Two figures could be seen moving through the forest, they were so fast that they reached an incredible speed of 2 kilometers every minute, and even then you could see that it was not even close to their maximum speed for the expression on their faces.Of course, they were Zatiel and Ezequiel that were going to the place where the Shadow Wolf has his lair.
Zatiel has always been someone that pays every single grievance multiple for a thousand, of course, if the creature was too powerful, he would just wait and take revenge when the time was right, after all, there is nothing wrong in seeking revenge but if you do it when you are too weak then you are just stupid.
As Zatiel was running he could see that Ezequiel was keeping with his speed with no problem.
Neo-Demons are not all the same, the Chaotic Core improves the body according to their previous apt.i.tudes before the transformation, and this is just the beginning, as they grow stronger the changes are more and more significant.
´So speed is one of his main attributes, interesting. A. I Chip scan him´
"Bip... scanning
Name: Ezequiel
Race: Neo-Demon
Streng: 3.5
Physique:3.6
Agility:4.2
Abyss Aura: 5.2"
´Not bad at all, his attributes are inferior to mine but that is to be expected after all before the transformation I was already as strong as a warrior and little EZ was just a simple human, and his Abyss Aura is pretty strong already so it won"t be long before he reaches the 7 points to make him equal to a Rank 3 apprentice magi´.
As Zatiel was running he starts to look through the Rank 0 spells that were in the first memories.
Normally someone will choose a spell according to their affinity to natural energy, like flames or darkness, but Neo-Demons don"t need to worry about that, they can use the abyss aura to create any type of spell, of course it is better to reduce the range of types of energies you use to make it easier improve your proficiency in a determined type of magic.
As Zatiel was looking at the spells, 4 of them attracted his attention.
"Shadow form: Uses darkness energy to cover the user in a shadow mantle that enhances his agility in 30%, and it also reduces the possibility of the opponent detect him. Consumption: Abyss Aur1 every minute"
"Corrosive Fireball: Produce a fireball that when makes contact it generates flames that attach themselves to the enemy and start to expand themself. Consumption: Abyss Aur3. Damage 10 degrees. Effective distance 15 meters"
"Somber spear: Create a spear made of dark energy that generates himself from the target shadow and throw at him. Consumption: Abyss Aur2. Damage 8 degrees. Effective distance 10 meters."
"Death Enchantment: Can temporally enhance a weapon with negative energy adhering 3 degrees of magical damage to every blow, and also infect the wound with death energy. Consumption: Abyss Aur1 every minute."
As Zatiel was looking at the spells he started to search for the information about the cla.s.sification of the strength of spells that he got in the magic tower.
´The damage in this world is calculated according to magical crystals, they are the most basic currency that Magi use and also the source of power to most types of magical machines and magic towers. Every magical crystal can release about 1 degree of energy when they explode"
Although he has even more powerful spells, these were the most battle effective at this moment with his current Abyss Aura, and besides they were pretty powerful themselves, after all the maximum damage a rank 3 apprentice can hope to achieve is between 15 and 20 degrees of damage and that is only when they have reached the peak of rank 3 and are considered Pseudo-Magi.
But Zatiel was barely beginning his path as Neo-Demon as there was a long path before he would reach the peak of the infant stage of a Neo-Demons.
´I will start with shadow form and death enchantment, they will be useful all the way to rank 1, as for ranged attacks although Corrosive fireball is strong the innate spell that all Neo-Demons have should be even stronger´, While Zatiel was thinking in the innate spell, he could not help but be excited, after all, is so simple yet powerful that even when he is more powerful it will still be effective.
Now with his spell already decided Zatiel started to think in a useful spell to Ezequiel.
´His main way of combat goes around fast and deadly, in that case, this spell should be excellent for him.´
As Ezequiel was running through the forest a voice was heard in his head.
"Litle EZ I will send you a spell, practice it and if you have any doubt, ask me".
Before he even had the time for wondering what was happening, information about a spell and his way of practicing it was sent directly into his consciousness.
"Lightning armor: Uses lightning energy to coat the user enhancing his speed and strength, and also the lightning offer protection against attacks, during this state user can´t use any other spell due to the constant transformation on abyss aura into lightning natural energy. Enhance strength and speed in 30% and offer protection of 8 degrees of magical and physical damage. Consumption: Abyss Aur1 every minute."
Ezequiel was, shocked not only he could communicate directly with Zatiel but an immense amount of information was directly imprinted in his brain and he could feel like if he as knows it all this time.
Zatiel almost laughs at the face that Ezequiel made when he heard his voice in his mind.
To supernatural being at or above rank 1 communicating with their consciousness is very easy but being able to transmit knowledge will take time and even then it will not be so clear as Ezequiel felt it in his mind.
Zatiel was able to do it thanks to the Chaotic Core, all the cores can stablish communication between them as long as they are in the same plane and transfer knowledge if they are in close distance.
After Zatiel explains how he did it, both of them started to practice their spells.

Neo-Demons don"t need to inscribe spell runes into their consciousness, they just need to manipulate the abyss aura and activate the spell, gain proficiency in them and the more they used the spell the better the body can perform it and not only does the consumption of abyss aura diminish but the strength of the spell grows. That is thanks to the Chaotic Core familiarizing with the way the spell work and making it more easy for the abyss aura to activate them.
As they were running you could see shadows forming around Zatiel and lightning covering Ezequiel enhancing their speed.
It didn"t take long before they arrived ar the magical creature lair.
As soon as they arrived a howl could be heard and the Shadow wolf appear before them. Last time Zatiel was to busy to take a good look but now he could see the almost 3-meter wolf with a powerful body and a furious expression.
Zatiel looked at the beast and start to walk to him as he activated his Shadow form.
"Do you remember me, you little doggy." Say Zatiel as he looked at the wolf-like if it was dead meat already.
The Shadow wolf could not communicate with words, but as a magical creature he can understand the human language, and although the person before him looks familiar the moment he heard the insult, anger showed on his face as he throws himself to Zatiel with his jaw open to bite his head off.
Zatiel dodges the attack with ease and before the wolf could land he grab his hind leg, raise him over his head and smash him against the ground making rocks fly.
Before the wolf could even how in pain a heavy kick landed right in his ribs trowing him 7 meters in the air.
Without waiting for the wolf to land, he jumped and punch him right in the head, throwing him through the air and making him crash against a tree.
Zatiel looked at the badly wounded wolf without any joy or excitement, after all for him this beast was nothing more than an insignificant event in his life.
"Things are in constant change, once you are the hunter and the next moment you are the prey. The moment you become complacent with your strength is the moment you sealed your fate. Its time to end this"
As Zatiel was about to give the finis.h.i.+ng blow, shadows started to cover the wolf as he stands up and release a monstrous howl.
His eyes were red and blood was falling through his mouth as his body was growing in size.
"A last desperate attempt. Ok, you will be the first to experience the might of the first innate spell of a Neo-Demon!". Zatiel eyes become serious for the first time in the fight as he commanded the A.I. Chip to a.n.a.lyze the might of the spell he was about to use.
Innate spell is a technique that can"t be taught, they are usually the signature move of a species like the dragon breath or the petrifying stare of gorgons, they are engraved in the mind of the species and they know it the since the moment they are born. Zatiel seriousness was normal, after all, he is the first Neo-Demon so this attack was only theoretical and this will be the first time it is used.
The now berserker Shadow wolf attacked without regard for anything with a speed almost twice as before.
Zatiel did not move or try to dodge, he just stands there and as the beast was closing in, he raises his hand and when the beast was barely 5 meters from him, he activates the spell.
"Abyssal Blast!"
A concentrated beam of pure Abyssal Aura was released from his hand with a diameter of 2.5 meters, the attack was so fast and potent that the wolf didn"t have time to react before he was swallowed for the attack and disintegrated and even then, the blast travel another 20 meters and destroy a couple of trees before stopping.
Zatiel couldn"t help but make a surprise face as he saw the damage the attack makes, after all, he wasn"t even close to reaching Rank 1 Neo-Demon but this attack was almost as powerful as an attack from a newly ascendant Rank 1 Magi.
"Hahaha, Neo-Demons are truly the strongest race that exists." Zatiel could not help but laugh from the excitement and pride that he felt for being able to create such a powerful life-form.
"But of course, there is no way I cant truly fight a rank 1 Magi at this moment, even if they just stand still and does nothing their defensive spell will be enough to at least block the first attack, and this spell has obvious restriction"
The Abyssal Blast was certainly powerful, one of the reasons it his so is that it doesn"t use the abyssal aura that Zatiel has on his body, but the one that is concentrated inside the Chaotic Core and it was boosted with the chaotic mental impact that it was being filtrated from the abyss aura in the body, so not only generated immense magic damage but also affected the conscious of the enemy. Due to this, it is only able to be released once a day hence making it not very practical in a prolongated fight.
´As my chaotic core grow the amount of times I will be able to release this attack will grow as will his power, speaking of that, A.I. chip show me the result´.
"Bip...
Abyssal Blast: User fires a potent beam made of pure and concentrated Abyss Aura that it is generated in the chaotic core, along with a mental impact in the target if this one his reached. Current times a day it can be used: One. As long the chaotic core grows the ability to store energy will grow as well the quality of this one, making the attack more strong and be able to be released more times. Current damage: 28 degrees"
"Nice, too bad that there is nothing is left from the wolf, it would have made a good meal"
As Zatiel was thinking of eating, 5 meters away Ezequiel was stunned.
Since the beginning of the fight Ezequiel never intended to help, after all, he was certain that the fight with this beast was nothing but a little game for his master and seeing how the wolf was so badly hurt just at the beginning of the fight, prove him right.
What shocked him was the Abyssal Blast that Zatiel use, after all the attack was so powerful that disintegrated a beast twice the size a bull, and what shocked him, even more, was that he knows that he can use that spell too. Since the moment he becomes a Neo-Demon how to use the spell was already implanted in his brain.
´Can I be that powerful?.´ Ezequiel though as he was looking at his hand.
"Hey you little brat, stop dreaming, it is time to leave this boring place". Zatiel spoke as he started to leave the area.
Zatiel could not help but make fun of Ezequiel as he saw him looking at his hand but didn"t say nothing more, after all, seeing someone release an attack so powerful and knowing that you can do it too can distract anyone.
Ezequiel got a little embarra.s.sed being found out that he was daydreaming, so he just nodded and didn"t say much as he started to follow Zatiel as they leave the Grey Swamp and direct themselves to their next destination.
