Zatiel's appearance had changed greatly over the last few weeks. The Neo-Demon appeared no different than a decrepit man with one foot already in the grave. His hair was white, and wrinkles filled his face.

His life force acted strangely. There were times it resembled an ember about to be put out, just to be fueled in the next second by a strange energy that gave the illusion of being the physical manifestation of powerful emotions.

Despite his frail appearance and the fact he found it hard to maintain his body straight, Zatiel's aura was as unwavering as always. His three eyes were bleeding without stop, but they also showed his endless determination as he pushed himself to work harder.

Next to Zatiel, there was a beautiful woman, and her gorgeous green eyes did not move away from him. Zitra's face revealed the distress inside her heart as she witnessed Zatiel's self-destructing behavior. On more than one occasion, she had wanted to tell him to rest, but the Magus knew very well that there was nothing she could do or say to stop him.

Zatiel had just finished the runic formation when he started to tremble uncontrollably. Zatiel grabbed his head while blood was coming from his eyes, mouth, ears, and he crumbled to the ground. The pain he was feeling was so great that he could not even scream, and he twisted on the ground as he attempted to take back control over his body.

When Zitra saw this, she instinctively approached Zatiel's side, but just as she was about to touch him, her hand froze. The pain started to grow due to the pressure Zatiel was putting on himself, and she already knew that trying to help him would be of no use. She just remained by his side and waited.

The Neo-Demon slammed his head against the ground as he resisted the agony. The pain the wound of his soul generated had evolved. If what he felt at the beginning was similar to breaking a bone, then now it was comparable to ripping his whole arm.

By the time the wave of pain had finished, Zatiel was panting. He took a moment to adopt a meditative position before looking at Zitra.

”Let's... go.” Despite the inhumane torture that he had just felt and that he will have to endure very soon again, Zatiel's voice was still perfectly calm.

Zitra limited herself to nodding before covering both with shadows and disappearing.

In the void, an amorphous entity made of what appeared to be tentacles created of boiling asphalt moved through the elemental chaos. Time and space twisted around it, which made its already impressive speed grow higher and higher.

But these crazy killing machines behaved differently this time. They were running away from that amorphous entity. You could see how some of the wiser ones displayed immense fear in their eyes.

One of the Void Creatures was too slow and wasn't able to move away from the entity's path. Seeing that a fight was inevitable, the ferocious nature of the Void Creature took control, and he roared to the amorphous mass of tentacles.

The Void Creature had the appearance of a winged bear with protruding bones all over his body. The creature size was immense, being several thousand times larger than the amorphous entity, but the last one made no effort in changing its path or reducing its speed.

When they were about to crash, the tentacles made of boiling asphalt grew immensely. The entity took the form of a monstrous mouth full of spiked teeth, and the Void Creature wasn't able to do anything before being swallowed.

Cries of pain could be heard from inside the entity, but they stopped after a second. The entity returned to its original form before continuing its path.

In the core of the territories dominated by the Eye Dynasty, there was an amazing forest known as the Sacred Forest. The trees were so large that they broke the clouds, and you could find all types of extraordinary fruits on them.

All kinds of animals could be found inside this forest, from tiny insects to large mammals, but that was not all since you could also see life forms made of rocks and other strange beings.

Even the weakest one of them was a Rank 4 life form, but the sentience of every single one of them was no different than a normal animal of the mortal world.

The life forms inside the Sacred Forest lived in complete harmony, and even those who had ferocious appearances were extremely peaceful.
