313 Eclipse Magi I (1/2)

The people on the ground could not stare at the Animax Soul Rune for too long. They felt their eyes burning when they saw the rune as if this one was an imposing sun.

Zatiel was analyzing the Animax Soul Rune not only with his A.I. Chip but also with his consciousness. After a moment, the Neo-Demon nodded slightly and pointed at the Magus, who was looking at him with eyes full of amazement.

The Animax Soul Rune moved incredibly fast. Tritus was not able to do anything before this one disappeared inside his head.

Tritus could see how the rune appeared in his soul dimension, and the next second it invaded his soul. Immediately, he was assaulted with immense pain and lost control of his consciousness.

The Magus lost control over his body and was about to fall when Zatiel waved his hand and made an invisible force grab him.

Tritus was feeling immense pain as if his soul was being hammered under an unbearable fire. The agony was so great that he almost fell into madness, but soon he noticed that along with the pain, something else was happening with his soul.

His failure to advance to Rank 4 had left his soul full of wounds, broke pieces of his consciousness, contaminated his energy pool, and wrecked his life force.

Right now, Tritus felt as the Animax Soul Rune was releasing purple tendrils that were mending the wounds on his soul and regenerating his consciousness.

Unlike Neo-Demons who use their bodies and consciousness as reservoirs for energy, a Magi's energy pool was contained solely in the consciousness, so the Animax Soul Rune was able to refine it.

It wasn't long before the tendrils of the Animax Soul Rune completely fused with the Magus' soul. Tritus' soul, consciousness, and energy pool were undergoing a qualitative improvement. Soon they reached a level many times more powerful than their previous peak condition.

The lost ambition that once burned in Tritus' heart returned to him as he felt the wounds on his soul being fixed.

'I need to find a way to regain some of my life force. Then I will be able to, once again, strive to awaken my True Soul and this time truly reach Rank 4.' Tritus could not stop the excitement from showing in his face the moment the process was finished. Healing the damage that his soul had was impossible for him, but there were many ways to regain some life force at his disposal.

The Animax Soul Rune took control of Tritus' energy pool. The Magus could not do anything other than seeing how his energy was being poured into the rune.

Tritus was shocked by the power of the rune, but his sharp mind made him understand very fast his current situation. He was sure that Zatiel could destroy his soul with a single thought if he wanted, and there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Being under the absolute control of another was not a pleasant sensation. However, Tritus was able to accept it after thinking about the identity of the person he would be following. The Magus was sure Zatiel was someone special and that he would become a powerhouse.

He was aware of the severity of his previous condition and not even selling himself to a Soul Law Domain existence would help him, so his current situation was the best he could hope for.

The Animax Soul Rune acted incredibly fast. It consumed half of the Magus' energy pool in a second. The next moment, it inundated Tritus' body with purple flames.

The purple flames permeated his body. It consumed the death force present in it and restored the life force Tritus had lost.

In a matter of minutes, the Magus regained his strong and energetic body. Tritus could not stop smiling when he felt how his life force had returned to the point it reached before the accident. However, what happened next shocked him.

The Magus' life force continued to grow, and soon it reached a level so high that his body began to rejuvenate on its own.

The other Soul Forging existences that were seeing the Magus were also shocked.

One thing is to restore the life force lost due to an accident, and another completely different is to regain the life force that was exhausted due to the passage of time. Technically, if you can regain the second one, then you could live forever.
