I forgot to mention this but my vacation started so I have way to much time on my hands so there my be daily releases.

Also I would like to thank Qanelin for asking why Crow did not teach William cultivation. I was planning on giving an explanation in the chapter(10) but kind of forgot so I will give it now. First of all there are no cultivation resources on this world. Secondly Cultivation takes very long(ten thousands of years) and last and the most important his core is still pretty messed up and would not be able to handle the strain that cultivation brings with it. Also why would he when it is faster to consume cores(which is a thing he again only can do because of his unstable core.)

***************************************************************************************************************************************************************

William

I can feel a warm en gentle energy being released by my core that starts to gradually heal my internal wounds. After a few seconds my senses return to me and I can feel something made of iron laying in my hand. Ahahaha I did it, finally free again. Did they really think they could kill me by just rupturing all of my organs, well it did take a big chunk of my life force. Crow told me I had around nine years left and it feels like my life force has been diminished by almost a tenth. So that means I have a little bit less then 8 years left.

But that is no problem, since these woods will turn into my hunting grounds. Now lets remove this eye patch it is so itchy that it is driving me crazy. Lets see I will need to decide which techniques I will learn in this year. To begin with I will focus most of my attention on the chained Dragon and when I have strengthened my life force I will start training in the Ruthless star. That combat style will allow me to fight opponents who are actually stronger then me and will be required if I want to kill a god.

As for Death Arts I will focus on the Soul Shredding Claw and the Armor of the Devourer. I really would like to train the Six Realms of Rebirth but that Death Arts is more utility based and what I need now is pure combat power.

Movement techniques will be a small problem, since I will need to find a new one. The reason for this is that I have come to the comprehension that my deconstructing and reconstructing of the body in order to teleport is extremely dangerous, since other mages can easily tamper with it and thus kill me. If I die because my body has not been reconstructed completely then even my heaven defying healing will not be able to save me.

But there is one thing that is even more important and that is learning how to search the memories of that god of imprisonment. The chances of him awakening again before I reach godhood will be very slim if he even is still inside of me considering I died so there is a good chance he is residing in a new host, but his powers will sure come in handy.

His memories have plagued me ever since childhood but after my first death in this life those memories have not shown themselves anymore this is the reason why i doubt if he is still sealed inside of me. But If I could just salvage a few of his techniques then it will greatly improve my combat power.

But now how will I train that little pest they pushed on me. Lets see maybe I should train her two days every week and leave the rest of her training to Ariel, mmhh maybe that will slow me down to much.. They should be strong enough to defend themselves so I won't have to train close to them which is perfect. The last thing I want are those pest near me when I am training since I could easily accidentally kill them and that would ruin my chance of plundering their treasurer vault.

Maybe I should make a barrier of death magic to protect them. I am pretty sure there was something about making basic barriers in the beginners guide to death magic that crow gave me. So I should be able to make a decent barrier that can take some hits and warn me if anyone tries to force their way in or out.

Oh talking about the basics I should learn how to keep my death aura active without it affect anyone unless I want to. I will be honest this death aura is almost like some kind of pressure that I emit to suppress and intimidate weaker enemies.

Oh I can hear voices, guess those sisters have arrived.

Ariel

I really can't believe it, instead of being punished I just need to train Ariel and I can even do it outside. All of my clansman must be so jealous of me right now. But I really feel bad for that William I heard that the elders killed him. Or actually I killed him, if I had not attacked him none of this would have happened and here I am living in the outside world a thing most could not even dream of.

There are only two small problems, the first is this slavery seal they forced upon me and the other is that I heard we will be living together with a guard.

The slavery seal is the smaller of the problems since the only one who can command me with it is little Juniper and they will release me once she has become the next chief. But the bigger problem of the two is the guard. I have no idea who it is but he could really ruin everything if he is to strict or heaven forbid it, take advantage of us.

“Big Sis the outside world is so pretty, there are so many colors and sounds.” -Juniper

“Yeah I know.”

“Was it like this before when you tried to stop the demon?” -Juniper

“Who?”

“The demon the one that almost killed you.” -Juniper

Ah she is talking about William, I will be honest when you say demon that almost killed me I would think of someone else then him.

“Who calls him like that.”

“Well everyone because he tried to kill everyone and I heard people say that he has horns and also a tail, but not like ours more vile and evil.” -Juniper

“And what does vile and evil look like?”

“Eeeehhhh i dont know like his horns and tail.” -Juniper

“You can't say thing like that he actually was a nice person and he did not kill anyone.”

“But those four heroes died, if he did not kill them then who did.” -Juniper

“I will tell you when you are older.”

“Sis is just lying.” -Juniper

“No I am not.”

“Then how do you explain his eyes, the adults say that he can kill people just by looking at them.” -Juniper

“Well yeah he can do that but you should not believe everything you hear. Come on lets go inside and meet our new guard.”

As I open the door I can see a small person sitting in a big armchair staring at a bottle.

“Yo” - William

“Aaaahhhhh Sis it is the demon, I don't want to be killed!. Help me Sis!.”

Little Juniper falls down and looks like she just has seen the embodiment of evil himself. Well I guess that from her viewpoint she has seen the embodiment of evil.

“Wi-William what are you doing here?”

Shit where is our guard, did William get rid of him. Why is he even here did he manage to escape and has now come back for revenge against me.

“Well I was supposed to be your guard so they put on a slavery seal on me but I don't really like getting restrained so I took the liberty to release myself.” -William

Wait he broke it, how did he that. I never heard of anyone breaking one and remaining alive but wait does that not mean that he can kill us at any moment. Should I ask him how he did it. I mean I would love to get rid of mine but I don't dare to piss him off. After a short fight between my fear and my curiosity, curiosity comes out victorious.

“You broke it how?”

“Oh it was very simple actually I just pulled the collar off.” - William

As he says this he waves around with the broken collar.

Wait he just pulled it off, how is he alive then. This makes no sense.

“You pulled it of but does that normally not kill you.”

“Yeah it did but I already died a few times so its no biggie.”- William

What kind of monster is this kid before me. He already died a few times and just says it is no biggie. No that can't be he must be lying, yeah that is it he just used some trick and he doesn't want me to know.

“Oh maybe you should calm that kid down It looks like she is gonna wet herself if I do as much as stand up.” - William

I look over to little Juniper and see that she cowering in fear on the ground and mumbling some thing like, “please let me live mister demon” and “Big sis help me”. Well how should I calm her down maybe if I get William to go away for a moment.

“William could you please leave for a moment so that she can calm down?”

“No problem, I will go the bedroom, you should also enter when you have calmed her down.”

As he says this I can see him entering the door on the left side of the house.

“Little juniper calm down he is no bad guy, the elders send him to be your guard and trainer.”

“NO!!!, he is going to kill me. I only need you big Sis.” -Juniper

“He has not killed anyone, he just looks a bit strange.”

“But Sis his red eye is making me scared, it looks like he will steal my soul just by looking at me.” -Juniper

“Don't be ridiculous he can't steal your soul. Come lets go and talk with him.”

“NO!!!!!!!!!!!”

After almost an hour of trying to convince her she finally agreed to talk to him but only if he covers his crimson eye. I already told William this 'condition' and he easily agreed with it.

We start walking to the door William entered, I hope he is not to pissed because it took so long.

Knock knock

As I knock on the door I can feel Little junipers hand that I am holding starting to tremble.

“Want me to hug you when we will talk with him.”

"Y-ye-s." - Juniper

She is really scared, I feel bad for forcing her but we have no other choice. I guess the elders underestimated the fear of a small child and how fast stories spread. And it is not like I can't understand what she is feeling, because I fought him. Well if you can call that a fight. It is also because of that one sided beatdown I know how scary his strength is and now it seems like even getting killed by the slavery seal can stop him.

“Enter.” - William

I open the door and can see him standing in the corner of the room with a blindfold over his right eye (the crimson one). He points at the double bed and gestures us to sit down.

We sit down on the bed and I place little juniper on my lap and hug her as thight as I can.

“Lets keep this short. I will not live here with you guys but I will place a protective barrier around this house. You may not try to leave the area that has a barrier around it under any condition. Got it. - William

"Yes."

“I will stay live in the forest for one month and then I will come to test your progress, but be warned I will use Death Arts so if you are not careful or strong enough then you will get killed. After that I will come to test you two every last day of the week but I will not stay the night. Got all of that?” -William

This is a relief he will still train her but what is with not leaving this house.

“ehh yes.”

“Repeat the core rule then.” - William

“Do not leave the guarded area. But what when someone breaks the barrier.

“While you where wasting time by trying to calm her down, I researched a bit and was able to create this.” -William

He holds the bottle, that he was staring at, up in the air and spins a bit around with it.

“With the help of some instructions I succeed in sealing some of my aura in this bottle. If you break this the bit of aura will return to me and I will know that there is a problem.”

“You may only use this if Juniper is in danger, when Veronica visits alone or if some strangers want to talk to you” - William

“Oh talking about stranger do not answer any question do not even show yourself. Oh and when someone attacks the barrier I will feel it and rush over so don't you dare accidentally hit it. “ -William

“I will try to you heard it to right Juniper?”

I can see her nod, seems like she still does not dare to talk in his pressence.

Well I get the last and first condition since he was most likely only instructed to protect Juniper and not me, but why when

Veronica visits alone. Is he afraid Veronica will try to hurt us or does he just want to get revenge on her.

“I will be practicing how to create the barrier no not interrupt me, I do not need to eat and you can cook for yourself right?”

I puff up my chest before proudly replying “Yes, I can cook.”

“Good useful for something at least.”

Did he really just say that and why am I trying to make a good impression with him, he is only ten.

And just like this the strange agreement between two demi-dragons girls and the boy that is beyond dead had been created.
