God's Eyes

Chapter 935 - Infiltration

To enter the Soa crystal mine, one had to make use of one of the two entrances.

The main entrance was enormous and allowed even the largest beasts to easily pass through it while leaving enough space for other beasts to enter it simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the other entrance was small and barely allowed three humans to enter at once.

As such, they had decided to pierce through the defensive line of the wandering beasts by using both entrances simultaneously.

While only a small margin of the entire attacking force was supposed to use the smaller entrance, the rest used the bigger entrance.

Through this, they were able to sandwich their opponents, allowing them to focus on taking out the most threatening wandering souls first.

This was the most important aspect of their battle strategy because the strongest wandering souls could eliminate the Yinar race's entire Elite with just a single attack.

Such an incident would be the worst possible outcome, which was why the Specta stage powerhouses entered the mine half a minute before anyone else.

Their energies were retracted and concealed from the senses of others in an almost perfect manner. These would be released upon encountering the strongest wandering souls.

Through the surprise attack they hoped to defeat their most threatening opponents within a few moves, but that was easier said than done.

Thus, instead of going ahead with the 30 seconds delay in mind, Jason and the three Cultivators at the Specta stage had decided to increase this time to one minute.

The small group had stayed behind with the Elite units in order to ensure their safety.

Under normal circumstances, the strongest Cultivators on their side would defeat Specta stage wandering soul within 60 seconds at the bare minimum.

In the end, this might not be the best outcome, but it was certainly enough for everyone else to feel more at ease while fighting the Ascendion stage wandering souls.

As such, once the first powerhouses entered the mine, the others listened intently to the sounds that thundered through the surrounding area only shortly afterward.

It was an indicator that the fight had started, which gave them the necessary information to focus on the released energy fluctuations instead of solely listening to the sounds.

Perceiving the Soul force fluctuations would allow them to visualize the situation that occurred farther away from them.

However, that was not necessary for Jason, who saw everything that happened in the depth of the Soa crystal mine right from where he was.

Being able to see every single fluctuation of the numerous beasts that inhabited the mine, Jason clearly understood that the situation was far more dangerous than initially expected.

The number of Specta stage wandering souls had largely been correct, with only a variation of three or four beasts in total.

That was great, but the same couldn't be said about the thousands of Ascendion stage wandering souls that were hiding underground.

He saw the outlines of Scorpions, Spiders, Centipedes, Corroded Moles, Bats, and even Goblins.

As such, Jason figured that they had built a society in which the Goblins were the biggest working force, while the other wandering souls were mostly used for mining.

At the same time, each of the beasts seemed powerful, and strong enough to fight against others at the same cultivation base as long as its survival was on the line.

Jason was not sure what to make of the scene in front of him because it made his mission to protect everyone several times harder than it had already been.

Yet, instead of focusing on the weaker wandering souls, Jason took a glance at the fight between the Yinar race's powerhouses against the stronger wandering souls.

This allowed him to clearly sense that the Cultivators on their side were more powerful owing to the wandering soul's armor which everyone seemed to be proficient at constructing around themselves.

With their combat prowess in mind, Jason could safely assume that they were winning.

Because of that, he didn't hesitate to allow Petri to enter his mana core, increasing his strength as he prepared himself to fuse with the Cursed Basilisk.

Yet, it was just a moment later that he sensed an incessant nagging ringing through his mind as one of the soulbonds that had never voiced out its desire to fuse with him, stated that it wanted to try the soul fusion.

This astonished Jason a little bit, but after thinking about it for a moment while considering the situation, he nodded his head.

Asking Petri to leave the mana core, which the Cursed Basilisk did only unwillingly, he then allowed Spyro, the Spiral Spirit, to enter his mana core.

Owing to this, his brain functions were enhanced severely, giving him the ability to think about more things at once with a faster pace.

This was great, and nearly perfect because Jason had already figured out what Spyro wanted to do with him.

'Let's do it!'

Feeling excited at the prospect of fighting alongside Spyro, he took a deep breath before allowing his mana core to form a connection with the spiral soulbond.

It was the first time for him to undergo a soul fusion with Spyro.

Compared to the natural soul fusion with his other soulbonds, Jason was not even able to explain how exactly he was feeling.

Seconds passed, but he was not sure what exactly was changing within him as everything felt similar to how it had always been.

Only a faint itch in his eyes told him that its colors had changed to a bright silver color, while his hair had taken on the same bright color as well.

They had already been silver in color, but now it was an even brighter shade that gleamed lightly.

Following that his entire body began to leak tiny droplets of a silver, semi-translucent liquid that enveloped him tightly.

A second layer of skin was added to his body, slowly covering him while the semi-translucent liquid disappeared slowly.

Turning into a full-body suit, the silver liquid suddenly shot up, transforming its shape at once as a seemingly solid armor was formed.

His seemingly ordinary combat clothes were hidden as Jason's entire being was now clad in a bright shining silver armor that attracted much attention and shone a little.

Yet, Jason couldn't really be bothered about this as Spyro's stigma manifested on Jason's body.

It connected to his first stigma but didn't appear above it.

Rather, Jason's stigma looked as if it had been enlarged once again.

Glowing brightly, the golden color of his stigma could be sensed through the silver armor.

Nevertheless, one couldn't see it, and the only thing one was able to perceive was that the Celestia aura was slowly changing, taking on a silver-tone as well.

Following that, Jason also perceived that his brain was working much faster than before, while the energies coursed through his body at a much faster pace.

In fact, it almost felt like he was able to use every single trace of energy at will, without the need to think about it.

This feeling made it look as if he was addicted.

Because of that, Jason didn't hesitate to retract his God's Halo back into the Soul world before releasing it behind his back in its usual size.

As such, a large, silver-colored halo manifested behind Jason's back with golden edges turning it even more glamorous.

Yet, the tremendous energy wave it connected to didn't overflow in the surrounding area.

Rather, the energy waves flowed inside the silver-colored armor that enveloped Jason tightly, strengthening it further while radiating tremendous pressure.

This caused everyone to look at him in doubt as goosebumps sprang all over their bodies with a single thought flashing through everyone's mind.

'Is he really only an Agran?! What a… monster!'
