that town of yours", said Daimon.
Ender was in a dilemma, even if Omar was an idiot, he was still part of the force of the town, now that he was dead, then there will be questions, if he didn't speak, he and his subordinates will be involved, not to mention the masked man in front of him killed without any hesitation, so who knows what he wanted from the town.
On the other hand, even with his around twenty or so subordinates cooperating, he isn't sure he can defend these two, especially the green haired woman, who casually eliminated fifteen knights like that, meaning she is a skilled assassin.
So, both options could bring him to hell.
'Damn you Omar, if you wanted to die acting all high and mighty against anyone you found that is your problem, but why are you causing everyone troubles!?, inwardly screamed Ender.
Still the mage leader, noticed that the green haired woman's dangerous eyes were glaring at him, and he could only say.
"I… I can bring you to the town and pay a compensation for that idiot's actions, I promise me and my men won't say a thing, but you must promise to not harm the people there, otherwise even if you kill me, I won't help you pass the security check".
Daimon smirked behind his mask.
"Sure, I only kill those who are a threat to me, shall we get going then", he said.
The mage leader whose back was covered in cold sweat let out a sigh or relief, living in this land wasn't easy at all, he has somewhat developed a sense of danger, despite being a normal human, and all the alarms screamed the moment he was glared at by Sarah.
"Y-Yes, my name is Ender, just give us a moment to retrieve the corpses of the magic beasts that were killed by us", he said.
The group of magic beasts actually split apart after Omar's subordinates died, there was nothing left of Omar, but his subordinates were still there, and apparently their corpses were more interesting for the magic beasts than the ones of the sandworms and lizards that were killed by the mages.
It's worth mentioning that the sandworm Daimon killed was the leader of the sandworms, being the only middle stage Lord ranked one, that's in part why Omar wanted to kill Daimon, the corpse was worth quite a lot and he didn't want to lose it to a stranger that was "lucky" to land a hit on it, after he and his subordinates had tired it down and wounded it for the past twelve hours.
Under Ender's command, his subordinates cut the corpses of the magic beasts in smaller pieces and only then they kept them in their storage treasures, before the magic beasts arrived, the crazy girl had already checked the corpses of Omar's subordinates and took all their valuables, which were just a couple of storage rings that Omar and his vice-leader had.
The other stuff were poorly crafted items, in which she wasn't interested and ended up in the stomachs of the magic beasts, that were now ripping the corpses apart as they fought for them.
"If they could notice my poison they wouldn't eat those things so eagerly, I wonder why are they prioritizing some regular humans over other magic beasts whose vitality is higher though?", mumbled Sarah who returned to Daimon's side.
"Could be the set up of this place, from where I come it is said that magic beasts preferred to eat humans more than other thing, a really long time ago at least", said Daimon as he looked at the strange things, they were using to store away the corpses of the magic beasts.
Though Ender had a ring, all the other mages were using some kind of small backpack instead, and that was some really old magic technology which is way less efficient than storage rings.
Even commoners or non-mages could afford the cheapest storage back at the four galaxies, as a well-stablished technology there is of course a low-cost line of them, but that didn't seem to be the case here.
'So, it is either a backward place, or we ended up at its border where things are chaotic… maybe both', thought Daimon as he wondered what was this place.
He already tried to use his infinity eyes and even got Rita's confirmation, this wasn't an illusion, they were brought to some other place.
'Whatever, I don't care about the objective of this place, my objective is to find Jasmine, then the legacy and that's it', he thought.
