Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
-
chapter-306
The moment Zatiel returned, Totto, Zitra, and everyone else felt an immense weight leaving their shoulders and peace return to their minds.
No matter how dire the circumstances were or how powerful was the opponent in front of them, in their minds, it was engraved the thought that Zatiel could always handle any threat that presented itself, no matter how great it was.
A smile and admiration appeared in the normal members of the Daybreak Clan when they saw their leader's imposing figure in the sky.
The reaction of the Neo-Demons was more notable. Devotion filled the eyes of the adults and children as they unconsciously knelt, while a sense of comfort and peace overflowed their hearts. They even felt their Chaotic-Cores began to spin faster and their energy pool growing.
Some Neo-Demons babies who had never seen the ancestor before were baffled for a moment, but the next second, an innocent smile appeared on their faces, and they attempted to fly to him. Luckily, their elders were able to catch them, but they kept struggling and extended their little arms, trying to shorten the distance between them.Zatiel's consciousness was able to cover the entirety of the City of the Sun. When he saw those little Neo-Demons doing all they could to get close to him, a kind smile appeared on his face, and warmth filled his heart.
He had reached the Magi World a couple of minutes ago by using the World Gate that was built on the lower floor of the Daybreak Magic Tower. This was one of the tasks he had given to Dante before sending him out of the Beta Heavenly World.
No one detected his presence, except for the Elder Brain, but Dante's consciousness that was controlling it was told to remain silent. The Neo-Demon did not want the news that he had come back to the Magi World spreading.
Working in the shadows was easier and allowed Zatiel a wider range of activities in the Magi World, where everything was always being monitored by powerhouses. To the Neo-Demon, fame was meaningless, and there wasn't much he would gain by displaying his might to the world.
Unfortunately, he was not an omnipotent being and could not always have things go his way. Andras' arrival had forced him to reveal himself since he would not allow someone who had attempted to harm his people to escape his grasp.
'Well, it doesn't really matter. Things will be a little messier, but at least this way, they will know who to fear.'
Zatiel did not bother with the problems of tomorrow and focused on the problems of today. He raised his index finger, and from it, a tiny drop of purple blood heavier than a massive boulder appeared.The drop of blood flew to Ezequiel's head and vanished inside it. The next moment, dense purple flames began to permeate the insides of the Supreme Neo-Demon, and an aura full of vitality and strength radiated from him.
When Totto, who had been monitoring the condition of Ezequiel as he sent vitality to him, perceived the effects of the purple flame, he was shocked.
Although Ezequiel had not harmed his soul, his consciousness, body, and energy were submitted to immense stress and would be in a weakened state for a long time. The Supreme Neo-Demon would have needed absolute rest for several months along with powerful medicines before returning to his peak.
But now, the purple flames were fixing all the damage with an unbelievable speed, and the Lich would not be surprised if he recovered in a couple of hours.
Totto's surprise did not end there. After a moment, he realized that the flames were not only healing the damage but also tempering Ezequiel's centers of power, which would allow him to resist even greater burdens in the future.
"I am aware of everything that happened in my absence. I will have a more meaningful and long talk with all of you after this is over, but for now, return to the Daybreak Magic Tower and focus on the city's defenses." Zatiel kept looking at the Bloodline Magus in the sky as he spoke those words.
The four Soul Forging existences that were surrounding the bone hand were surprised when they heard that command. The feeling Andras gave to every one of them was of extreme danger, and they were unable to determine with precision his strength.
The strength of a Rank 5 life form at the 6th Engraving Stage was almost ten times greater than that of someone at the 1st Engraving Stage, not to mention the unique physique one would obtain once your laws had permeated every part of your body.
"I can feel the massive change in you and understand that your power is immense, but it would be better if we all battle together against him. I can assure you I will not be a burden." Nero's eyes were filled with blue light, and his bloodline began to explode with energy making the shadow of his eighth wing appear.
The Fallen eyes fell in Zatiel's wings for a moment, and he did not hide his curiosity, but he knew that this was not the time to ask questions.
"I can perceive the growth in your powers, and your assistance will be useful against this man, but he is not our only opponent." After saying those words, Zatiel stopped looking at Andras and focused on the distance, where the entrance to Wasteland was located, just a few kilometers away from the periphery of the force field that covered the City of the Sun.
The whirlpool of purple energy in the right eye of the Neo-Demon began to rotate faster for a moment before an invisible blast of energy was fired from it.
Time and space appeared to have no effect on this energy because the moment it was fired from the Rebirth Eye, it immediately reached the entrance of Wasteland.
The next instant, a cry of pain was heard, and cracks appeared in the air before the scene changed, and the presence of nine individuals was revealed.
They were all Bloodline Magi with draconic characteristics, and by the power of their souls, it was clear they were Rank 4 life forms.
One of the Soul Forging existences was a woman with white draconic wings, whose presence was obscured by a strange force. She was grabbing her head while blood leaked from her eyes, and immense pain was visible on her face.
The power of the Rebirth Eye had broken her cloaking spell, and it took advantage of the backlash the woman received to invade her consciousness and began to ravish it.
The Bloodline Magi by her side immediately went to her rescue, but they found it difficult to expel the foreign energy from her consciousness.
Nero and the rest were surprised by the appearance of this group. Initially, they thought Andras had come alone and that they would have been capable of handling him with the help of the magic tower, but it appeared they were too naive.
From the sky, an immense pressure descended on Zatiel and the entire City of the Sun. Its origin was the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom that released the might of his energy.
The golden membrane from the Daybreak Magic Tower protected the City of the Sun and its people, but the land around it began to split apart, and some small mountains were being crushed under the might of this pressure.
"Go." Zatiel just spoke those words before focusing once again on the man in the sky, around whom radiation powerful enough to melt the body of Rank 3 life form was being released.
Totto and the rest nodded before returning to the magic tower with Ezequiel. They all adopted battle positions and were ready to intercept the Rank 4 life forms from the Dragonstone Kingdom in case they attempted to either attack the City of the Sun or help their leader.
Andras could not help but frown as he saw the three eyes of Zatiel focusing on him, especially the one that resembled a portal made of raging purple energy. His instincts were warning him about the immense danger that eye represented.
"I guess the stories about you were not an exaggeration. You are so young, and I can deduce that you awoke your True Soul not too long ago, and yet your power is so high. Truly an impressive genius. I will reiterate, I will take my son and grandson and leave. I am even willing to forget you attacking one of my subordinates. I can assure you that no enmity will be formed between our two organizations for at least one hundred years if you handed them over and break the oath that stupid son of mine made." Andras' voice was calm, and although he spoke in a respectful tone, it was clear he considered himself superior to his opponent.
"You got things wrong. The enmity between our organizations was forged the moment your son dared to think of putting his hand over one of the most innocent members of my clan. I will butcher everyone related to him, and that includes your kingdom." Zatiel's eyes were cold and his words extremely tyrannical, making clear that peace was never an option.
"Are you sure about that?" Andras' voice was still calm, but the pressure he released grew, making storms that covered the sky, not only above the City of the Sun but also thousands of kilometers around it.
"Yes." Zatiel's voice was filled with killing intent. He turned his sight away from Andras and focused on Sirius, who was trying to get away from the attack range of the Daybreak Magic Tower.
