The Daybreak army caused a big commotion in the Magus army under the ten Soul Forginging existences as they closed in at an impressive speed, with the immense figure of the Undying Leviathan carrying so much momentum that it could destroy anything in its path.

This was the first time that many of them had seen a such an impressive creature as an Undying Leviathan, but after a.n.a.lyzing it in detail, they were able to see that despite his living appearance and great power, it was a construct made of energy so they were able to accept it very quickly.

But those one hundred and fifty meters long dragon were different since they were indeed creatures made of flesh and blood, with an impressive and thriving life force and a power corresponding to a Rank 2 life form.

And although those dragonborns on their backs were at Rank 1, with their racial advantages, plus runic sets and armors, there was no one among the Rank 1 Magus that was confident in the chances in a battle against them.

Some discontent could be seen on some Magus as they saw the Sunlight Champions carrying such armors and runes since unlike dragons that were a known race of the universe, they were all members of diverse races that they had always found inferior to them.

So they did not think it was right for such creatures to have better equipment that they.

Zatiel has been observing all the members of the army using his Eye of Life and Creation to see have a better understanding of their power as well his Animus abilities to detect their emotions, so he was able to detect all those small and imperceptible actions.

But he did not say anything and only made sure to mark those he determined problematic in his mind.

He was wearing a dark armor that covers all of his body and had patterns meant so he could channel his energy inside them, and activate his magic abilities.

This was a Rank 3 Magic Equipment known as Fallen Protector, due to its core parts being made of fallen star mineral and was the most powerful creation that Ezequiel has made.

Extending all over his skin, and even covering his face were incredibly complex runic inscriptions that carried a black light.

Most of the members of this army have heard stories about Zatiel, due to their leaders telling them that there was a great chance that he will be part of Heinz"s army.

Those at Rank 1 did not dare to look back at him, as for those Rank 2, although they did not behave in such a submissive way, most of them feel apprehensive when that golden eye was fixed in them.

It was only those Rank 3 Magus, that look at Zatiel and also a.n.a.lyzed him, not showing any of the fear that those under their command were displaying.

Although they were able to feel that he was indeed very strong among those in his Rank, he was still at Rank 2 and they did not think that he will be able to have the abilities to jump an entire Rank in battle power just as he did in Rank 1.


Their thinking was not unfounded since the difference between someone at Rank 1 and Rank 2, was inferior to the difference between those at Rank 2 and Rank 3.

Zatiel did not really care about the personal opinion that those Magus had over him, as long as they follow his every command without hesitation.

After having a good estimate of the power of the army and marking all those who could be a problem in the future he gives a subtle look at Dante.

Immediately the tadpoles in the hand of those Sunlight Champions and Neo-Demons glowed and together with those warriors covered completely by white armors, they acted in unison, all of them moving at the same time.

The Sunlight Champions and white warriors, fly out of the Sun Domain at a great speed and as they do they started to form groups.

Each group consisted of fifteen Sunlight Champions and thirty white warriors, and without losing speed and before they touched the ground the groups were already formed.

As these happened, the two dragons were also descending and the dragonborns in their backs, landed right in front of them, forming small groups of five.

When the dragons claws touched the ground, the earth broke due to their immense weight, and a small earthquake occurred around them, but those dragonborns did not move a single centimeter and remained like statues.

When they saw these action even those stubborn Rank 3 Magus were impressed and had to admit that when it comes to order and discipline, the Daybreak army is truly top tier, since even those dragon that supposed to be an arrogant race were acting just like a part of the army and not as individuals.

If they are able to display this type of unity in battle, then their power will be significantly superior to the mere sum of their numbers.

Zatiel was very satisfied with the behavior of his people, once he saw all of them adopting a military formation with each group being ready to work alone or help the other in case of need.

"Now it is time to show my might." Zatiel thought as he raises in the sky

Zatiel did not waste his time trying to influence the opinion that the Magus army had over him, by displaying his profound knowledge or explaining the benefits of working under him.

Abyssal Lords have always obtained control over their armies displaying their powers and making clear that the only choice they have is to obey.

Once he was ten meters above the head of the Undying Leviathan, Zatiel power starts to increase greatly as he activates both of his True Names, making his skin golden and a dark aura form around his body.

When he does this, not only those Rank 3 Magus but also the Soul Forging existences in the sky focus their entire concentration on him.

The stories about his monstrous talent in battle power had already spread all over the empire, so they were curious about how truthful they were.

Once his life fore and vitality reached their peak, Zatiel proceeds to activate his runic set.

The runes in his body start to burn with a dark light that seems to be breaking his skin, and a black, violent and destructive force starts to form around him as incredibly pure dark flames cover his body completely.

The runic set that Zatiel was using was a very powerful and dangerous one named Catalyst of Negative Energy, and the deadly force he was generating now was reaching the level of a newly promoted Rank 3 life form.

Being true to their knowledgeable nature, the Rank 3 Magus and those Soul Forging existences were able to detect the type of power that was running through Zatiel bodies at this moment and that it increased his strength so much.

But when they understand the origin of his power, there was disappointment in the expression of those Rank 4 individuals in the sky and some of the Rank 3 were showing disdain.

This was due to although negative energy being indeed a very powerful source of destructive force, it was also the ant.i.thesis of life, and if your body was not one with undead properties, then using it to increase your strength will harm you.

So in their minds running that risk just for a momentary impulse in power was foolish and sometime only those obsessed with the perception that others will have on them will do.

Zatiel was oblivious to their thoughts and even if he knew it, he would not care. He would never do something so stupid as to sacrifice his future, merely to make an impression on others.

He knew of the dangers of this runic set, but he had already a way to counter it, and without delay, once the negative energy inside him reached his peak, his Eye of Life and Creation activates to the fullest.

From his golden sun, a great amount of golden fire filled with life came out and started to appear around him, displacing the dark flame made of negative energy that filled his body.

Normally when negative energy enters in contact with a force of life, it will usually react in a violent manner, but even though their quant.i.ties were around the same, the quality of the All-encompa.s.sing Sun-flame was incredibly superior, so a harmonious equilibrium was created among the flames, in the right side of his body one dark and full of death and in the left side one golden and filled with life.

Once that happened, Zatiel power raises even greater as did the dark golden flame inside the domain.

The equilibrium made between those two power seem to be affecting the Undying Leviathan, and since it was a necromancy construct itself, the increase on negative energy, made his power greater and it roared to demonstrate its new might.

"ROOOAAAARRR!!!"

Just the roar made some of the Rank 1 Magus almost faint.

When they filled the power inside Zatiel body, the expression of all those Rank 3 Magus was filled with shock and even those Rank 4 in the sky were surprised, since right now he was displaying a power equal to an Advanced Rank 3 life form, and they could notice that his time in Rank 2 has been insignificant.

There were two among those Soul Forging that were looking at Zatiel with immense interest and although they tried to hide it there was also excitement, they were professor Totto and Zitra.

Zatiel knew that known his might in the heart and mind of this army was something equal to those Rank 3 Magus, and they understand that they need to follow him, but he was not satisfied with it and wanted for them to feel it will be their honor to follow him, not something they need to do but something they wanted.

So he proceeds to prepare the most powerful attack he has, one he obtained thanks to his new Innate Spell.

The Rank 2 Innate Spell he obtained was known as Life Release, and it gave him the ability to swallow energy with his Eye of Life and Creation before transforming it into an attack and releasing it as a beam of energy.

So once he localized a mountain five hundred kilometers away, Zatiel made the dark and golden flame surrounding his body to enter the Eye of Life and Creation and he only stopped when there was a very thin thread of the flames surrounding his body.

Once all the energy was ready to be fire, Zatiel made the last adjustment and prepared his Abyssal Blast to be fired from his eye as well, along with the Life Release.

When Zatiel finishes his preparation and felt like his Eye of Life and Creation was about to explode from so much energy, he fires his attack, releasing six pairs of beams of energy to the mountain one after the other.

The attacks reached the mountain at almost the same time and when they landed, they generated an explosion with a radius of total destruction of ten kilometers and one hundred kilometers around the blast area everything was inundated in dark and golden flames.

Seeing someone at Rank 2, fire an attack that could kill almost all of them, the entire army including those Rank 3 Magus were amazed.

"There are many reasons why you will follow me, but the most important one is that I am the strongest one!"

The entire Magus army turns to look to Zatiel, and despite seeing his face pale due to the immense exhaustion and energy depletion, in the heart of most there was admiration and respect, and also hope since following someone so powerful, will mean that their chances of returning alive will be greater.
