207 Terra Eye Clan (1/2)
Zatiel flew to the center of the City of the Sun with the Neo-Demon child in his hand and the two Eye Holders behind him.
There were complicated expressions on their faces as they were still trying to assimilate everything that had discovered.
It is not every day that you found out that a master of the Law of Destiny has targeted you, and put you into a hellish path. Only for another master to interfere and guide you to a monster who can kill an Eye King with a wave of his hand.
Zatiel did not bother with them and was focusing on the state of the members of the Daybreak Clan. Despite the attack happening just a little while ago, most people were going with their days as if nothing had happened.
The adults were used to surprise assaults due to their lives before entering the clan, and they have total trust in the fact that their leader will protect them. Which was proved to them, when they saw the golden force field stopping the meteorites and how the perpetrators had to run for their life with two of them being killed.
It did not take long for Zatiel to reach the area where most of the children stayed and there was an adult Neo-Demon already waiting for him.
”He will wake up in a few hours and will not remember anything that just happened. Keep an eye on him for the time being.”
”I will follow your command, Ancestor.” The Neo-Demon bows to Zatiel, before carefully taking the child and fly away.
A smile appeared on Zatiel face when he saw all the children playing from the sky, and just as he was about to leave, a furry object flew to him with great speed and crashed into his abdomen.
When Zatiel saw the funny expression on Tao's face, he started to laugh as he grabs the dog who was now almost two meters long.
”Tao, you have grown a lot over the past few years.” Zatiel caressed the head of the dog as he spoke, making the smile on this one bigger.
Tao had grown very fast over the years and was already a Peak Rank 2 life form. Although his battle power remained as weak as ever, his defenses were already equal to a normal Rank 3 life form, and his ability to swallow beings and created drones have been strengthened.
His intelligence also improved and was already as smart as any adult human. But his playful nature remained the same and he preferred to spend most of his time either playing with the children or sleeping with his belly to the sun.
”Woof-woof.” Tao was communicating with Zatiel, and although it may seem like they were just barks, the Neo-Demon was able to understand the message in them.
”Oh, you are telling me that with your next advance, you will be able to start affecting the soul of those who you swallow.”
Zatiel was surprised by what he had just heard. They have given Tao living creatures for him to swallow and make drones off, but the results were no different than when he uses corpses.
”Woof-woof.” Tao raised his head with pride and moved his tail from one side to the other when he heard Zatiel's surprise.
”Hahaha, you are a very good boy, Tao.” Zatiel laughed when he saw the attitude of the dog and rubs his head and back for a while.
The tail of Tao moved with even more strength as this happened. His behavior was just like a small child that told his parent he had good grades and wanted to be praised for it.
After obtaining what he wanted, Tao licks Zatiel's face before flying back to the Neo-Demon children.
After the dog leaves, Zatiel face became emotionless and his attitude made a 180° change. He turns around and spoke to the Eye Holders.
”Let's go to the tower. There you will answer my question and I will decide what to do with you.”
The duo understood that Zatiel's words were not a request but a command. There was no going back from the path they have just taken so they nod and follow the Neo-Demon into the magic tower.
...
A couple of hours later in one of the upper floors of the Daybreak Magic Tower, that resembles a throne room, Zatiel was staring at the Eye Holders who were waiting for his decision.
