chapter 114 - Meeting a demon and a goddess

For the next couple of months Caelum continued to train Merlin and Nesta who managed to become experts at swordsmanship, but not his level which was at grandmaster.

Despite the max level in the status, it did not mean that his skill doesn't improve. When max level skill change into a superior still this would allow Caelum to better used his improve skills.

The martial art and technique skill are divided from practitioner, expert, master, grandmaster, etc. His current used of the blade are at grandmaster and a little push the level cap would break.

The level only show the progress but not the whole skill of Caelum, like for example if he gained a similar skill to breath of hell then despite being at level one, it would be much powerful as he already knows how to use a sword.

Every skill he had that kept improving and only the level isn't working because it needed to breakthrough.

If a skill became a superior one then it would become a lot easier to use the said skills.

Moving on to Merlin, her overall strength was slightly more powerful than the canon. He had noticed that she was quite determined to grow stronger and knew it was because of her fear of him leaving.

Caelum clicked his tongue every time seeing her smile thinking that he needed to leave her. He was frustrated at the system for making him to do it.

[E/N: - Fuck you, Cure.]

[A/N: Meh.]

He knew that in order to not be a slave to the system anymore he needs to sever himself from fate, heavens will, or whatever bound him to the worlds.

At the very least he could leave a clone of himself in the Phoenix form of his to guard her.

Now as for Caelum, he had grown fonder of Rajine who was more open to him and sometimes let him touch her. Caelum was a respectable pervert but a pervert, nevertheless. Perhaps he could make a certain perverted Red Dragon that would never appear die from jealousy.

He likes to be perverted if that woman was close to him and let him do as he pleases.

Another of the demoness was Melascula who remained with the ten commandments, letting Caelum know their current situation. The snake demon was always extremely attached to him whenever she had the opportunity.

He found that Derriere was getting anxious about her sister's current whereabouts, but she couldn't do anything because they were busy fighting the goddess clan including Meliodas after killing two of the commandments.

Caelum felt conflicted when Melascula acted like loyal dog and submissive when she's around Caelum. He found it arousing though when she was clinging to him while heavily breathing, making him tempted to 'eat' her but stopped because he needed to know her more.

Syrfin kept teasing him about her saying they were quite alike and couldn't wait for her to be in his bed.

"I'll go to the sacred tree and see the current situation myself."

"Okay I'll come with you, how about you Crimsyn?"

"I, as well would like to accompany you, master."

Caelum nodded knowing that Merlin and Nesta could handle themselves if a danger arises. Though he made sure to leave some talismans to instantly heal them when they are critically in danger.

Merlin alone could kill the third weakest commandment alone, though it would result in endangering the people around her, while Nesta could defeat a red demon and equally fight a gray one.

From his action, the two guardian beasts intently stared at their master.

"What!?"

"You're too protective master…"

"Yeah she's right master."

"Hey, don't say it like a bad thing? Beside I'll do the same with you guys."

The two blushed from his honest words but felt a little hurt that their master doesn't trust them in handling themselves. Seeing this, Caelum patted their heads.

"Don't be like thatز I'm not saying you're weakو but as a man I must make sure nothing happens to you guys."

[A/N: Please don't call him a simp because I hate the fact people instantly associate simp to someone who's passionate towards their lover. It became disgusting word because of the internet]

[E/N:- HAHA SIMP!]

Caelum could easily sense their emotions even without the harem parameter, because of the amount of time they spent together using his time manipulation in a sub-dimension illusionary world.

He found a way to use dream laws without affecting reality via sub-dimension illusionary. With this he could spend time with his family with a little amount of time outside without training.

The basic illusion magic helps out a lot from creatin an illusionary world where they can spend time together as well. Though it was illusion at best that's why he doesn't used it to train as it doesn't help him.

Even if he trains inside the illusion to train weapons for billions of years, it will not help him in training his body. Having knowledge doesn't mean that one can instantly have the essence to perform it.

Nonetheless, the illusionary dimension are for him to spend time with his family and not a place to train.

It was inspired by Sapphire's dream manipulation and illusion creation that Caelum used to spend together inside their dream when they were stuck as infants in black clover.

Though unlike sapphire, his capability is mediocre at best due to only having the opportunity to use the basic illusion magic he bought a long time ago. The dream manipulation had long been changed to dream master skill due Sapphire having her avatar grow.

Caelum felt pity that Sapphire couldn't bear a child due to her real body being outside of the lower multiverse. Especially when Cereza who was just a piece of consciousness inside the system that gained a body had been able to get a child from him.

The two women smiled having such a master showing affection towards them. They instantly clinged to his arms making him smile.

"Big brother, where are you going?"

"Don't worry Merlin, we are just going to explore a bit."

Merlin noticed her big brother leaving and was afraid that he may not return. She can't imagine her big brother who treated her well leaving.

'Those eyes….'

He couldn't help but disdain the past thinking it was easy to leave her with the help of his avatar, but for the amount time he spent with her, the idea of leaving her for fate to move was excruciating.

[E/N: - At least he didn't have the idea of consuming her soul to get her infinite skill like some editor had in mind….*whistle*]

Merlin reluctantly let go of Caelum's clothes. He smiled and gave her a small kiss on her forehead making the little girl blush.

'B-Big brother K-K-K-Kissed me!!??'

"that's unfair! I want one too, big brother!"

Nesta who was busy playing with Elysian notice Merlin and Caelum then voiced her complains when she saw her big brother kissing Merlin forehead.

"Yosh yosh here you go!"

He gave a small peck to Nesta's forehead making her gleefully smile while Merlin was still in daze from the kiss. Caelum chuckled and went his way with his lovers toward the sacred tree.

Flying towards its direction, they were able to see some explosion and battle in the distance that showed that war had truly begun.

'These powers are like hundred times stronger than what black clover is capable of.'

The spells were devastating, even the aftershock could be felt from the distance where Caelum's group was.

'Huh!?'

He sensed someone nearby that was clearly exhausted from somethings and with his curiosity, he decided to check it out.

Arriving where it was, he found numerous corpses of dead demons on the ground. They were fresh and recently died from magic.

He scanned the area using his tenseigan and found the location of two individuals. Caelum flew towards the nearby cave alongside his wives.

What he found was two people, one was a man with small statute yet had a muscular body and mid-size blonde hair while shielding a woman with long silver hair and four feather wings wearing a white dress.

"Who are you?"

[E/N: - *Obligatory Jojo meme* KONO DIO DA!]

Even though his body was exhausted from fighting nonstop, he gave out a killing intent. He was afraid that the woman beside him would be harmed.

He doesn't know who Caelum was, but he could clearly see the danger he exudes. The blonde man knew when someone was strong even if they don't show their power.

"Enough Meliodas, you are too exhausted…."

"Hearing you say that makes me feel much better!"

While the two talked to one another, Caelum was occupied with his inner thoughts.

'I didn't expect to meet Meliodas and Elizabeth!?'

The two were none other than the two main protagonists of the story, the man who will be cursed with eternal life and suffer seeing his lover die in his arms.

Caelum had already seen characters from black clover, but still seeing fictional characters in real life felt surreal.

'Well, this ought to be interesting!'
