Chapter 1008 Seeking Blood
Jason did not have a single clue about what had caused the sudden reaction of the God's Halo.
It had happened all of a sudden and without any warning, providing him the necessary push he required to end the spar with Kiat much faster than expected.
He had predicted that the Sacred Elvyr would evade his multitude of attacks, before initiating a counterattack.
Not just that but, Jason had even predicted that Kiat would use his attacks against him to possibly injure him.
But that had never happened, leaving him a little bit dissatisfied. It was not that he had wanted Kiat to harm him but he had wanted to have a real fight with him.
The energy that coursed through his body had made him feel way too excited to continue fighting for several hours at once if possible.
His mind had filled with the vivid imagination of their glorious battle of utter exhaustion, with neither of them leaving their opponent the chance to land a single hit.
They would have continued fighting against each other with all their might and ended up without a trace of energy at the end of the day.
That was something he would be extremely happy about.
Unfortunately, the God's Halo had abruptly reacted and ended the fight too soon.
'What bullshit!!' He cursed, only to add a few more curses after his initial excitement of having defeated Kiat died down.
If the Sacred Elvyr were to know Jason's train of thoughts, he would probably feel like puking blood and the desire to beat the young halfling into a pulp.
Fortunately, that was not the case, and Kiat opined that the effect of the God's Halo was some sort of the best trump Jason could have ever possessed.
It had deprived him of his ability to control the surrounding energies, the mana and lesser divine energy he had annexed, along with the wind currents he had manifested.
This was something Kiat had never heard about, giving him the chills because it clearly showed that his knowledge about the Primordials was far less than he presumed to be.
'Just how truly powerful the Primordial races are?!' He wondered. The pain in his aching muscles was slowly ebbing and his body was recuperating, allowing him to get up from the ground.
While Kiat was getting up from the ground, and then flew out of the huge crater, Jason noticed that his soul fusion with Scorpio was crumbling before he perceived the transmitted thoughts of his soulbond.
The thoughts were rushed and confusing, but Jason was able to grasp the core of it.
This caused him to halt in his tracks as his conscience entered the soul world in an instant.
'What, your cultivation will be destroyed?!?' He only thought in utterly dumbfounding before his eyes fell on a golden wandering soul around the size of his palm running around the soul world core.
Blinking his eyes, he felt a shudder running down his spine before he bent down to look at Scorpio.
"You…really lost all your cultivation…"
He was not sure how to feel about his dear soulbond losing all his strength and prowess and only stared at him gloomily while Scorpio tried to convey that his cultivation would have been destroyed by him sooner or later, either way.
As such, Jason did not feel guilty anymore as he knew that the wandering soul didn't lie to him.
It was just weird to see Scorpio in the small form because it made him recall their time together when the little soulbond had just been a Miniature Parascor.
While caressing the little scorpion, Jason was happy to see that he was doing fine, and that he was not about to die a second time.
With that in mind, he left the soul world once again, and flew into the air.
The energy Jason used up was slowly being replenished and by using the moonlight, holy, and nature affinity in order to enhance the healing affinity, Jason's blistered skin was healing rapidly.
Thus, after half an hour had passed he looked like he had never even fought the gruesome battle.
Jennifer had already returned to them, staring daggers at the two.
Meanwhile, Jason and Kiat had finished their talk about how long Jason was likely to require to change the coordinates of a world bridge.
They stayed silent and didn't utter a word about their fight, acting as if it had never happened, leading Jennifer to the misunderstanding that Kiat might be embarrassed about the way the fight had ended.
However, this was not the case, at all.
In fact, the Sacred Elvyr was quite proud that he had been able to fight against a Primordial.
It had been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so he didn't regret his loss and was happy to have received the chance to do so.
Because of that, the loss didn't irk him all that much.
Obviously, Kiat was not unfazed by his loss, but it was not as if he could have done anything against it, to begin with.
Jason had just grown up too fast, into a type of monster nobody would want to face as their enemy.
Though he had never encountered any other Primordials before, Kiat could tell that Jason was not someone who would ever give up on his goals or aspirations.
His stubbornness was fearsome, and so was his will to fight.
Just recalling Jason's appearance at the end of the battle when he had used his secret trump was already enough for Kiat to shudder.
"I guess we should leave soon. Otherwise, the restoration team will start questioning us about why the continent looks even worse than the Queen reported earlier!"
Kiat didn't want to get into more trouble than he already was.
As such, he wanted to leave quickly.
Other than that, the Sacred Elvyr was somewhat unwilling to part ways with Jason.
After all, he didn't believe that he would meet Jason ever again.
The chances were slim, which caused Kiat to feel like their fight had been far more important than initially thought and a memory to cherish.
'How come I miss him already? It's not like I should really be bothered about him. We didn't even spend much time together…why do I feel like a clingy lover?!?'
Shaking his head, Kiat decided to end their farewell quickly.
Unfortunately, he had been ordered to bring Jason and Jennifer to Linarium as it would be the least suspicious for Jason to modify a world bridge temporarily.
They had yet to face any issues with the Primordials, and it seemed like Celestia Yaldra had done something to hide Jason's True Soul awakening.
But it was only a matter of time before they would get wind of everything.
And when that happened, it would be best to have the least pieces of evidence that lead to Jason.
As such, if Jason were to return to this planet, more proofs of his existence and his connection to both Celestia Yaldra and the Sacred Elvyr would be unveiled.
Days passed by before they reached Linarium, and the specific world bridge Jason was able to use.
Looking at the blue-liquid circle-shaped portal, Jason couldn't help but smile lightly.
His eyes were able to perceive every single rune that was hidden within the liquid, and their connection to each other, function and even the time each of them had materialized was clearly identifiable to him.
The sheer mass of information that flashed through his eyes was frightening, but Jason didn't miss a single bit of it and absorbed everything like a wet sponge.
Everything was stored in his eyes, allowing him to review and assess it whenever he wanted.
And that was extremely helpful, considering that he had to digest the information slowly.
Even by reading books, Jason could now simply look at an entire page before continuing as the entire page was imprinted in his eyes' memory.
It was weird because his brain was not memorizing everything at once, but it was his eyes doing so!
Since the True Soul awakening, many things had changed, and from the looks of it, his eyes had transformed the most, undergoing severe and radical changes.
'Somehow, I don't really believe that my eyes are simple Emperor Eyes anymore.' He thought, only to chuckle lightly before another thought popped up,
'It is not like they've ever been ordinary, let alone just Emperor Eyes. My mom must have had Emperor Eyes, but mine are…mixed…'
He had no answer to the question of what to call his eyes or what they even were.
However, what he knew was that the time of his revenge was nearing.
And Jason would settle for nothing less than the blood of the culprits that had caused the grief and agony, he, his soulbonds, and many other beings had to endure just because of their selfish desire to conquer and kidnap Agrans on Argos!
