God's Eyes

At first glance, Jason thought that he knew this race because it was evidently the Elvyr race!

He was overly familiar with them, and Jason also knew that his father had sent them to Argos in order to help him.

Taking this as a sign that his father might have sent out the Elvyr race to help him once again, Jason only noticed too late that the Elvyrs were only a higher race.

As such, beings at the Mecynar stage should be their leaders, which would mean that their king, queen or equivalent was standing right in front of him.

However, Jason didn't think that this was the case, and it was only then that he noticed a different type of energy that merged with the mana of the Elvyr in front of him.

It almost looked like the being in front of him was an evolved, or a greater existence than the ordinary Elvyrs he had seen on Argos.

This confused Jason and a frown escaped his poker face, which the being that was called Sacred Elvyr noticed at once.

"Young Master, there is no need to worry. I've been sent by Celestia Yadra. Nothing will happen to you!!"

A moment later, the Sacred Elvyr looked in the direction of the eight races, consisting of more than 50 beings at the Mecynar stage as he added,

"I shall take care of them. The news about your existence as Celestia halfling shall not be revealed! Please excuse me for a moment, young master!"

A second later, a total of two spatial portals materialized right next to Jason.

Within a fraction of a second, Jason and Jennifer were forcefully pulled inside one of the portals that threw them further away from the place that was bound to turn into a battlefield and an area of destruction.

Meanwhile, the second portal was the one the Sacred Elvyr used in order to appear right amidst the Cultivators at the Mecynar stage.

They had already regained their composure after noticing that Jason had disappeared.

Following that, their senses had perceived a total of three beings, based on Jason's soul fused energy fluctuations, Jennifer's primordial energy, and the fiery red dragon that had escaped without sustaining a single scratch.

Even if they didn't know how it was possible, sensing a subtle familiarity from the fluctuations Jason's soul fused form and Jennifer's primordial energy released, they were ready to kill them at once.

Only one race looked at the situation in dumbfoundment as they noticed something particular which was not ought to be possible for Jason to be able to do as a Celestia halfling.

'Could he be a Primal human's halfling too?!?!?' Shock was visible in their eyes, and they could barely regain their senses when a spatial portal emerged right in front of the presumed Jason.

It was a being of a race, they had never seen before.

Yet, the mana fluctuations of this being followed by another type of energy made everyone understand the fact that this being was also at the Mecynar stage, and not at the Lower ranks at that!

Thus, that one particular race that felt uncertain about whatever was going on decided to do one thing that shocked everyone else.

"We will leave!" It was the strongest being of their group who decided to take charge of the situation.

Considering that he saw what was going on with their designated target, it was only obvious that there was more behind Jason's existence and ancestry than him being a halfling of the Celestia race.

This was already shocking, and a reason for him to kill Jason, but if there was even the slightest chance of him being a descendant of a Primal human, killing Jason would be fatal.

After all, they had been instructed to protect the halfling by all means, if he were to be a Primal human!!

Having been sent by a Primal human, it was only obvious that they wanted to protect one of their own kind.

The Celestia race was likely to be the only race, that would forsake their own blood just because it was tarnished and impure in their eyes.

Yet, even though he had been ordered to protect someone having the blood of a Primal human, it was impossible for the old man to figure out whether Jason was truly a halfling born from parents belonging to Celestia and Primal human race, or if it was something else.

Utterly confused by everything, the old man who was in charge of his race to lead them to the mission decided to forsake it, causing his own kind to look at him in shock.

However, they had never seen a Primal human, contrary to himself, who had even seen them fighting against Gods! 

'Its just too similar.' He thought before slowly retreating.

A golden-orangish orb manifested in his hand, and with the use of his energy, a portal manifested behind him.

After bowing towards the other races at the Mecynar stage, the old man didn't feel like staying there anymore, even less after considering that the being in front of the presumed Jason caused his entire being to shudder.

Thus, he quickly left the place of danger with his race and the portal had barely closed as the Sacred Elvyr appeared in the center of the remaining group.

"Oh, it looks like I missed out on a few!" The Sacred Elvyr remarked in an eerily calm voice before shrugging his shoulders as if he didn't truly bother about that.

His mission might have been to prevent anyone from figuring out that Jason was, in fact, a Celestia halfling as it was a well-kept secret.

However, this was not his main mission.

The most important for him was to take care of Jason, and ensure his survival.

As such, it didn't really matter if a few beings had decided to leave.

In fact, it made things much easier for him.

Turning around to see everyone clearly, the Sacred Elvyr smiled lightly the moment he encountered the young man with wings.

His gaze lingered on him for a few seconds before a bright grin escaped his lips, causing his already otherworldly appearance to look even more stunning.

"An Apostel of the Shakiya? That's quite interesting. It's just unfortunate that you are a little bit young, and have been tasked with killing this young man.

I don't really understand why the Celestias are out to kill someone of their own kind, to begin with!"

Shaking his head in disappointment, the Sacred Elvyr's golden hair fluttered lightly behind his back.

This highlighted his perfect facial features, such as his big eyes that glowed in a faint emerald tone, his long eyelashes, or flawless skin that glowed in a milky hue.

His pointy ears were pricked, making it obvious that he listened to every little sound around him.

Thus, he also noticed when the first being was unable to hold back anymore.

The strongest of the black skinned being with silver lines that ran all over his body had lost himself in his impatience.

Even the last few minutes were already enough for him to lose his rationale, and the others of his kind felt exactly the same.

As such, the moment he started his attack on the Sacred Elvyr, whose back had been facing him, they initiated their attack.

This moment was also the sign that chaos descended as nobody was sure where Jason had been transported to.

Only subtly could some of them sense the rough position of Jason and Jennifer which was more than 200 kilometers away from their current position.

Knowing that they had to kill Jason, who seemed to go beyond their reach with every passing minute that they wasted in waiting, everyone was growing impatient.

Yet, instead of charging towards the Sacred Elvyr at once the majority of races decided to charge in different directions, increasing the distance between each other.

However, there was one particular race that decided to not mind the others, and charged straight in the direction in which Jason was located.

The moment others noticed this, they shot towards the five beings that belonged to the said race.

Just a fraction of a second later, a tempest of wind currents emerged seemingly out of nowhere as the Sacred Elvyr disappeared from the spot.

Not even those who attacked him were able to see a single movement of the Sacred Elvyr as he had already emerged right in front of the five beings who wanted to use the chaos in order to kill Jason.

"The young master is off limits! You will have to die now, I'm sorry…or maybe not!" 

At this moment the Sacred Elvyr's expression turned eerily cold as he waved his hand, while controlling the wind in a huge radius of more than a hundred kilometers around them.

"Now die for me, ant!"

Meanwhile, Jason and Jennifer were completely overwhelmed with the change of events as too many things were occurring at once.
