Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 148 - Ten Towers Formation

Zatiel did not think too much about the way the trio were looking at him. His actions may be impressive in their eyes, but in his mind, they were simple invasion tactics and they could not compare to the plans and schemes of his previous life.

Now that he had given them all the information about the forces currently occupying this world, and the battle that had happened between them, Zatiel raised to the next subject.

"How long until the three of you get rid of the restrictive pressure of the world?"

Heinz, Zitra, and Totto understood that before they were able to use their full power, the invasion could not continue. As just a single Soul Forging existence of the Heavenly race could stop the rest of the fighting force that came from the Magi World.

The trio closed their eyes and focused their consciousness on the invisible chains around their bodies and checked the power they currently had.

On individuals at Rank 4, the power they could display under the world restrictive pressure was around twenty percent, and the amount of time it takes to get rid of it varied depending on their powers.

Fifteen minutes later, Heinz opened his eyes and after making some calculations, he spoke.

"It will take two months for me to be able to use my full strength again," Heinz could feel the power of the shackles around him and their immense quantity.

"For me, it will be approximately a month and two weeks," Zitra spoke immediately after Heinz.

When Zatiel heard the two of them, he frowned. What they just gave him was the normal time that a Rank 4 life form will need to overcome the restrictive pressure of the world by increasing their proficiency on the natural energies to defeat it.

He knew that as Rank 4 individuals they had a faster way to do it, but it seems that the duo has no knowledge about it.

As he was thinking, Totto's voice broke his concentration.

"For me, it will only be a week."

The time he will need is almost a fourth of the time that will take to Zitra despite the shackles in the two being around the same.

Neither Heinz nor Zitra were surprised by his answer but Zatiel looked at the old man and his eyes narrowed.

Totto knew that he had raised the curiosity of Zatiel. If it was any other individual beneath Rank 4, he would not feel the need to explain himself, but now he spoke immediately.

"I have information about a method to increase my affinity with this world, but I got it as part of a deal and I made an oath, so I can't share it."

After hearing Totto's explanation, Zatiel noded. The types of oaths powerful enough to bound a Rank 4 life form are special and breaking them could cause severe consequences.

Zatiel started to think about how to handle this situation.

Actually, the method to improve their speed was not very difficult and he could explain it with ease, but he was hoping that all of them would already have it to save himself some trouble.

He had no problem sharing it with Heinz, but he had no relation with the woman. As for helping her due to her beauty, that was just being stupid in his mind.

In the end, though, he chose to share it with the three of them. Right now the Heavenly race is hurt and their attention is focused on the demonic horde, but that will not remain like that for a long time, so they need to act fast.

"I will tell you a way to speed up the process so pay attention. Instead of using the natural energies to increase your attunement with the world, you should focus on the laws."

Zatiel's words surprised the trio, especially Totto, as he had to pay a great price for the information that was coming from his mouth.

"All the laws are present in the universe, and the core of each one of them is constant, but the way they manifest themselves in some worlds change due to some particularities in the origins of these worlds. That is why in some worlds, the use of anything related to fire is greatly intensified while water is weakened.

"Use the laws that you had comprehended and focus on the small change that you feel between the laws of this world and the Magi World. By understanding that difference, your laws will become stronger and the restrictive pressure will be weakened quickly."

To Zatiel, this was rather basic information. But it was something the duo found incredibly useful.

Heinz did not wait and started to use the method Zatiel taught them. From inside him, monstrous killing intent was released, but just like on his body, there seem to be shackles around it.

The killing intent maintained itself for more than an hour and nothing changed since the beginning, but then something happened.

The nature of the killing intent seemed to be mutating, making itself more familiar with the world, and increasing its strength.

Although its power grew only a little, the speed at which it occurred was considerably faster than increasing the proficiency over the natural energies.

"Hahaha, great! With this not only will my laws become stronger, but it will also take me less than two weeks to be able to display my full power!" Heinz was laughing but then he stopped as he saw the rest was looking at him and frowning.

When he saw a way to become stronger, he used it immediately and made the other three wait for hours. Seeing their behavior he only coughed and proceeded to remain silent.

Zatiel simply shook his head and sighed as he saw the way Heinz behaved and proceeded to continue speaking.

"According to my calculations, the tower will have enough power for another four Soul Forging existences to enter the world in two weeks. The moment they do, we will begin with the expansion process and start the creation of the Ten Tower Formation."

Zatiel made a virtual map of the continent appear with ten dots marked in it, forming what looks like a pyramid, with the peak being where they are right now.

The Ten Tower Formation was something the trio knew very well. It was the standard formation that the people of the Magi World use in invasions.

Each tower will be connected with the other ones, siphoning the energy of the world to form a force field that will increase their strength and weaken the ones of their enemies, as well as allow teleportation between them.

If the ten towers are placed, then a group of ten Rank 4 could fight against a number of enemies ten times higher without a problem.

"Right now the continent is full of not only Heavenly race members but also demons. Most of them are weak but I cannot say for certain that there is not Rank 4 around them.

"The main Heavenly race force is focusing on the demons and has no knowledge about our location, so we will use that window of opportunity to install the three of the closest towers.

"We will send those at Rank 3 and below to capture any living being in those places and bring them here. Then when those areas are secured, we will start with the creations of the towers.

Each of you will be accompanying one of the teams, but unless it is absolutely necessary, do not act as your power is high enough to be detected by those at Rank 4 near us or someone who uses divination spells. Do you have any questions or suggestions?"

Zatiel's plan followed the basic strategy used to conquer worlds and by using the demons to distract the Heavenly race, the chances of completing the first step without casualties were very high.

Although it would have been even better if they could install all the towers immediately, the trio knew that it would be too easy for the Heavenly race to notice them and they were not powerful enough to defend nine towers at the same time.

Heinz, Zitra, and Totto, found no problem with the plan, but one of them had a question.

"I understand not killing the Heavenly race members as it could be noticed by their leader, but why not kill the demons and just bring their corpses?" Zitra spoke with patience in her eyes.

She had been part of a great number of battles and was not any less cold to their enemies than the other two Rank 4 present.

"I have a use for them, and they need to be alive."

After Zatiel spoke, he felt the three of them looking at him in a meaningful way. He understood what they wanted to express.

The prisoners should belong to the people that were able to capture them. They could not say anything about the members of the Daybreak clan since that was his force.

But if he uses his strength to rob the Magi of their possessions, he will not only be breaking an unspoken rule about spoils in world wars but also offending the Soul Forging existences behind them.

"Don't worry, I will buy all of them, and with what I am willing to pay, there is no one who will not sell them."
