94 Bring them back (1/2)

Gwyn was shocked when he heard those words. The piece of fallen star that Zatie was talking, was the greatest harvest he obtained in this expedition and something incredibly valuable.

He did not know how Zatiel was able to found it, after all, he went to extremes and did not hesitate to hide it in his stomach despite the immense risk that is having something with such a high concentration of elemental chaos inside him.

\”How did you find out?\”

\”You are not the only one with good eyes.\” Zatiel smiled as the Eye of Life and Creation show him the ball of energy that was present on Gwyn's abdomen.

Gwyn eyes narrowed, but in the end, he could only sigh before opening his mouth and expulse a black crystal the size of a fist.

When the crystal shows up, the amount of pollution on the tunnel increased tremendously, to the point that Kira was forced to use the little amount of energy she had left to protect her body.

As for the three Neo-Demons, the presence of elemental chaos was helping them recover the lost energy and improve their conditions.

In Gwyn's case, his body was able to diminish all types of damage thanks to its incorporeal attribute and as long it was not inside him, the crystal wasn't able to affect him.

\”According to my knowledge this is known as Star Heart and it should be the only one in this entire cave. My power will always come first so I do not have a problem to trade it if you can fix the problem with my technique, but how can I trust you.\” Gwyn was vigilant and his guard was up. His interaction with Zatiel has been short, but he has already lear that the other party could not be belittled.

Zatiel doesn't mind the vigilance of Gwyn, in fact, it made the impression he had of the Eye Holder improve since, despite the fact he was showing Gwyn something he truly needed, he was able to maintain a cold head.

\”What you are training is the Eternal Vengeful Body, but by what I see, you do not have the part that describes how to create the \”Hate Pillars\” which are meant to provide the vitality needed for your body.\”

Gwyn was once again shocked, as in the technique he had there was a mention to the \”Hate Pillars\” that Zatiel spoke, but unfortunately, the part that describes its used and how to make them was missing.

Zatiel doesn't care for Gwyn's surprise and continues.

\”What you are doing is using runes to supplement the vitality that you need, but doing that is treating the symptoms and not the disease and the longer you advance in your body transformation the worst the flaws will become.\” Waiting for a moment and after seeing that the Eye Holder had time to understand what he just say, Zatiel continued.

\”The \”Hate Pillars\” are formed using the vitality of powerful life forms and according to the technique, in the first level you should have made three pillars, in the second there must be a total of twenty-seven and in the third level, the number must reach eighty-one, and from the fourth to the sixth level, you will have to transform the pillars into you own personal \”Nine Hells\”.\”

\”The creator of this technique, made it so he could imprison the people that he hated inside his body, making them suffer for all eternity just like the condemn souls suffer in hell. Give me the Star Heart and I will hand over the technique up to the fourth level, in which it is explained how you must create the first circle of hell.\” After he finishes speaking and seeing the expression on Gwyn's face, Zatiel knew that the Star Heart was already his.

To Gwyn the temptation of the technique was immense and the fact that it was designed to torture your enemies only made him want it more.

So, just as Zatiel thought after a moment, the Eye Holder agrees to the exchange.

Zatiel took an empty crystal from his ring and put the information of the technique inside it, before giving it to Gwyn and take the Star Heart.

Gwyn was excited and without wasting time he sent his consciousness inside the crystal.

The more he read, the greater his excitement becomes, but of course, he will not start training it immediately and will first make some experiment to be sure that there was not hiding tricks in it.
