93 Eternal Vengeful Body (1/2)
Although Gwyn's physical prowess and abilities were impressive, in Zatiel eyes they were irrelevant and what calls his attention was his body transformation and the purity and immense power of his bloodline.
'A hybrid bloodline that has reached the peak of the Emperor level and one of the Eternal Temple's body transformation techniques, to be able to train it without the temple facilities he must be pretty smart and talented but there seem to be some flaws,' Numerous thoughts pass for Zatiel's mind as he examined the Eye Holder.
Transformations on the body are very common, especially on those that follow paths similar to the Magi or races that haven't inherently powerful physiques.
Most of these transformations focus on implanting organs of different creatures or special magic object but they don't have a systematic method of advancement and at most, they give a momentary burst on power until you advance into the next Rank.
There are also dangers by performing this type of transformations, as it could contaminate your body if the processing of the organs or magic object is not handled perfectly.
Despite all that, the number of individuals that perform this type of transformation on their body is not small, after all, the races or paths that can improve the energy, soul, and body of an individual in a synergic way are pitiful on the universe.
Of course, there are body transformation techniques that can systematically alter the body and the improvement they give do not enter in conflict with your bloodline or main path, but even if you don't take into account the difficulty to obtain them, most of them require the use of the laws in the transformation of the body.
No matter how much of a genius you are, it is only at the peak of Rank 3 when a life form's soul is powerful enough to start understanding the laws, so to train this type of body transformation techniques you will normally have to use special facilities or the help of a powerhouse that specializes in the use of the laws that the technique uses.
But there are other ways of using the laws without the need of a powerful soul, such as the help provided by a Law Bloodline or your True Name, and Gwyn seems to be able to use the latter to advance.
The body transformation technique that Gwyn use, is part of the techniques created by the Eternal Temple.
The Eternal Temple was a powerful and extremely old organization in the universe, with several Being of Laws as members and an even more powerful existence as the leader.
Zatiel had an encounter with this organization when he was an Abyss Lord, although calling it an encounter was wrong since what happened was that he found a stronghold of the Eternal Temple and kill everybody in it, stole their spells, techniques, and treasures before escaping.
Although the Eternal Temple was known for their vengeful ways, when that happen Zatiel had already achieved a Rank higher than normal Being of Laws and by staying in the layers of the Abyss dominated by him, there was nothing the temple could do.
What Gwyn was training was the Eternal Vengeful Body, one of the temple core techniques and although it don't provide stunning offensive capabilities, its survival abilities were impressive and if one was able to train it to the sixth level, you could achieve eternal life, even if you don't become a Being of Laws.
The Eternal Vengeful Body is indeed impressive, but Zatiel would not train it, after all, a Neo-Demon's body transformation is even better since it uses Elemental Chaos as the main material and that improvement was even more significant when it advance to Rank 4.
As Zatiel was evaluating the Eye Holder, the latter was doing the same to the Neo-Demon.
But unlike Zatiel's calm and analytic expression, on Gwyn's face, there was frustration.
'Why I can not see anything?' Gwyn knitted his brow as he saw Zatiel and wasn't able to detect anything.
His bloodline was related to the spirit, and his True Name was even more special as it gave him the ability to detect the other party feeling and intention generated from their soul.
Although it was not very specific and it was more similar to an instinct, thanks to it was that Gwyn was able to survive this long despite being the target of animosity of a Soul Forging individual.
Eventually, Gwyn broke the silence.
