Another fight between the forces of the Darkness Poison Duke and Duke Krior took place very deep within the Yuru continent, but this one was different from the others. A solemn and gloomy aura covered the battlefield, affecting even the Devil Marquises.
The Rank 5 Devil Lords were in a state of constant alert, and the Rank 4 Devils made sure to stay at the edge of the battlefield. Dread filled the hearts of the last ones since they knew death could come at any time.
While they are unaware of the movements of their leaders, they knew that it was a matter of time until both Dukes entered the battlefield.
Rank 6 life forms with a Law Domain can release attacks capable of shattering a continent. The collateral damage two Devil Dukes provoke during a fight is more than powerful enough to kill Rank 4 life forms.
Devil Counts can resist the collateral damage if they keep their distance, and Devil Marquises can even withstand a direct attack of a Devil Duke.
The thing that bothers these Devils Lords is that the losers will have to sign a very confining contract with the winner. As for being killed, no Devil Duke would waste such a helpful fighting force.
The Skull Dragon and Infernal Rage Titan fought in the center of the highest battlefield present. They displayed terrific battle prowess, showing the others why they are considered Peak Marquises.
Suddenly, the eyes of both Devil Marquises widened, and they put some distance between each other before looking behind them.
The Infernal Rage Titan saw how a winged man with black armor and a bone sword flew in his direction. He carried an aura full of death that grew stronger by the second.
As for the Skull Dragon, he witnessed a towering devil carrying an ax overflowed with the withering power of time that grew denser and denser.
Neither Zatiel nor Eon Six activated their Law Avatars, but their power reached the Peak Marquess' level without them.
The Skull Dragon and Infernal Rage Titan saw how the duo headed for the center of the battlefield, the position they were occupying. Although it was humiliating, neither dared to remain there and moved away.
A second after that, a flaming bone sword flooded with Death Essence collided with an ax carrying Time Essence and immense physical might.
"BOOM!"
A blast of blue and dark energy occurred when both weapons clashed and generated a wave that extended all over the battlefield.
A 1st Engraving Stage Devil Count was too slow and got caught in the wave.
The rest of the Devil Lords saw horrified how half of the Devil Count's body rotted while the other ended up mummified. He fell from the sky, and it appeared even his True Soul was affected.
The Skull Dragon and the Infernal Rage Titan could not believe what they saw.
For Rank 5 life forms, enhancing their strength every couple of decades was impressive, but they saw the duo a little more than two years ago, and their battle power grew immensely.
Eon Six and Zatiel completely disregarded the rest of the devils and focused solely on their battle. They flew through the battlefield, often coming closer to other fights, forcing the Devil Lords to move away.
The Supernova Race man's physical strength greatly surpassed that of the Neo-Demon, but this one used his superior martial skills to hold on.
Although they worked together, the duo had to keep their cover, or else the plan would fail.
While they both showed extraordinary battle prowess and killing skills, they barely used any energy at all, and whenever a deadly attack was about to land, the other would always find a way to dodge it.
Of course, the occasional wound appeared in their bodies, but they were shallow and in no way affected their battle power.
As they pretended to fight and occasionally pierced the defenses of the other, Zatiel used the A.I. Chip's scanning power in Eon Six.
The Neo-Demon did not doubt the Supernova Race man's intentions. The truth was that Eon Six was too young and inexperienced to be able to trick Zatiel, so there was no danger of betrayal in their partnership.
Zatiel scanned the man purely for scientific curiosity. After all, the Supernova Race was a mystery for him.
He did the scan secretly, making sure Eon Six would not notice it, so the process was a little slow. As he waited for the A.I. Chip to finish the task, he used the Rebirth Eye to inspect the Supernova Race man.
The Rebirth Eye showed Zatiel how Eon Six's marrow and blood had miniature runes fused in them, meaning he had reached the 4th Engraving Stage.
However, the advance in one Engraving Stage could not explain the increase in physical might Zatiel detected, so he speculated Eon Six also improved his Fiend Sun Heart Path Technique.
'If my calculations are correct, the Fiend Sun Heart Path Technique must have two levels for each Rank. When I inspected the artifact heart, I saw three phantoms, so Eon Six must have reached the Peak of the third level during this couple of months.' Zatiel could not help but praise the person who created that Path Technique.
Eon Six wanted to use a Duke's heart, bloodline, and soul as the materials to advance to the fourth level. However, that level should equal the upper half of Rank 5, so the Fiend Sun Heart Path Technique's potential and capabilities are indeed impressive.
After a little more than ten minutes, the A.I. Chip finished secretly scanning Eon Six and displayed the information in the Neo-Demon's mind.
"Target scan successful...
Name: Eon Six
Race: Supernova (Unlimited Sun Clan)
Paths of Power: True Soul (4th Engraving Stage)/ Fiend Sun Heart (3rd level- Lower Half Rank 5)
Strength: 14.9
Physique:13.7
Speed: 9.1
Energy Pool (Consciousness): 9.7
Energy Pool (Body): 9.5
Soul Origin: 9.9
Laws: Law of Time, Law of Space, Law of Physical Potential.
Note: The Fiend Sun Heart Path Technique allowed the target to have a second energy pool connected to his body that seems to hold a form of energy similar to Hell Aura but purer and denser."
That was not the only information the A.I. Chip collected from Eon Six. It also recorded the physiology and cellular structure of the Supernova Race man.
Zatiel made sure to save all the information in the A.I. Chip's database before focusing on Eon Six's stats.
The Neo-Demon was impressed by Eon Six's physique and strength, especially since he had yet to reach the fourth level of the Fiend Sun Heart Path Technique or formed his Sacred Body of Laws.
He already expected to see the Law of Time and the Law of Space in Eon Six due to his bloodline, but the Law of Physical Potential surprised him.
It was an inferior version of Ezequiel's Law of Inner Force, but that did not mean it was a weak law. The Law of Physical Potential allowed the user to draw the full potential of his body.
If laws were ranked, the Law of Physical Potential would be above the Law of Blood and slightly inferior to the Law of Life.
'No wonder his body is so powerful. Not only does he have that Path Technique, but there is also the Law of Physical Potential assisting him.'
If it weren't for his martial skills and speed being higher, Eon Six would completely overwhelm Zatiel in a physical contest.
Eon Six and Zatiel had just clashed against each other when their eyes widened, and they looked at the sky with a solemn expression.
Every devil saw how a fired crimson sun and a black sun with a grey halo appeared in the sky the next second.
Everybody understood what the arrival of these celestial bodies meant.
The Devil Dukes entered the battlefield!
