Van Hellsing was carefully walking up the stairs listening for his target while also actively trying to ignore Riley next to him who was giggling like a psycho.
As for Riley , his entire mind was focused on the system screen infront of him showing the rewards.

- Special physique - Heavenly Asura Succubus Physique
- Perfected Basilisk Incarnate Serum ×7
- Spell book - Catastravia
The rewards were pure gold , nothing but the absolute best and according to the description they were even better than the best.
If before Riley would cultivate Dragon Qi and Celestial energy only , now he had the means to cultivate Heavenly qi as well.
Unlike the Divine Celestial energy utilized by the Celestial beings (Gods) , Heavenly qi was the highest version of qi and life energy beneath the Celestial beings and it was used by immortal cultivators and creatures born in the Heavens.
Though the inheritance of his Celestial Dragon bloodline described Heavenly qi and Heavenly creatures , it didn't describe what a Heavenly Asura Succubus was so Riley quickly opened the information on the physique.
[Special physique - Heavenly Asura Succubus physique]
- The physique of an Succubus that has harnessed learnt to harness heavenly qi and evolved along a separate evolutionary path from their demonic relatives developing a Heavenly Arcane Soul forge.
- Possessing a close connection and affinity to the Mind , Spirits , Contracts , Healing and Arcane arts.
- Provides Heavenly Succubus charm , Arcane Asura aura , Spirit tongue , Telekinesis.
[Host can integrate it as a Secondary Physique, Detecting a considerable affinity with Celestial Dragon bloodline and Main Special physique.]
'Great , but we will have to wait to integrate it. Don't want any sudden transformations infront of the greatest monster hunter.'
As they reached the top of the church , Riley read through the other rewards which were also pretty good too.
[Perfected Basilisk Incarnate serum.]
- A Perfected Serum based version of the operation and process used to enhance the Incarnate soldier Edward Beckford.
- Grants complete control over transformations and fuses animal instincts with the human mind perfectly without risk of losing control.
Riley remembered the Incarnates from an anime that he really enjoyed a long time back so he could instantly predict and tell the value of these serums.
'Maybe I can take one too , I remember that the Basilisk guy could turn invisible.'
He decided to take one later when he was alone and then focused on his last reward.
[Spell book - Catastravia]
- Contains the light based Spell Catastravia. Provides instant comprehension of every aspect of the spell.
As a magic spell , that last reward was going straight into the Inventory.
From what Riley had guessed , the stronger and more important a character , the better the reward Riley gets but that theory wasn't yet proven since he had only met two characters.
Apollo was a full God so his power is obvious. As for Van hellsing , the fact that he was also the Archangel Gabriel , who is a being of immense God given power , probably made the rewards higher.
He would probably get to test it very soon with Mr. Hyde who he really hoped was considered a character.
"Don't get in my way."
Van Hellsing's voice brought Riley out of his thoughts and he nodded before tugging on Van hellsings coat to get his attention before they entered.
"Can I help." Riley asked with very convincing timidness in his voice.
At that moment , Riley used his full cuteness making himself look so innocent that it would have been hard for anyone to say no. Van hellsing first stared blankly at Riley for abit in silence then mumbled a quiet "Whatever."
Riley cheered happily and blasted right through the doors in a blur of speed smashing them completely and disappearing into the room.
"What the hell is wrong with this child."
Since stealth was compromised , he also ran in past the destroyed doors without delay only to freeze in his steps.
Riley was floating in midair with his legs from the knees downwards radiating hot deep yellow light , and slumped on the ground beneath him was Mr. Hyde who groaned in pain and struggled to get up.
"I didn't know if you wanted him dead or alive , so i didnt kill him."
The shock on Van Hellsing's face this time was visible and he pulled down his mask to get a better look at the Mr. Hyde.
"How.....what are you exactly?"
Riley simply smiled at the question trying to look mysterious but only managing to look cute and playful , then he chose to ignore the question entirely.
"He is not yet down by the way , so maybe you should be careful...."
Riley didn't get to finish his warning because Mr. Hyde pounced quickly jumped up and pounced at Van Hellsing probably hoping to use him as a hostage.
'Hmmmpphh.....cowardly and stupid , you run towards your natural prey.' Thought Riley in undisguised disgust after seeing the sign in rewards he got from Mr. Hyde.
[Host has signed into the following]
- Premium Cuban Cigars
- Lizard Serum ×2
- Berserker potion ×10
While Van Hellsing and Mr. Hyde fought , Riley read the information of each reward confirming his theory of weaker characters giving him weaker rewards and stronger characters giving him stronger rewards.
The cigars were expensive luxury cigars but besides that , there was nothing noteworthy about them.
Meanwhile the Lizard Serum was the exact one Doctor Connors called perfection. Permanent transformation into a hulking bipedal Lizard and a bloodthirsty , Beastly temperment.
The third reward initially surprised Riley but after he read the information , he realized it was also equally a disappointment.
The Beserker potion could multiply someone's strength many times over but at the sacrifice of about a year of their life. However , it had a limit and wouldn't work on anyone stronger than a peak human.
The rewards were all put in the inventory then Riley refocused on the fight between Van Hellsing and Mr. Hyde curious to see if plot would be the same with his involvement.
Surprisingly though , Van Hellsing was winning , and with Riley's observation Haki and enhanced Senses, he quickly realized why.
The light coated punch that Riley had given Mr. Hyde when he rushed inside had only healed externally but since Riley had punched all the way through his abdomen and charred the flesh , he couldn't fully heal.
The only issue that Van Hellsing was facing now , was how to knock him unconscious or immobilize him because he had already tried to wrap him in the line of his grappling hook but it didn't work.
Finally , he decided to just kill the stupid beast and be done with it , but Riley sensed the killing intent and stepped in to prevent that.
"Let me handle this Mr. Van Hellsing."
Immediately Van Hellsing stepped back , Riley shot forward with a burst of light and reached the bleeding muscle bound monster in an instant then
he chopped down on Hyde's neck knocking him out with pure physical force.
