307 Fire vs fire (1/2)

The True Soul of the Magus could not even fight back before being sealed. Sirius lost consciousness, and a force grabbed his body along with the one of Jenner.

Both Rank 4 Magi were pulled into Zatiel's direction, and they remained floating right in front of the Neo-Demon.

Andras did not show any emotion when he saw this. Zatiel and Sirius were still inside the range of attack from the Daybreak Magic Tower, and he would not risk receiving an attack with the full power of the Sunlight Core.

Zatiel put the palms of his hands on the back of the heads of the duo and closed his eyes for a moment as he concentrated. The eclipse, in his Bloodline Heart, began to shine with a mysterious purple light and two drops of purple blood, full of minute runes, rose from it.

From each of the palms of the Neo-Demon, one of those drops came out. They entered the heads of Sirius and Jenner before covering the duo in purple flames so thick that their bodies could not be seen.

The purple fire disappeared less than a minute after it swallowed the bodies of the duo. What appeared instead of Sirius and Jenner were two exact copies of Zatiel.

The appearance of these copies surprised everyone, but soon that surprise transformed into disbelief as the consciousness of the Soul Forging existences from the Daybreak Clan and the Dragonstone Kingdom analyzed them.

If it was only the appearance of Zatiel that those copies mimicked, then although they would be surprised and a little confused by his action, there was no reason to be impressed.

However, what was detected in them was Zatiel's unparalleled bloodline, his laws, and the unique abilities of his eyes. They even felt the bizarre characteristics of his soul aura that seemed to be formed by different entities and yet still be one homogeneous force.

The only thing that separated them was that the physical might the copies expressed was inferior to the one of the Neo-Demon.

Andras was shocked for a moment before returning to his calm self. His consciousness was stronger than the Soul Forging existences beneath him, so he was able to have a clearer idea about the power of the clones.

”Clones that can display fifty to sixty percent of your body strength, and the same control over the laws that the original possesses. To build these things with such ease, what laws are the ones you control?”

Creating clones and incarnations is not very hard for individuals who have awoken their True Souls, like Heinz with his Blood Incarnation. However, a lot of time and resources are needed to build them.

For those whose power is connected to a bloodline, this process is even more complicated.

In Andras' case, he would need to hunt down an adult Ash Dragon and carefully extract his bloodline. Even then, it would be difficult for a clone to express all the power of the bloodline since those at Rank 4 and above have a connection to the True Soul, a thing clones don't have.

To generate these clones, Zatiel used the Innate Spell his Rebirth Eclipse Bloodline granted him once his advance to Rank 4 was completed.

The spell's name was Rebirth Incarnation. What it did was to use the eclipse in Zatiel's Bloodline Heart to create a drop of blood that contains a law diagram with all the information about the Neo-Demon.

The drop of blood would then be put in a living vessel that needs to be in the same Rank that Zatiel. After that, the law diagram would galvanize the soul, energy, and body of the vessel to give birth to a copy of the Neo-Demon.

Creating each drop of blood put great pressure on the eclipse in his heart, so Zatiel could not have more than two of his Rebirth Incarnations active at the same time.

The True Soul and energy pool of Jenner and Sirius were strong enough to transform into a copy of the ones of Zatiel after being ignited. However, their bodies were so weak that they could not fully display the might of the Neo-Demon's body.

Zatiel ignored the question of his opponent and instead focused on his Rebirth Incarnations.

'Their bodies may be weaker, but by using my rebirth fire and laws, their striking power should be sufficient. They are burning the soul, energy, and body of the duo to remain active. During a battle, the consumption will grow, but they will last enough, at least for this fight.'

Only after assessing his new spell did Zatiel's eyes landed again in Andras. His perception was powerful, but the might of the Magus' law made it difficult to perform any type of analysis.

”Aren't you angry that I killed your son?” Zatiel detected that even after seeing Sirius being consumed by his purple flames, Andras never showed anger.

When the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom heard that, a small smile appeared on his face.
