Abyssal Lord of the Magi World

A week after Sigrid and Aren had left the Beta Heavenly World, a huge celebration party was held in the north of the Fornes Continent and even Soul Forging existences took part in it. The reason was simple, the 54th magic tower had been built, and finally, the force field of the Ten Tower Formation covered the entire continent.

In essence, the Forness Continent was now under the complete control of the Magi Invader Force. The force field was so powerful that even if the entire force of the Heavenly race inside the Beta Heavenly World were to attempt to take back the control of the continent, even if they were willing to die for it, they would still lose.

There was one downside, however, in the fact that the force field now covered the entire Fornes Continent. The magic towers generated such a suction over the natural energy of the world that trying to improve your own energy pool with what was left became impractical. This affected mostly Rank 0, 1, and 2 life forms. Those at Rank 3 had long gone stop depending on the natural energy of the world to increase their power.

The Soul Forging leaders did not care about the inconvenience that the force field could provoke on the weaker life forms. Their current goal was to harvest as many resources as they could, and populating this world was not something they were focusing on.

The Rank 4 Magi were happily chatting among themselves, but there was one who did not join them.

Totto gazed at the celebration. Although he was happy about achieving the task given to him, he knew that things were not so simple. Unlike the rest, he understood very well that the true enemy that they are facing inside this world is not the Heavenly race, and the force field of the Ten Tower Formation could not stop him.

The Lich turned to the side as he noticed a group flying in his direction. They were the Fallen, and Nero was leading them.

He was not the only one to notice this group. The Rank 4 Magi no longer laughed and adopted a serious expression as they analyzed the Fallen before approaching Totto's side.

The eyes of the seven winged Fallen narrowed when he noticed their attitude. Nero could predict the thought that passed for the minds of some of them, and he merely sneered before focusing on Totto.

"We have fulfilled our part of the deal. I want to use the World Gate now."

Silence reigned after Nero spoke those words. The Fallen were a powerful force, and the assistance they brought against the Heavenly race was immense. Now that Heinz could no longer enter the Beta Heavenly World, the Magi did not see how they could expand their domains to other continents without them.

Some of the Rank 4 Magi have communicated to Totto their desires to make changes to the original agreement they had with the Fallen. Instead of allowing all of them to leave, they could permit one or two Rank 4 Fallen to use the World Gate as a reward for their help, and the rest could follow them once their control over the Beta Heavenly World was more secure.

Of course, that would affect the relationship between the two sides and could incite conflicts. But the Magi had control over the force field, and they could easily suppress the Fallen with it.

From the Rank 4 Magi group, a man with a muscular body and silver eyes walked forward. There was a ferocious aura around him. Thick chains were coming out from his back and formed something similar to a cape.

Totto stared at this person, and a peculiar light appeared on his eyes. The man's name was Uluizer and was a Bloodline Magus. Despite having the King bloodline of a Two-Headed Inferno Wolf, the purity of his bloodline was shallow, so he had been stuck at the Peak of Rank 4 for hundreds of years, and his battle power had never been extraordinary.

However, not too long ago, Uluizer's bloodline obtained a significant upgrade, as did his strength. He kept a low profile at the beginning, but once Heinz advanced to Rank 5, he started to take a more active role. He even formed a small group with the other two Magi who followed the bloodline path as well.

Uluizer's behavior had become more domineering as his power increased, and it was not rare for him to question Totto's role as the leader of the Magi Invader Force in the last few weeks. The Lich had known Uluizer for a long time, and the change in his attitude arose some questions on his mind.

Heinz had made sure all those who were part of the Magi Invader Force were not connected to troublesome individuals, when he invited them. But a lot of time had passed, and things could have easily changed.

"Leader of the Fallen, Nero, you will have to excuse us, but we need to discuss some matter regarding our alliance." Uluizer had a respectful expression on his face, but his voice carried a condescending tone.

Anger appeared on Nero's face. Despite being under the force field of the Ten Tower Formation, there wasn't the slightest sign of concern as he faced the Magi, but before he could act, Totto spoke.

"There is nothing to discuss. Our deal was that once the Fornes Continent was ours, you could use the World Gate and leave for the Magi World. The continent is ours, so you can use the World Gate whenever you want." Totto's voice was calm, and he made his stance clear.

Nero and the rest of the Fallen smiled when they heard those words, but the reaction of the Magi, especially Uluizer's group, was different.

"Totto, you should not be speaking so lightly about a subject that concerns all of us." Uluizer's face displayed great anger, but internally he was smiling.

Even though it appeared as if he was taking the lead of the seven Rank 4 Magi, Uluizer knew that the only ones who were really on his side were the Bloodline Magi. The rest adopted a wait and see attitude, so by highlighting Totto's disregard for their opinions, Uluizer wanted to form a unified front against him.

Totto sneered when he heard Uluizer's words. The Lich did not bother with the Bloodline Magi and focused on the rest before speaking.

"Our agreement was made a long time ago. If any of you had a problem with it, you should have spoken then. Who would ever want to work with people who did not respect their word when they make a deal with an ally?."

Uluizer's eyes narrowed as he noticed how the rest of the Magi noded to Totto's words. None of them cared about honor, but every Rank 4 life form cared about their reputation.

"The first meeting with the Fallen was handled entirely by that man. He spoke for all of us when he made that deal, and he did not have the authority to do that. You, Zitra, and Heinz followed his plan without considering our point of view. Despite all of his mistakes and the fact he got himself captured, we still have to give his clan the same amount of resources we obtain."

Uluizer had always felt annoyed by the control Zatiel had over the Magi Invader Force. He was one of the ones who opposed the most the Neo-Demon obtaining a position in the council since he considered him inferior due to him not being a Rank 4 life form. The fact he guided them through every part of the war and was a great genius who would have definitely awoken his True Soul was something he had chosen to ignore.

Totto's eyes narrowed when he heard Uluizer targeting Zatiel. Without giving any warning, the Lich raised his hand and fired a grey beam of energy to the Bloodline Magus.

Uluizer was surprised by the action of the Lich. He was only able to make a mantle silver fire surround his body before being hit by that grey beam. He was pushed more than one hundred meters before being able to gain back control over his body.

"You dare!" Uluizer was enraged. The chains on his back enlarged and their ends aimed at the Lich.

Totto stared at Uluizer, and he showed nothing on his face, but the energy on his body was ready to act.

The rest of the Magi immediately moved away from them, and even the duo who accompanied Uluizer was not different.

Uluizer stared at Totto for a long time, but in the end, the energy on his body calmed down, and he flew away. The two Bloodline Magi followed him, while the other four Magi remained together and chose to join no side.

After seeing Uluizer leave, Totto turned to the seven winged Fallen, who was looking at him. The Lich noticed the meaning in Nero's eyes, but he shook his head.

Totto had already asked whether or not he should get rid of the three Bloodline Magi, but the message he received told him that there was no need for him to act.

'A few more days and everything will be over.'
