God's Eyes

Chapter 654: That’s cheating

Even if they were sometimes not seriously sparring, Jason was, in most cases, going all in, using his utmost efforts to win.

Without using everything one had up to their sleeves, they would never know how strong they were, and if it might be a stupid idea to fight specific opponents.

Furthermore, Jason hated losing, and even more so after not giving everything he could.

With that thought in mind, Jason’s will to continue fighting, and to defeat Jennifer increased substantially, intensifying the ferocious, wild aura he released.

Merged with icy coldness, both his aura and the pressure he was releasing could be controlled freely, which allowed Jason to realise something he had never noticed before.

Normally, the Celestia aura was neutral, and without an affinity, but now while being fused this had changed. Now, he could use the Frozen Flame and his ice affinity, without an insignificant mana consumption.

This free usage included the entire range at which his aura and pressure were released.

Thus, Jason let out a sudden roar that shook the surroundings as he released a terrifying cold, enveloping his entire body with a pale sky blue hue.

His eyes with the exact same color were glowing brightly, but it was only when Jason’s head was halfway turned, that Jennifer perceived this.

She had almost reached him, and there was a gap of fewer than 20 meters between them.

However, this distance suddenly felt as if it were kilometers to her as Jason’s eyes brightened up.

Out of nowhere, a gigantic glacier of ice emerged between the two of them, creating a huge ice wall that she had to cross in order to reach Jason. 

The glacier kept enlarging, pushing towards Jennifer. 

She was forced to slow herself down while slashing at the terrifyingly huge mass of ice in front of her.

The cold radiating from the ice had unique freezing properties within it, and Jennifer realised that if she were to maintain contact with it using her bare hands, she would slowly start to freeze.

And this included the time she would use the energy within her body to try expelling the freezing property.

This didn’t shock her, but it was astonishing as she was forced to use her own affinities to a certain degree, enlarging the darkness and light blade within her hand.

Only then was she able to hack and slash at the glacier to reveal what ought to be behind it.

Yet, what she saw was not Jason, but only a sculpture with his mana intertwined, causing her to look around in shock.

Instinctively, Jennifer looked upwards, expecting that Jason would attack from the air, just like she did.

However, instead of doing the obvious, she realised too late that Jason was not afraid of facing her head-on without the need to play tricks.

Jason wouldn’t say out loud because his entire childhood had forced him to use tricks to win against his opponents in fights he was not ought to win.

In that period, Jason noticed that most people with a higher cultivation base, and even combat prowess, expected their opponents to surprise attack them from behind or at an unexpected angle.

It was exactly because of this that Jason was using his utmost efforts to not do the obvious as it was in most cases not even assumed.

Because of that, the moment he had manifested the glacier, he had created a sculpture of himself, using a fraction of his mana, only to exert the Floating Sky movement technique to quickly move around the glacier.

Thanks to this high speed, and Jennifer’s distraction, he was able to appear below her only moments after she had destroyed the glacier.

Appearing below her, Jason immediately pushed himself from the ground, trying to approach Jennifer, who was still in the air, without the need to use his wings.

Ready to brandish Byakur that was seemingly craving for blood, Jason used every ounce of strength within his body to push himself from the ground.

It was exactly at that moment when Jennifer looked down, only to see him rushing straight towards her with an excited smile on his face.

Unable to evade him as she was mid-air, in addition to the extremely high pace at which he was approaching her, Jennifer could only turn to the side, preventing the most dangerous outcome, while using her two swords to deflect the attack.

However, instead of being worried about the clash, Jennifer was confident in her capabilities which made her release both her holy and darkness affinity at the same time, enveloping her body tightly, increasing every aspect of her.

Without her realising, the two repulsively affinities that had been released were working together, amplifying Jennifer’s mixture of three cultivation energies.

Thus, her strength increased once again, giving Jason a hard time as their eyes locked.

When this happened, a radiant smile emerged on Jason’s face, which made Jennifer extremely uncomfortable.

Had they not been fighting, this would have been different, but because they were currently in a fight, his smile worried her.

Unfortunately, her worry was already too late, as Jason released the combined force of his Petrification curse, the race specific weakening curse that both hailed from Petri, and the Abyssal effect, which was something Jason had for a long time.

Combining the attack of his curses and abilities by using his sheer will to battle, he saw them amplify each other, working together as a single attack that infiltrated Jennifer’s mind and entire being in an instant.

Breaking through the protection mechanisms of her mind, which should have been extremely strong owing to her cultivating her mind in the path of Spiral, the attack spread through Jennifer like a wildfire.

Even though Jason wanted to emerge victoriously, he had instinctively restricted the power used into the Abyssal effect, fearing that something might go wrong, once again.

He didn’t want another incident to happen as the last one had already been shocking enough.

Nevertheless, the sheer power behind his fully empowered curses, amplified by the Abyssal effect, were strong enough to hit Jennifer to the core.

First, she stiffened, only to realise that her entire body had undergone a weakening before her mind blanked out for a moment as she was thrown into an endless darkness.

Owing to her cultivation in the path of Spiral and Jennifer’s unrestricted cultivation base at the peak of the Prismar stage, her mind was protected in multiple layers.

As such, she was only inside the endless darkness for less than a quarter of a second..

Despite that, Jennifer felt like dozens of years had passed, barely realising that she was still fighting with Jason, the moment he had appeared right in front of her.

Yet, even the millisecond of imprisonment in the endless darkness made her feel thoroughly confused which caused her to instinctively release the restriction on her cultivation base.

Thus, before Jason was even able to brandish Byakur, Jennifer accidentally unleashed the entire power of a being with three vessels at the peak of the Prismar stage, targeting him for a quarter of a second.

The pressure around him increased, and only a moment later, he was flung back to the ground where he came from.

However, as opposed to earlier, his speed increased several times as he crashed right into the battle arena, which caused him to spit out blood as his sight blurred.

“That’s cheating!” He barely voiced out, only for Jennifer to regain her senses as she looked at Jason in astonishment.

“Huh, what?”
