God's Eyes

After flying for a long time at a high altitude, they finally landed on the ground.

With a thunderous roar that echoed through the surroundings, the exhausted female dragon reached the ground, after spending numerous days in which she had attempted to retrieve her soul.

It had only been shortly before Jason and Jennifer had encountered her that she lost the last strands of her connection to the separated part of her soul.

This had also been the reason why she had been enraged and ended up further exhausting herself.

In the end, the situation had turned overly chaotic since then as she didn't even notice the Rocs whom she engulfed in the flames of her breath, preventing them from leaving the treetop.

As such, only after Jennifer had asked her if she had something against the Rocs that lived in the thicket of the treetop, did the red female dragon get to know about the existence of the Roc family.

It was embarrassing, but she was glad that none of the Rocs had died due to her.

Even dragons valued the survival of beasts that were about to go extinct. After all, they were one such species themselves! 

With everyone having calmed down, the dragon could finally rest a little bit upon reaching the ground.

She didn't even remember how long it had been since she got even close to the ground.

Thus, placing her feet on the dry soil was oddly relieving.

Closing her eyes, she allowed Jason to tend to her injured soul by using some of his divine energy.

He didn't have to do that because the female dragon would have been able to survive even without him doing that.

Yet, the exact opposite was the case with the piece of branch that rested in her stomach, and would slowly start to harm her entire body.

By fully understanding this, the female dragon knew that her life was on the line.

Because of that, she even accepted the disgrace of another being's flame entering her body which she would have never allowed in normal circumstances.

Having sensed the black origin flame earlier, the red dragon knew that the flame was overly pure and likely to be strong enough to cleanse her entire body.

Additionally, it should be possible to burn through the branch of the Dimitra helios tree.

Separated from the main part of its body the branch of the Dimitra helios tree was bound to have weakened tremendously.

Following that three weeks had passed according to the female dragon.

This duration should have been more than enough to further weaken the branch.

As such, the only unknown factor was the question of whether the energy burning ability of Solaris was strong enough or not.

Following that, Solaris' purification capabilities were also questioned, but Jason was quite confident in his souldbond's abilities.

However, even if something would go wrong, Solaris was the best choice the female dragon had.

Jason had given the dragon the choice to let him help or to let herself suffer.

Yet, in the end, he had his own plans to fulfill, and everything Jason did was to achieve something.

Often enough he had shown that he could help others, but in most cases, he had come up with a plan in mind with which he could make use of his helping hand.

And the exact same was the case right now.

Using his help to gain favor from the red dragon in return, Jason had already thought of what he would request, while it was quite similar to the Rocs.

They might need some time to realize it yet, but he had rescued them as well.

The leaves of the Dimitra helios tree's treetop had nearly burned, and the Rocs' younglings would have died had it reached them.

Now they were safe and sound. In fact, they had even decided to leave their hideout to witness what Jason was about to do.

Because of that, even the severely injured Roc at the Mecynar stage had descended to the ground, while the three younglings had rested on their mother's back as she flew to the ground.

They kept a distance of a few hundred meters from the dragon, but Jason wasn't sure if it was enough. The dragon alone was already more than fifty meters long, and their own size was more than ten meters as well. Thus, he could question whether this distance was enough for Specta and Mecynar stage powerhouse to be safe from each other or not!

Jason found it quite amusing that the Rocs' had changed their behavior all of a sudden.

Before, they had been too frightened to try conversing with the red dragon but had suddenly mustered the courage to leave their hideout to see what Jason was about to do.

In the end, this was kind of ridiculous, but even more so was their frightened behavior.

After all, Rocs were said to be Mythical existences too!

This meant the strength of the mother Roc ought to be similar to that of the red dragon!

Yet, in the end, the answer to the fear of the older Rocs was quite simple.

'They were afraid that something could happen to their younglings!'

Having given this thought more time to sink in, Jason's heart warmed a bit as he looked at them for a little bit longer.

In the end, Rocs were, in fact, more like overdimensional sized Eagles, with only slight differences in the forms of their feathers, and shape of their head, including two curved black horns that protruded from either side of their head.

Yet, their innate traits included being able to sense the surrounding winds in a perfect manner, which would in turn allow them to fly in the direction of the wind and meet minimum resistance, or even to change the natural flow of the surrounding wind currents.

This was quite useful in order to achieve a higher flying speed.

However, this was not all because their natural control over mana and primordial energy was quite terrifying, allowing them to defeat beasts at a higher rank than their cultivation base.

As such, the fact that all Rocs in front of Jason was born with different elemental affinities piques his curiosity as they were far more powerful than normal elemental affinities at the same rank!!

Thus, Jason's eyes landed on the youngling Rocs that were playing with each other, running around their parents, only to notice someone's gaze lingering on them.

Turning its head, the golden feathered Roc let out a screech when it looked into Jason's golden eyes.

It's feathers were beautiful, and gleamed in a rich golden colour when light rays fell on it.

Yet, its golden piercing eyes were even more attractive as they looked quite similar to how Jason's eyes had looked when he was a little child that was pure, innocent, and full of curiosity!

At this moment, Jason's eyes brightened up, giving Jennifer the impression that he was starstruck by the sight in front of him.

This caused her to feel as if her heart was pricked by a sharp needle, which was the most confusing as her mind began to come up with the weirdest thoughts.

'Why can't he look at me like that??'

Sighing deeply, Jennifer was aware of the fact that Jason was seeing something in the golden feathered Roc that made him act like this.

Nevertheless, it annoyed her to no end, ignoring the fact that Jason looked at her in a similar manner, bewitched and starstruck.

His love for her was not even a topic for debate but sometimes his soulbonds would make her feel insecure. 

And somehow, she felt that the Rocs were going to make her feel that too.

However, Jason was interested in many things, including procuring more and more soulbonds.

However, Jennifer was not the only one who was irked by this as Artemis and the other soulbonds of Jason could sense that something annoying was bound to happen.
