100 Brothers (2/2)
As Heinz focused all of his power into stabilizing his condition, he felt someone approaching.
The one approaching was Zatiel, and there was a sincere smile on his face as he saw the lengths to which the cultivator went to defeat Lun.
From his back, and a ring of dark flames was generated and it covered the entire dome, hiding the four people inside it from the rest of the members of the empire.
Although this could offend some of them, Zatiel did not care.
”Being able to fuse with a Law Avatar composed of three laws before reaching Rank 5 is something truly amazing, but also extremely dangerous. Your body and soul are not strong enough to withstand that much power.” There was a deep admiration on Zatiel eyes as he saw Heinz.
To fuse with your Law Avatar you must have reached the ”Initial” level of comprehension over the laws that formed this one.
And it was also this the level of comprehension needed to advance to Rank 5.
Normally, Rank 4 existences will strengthen every aspect of themself to the limit and only stop due to the limitation of their law comprehension, being forced to improve their control over the laws before increasing their power even more.
But Heinz's situation was the opposite, his law comprehension had reached the level needed to advance to the next Rank, but since his time on the Rank 4 has not been too long, his soul, energy, and body needed it more training and growth.
Even though Cultivators have the help of their Dao Heart, Heinz's speed of improvement was beyond impressive.
Zatiel activated his Eye of Life and Creation and made his golden flames spread over Heinz's entire body.
Heinz noticed the healing properties of the flames but although he feels thankful for Zatiel action, he knew it was futile.
As a Rank 4 life form, the help that healing spells of someone at Rank 1 could bring him was null, but just as he was about to tell Zatiel to stop, he felt his condition improving.
To someone like him, a panacea that could bring a Rank 2 life form from the brink of death to his top condition, could at most heal some superficial wounds.
But although the speed at which this golden flames acted was very slow, it was able to heal every wound on his body, even the ones related to his vital organs.
But his wonder did not stop here, and Heinz could hardly believe what he hears next.
”Lower the defenses around your soul and leet my flames touch it.”
Someone at Rank 1 treating the wounds on the body of a Soul Forging existence was impressive but been able to heal a True Soul was incredible.
But Heinz did not hesitate for a moment and followed Zatiel instructing, letting the golden flames reach his True Soul.
When Zatiel saw the trust that Heinz showed, he could not help but shake his head and smile.
'Truly a lunatic.'
The True Soul of someone was extremely especial and now that Heinz had lowered his defenses if Zatiel were to act with malice, he could generate irreversible damage.
Seeing the way the cultivator was treating him, Zatiel focused before taking from his spatial ring, corpses of Rank 2 magical creatures and burn them with his golden flame.
Once the flames started to consume the corpses, he used his Eye of LIfe and Creation to access all the life force inside the flames and send them to Heinz's soul.
The proceed continued for almost twenty hours and despite the fact that he used some corpses as an intermediary to reduce the flames he needed to supply, he was forced to stop, as his reverses were completely depleted.
But although they were very far from completely healing his body and soul, Heinz was very happy.
The truly severe damage caused to his body and soul was already treated, and as long he does not fuse himself with his Law Avatar again, the wounds that remained could not hinder him in any way.
This was amazing news for Heinz, as originally he was ready to enter deep seclusion for some years to heal himself.
Now blood had returned to his face and his eyes were full of vitality.
”HAHAHAHA, I did not make a mistake choosing you as my brother!” Heinz's smile was glorious and none of the aura of the killing god from before was present as he extended his fist to Zatiel.
When Zatiel saw this, he sighed but a smile also appeared on him as he connected his fist with Heinz.
”Yes, we are brothers.”
Before, the only people that Zatiel truly trusted was his race and that was easy because he could always knew their feelings, but the man in front of him was different, he could not control him or see what his heart hides, but despite all that, from this moment on he truly considered him a brother.
