Novel Full Chapter 267 - Demodand Constitution
The blood entered Heinz's body and was transformed into blood energy that drove the Blood Demodand Technique forward. The Cultivator had already completed the second level of the technique and was ready to progress to the next level.
Heinz had already grasped the third level. To enter it, he only needed to form his Demodand Constitution. The Heavenly race did not interfere with Totto, and it appeared they had given up the continent, so he was able to focus on increasing his power.
He had spent a long time hunting the most powerful Soul Forging Magic Creatures in the Ravaging Ocean. Every magic creature around him was at Peak Rank 4, and they only needed to increase their law comprehension to advance to Rank 5. Unfortunately for these gargantuan beings, despite being the kings of the ocean, they were unable to put up any resistance against Heinz, who had the Law of Killing at the 'Minor Completion' level.
While Heinz's body became stronger due to the enormous amount of blood energy that was formed inside him, a creature started to form behind him. It was so immense, that made the magic creatures whose bodies were thousands of meters large appear like babies in front of an adult man.
It was impossible to identify its true form at the moment since the Demodand Constitution was far from being solidified. However, it possessed draconic, insectoid, and demonic features.
The more blood energy Heinz generated, the greater the power in the Demodand Constitution became. As it grew more corporeal, powerful vibrations started to originate from it. The ocean became violent and full of storms, while the sky raged with thunder and lightning.
The days passed, and the countless tons of blood inside those gargantuan magic creatures were drained. Even the energy inside their flesh and bones was absorbed, and they looked no different than mummified corpses.
The Demodand Constitution was far from being completed, but Heinz did not worry about a shortage of blood energy. A red whirlwind had formed around the Cultivator, which released a monstrous gravitational force that extended for thousands of kilometers, and its range only increased the more blood it swallowed.
Millions of magic creatures live in the Ravaging Ocean, and all those who were in the area covered by the gravitational force produced by Heinz's red whirlwind had their blood forcefully extracted. Those at Rank 4 were also affected but were powerful enough to escape, although not before losing a great amount of blood.
If Heinz were to use this technique in the Magi World, powerhouses from different organizations would force him to stop, but he was in a Beta Heavenly World, and no one could stop him if he wanted to do something.
The Blood Demodand Technique was incredibly powerful. Once the user formed the Demodand Constitution, he would have a body capable of fighting Rank 5 life forms.
Just like there are many different types of demodands, there are many Demodand Constitutions that can be formed. There are constitutions that have special abilities that could solve a weakness in the user battle style. Some allow the user to blend with the void and use a minor form of Void Disruption, others increase one's offense might with lightning or fire, and there are a few that proportionate great regeneration abilities.
Heinz had the Law of Space for speed and survival, the Law of Blood and Juntu's help to heal his body, the Law of Sword, and the Law of Killing to display an overwhelming offensive might. Instead of creating a Demodand Constitution that would grant him a skill weaker than the one given by his laws, the one he had chosen focused solely on enhancing his strength and speed.
Although physical power did not seem very impressive compared with the might of the laws, some beings could survive the explosion of a world purely depending on their bodies.
.....
Inside the Silent House, Finibus, Pipit, another man, and a woman were discussing among themselves. The new members of Zatiel's torture squad were Tina and Samuel. They were both Angels of Supremacy skilled in inflicting pain.
Finibus had requested their help, and they arrived full of confidence. The duo was sure they would be able to make Zatiel speak, but the only thing they got was laughs. Things only got worse as time passed, and the duo felt the chill in Oliver's eyes whenever they reported their lack of success.
As the pressure on the four members of the Heavenly race became greater, Zatiel's started to speak his thoughts out loud as they tortured him. He started with small things, like questioning the coldness Oliver showed to them, despite being members of the same race.
Zatiel also commented on how weird it was for Oliver and Tomas to display such an apathetic attitude to the fallen members. The Neo-Demon even relayed some stories that gave hints to the situation of the dukes.
It was not easy to sow doubt in their hearts, and Zatiel knew they would never betray their comrades, no matter how much wealth he offered them or how great the pressure became. But what if they think they are helping their people and that their leaders have fallen under the hand of the enemy?.
Under Zatiel's subconscious manipulation, the four started to pay more attention to Oliver and Tomas. Some of them had known the dukes for hundreds of years, so they were able to notice the changes.
"Finibus, what do you think we should do?" Pipit asked the Angelic Paragon. His face was full of doubt and uncertainty.
Tina and Samuel also focused on him. Not only was he the most powerful of all, but his bloodline was of a higher order. Of the four, he was the only one who could speak to the other Angelic Paragons in the Beta Heavenly World on equal grounds.
"We have to be careful. It is clear that this man is trying to sow discord among us, but we cannot ignore the things we have seen. The danger that Lord Oliver and Lord Tomas represent is immense, so we can't stand idly by if they have fallen into the enemy's control." Finibus was not stupid, and he understood the Neo-Demon's plan. But despite his cruelty to other races, he truly cared about the fate of his kind and was willing to give his life to protect them.
Zatiel could not hear what they were saying since they spoke using their consciousness and in a secretive manner, but even if he knew they were aware of his machination, he would not care. What he had told was the truth, and Finibus and the others knew it, so it doesn't matter where they got the information.
"I will speak with the generals to see if they have noticed something and learn their attitudes toward the dukes. I will be discreet and cautious since it would be easy for Lord Oliver and Lord Tomas to declare us as Fallen if we are found talking behind their backs. They may say we have been corrupted by this man." Finibus' face was solemn and understood very well the danger of his mission.
All of a sudden, Finibus, Pipit, Tina, and Samuel stopped speaking, and they turned to Zatiel. They used their most devious spells on the Neo-Demon and tore his body.
Zatiel did not say anything when he saw the abrupt change in behavior of the four members of the Heavenly race. He knew what was going on and only displayed a funny smile. The Neo-Demon found their performance hilarious.
A couple of seconds after they started torturing Zatiel, the gates of the Silent House opened, and both dukes entered. Once they appeared, Finibus, Pipit, Tina, and Samuel stopped their spells and bowed to Tomas and Oliver.
Tomas' wings had healed, and his body appeared to be in top condition. Unfortunately, the wounds on his True Soul would take a lot more time to heal.
The dagger wound on Oliver's chest had disappeared, and the power of the Angelic Paragon appeared to have increased in the last year.
Oliver noticed the behavior of the four people and when he saw Zatiel winking at him, he knew they had obtained nothing.
"Useless fools!. What is the point of having people like you who cannot even handle such a simple task?" Oliver's eyes were cold, and there was a flash of killing intent in them.
Tomas' attitude was aloof. It appeared he did not care about the cruelty Oliver showed to the members of his own kind.
