God´s Eyes

Initially, Dalia and Shane wanted to leave Astrix as soon as possible, but both agreed that it was important to finish Scoprio's evolution first in order to look if something went wrong, which might temporary or even permanent damage either Scorpio or in the worst case Jason's soul world

As such, Dalia finished everything cleanly, after collecting the valuable equipment within their hideout.

Looking at Jason who curiously inspected Scorpio's new evolution, with Artemis circling around them, she couldn't help but feel a little bit sad, as she cleared her throat to announce.

"Congratulation on Scorpio's evolution to a Radiant Sapphire Scorpion!"

Hearing Dalia congratulating him, Jason looked up, only to see her somewhat sad expression, which caused him to understand the situation almost immediately.

Standing up, he hesitantly asked "It's time for the two of you to depart, right?" which she answered with a simple nod.

"Initially we wanted to depart earlier, but we thought that completing Scoprio's evolution was equally important, and now it's already Sunday morning.

We should depart now as Old Drake's reinforcement should arrive soon"

Jason could only nod, without trying to cover his sadness, as he gave her a firm hug, to which she responded by hugging him too.

In the end, Shane and Dalia were both important to him, and they taught and gifted him a lot, allowing him to become stronger at an extremely fast pace.

Furthermore, the two of them were extremely nice to him, without trying to exploit his ability by forcing him to sign a soul contract or something like that as they genuinely tried to strengthen him, even if they had their own reason to do so.

Making him mankind's pillar to unite them was their initial plan, but neither Shane nor Dalia could have ever imagined that they would be so attached to Jason, in such a short period at that.

As such, parting ways was not that easy, but there was not much the three of them could do, as Dalia led Jason outside the hideout through a secret path so that he didn't have to swim against the water current.

Jason's soulbonds were both already back inside his soul world and he continued to test his strength, only for him to notice that his current physique was already on par with Vanguard's main school without him having to utilize his fortified soul conjunction at all.

Smiling brightly, Jason felt extremely satisfied with the achievements over the last 6 months and it felt like his journey had just begun.

Leaving the secret path, Dalia stayed behind, waving him, while Jason felt melancholic because he was able to reach his current height not only due to his own strength but also thanks to Till, and his two masters Shane and Dalia.

Without them, he would never have obtained his black origin flame and even less the fortune to increase Scorpio's potential.

Scorpio would most likely still be at the lower awakened stage, with Jason searching for treasures that allowed humans and beasts to cleanse their mana cores from impurities.

Both Scorpio and Artemis had now complete mana cores which meant that they were officially able to enter the magical rank and Jason couldn't be more satisfied with this result, as he utilized his weightless steps movement technique in order to figure out how fast he currently was.

Without having to use Artemis to reach a physique at the 1st Expert rank, Jason was forced to slowly adjust to the strength he obtained, while smiling brightly on his way through the destroyed city.

It was Sunday, early in the morning, but he could still see many people removing the rubble all over the city, while some smaller building complexes seemed to be under repair.

The government seemed to work faster than Jason initially expected and if they continued to work at this pace, without wasting too much time, he wondered how long it would take to completely repair and reconstruct Cyro-City.

'Probably before the Big-Three tournament will begin, huh?... Wait?! Will the big-three tournament even happen?' Wondering about this, Jason began to doubt that the government will do anything to stop the Big-three tournament from taking place.

In the end, it would differ the attention from the recent accidents within Cyro-City towards the younger generations tournament, which was definitely something the government would support.

As such, Jason didn't think too much about it, until he arrived at the Fler's small house slightly less than 90 minutes later.

It was still early and he doubted that any of the Fler's would be awake, as he entered the house, only to see that everyone was awake, eating or reading something.

Seeing Jason, they greeted him heartily, to which he responded with a bright smile, as he asked everyone why they were already awake because it was not common for all of them to be together at such early hours.

But hearing that the recent incidents caused the Fler's to work harder in order to strengthen themselves, because they didn't want to rely too much on the government and others, astonished him, even if he acknowledged their thoughts.

Previously, Gabriella and Mark were rather lazy with their mana absorption, but apparently, that would change now, as Greg rushed towards him impatiently.

"Jason!! Is the mysterious Beast-Creator still there? If that's the case, how long?? It will take some time to procure all ingredients for Taurus evolution because they're extremely expensive.

However, the Beast-Creator you know is the only one that might be able to help me in the next few months….The secretary from Astrix's Beast-Creator declined our issue.."

Greg was visibly desperate and frustrated, which was understandable, because his soulbond had high potential, yet it was useless if the reinforced horned bull's bloodline remained sealed!

Listening to what Greg said, he smiled lightly, thinking 'The mysterious Beast-Creator is probably already far away, but I'm still there!!'

Clearing his thought, Jason thought for a moment what to answer before he simply said.

"According to what the mysterious Beast-Creator said, he will remain on Astrix, until the Big-Three tournament finishes, at least if it takes place...I don't know more than that....but can you even gather the ingredients until then?"

In the end, he could only create the evolution- or rather unsealing solution for Taurus, as long as he was on Astrix because it would be relatively difficult for him to make the solution and send it over a long distance.

This was solely the case because such solutions would go bad extremely fast, with them losing more of their magical effect with each day passing.

Hearing that there were at most two months left in order to accumulate enough wealth and procure the required ingredients, the expression of all Fler's soured immediately.

If everything went well, they could accumulate enough wealth at this time, but purchasing all items in this period would take at least another month, which was too long.

Noticing their sour mood, Jason pondered for a moment, before he looked at Greg seriously, saying

"If you need funds, I can give you enough to purchase the required ingredients"

Hearing this, Greg and the others furrowed their brows, wondering where Jason would get so many star-notes from.

Only Malia's expression didn't change, because she roughly understood that Jason shouldn't be as poor as he was six months ago when they first meet, because he wore extremely expensive equipment when they entered the four-star rift.

Noticing Greg and the Fler parents' suspicion, he used the same excuse as before once again.

"I accepted the Beast-Creator as my master and he gave me some pocket money...It should be more than enough to purchase all ingredients for the evolution solution!"

Smiling brightly, everyone looked at him weirdly, wondering what exactly was going on in Jason's head, as Greg sighed deeply, asking him uncertainty and hesitantly.

"Is it really fine with you to lend me so many star-notes?"

Jason didn't say anything and only nodded his head, while he maintained his bright smile, causing Greg to smile lightly, as he thanked him.
