Unrivaled Under The Heaven

Moving from one side to another as he avoid the attack before he was finally able to get close to the halberd. Pulling it out of the ground as he turned to face the beast with the halberd being swing at it and moving back to create distance between them.

"What is taking them so long to launch the so-called attack they said they are going to" said Jason as he spare a glance at them.

"Since they say they are going to attack with their best move, it is going to take a while before they will do that, so just continue to fake been slow while they gather enough energy for the attack" replied the bracelet.

"Well I don't have issues faking being slow since you are the one doing the whole work" said Jason.

"You are just being an ungrateful kid" replied the bracelet with a chuckle.

Avoiding the beast's sneaky attack was not a burden to Jason, unlike Adam who will struggle to avoid getting slashed all thanks to the bracelet but there was a time that Jason failed to react on time and the beast claw made a deep cut in his shoulder before boring into the ground.

"Hey kid, are you okay" asked the bracelet worriedly.

"Yeah, I am fine. How can it class be this sharp" replied Jason as he grit his teeth together as he tries to endure the pain and at the same time bead of sweat could be seen falling from his head.

"Well you see the way it was able to get underground easily so there is no need for me to say more and you are lucky that you have temper your body else it wouldn't have been a deep wound but your death" said the bracelet.

"Please enough with the death stuff alright" replied Jason as he pulled back from the spot he was standing.

Just as he retreated, the beast came out of the ground like a drill as it swiped into the air while leaving the ground. Seeing this as an opportunity, Jason quickly pushed forward with the halberd raised high as he was ready to deliver a powerful attack but before he could really swing at the beast, the energy in the area became intense as different energy attacks begin to head towards the beast and Jason was left with no other choice than to withdraw since he doesn't want to be hit by the attack.

After pulling back, Jason quickly tore a part of his robe as he tied the spot where he was injured to stop the bleeding. Looking at Jason who has a frown on his face as he covered his wound, Steven couldn't help but let out a chuckle before continuing his attack. 

"I can see that you did great holding your ground against the beast for this long" said Adam who was closer to him.

"Do I look like someone who is doing fine" asked Jason With a frown on his face.

"Relax man, apart from the scratch you sustain, you did perfectly well holding the beast down while we gather enough energy to deal with it once and for all" replied Adam with a smile on his face before focusing his attention on the beast.

"Since I am the one who contributed the most, I will be taking it core" said Jason in a deep voice. 

"We will take about that after we have dealt with it" replied Adam.

"Okay then I will leave that up to you guys since I need to recuperate my energy" said Jason as he quickly sat on the ground while ignoring their reply.

They all agreed since he has really done a great job holding the beast back while they store energy for the attack but unknowing to them, Jason didn't waste up to two minutes before he recovered his energy. It didn't take the group much time before they were able to corner the beast and with a little effort, they quickly put an end to it. Seeing that the beast have been taken care of, Jason got up from where he was sitting and when to approach the beast with a wide smile on his face. 

"I hope you are not thinking of absorbing its energy" asked the beast.

"How can I forget about that when everyone is here" replied Jason as he has totally forgotten.

"There is no way you are going to collect the beast core without making direct contact with the beast" said the beast. 

"This is really annoying you know, now who is going to help me with that" said Jason as he begin to scan the people until he saw Austin who was standing close to a tree.

"Hey Austin my man" call out Jason with a smile on his face.

Austin begin to look around to see who it was that called him only to see Jason with a smile on his face. Walking up to him with the thought that Jason is about to do something stupid.

"I never knew you will be resting up here after running around the place with the beast on your tail" said Austin with a smile on his face. 

"Please don't bring that matter up alright" replied Jason. 

"Alright then if you say so, do you need anything" asked Austin as the smile on his face die down. 

"Come on man, is it a crime if I called a fellow comrade that I have not seen for some hours now" replied Jason with a sad face.

"Come on spit it out before we leave" said Austin as he fold his hand in the front of his chest.

"Alright then, since you don't want to have a good time with a friend before talking about business, let's just go straight to the point. I want you to get me the beast core" replied Jason.

Austin just stood still as his brain begin to process the words that left Jason's mouth as he begin to ask him.

"You...you want me to get the beast core for you". 

"That right" replied Jason with a smile.

"Why can't you go and get it yourself" asked Austin with a frown. 

"Are you blind, can't you see that I am still recovering from the battle I just went through" replied Jason.

"I am not but I believe that you are for you to think of taking the beast core from their watch" asked Austin.

"Why can't I when I am the one that did the whole work. Like me ask you, who is going to take the beast core then" replied Jason with his own question.

"Well that is a tricky question you just asked Jason" said Austin as the frown on his face deepen.

"You see what I am talking about, there is no way a family will want to leave the core to another family so the best solution is for me to keep it for peace to reign since I don't belong to any of the family" replied Jason.

"You will have to tell them yourself" said Austin as he sat on the ground while waiting for Jason to make his move.

Seeing that Austin doesn't want to help him out, Jason can only take a deep breath before calling out to Adam as he said. 

"Remember you promised to let me take the beast core earlier".

"I never promise to let you have it, I only said we will talk about that after dealing with the beast" replied Adam.

"But… But that's was not what you meant when you said we will take about it later" said Jason in disappointment.

"You can see that everyone is gathered here so there is no way you will be able to take it while we watch you do it since we also contributed" replied Adam with a straight face.

"But I am the one that contributed the most so why are you saying that I don't deserve to take the beast core. Let me ask you, how would you guys be able to beat the beast if it wasn't for me who was busy distracting the beast" asked Jason.

"I know the reason why we were able to defeat the beast was all because of you but there is no way that we are going to let you take the beast core when there are other things that you can ask of" replied Adam.

"I guess that is what will happen since I am not a member of any family here, there is no way you guys are going to let me have it" said Jason.

"You should know that there is no way on earth you are going to have it so just let it be alright" replied Adam.

"Yeah I guess that is how it is going to be since you guys won't let me have what I want, then I guess I will have to go my separate way since it is better than going with you guys" said Jason angrily.
