264 White egg (1/2)

Eliezer's True Soul felt immense pressure being cast on him. His already diminished power was reduced even more. Before he could even assimilate what had just happened, chains of light and shadows materialized around the Neo-Demon.

The chains formed a cocoon around Sophia's body. This would stop any attempt of external interference.

”RESTRAIN” After that word was pronounced, a red aura strengthened the chain. Eliezer knew that escape was not an option.

Sophia's eyes were cold and pushed the power of the Chaotic-Core to the maximum. The Abyssfire Demon Phoenix bloodline inside her body was still under Eliezer's control. The Neo-Demon needed to devour it.

Above Sophia's body, the image of an Abyssfire Demon Phoenix and a Styx Dragon appeared. They were illusions created by the two bloodlines inside the Neo-Demon's body. Nirvanic Fire formed a dome that contained both creatures.

If the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix had all of his power, it could put up a fight against the Styx Dragon and the devouring ability of the Chaotic-Core. However, it was now under the Ten Tower Formation's force field and the attack of the Nirvanic Fire.

The Styx Dragon's eyes were filled with hunger and cruelty as it looked at his opponent. The creature did not wait and launched itself at the prey in front of him.

Sophia's face was completely calm, a complete contrast to the battlefield above and inside her body.

”Woman, I will kill you, even if it's the last thing I will do!” Eliezer's True Soul clashed with Sophia's True Name. There was madness on the demon's eyes as he endured the power of the Nirvanic Flame. Before, he could have defeated his enemy with ease and provoked great damage to the soul of the Neo-Demon, but now he could not beat the glowing letters.

Even though most of the force in the Nirvanic Flame targeted Eliezer's True Soul, some of its power also reached Sophia's soul. Luckily, her soul was much more resilient than the one of a normal Rank 3 life form due to the constant tempering of Abyss Aura.

Despite the Neo-Demon racial advantages, the Nirvanic Flame was dangerous for her. The lowest threshold for undergoing Nirvanic Rebirth was Rank 4. If the full power of the flame targeted her, she would have perished.

The Styx Dragon was having a much easier time overpowering its opponent and enduring the Nirvanic Flame. The creature attacked the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix without mercy. You could hear the cries of the demonic bloodline as pieces of its body were being eaten.

As the Neo-Demon's bloodline grew stronger, something happened with her True Name.

Eliezer's True Soul had just clashed with his opponent when he noticed how the letter started to morph. The transformation took less than a second. For an instant, white light filled the area.

Before Eliezer could even analyze the change on the Neo-Demon's True Name, an endless force was released from it.

The force grasped the demon's True Soul and began to squeeze it. Eliezer could not believe what was happening. Before they had fought on equal ground, but after the True Name's transformation, he was being crushed.

And the nightmare for the demon was only starting. The True Name not only incapacitate him, but it also began to absorb parts of his True Soul. That was purified and siphoned into Sophia's soul.

Sophia was not too surprised by the fact her True Name had evolved. After the Neo-Demon reached Rank 3, it was already on the brink of evolution. This fight acted as a catalyzer that brought its power to a new level.

She had not considered her True Name's evolution in her plan, since it relied too much on chance. The powers to incapacitate Eliezer's True Soul was not shocking since her True Name had always been related to the soul and spiritual entities.

However, the ability to swallow parts of the demon's soul and send them to her came as a pleasant surprise for Sophia.

With that energy nourishing the Neo-Demon's soul, her capability to overcome Nirvanic Rebirth grew exponentially. Sophia did not let her guard down, but she was able to relax a little and feel the benefits of the Nirvanic Flame.

Sophia felt her soul and consciousness being tempered while the impurities in them were burned.

Inside the magic tower, Zatiel was looking at Sophia with his Eye of Life and Creation. From the moment she started her fight with the Abyssfire Demon Phoenix, he had been awake and monitoring her condition.
