God's Eyes

Jason could only smile when he saw how curious the pretty woman, with her long and slender legs brown hair, eyes, and pretty features, was

"Hello Arya, nice to meet you, my name is Jason. You're right, I'm not that old!"

After that, he turned back to his friends, ignoring Arya's question about his age.

He had no intention to talk with Arya because he was more curious about what had happened to his friends during the last few months.

Nine months had passed since then and lots of events should have happened.

They had liquefied a few more drops of mana, but compared to his advancement, theirs was almost negligible.

Even if their advancement speed was fast, Jason was even faster in liquefying the compressed liquefied drops of mana than his friends could liquefy common drops of mana.

Nevertheless, the first thing he did was to introduce his masters and Emily to everyone before Shane and would talk to the Shiabi clan's patriarch, proposing their support.

At that moment, the middle-aged man, who was the captain of the earlier combat unit, Jason's masters and Emily had encountered, entered the clan hall, Jason noticed something weird.

He stopped chatting with his friends for a moment as his attention was drawn to the middle-aged man who started to talk with the patriarch that had just entered the clan hall from a different entrance.

After half a minute, both the patriarch and the middle-aged man looked in their direction which led Jason to retrace Artemis' wings before they disintegrated as Artemis left his mana core.

'What's going on?' Jason was confused for a short moment before he noticed that the middle-aged man rushed towards them, followed by the Shiabi clan's patriarch.

He looked at Yune for a moment, astonished to see him and his friends next to a black haired youth and his presumed masters.

A few seconds passed and the whole group stared at the Shiabi clan patriarch, who had already scanned through everyone's mana core, as he turned towards Shane and Dalia.

He was unable to see through their mana core which was interested and not something he encountered often

"Greetings, I don't think we're acquainted with each other. I'm the Shiabi clan patriarch, Myrl Shaibi, and want to sincerely thank Sir and Madame for helping our combat unit.

This reduced the number of casualties drastically! Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say this, but I would like to request something... The Ifrytor and Ifry regained their consciousness, and we were about to question them. Unfortunately, both said that they would only talk if the person who caught them is present!

I hope this is not too much of a request but I hope Sir or Madame can follow me. This is very important and we might be able to procure important information!"

When Shane and Dalia heard this, they looked at each other a little dumbfounded before they turned to Jason, who remained unmoved as Emily began to laugh out loud.

This was unexpected, however, Jason had to suppress his laughter too.

The Shaibi clan patriarch thought that Shane or Dalia had caught the Ifrytor and Ifry, while it was in fact Jason, who had done so.

Unfortunately, Emily's laughter was inappropriate for such a serious topic which was the reason for Jason to suppress laughing out.

As such, she was eyed weirdly, and it was only when Dalia covered her disciple's mouth with her own hand that Emily notices that something was wrong.

Shane and the captain of the combat unit were about to clear the misunderstanding when Jason had already stepped forward as he said

"I caught them, not my masters. Where do I have to go?"

Milan, Isga, and Yune were astonished when they heard that Jason had caught an Ifrytor and Ifry, but both Milan and Isga thought that Jason's high soul amplification might be what made it possible for him to achieve this feat.

If they would have known that Jason was currently walking around without receiving any amplification in his strength, they wouldn't believe a single word about him being able to catch someone from a foreign race.

The middle-aged captain was about to say something, only to be intercepted by the Shaibi clan's patriarch.

"But...the Ifrytor has already liquefied 100 drops of mana, and entered the Grandmagus rank! You have liquefied four drops of mana!

Don't lie to me! I don't like being played around!"

Myrl turned back to Shane and  Dalia, still  in the opinion that one of  them had caught the Ifrytor and Ifry, only for Shane to say

"I'm sorry to say this, but my disciple really caught them…"

At that time, the captain of the combat unit was finally able to speak up as he said

"Patriarch! I was just about to say this...This youngster was the one who caught both the Ifrytor and Ifry...and they want to see him."

After that, he whispered

"Even the Ifrytor wants to speak, but only with this young man and a translator of the Ariyor race..."

The only ones who were able to retain calm were Jason, his masters, and Emily, while the Shiabi clan patriarch, Yune, and the others stared at Jason in shock. 

"You…defeated a Grandmagus rank Ifrytor…? When we left the Mythic Garden you've been at the Master rank…" 

Milan mumbled while Isga and Yune couldn't help but silently agree. Arya who had just met Jason stared at him with the same thought lingering in her mind as everyone else. 

'How can someone with 4 drops of liquefied mana defeat a Grandmagus with 100 drops? Someone from a foreign race at that!!' 

It was hard to comprehend as Shane, who wanted to calm down everyone, said

"My disciple has strong soulbonds that enhance his physical strength greatly. His soul awakening was great too. The number of liquefied drops of mana might be important for others but not for someone with a good soul awakening. There are other ways to augment one's strength, right? A fortified soul conjunction for example! "

Shane wanted to protect Jason by revealing the secrets that had already been exposed to others. 

As long as his identity as someone with the blood of the Celestia race remained hidden, everything was fine! 

He would even retort to exposing his real identity as Shane Blair if it was required. 

This might not be problematic as long as he remained within the Shiabi clan, but there were too many clans that hated him, for whatever reason they had. 

In the end, Shane couldn't even explain why most big clans loathed him. The only thing he did was to annihilate one clan. He didn't even massacre the descendants of the big clans that had been at the Shore clan headquarters at that time! 

This would have been a good reason for him to be pursued by a greater number of big clans but Shane didn't do anything to them! 

Myrl just nodded his head and decided to think about the youth's talent later as he said 

"The Ifrytor and Ifry are locked in a small prison which the Ariyor race has constructed. You don't have to be worried about anything. Someone from the Ariyor race will meet you there and translate everything you and the Ifrytor say.

Other than that, it would be great if you can figure out some information from the Ifry too. Like how they have been contacted by the Ifrytor race and what kinds of benefits they've received in return!"

Jason nodded his head, ignoring the shocked expressions his friends had as he said

"I'm ready! If there is nothing else to do, I can meet the Ifrytor and Ifry immediately!"
