96 Arrival of Rank 4 (1/2)

It didn't take long for the team of four to reach the surface and the moment they did, they become the center of attention of everyone.

The Rank 3 Magus Grigori and the Eye King Meinz had their full attention on the man that was at the head of the group.

The meaning behind their stares was different but the reason was the same.

When James' sorry figure exited the cave with a face full of terror and flying with all his strength to the platform of Dynasty, both Rank 3 individual knew that something important has occurred, and although Grigori could not interrogate the Eye Lord, the absence of his partner gave him some clues.

And since apart from Kira, the only other Rank 2 Magus in the cave at the moment was Nimir, he had an idea of what happened.

But when the eyes of the duo reached the crystal on Zatiel's hand, they were shocked and immediately an immense greed appear on their faces.

The Fallen Star mineral that the members of the empire and dynasty had collected during these months was meant to construct Void Gates that could help you reach any world or plane on the void and from where groups of powerful individuals could use their abilities to overcome their defenses and invade it.

But with the Star Heart that Zatiel hand on his hand, you could build World Gates that could transport you directly into a different world, bypassing the world defenses and making any invasion much easier.

Although to Soul Forging existence there is not much difference in terms of transportation, if a Rank 3 individual had the Star Heart, he could begin invading Low Worlds secretly and amass great fortunes.

The desire in the eyes of Grigori and Meinz was immense, but in the end, they could only give up.

Meinz has signed a blood contract that stops him from attacking any member form the empire, and Grigori's thinks that the Star Heart was not the property of Zatiel, but from the powerhouse behind him and in the Magus mind there is no point in having wealth if you are dead.

Zatiel did not react to the stares of the duo and continue flying to the platform, it wasn't that he don't notice them but he just not care.

Even if your opponents are incredibly powerful, if they don't dare to act then why bother with them?.

It only took a moment for the four of them to reach the platform, and when they did, Zatiel immediately deposits the Star Heart in it before going to a corner accompanied by Ezequiel and Sophia.

As for Kira, she went with those Rank 1 Magus that were under the same powerhouse as her.

The Magus wasn't delusional enough to think that she had formed some sort of connection with Zatiel but she was not sad for their departure and there was a smile on her face, after all, secure the help of someone that would surely reach Rank 4 was something exciting and could possibly save her life in the future.

\”We will not enter again in the cave since the fallen star that remains is pitiful, so let focus on recovering and we will wait for the Soul Forging that will come for the platform.\”

Seeing that there was no objection from the duo, Zatiel made a dome of black flames cover them.

As they waited, both Zatiel and Ezequiel were devouring a great amount of meat from some magical creatures and focusing on regenerating their bodies.

Thanks to the help of the golden flames, Zatiel was able to regenerate his arm and heal Ezequiel wounds in less than a day.
