Abyssal Lord of the Magi World
chapter-380

The people outside the dark veil did not know what was happening inside it, and no one dared to temp their luck driving their consciousness anywhere near it. None of the Rank 6 life forms thought they could trick a Rank 7 life form, much less someone who could kill one with a punch.

All the leaders waited patiently. No one dared to leave since that could anger Ivar, and the High Prince's fate was a perfect example of what will happen if they incite his wrath.

After a few hours, they saw Gwyn leave the veil. The Eye Holder's appearance had not changed at all, but the unique physical pressure he released was hard to miss. Everybody was sure of one thing: the Eye Dynasty's greatest genius had become even more strong and gifted.

"Gwyn, come here." The one who spoke was the little girl with red hair. Unlike her previous easy-going attitude, her face was now solemn, and the Magi and Eye Holders could feel the aura of a leader in her.

Gwyn stared at the Rank 6 Eye Holder for a moment, and there was no fear or docility in his eyes. Of course, he was not a child that would defy someone powerful just for the sake of his ego, so he went to the little girl.

They used their consciousness to speak. Although no one could tell what Gwyn and the woman were saying to each other, the red-haired Eye Holder's annoyed face proved she did not obtain much.

It was only thirty minutes after Gwyn had left that the dark veil vanished, showing Ivar and Zatiel. There was a thoughtful expression in the Being of Laws face as he stared at the Neo-Demon.

The next second, Ivar stopped looking at Zatel and focused on the King of the Scientia Kingdom.

"You and your people follow the codes and guidance of that crazy geezer and are under his protection, so even if I wanted, I could not force you to do anything." Ivar's words reminded everybody the might of the person that was behind the oldest organization of the Magi World.

"If you don't want to participate in the first phase of the war, you don't have to. The truth is that the people of the kingdom would not have been of much help. After all, I need bloodthirsty warriors, not scholars. I do invite you to the second phase, the one that will involve Rank 4 and Rank 5 life forms."

"We will gladly fight at that time, my Lord. We have plenty of great warriors at that Rank in the kingdom, and I hope to participate in this war when the times allow those of my level to enter Gods' Tomb." John Erick was thrilled when he heard Ivar's words. While those beneath Rank 4 lacked proper training in the art of war, the Scientia Kingdom's Royal Family was full of mighty individuals who could jump levels in battle.

Ivar nodded to the King of the Scientia Kingdom before focusing on Roku, and a small smile appeared on his face.

"Our destinies have been connected twice already. Prove in this war that they were not a coincidence and that you are worthy of having my blood running through your veins."

Roku only nodded after hearing Ivar's words, but his eyes were burning with determination. He would prove himself worthy with actions, not words.

The Being of Laws' smile grew wider seeing his descendant's behavior. However, the next moment, coldness returned to his face as he stared at the other leaders.

"All your troops should be ready to mobilize soon. The call to arms will happen the moment I connect Gods' Tomb to the Divinity World." That was the last thing Ivar said before vanishing from the Magi World.

Once Ivar the Flawless disappeared, everyone's eyes converged on the person that was by his side until a few seconds ago.

Zatiel felt how more than ten Soul Law Domain existences, dozens of Rank 5 and hundreds of Rank 4 life forms were looking at him. Any other Soul Forging existence would crumble under such pressure, but to the Neo-Demon, they were like flies, annoying but unimportant.

He was analyzing the things he obtained from Ivar when a consciousness converged on him, making him frown.

"Soul Forging existence, come here now. There are some things that we, the leaders of the greatest organizations of the Magi World, must ask you." The person speaking and who had his consciousness surrounding Zatiel was a bald Rank 6 Magus, with eyes full of green fire and animal tattoos covering his body. Anyone who focused on him would see the illusion of a giant diabolical elephant.

When the other leaders saw how the man used their names to pressure Zatiel, their eyes narrowed, but they remained quiet, giving their tactical approval.

The Neo-Demon sighed when he saw this happening but was not surprised. The interactions he had with Ivar were enough to show everybody he was not just a Rank 6 life form that failed to ascend and was lucky enough to reincarnate.

A Taboo Existence would not have raised that much interest in other Soul Law Domain existences. After all, they had reached the same level.

However, things would be much different if Zatiel was a Being of Laws in his past life. That would make him a treasure trove that anyone could take advantage of now that he was weak.

Zatiel's unique Mind Force allowed him to feel the emotions behind everybody's gaze. Most of them contained nefarious intentions, but there were three that drew his attention.

The first was John Erick Rebellion, who was looking at him with a smile. The King of the Scientia Kingdom was like a child about to watch a great show. The one he was mocking was not Zatiel but the rest of the Rank 6 life forms.

The other was Gwyn. The Eye Holder glanced at him with a questioning gaze and quietly hinting for him to ask the help of the little red-haired girl.

The last one was Roku. He was waiting for an excuse to provide his help.

Zatiel was surprised by Roku's attitude, but it was not hard to figure out he wanted to form a relationship with the Neo-Demon.

Depending on how he handled this situation, his life and that of his people in the Magi World would change drastically. If he showed the slightest sign of weakness, they would push him harder and harder to obtain what they wanted.

In essence, one single move in false would make his stay in the Magi World impossible.

"Hahahahaha!"

Of all the reactions Zatiel could have, him laughing with all his strength was one no one expected.

A bad feeling appeared in the heart of the bald Rank 6 life form, but in front of him, there was the knowledge that could help him reach eternity, so he was not willing to give up.

"What are you laughing at?" After saying those words, his consciousness began to pressure Zatiel, making the bones of this one crack.

Although he felt pain, the Neo-Demon did not stop smiling and analyzed the Soul Law Domain existence with his Rebirth Eye. The next moment, the reason for the bald Magus' aggressive behavior became evident for the Neo-Demon.

The Rebirth Eye showed Zatiel the weak life force in the man. He did not have much time left, so he was desperate for a safe way to Rank 7.

"The reason I laugh is that not having to hide the fact that every single one of you is beneath me is truly liberating. Other than a few exceptions, you are all garbage whose names I would not even bother remembering."

Before, Zatiel's laugh surprised them, but this time, they were utterly shocked. Such grandeur and might was one you would expect from a Being of Laws, not a Rank 4 life form that many present could kill with a single strike.

The Neo-Demon stared at the Soul Law Domain existences with coldness.

"All of you should remember this lesson. Even if you are the leaders of the most powerful organizations of a Principal World, I can still seal your fates with a few words, like I am about to do now."

Zatiel focused on the bald Rank 6 Magus and smiled at him, making his heart grow cold.

"John Erick Rebellion, kill that man, and you will become the first student of my Runecrafting School."

The bald Rank 6 life form's heart calmed down for a moment when he heard those words. The King of the Scientia Kingdom was known for never starting a conflict inside the Magi World unless someone provoked him, so there was no way he would kill an organization's leader just to learn rune crafting from a fallen Being of Laws.

At least, that was what he and everybody else thought until a wave of killing intent filled the air.

Under everybody's watch, the King of the Scientia Kingdom flashed at the bald Rank 6 life form and fired a fist with enough strength to split a continent apart.
