God´s Eyes

Jason was only at the 6th Novice rank.

As such two stages meant he would have to defeat low-awakened beasts as his assignment which made him somewhat happy.

It was not because Jason was confident in defeating them in a head-on fight, or even while assassinating.

Rather it was because low-awakened beasts were all over the two-star zones around Cyro-city and there was almost no end to their sheer number.

Two hours passed and a drone arrived in front of the school gates with a parcel below it and Jason accepted it with his signature.

Afterward, he called a shuttle, and only 90 minutes later, Jason stood in front of the dome's border, wearing his grade-2 garment, the mechanical knife holder on the back, his bow in one hand, the quiver around him, and a belt with three yellow-green regents within them.

Inside his parcel, he ordered previously, were two different kinds of items that used up most of his remaining savings.

A dozen arrows with a small hole in the arrowhead and small capsules beside them, fitting inside perfectly.

These capsules could be sealed with mana for a certain period of time before the seal would be released.

The price for these arrows with the specially manufactured capsules beside were already expensive with a price of 150.000 Credits because the capsules were made out of a rare kind of dissolving material when injected with mana.

However, the most expensive purchase were the three reagents hanging on his belt.

The three reagents that were priced are around 120.000 Credits each.

Inside these reagents was some kind of enhanced and extracted venom from various types of plant and beasts.

It could almost instantly kill all kinds of wild-ranked beasts and would only need around 20 seconds to traverse through the body of an awakened beast.

Even late-awakened beasts would be easily killed and it was said that this kind of potion could also kill evolved ranked beasts with enough time passing, as long as they entered their blood circulation.

But the forte of this potion was its paralyzing effect rather than its lethal venom.

Every beast at and below the low-unblemished rank wouldn´t be able to control its body, not feeling anything at all.

All kinds of senses would be disrupted and there was not a single thing one could do, once paralyzed.

This numbness would stay for five minutes for low-evolved ranked beasts and would kill all beasts below this rank easily while mid-evolved beasts had a small chance to survive the paralyzation with their high life force only to die at the lethal poison.

Right now, Jason was calmly filling the dissolving capsules with the reagents.

After having filled 12 of them, all of his reagents were used up with 360.000 credits vanishing into thin air.

Sealing them with his mana would use up some of his stored mana but it was fine, as he placed the sealed capsules inside the arrowheads.

After the capsules were safely packed into the arrowheads, Jason stored them inside his quiver with a mana stone on the bottom of the quiver in order to supply the capsules with mana to prevent any kinds of accidents.

With 12 arrows, Jason knew that he was only allowed to miss two shots, which was somewhat thrilling.

However, during the last two weeks, his archery skills improved quite a lot, even on moving targets thanks to his arduous training and effort.

His Aunty gave him a membership card to the archery hall nearby and there were many kinds of unmoving and moving targets with certain missions to solve.

It was like a game and the first level was easy with a single target, he had to hit within a range of 30 meters.

While Jason continued playing through the `game`, the missions were getting more difficult with each level.

It was only when he failed to hit fast-moving targets, that Jason had to stop to read the foundational archery guide with all kinds of information written inside.

Furthermore, with the membership card he got, Jason could also ask the instructors working there for tips and they helped him to fix his flaws by telling him what he made wrong with small but efficient instructions.

This caused Jason´s archery to reach a better mastery and somehow, he had already reached the

Advanced-Adept levels with illusional beast targets with their speed almost comparable to evolved ranked beasts.

In the end, it was only because of his exceptional eyesight, which made everything possible.

The strength of his bow was way too weak to kill or even penetrate the hide of evolved ranked beasts and Jason wouldn't be able to pull stronger bows with his strength for now.

This meant, he was stuck at the Advanced-Adept level for good without being able to advance further.

Hitting awakened ranked beasts with his archery skill shouldn´t be a problem and Jason was confident in receiving a premium reward.

After Jason finished his preparations, he walked confidently through the dome, where he was instantly invaded by an overwhelming amount of mana.

Jason knew this would happen because it was always like that when he left the dome but the sheer amount of mana almost forced him onto his knees.

He underestimated the density and quality of mana that invaded him.

It was extremely uncomfortable for him to be enveloped by the vigorous mana, as he forced himself to walk further away from the dome.

Right now, Jason felt that the amount of mana was even thicker compared to the stone arch with the magical plants around, which shocked him.

If Jason had such vast mana around him all the time, he would probably be already at the Adept rank.

This caused him to feel a distinct desire to sit down and absorb the mana around him.

However, Jason reminded himself that it was way too dangerous to do something like that within a two-star wild zone.

One would only do something like that with comrades or guards around that would rescue the focused cultivator in order to prevent any issues.

Jason saw many youths absorbing mana outside the dome, but almost all of them were protected by an expert or master-ranked bodyguards.

If he had enough credits, he would probably do the same, as the amount of mana was extremely thick, and hiring a bodyguard to protect him might even be cheaper than high-graded mana stones.

Thinking about this possibility, Jason smiled weirdly, as he continued his steps towards the two-star zone.

Holding the bow in one hand with an arrow already nocked, Jason immediately disregarded his thought and began to focus on his mission.

The arrow was already supplied with Jason´s mana all the time and his eyes perceived everything.
