306 Unreconcilable enmity (1/2)
No matter how dire the circumstances were or how powerful was the opponent in front of them, in their minds, it was engraved the thought that Zatiel could always handle any threat that presented itself, no matter how great it was.
A smile and admiration appeared in the normal members of the Daybreak Clan when they saw their leader's imposing figure in the sky.
The reaction of the Neo-Demons was more notable. Devotion filled the eyes of the adults and children as they unconsciously knelt, while a sense of comfort and peace overflowed their hearts. They even felt their Chaotic-Cores began to spin faster and their energy pool growing.
Some Neo-Demons babies who had never seen the ancestor before were baffled for a moment, but the next second, an innocent smile appeared on their faces, and they attempted to fly to him. Luckily, their elders were able to catch them, but they kept struggling and extended their little arms, trying to shorten the distance between them.
Zatiel's consciousness was able to cover the entirety of the City of the Sun. When he saw those little Neo-Demons doing all they could to get close to him, a kind smile appeared on his face, and warmth filled his heart.
He had reached the Magi World a couple of minutes ago by using the World Gate that was built on the lower floor of the Daybreak Magic Tower. This was one of the tasks he had given to Dante before sending him out of the Beta Heavenly World.
No one detected his presence, except for the Elder Brain, but Dante's consciousness that was controlling it was told to remain silent. The Neo-Demon did not want the news that he had come back to the Magi World spreading.
Working in the shadows was easier and allowed Zatiel a wider range of activities in the Magi World, where everything was always being monitored by powerhouses. To the Neo-Demon, fame was meaningless, and there wasn't much he would gain by displaying his might to the world.
Unfortunately, he was not an omnipotent being and could not always have things go his way. Andras' arrival had forced him to reveal himself since he would not allow someone who had attempted to harm his people to escape his grasp.
'Well, it doesn't really matter. Things will be a little messier, but at least this way, they will know who to fear.'
Zatiel did not bother with the problems of tomorrow and focused on the problems of today. He raised his index finger, and from it, a tiny drop of purple blood heavier than a massive boulder appeared.
The drop of blood flew to Ezequiel's head and vanished inside it. The next moment, dense purple flames began to permeate the insides of the Supreme Neo-Demon, and an aura full of vitality and strength radiated from him.
Although Ezequiel had not harmed his soul, his consciousness, body, and energy were submitted to immense stress and would be in a weakened state for a long time. The Supreme Neo-Demon would have needed absolute rest for several months along with powerful medicines before returning to his peak.
But now, the purple flames were fixing all the damage with an unbelievable speed, and the Lich would not be surprised if he recovered in a couple of hours.
Totto's surprise did not end there. After a moment, he realized that the flames were not only healing the damage but also tempering Ezequiel's centers of power, which would allow him to resist even greater burdens in the future.
”I am aware of everything that happened in my absence. I will have a more meaningful and long talk with all of you after this is over, but for now, return to the Daybreak Magic Tower and focus on the city's defenses.” Zatiel kept looking at the Bloodline Magus in the sky as he spoke those words.
The four Soul Forging existences that were surrounding the bone hand were surprised when they heard that command. The feeling Andras gave to every one of them was of extreme danger, and they were unable to determine with precision his strength.
The strength of a Rank 5 life form at the 6th Engraving Stage was almost ten times greater than that of someone at the 1st Engraving Stage, not to mention the unique physique one would obtain once your laws had permeated every part of your body.
”I can feel the massive change in you and understand that your power is immense, but it would be better if we all battle together against him. I can assure you I will not be a burden.” Nero's eyes were filled with blue light, and his bloodline began to explode with energy making the shadow of his eighth wing appear.
