God's Eyes

"Doesn't it look like he is helping us, and protecting the city? Why else would he risk his life to kill the chimeras...he doesn't even know what kind of powerhouse might suddenly emerge from the world bridge. The halfl...no..Jason Stella won't be able to flee if a chimera at a much higher mana core stage might appear either!"

The young protector's words made sense, and the other two could only stare at Jason dumbfoundedly.

They had blindly trusted the rumors spread on the Skynet forum, without questioning their credibility.

However, what they saw in front of them was the exact opposite of what they had heard.

Was that Jason's manipulative tricks or had every forum thread they read about Jason been nothing but a lie?

It was one thing that some people were writing bad about a person they may not like, but the number of people defending Jason, who was labeled as a monster and a bad person, was insignificant.

Furthermore, everyone who tried to defend Jason online had been insulted and attacked with hateful messages almost instantly.

As such, the three protectors, who could only read the forum threads that were filled with hateful things about Jason, were having a hard time distinguishing the truth from baseless rumors.

This was something Jason had already expected, and it was not like he felt anything due to those idiotic keyboard warriors that were confident behind their screen, spewing hate and chaos from the comfort of their homes without coming out in the open.

If they were to stand in front of him, releasing his Celestia aura would be more than enough for Jason to quiet them down in an instant.

Meanwhile, most powerhouses didn't bother actively trashing Jason or creating rumors.

That was the task they could delegate to their subordinates, but even then it was also not something every big clan would do.

As long as they could, maintaining a good relationship with Jason was the best for them.

Some big clans might not have noticed it, but his superior mana aptitude and other advantageous characteristics of foreign races had made him stand out from the rest.

However, in addition to possessing mana eyes, Jason had something extraordinary, something only the human race had, which was at the same time the reason for the entire race to be so valuable for everyone else!

Jason had a soul world too!

He had never actively released his soulbonds while fighting because Artemis and Petri had simply been too weak, but most people knew about him having soulbonds.

Artemis' wings were an indicator for this, but it could have also been seen as a trait owing to him being from another race.

There were few times he had released Artemis, but other than that, Petri was never seen by anyone.

Jason didn't do so intentionally, but it was because Petri had already started to evolve when Solaris had absorbed the first liquefied drop of the Ascron's lifeforce from the body of the suicidal Ifry.

If he were to fight against other beasts, Petri could have defeated them easily. However, fighting against numerous winged beasts was not something Petri, a beast without wings and following the path of strength, could do easily.

Hence, instead of relying on his soulbonds completely, Jason focused on fighting against everyone combining his own combat prowess with their shared strength.

By executing the Floating Sky movement technique, his movement speed had almost doubled.

In addition, Solaris' flames gave him a huge boost in his strength, and even speed!

Boosting his acceleration with outbursts of tiny explosions and eruptions of its flames, Jason turned the dangerous situation he had to face, into something that looked like a child's play.

The three protectors of the city could only stare at Jason's black outlines in awe, while one chimera after another fell to the ground, beheaded, halved, or simply killed with a thrust, straight into their heart.

Several minutes passed and Jason had to decrease the amount of mana he inserted into both Solaris and the Floating Sky movement technique.

His mana consumption was simply too high, and the number of chimeras arriving through the world bridge didn't seem to cease.

Instead, Jason assumed that the number was increasing.

This astonished him a little bit, and he began to wonder just how many chimeras were there on the other side of the world bridge.

Did the world bridges appear in the lair of the chimeras or was there something else that caused them to appear on Argos?

Jason didn't know the answer, but the more time passed, the more interesting the whole situation seemed to become!

Despite his huge mana consumption, Solaris' ability to drain the life force of other beasts regenerated its mana by only a minuscule degree.

At the same time, it was as if Petri was leeching on the wastes Solaris was expelling.

Jason found it very weird, but Solaris' wastes that were transferred right into the soul world, were able to nurture Petri!

It was incomparable to primordial energy and insignificant, but the quantity of wastes Solaris was receiving from every single chimera were shockingly high!

As such, it was still helpful for Petri, and Jason couldn't help but feel that they were a perfect team. The wastes were instantly recycled leaving a cleansed soul world without any residual waste.

It could be described as a parasitic relationship, only that Petri didn't harm Solaris in any way.

While investigating the situation inside his soul world, Jason had been distracted for a short moment, missing dozens of chimeras that were driving towards the city.

It was only the three protectors now that were standing between the chimeras' and the city, and there was no way for them to evade them anymore.

At that moment, the chimeras spit out huge deep red flames, aiming towards the three protectors whom they considered as nothing but ants.

Jason was much more dangerous, and someone they had to avoid by all costs.

Trying to take Jason's brethren as hostages would cause him to make mistakes.

At least, that was what they expected as they rushed towards the city with their highest possible speed.

The three protectors would have been ignored or also taken as hostages, but their combined strength might've been enough to kill a few of the chimera if they were to be too careless.

In the beginning, Jason had assumed the chimeras to be beasts that had more muscle than brain, who only knew to mindlessly destroy rather than use strategy or tactics.

However, that didn't seem to be the case, and Jason was forced to execute the Floating Sky movement technique at the currently highest possible degree.

His mana was rapidly drained, but it didn't even take him two seconds to cross the distance between himself and the three protectors.

He suddenly emerged in front of them, shocking the already flabbergasted protectors, as his eyes shone brightly.

When he activated the abyssal effect of his emperor eyes, the petrification curse, and releasing killing intent to merge everything together, it caused the chimeras' bodies to stiffen for a moment.

This short timespan gave Jason enough time to react to the dozen-meter-long flames the lizard head spewed out.

At that moment, he released several black, compressed spearlike flames that shot straight towards the Chimeras that stared at him in fear. While Jason's mana core and veins were issuing loud noises as if they were just a second away from tearing his body apart.

Gritting his teeth, he killed the chimeras that had almost obliterated the existence of the three protectors that stared at Jason in shock.

'He...protected us??'

Jason's mana had been used up, and his body couldn't take it anymore.

However, there was no way that he could give up now.

Even without mana, he was strong enough!

There was no need for him to rely on Solaris' strength either.

Mana was not everything after all!
