Chapter 316: Teacher
The wave of spacetime force had the severing power of Void Slash and the decomposing power of time. Rank 4 life forms would have a hard time protecting themselves from this power. Luckily it occurred hundreds of kilometers above the City of the Sun, so no one ended up hurt.
The man waved his hand the moment he appeared, and the streams of spacetime force around him calmed down instantly. His comprehension of the laws was so high that he could subdue them with a single move of his hand.
The shock wave was the result of the man applying his full power without any form of restriction. He managed to travel a great distance with a single step, but the power he carried was bound to cause mayhem in his arrival spot.
Ezequiel, Zitra, and Totto recognized the man immediately. He was the Second Prince of the Scientia Kingdom, Gabriel Rebellion.
The young woman by his side, on the other hand, was a complete mystery. She had black hair, yellow eyes, a beautiful face, and was wearing a martial robe. Her body was well developed, but the most impressive feature was the immense physical might that could be felt from her.
Despite her True Soul being at the Fourth Origin Cycle, her physical strength was equal to someone at the 1st Engraving Stage.
Zatiel was a little surprised when he saw this woman. It was not her beauty that called his attention, but the fact that his Rebirth Eye allowed him to see that her heart, lungs, spleen, kidneys, and liver contained each a unique treasure.
‘They are so well hidden that not even my Eye of Life and Creation could discover their energy, and even my Rebirth Eye can only detect their power but not their nature. Although I can’t say for sure, some of those treasures seem to reach the Pseudo Rank 7. They are slowly fusing with her, enhancing the talent of her body. She should have no problem reaching Peak Rank 6.’ Zatiel was indeed impressed that a Rank 4 life form had those types of treasures inside her, but he was not tempted to take them. It was clear that they were given to her by a powerful person, and he did not need them.
Gabriel took a step forward with the woman and appeared in front of Zatiel. The duo adopted a respectful posture and bowed to the Neo-Demon.
“Second Prince of the Scientia Kingdom, Gabriel Rebellion, greets Master Demonologist Zatiel Daybreak.”
“Fourth Princess of the Scientia Kingdom, Vania Rebellion, greets Master Demonologist Zatiel Daybreak.”
By the way they behaved, Zatiel had an idea of their intentions. The Neo-Demon nodded to them before speaking.
“I guess you bring an important message from your father.”
The Second Prince only smiled and nodded. Gabriel came with the mentality he was speaking with an old monster who had lived for millions of years.
Zatiel stared at the duo for a moment before focusing on his people. They were all looking at him with amazement in their eyes.
“Why are you looking at me so much?. Go back to your training and studies. No one likes lazy people.”
The members of the Daybreak Clan were taken by surprise by their leader’s relaxed mood. They all ran to their work, and some even flew with a frantic expression on their faces.
A smile appeared on the Neo-Demon, and he could not help but laugh at the erratic but safe atmosphere in the City of the Sun.
“Let’s talk in the tower.”
…..
On the upper floor of the Daybreak Magic Tower, Zatiel was sitting on the throne, and standing a few meters away from him were the Royals from the Scientia Kingdom.
Ezequiel and the rest were staring from the sidelines and waiting.
Zatiel had chosen to deal with the duo first, as matters with the rest would take a long time.
Zatiel told Gabriel to start. The Second Prince adopted a respectful posture and spoke with a calm and dignified tone.
“I came here by order of my Royal Father. Due to your unique identity, you will need to take a test inside the Scientia Kingdom. This test was put in place by the Forefather and creator of the Scientia Kingdom.”
The Neo-Demon’s eyes narrowed when he heard that. It was clear to him that the term unique identity referred to the fact this was not his first life.
‘The founder of the oldest organization in the Magi World is not someone I can mess around with. He must be one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful Being of Law born in this Principal World of the universe. He is, at the bare minimum, someone with his own Omega Law.’
“What if I refuse to take the test?.”
Ezequiel and the others focused on Gabriel when Zatiel spoke those words. However, contrary to what they expected, the Second Prince kept his respectful posture and spoke with a calm voice.
“If you refuse to take the test, then you must leave the Magi World. If you agree to leave within one hundred years, we will give you the coordinates of a Middle World that have already been pacified. The Scientia Kingdom will also protect you and your people until you all leave this world.”
The words of the Second Prince surprised everyone in the room. The Scientia Kingdom was the strongest and oldest power in the Magi World, and they could destroy any organization. Nonetheless, their methods were always so peaceful and well thought.
Zatiel sighed, and a small smile appeared on his face.
“You people really know how to stop enemies from being born. However, I am sure that behind that peaceful side, there is a monster that would erase any trace of anyone they consider a threat.”
Gabriel remained quiet, but he knew very well the truth in Zatiel’s words. The Scientia Kingdom always does its best not to create enemies, but the moment one of them appears, they attack with crushing might, one so great that Beings of Laws can fall in front of it.
“Well, I actually like your way of doing things. Ok, if the test takes place inside the Magi World, I will take it. Just tell me the date, and I will go to the Scientia Kingdom as soon as I can.”
A wide smile appeared on Gabriel when he heard the words of the Neo-Demon. He knew how important Zatiel’s help was for his father.
However, the biggest reaction to Zatiel’s words did not come from him. The Fourth Princess practically jumped from happiness and her eyes filled with light as she approached the Neo-Demon.
Gabriel sighed when he saw the behavior of her sister. He had to put his hand over her shoulder to restrain her.
“I guess your sister came for another reason.” Zatiel did not like the way the woman was looking at him. It was like a kid who found a good toy and could not help to play with it.
“I came for a simple reason. I want you to become my teacher!.”
Zatiel was surprised by the request of the woman. Before he could respond, Vania spoke again.
“I know people like you don’t take students because there is no gain in doing so, but you can consider my request as repaying the favor my brother made you.”
The Neo-Demon was surprised by the words of the woman. When he stared at the Second Prince, he saw how this one sighed and nodded to him, signaling she had his approval to collect that favor.
Zatiel indeed intended to turn down the request of the woman. There was no gain in helping her, and there was nothing she could offer to him. However, the moment she mentioned the favor the Neo-Demon owned to Gabriel, things became more complicated.
“Ahhh, the help your brother provided me back then was of great assistance to defeat a powerful foe. I can take you as a disciple, but I warn you, that is the farthest our relationship will reach.” Zatiel was aware that his power and abilities would draw people to him. Many would want to form a romantic relationship with him, but the Neo-Demon did not desire to form new ones.
His emotions were more susceptible at the beginning of his path when his soul was still weaker, but now trying to stir his heart was almost impossible.
Instead of disappointment, what appeared on Vania’s face when she heard those words was distaste.
“Even if you were not an old man who had lived millions of years, you still wouldn’t be my type. The only one in here that remotely interests me is…” Vania looked around the room. Her sight landed on the area where Ezequiel was standing.
However, soon it was obvious she was not looking at the white-haired genius, but the one that was by his side, Zitra.
The Fourth Princess threw a coquettish smile to the Magus and winked.
Everyone was stunned by the behavior of the woman. Now they understood what she meant by Zatiel not being her type.
The Neo-Demon was truly surprised by this turn of events, and the next moment he began to laugh.
“Hahahaha, I guess I was overestimating my charm. Vania Rebellion, you are now the disciple of Zatiel Daybreak.”
