Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-315

Zatiel saw how the Undying Eclipse Magus was leaving, and all sorts of schemes and plans appeared on his mind.

Soon the Undying Eclipse Knights would become a renowned Path of Power inside the Magi World. Their numbers may be small, but all those with the Undying Eclipse Knighthood Mark would be important figures in each organization.

His actions would anger many of the leaders inside the Magi World, but the Neo-Demon had a way to handle them, at least for the time being. As for the future, why would he care what a bunch of Rank 6 life forms, who in less than a thousand years would be nothing in his eyes?.

Of course, Zatiel did not seek to control any of the great organizations inside the Magi World. He may not care about the Soul Law Domains existences leading them, but he could not ignore the Beings of Laws behind them.

That was especially true for the trio that built the Aeternum Empire, Eye Dynasty, and the Scientia Kingdom.

Besides, the Neo-Demon Realm had all the land and resources that the Neo-Demon race would need to increase their number until reaching the trillions.

The main reason why Zatiel wanted to expand his influence in the Magi World was to establish a connection with the entities that reside in the void around this Principal World of the universe.

Zatiel turned around and saw how Zitra, Totto, Tyrus, and even Nero were looking at him with amazement.

They were used to the Neo-Demon displaying incredible battle power, so although they were impressed with the strength he displayed against Andras, that was not what shocked them.

The reason for their awe was the rune he built. He made that rune develop a real soul, a realm that normally only Beings of Laws could meddle with.

Zatiel found the expression of everyone hilarious. The only one that remained calm was Ezequiel, who just gave a small bow to the Neo-Demon when this one stared at him.

'So he chose Invictus. A superb title and one that is truly fitting for him. I thought I would have an easy time surpassing him now that our bloodlines are at the same level, but it seems I was wrong. If I relax for a moment, I am sure that his battle power will surpass me. His destiny no longer needs me to grow, and its potential could compare with the one of that man when he was young. If he can keep up this driving force, then my chances of surviving the final battle are higher.'

Zatiel's eyes narrowed when he thought about the greatest enemy he would have to face in the future, but the next moment he shook his head and threw those thoughts to the back of his mind. There is a very long time until that happens.

"I know you all have a lot of questions, but let's wait a moment. Two... no, three people are going to join us soon." While Zatiel was speaking those words, the Rebirth Eye was releasing invisible pulses of energy.

Confusion appeared in the eyes of Ezequiel and the rest when they heard those words. None of them could feel anything, but they did not doubt the power in the Neo-Demon's right eye, so they waited.

Soon the first person appeared. It was a young man with blonde hair and was carrying a bloody black sword in his hand. His face was pale, and he was having a hard time regulating his breath.

The man was someone they all knew very well, Heinz. The Cultivator took a moment to analyze the situation around him. His eyes widened the moment he saw Zatiel and felt the immense power inside him.

The next second, the rage in Heinz's eyes disappeared, and he began to laugh.

"Hahaha. I came as fast as I could, thinking you all were in danger, when in fact everything was already fixed. I am glad to see that you have returned, brother."

"Why did you take so long to arrive?" Zatiel was not reproaching him. The bond he had formed with Heinz was one of true brotherhood, tested in the flames of war. He would not hesitate to put his life in the hand of the Cultivator.

The reason for his question was that he knew that Heinz would come to the City of the Sun if a threat arrived. That, plus the obvious signs of battle on him, made clear he had found problems.

Heinz's eye turned cold when he heard that, and the killing intent of the world reacted to his emotions, making red lightning appear above the City of the Sun.

"I was in the capital of the empire when the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom arrived. I left a piece of my consciousness in the Sinux Magic Tower to alert me of any intrusion that could happen. However, after I detected Andras, someone destroyed it, so I was blind to the events happening after that." The killing intent in Heinz's eyes grew when he thought that someone in his magic tower dared to attack him.

"The teleportation formations in the capital were disabled, and I was not able to use them. Using my full power, I should have arrived in less than an hour, but I was ambushed on my way back. They were ten Rank 4 life forms and a Law Engraving existence. The Rank 5 Magus was not a threat, but they used a Runic Formation, allowing them to fuse their energy pools and increase their defenses. They only left after I killed more than half of the Soul Forging existences."

Totto and Zitra looked at each other when they heard the tale of the Cultivator. It was clear that the one targeting the Daybreak Clan was the one behind Heinz's ambush. That person could order Rank 5 life form and had Origin Runic Formations at his disposal.

Zatiel's expression was calm. The Neo-Demon wasn't intimidated by the abilities of his enemy.

"Some of the blood in the sword belongs to the Rank 5 Magus?" Zatiel focused on the blood with his Rebirth Eye.

"Yes, brother. They all hid their identity during the battle, and the dead dissolved into dust. I thought we could use it to learn something about them, but a force is acting on the blood. I am using the Law of Blood to stop it from transforming into dust, but I don't know how long I can last"

Totto and the rest could not help but sigh when they heard that. It would be impossible to use the blood to identify the attackers with Heinz's Law of Blood acting over it and the self-destructive power it carried.

Zatiel focused on the sword, and the Rebirth Eye glowed. The blood was grabbed by an invisible force and pulled into the Neo-Demon's right eye.

Heinz frowned when he saw the blood disappear inside the Rebirth Eye. Other than the Law of Killing, the strongest law Heinz had was the Law of Blood. It was even more powerful than his Law of Sword. Nonetheless, the power in the blood of his enemies was too strong.

He could felt that Zatiel's right eye was special, but he wasn't sure if it would be enough. He used his connection with the blood to check his state, but the moment he did, the world around him disappeared.

The Cultivator found himself in a plane full of purple energy where the Law of Life and the Law of Death were in a state of absolute harmony. He felt incredibly relaxed and did not notice how purple energy was appearing in the eyes of his True Soul.

The seed made of the Law of Killing in his soul dimension detected the danger. It released a wave of red energy that awoke the True Soul and purged the purple energy.

Heinz coughed blood, and the purple plane disappeared from his sight. His action surprised Totto and the others, but Zatiel just shook his head as a drop of blood fell from his eye.

From the Cultivator's shoulder, a ten-centimeter man emerged. He had red hair, a long beard, and his skin appeared to be made of rubies. This was the Blood Ruby Centipede, Juntu, in his humanoid form.

"Are you ok, boy?" Juntu was worried when he felt the power assaulting Heinz's True Soul. Whatever that force was, it was able to bypass the magic creature's spirit defenses.

"I am fine now, don't worry." Heinz took a moment to regulate his breathing, and when he saw that right eye again, there was a solemn expression on his face.

"You have to be more careful. My right eye is too powerful, and I don't have complete control over it." Zatiel could use the Rebirth Eye in battle, and his body and soul were powerful enough to handle the pressure of its power, but he still had a lot to learn about its full potential.

"I am sorry. The good news is that we can now learn the identity of those rats hiding in the darkness." Heinz was sure that the blood would succumb to the power in that eye in no time.

"It doesn't matter..." Zatiel did not finish speaking before looking to the sky, and a peculiar light expression appeared on his face. "It seems that the last two have arrived."

Hundred of kilometers above Zatiel and the City of the Sun, space broke apart, and a shock wave of spacetime force was released. The next moment a young man and woman came off from the crack.
