314 Eclipse Magi II (1/2)
None of them would have cared if he killed Tritus, but they did not understand why he did it after granting him such a powerful Soul Rune.
Tritus could only move his eyes, and he still did not understand what was happening. Just a second ago, he was dreaming about a great future, and now his heart was destroyed along with a substantial part of his lungs.
Although now that he was a Soul Forging existence, this wound was not lethal to him, his True Soul was under the complete control of Zatiel, and there was no reason for him to destroy his body and let his soul run away.
The Magus could feel the pain of having his heart pulverized, but things were not over yet since the next moment, the Neo-Demon slapped the top of his head with such force that it crushed it.
Ezequiel, Nero, Totto, Zitra, and Tyrus frowned after seeing what had just happened. All of them were used to violence, and such a bloody scene could not disturb them. The reason for their expression was the vitality in the Magus' body.
Now that Tritus' heart and brain were destroyed, the vitality of his body should plummet immediately. However, all of them could feel the powerful life in his flesh and how the rest of his organs were still working.
Zatiel showed no emotion as he removed his arm from the Magus' chest. His Rebirth Eye glowed for a moment, and the seal in Tritus' True Soul was broken.
The moment that happened, Tritus' body that had a huge hole in his chest and the upper half of his head destroyed, jumped back more than three hundred meters and adopted a defensive position.
The actions of the Magus shocked all the members of the Daybreak Clan in the ground. Being able to act with your heart and head destroyed was unimaginable for any of them.
Ezequiel and the rest have more experience and know that powerful life forms can indeed achieve such a feat. However, those people have transformed their bodies with the laws or a top tier Path Technique, and the Magus filled none of those criteria.
Their shock was far from over. A second after Tritus moved away from Zatiel, his heart and the part of his head that were destroyed filled with purple flames, and the organs and flesh grew back in an instant.
Tritus' pale face had an expression of utter shock, and he could not believe what was happening. The moment Zatiel's seal was lifted, even though his brain and heart were destroyed, he could still move his body, and the winged eclipse in his True Soul devoured part of his energy to regenerate those vital organs with an impressive speed.
The Magus' eyes narrowed when he heard Zatiel's words. The Neo-Demon made clear that he was not sure his body could truly survive those attacks, and he had used him as a guinea pig to test the Soul Rune.
Even though he was angry, the Soul Rune was already a part of him that he could not get rid of. He had two choices, either death or servitude.
'The way this man acts, the total disregard for the lives of anyone who is not part of his clan, the combination of savageness and pragmatic nature. He is a true monster!' After a moment and releasing a sigh, Tritus approached Zatiel and kneeled in the air.
”This servant humbly greets the Eclipse Lord.” Tritus did not say anything more. Swearing fidelity or things alike were useless since he did not really have a choice unless he wanted to die.
Zatiel's Rebirth Eye glowed, and not only was he able to perceive the emotions the Magus was feeling but also read his mind and hear his thoughts.
'He doesn't love me or would die for me without hesitation like the members of my clan would, but he understands his place and knows that his life is mine. I guess that is enough.' Zatiel nodded and was satisfied with the Magus' reasoning.
Tritus felt a scanning force reaching his body and soul dimension. He could not figure out its nature but knew that it came from Zatiel, so he did not resist.
”Bip... Scanning of target successful.
