God's Eyes

According to Milan Jual's information, there were lots of cursed beasts that had a weakening curse.

This made Jason extremely happy and he couldn't help but smile brightly.

His smile was hidden behind the mask and nobody could see it, otherwise, the others would be able to comprehend his entire plan!

Milan had also said that a weakening curse was among the most common ones within the Mythic Garden which was extremely weird for Jason to hear.

Not only were there only a few cursed beasts on Canir and the Archipelago but these curses had a wide area of effect too!

Under normal circumstances, it was rare to find different beasts with the same curse which was the reason for Jason, Shane, and Dalia to be so anxious about finding a perfect soulbond for Jason.

Milan's information was more detailed than the one written within the book about the Mythic Garden he had obtained not long ago.

Nevertheless, he was unable to figure out which of those beasts that harbored a weakening curse was perfectly suited towards him.

As long as the curse was directed to his soul world and not his physique or mana core, everything would be perfect.

The only issue was that Jason couldn't tell whether a soul world curse would weaken the fortified soul conjunction he had with his three soulbonds or not.

It's also possible that his affinities' strength would be drastically reduced through a soul world curse.

There were also other traits of his soul world that could be reduced and weakened by a large margin with such a curse.

Yet, the most important trait Jason paid attention to was the fortified soul conjunction, which was the connection he had to his soulbonds and the fact that his soulbonds' inherited their affinity to him!

Other than that, Jason didn't mind his soul worlds' size deflating or his soul energy replenishing speed decelerating if he were to be cursed.

Jason and Milan had a good time talking to each other while the remaining four team members remained quiet.

They were unsure whether to join their discussion or not. Both Jason and Milan talked about the Mythic Garden the most, which was something the others had also information about.

Their information might be incomparable to Milan's but Jason seemed to be oblivious to most facts.

As such, they thought that it might be better to join their discussion after a while.

Thus, nobody realizes that they were already in the adjacent area close to the exposed, small mama vein.

Suddenly Jason halted in his tracks when his mana eyes perceived the enormous mana fluctuations stemming from ahead of them.

"I don't think we should go further ahead… Where is the path towards the underground tunnels?" Jason didn't want to expose everything about him, and he found it unnecessary to show that he had mana eyes right off the bat.

Wondering why Jason was suddenly so vigilant, the others looked at their surroundings only to notice that they hadn't met a single best for over an hour.

If that were everything it wouldn't be much of an issue but the sounds they could hear from further ahead were enough to tell them that Jason was right.

They might be unable to see something through the maze of giant tropical trees and bushes but that didn't mean they couldn't hear and sense anything.

Taking a look at his surrounding, Milan said

"We shouldn't be far from the cavern entrance...However, once we step inside everyone has to be vigilant. It would be the best for all of us if we mark the path we will take too!

I was told that there are several thousand tunnels in total. Most of them might be deeper underground but we should still try to take the right tunnel that leads us towards the small mana vein! Otherwise, it's likely that we get lost!"

It was not surprising that there were many tunnels in the cavern entrance they would enter and it would be weirder if there was only one path, leading directly towards the exposed mana vein.

As such, the others nodded nervously, not being able to suppress their anxiety.

This anxiety stemmed from the fact that they would enter one of the most dangerous areas within the Mythic Garden, at least under the current circumstances as the exposed mana vein would attract lots of beasts.

Other than that, taking one or multiple wrong tunnels could be their doom.

Ending up lost in a cave with thousands of tunnels was nothing to scoff at.

Milan smiled knowingly when he looked at his team only to notice that Jason, who still wore the black mask, was extremely calm.

He stood in front of them like a statue, not moving at all when he asked

"Can we go now? It would be worse to stay here doing nothing! We are exposed to every beast that might want to enter the underground cave, where a few strong beasts should already be!"

Somehow, Jason's words were enough to calm down the four nervous team members and Milan could tell that there was something unique about the young man behind the black mask.

'His aura is unique and calming….which family could he belong to? I doubt that he belongs to the Melar family...he has a fire affinity after all….The Lazor family?... That's also unlikely...He is way too nice to hail from them and not arrogant at all….'

While Milan tried to figure out which family, clan, or influential background Jason came from, he began walking towards the direction in which the cavern entrance was situated.

They couldn't find any beasts on their way which made them believe that everyone wanted to receive benefits from the small mana vein. Joining the fray seemed to be ordinary in that case!

This was surprising, yet, it shouldn't be because everyone, whether it was human or beast, tried their utmost efforts to reap the most benefits through magical treasures and high-density mana areas.

In the end, nobody wanted to fall short of others, and being weaker than another beast would mean the weaker beast's death!

As such one had to grasp every single opportunity!

Beasts were much more desperate than humans to reap benefits because most young prodigies within the Mythic Garden received enough resources from their families to attain a certain threshold before they were requested to earn their own resources.

This threshold was reached when the expenditures increased to such a high degree that it would become a burden for the big families to nurture several hundred descendants at once.

It didn't take long for Milan, Jason, and the rest of their team to arrive inside a small valley that had a few gigantic, tropical trees within.

While Jason was astonished about the mana currents and color radiating from the large trees, Milan and the others were looking out for the cavern entrance that was hidden from one's bare eyes.

Jason would be able to find the entrance easily, but he was distracted by his surroundings. He didn't even start looking out for the entrance which was eyed oddly.

'He didn't come to the Mythic Garden to create some nice memories, right? This is not like a resort where you can do vacations…' The others thought and only Milan stared at Jason more intently, asking himself what Jason was trying to see in his surroundings.

After a few minutes, Jason regained his composure and the first thing he did was to look out for his team members that were still searching for the cavern entrance that other young prodigies from the Jual clan had hidden by using several mechanisms.

One of the mechanics the youths were searching for was an illusion rune that was supplied from the surrounding mana. However, when Jason took one look at the valley, he was able to tell, almost immediately, where the entrance they were searching for, was situated.

As such he approached said location without hesitation.

Standing in front of the entrance he touched the flourishing grass, only to notice that he was unable to grasp it.

'As expected, an illusion rune...It's a complex one too. I guess this rune had been previously inscribed somewhere and pulled off through an inscription transfer device, or maybe rune? Either way, it had to be expensive!'

Staring at the illusion rune with interest, he shouted

"I found it!"

Attracted by this, the other rushed towards him, only to see Jason playing around with the illusion, projected by the rune.

Milan was happy that they finally found the entrance to the underground tunnels which allowed them to join the fray with the other beasts and young prodigies.

Rather than that, they were at a small advantage with other young prodigies because they didn't have to face or avoid as many super-strong beasts as they would have!
