Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Zatiel saw how the weakened creature left the continent and headed for the nearest sign of intelligent life, a Magic Tower.

The Beyond the Shackles Magi frowned when they saw that. Despite their personal feelings toward those nightmarish creatures, Zatiel created them, so they did not feel the need to interfere, but when it approached one of their strongholds, everything changed.

It seemed that Zatiel lost control of one of them, but they doubted things were so simple. Besides, even if that was the case, the Neo-Demon should still try to handle it and not just stand there doing nothing.

Zatiel felt their gazes, but he did not have time to bother with them, as he focused his mind solely on these creatures. They could become a great weapon or such a significant threat that no sign of their existence must remain in the Prima Universe.

There were four Magi in the Magic Tower that the nightmarish creature headed to. Like all the other warriors in Gods' Tomb, they used their stronghold to watch the fight between Zatiel and the Divine Avatars, so they knew the creature's origin and how resilient it was.

Regardless of its origin, the Magi would have attacked the creature the moment it came near their Magic Tower, as its aura was just too dark and made them feel like they were prey.

As soon as the nightmarish creature entered the continent, the Magic Tower unleashed a force field that should suppress any life form.

Unfortunately, it did nothing to the creature, and the hunger in its bloody and filthy eyes only grew as it came nearer the Magic Tower. It was born from ideas and emotions, something a measly Rank 7 force field could not touch.

The Magi frowned when they saw that. None of them chose to leave the Magic Tower, as the creature seemed to lack the brute power to force them out, and they could depend on the tower for the offensive.

A fireball appeared on top of the Magic Tower and shot at the creature, making it explode.

"?BOOM!"

The explosion shattered the nightmarish creature, but it did not reconstruct itself this time. While that seemed like a good thing, the Magi knew that the spell fired from the Magic Tower could not compare with the blast shot from the child's red lightsaber in both power and quality, so they did not understand what was happening.

"KAKAKAKAKA!"

A sinister laugh that could chill someone's heart echoed through the continent, and a black fog emerged around the Magic Tower.

Firing spells against it would be futile since they could not even target the creature and would only work to diminish the Magic Tower's energy pool, not to mention that if they were to harm the continent, the Plane Consciousness could attack them.

The only silver lining was that the black and polluted fog could not pierce the Magic Tower's walls. Seeing that the magic defenses hold up calmed the Magi, as they hoped someone would come to help them.

Unfortunately for them, no one would come, and despite the fog not being able to pierce into the Magic Tower, a menacing aura still affected their emotions.

At one point, the negative emotions inside the Magi piled up, and some began to express a deep sense of fear and anguish.

"KAKAKAKAKA!" Once again, the evil laughter echoed through the continent, making the fear in the Magi grow, but to their shock, the black fog vanished the next moment.

The Magi were full of confusion. No one came to help them, and it was clear by its behavior that the creature acted instinctively, so they did not believe it just got bored.

"AAAA!" A cry of anguish awakened everybody of their analysis. They turned to see one of their comrades grabbing her head as an expression of unbearable pain appeared on her face.

The eyes of the strongest Magus of the group narrowed, and he sent his consciousness into the woman's Inner Universe. He was at the Late Seed Stage while the woman's cultivation put her in the Middle Void Stage, so he faced no resistance.

Usually, that would have been a great offense, but the Magus did not have the luxury of asking for permission.

Utter shock appeared in the man's eyes as he saw how the nightmarish creature managed to crawl up into the woman's Inner Universe and was currently holding her True Soul and devouring the Primordial Essence.

Things did not end there as the nightmarish creature's foul aura contaminated the Inner Universe. Even if he saved the woman, her cultivation path would probably be severed.

The nightmarish creature stopped devouring the True Soul's essence for a moment and turned toward the man's consciousness before unleashing a roar.

"?AAAAAAAA!"

Pain appeared in the man's face and blood leaked from his eyes as that roar practically shattered the part of his consciousness inside the woman's Inner Universe.

She could not stop twitching and had already lost the ability to speak. The other Magi were lost, and they did not know how to help her.

It managed to infiltrate the woman's mind and was now corrupting it. Trying to send a spell into the woman's Inner Universe was beyond their capabilities, not to mention that it would be the same as killing her.

None of them specialized on soul attacks, and even if they did, the creature was clearly powerful as it overwhelmed the strongest of them while still pinning down the woman's True Soul.

"What does he think he is doing!?" A Beyond the Shackles existence roared toward Hades as he saw the state of the woman. It was clear how angry he was by Zatiel's lack of action.

Hades opened his eyes when he heard that roar and turned to the origin.

The Beyond the Shackles Magus resembled a humanoid storm with six arms. By the information in the Neo-Demon archives, Hades recognized the man as Hiker, the founder of Pluto's Lightning Clan.

Hades noticed that the man's soul force put him at the Peak Beyond Falsehood Stage, and he highly doubted that Hiker's battle power would be above that.

It was evident that the Magi inside the Magic Tower attacked by the nightmarish creature were part of his organization. Or else, Hiker would not be the one yelling.

Even if the Realm Avatar did not fear the man, that did not mean he could just ignore those words, especially since it seemed that Zatiel's lack of action also angered the others.

Before Hades could attempt to defuse the situation, a message from Zatiel reached his mind.

The Neo-Demon wanted to test the nightmarish creature's power and abilities, but that did not mean he would sacrifice innocents to do it. His goal was to create a utopian universe, and sacrificing others for a selfish reason would be going against his nature.

His right eye showed him how the nightmarish creature used the woman's dread as a gate into her mind and then invaded the Inner Universe, another impressive ability of the creature's kind.

Zatiel was ready to act and save the woman, but then he felt that something was off. The Magus female was not the only one scared. They all were, and there was someone inside the tower weaker than her.

So that raised the question, why did the nightmarish creature choose her?

Acting as fast as he could, Zatiel gazed into their karma to see their uniqueness, and that is when he saw the reason why the nightmarish creature chose the woman.

Due to the immense distance and obstacles in his path, Zatiel only saw a few pictures, but they were more than enough to erase any thought of helping the Magus.

Before, not helping her would have meant betraying his beliefs, but now, just the thought of getting near her disgusted him. Zatiel knew that letting the nightmarish creature kill the Magus would anger those Beyond the Shackles Magi, but the silver flame in his eyes meant he had already made a decision.

Hades obtained all that information, and the same loath in Zatiel's eyes appeared in his heart.

"Those nightmarish creatures enjoy devouring evil and depraved people, and that woman was someone who likes to play "games" with little children." The way Hades spoke that last part gave everybody a hint of what he meant.

"Do you mean you are doing this on purpose!?" Hiker roared with anger. It seemed that he already knew of the women's depravity or that he simply did not care.

The answer to that question did not come from Hades but from Zatiel, whose willpower finally found its path, the core belief that embodied his existence.

"JUSTICE!"
