"Please, follow me." Dean ignored the geniuses and flew ahead with Gabriel and the Neo-Demons.
Neither Zatiel nor Ezequiel cared about the opinion of people they had never met and whose identities they could not even bother to remember. Nevertheless, it would be a lie to say they were not curious about the reason behind Dean's fame.
"Brother is famous within the Dark Tower Alliance. He established a Tier 2 Stronghold within the Earth Ring and gained the title of Sun Slayer after completing the 3rd Level of the Eldritch Slayer Tower."
None of the terms Gabriel mentioned were foreign for the Neo-Demon. They were all detailed within the Dark Tower's tattoo's information.
The stronghold tiers within the Earth Ring are a way to determine their power.
Tier 1 is the strongest, and the leader is usually a Soul Law Domain existence whose strength reached Rank 7. They contain or are near sources of valuable cultivation materials.
Usually, Tier 1 Strongholds are surrounded by those at Tier 2 and 3. The first can stand their ground alone, unlike the latter that needed constant help and protection.
While it was impressive that Dean created a Tier 2 Stronghold despite his young age and cultivation, what called the Neo-Demons' attention was the Sun Slayer's title.
Since all the Dark Tower Alliance members are geniuses whose battle power is higher than their cultivation, the Primarchs decided to make a testing ground to fight Eldritch Phantoms and prove their true strength.
That is how the Eldritch Slayer Tower came to be. The 1st Level contained an Eldritch Phantom at the Peak Hollow Sun Domain Stage, the second one at the Peak Primary Hollow Sun Domain Stage, and so on.
Primarchs modified the laws inside the Eldritch Slayer Tower so any damage taken inside would be reverted once you leave, allowing geniuses to employ suicide methods they would only use in life and death battles.
Once any member of the Dark Tower Alliance reached Rank 6, they would immediately enter the Eldritch Slayer Tower to obtain a Slayer Title.
Star Slayers can kill Eldritch Phantoms at the Peak Hollow Sun Domain Stage right after reaching Rank 6. Most of the geniuses in the Dark Tower Alliance enter this category. Those who are not able to obtain this title are considered burdens within the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
Moon Slayers can finish the 2nd Level of the Eldritch Slayer Tower. Around five percent of the geniuses can obtain that title. Their talent and potential would allow them to reach Rank 7 without a problem.
Sun Slayer is the highest title. To obtain it, you must be a life form at the Early Hollow Sun Domain Stage and kill an Eldritch Phantom at the Peak Supernova Domain Stage.
Both Zatiel and Ezequiel could unleash battle powers at the Peak Hollow Sun Domain Stage thanks to their bloodlines, Omega Laws, and Animax Soul Runes. But to cross into the Primary Sun Domain Stage, they had to use the help of their unique partners, and even then, they had a hard time remaining at that level.
The higher the cultivation, the harder it was to jump levels in battle power.
Anyone capable of killing a Peak Rank 6 life form with a cultivation at the bottom of Rank 6 carried a destiny that had a slight chance of surpassing the Prima Universe's laws.
Less than 0,1% of all the members that have entered the Dark Tower Alliance in the millions of years of its existence have obtained the Sun Slayer's title.
"Impressive." Zatiel found the Crown Prince's strength worthy of praise.
If he could kill a Peak Supernova Domain Stage Eldritch Phantom, it meant that his battle power reached Half Step Rank 7 the moment he became Rank 6 life form.
While inferior to his and Ezequiel's, Dean's talent equaled that of the Sky Breakers. If the Neo-Demon was not wrong, it was higher than that of John Erick.
Of course, a talent capable of achieving Beyond the Shackles' cultivation could not amaze Zatiel. What truly drew his respect was Dean's temperament.
Despite his strength and potential, the Neo-Demon felt an insatiable thirst inside the Crown Prince. No matter how high his talent and destiny became, Dean Rebellion always strived for more.
'If his background weren't so complicated, I would be tempted to make him a Neo-Demon. It will not be too late in a few more years. Let's wait and see.'
The group flew toward some monumental buildings with powerful rune formations and magic matrices carved in their walls that increased the density of Origin Power to the point it almost reached a liquid state.
In a High World, this type of structure would generate great wars, but inside the Dark Tower, they were simple residences that anyone could use.
Zatiel and the others were about to reach the dwellings when suddenly, Ezequiel stopped his advance and turned to the distance while a wisp of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
Dean, Gabriel, and Zatiel frowned when they noticed a group approaching them and felt animosity in their auras.
They were five, three men and two women, all with a thriving life force and immense physical power. The way their soul force penetrated their flesh and their bloodline power depicted them as members of the Titan Race.
The men were five meters tall, while the women were four. Titans usually have gargantuan bodies, but unless they are in a fight, they keep it hidden. Not to mention most pure-blooded Titans have a compression talent, allowing them to increase their might while shrinking their bodies.
"Tksar, what do you want?" Dean adopted an overbearing attitude when the Titans appeared in front of them. It was clear that they wanted trouble, so he found no reason to be kind.
A handsome young man with silver hair, impressive musculature, and a red tattoo covering his forehead frowned after hearing the Crown Prince's words.
The silver-haired youth led the Titan group, and his aura was prideful and aloof, but his attitude became calmer when he witnessed Dean's domineering stance.
'His name is Tksar Onmel. A Moon Slayer and Dawn Titan. His cultivation is higher than my brother's, so their battle power is similar.' The Neo-Demons heard Gabriel's voice and got a better picture of the man leading the Titan group.
Despite feeling annoyed by how Dean spoke to him, Tksar did not lose his composure and gave a slight bow to the Crown Prince before focusing on Ezequiel. The Dawn Titan did not even bother to glance at Zatiel and Gabriel.
"Magus, why do I felt my race Law Bloodline's inside you." Tksar's voice was cold, and he did not bother to hide his killing intent.
Zatiel's eye narrowed when he heard Tksar's words. Neither he nor Ezequiel bothered to hide their bloodline power, but that did not mean they revealed their nature.
Most people would only recognize them as bloodline users, but that is all. Unfortunately, the Dawn Titan's bloodline must have resonated with Ezequiel's.
Of course, Tksar had things backward. He thought Ezequiel had a weaker version of his bloodline when the truth was that his Dawn Titan Bloodline was an inferior version of the Supreme Neo-Demon's Primordial Bloodline.
Ezequiel returned the Dawn Titan's cold and killing stare while remaining silent. He felt no need to explain himself to the man.
In Tksar's mind, Ezequiel was a thief that must have used underhanded methods to obtain his race's bloodline, so when this one ignored his words, the Dawn Titan's heart bursted with rage.
