The moment Zatiel heard Dante's message, his aura became extremely cold and full of killing intent.
He knew that Dante would not contact him unless the City of the Sun were in danger. The Magi World was still the place where most of the Neo-Demon race and Daybreak Clan resided.
The Neo-Demon did not wait to hear anything else and teleported to the World Gate before traveling to the Magi World.
Zatiel appeared in the sky above the Daybreak Magic Tower and felt how countless shockwaves were descending from above, making not only the City of the Sun but the entire continent tremble.
The Sunlight Core and Sunshine Cores were ready to unleash their full might. Their power was forming an invisible force field around the city.
The Daybreak Clan's members also gazed at the sky, but although they were confused, there was no one injured.
After seeing that everybody was fine, Zatiel calmed down and focused on the shockwaves' origin.
His Rebirth Eye covered hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and he saw two mighty groups. The power of each of them would have been more than enough to kill all the Demon Lords that entered the Blood Fortress.
One party consisted of humans who follow the Magi Path of Power, and the other was full of Eye Holders. Each group had dozens of Rank 5 life forms and hundreds of Rank 4.
Leading the Magi's side was a man with black hair, a crown over his head, and a royal robe.? His aura was extremely dense, and the physical pressure his body released affected space.
The leader of the Eye Holders was a young girl with red hair. Her body was small, but the bloodline power in it was outstanding, not to mention that her energy pool's radiation made it impossible for life forms beneath Rank 4 to get near her.
Both parties were more than powerful enough to destroy a continent, and they were less than five hundred meters apart, but they were not the origin of the force that made the City of the Sun shake.
The shockwaves' origin came from the other side of the Magi World's Crystal Wall!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Magi and Eye Holders were all concentrated on the battle occurring in the void.
Zatiel immediately understood why Dante said there was danger. Both parties were technically occupying the sky above the Endless Forest, but their power would affect the City of the Sun if they began to fight.
'Dante, move our people to the underground bunker and be ready to teleport everybody to the Beta Heavenly World.'
'Immediately, Father.'
The Sun Tadpole glowed as a stream of information appeared in the Daybreak Clan's members' minds.
The Sunlight Champions and the Neo-Demons received instructions, and they followed them without hesitation.
The number of people in the City of the Sun reached hundreds of thousands. Still, they mobilized with incredible speed and efficiency. The strongest ones grabbed the children and elders with whips made of energy,? and everybody else moved in an orderly manner. In less than thirty minutes, the City of the Sun was empty.
After ensuring his people's safety, Zatiel broke space and traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers upward.
He emerged far from both groups, but it was easy for him to reach them in a matter of minutes.
Everybody felt Zatiel's presence, but many Rank 4 life forms were coming from every direction, so no one focused on him since his Soul Origin was similar.
The Neo-Demon recognized some people on the Magi's side, but he did not have a relationship with them, at least not a good one. After a moment, he noticed someone he had not seen in a long time and flew in his direction.
The path of the Neo-Demon surprised many Rank 4 life forms that were near him because he headed to the Eye Holder's side.
Zatiel's target noticed him. He was a young man with black hair, grey bloodline eyes, and an impressive aura. His soul force put him at Rank 4, but he was near the Law Engraving existences.
The young man smiled and flew to meet the Neo-Demon. When the Eye Holders beside him saw this, they frowned, but they did not dare to stop him.
The young Eye Holder and the Neo-Demon gathered in the empty area between both parties, and they smiled before shaking hands.
Despite the friendly atmosphere between the duo, a contest started when they touched each other.
Zatiel and Gwyn's soul force and energy pool clashed silently, and both were using their full strength to tighten their grip.
The Ancestor of the Neo-Demon race was surprised when he felt the Eye Holder's soul force purity, large energy pool, and exceptional physical strength.
The next second, Zatiel's Rebirth Eye and Gwyn's bloodline eyes glowed. The Eye Holder was on the losing side and felt a headache but could resist the Neo-Demon's unique Mind Force.
"Not bad little boy. You have surpassed my expectations." Zatiel spoke honesty, and there was a sense of approval in his tone. Even though he won in every aspect of battle power, he had to use his real strength.
The handshake lasted ten seconds. Any other Rank 4 life form would have been bleeding from his eyes and in a coma after that clash, but Gwyn was fine.
"Thanks for the compliment, old man." Gwyn Xinter spoke with a carefree tone. His knowledge had significantly grown since the last time they saw each other, and he was certain Zatiel was someone who had reincarnated.
The Neo-Demon did not care about being referred to as an old man. After all, his soul, the core of his existence, was millions of years old.
"I heard that you handle some problems coming from the dynasty while I was away."
Gwyn had made sure to record his involvement in dissuading the Eye Holder army that headed to attack the City of the Sun a few years ago and sent it to Dante. His goal was to repay his debt with Zatiel, so there was no point in hiding his actions.
The Eye Holder limited himself to smile and nodded.
"Good, if you can tell me what is happening between these Eye Dynasty and the Aeternum Empire, we can call your debt paid." Zatiel had just finished speaking when someone yelled at him.
"You Rank 4 brat, come here right now!" The person who yelled to Zatiel was a man with skin made of rock. He was a Rank 5 Magus, and there were several Rank 4 life forms around him, all with their heads looking down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZatiel's speaking with Gwyn bothered him. They were on opposing factions, and besides, Rank 4 life forms were too weak to see past the Crystal Wall. They were here just as subordinates and nothing more.
The other Rank 5 Magi around the man looked at each other when they heard his scream. They were not happy with Zatiel's behavior, but they were aware of his identity, so none of them sought to offend him.
The Neo-Demon did not even look at the Magus and kept speaking with Gwyn.
When the Rank 5 Magus with earth skin saw how a Soul Forging existence ignored him, fury appeared in his eyes. He was about to act when one of his subordinates sent him a message.
"Lord Craekor, that man is Zatiel Daybreak. He is an Origin Runemaster."
The Magus was surprised when he heard that. He had been away from the Magi World for hundreds of years and returned less than a month ago, so there was a lot he did not know.
Although Zatiel's identity as an Origin Runemaster changed things, it was not enough to deter him, but his subordinates' following words did the trick.
"He also fought against Andras Dragonstone, the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom, a few years ago and won."
Craekor's eyes widened when he heard that. He stared at his subordinate with skepticism, but he knew that the Rank 4 Magus would not dare to lie to him.
He gazed at the other Rank 5 Magi and understood why none of them had spoken before.
"Brother Craekor should not worry. What that man defeated was just a clone incapable of using a Law Avatar."
The Rank 5 Magus turned around and saw the origin of the voice. It was a young man with blonde hair, green eyes, and a blue runic set covering his body.
Neither Gwyn nor Zatiel cared about the gazed from those around them. The Eye Holder accepted the Neo-Demon's offer after a few seconds of consideration.
The information Zatiel wanted was not easy to obtain, but it was not that valuable.
"You are aware of the tension between the Aeternum Empire and Eye Dynasty that had been escalating over the past few decades. Two Rank 7 life forms from these organizations are in a battle right now in the void. Depending on the outcome, a war could start at any moment inside the Magi World."
