313 Eclipse Magi I (2/2)
Zatiel did not lose focus and kept his full attention on the Animax Soul Rune. This rune contained the powerful Law of Rebirth as its core, and due to its potential being higher that of the Law of Time, giving a Rank 4 life form an immortal body was not a problem.
Of course, the Neo-Demon knew that having an immortal body is not the same as being immortal. The soul would grow tired with time if it doesn't grow stronger, and eventually, it would dissipate. Nevertheless, the lifespan of those with this rune would rise immensely.
The Neo-Demon kept pushing the rune forward, and he only stopped when he felt that there was no restriction on how much life force it could regain for a Rank 3 life form.
'There should be no problem with the life force of Rank 4 life forms, as for those at Rank 5 and above, I will need to do more experiments to know for sure.'
Tritus was completely bewildered by the events that had occurred in the last few minutes. Not only the wound on his soul he thought unfixable was healed, but his life force grew so fast and with such potency that his appearance reverted to the one he had when he was ten years old.
Unfortunately for the Magus, Zatiel did not give him a second to comprehend what was happening before controlling his soul once again through the rune.
The Magus felt his soul interact with the Law of Deception he had comprehended to the Potential level. Immediately the Universe Will became present, and Tritus' soul started the qualitative change needed to awaken.
The Magus' life force was burning with immense strength right now. His consciousness was in perfect condition after the tempering of the Animax Soul Rune. Unless an external force interfered, Tritus would reach Rank 4.
Nothing could escape Zatiel's sight, and he made sure to maintain surveillance around the Magus. The Neo-Demon felt how Tritus' Primordial Essence was consuming the soul force that was granted to him by The Eternal River of the Afterlife.
His power began to grow at an accelerated rate, but that wasn't all since purple flames invaded every single one of his cells, strengthening his body, not only granting immense vitality but also great destructive power.
The Magus that now had the appearance of a child kept his eyes closed as this happened. Finally, the Primordial Essence consumed the soul force and was solidified by the Universe Will.
In the soul dimension of Tritus, a blue humanoid that was the perfect copy of him appeared. The ten-year-old boy in front of Zatiel opened his eyes once the True Soul was formed, and a blast of purple flames was fired from him in every direction.
Totto, Zitra, Nero, and Tyrus move away from the blast area since they felt a dangerous power in those flames. Although they were inferior to the ones of Zatiel, they could harm them.
The Neo-Demon did not move from his location. The moment the purple flames touched him, they were devoured by his own, recharging the energy he spent creating the rune.
The group was surprised. Tritus' Law of Deception did not grant great offensive might, but they could perceive his current battle power was equal to that of a Rank 4 life form with a Peak Emperor Bloodline. He would have no problem in defeating a normal Angelic Paragon.
They all understood immediately from where this power came from, and they were shocked by the might a Soul Rune could grant. Not only it allowed you to regain your life force at will but also granted flames that could improve battle power the same amount as an Emperor Bloodline.
Tritus was lost in the feeling of power that filled every part of his existence. However, once he examined his True Soul, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
On the forehead of the True Soul, there was a tattoo in the form of an eclipse with eight wings. From this tattoo, runic lines emerged and covered every part of Tritus' True Soul.
The Magus felt that the tattoo was not only engraved in his True Soul but was the acting core of it. He could rip a piece of his True Soul and still survive if someone powerful enough helped him, but if something happened to the winged eclipse tattoo, his soul would be shattered beyond redemption.
Before Tritus could say a word, he saw Zatiel's Rebirth Eye glow. Instantly his body and soul froze, and the next moment a great pain assaulted him.
He looked down and saw how the Neo-Demon arm had punched his chest with so much strength that it pierced it, destroying his heart and part of his lungs.
