Chapter 950 - Is it one...or two?
Having been able to sense the strongest type of energy she had ever sensed from a being, the fiery red dragon believed that Jason could help her.
At least, he was able to do something, more than she was capable of.
He had appeared as her last ray of hope and something she desperately required because the efforts of her last few weeks had been entirely fruitless.
To her great misfortune, it had even harmed her, rather than helping her, which was the worst that could happen.
As such, the young true dragon was slowly growing weaker, and more desperate to trust anyone, who looked even remotely powerful, and capable of helping her.
Jason's cultivation base might be weak, but owing to the Celestia aura and his Stigma, she knew that he was, by no means, comparable to the weak individuals at his cultivation base.
Because of that, she decided to trust him, even if it was only a little bit.
What other choice did she have, to begin with?
[I will try my best to help you out, but don't expect any miracles!]
Jason was clear with his statement as he was not even sure what exactly was causing the Origin Sona flower to grow weak and wither.
In fact, it might seem quite obvious that the deprived portion of the dragon's soul might be at fault.
But that was certainly not the only reason, and Jason was sure of that.
Rather than being the only reason, the deprived soul was likely to be a part of the crucial factor as to why the Origin Sona flower was dying at such a rapid pace.
Thus, the moment he emerged in front of the dragon's chest, he first heard her large heart that was pounding loud enough to be comparable to thunder striking the ground right next to him.
He was unsure of what he was about to try would work but he would never know if he never tried.
First, he used moonlight transmuted mana to insert it into the dragon, who stiffened for a moment only to relax afterward.
Inserting energy into a different being was not to be taken lightly, and without trust, one shouldn't accept a stranger's energy, at all.
Yet, Jason didn't even ask the dragon's permission first and went ahead with his gut feeling.
As she knew that he was trying to help, she did not resist him while he tested out a few things with his moonlight transmuted mana.
He was unable to reach the dragon's soul with his mana, making it impossible to heal the most threatening internal wound.
However, there was something else that attracted Jason's attention, which caused him to frown lightly.
"Did you eat some branches of this weird tree?" He suddenly asked when sensing the familiar energy fluctuations of the Dimitra helios tree faintly radiating from her body?.
They were located within the female dragon, and several weeks old from the way Jason perceived it!
"Are you sure that the tree betrayed you, and not that you two were just in a conflict, and attacking each other in some way because of a misunderstanding? Because the branches of the Dimitra helios tree are still intact in your stomach, and not digested, or harming you from the inside!"
The moment Jason revealed this, the female Dragon let out a roar before sending a voice transmission.
[This was just to take revenge!! The tree attacked me first when I was sleeping soundly… Of course, I took revenge, but… my flames are unable to cause any damage, and the Dimitra helio tree attacks me the moment my claws reach its trunk!!]
She sounded as if she was grumbling like a little girl, causing Jason to frown deeply as he had expected a dragon to be an elegant and majestic being.
Yet, the more he heard from the female Fiery red dragon, the less impressed he was.
'And Jennifer was afraid of this sulky dragon?' Shaking his head, he began to wonder where the ferocious dragon from a few hours had disappeared to.
Did they switch places, or was it just their earlier perception of the dragon that had been completely wrong?
Jason had no idea, but if he were to be honest, it didn't really matter.
He might have misunderstood the situation of the dragon having a split personality.
In the end, this was the dragon's problem and not his.
As such, he could only try to dispel his earlier thoughts before changing the way in which he acted.
[I will use some of my divine energy to reach for your Origin Sona flower! I want to invigorate it. If you don't want that, tell me now, so I won't get swallowed by you the moment you feel that I'm doing something for the sake of harming you!]
Somehow, Jason switched between transmitting his voice and speaking everything he had in mind out loud.
This confused Jennifer, who was staring at the dragon warily while tiptoeing forward with the aim to rescuing Jason the moment something would go wrong.
But weirdly enough, this didn't seem necessary because the Dragon acted like Jason was her master, and obeyed his words as it allowed him to move around her body freely.
'Why does it feel like the dragon has become his soulbond??' Jennifer suddenly wondered, looking at the situation that felt oddly similar.
'Is it his Celestia aura that turns all of his soulbonds into clingy jitterbugs?'
Jennifer truly loved Jason's soulbonds, but all of them were way too clingy and prevented her from having some quality time with him alone.
Thus, despite loving them, she felt a little annoyed by them as they made her feel really uncomfortable in a specific situation.
Particularly Artemis would be the fussiest and lie in their bed after Jennifer and Jason had been together for one night!!
It made her feel like twisting the little Owl's neck, but shortly after Artemis would snuggle up to her too.
This meant that Artemis didn't necessarily hate her and that she was just envious of what she and Jason had.
However, that was even weirder in her opinion.
As such, Jennifer could only be confused about Jason and his ways of dealing with specific types of beasts.
There were numerous beasts he killed mercilessly, but in some cases, he acted as if he was a samaritan.
This made no sense at all and confused Jennifer the most.
In her opinion, fleeing at the sight of the Fiery red dragon would have been the best.
However, in the end, Jason already had come up with multiple plans in mind, and one of them revolved around Solaris and the dragon breath!
Yet, Jason's focus had been on the dragon and the Roc younglings as a bright, familiar smile emerged on his face.
Jennifer had seen this smile only once, and it was during the time he had procured the Mutated Egg of a Spirit!
She recalled the incident with Spyro, and the fact that Jason procured it, knowing that he could save the Spiral Spirit despite the numerous issues of the Egg.
Having seen this radiant expression just once, Jennifer was sure that Jason had something in mind.
Even if it was his subconsciousness telling him to help in order to bind one of the present beasts, Jennifer couldn't help but ask.
"Jason…be honest with me right now…who amongst the present beasts do you want to bind to your soul?!"
Jennifer's voice was extremely low and barely a whisper, but the Fiery red dragon heard everything.
But that was obvious as the dragon was at the peak of the Specta stage, and her hearing capabilities were phenomenal.
She looked at Jason, confused about what the winged woman that had suddenly appeared, meant with her question.
However, in the end, she could only see a subtle smile on his face as his golden eyes gleamed brightly before he mumbled.
"If possible, I would bind all five Rocs, and her."
While saying 'her', he pointed at the fiery red dragon, who was even more confused, only for Jason to add.
"Though I don't feel that they're willing to do so, but it might only be my gut feeling!"
With that being said, Jason's focus returned to tending the unique state of the Fiery red dragon, who continued to stare at Jason with an overly confused expression.
Meanwhile, Jennifer could only look at Jason, not sure of what to think about his crazy idea.
'Is he serious right now?'
