Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

Zatiel's body started to glow as he activated Sunlight Speed and on his back, a ring of dark flames appeared. 

His third eye began to glow as a part of the golden flames filled the place and started to gather in front of him creating dozens of small golden fireballs, then the ring split and two three-meter wide balls of dark flames appeared.

The three rank 1 leaders didn't waste time and made the energy in their bodies erupt before preparing themselves for a counterattack.

The spheres of dark flames headed for the cyclops and yuan-ti and as for the yeti, he received the golden flames. They immediately distanced themselves from the attack, already knowing how powerful they were.

Neix knew that his allies would not be able to withstand these spells without severe injuries so he roared and from his mouth, a deathly cold cone of air came out fighting against the flames.

This attack was the most powerful the yeti had and was able to significantly reduce the power in the dark and golden flames.

Zatiel saw this and he shot in the direction of the yeti. Neix could not be happier with the action of the man because his path technique may have focused on his energy, but still, his body was stronger than most Novice Rank 1 Body-Refinement Magi. 

So he launched himself against his enemy with his claws ready to split him into pieces.

When they were about to crash against each other, Zatiel's third eye acted again making the golden fire explode, but instead of flames what it released was a blinding light.

The three rank 1 leaders screamed as their eyes burned due to the intense light and got temporarily blinded, but unlike the other two, Neix was able to use his consciousness to see his surroundings.

The yeti knew that the opponent in front of him was no fool and understood that such a trick could not really affect him. So when he detected that there was no one in his surroundings, he sent his consciousness to the cyclops and yuan-ti but he was startled as he could find nothing.

'Where the hell is he!?' 

Neix was scared but he didn't take long to find out where Zatiel was, as an immense feeling of danger assaulted him from his back

He was not able to do anything as a fist with golden flames impacted him on the upper section of his spine. 

Although the ice armor came out to protect him, the punch had so much power that it was able to bypass the Rank Spell on its own, and with the flames that created an explosion on impact, it was more than enough to blast the Yeti away and make his bones crack.

What assaulted Neix besides the pain was confusion, he didn't stop his consciousness from scanning for one moment during the entire fight, so he could not understand how Zatiel was able to reach his back undetected. 

What the yeti didn't know is that although the consciousness is very useful to see your surroundings, if your opponent is stronger or uses his consciousness to camouflage his from yours, your detection abilities are severely weakened. 

And Zatiel's Primal Chaos Consciousness was superior to the one of the yeti.

Zatiel was going to follow with his attack on the yeti when a huge rock almost twice his size came crashing at him. 

Due to concentrating all of his consciousness to hide from Neix, the cyclops was able to attack him and caught him by surprise.

The rock came with such a power that it threw him in the air, and whether it was a coincidence or part of the cyclops plan, he came crashing where the yuan-ti was.

"Die you damn human!" 

The yuan-ti was infuriated due to losing one of his arms and he attacked with his sword slashing at Zatiel's head.

When the sword was about to decapitate him, Zatiel's body twisted in the air, dodging the attack and he ended up face to face with the now terrified yuan-ti.

"Wai..." 

The serpent folk wanted to beg, but what he got was only three cold eyes and a hand that choked his neck.

The next thing the yuan-ti felt was agonizing pain as flames started to burn his entire body and the golden fire continued consuming him even after he died.

Immediately Zatiel threw the body to the ground, before flashing to the side just in time to dodge another huge rock.

The moment the cyclops saw his attack had failed and one of his allies died in such a horrible way, he became terrified and tried to escape. But Zatiel's speed was superior to his and he was moments away from reaching him.

When Zatiel was about to grab the cyclops, from the sky dozens of ice lance formed and came crashing in his direction. 

This attack came from Neix, who had managed to recover just enough to launch the spell.

The cyclops became delighted when he saw this and turned around to smash Zatiel.

Zatiel saw this but instead of moving back or trying to dodge the spell, his eyes filled with determination as he made his golden flames cover him before summoning the dark fire as a second cover, making a two-layer cocoon, blasting his way through the spears.

Although the fire was able to weaken the spell, most of them still managed to break his defense, reaching his body making him bleed and hurting him greatly. But his golden flames healed all those wounds immediately and before long, he was able to reach the cyclops.

The cyclops was shocked. Not only was his opponent able to survive those huge ice spears but he also managed to reach him, and because he had foolishly tried to get close to him to strike Zatiel, now he had no way of dodging the attack.

Zatiel reached the cyclops and with all his power he punched right where his eye was, making it explode along with his head in a blast of fire.

Neix's heart filled with desperation. His two allies were dead, and although he managed to land one of the most powerful spells he could cast on his enemy, he could see how his wound disappeared in a blink of an eye and it was as if nothing happened.

"Mighty Magus, please spare my life and I will follow your every command," Neix kneeled and started to beg for mercy. He knew that his only way of getting out of here alive was if the monster in front of him lets him.

Zatiel was not surprised by the action of the yeti. This type of scenario had happened thousands of times in his previous life.

He said nothing and just sent his consciousness to explore the body of Neix and commanded his A.I. Chip to do the same.

[Bip.. scanning target

Name: Unknown

Race Abominable Yeti (High Rank 1)

Strength: 29.1

Physique: 34.4

Speed:17.2

Energy Source: 71.6

Body condition: Severe depletion of energy and great harm in the body]

"You managed to reach rank 1 using some sort of path technique that focused on your control over the natural energies. Your spells are strong and due to your racial traits your body is still moderately powerful for your rank." 

Aloturgh it sounded like a compliment, Zatiel's face was emotionless and his eyes were still cold.

Neix noted this but still, he was confident that his worth was more than enough to entice any Rank 1 being. But the next thing he saw was Zatiel disappearing from his view only to feel a hand covering his mouth. 

He tried to defend but before he could act, a blast of flames came out from his hand and filled the inside of his body to the point that golden fire started to come out from his mouth and ears.

"If I were to accept as my subordinate someone like you, who leaves all his people to die just for the possibility that they can weaken their enemy, then I could only blame myself when they eventually betray me." 

Zatiel was indifferent to the drowned screams of pain from the yeti.

Unfortunately for Neix, his constitution was strong so the time it took him to die was long and the pain was agonizing.

When the Yeti finally stopped screaming and died, Zatiel let his body fall to the ground as the flames consumed him.

Zatiel saw his surroundings and in all directions, golden flames were consuming the bodies of their victims making their golden glow brighter. 

Not wasting time, he sat down and started to rest. Although he managed to defeat all his enemies and his body was in perfect condition, his sun power was almost entirely depleted and his abyss aura had less than a fourth of its reserves.

As Zatiel rested, Sophia and Ezequiel appeared by his side and waited for him to finish restoring his energy.
