168 The price to pay (1/2)
The Law of Shadows and the Law of Light in the room were being manipulated by Zitra, and despite the might of the white spark if she were to channel all of her power into them, they will act again.
But just like her laws, the Magus was captivated by the white spark. She could feel all sorts of wonderful phenomena acting inside it, and she was even more impressed when she saw in it a reflection of her own younger self when she was an infant.
It was as if in the spark, the beginning of her life was being displayed.
The white spark was present less than a second before it vanished, making the shadows and light in the room act again.
It took a moment for Zitra to focus after the white spark disappeared. But the image of it in her mind remained very clear.
”Please, demonstrate it again!” Zitra could not hide the desire in her voice.
In the white spark, she saw the path in which her laws will attain a level she did not though it was possible before.
However, when she saw Zatiel condition she saw how great was the price he had to pay to create it.
The youthful appearance of the Neo-Demon had deteriorated greatly and it seems he had aged decades, his breathing was harsh and it was clear he was extremely exhausted.
”I'm sorry for my thoughtlessness, are you all right?” Zitra voice was soft and her eyes were focused on Zatiel.
If anyone who knows her were to hear her words, they will be surprised. Due to her appearance, her interaction with men had always been problematic, especially when she was weak, which made her attitude to most of them distant and cold.
Zatiel did not have time to care for her words, as he was trying to control his breathing and focus on the Eye of Life and Creation.
His eye glowed and took control over part of the golden fire that the corpse of the Rank 3 magic creature had produced and bathe his body with it.
As the healing power of the flames touched him, his condition started to improve and youth returns to his face.
”Don't worry, I will be fine. This type of injury can be hard for others to heal, but not for me. I underestimated the effect that displaying the white spark would have on me. Anyway, that is the final goal of those who seek dualisms between their laws, if you achieve that with your laws and fully control it, you will be able to become a Being of Laws.”
Zitra's eyes shined with excitement. She was more than clear of the immense difficulty that the path that Zatiel has shown has, but no matter the difficulty, this was a clear path to eternity.
Billions of lives are born in each generation in the Magi World, and yet one of them reaching the Soul Law Domain Rank will be a miracle.
But more than ninety-nine percent of those existences who can decimate continents with a move of their hand perish under the passage of time since they are not able to take the last step to become a Being of Laws.
”I will send these flames to you. You must focus them on where the damage is more severe and is more difficult to heal.”
Zatiel's Eye of Life and Creation once again glowed and he sends all the flames that remained to Zitra's body.
The Magus focus on the fire and at first, she was doubtful of how useful they could be after all she was a Rank 4 life form, but when they interacted with her body she was shocked.
Her light also had healing properties, but although their quantity was much greater, they could not compare in their quality.
She felt how even those wounds that had damaged her internal organs were healed, and immediately she made the flames fill her bloodstream before starting to forcefully purged the harmful energy inside her blood.
This accelerated method produced great damage in her body, but by using the golden flames she was able to withstand it.
After an hour the flame was completely spent. Although Zitra was very tired and her face was pale, she was able to remove most of the energy that those Angelic Paragons left in her body, which will make her healing from now on much faster and smoother.
Zatiel analyzed her condition once again with his Eye of Life and Creation and when he saw her great improvement he nods and stands up before walking to the door.
Zitra saw as Zatiel was leaving and although she had many questions, she remained silent and did not stop him.
The help he had given her was immense and she did not dare to ask for more.
