God's Eyes

Because he was not sure how much time had passed, Jason assumed that it was best for them to leave the core area of the mana vein as soon as possible.

His masters were probably worried about his well-being but this was not the reason for Jason to hurry up.

After the primal awakening of the Celestia bloodline had been completed, Jason felt an ominous feeling approaching him.

It was as if something huge was or had already happened!

From what his soulbonds transmitted to him afterwards, Jason comprehended that the golden-silverish' aura could be sensed over a long distance too!

If the glow, released by his primal awakening could be perceived throughout the whole mana vein, how far was the radius others could sense his aura during the bloodline awakening?

He was not sure, but it had to be a vast range. Adding the factor that he estimated some races to have superior senses than humans had, Jason couldn't help but start sweating.

Jason thought about retracing his soulbonds to the soul world and a moment later they had already disappeared as their stigma began to glow.

This astonished him for a moment, but at the same time, it made him happy.

It seemed that the stigma's Jason and his soulbonds had received through the primal awakening of his bloodline allowed him to control his soulbonds much faster.

At the same time they didn't require to use a magic circle to leave or enter the soul world anymore.

This would save some time and Jason couldn't help but smile lightly.

Nevertheless, he didn't want to waste anymore time as he told Artemis to enter his mana core.

Right now, he had only one drop of mana, but this drop was special as it had faint golden and silver traces intertwined within.

However, that was not the important point!

The drop of mana was compressed and consumed as much mana as required to liquefy three common drops of mana.

This meant that he would be superior to everyone at the same rank than he was because his drop of mana required more mana to be liquefied at once, which meant he received a greater enhancement from every single drop of mana he liquefied!

At the same time it slowed down his breakthrough progress by a large margin.

Shaking his head to prevent any complaints in his mind to surface, Jason noticed that Artemis had already entered his mana core before he manifested her wings.

From the soul amplification of 100% which he would obtain from any soulbond within his mana core under normal circumstances, he received only 50%, thanks to Petri's race individual weakening curse he had obtained several months ago.

Yet, those 50% were enough to increase his strength by around 20 drops of liquefied mana, which indicated that Artemis had already liquefied 40 drops of mana.

'She had around...25 drops of mana after 6 months...and she was suddenly transported to the mana vein core from the Owl-bear somewhat in the middle of my awakening..? How much time passed?...3 months? Maybe 2 months?'

Jason was confused about how much time had passed since his awakening.

This was extremely important to determine how dangerous their situation was or if something bad had happened.

There was also the possibility that his primal awakening was unnoticed by anyone because Astrix was relatively far away from other islands.

Nevertheless, it was always better to be careful about such things!

The Shadow Walker might have left without doing anything to him, but that didn't mean other races would do the same!

As such Jason who had already manifested Artemis' wings flew through the narrow cavern tunnel his mana eyes perceived perfectly down to the finest detail.

He was not even required to slow down his speed that was shockingly fast as he appeared in front of his masters, Emily, and her soulbond, which had already grown to a 6 meter long green feathered roc, in less than an hour.

Upon appearing in front of them, Jason had reduced his flying speed drastically by adjusting the position of his wings as he landed in front of his masters.

"Are you finally done?" Shane teased light, trying to cover his shock, when he saw the reserved wing shaped stigma above his head.

A moment later he saw Jason's eyes which caused him to exclaim.

"Your…?" Shane started only for Emily to shout out in shock

"JASON!! What happened to you??"

When Jason's mature face and tone physique had been handsome and pleasing to look at before, he looked now like a mix between gorgeous, handsome, yet powerful.

The faint aura radiating from him showed his strength which was something that Jason couldn't control yet, and Emily couldn't help but stare at him in shock.

Other than growing to a height of 1.85 meters, Jason could tell that lots of things about him had changed and it was nothing special that they were astonished.

He felt the same after all!

His skin was more refined than before and he could tell that his leaking mana fluctuations in addition to the stigma above his right eye should be shocking.

As such he smiled brightly as he pointed at the stigma.

"Don't worry, the stigma is something I obtained when I liquefied my mana...It caused the awakening of my bloodline, but let's talk about that later. We should depart as soon as possible!

I don't know how much time passed but other races might have sensed my awakening!"

Even if Jason's words sounded like he was in a hurry, his whole demeanor was calm and his shoulders that looked like they had become broader were completely relaxed.

There was no tension within Jason and he felt better than he had ever felt in his entire life!

His mana eyes received the biggest improvement after the awakening and Jason was still trying to figure out its limits.

But one thing he noticed was the fact that he could filter out certain mana flicutations by simply thinking about it.

At the same time, his mana core's size was much larger than it had been before, even without receiving any soul amplifications.

While the Mortal stage was seen as the enlargement process in one's mana core's size for most foreign races, this was different for the human race!

There wouldn't be anymore augmentions in one's mana core's size for common races, and the exceptions were peculiar.

At least if one were to exclude bloodline awakenings that happened with most stronger races whose newborns couldn't handle the fully awakened bloodline after they had been born.

Unsealing their bloodline slowly allowed them to slowly adjust to the increased strength they would receive.

Those enhancements were in physical strength and their mana core's size.

However, humans were completely different, because their mana core size could increase continuously as long as their soulbond didn't have a limited potential, or one's soul was too small to bind more soulbonds.

This meant that humans were able to attain a larger mana core size than foreign races, as long as their soul world was large enough and they had suitable beasts to bind to their soul!

In that sense, Jason was extremely unique and one of a kind!

After merging with the Celestia bloodline that had awakened, Jason sensed that he could unseal his bloodline at a steady pace once he was strong enough to handle it.

At the same time he had to be careful of possible surrounding dangers and the fact that he required a terrifying high amount of mana!

When he had his next awakening, Jason estimated that the mana vein would either be devoured by him or that this might not even be enough to supply his second bloodline awakening!

The thought that this might be the case shocked him greatly, but even more astonishing was the fact that he could expand his mana core's size more than everyone else did!

Not only did he have the perks of being from an extremely strong race, whom he didn't know anything about, but Jason had also mankind's sole perk; a soul world!

If Jason utilized everything properly, he could turn into a monstrous existence that might displease other races.

He had to be careful about everything and decided that it would be best to test out how to disguise his stigma and the aura enveloping him.

Both were factors that could endanger him and everyone around him which was something Jason wanted to avoid at all costs.

However, before he was able to test out if the concealment technique he had practiced was something he could combine with other aspects to conceal everything pointing out that he had the blood of the Celestia race within him, someone interrupted him.

It was Dalia who jolted him out of his train of thoughts by using her fingers to snap at Jason's forehead.

"What?..Sorry, I was in my own train of thoughts...there are so many things that changed so suddenly and everything about my body feels new."

Dalia smiled lightly, covering the worried glint in her eyes, when Jason saw himself in her own eyes as she said

"Your eye color changed!"

Jason, who could also see this in Dalia's eyes, couldn't believe what he saw because he didn't expect his eye color to change so suddenly.

Furthermore, he didn't feel anything special about his pupils that could have caused them to change their color so suddenly.

Before, he was already considered a unique case with high distinct golden colored eyes, but when he took out his light longsword, he utilized as a mirror to see himself, Jason couldn't help but mumble

"What is that bullsh*t??"

Turning his head to his masters he asked

"Why do I have a mixture of golden and silver colored eyes now?? What is that?? They're just...weird now and definitely not something one would label a 'normal' trait…"

Jason began to panic a little bit which caused his masters and Emily to smile lighty.

A moment earlier, they saw how calm and calculative Jason was about the dangers that might approach them.

This made them wonder if his whole demeanor changed after he had undergone his awakening, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Nobody knew why exactly his eye color changed, to such a exotic color at that, but it had definitely something to do with his awakening as Emily recalled something which caused her to say

"I'm not sure if I saw everything correctly...but..in the beginning when we sensed that Jason's awakening started, the mana vein was enveloped in a...white-silverish hue or glow and only when we sensed strong mana fluctuations from the mana vein's core did a golden hue envelop and devour everything...That is at least what I saw...I'm not sure if I my words make sense...but couldn't that be the main reason for your eye color to change?"

Jason averted his attention to Emily, and her words made somewhat sense because he recalled what happened after the golden glow he had released from his eyes devoured everything in its surrounding.

"I retraced the golden-silverish aura into my eyes....Thinking about it, it was always weird that i had golden eyes because my mother had silver eyes like the Celestia race has too...but in that sense her eyes were called superior to theirs too…"

Jason's mind was rattling, however, in the end, he was unable to get the hang on everything right off the bat as Dalia said

"It's nice that you want to figure out what exactly happened with you, but didn't you tell us that we should leave as soon as possible? Let's go first, talk about everything what happened and then we can brainstorm about every issue we have to face, alright?"
