It took a moment for the Risha sisters to process what just happened, the screaming voices of the guys that were riding the flying fishes, coming from afar returned them to reality.
"Daimon, was that… an Archknight?", mumbled Liliana, as the one with the most knowledge about knights among the elite class, she could tell that concentration and quantity of battle aura surpassed that of a Lord rank.
The enemy was an early stage Archmage, so to be toyed with so easily, the black armored knight should be at least a middle ranked Archknight.
Daimon nodded, knowing he would have to at leas explain some of the story about how he was able to bring in an Arch ranked with him.
"Yes, we can talk about it later, for now let's go take a rest somewhere far from this stupid ocean".
Horals, suddenly appeared next to Daimon, still dragging the three armored guys and the Archmage, along with him.
"Young master, I inspected the whole area around five thousand kilometers from our current position, I detected magic beasts below the water, but there weren't any other signs of intelligent beings".
"The shore is three thousand kilometers towards the southeast unfortunately I couldn't find a castle or a mansion that fit your elevated status, so I gently asked those bastar… "guests", about it and they told me this is the border of the civilization that rules this place".
"There are some rock formations near the shore where young master can camp", reported the bone general Horals, with a gallant and respectful voice.
Daimon inwardly sighed, Horals just looked for an excuse to mistreat those guys, anyway he wasn't in the mood to deal with the strange attitude that this artificial undead which should have been more like a silent puppet, developed after he accepted him through the terror contractor skill.
"Whatever, take us there".
Horals, nodded and then using his battle aura, he created a twenty-meter green skull that covered Daimon and the girls, before they became a flash of green light that shoot itself towards the south east.
…
Inside the skull made out of battle aura that was protecting them, the Risha sisters couldn't discern anything, it was all blurred due to the high speed they were moving.
"It would have helped if you called this guy earlier you know?", mumbled Leslie.
Daimon shook his head.
"I did call him to watch over us when we were sleeping at the cave, but his existence itself was rejected by the magic ruin, besides his physical prowess as a knight he couldn't even use battle aura, so it wouldn't have changed anything".
After a couple of minutes of flying they finally arrived at the shore, now that they were able to see land, they noticed two things, first the sand in this place was gray, that and there were rivers that ended up on the sea.
The green skull dissipated and Borals guided them to a rock formation one hundred meters from the shore.
"Young master, allow me to do the interrogation, I'll make them sing in no time, while you rest with the young misses".
The prisoners heard Borals asking Daimon permission to interrogate them, and their faces paled, they tried to say something, but their mouths were covered by Borals's battle aura which blocked their voices.
Daimon shrugged, his body was still recovering and they all were soaked in sea water, so a bath sounded more interesting than an interrogation session right now.
"Fine, but do it somewhere else, also be on guard just in case".
"Understood!", as if someone had injected adrenaline in the bone general, his mood went through the roof, and then he disappeared along with the Archmage and the other guys.
Daimon then placed his hands on the ground and used the spell terraforming to build a large pool, the water of the sea was cold like hell although there wasn't any ice around, so everyone needed to warm up.
With a water spell he casted a large amount of fresh water and then heated it with a simple fireball.
Daimon gazed at the girls and then raised a division in the pool, they were inside a cave so what he created was similar to a spring.
"Warm up, change your clothes and then we'll continue our conversation".
"Mm", the Risha sisters nodded, but as they were walking towards their side of the pool, they saw Aisha walking towards Daimon.
"Aisha, what are you…", confused by her actions Yvonne was about to ask, what was Aisha doing, when her face turned bright red upon seeing her taking off Daimon's upper clothes.
"Woah", Leslie covered her eyes but left some spaces in between her fingers to see, she couldn't help but admire Daimon's perfectly toned body, his abs and chest seemed to have been chiseled in marble, nor too bulky, not too slim but perfectly balanced.
Even the normally calm Liliana looked twice before turning her face away.
"Don't pay us attention, Daimon is still recovering I'm just going to help him bath, nothing I haven't done in the past after he was beat up due to his hellish training", said Aisha with a calm voice.
The Risha sisters didn't know what to think, previous to coming to the academy they never left the family grounds of the Risha clan, they lived alone with their mothers, and they took care of them since they had use of reason, so while they were sure grown men and women shouldn't share a bath in normal circumstances, they didn't know the rules and traditions of other households.
Upon seeing that Aisha was about to remove the rest of Daimon's clothes, they ran away like scared rabbits, leaving Daimon and Aisha alone.
"Don't bully them too much mom", mumbled Daimon, but he still left Aisha take his pants and boxers down.
Aisha giggled and then she undressed too, before she dragged her son into the now warm water.
She made Daimon sit down and then she sat on his lap leaning her back on his chest, Daimon could tell she had something to say, so he waited in silence until Aisha moved her head backwards and looked at him.
"I was a bit scared back there, after all these years and the miracles you have worked out, I forgot you can still get hurt darling… when I saw you coughing blood my heart clenched".
While Aisha never showed it, the image of Daimon's body covered in wounds after he brought her back was still burnt in her memory, knowing that she couldn't protect her son was a huge blow for her, over the years she suppressed that feeling and seeing Daimon win without any problem all the time, made her forget about it, until today.
Daimon felt his mother's body trembling and he brought her in his arms to hug her tight.
"I won't die, we'll be together for the eternity, isn't that why we are striving to get stronger".
After a moment of silence, Aisha turned her body around and then softly pressed her lips against Daimon's.
Daimon responded in kind and they enjoyed the tough of the other as they warmed in the bath.
At the other side of the pool which was separated by a wall of rock, the Risha sisters were sitting next to each other inside the water.
"Are siblings normally that close?", Leslie finally couldn't resist the urge to ask what was in her mind.
Unfortunately for her curiosity, Yvonne and Liliana both shook their heads.
"I don't know… normally I would say it's not appropriate, but weren't Daimon and Aisha alone with each other, sometimes she seems to be more like a mother figure than her sister, which makes sense considering she is the older one", mumbled Yvonne.
"If my memory doesn't fail me, they were only taken in by miss Erin after Daimon participated in the annual test of the Revy family, so they only had each other prior to that, it's normal that they are way closer than normal siblings… I guess".
Having reached a conclusion, the three of them enjoyed the relaxing bath and once they finished, they changed their clothes and knocked on the wall of the pool, to let Daimon and Aisha know they were ready.
Daimon and Aisha who were embracing each other in the pool, exchanged one last kiss and then they both got out of the water, changed into some comfortable clothes.
"Come in", the Risha sisters rounded the wall and while in the surface were more relaxed now that Daimon was wearing clothes, inwardly they felt a sensation of loss in their hearts.
They sat together in a circle and Leslie lit up a bon fire, being near to the shore the wind was quite strong and the weather here was quite cold, in a different way than Lykos, the cold here tried to invade one's bones, it was rather unnatural.
Seeing the opportunity, the Risha sisters started preparing something to eat, nothing was better for the cold than a hot meal.
Still, they didn't forget to ask about Horals, the first one to ask was Liliana.
"If you could bring an Arch rank, why not tell tutor Boris… or our mothers for example?".
Daimon thought about for a second, before he simplified it.
"It's not that I could bring anyone else into the magic ruin, Horals is an artificial undead, a bone general to be more accurate, and I happened to have a way to take him here if needed, but it wouldn't have worked with a "true" living being".
It was a bit hard to explain, even Daimon's inventory couldn't store living beings inside, that was a limitation for storage rings too, Narasha was an exception because she was a soulmate and technically, she resided in an unanimated object in this case Disaster.
Undead were the same, although they weren't alive some aspects of them made them be considered living beings, and they couldn't be stored in a storage ring, but the recent evolution of the inventory allowed Daimon not only to assign some slots to those subordinated through the system, giving them a temporal inventory.
Horals discovered he could use the lent inventory as a portal to come next to Daimon, it only worked since he was an undead, because a normal living being would have gotten his skin and flesh teared away due to the travel, but he didn't have it so there was no problem.
The other condition was that he needed to be able to "navigate" all the way next to Daimon, and artificial undead weren't intelligent, they just followed orders like robots, Daimon tried to do the same thing with a disposable artificial undead, and what appeared next to him were just pieces of bones, which were totally death.
Also, he couldn't take other artificial undead as subordinates for some reason, so if Horals didn't somehow develop wisdom, then this whole thing wouldn't have worked.
