Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-312

The youngsters and the mature woman were confused by the reaction of the man. Every person at the table had an incredibly high status, and that of the man at the head was the greatest, not only in this group but in the entire Magi World.

His sight was aimed so high that nothing short of the destruction of a continent would be able to draw his absolute attention.

Excitement filled the eyes of the man, and the next moment he began to laugh with all the strength of his body. The sound of his laughter was like thunders, and the shock waves it released had the power of a Peak Rank 4 spell.

Rank 6 life forms could achieve that feat if they added energy or soul force to their voice, but the man did not do such a thing. The power in his laugh was the result of him not restraining the strength of his body.

Those at the table were very strong, and they were familiar with the man's wild nature. A Rank 4 spell could not endanger their lives, but they were forced to activate their magical defense unless they wanted to end up hurt.

The only one who did not have to do anything to resist the man's laugh was the mature woman. The moment the shock waves got closer to her body, they appeared to clash against an invisible shield.

"What excited you so much, husband?" The woman asked with a calm tone. She also waved her hand and erased the shock waves generated by the man's laugh.

The youngsters were not able to maintain the grace and calmness of their mother. They waited with expectancy for the answer of their father.

It was only when he heard the voice of his wife that the man sealed the power of his body and turned to his family.

"It is the singularity that created a clan in the Aeternum Empire, Zatiel Daybreak. He had just created a Rank 4 Soul Rune, while his True Soul is at the First Origin Cycle."

The eyes of the youngsters widened when they heard that news. A peculiar expression appeared in the faces of the two oldest.

The mature woman also showed surprise, but her reaction was much calmer than that of her children.

"It is indeed impressive that he was able to pull such an amazing feat with his energy pool and the current power of his soul. However, that just meant he had reached a very high level in Runecrafting in his past life." The woman's power and position could be considered between the top five inside the Magi World, and there is almost no mystery that could hide from her.

Zatiel had made less and less effort in hiding the fact this was not his first life, to the point that he did not even care if others found out about it by now.

His power, expertise, and knowledge could be explained if he had special backing. However, his aura and temperament were clearly that of a legendary being that had lived a very long time and experienced the truth of the universe.

She did not look down on the Neo-Demon's achievement since being a Rank 4 Soul Runemaster was impressive. Nevertheless, she did not consider Zatiel's feat astonishing since she took into consideration how long he had been alive.

You would be shocked if a ten-year-old child could solve a mathematical problem meant for grad students, but you would see things differently if you knew the child had the mind and knowledge of a man who had learned advanced mathematics for more than twenty years.

His husband's skills and status were so high that he looked down on Rank 4 and 5 Soul Runemasters, and only those who had reached Rank 6 could barely enter his sight.

"I would not care if he was just a Rank 4 Soul Runemaster, but he was able to make his Soul Rune develop a soul. He is an Animax Soul Runemaster!" The smile on the man grew wider when he spoke the last part.

When the youngsters heard those words, they were shocked. This time the reaction of the woman was the same as theirs.

Although there is only one word of difference between Soul Runemaster and Animax Soul Runemaster, the difference is higher than heaven and hell.

An Animax Soul Runemaster is someone capable of creating a Soul Rune that can develop its own soul. Those runes have the name Animax Soul Runes, and not only they have several times the power of the original Soul Rune but also constantly refine and nurture the True Soul of an individual.

The knowledge of how to create Animax Soul Runes was inside a Path Technique known as The Ultimate Rune Path. That technique appeared out of nowhere in the mind of every Rank 6 Soul Runemaster, who had yet to become a Being of Laws, a couple millions of years ago. Many theories appeared about where this Path Technique came from, but no one had been able to find out its origin.

The magic knowledge and theories in The Ultimate Rune Path were so deep and complicated that unless you master them and trully become an Animax Soul Runemaster, sharing that knowledge and passing it down was impossible. When some Being of Laws learned about it, they attempted to forcefully extract the knowledge from the mind of the Rank 6 life forms, but they end up with nothing but a bunch of illogical data.

As the years passed, awareness about The Ultimate Rune Path became rarer and rarer due to the Rank 6 Soul Runemaster that had it dying before becoming Animax Soul Runemasters and able to pass down the knowledge.

Even in Principal Worlds, it is rare to find people that know about and understand the meaning of the title Animax Soul Runemaster.

"Such a brazen display of power and skill, without showing any kind fear for the repercussions. It is clear that he doesn't consider Rank 6 life forms a real threat. Whoever his previous identity was, he definitely broke the shackles of lifespan. His survival skills must be high enough that nothing inside the Magi World can truly kill him."

When they heard those words, they realized that Zatiel's previous identity was definitely superior to that of a Rank 6 life form.

"I was beginning to think that I would have to ascend before entering in contact with another Animax Soul Runemaster. Finally, the Magi World had its second Animax Soul Runemaster!."

The man could not help but laugh again, and excitement filled his eyes. Before Zatiel created the purple and golden Animax Soul Rune, he was the only Animax Soul Runemaster inside the Magi World.

This man had many titles, and Animax Soul Runemaster was the least known. He was known as The Strongest Man in the Magi World, The Definitive Hunter, The Demon Slayer, The King of the Scientia Kingdom, John Eric Rebellion.

This man also had another title known only by the leaders of the great organizations inside the Magi World, and this one sow fear in their hearts.

That title was Law Rival, and he earned it by once fighting a Being of Laws!.

"If he passes the test, I may obtain some help to fix the flaws in my understating of The Ultimate Rune Path, which will make my ascension much easier. I should give him something helpful if I want his assistance. I will go for a hunt."

An expression of concern appeared on John's wife and children when they heard that last word. He only used the term hunt when it was something dangerous. None of them asked if he needed help. Although together they could level any continent inside the Magi World, they would only be a burden if they accompany him on a journey he found dangerous.

"I will return in a month if I am lucky, in three months if I found a Rank 7 threat. If I die, I should be able to return before a decade. Make sure the cardinal rules put by the Forefather are respected and only awake my Avatar in case of emergency." After seeing that his wife understood his instructions, John turned to one of his sons.

"Gabriel."

The second oldest of the youngsters immediately stood up once his name was spoken and gave a small bow to his father. His eyes were filled with filial piety and admiration.

"Yes, Sir."

"You have formed a good relationship with the Daybreak Clan. Go to the City of the Sun and explain to him the trial and what will happen if he refuses to take it. Be respectful and make it clear that the trial will take place inside the Magi World. It will begin when I return from my hunting trip." John spoke in a carefree tone, but his voice carried a tone full of might and dignity.

"I will follow Father's instructions," Gabriel vowed once again.

"Be careful while I am away." After saying those words, John Eric Rebellion disappeared from the Magi World.
