114 Blood Wars (1/2)

Nathan, David, and Henry were truly amazed by the effect of the golden light and the way that those formations were able to connect one with another, transforming the natural energy of the world and sent it into the core, constantly increasing its power.

The runes that Zatiel inscribed could be considered the best of its Rank, but still, they were Rank 2, and the abilities they were currently showing were beyond what runes of its level should be able to perform.

What Zatiel did was applying the concept of runic sets, in which groups of diverse runes are made to work together and empower each other displaying a power above its Rank, into this runic formations.

Although it did not sound too difficult, being able to connect the hundreds of formation that a tower carried and made them work as one was something even some Rank 3 Runemaster did not have the confidence to do.

When Nathan feel that golden light touching his body he understood that these runes formation did not only probed Zatiel abilities as genius runemaster, but it was also showing its imagination to see beyond their original purpose of something and create new ones.

The original purpose of the Perpetual Dynamic Core was purely for battle, but now was working as a source of vitality that affects all those under its light, and although in someone like him, a Rank 3 life form, the effect was almost imperceptible, he was sure that if someone at Rank 0 were to be under this light they will be able to work for days without stop and all of his wound would be healed in a matter of hours.

As a citizen of the Scientia Kingdom, Nathan knew a lot of spells that could produce even better effects that the golden light was generating now, but they use too much energy, and having them active in a radius of hundreds of kilometers was not practical.

But when Nathan analyzed the golden ball of flames and its light, he understood that the vitality it released did not take energy from the flames.

And more impressive yet was that as the ball of golden flames increase in power, also did the vitality effects in its light.

”The title of genius is truly fitting in someone like you. Tell me, is it possible to buy those diagrams and the way to connect them?.” Nathan was truly fascinated with Zatiel rune abilities, and there was great respect in his eyes as he spoke.

To the people of the kingdom, what inspires respect in them the most is not battle power but knowledge, intelligence, and the imagination to use them.

David and Henry were also looking at Zatiel when Nathan ask for the diagrams. Even though the three of them have seen his every movement during the construction of the tower, how to connects the runes and made them work as one, was something they couldn't understand just by watching.

”There is no problem in selling it, but you must know that even if the runes are made perfectly, the effect will not be the same.”

Zatiel was sure that the kingdom must have similar runes formation and he had no problem selling this one.

”I know, it is the source of energy which you used to alter the materials and inscribe the runes the responsible for the vitality effect. But although they are difficult to get, we have some sources of energy with similar abilities in the kingdom.” Nathan was very smart and understood the secrets behind the runic formation.

Of course, he lost an important part and that was that without the Eye of Life and Creation to use the laws in the flames, the effect of the golden fire would have been mediocre and without the capability to grow.

”Good, then how about those automatons for the runic formation” Zatiel found those silver humanoid very useful.

They may not be fit for battle due to the lack of fighting abilities and weak defenses, but they work as excellent construction machines and have the ability to transform their bodies into a liquid state before solidified again with all sorts of forms.

There was a drawback in the fact the there was a need for someone to manipulate them, but the elder brain containing a piece of Dante consciousness will be able to do it without a problem.

”Done,” Nathan was more than satisfied with the transition, even though those automatons were expensive, to him wealth is only useful in the seek of knowledge.

Zatiel handed a crystal that contained the diagram and the way of using those formations to Nathan and this one gave him a silver core.

The moment the crystal reached Nathan's hand, he along David and Henry sent their consciousness inside it.

The reason for their actions wasn't that they thought Zatiel could be tricking them, but due to the immense temptation that new knowledge represented to them.
