God's Eyes

Since he had awoken his bloodline, Jason had yet to find someone to spar with, and Haepha gave him the best possible way to do so.

As such he could hardly decline her offer, even if she were to give him nothing in return.

Shane and Dalia were only looking at their disciple who had begun to smile brightly at the thought of fighting against Haepha.

This caused them to frown a little bit as Emily blurted out.

"He looks like a battle maniac!" 

This seemed to be the case and Jason's masters couldn't help but think that Jason was really similar to a battle maniac!

Jason didn't hear what Emily said, but if he had heard her it would be difficult to deny the bitter truth.

He liked to fight others and compare his strength to them!

Absorbing mana made him happy and the sensation of becoming stronger was addicting!

When Haepha heard that Jason accepted her proposal she walked down the terrace before turning to the left where a simple, yet large empty area could be seen.

She placed the cube that was still in her hand on the ground before activating it.

After that, a thin translucent membrane enveloped the empty space Haepha entered.

Jason, who saw all of that, couldn't help but become interested in the cube.

However, he was more expectant to spar against Haepha and he followed her quickly.

He wasn't wearing his combat clothes, but they could hardly protect him from attacks of a Prismar stage with four small, solidified prismarine crystals either way!

As such it was useless to think about wearing combat armor and Jason went into a combat stance without thinking too much about the possible injuries he could sustain in this fight.

They were currently in an isolated area and Jason knew that he could give his all to fight against Haepha. Nevertheless, he didn't plan to unseal the race specific weakening curse that nullified his soul world's amplification.

With that in mind, he was currently fighting with his own capabilities without relying on his soulbonds strength to become stronger!

Jason had been thinking about the fact that he could adjust the race specific weakening curse his soul world core was harboring.

This meant that he could attain a soul amplification between 0% as the lowest possible or a soul amplification of 40% which was what his soul world would share with him under normal circumstances.

Initially, his soul world amplification was at 33% but after he had undergone his primal bloodline awakening, it had increased to 40%.

At least that was what he estimated his soul amplification to have increased to as he was unable to tell precisely.

'My vessel won't have any problems with the mana core's size, but that's not the case with my physique...I have two physically attributed soulbonds, Scorpio and Petri and I don't know how much my advanced Vessel can take…'

With that in mind, Jason thought that it might be the best way to use the fact that he could unseal the curse on his soul amplification whenever he wanted to.

Once he loosened the restriction on the curse that nullified his soul amplification, he would be able to increase his strength drastically! 

In combat stance, Jason waited for Haepha to initiate the start of the battle which she did a moment later.

However, instead of rushing forward, Haesha remained at the exact same position she was already standing without bothering about entering a defensive stance or anything like that.

'She won't restrict her strength?' Was the only thought in Jason's mind before he exerted the weightless steps technique as he rushed ahead.

At the same time, he circulated mana through his body to enhance it overall, while inserting some of it into Bakur, increasing its sharpness and durability.

Jason had yet to figure out which rune was responsible for what effect, only to see that Byakur was instinctively exerting every rune he wanted to utilize!

'Is that one perk of owning a soul weapon?'  He asked himself before he decided to postpone this thought for later.

Right now he wanted to give his best to figure out how strong he had become.

Only a moment after he rushed ahead, Jason had already crossed the short distance of 50 meters between him and Haepha as he slashed out at her.

However, even before Byakur touched Haepha, Jason sensed danger approaching him, which caused him to halt abruptly.

Jason didn't even continue the attack he had initiated as he jumped backward, only to see a whip, enveloped my electric currents shooting towards him.

Gritting his teeth, he twisted his body, barely evading the whip that was about to hit him as he perceived that the attack was not over yet.

The whip was moving freely, attacking him from all sides while Haepha was merely holding the handle of the whip, inserting mana into it.

There was nothing else she did, only inserting mana with her affinity utilized inside the whip.

She didn't even have to move an inch, and one could see a faint smile emerging on her lips.

Jason was currently trying his best to evade the whip that was moving around like a snake until his mana eyes perceived something that could be helpful!

While evading and deflecting the whip attacks that were around the Low Lique stage with around 90 drops of mana, Jason's strength reached a combat prowess of the Lique stage with around 80 drops of mana.

The difference was not much but enough to hinder Jason from attacking.

Yet, she was using an affinity that was roughly at the lowest lique stage with fewer mana drops, while Jason didn't use anything except his physical strength and a little bit mana.

This was already a good sign and without wasting anymore time he utilized several trumps he had up to his sleeves.

First, he unleashed thick, compressed mist that enveloped the area around Jason a moment later. 

After that, Haepha would have been forced to pay attention to the mana fluctuations she perceived from him.

This allowed Jason to tell that her full focus was on him.

Only a moment later, he had already terminated the connection to the ice affinity which he had utilized for a quarter of a second.

Rushing out of the mist,  he used subtle movements to evade the following whip attacking as his eyes and Haepha's meet.

At this moment, Jason noticed that it was his chance to counterattack.

Using a majority of mana that was stored within his mana core to insert it into his mana eyes, he activates their [Abyssal] effect at the same time.

Furthermore, he utilized Petri's petrification curse, his eyes harbored thanks to his soulbond inheriting him the curse, for the first time since he had obtained them.

Merging every means to attack Haepha mentally, Jason added his killing intent, which created a powerful attack that exceeded Jason's capabilities.

It wasn't painful, but Jason noticed that using a large margin of mana to insert it into his eyes, utilizing the abyssal ability of his mana eyes, exerting the petrification curse, only to merge it into one attack with his killing intent was a little bit over the top.

However, this was just the case for someone at the lower rank than he was.

His opponent was a Prismar stage with four solidified prismarine crystals after all!

As such Jason was unable to hold back.

What astonished him, was that Haepha, who had been unmoving a moment before, had to take one step back as she accidentally released more mana into the whip than she had intended to do.

She had been surprised by Jason's eyes that turned into something ancient, if not primordial, seemingly with the desire to devour her entire being. 

This surprise caused her to be unable to restrict her strength as she was already doing, and her whips attack reached the strength and speed of a 2nd rank Grandmagus at around 200 drops of mana.

It was fortunate that she had only been surprised for a short moment, otherwise, her attack's strength would have been much higher.

Jason was already in front of Haepha after she had regained her composure after being surprised by him and about to slash at her when he sensed that the whip's pace increased by a large margin.

It was easy to tell that he was unable to attack Haepha while evading the whip that was enveloped in electric currents.

As such he had to make a decision.

However, instead of stopping his attack, Jason continued to advance at Haepha while he told Solaris to use both its own and his remaining mana to manifest a compressed fireball behind his back.

Shooting out the fireball, it encountered the black whip a second later.

It exploded, decreasing Haepha's control over the whip further as the mana it was suddenly enveloped with was burning. 

Meanwhile, the exploding fireball pushed Jason further ahead, increasing the impact Byakur could execute as Haepha lifted her arm to deflect its attack.

When Jason saw this he couldn't help but think

'That's everything I can force out of her?'
