223 Purge VI (1/2)

”Wait, please hear me out!” Anxiety was present in Verius' face when he saw the Lich getting closer to him.

Totto could feel the fear of the Fallen. Although this fight was important to him, it would not hurt to hear what Verius' had to say.

”Speak.”

The rest were confused by the action of the Lich since he had made arrangements to obtain this battle. But it was his fight so the rest remained in silence.

All sorts of ideas and plans were organizing in Verius' mind. After a couple of seconds, he kneeled. His head was so low that if he was not in the sky, it would have touched the ground.

”I can swear loyalty to the Magi World and become your servant. I will swear any type of oath and sign any contract you want to prove my sincerity.”

When the rest of the Fallen saw this, disdain appeared on their faces. He was practically selling himself as a slave.

Verius arrogance was as high as the sky and his pride was immense, even rivaling Nero's. But you would never see Nero begging to survive. The seven winged Fallen would rather die standing than live on his knees.

When Nero saw the thoughtful look in Totto and Heinz, he frowned. They had agreed to leave Verius to Totto, but the Lich was supposed to kill him.

”Him remaining alive will only bring more problems. As long he breathes, he will continue spreading his poison.”

Rage appeared on Verius' eyes when he heard that. if he could, he would rip Nero's wings off and flay him with them.

Totto and Heinz understood the meaning behind Nero's words. Even if he was a slave, he could still create a lot of damage to an organization by spreading fear and lies.

But the duo was not worried about that and the reason was simple.

”You really believe that he can't make this rat behave and assure that he cannot harm anyone?.”

Nero's eyes narrowed when he heard that. They have known each other for a very small time, but he knew that Zatiel was capable of many things.

”I guess you are right.”

When Verius heard that his entire body trembled. He was not bothered by lowering himself to become a servant since he was sure he would be able to rise again in the future. But when he heard the words of Nero, he started to understand that the one behind the Magi invader force is not someone simple.

Just when Totto and Heinz were wondering whether or not to call Zatiel, Zitra's voice interrupted their thoughts.

Totto felt that her word made sense but he was still not sure.

”Can you clarify?”

”How hard do you think it is for the current him to obtain a Soul Forging servant, even if it is someone at the bottom of Rank 4, with his abilities it would not be hard to push him to the peak. We all know how he cares for his clan and certain people that are important to him. If we relay the proposal of someone who betrays those he calls brothers, what do you think he would do?.”

The Lich and the Cultivator understood the truth in her words. The Daybreak Clan already had a Rank 4 life form, and although it was a magic creature, with Zatiel's help it won't be long before it becomes invicible beneath Law Engraving.

”You have been paying a lot of attention to him, haven't you?” There was a smile on Totto's face when he said those words.

But it immediately froze when he felt the killing intent with which the Magus looked at him.

The Lich understood he had crossed a line and he turned to Heinz for help. However, he was out of luck.
