315 A wave of spacetime force (2/2)
”I was in the capital of the empire when the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom arrived. I left a piece of my consciousness in the Sinux Magic Tower to alert me of any intrusion that could happen. However, after I detected Andras, someone destroyed it, so I was blind to the events happening after that.” The killing intent in Heinz's eyes grew when he thought that someone in his magic tower dared to attack him.
”The teleportation formations in the capital were disabled, and I was not able to use them. Using my full power, I should have arrived in less than an hour, but I was ambushed on my way back. They were ten Rank 4 life forms and a Law Engraving existence. The Rank 5 Magus was not a threat, but they used a Runic Formation, allowing them to fuse their energy pools and increase their defenses. They only left after I killed more than half of the Soul Forging existences.”
Totto and Zitra looked at each other when they heard the tale of the Cultivator. It was clear that the one targeting the Daybreak Clan was the one behind Heinz's ambush. That person could order Rank 5 life form and had Origin Runic Formations at his disposal.
Zatiel's expression was calm. The Neo-Demon wasn't intimidated by the abilities of his enemy.
”Some of the blood in the sword belongs to the Rank 5 Magus?” Zatiel focused on the blood with his Rebirth Eye.
”Yes, brother. They all hid their identity during the battle, and the dead dissolved into dust. I thought we could use it to learn something about them, but a force is acting on the blood. I am using the Law of Blood to stop it from transforming into dust, but I don't know how long I can last”
Totto and the rest could not help but sigh when they heard that. It would be impossible to use the blood to identify the attackers with Heinz's Law of Blood acting over it and the self-destructive power it carried.
Zatiel focused on the sword, and the Rebirth Eye glowed. The blood was grabbed by an invisible force and pulled into the Neo-Demon's right eye.
Heinz frowned when he saw the blood disappear inside the Rebirth Eye. Other than the Law of Killing, the strongest law Heinz had was the Law of Blood. It was even more powerful than his Law of Sword. Nonetheless, the power in the blood of his enemies was too strong.
He could felt that Zatiel's right eye was special, but he wasn't sure if it would be enough. He used his connection with the blood to check his state, but the moment he did, the world around him disappeared.
The Cultivator found himself in a plane full of purple energy where the Law of Life and the Law of Death were in a state of absolute harmony. He felt incredibly relaxed and did not notice how purple energy was appearing in the eyes of his True Soul.
The seed made of the Law of Killing in his soul dimension detected the danger. It released a wave of red energy that awoke the True Soul and purged the purple energy.
Heinz coughed blood, and the purple plane disappeared from his sight. His action surprised Totto and the others, but Zatiel just shook his head as a drop of blood fell from his eye.
From the Cultivator's shoulder, a ten-centimeter man emerged. He had red hair, a long beard, and his skin appeared to be made of rubies. This was the Blood Ruby Centipede, Juntu, in his humanoid form.
”Are you ok, boy?” Juntu was worried when he felt the power assaulting Heinz's True Soul. Whatever that force was, it was able to bypass the magic creature's spirit defenses.
”I am fine now, don't worry.” Heinz took a moment to regulate his breathing, and when he saw that right eye again, there was a solemn expression on his face.
”You have to be more careful. My right eye is too powerful, and I don't have complete control over it.” Zatiel could use the Rebirth Eye in battle, and his body and soul were powerful enough to handle the pressure of its power, but he still had a lot to learn about its full potential.
”I am sorry. The good news is that we can now learn the identity of those rats hiding in the darkness.” Heinz was sure that the blood would succumb to the power in that eye in no time.
”It doesn't matter...” Zatiel did not finish speaking before looking to the sky, and a peculiar light expression appeared on his face. ”It seems that the last two have arrived.”
Hundred of kilometers above Zatiel and the City of the Sun, space broke apart, and a shock wave of spacetime force was released. The next moment a young man and woman came off from the crack.
