Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

After landing that blow and using the red sun to destroy Kolo's dragon body, Ezequiel started to shake as a great amount of blood was ejected from his eyes, mouth, and ears.

The next moment, the light vanished from the eyes of the Supreme Neo-Demon as he slipped into unconsciousness, making his body return to his titanic size and fell from the sky.

Pushing his body beyond its limits and performing an attack with such a massive energy output had put his three centers of power under unbelievable stress. The moment his enemy was no longer present, Ezequiel unconsciously relaxed for a second, allowing the backlash from that attack to affect him.

Despite falling from the sky with blood leaking from every orifice on his face, a glorious smile was present in the Supreme Neo-Demon, and all the members of the Daybreak Clan who were seeing him felt an uncontrollable battle intent fill their hearts. 

The people in the City of the Sun weren't able to hear most of Ezequiel's speech, but there was one word that reached them, and that would be engraved in their minds until the day their souls vanished.

Invictus.

It is on this day, in a small clan of the Aeternum Empire of the Magi World, that the name that will one day become taboo in a myriad of worlds and that could incite fear even in the most fiendish of races was born. 

While the people of the Daybreak Clan saw Ezequiel with eyes full of respect and admiration, one person was looking at him with poisonous envy and immense killing intent.

'Why!. Why does this insignificant brat that came from nowhere possess such a monstrous talent when someone like me, who is the Prince of a great kingdom that contains hundreds of millions of subjects, has to rot away in Rank 4?.' Sirius knew that attacking would doom him, but that fear did not stop a vicious murdering desire from appearing in his heart.

The thought of killing such a monstrous genius was too exciting for him. He even began to consider whether or not it was worth sacrificing what little was left from his life for the chance of taking away such a great genius from the universe.

However, before the Magus could decide what to do, a giant bone hand materialized beneath Ezequiel and carefully supported his body. From the hand, pulses of energy were being released that absorbed the vitality in the sunlight that filled the CIty of the Sun and redirected it to the unconscious Neo-Demon.

Four people surrounded the bone hand. Their eyes were cold as they focused on the man who dared to show killing intent to one of the two most important individuals of the Daybreak Clan. 

One of them was a woman with black hair and green eyes surrounded by particles that were in a constant state of change between light and shadows. Another was a young man with yellow eyes and seven wings full of black feathers. There was also a middle-aged man with a brutish appearance and from whom a powerful Sunlight Aura was being released.

The last one was a mummified man with eyes full of blue flames. He carried an aura of despair and hopelessness so powerful and dense that manifested itself as a black robe full of screaming faces. 

Totto took a couple of steps forward and did not attempt to hide the killing intent in his eyes.

"Did you dare to think of attacking him, you decrepit lizard?"

Sirius trembled when he heard those words and saw the arrival of these four Soul Forging existence. He clearly felt that the difference in power was so great that each of them could kill him easily.

The Magus' face grew pale, and fear appeared in his eyes as he felt that death was just moments away. 

Disdain appeared in the eyes of Totto and the rest when they saw the cowardly behavior of Sirius, and just as they were about to restrain him, a voice was heard.

"Enough."

The voice was calm, and there wasn't any ferocity in it. However, the moment it appeared, the storm that Ezequiel had created vanished, and the entire City of the Sun was covered by a golden membrane due to the Daybreak Magic Tower detecting a powerful entity. 

The energy in the Sunshine Cores was redirected to the Sunlight Core, and this one was ready to explode into a blast of energy that could decimate stars. 

The moment Totto, Zitra, Nero, and the brutish man detected that powerful presence, they completely forgot about Sirius and focused on the man that appeared in the sky, just outside the Daybreak Magic Tower's range of attack. 

The man in the sky appeared to be in his early twenties, with black metallic hair, red eyes, and scales that covered certain parts of his body and released ash. He was very similar in appearance to Sirius, but that was where their similarities ended.

His youthful looks were not due to a spell but due to him possessing a thriving life force that burned with unrestrained power. Even if he had been alive for a long time, it was clear that he had used less than ten percent of his lifespan.

This man released an aura full of ancient draconic savageness, and from every part of his body, an immense physical strength could be felt.

Dragons may not be the most physically powerful race in the universe, but no one would dare to say that their bodies were weak. This man was a Magus, so that meant he could use all kinds of techniques to take advantage of his natural gift and push it to the next level. 

Three different forces were rotating around this man, and each of them displayed immense strength. One of them was red, another was black, and the last one was green. 

When Sirius saw this man, a smile appeared on his face, and courage returned to his heart. 

"Father!"

The man in the sky who appeared to be able to split continents with his hands was the King of the Dragonstone Kingdom, Andras Dragonstone.

Totto could feel the immense power of the man in the sky and how the laws were raging around him. He was clearly not like those Rank 5 life forms who got lucky and barely managed to push only one of their laws to the Initial level.

Nero, Zitra, and Totto looked at each other and nodded as they prepared to respond in case this man attacked. 

A smug smile appeared on Sirius' face when he saw the solemn behavior from the people who had terrified him a moment ago.

"Hahaha, what happened, weren't you..."

"Shut up, trash!."

The one who yelled at Sirius was not someone from the Daybreak Clan, but his own father.

Anger could be seen in Andras' face as he focused on his son and rebuked him mercilessly.

"Haven't you done enough? Not only did you fail to bring that boy back, but now you want to gloat when I was forced to come and rescue you."

Sirius trembled when he heard those words, and he looked down to hide the rage and shame he was feeling. 

Andras shook his head, and frustration filled his eyes when he saw the cowardly behavior of his son.

The King of the Dragonstone Kingdom had lived thousands of years and fought in countless battles, so he understood the truth of the universe, that there is no such thing as good and evil, only power. He would not care if his son goes around butchering anyone in his path but the fact he only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong filled him with disappointment. 

He no longer paid attention to his son and focused on the Soul Forging group.

"I will take him and my grandson and leave. I don't have any desire to participate in a meaningless battle." Andras' voice was filled with a powerful sense of authority that could only be born in a man who had been in a position of power for a long time. 

"Father..." Sirius' voice was weak. He kept looking down as he called his father.

"I know about your stupid oath. We will destroy the evidence we have against the Daybreak Clan, and I will assist you in resisting the backlash for the part you failed to fulfill. Whether or not you survive is up to you." Andras kept looking at Totto and the rest and did not bother with Sirius' nasty expression. 

Totto and Zitra looked at each other. They were both in a difficult situation. Ezequiel had shared with them the information about the tablet from the Scientia Kingdom, but they also knew that unless it was necessary, he did not want to use it. 

Although the Daybreak Magic Tower could express Rank 5 battle power, it could not compare with the versatility of a true Law Engraving existence capable of using the laws. They would be forced to restrain him for the Sunlight Core to deal the killing blow, and that battle could generate collateral damage. 

"Since when has my clan been a place where outsiders can come and give orders?." A voice full of undisputable might was heard throughout the entire City of the Sun. 

When Zitra heard that voice, her body trembled. The next moment, she saw a man appear in front of her. He had eight wings filled with purple shooting stars, short black hair, three eyes, and a golden aura full of will.

"You are back." A beautiful smile appeared on Zitra's face when she spoke those words.
