Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Ezequiel has spent every day after ensuring Numir and her little brother's safety, hunting down, and fighting against warriors of the Heavenly race.

The most powerful the enemies were and the more dangerous the battle became, the better it was for him. Not only his attunement with the natural energy of the world was increasing at frightening speed, but he also felt how his Primordial bloodline was excavating the hidden power inside his body and amplifying it every time he was able to break his limits during a battle.

Of course, he wasn't reckless and always fought at a relatively close distance from the force field of the Ten Tower Formation so he could use his Mirage rune in the worst-case scenario. A fight against a Rank 4 life form will not be of any use to him, due to the immense disparity in power.

This type of training was dangerous, and if it wasn't for his great defensive abilities and regeneration he could not have done it for such a long time. Right now, with the help of his runic set, he can display the power of a Master Rank 3 life form with an Emperor bloodline but more than once he was forced to flee due to numerical disadvantage.

The squad with which he was currently fighting has been tracking him for days and they were able to ambush him.

A white fog, that was able to cloud his senses, had surrounded Ezequiel before he could do anything about it. From four different locations, powerful attacks made of water, earth, fire, and air assault him.

The two fastest attacks were long-range spells and they were an extremely thin blade of air and jets of high-pressure water.

As for the other two, one Angelic Paragon had his arms covered with rocks as he attempted to hit Ezequiel on his spine and the other was throwing a blazing kick to his face.

This tactic was very effective and the five warriors of the Heavenly race had used it in a great number of killing assignments, but unfortunately for them, the underestimated the instincts of a Neo-Demon with a Law bloodline.

Ezequiel could barely see the direction the attacks were coming and they were to closing in very fast, so at that moment his only choice was to activate his Mirage rune otherwise his life will be in danger.

But the Supreme of the Neo-Demon race chose another path and using every single drop of power he had on his body, he displays dexterity and speed beyond what he thought he was capable.

He moves his body so the blade of air and the jets of water would not hit vital organs before covering himself with his red lightning that was potentiated by his runic set.

A cut, so deep that you could see the bone, appeared on his left shoulder. The bones and muscles on his left leg ended damaged.

As for the two Angels of Supremacy that were stupid enough to get close to him, he made other arrangements. He responded with the most devastating counterattack he could create.

Ezequiel dodges the kick to his head and at the same time, he redirects fifty percent of his red lightning to his right arm and the other fifty to his right leg and he attacks.

A punch filled with red lightning was fired against the Angel of Supremacy in front of him and a back kick was sent to the one behind.

The Angels of Supremacy could not believe what they were seeing. Their attacks had taken less than a second and yet the man in front of them not only manage to considerably diminish the damage done by two of them, he was also able to counterattack the other two even after his senses were weakened by the fog.

Ezequiel couldn't care less what they thought, especially since as he attacks, something ignited in him that made an immense amount of natural energy draw into his body.

The strength of his punch and kick raises tremendously. Since he could not accurately target his opponents due to the fog, he sends his attacks to the stomach of both,

A rune appeared on the body of both Angels of Supremacy creating a force field that diminished the damage but still, their intestines were destroyed and the impact sends them flying away.

The kill squad of the Heavenly race was shocked. They failed to kill their enemy and two of them end up his severy injuries and what happens next froze their minds.

They saw how the natural energy around them was being sucked into their target's body with ferocious strength.

During that attack, something inside Ezequiel changed and the Neo-Demon was able to see what was happening to his body.

He could see his cells, the billions of fundamental anatomical units that form his body, changing.

Every time a life form advance in Rank, several changes are done to his cells, with the most important changes happening in Rank 1, 4, and 7.

However, the Law of Inner Force was acting on the cells of Ezequiel, modifying some of its components and adding others, and the truly fundamental change was done to the mitochondria, the source of energy for the cell.

In a normal human, when water enters the mitochondria, its molecules will be broken into an ionic state where the hydrogen atoms will fuse with different elements. During this process, the body obtains most of the amino acids which it requires to live and energy generated by the fusion reaction.

As one advances in the Ranks, this process changes and one could see in powerful life form, that their mitochondria can even simulate cold fusion, which is a nuclear reaction that generates energy more potent than the one released by a hydrogen bomb explosion.

The existence of this type of mitochondria is the reason why powerful life forms do not need to eat or even breathe.

But the change in Ezequiel that was driven by the Law of Inner Force was different. It was giving his mitochondria the ability to use the natural energy of the world directly to strengthen the cells and also work as a form of energy pool.

Unlike before when he could momentarily draw the natural energy of the world to his body during his attacks, now every single one of his cells will be constantly absorbing the natural energy of the world.

This alteration in the mitochondria was also producing a change in his cellular structure, which make his body grew stronger and bigger.

The immense amount of energy that was accumulating inside him triggered Ezequiel's advancement to Rank 3.

There was a smile on the Neo-Demon's face as he feels the power that was running through his body.

As for the kill squad of the Heavenly race, their expressions could not uglier. Not only their opponent was getting stronger but due to the current behavior of the natural energy, they could not draw it into their attacks, making their offensive might weaken greatly.

Ezequiel looks at the direction from where the attacks of air and water came and without hesitation, he kicks the air, creating a sonic boom, as his body was fired against his enemies.

When the members of the Heavenly Race saw this, they acted immediately. The leader who was an Angelic Paragon with wings made of fog attempted to restrain Ezequiel's movement but he was moving too fast and without hesitation, he and the two Angels of Supremacy move away from him.

They did not intend to follow the step of their comrades and start to send long-range attacks, while they made sure to maintain their distance.

Just as his charge ended, Ezequiel was received by spells from all sides. The worst part was that he was constantly being affected by the fog making it harder to accurately locate his enemies.

Despite that, Ezequiel's smile did not diminish and he just focused on the spells and triangulate their origins, before charging to the Angels of Supremacy, distracting them not allowing them to truly display their power.

A minute later, spells of fire and earth were also launched against Ezequiel. Both Angels of Supremacy were hurt but by suppressing their wounds they were still able to fight.

Injuries were accumulating on Ezequiel's growing body, but thanks to his increasing power and the fact that the squad could not display their entire strength, it was not a true threat to him.

The Angelic Paragon saw everything that was happening, and although he hated the notion, he knew that if his target was able to achieve his advance to Rank 3 and finish his transformation, their chances of killing him will be null, especially since two of them could barely fight.

There was hate on his eyes as he increases the power of the fog obstructing Ezequiel, before ordering the Angels of Supremacy.

"Proceed to perform the Oblivion Elemental Blast."

When the Angels of Supremacy hear that command their eyes widened, but in the next second determination filled their faces and they gather together.

The energy of the four begins to collect into a multicolored ball over their heads.

Ezequiel could not see them, and without their attacks, he could not trace them. But he felt how a dangerous amount of energy was gathering close to him.

Instead of running like crazy around the fog without a direction, he explodes with power and a beam of red lightning raises into the sky as he prepares to fight back.
