"Honestly, I don't understand why those who have reached Rank 4 behave so arrogantly. The number of individuals that can awake their True Soul with enough effort and a bit of talent is uncountable. You believe yourself to be so magnificent and treat Rank 3 life forms as insects when the truth is that you are still so incredibly weak." Ezequiel showed no interest in the reaction of the trio lying on the ground.
The two Rank 3 Magi that accompanied Sirius and Jenner were not bound, but they were so afraid that they did not dare to move a muscle. Other than fear, the emotion that awoke in their hearts was respect. Regardless of their personal feelings for Ezequiel, they could not help but feel admiration for the Neo-Demon.
Just like them, Ezequiel was a Rank 3 life form, but they would never dare to behave so brazenly in front of Soul Forging existences, no matter what kind of background they had.
The words of the Neo-Demon made sense to him, but not for the other two Rank 3 Magi.
Ezequiel's mentality made him see only two great differences in power, those who are still bound to their life span and the ones who had shattered their mortal cocoon and reached eternity.
For the Supreme Neo-Demon, only those who had become Beings of Laws were allowed to be arrogant and felt pride in their achievements. The rest of the life forms that have yet to reach Rank 7, like him, must never be satisfied with their power and always have to give their best as they move forward, pushing their talent and potential beyond their limits.
That type of mentality could only be born in a person who saw his talent as barely acceptable, despite being the highest possible tier in the universe. For him, having the label of absolute genius in a Principal World was meaningless.
For those like Sirius and Jenner, awakening their True Soul was an amazing achievement that should earn them the admiration of everybody. Even if their talent was greater, that type of reasoning was bound to limit how much they could grow.
The pressure on the duo kept rising, as did the power in the arrows. It did not pass long before every single one of those hundreds of projectiles reached a strength equal to a Rank 4 spell.

"The higher-ups from the empire will butcher all of you if someone so important like me, the Head of the Empire Commercial Association, were to die." Jenner was having a better time resisting the pressure from the tower, but she still could not refrain from coughing blood.
Those threats only made Ezequiel's disappointment grow larger. The Neo-Demon waved his hand, and the duo rose in the air until they were in front of his face.
"Another stupid behavior. A powerful background can indeed protect you from certain people, but what about those who are crazy enough to ignore the consequences and kill you on the spot?. They could be hunted by the organizations behind you and eventually perish, but you would still be dead."
The fear in the hearts of Jenner and Sirius grew when they heard those words. Being avenged would not bring them any satisfaction if they were dead.
"It is true that killing you two would have dire consequences and allow those rats in the darkness to attack us. I don't know the precise power of those behind you two, but I am sure they are at least Law Engraving existences. Although we have the means to face off a Rank 5 life form, even if we win, the casualties would be too high among the weak members of the clan."
The duo was able to relax when they heard Ezequiel's words, but that did not last very long.
The Neo-Demon made a black tablet appear and allowed the Magi to read the words in it.
"To the right hand of Zatiel Daybreak, Ezequiel. According to our deal, I grant you this tablet that you can use to instantly summon a squad led by the First Prince to slay any group attacking your people and then relocate the Daybreak Clan to an island near the Wuxuan continent, where they will enjoy the protection of the Scientia Kingdom. King of the Scientia Kingdom, John Eric Rebellion."
Sirius and Jenner's bodies trembled when they read the message on that table, and the shock they felt was the greater they have experienced in their lives.?They did not doubt the authenticity of the tablet since no one would dare to falsify a message from the greatest powerhouse inside the Magi World, not to mention the words had the power of the laws in them, something only an individual who had reached the Soul Law Domain Rank could do.
"Doesn't this.... doesn't this mean you have already secured the safety of your people?" Jenner did not know how strong the First Prince of the Scientia Kingdom was, but thanks to her position, she had learned he was the one who handled the security for the Wisdom Auction House. He was the one, who with a single roar, pierced the consciousness of a Rank 6 life form and forced him to run.
When Ezequiel heard the words of the woman, a smile appeared on his face, and then he began to laugh.
"Please don't tell me you people thought I would wait for my Master to come back and fix everything. I mean, when have I ever given somebody the feeling I am some damsel in distress that needs to be rescued."
Jenner did not dare to respond since she truly believed the Daybreak Clan was hopeless without Zatiel, and unless he came back, they would be doomed.
"What could someone like you possibly trade with the King of the Scientia Kingdom for his help!" Sirius could not contain the envy in his heart. John Erick Rebellion was a legendary being that he could never meet in person, and yet the Rank 3 life form in front of him was able to do business with him.
Ezequiel saw the despair that was filling Sirius' spirit, and he continued to smile as he told him the price he paid for that help.
"Nothing much. He will give me three names, and no matter who they are or where they are hiding, I will kill them."
The eyes of the Prince of the Dragon Kingdom twitched when he heard that. Even if he sold everything he had, he would never be able to obtain the help of the First Prince of the Scientia Kingdom.
The only thing Ezequiel needed to do to be able to mobilize a power capable of killing a Rank 6 life form is promising he would kill three individuals.
Unlike Sirius, whose mind was filled with resentment, Jenner was able to maintain a clear head and understand the meaning behind Ezequiel's promise.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRight now, the assassination skills of Ezequiel were useless for the King of the Scientia Kingdom, but there was no mention of a time limit to give the name. What if John Erick Rebellion gave this genius a target to kill when he becomes a Soul Law Domain existence?.
And if Ezequiel were to enter the mythical Rank 7, then that meant the value of each of those names would be incredible.
"If you have fixed everything, why do your people behave as if they were in immense danger?" Jenner could not contain her curiosity. When she arrived at the City of the Sun, she clearly detected the gloomy aura that permeated the city.
Ezequiel turned to the woman, and coldness appeared on his face. He made the tablet disappear before waving his hand and making the duo crash on the floor.
"You have mistaken my attitude as the desire to have a conversation with you two. I gave you this information so you know that I can kill you now, and nothing would happen to my people." Ezequiel's voice was filled with killing intent, and terror could be seen in the faces of Sirius and the rest.
The Neo-Demon rose his hand, and with coldness in his eyes, he snapped his fingers.
The hundreds of golden arrows were fired at the Magi group, and the power in them was more than enough to disintegrate their bodies and break their souls.
Right when the arrows were about to land and kill them all, they disintegrated into dots of light that returned to the Sunlight Core.
Jenner and Sirius did not understand what had just happened, but the next moment the pressure that was crushing their bodies vanished, and they saw how Ezequiel had returned to his height of two and a half meters and was sitting on the throne.
The imposing aura on the Neo-Demon frightened them, and no one dared to look at him directly in the eyes.
"The reason I don't kill all of you is not fear, but the fact that taking your lives is not worth the trouble that moving the clan generates. Now speak what you came to say, and if you are lucky enough to leave alive, then you can tell the ones that control you that the Daybreak Clan is not something people like them can bully without consequences. Sooner or later, my Master will come back, and then we will have the power not only to defend ourselves but to attack as well."
