276 Journey to the Eye Dynasty

The City of the Sun had acquired major changes over the last couple of years. Huge buildings were made to accommodate the rise in members of the Daybreak Clan, without the need to extend the diameter of the city, which would have increased the difficulty of surveillance and security. 

Hundreds of Sunlight Champions and Neo-Demons were leaving and entering the city at all times. Most of them headed for the Endless Forest to either harvest resources or hunt for magic creatures.

The Daybreak Magic Tower's external appearance did not change much. However, its core components obtained a huge upgrade. In terms of energy storage and energy output, it had long gone surpassed the Sinux Magic Tower and could be compared to the ones used by Law Engraving life forms.

The energy inside the Sunlight Core had reached a level so high that the original Perpetual Dynamic Core was changed for another of a higher quality. From the Sunlight Core, several pillars of fire came out and connected with eighty spheres of golden flames that were dispersed all over the city.

Those spheres were Sunshine Cores, and the amount of energy they were able to contain was equal to fifteen percent of the one inside the Sunlight Core in the peak of the Daybreak Magic Tower.

The eighty Sunshine Cores were connected with the Sunlight Core, and each one of them could release the energy gathered in the rest by themselves, making the reaction speed of the City of the Sun extremely fast. The full power in each of the Sunshine Core could put in danger the life of a weak Rank 4 life form.

The improvements made in the city and magic tower were expensive, but the wealth of the Daybreak Clan was much larger.

The money the Daybreak Clan generated every day could make Soul Forging existences green with envy. They obtained gigantic amounts of raw materials from the Beta Heavenly World and the Endless Forest. That was transformed into runes, magic weapons, and drugs that were sell all across the empire. The equipment created by Daybreak Clan was popular due to its low price and high quality.

........

Inside the room where the young man with the incredibly powerful aura appeared, Sigrid and Aren were looking at Heinz and waited for him to explain what was happening. 

Heinz gave a small nod to the young man before turning to look at the Eye Holders.

"He is Second Prince of the Scientia Kingdom, Gabriel Rebellion, and will be accompanying us in our journey to the Eye Dynasty."

Sigrid and Aren were surprised to learn the identity of the young man, and they quickly bowed to Gabriel. Their understanding of the oldest organization in the Magi World was very shallow, but what they knew was that the royal family of the Scientia Kingdom was unparalleled. No force in the Eye Dynasty or Aeternum Empire could match them.

However, this piece of information only managed to generate even more doubt in the mind of the Eye Holders. They did not understand why someone with such a special identity as Gabriel would be accompanying them on their journey.

"My brother asked for his help due to a piece of information we got not long ago about the people who are after for you two."

The moment Zatiel had chosen to help the duo, he thoroughly researched everything related to them, and that included their enemies. 

When they heard Hienz's words, Sigrid and Aren were not able to stop the hate they held in their hearts from showing on their faces. The ones who are hunting them are the same who butchered their friends and family.

"We have not been able to identify the group behind the attack on your clan. However, a few months ago we learned of a force working in the shadows that have been searching for you two." Heinz spoke in a calm tone, and the truth was that neither he nor the Eye Holders siblings were surprised by such a thing happening.

One of the reasons why Zatiel brought the duo to the Beta Heavenly World was to hide them from the enemy tracking spells. They always used full-body armors and the only ones who knew their true identities were the people Zatiel trusted. 

"The troublesome part is that the leader of that force is a Law Engraving existence and a Magus." Heinz gave one meaningful stare at the duo.

Sigrid and Aren were smart and understood what the Cultivator was implying. A Magus couldn't have destroyed their clan, so the Law Engraving existence was surely a mercenary. Anyone capable of getting a Rank 5 life form to act as a hunting dog was not simple. 

The duo felt apprehension when they thought about the power of the person going after them. They had assumed that the one who appeared that day and exterminated their clan was the leader of their enemies, but it appeared he was just a pawn. 

Heinz did not blame the duo for their reaction since he was also baffled by that piece of information when he got it. The Cultivator had already made all the preparation needed for the journey, even getting an ambassador token, which allowed him to explore all the territories of the Eye Dynasty.

The Magi World was not the Beta Heavenly World, where Heinz could act without any repercussion or fear of the consequences. The Eye Dynasty was filled with all types of ancient powerhouses, and Heinz could not afford to anger them.

In other times, the token would have been enough to make sure that even Tier One Clans led by Soul Law Domain existences would be cautious about harming him. Unfortunately, the relationship between the empire and dynasty had only grown worse over the years, so although the token was still useful, its deterrence effect was not that impressive.

Initially, Zatiel thought that Heinz would have no problem with taking the siblings to the Holy Trial, but things appeared to be more complicated.

Even though the Heinz was a Rank 5 life form, his battle power was only above average among Law Engraving existences. Of course, this was impressive since the Cultivator was extremely young and had just entered the Flesh Engraving Stage.

Heinz understood the importance of taking Sigrid and Aren to the Holy Trial, so he had no problem with Zatiel requesting the help of Gabriel. The fact he lacked the strength to fulfill this task alone did not dampen his spirit. His battle will was as strong as ever, and his heart burned with the desire for more power.

After explaining everything to the Eye Holders, Heinz focused on Gabriel. The first time he saw the Second Prince, he was too weak to measure his strength. Although he still could not accurately determine the battle strength of Gabriel, Heinz estimated that the power of his True Soul was at the Peak of Rank 5. 

What surprised Heinz was that as he focused his consciousness on the Second Prince, what he saw was not a person but an immense white star. The Cultivator was sure that if he did not contain the energy inside him, then the radiation he would generate could kill any Rank 3 life form on a radius of five kilometers. 

Gabriel was also focusing on Heinz, and after a moment, he gave the swordsman an approving nod.

"I am impressed with your rapid growth, especially regarding your law comprehension. I guess it is true what they say, Dao Hearts are incredibly difficult to train, but they can grant a talent with the laws not inferior to a Law bloodline."

After saying that, Gabriel focused on Sigrid and Aren. The power of his consciousness was so high that there was nothing the duo could hide from him.

The siblings felt that Gabriel's eyes were able to see their past and even glimpse their future.

The Second Prince just gave the duo a small smile before focusing once again on Heinz. 

"I already discussed this with Zatiel, and I guess he transmitted that to you, but I will say it once again. I will only interfere if an opponent arrives that you cannot possibly defeat."

Zatiel had already informed Heinz of that, so he nodded to Gabriel to show his understanding. He knew that it would be troublesome for the Second Prince if news about him bullying people were to reach the Scientia Kingdom. The royal family would normally only act inside the Magi World when they needed to deliver punishment in the name of one of their citizens, so it was better if Gabriel did not need to act. 

Since everything was ready now, Heinz did not waste time and covered Sigrid and Aren with his consciousness. The trio fused with space, making it impossible for even Rank 4 life forms to detect them before teleporting. 

Gabriel saw the trio leave. The next second, his body transformed into a stream of white energy that flashed into the distance.
