314 Eclipse Magi II (2/2)

Energy Pool: 0.7

Soul Origin: 1.0”

'Not bad, the Animax Soul Rune was able to make the power of his True Soul and physique equal to the ones of a newborn Archangel. Of course, they are still not a match for them since they had the power of their Law Bloodline, but it is still impressive.'

”Your True Soul will constantly be tempered by the Soul Rune, making your power and perception of the laws top tier, in essence, granting the same talent that a Peak Emperor Bloodline but without any of the limitations or restrictions. Once you reach Rank 5, the help that the rune will grant to your talent and battle power will diminish, so you will have to bring me the True Soul of a Law Engraving existence to improve it. The same will happen when you reach Rank 6.” Zatiel spoke with an indifferent tone as if the feat he described was small.

Tritus' reaction was completely different. He couldn't help but tremble when Zatiel mentioned Rank 6. That was the greatest goal in his mind, and right now, there was a path he could follow to the powerhouse level.

Zatiel did not care about the thoughts that passed from the Magus' mind, and he proceeded to speak with a voice full of might.

”You have the Undying Eclipse Knighthood Mark in your True Soul, and that makes you an Undying Eclipse Knight. From this day on, your life's purpose is to serve and protect the Daybreak Clan. Fulfill the reason for your existence, and you will have power and never experience true death. Since you are a Magus, I give you the title of The First Undying Eclipse Magi. Rise, Undying Eclipse Magus, Tritus Fonder.”

Those words may sound too arrogant coming from a Rank 4 life form, but those who heard them felt as if a divine decree was being passed down.

A serious and determined expression appeared on Tritus' face. He may have yielded his freedom, but in a universe where only strength matters, following a monster that guarantees you great power and eternal life is something many would be willing to do.

”I will give you two tasks. First, you will return to the Aeternum Empire and take control of the Empire Commercial Association. You will use your position as Head to organize a Soul Rune Convention. The convention will take place in fifty years, and only one hundred people are allowed to attend. In that convention, I will not only sell Rank 4 Soul Runes, but I will also present a Rank 5 Soul Rune.”

Tritus' eyes widened when he heard that. He was confident in his ability to take control of the Empire Commercial Association, especially now that he had his new powers and backing. What surprised him was Zatiel asserting he would become a Rank 5 Soul Runemaster in fifty years.

A Rank 5 Soul Rune was something even Soul Law Domain existences would fight to obtain.

”My Lord, what are the criteria to fill the one hundred slots.” The Undying Eclipse Magus looked at the Neo-Demon with respect, but he did not hide the greed and cunning light in his eyes when he made the question.

Zatiel knew the reason for his feelings. The people that will want to attend the Soul Rune Convention will definitely be more than one hundred. For a cunning person, each slot is equal to a great amount of money or a favor.

”As long as they are powerful and have a high status in the empire, I don't care who comes to the convention.”

A smile appeared on Tritus' face when he heard that. Zatiel was giving him the profits that could be obtained from the slots.

”Your second task is to find more people like you that have a special quality and are willing to accept the Undying Eclipse Knighthood Mark.”

Tritus nodded when he heard that command, and no emotion appeared on his face, but the Neo-Demon's eyes narrowed when he detected the thought in his mind.

”Do not let your desire to be the best the Undying Eclipse Knight cloud your judgment. Fulfill your tasks well, and you will gain a reward. Fail, and the punishment will be severe and fast. Remember, I will always know your thoughts and feelings.”

The Undying Eclipse Magus trembled when he heard that and felt a purple eye appearing in his soul dimension and throwing his True Soul into a plane where life and death were one and the same.

”I will use all my power to fulfill the tasks Lord has given me!” Fear appeared on Tritus' face, and he made sure to engrave in his mind the last words from Zatiel.

”Go. Don't worry about keeping me posted. I know everything that occurs around you.”

Tritus gave a respectful bow to Zatiel before transforming his body into purple flames and fly away with an impressive speed.
