God's Eyes

Feeling endless power surging through his body, Jason was barely able to control the urges that Petri transferred to him.

He stopped trying to fight them as rage engulfed him while he let out an ear-splitting roar that shook the surroundings as he shouted.

"Show me your power!!" 

The King's aura was fully unleashed, enveloping several kilometers of his surrounding, weakening Kiat's control over the wind spears and spatial portals.

Clearly sensing everything that happened within his aura, Jason knew the position of every single wind spear that attacked him.

This gave him the opportunity to face them head-on as he came up with a counterattack.

However, that was not even necessary as he manifested a dozen spatial portals.

They appeared right in front of the spinning wind spears, only for the exit to be located all around Kiat.

The Sacred Elvyr was still rushing towards him and had already reached proximity.

However, Kiat quickly noticed that Jason's demeanor had changed.

From the gentle and kind halfling, he had turned into someone who didn't allow disobedience.

Only submission and surrender was what Jason accepted, causing Kiat to swallow nervously.

This was already more than enough for Kiat to feel as if his will was crumbling.

Never had he sensed something like this, despite having lived for more than ten thousand years.

Kiat had been fully aware of the capabilities of a Celestia.

After all, Celestia Yaldra was their benefactor, and the Sacred Elvyr possessed a similar type of cultivation energy.

Additionally, the Elvyrs were quite proficient with the cultivation of mana, and the control over several affinities.

Knowing that the Celestia were the beings that had the best control over mana, the highest talent over it, and relatively few difficulties to control the affinities efficiently, Kiat had been ready to face Jason with all his might.

But right now, Kiat could clearly sense that Jason had yet to use his God's Halo, or some of his divine energy to fight against him.

In fact, they hadn't even clashed with each other and Kiat was already feeling as if he was being overwhelmed, by his own attacks at that.

However, instead of giving up, the Sacred Elvyr upped his game as he dispelled the spinning wind spears.

Materializing a spatial portal right in front of him, and five around Jason, Kiat jumped through the one before himself.

Almost instantaneously, Kiat emerged behind Jason and thrust out the longsword that had manifested in his hand.

It was a longsword with a thin green blade that was mostly utilized for rapid attacks.

And that was exactly what Kiat was attempting to do; overwhelming Jason with his speed.

Unfortunately, this was not possible while Kiat's cultivation base was restricted to the peak of the Ascendion stage, which he noticed a fraction of a second later.

Clearly sensing which spatial portal had been connected to the one Kiat had manifested, Jason lashed out his long tail.

Coiling itself around his waist, the tail continued to advance, flinging Kiat in the air.

However, only a moment later, a platform manifested out of thin air and slowed down Kiat's flight as he moved his body in the air before pushing his feet off the platform.

Catapulting himself back to Jason, Kiat's eyes gleamed brightly.

A trace of excitement could be seen in his eyes.

It had been an eternity since someone had forced him to fight with all his might.

Yet, as of now, Kiat believed that Jason might be the one to achieve this.

Releasing some restrictions he had put on himself, the Sacred Elvyr's raw strength elevated to the Initial ranks of the Specta stage.

However, Kiat didn't even notice this as he felt that his speed had increased once again.

While catapulting towards Jason, he had instinctively manifested more than a thousand wind spears which he shot out without hesitation all at once.

Reaching Jason at the same time as the wind spears, Kiat thrust the thin-bladed longsword towards him.

Only a moment later, he realized that each of his attacks was more than enough to kill the young man in front of him.

But realization struck him way too late as the first spears pierced through Jason.

This caused Kiat's eyes to widen in shock when he sensed that he had unleashed a lot of his strength in the heat of the moment.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't occur as multiple things happening at the very same moment.

First, Jason exerted the Hermes Celeration technique, allowing him to reach a far higher speed than before.

Following that, he used the purest divine energy in order to circulate it through his body, and also to exert his movement technique.

A moment later, his entire body began to shimmer in a blackish-golden light as he began to move forward.

Leaving behind an afterimage, Jason disappeared from his earlier position, making Kiat look around in a daze.

Strong wind currents splashed in Kiat's face, originating from the high speed at which Jason had moved to leave the encirclement of more than a thousand wind spears.

One of wind spears had sliced through the scales on his body, making blood trickle to the ground, but he didn't even notice that injury.

The only thing Jason was able to perceive was the opponent ahead.

As such, when he left the encirclement, Jason didn't even think of keeping his distance from his opponent to collect himself.

Appearing behind Kiat, he thrust his hands forward that had turned into black scaled gloves, with razor-sharp fangs growing out of each of them, turning his arms into a deadly weapon.

Barely noticing the arrival of Jason behind him, Kiat tried to turn around early enough to block the attack that was bound to reach him.

Yet, even before Kiat could fully turn around, Jason's reptile eyes had caught him, as they began to glow brightly.

He formed a formidable attack by combining his excitement to fight, the wild instincts of Petri, the race specific weakening curse, the petrification curse, and the abyssal effect at once.

The combined attack pierced straight through Kiat's emerald eyes, reaching his mind in an instant.

Shocked about the unexpected mental attack, the Sacred Elvyr took a second to react and soon started struggling to overcome the numbing pressure.

But to his dumbfoundment, it seemed to be impossible to do so while restricting his cultivation base at the Initial Specta stage.

This was even more shocking to Kiat than the attack itself.

'That…is not something a Celestia can do…right? Chaos…darkness…and shadows…'

With the use of his lesser divine energy, Kiat was able to endure the mental attack and Jason's strongest attack for a few seconds.

All of a sudden, just when the attack seemed to grow weaker, and release the Sacred Elvyr out of its grasp, a sudden stream of Divine energy was intertwined in Jason's attack.

Without hesitation, he used his strongest means to overwhelm Kiat, and take him down with all his might.

But, even after it seemed as if the Sacred Elvyr was on the verge of being defeated, Jason was not happy.

On the contrary, he looked coldly at Kiat as Petri's pride overwhelmed his senses making him grasp the Sacred Elvyr by the collar.

"Is that all you can do? I don't think so… NOW SHOW EVERYTHING!!" 

At this moment, Jason lost all his reasoning and rationale as Petri's will and pride consumed him, making him reveal his entire strength, and overpower his opponents while they were fighting with all their might.

Hearing the distinct voice of Jason ringing through his ears, Kiat could only mutter something incomprehensible.

This caused Jason to squint his eyes for a moment, before sensing that the Sacred Elvyr was moving once again.

''Fuck this shit…I'm really too old to allow a youngster to toy with me!!''
