Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Chapter 313 - Eclipse Magi (I)

The rune that appeared in Zatiel's hand released a blinding purple and golden light. Nero and the others focused on it, but they could not comprehend anything. The runic lines that formed the rune created an endless labyrinth that could not be deciphered.

The people on the ground could not stare at the Animax Soul Rune for too long. They felt their eyes burning when they saw the rune as if this one was an imposing sun.

Zatiel was analyzing the Animax Soul Rune not only with his A.I. Chip but also with his consciousness. After a moment, the Neo-Demon nodded slightly and pointed at the Magus, who was looking at him with eyes full of amazement.

The Animax Soul Rune moved incredibly fast. Tritus was not able to do anything before this one disappeared inside his head.

Tritus could see how the rune appeared in his soul dimension, and the next second it invaded his soul. Immediately, he was assaulted with immense pain and lost control of his consciousness.

The Magus lost control over his body and was about to fall when Zatiel waved his hand and made an invisible force grab him.

Tritus was feeling immense pain as if his soul was being hammered under an unbearable fire. The agony was so great that he almost fell into madness, but soon he noticed that along with the pain, something else was happening with his soul.

His failure to advance to Rank 4 had left his soul full of wounds, broke pieces of his consciousness, contaminated his energy pool, and wrecked his life force.

Right now, Tritus felt as the Animax Soul Rune was releasing purple tendrils that were mending the wounds on his soul and regenerating his consciousness.

Unlike Neo-Demons who use their bodies and consciousness as reservoirs for energy, a Magi's energy pool was contained solely in the consciousness, so the Animax Soul Rune was able to refine it.

It wasn't long before the tendrils of the Animax Soul Rune completely fused with the Magus' soul. Tritus' soul, consciousness, and energy pool were undergoing a qualitative improvement. Soon they reached a level many times more powerful than their previous peak condition.

The lost ambition that once burned in Tritus' heart returned to him as he felt the wounds on his soul being fixed.

'I need to find a way to regain some of my life force. Then I will be able to, once again, strive to awaken my True Soul and this time truly reach Rank 4.' Tritus could not stop the excitement from showing in his face the moment the process was finished. Healing the damage that his soul had was impossible for him, but there were many ways to regain some life force at his disposal.

"The soul's healing and strengthening functions of the rune are meant for Rank 4 life forms, so it is not a wonder they could completely heal your soul so fast. Let's test its active attributes." Zatiel's voice drew the Magus back to reality, and before he could even ask a question, the Rebirth Eye began to spin, making the purple and golden rune in the center of his soul shine.

The Animax Soul Rune took control of Tritus' energy pool. The Magus could not do anything other than seeing how his energy was being poured into the rune.

Tritus was shocked by the power of the rune, but his sharp mind made him understand very fast his current situation. He was sure that Zatiel could destroy his soul with a single thought if he wanted, and there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Being under the absolute control of another was not a pleasant sensation. However, Tritus was able to accept it after thinking about the identity of the person he would be following. The Magus was sure Zatiel was someone special and that he would become a powerhouse.

He was aware of the severity of his previous condition and not even selling himself to a Soul Law Domain existence would help him, so his current situation was the best he could hope for.

The Animax Soul Rune acted incredibly fast. It consumed half of the Magus' energy pool in a second. The next moment, it inundated Tritus' body with purple flames.

The purple flames permeated his body. It consumed the death force present in it and restored the life force Tritus had lost.

In a matter of minutes, the Magus regained his strong and energetic body. Tritus could not stop smiling when he felt how his life force had returned to the point it reached before the accident. However, what happened next shocked him.

The Magus' life force continued to grow, and soon it reached a level so high that his body began to rejuvenate on its own.

The other Soul Forging existences that were seeing the Magus were also shocked.

One thing is to restore the life force lost due to an accident, and another completely different is to regain the life force that was exhausted due to the passage of time. Technically, if you can regain the second one, then you could live forever.

Zatiel did not lose focus and kept his full attention on the Animax Soul Rune. This rune contained the powerful Law of Rebirth as its core, and due to its potential being higher that of the Law of Time, giving a Rank 4 life form an immortal body was not a problem.

Of course, the Neo-Demon knew that having an immortal body is not the same as being immortal. The soul would grow tired with time if it doesn't grow stronger, and eventually, it would dissipate. Nevertheless, the lifespan of those with this rune would rise immensely.

The Neo-Demon kept pushing the rune forward, and he only stopped when he felt that there was no restriction on how much life force it could regain for a Rank 3 life form.

'There should be no problem with the life force of Rank 4 life forms, as for those at Rank 5 and above, I will need to do more experiments to know for sure.'

Tritus was completely bewildered by the events that had occurred in the last few minutes. Not only the wound on his soul he thought unfixable was healed, but his life force grew so fast and with such potency that his appearance reverted to the one he had when he was ten years old.

Unfortunately for the Magus, Zatiel did not give him a second to comprehend what was happening before controlling his soul once again through the rune.

The Magus felt his soul interact with the Law of Deception he had comprehended to the Potential level. Immediately the Universe Will became present, and Tritus' soul started the qualitative change needed to awaken.

The Magus' life force was burning with immense strength right now. His consciousness was in perfect condition after the tempering of the Animax Soul Rune. Unless an external force interfered, Tritus would reach Rank 4.

Nothing could escape Zatiel's sight, and he made sure to maintain surveillance around the Magus. The Neo-Demon felt how Tritus' Primordial Essence was consuming the soul force that was granted to him by The Eternal River of the Afterlife.

His power began to grow at an accelerated rate, but that wasn't all since purple flames invaded every single one of his cells, strengthening his body, not only granting immense vitality but also great destructive power.

The Magus that now had the appearance of a child kept his eyes closed as this happened. Finally, the Primordial Essence consumed the soul force and was solidified by the Universe Will.

In the soul dimension of Tritus, a blue humanoid that was the perfect copy of him appeared. The ten-year-old boy in front of Zatiel opened his eyes once the True Soul was formed, and a blast of purple flames was fired from him in every direction.

Totto, Zitra, Nero, and Tyrus move away from the blast area since they felt a dangerous power in those flames. Although they were inferior to the ones of Zatiel, they could harm them.

The Neo-Demon did not move from his location. The moment the purple flames touched him, they were devoured by his own, recharging the energy he spent creating the rune.

The group was surprised. Tritus' Law of Deception did not grant great offensive might, but they could perceive his current battle power was equal to that of a Rank 4 life form with a Peak Emperor Bloodline. He would have no problem in defeating a normal Angelic Paragon.

They all understood immediately from where this power came from, and they were shocked by the might a Soul Rune could grant. Not only it allowed you to regain your life force at will but also granted flames that could improve battle power the same amount as an Emperor Bloodline.

Tritus was lost in the feeling of power that filled every part of his existence. However, once he examined his True Soul, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

On the forehead of the True Soul, there was a tattoo in the form of an eclipse with eight wings. From this tattoo, runic lines emerged and covered every part of Tritus' True Soul.

The Magus felt that the tattoo was not only engraved in his True Soul but was the acting core of it. He could rip a piece of his True Soul and still survive if someone powerful enough helped him, but if something happened to the winged eclipse tattoo, his soul would be shattered beyond redemption.

Before Tritus could say a word, he saw Zatiel's Rebirth Eye glow. Instantly his body and soul froze, and the next moment a great pain assaulted him.

He looked down and saw how the Neo-Demon arm had punched his chest with so much strength that it pierced it, destroying his heart and part of his lungs.
