300 Invictus II (1/2)

The two Rank 3 Magi that accompanied Sirius and Jenner were not bound, but they were so afraid that they did not dare to move a muscle. Other than fear, the emotion that awoke in their hearts was respect. Regardless of their personal feelings for Ezequiel, they could not help but feel admiration for the Neo-Demon.

Just like them, Ezequiel was a Rank 3 life form, but they would never dare to behave so brazenly in front of Soul Forging existences, no matter what kind of background they had.

The words of the Neo-Demon made sense to him, but not for the other two Rank 3 Magi.

Ezequiel's mentality made him see only two great differences in power, those who are still bound to their life span and the ones who had shattered their mortal cocoon and reached eternity.

For the Supreme Neo-Demon, only those who had become Beings of Laws were allowed to be arrogant and felt pride in their achievements. The rest of the life forms that have yet to reach Rank 7, like him, must never be satisfied with their power and always have to give their best as they move forward, pushing their talent and potential beyond their limits.

That type of mentality could only be born in a person who saw his talent as barely acceptable, despite being the highest possible tier in the universe. For him, having the label of absolute genius in a Principal World was meaningless.

For those like Sirius and Jenner, awakening their True Soul was an amazing achievement that should earn them the admiration of everybody. Even if their talent was greater, that type of reasoning was bound to limit how much they could grow.

The pressure on the duo kept rising, as did the power in the arrows. It did not pass long before every single one of those hundreds of projectiles reached a strength equal to a Rank 4 spell.

”If you kill me, my father will exterminate you and every single person in your clan!.” Sirius was bleeding from his eyes and mouth as he screamed like a crazy beast.

”The higher-ups from the empire will butcher all of you if someone so important like me, the Head of the Empire Commercial Association, were to die.” Jenner was having a better time resisting the pressure from the tower, but she still could not refrain from coughing blood.

Those threats only made Ezequiel's disappointment grow larger. The Neo-Demon waved his hand, and the duo rose in the air until they were in front of his face.

The fear in the hearts of Jenner and Sirius grew when they heard those words. Being avenged would not bring them any satisfaction if they were dead.

”It is true that killing you two would have dire consequences and allow those rats in the darkness to attack us. I don't know the precise power of those behind you two, but I am sure they are at least Law Engraving existences. Although we have the means to face off a Rank 5 life form, even if we win, the casualties would be too high among the weak members of the clan.”

The duo was able to relax when they heard Ezequiel's words, but that did not last very long.

The Neo-Demon made a black tablet appear and allowed the Magi to read the words in it.

”To the right hand of Zatiel Daybreak, Ezequiel. According to our deal, I grant you this tablet that you can use to instantly summon a squad led by the First Prince to slay any group attacking your people and then relocate the Daybreak Clan to an island near the Wuxuan continent, where they will enjoy the protection of the Scientia Kingdom. King of the Scientia Kingdom, John Eric Rebellion.”

Sirius and Jenner's bodies trembled when they read the message on that table, and the shock they felt was the greater they have experienced in their lives. They did not doubt the authenticity of the tablet since no one would dare to falsify a message from the greatest powerhouse inside the Magi World, not to mention the words had the power of the laws in them, something only an individual who had reached the Soul Law Domain Rank could do.

”Doesn't this.... doesn't this mean you have already secured the safety of your people?” Jenner did not know how strong the First Prince of the Scientia Kingdom was, but thanks to her position, she had learned he was the one who handled the security for the Wisdom Auction House. He was the one, who with a single roar, pierced the consciousness of a Rank 6 life form and forced him to run.

When Ezequiel heard the words of the woman, a smile appeared on his face, and then he began to laugh.
