After the appearance of those killing machines, the Eye Tyrants in the Eye Holder army looked at each other and nodded. As for Finz, he was still trying to understand what was happening, and no one bothered with him.

An old Eye Tyrant walked forward and bowed to Gwyn. Of the members of the army, he was not only the strongest but also the one who had fought the most. He was also the only one who had an aura that came anywhere close to that of the monsters in the sky.

"We will respect the will of the True Lord and leave immediately. We hope that the True Lord is not left with a bad impression of us due to the events occurring today and understands that unlike you, we cannot disregard the stars, moons, and suns of the Magi World." The Eye Tyrant focused on Gwyn and waited for the answer to the message he just sent.

Gwyn's eyes narrowed when he heard the words of the man. After a moment, he nodded with a serious expression on his face.

"Don't worry, I understand. Leave now."

"Thank you." All the Eye Tyrants, other than Finz, bowed to Gwyn and left with the Eye Kings that were part of their clans.

Finz could only see how this happened, and although he attempted to communicate with the other Eye Tyrants, none of them bothered in replying. Soon, the only ones facing Gwyn and the seven killing machines by his side were the Patriarch of Blood Eye Clan and the ten Eye Kings that had been brought by him to this place.

"Go on, run away."

Gwyn's voice reached Finz, and the feeling in this one's heart could not be described. The one you took as the greatest enemy of your life cared so little about you that although he could kill you easily, he allowed you to escape.

"Let's go." He gave the command for his people to leave, but he felt something wrong as he noticed that they all remained motionless.

The Patriarch of the Blood Eye Clan frowned as he saw the empty look in the eyes of his subordinates. He used his consciousness to examine their condition and fear filled his heart. Their souls were crushed, and the broken pieces were being absorbed into Gwyn's heart.

"Is there a problem?" Gwyn's voice was cold and full of tyrannical might.

Finz could not stop his body from trembling due to the hate in his heart. He did not lose control and knew that the most important thing was to return to his clan alive. Looking down, to hide the nasty expression on his face, he flew away as fast as he could.

One of the seven people around Gwyn focused on Finz, and the slaughter aura around him condensed into a short spear.

"Boy, shouldn't we handle him now?" The one who spoke was a short but bulky man with a great scar covering his face and a large beard. The bloodline inside this person was very odd since although it had properties belonging to the Eye Holder race, it also had qualities of the dwarf bloodline.

These unusual characteristics in his bloodline were probably the result of his parent or ancestors belonging to different races. Although the Eye Holder race as a whole did not discriminate against this type of people, there were bloodline extremists who felt nothing but disgust against them.

Gwyn did not mind the carefree tone and nickname this man used with him. Each one of these seven individuals was a soldier of the Death Army who had fought by his side. Some of them had even died helping him when he was young, and he paid an immense price to bring them back to life. The bond they have formed was thicker than blood since they knew that no matter how dangerous things were, they would always be there for each other.

"He is just an insect and cannot escape my grasp, but killing him would provoke some people who I am not ready to fight yet. Besides, if I really wanted him dead, then I would not have stopped this army from marching to the City of the Sun."

When the man heard those words, he tilted his head, and confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Hahaha, Ghostly, you can not speak like that to Little Midget. You know that although he is the third strongest, he is the number one in stupidity." The one who spoke was a beautiful woman that appeared to be in her late twenties. She had a muscular, 190cm body with abundant and feminine curves. Although there were small scars all over her body and her skin was grey, that only helped to improve her charm.

"Who are you calling midget, grey cow!" The dwarf Eye Tyrant responded immediately. Anger could be seen in his face, and the muscle on his body grew one size.

"How did you call me? you filthy midget!" The woman also responded aggressively, and the energy inside her was ready to explode.

Despite the violent behavior of the duo, the others only laughed. This was normal behavior for them, and some were even making bets on who would win this time.

Gwyn was also smiling when he saw this, but the next moment he shook his head.

"This is not a place where we can relax. Haki, tell me, what would happen if you attacked the City of the Sun?."

When they heard those words, everyone, including the woman and the short man, became silent and focused on the person Gwyn just spoke to.

He was a bald man with a great beard and square face. There was nothing distinctive about this man other than the fact he only had his right bloodline eye, and not even the eye socket of the left one was present.

Haki's slaughter aura was calm, but that did not mean it was weaker than the one of the others. Gwyn and the rest knew that it presented itself that way due to this man's granular control over every part of his existence. He was the 2nd strongest of the eight if you only consider battle power, but his greatest forte was his assassination techniques, which allowed him to once kill an injured Law Engraving existence during a World War in a High World.

What was even most shocking about this man was that he possessed the weakest bloodline of the eight, a Rank 3 bloodline. He reached his current strength with unwavering determination. Since his body and soul could not grow stronger, he mastered every technique, dominated every weapon, and learned every piece of magic knowledge that could help him display greater power.

If Gwyn was a heavenly genius who used his unbreakable will to take advantage of his great talent, the Haki was a normal man who used his unyielding determination to break the limits the universe had imposed on him.

If it was in direct combat, Gwyn was confident in obtaining an absolute victory, but if Haki attacked him from the darkness, then not even becoming a Rank 5 life form would make him feel secure.

"The defenses of the city and its monitoring capabilities are too well done, and no flaw is present in them. Every member of the Daybreak Clan can be considered a moving scanner, and they are connected to what I can only assume is a superb system with a reaction speed equal to a Rank 5 life form. I would die before even reaching the core of the city."

Haki's words shocked the others, but he had not finished yet.

"And I am not even taking into consideration the more than a dozen powerful beings that reside inside it."

The people around Gwyn understood Haki's capabilities, and if even he would perish under the might of the City of the Sun, then the army of Eye Holders they had just scared away had no chance at all.

"Do you understand now? Finz may have been too stupid to realize the purpose of the army, but the other Eye Tyrants were not. They were sacrificial pawns, and most of them would have died before even harming a single member of the Daybreak Clan, with only a few lucky ones managing to escape. After the death of so many Eye Holders by the hands of an organization in the Aeternum Empire, the individuals in the shadows would no longer have to hide and could use their true power against Zatiel Daybreak."

Understanding appeared in the eyes of all the Eye Tyrants other than Haki. Their knowledge about wars was excellent, but the movements in the shadows that powers in a Principal World do are too complicated for them.

"Anyway, let's not bother with this anymore. I have paid part of my debt to that man, so we will not meddle with the affairs of other people for a while. All of you should focus on getting ready to take the Holy Trial. Remember, if you obtain a Tier 2 completion in the Rank 4 and Eye King bloodline trials, your bloodlines will be enhanced."

The Eye Tyrants noded, and fighting spirit filled their hearts as they flew away.
