317 Rebirth Nightmare (1/2)

The Fourth Princess was confused by the reaction of the Magus. Normally, even the women that do not share her sexual taste would respond with some interest, but she felt nothing of the sort coming from Zitra.

Vania did not have time to wonder about the reason behind Zitra's behavior as an immense pain assaulted her mind out of nowhere, and her vision went dark.

The next second, a plane full of dark purple energy appeared in her sight. The most shocking thing was that she had no clue how she arrived here, and her memory was cloudy, stopping her from remembering anything of the past week.

'What is happening, where am I. I need to contact Father...' Vania did not finish that thought before the entire plane began to tremble, and the dark purple energy began to act chaotically and full of rage.

A giant black monster materialized in front of her. The Fourth Princess of the Scientia Kingdom felt an uncontrollable and immense terror filling her heart and mind. It reached the point where she could not even think right, and her body could not stop shivering.

The horrible head of the monster approached Vania. She saw how two red eyes that represented pure and absolute massacre focused on her.

A dreadful mouth materialized in that head, and the monster spoke with an ancient tone full of viciousness.

”I take you as a disciple to pay my debt, and I will train you properly. However, don't think even for a second that I won't punish you if you disrespect me.” After saying those words, the monster swallowed Vania's entire body.

”AHHHH!” Vania threw a scream full of fear when she saw that horrible mouth devouring her. She thought death was imminent, but the next second, the dark purple plane disappeared, and she found herself back on the upper floor of the Daybreak Magic Tower.

The face of the Fourth Princess was pale, and she slowly turned in Zatiel's direction. The expression on the Neo-Demon's face was cold and stern, and a trail of blood dripped from his right eye.

Gabriel frowned when he saw the condition of her sister. However, after seeing that her soul and body were unharmed, he decided not to intervene. He was very protective of his little sister, but since she had chosen to take an ancient monster as a teacher, she had to deal with the consequences.

”I am sorry, Teacher. It won't happen again!.” Vania was truly terrified of that dark purple plane and the monster that inhabited it. Her soul defenses were very sturdy due to the treasure her mother gave her, and yet, she was not able to put any resistance to the power of Zatiel's right eye.

What he used on the Fourth Princess was a unique spell he had named Rebirth Nightmare. He took the dream world the Sage used on him as an inspiration for this spell since even with his knowledge and expertise, he still was shocked by the power of that illusion.

The Sage used his special Mind Force to maintain his dream world. Zatiel did not have access to that power, so he used the purple plane in his Rebirth Eye to strengthen the spell.

'Due to the treasure in her soul dimension, her spirit defenses could equal that of a Rank 5 life form at the 3rd Engraving Stage. The Rebirth Nightmare defeated her, but the backlash I received was substantial.'

Soul invasion spells were powerful and efficient, but they also left the soul dimension in a weakened state for their duration, and if the opponent's soul defenses are too strong, the backlash could harm your True Soul severely.

Luckily for the Neo-Demon, his soul defenses were very sturdy thanks to his True Will, and the backlash was not too severe.

If Zatiel had used Rebirth Nightmare against Andras, he could have won the fight in a second, but this was one of the trump cards he had chosen to hide.

It was only after the pain ceased that Zatiel spoke to Vania.

”I will start your teaching right now. I can see that your law comprehension is advancing at a steady rate, and I can't provide much help in that aspect since we train different laws. Therefore, we will focus on your martial skills and techniques. Tell me what battle style you use.”

Vania nodded and took a deep breath before releasing an immense physical might. Her body's strength was equal to the one granted by the third level of the Blood Demodand Technique.

After unleashing her strength, she took a bastard sword from her space ring. The sword did not have beautiful runes or an impressive aesthetic form, but just the weight in it made it a devastating weapon.

”I am a Body-refinement Magus. My battle style focuses on using my body and sword to land devastating blows.”

Heinz's eyes narrowed the moment the bastard sword appeared. After perceiving Vania's aura with the sword, he realized that their paths were different, and his interest diminished.

The Cultivator took the sword as the center of his battle style and channeled all of his power in it. The Fourth Princess, on the other hand, only saw the sword as a weapon that allowed her to display the full power of her body.

Zatiel focused on the woman's battle stance, and he figured out the best way to help her.
