239 I swear on my True Name (1/2)
If the warriors of the Heavenly race were in top conditions, this barrage of chaotic energy beams would not have had the same effect.
Screams were heard as thousands died and the rest of the army flew to the exit of the force field with everything they had.
The Neo-Demon did not pursue them. He had provoked as much damage as he could and chasing them would only endanger his people, after all, there were Rank 4 life forms that waited for them just outside the force field.
”You dare!” The Angelic Paragon with wings made of crystal shouted. Her voice was full of hate and resentment.
In her mind, she was magnanimous when she ended the battle and give beings she considered nothing more than animals the victory.
Someone disobeying her words was unacceptable. Her origin was more special than any other member of the Heavenly race in this world, and her ego was just as great.
Anyone else would be afraid of being the target of such a powerful individual, but Zatiel only sneered.
”Hmph, why the hell I would not dare?. Even if the Law Beings of your garbage world were watching me, I will still do it. What gives you the courage to act so mighty when your entire race is no different than the lowest level fiend?. Every single one of you, winged rats, is no different than trash in my eyes.” Zatiel's words were filled with scorn.
To him, good and evil were just labels that those who are too weak or narrow-minded to understand the truth of the universe, used in hopes of making their lives easier.
Even if the Heavenly race was even more brutal, he could not care, but the fact they behave as if they were the chosen race of the universe, perfect in every sense when their nature is that of hypocrites truly disgusted him.
The Soul Forging existences of the Heavenly race were shocked when they heard the disdain with which Zatiel talked about them. Their eyes were filled with malice and if stares could kill, the Neo-Demon would have been butchered countless times.
”How an animal like you dares to speak about the Law Beings of our glorious race. Just looking at them would make you fall to your knees and beg for their forgiveness. Since you speak so highly of yourself, then why don't you prove your power and fight me, I assure you that no one will interfere in our fight.” There was righteousness in the woman's voice as if she offered a fair chance to Zatiel to prove his words.
”Sure, no problem” Zatiel gave her a mocking smile, but the battle intent in his eyes proved he was serious.
The Rank 4 life forms on both sides were surprised when they heard him. The members of the Havenly race smiled, if Zatiel was dumb enough to accept the fight, they were more than happy to let the woman with wings of crystal and him alone.
”I am not even half a century old, so you just have to decrease your power to the one you have when you were fifty years old, and I will fight you here and now.”
When the members of the Heavenly race heard his words they were conflicted. He had already proved his battle power was high enough to kill a Rank 3 life from with an Emperor bloodline with ease, but at this moment he was severely injured and exhausted.
None of them could decide on the name of the woman, but most of them hoped she would take the fight. If she killed Zatiel, they would get rid of a threat that would reach apocalyptic proportions, once he awakened his True Soul.
”I accept your terms.” After she spoke those words, the Angelic Paragon sealed her True Soul and reduced her power. In the end, she regressed to Peak Rank 3. This proved her great talent since to reach that power within fifty years was shocking.
The Rank 4 life forms on the Magi side were worried about the danger in that fight. Zatiel's power was unbelievable for a Rank 3 life form, but his current condition was deplorable.
The Neo-Demons on the other hand had blind trust in their Ancestor. Ezequiel knew that there was no way his Master would do something he was not confident so he stopped paying attention and focused on his injuries.
