God's Eyes

Jason went into the dome again where he took out the five-star corpses to take out their incomplete cores before storing them again.

After replenishing his mana he relaxed for a short time before he entered the wild zone again.

It was only 1 pm and he had still roughly 24 hours left to improve his combat skills, experience and to earn a little pocket money, including cores for Artemis.

While supervising the battle of the youth that were at least a year younger than him, Jason noticed that his combat abilities were already on par with them but still not good enough.

His familiarity with the dagger was already decent while his innate combat ability was definitely above average.

However, some things could only be learned through experience.

Jason decided to hunt larger two-star wild beasts groups in order to improve his observance ability by another notch, even if it was already above average.

Fighting against ten two-star wild beasts would be more difficult than fighting a small group of four-star wild beasts or a single five-star wild beast, except for their overwhelming strength.

Jason had to be careful during his fights with either faction.

*

Hours passed and he sustained only some small cuts after being overwhelmed by numerous beasts but he prevented serious injuries by forming small layers of mana around the spot that were attacked.

It was almost dark when he came back to his tent where Jason did his daily routine including the Heaven's Hell technique.

He was quite happy as he had accomplished his designated ytask faster than expected.

After writing a short message to Greg he went into his sleeping bag and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Before the first sunlight lightened up the plains, Jason was woken up by an overwhelming feeling of happiness when he felt something fluffy on his face.

Knowing that it was Artemis he immediately opened his eyes and cuddled with her for a few minutes before he stood up.

Her injury was already completely healed which made Jason happy.

Furthermore, sensing the constant increase of mana inside her blood, Jason began to ponder if he should give her some more incomplete beast cores or not.

He had many left but he wasn't sure when he would be able to enter the wild zone again to farm more and there was a small problem.

He had only around 20.000 credits left and many beast corpses to sell but with Artemis' unsatiable hunger, Jason would need to have a talk with Greg later.

Greg told him that school would start in around two weeks and Jason wasn't exactly sure how long their trip to the designated city would take.

Jason knew that they had to travel for quite some time to reach the A-grade city, because they avoided dangerous magic beast zones.

The time they needed to travel from their c-grade city to Cyro would be at least 4 days with a decent vehicle.

Maybe Jason could enter the wild zone for the remaining 10 days to hunt three and four-star beasts for their cores.

Thinking about his shortage of money or more likely lack of incomplete cores, Jason entered the soul world to complete his Heaven's Hell training before he went into the plains wild zone with Artemis circling above him.

When it was 11 am Jason entered the dome again to dismantle his tent and store it away.

Afterward, the previously ordered shuttle arrived, which Jason entered, with its final destination at the Fler family mansion.

It would take around 40 minutes and decided to practice the Heaven's Hell technique again as his soul energy was already replenished.

The pain after practicing the Heaven's Hell technique was still horrifying but somehow Jason grew used to it over the last two weeks.

Arriving at the address Greg told him, Jason noticed that he entered the noble district which was directly next to the center area, where the government, important companies, the Beast Pagoda, and large shopping centers were situated.

He saw huge yards with many exotic plants and flowers all around the district, causing Jason to feel astonished, as he could see mana radiating from some of these plants.

Overall one could say that the yard radiated dense mana that was even better than the mana outside the dome within the one-star wild zone.

The noble district wasn't even remotely comparable to the outer areas of the city, as the Fler family's yard had probably more than enough space to construct a few skyscrapers on it where tens of thousand tenants could live in.

Looking around, Jason saw a three-story tall mansion in the center of the plot, built with white marble and many other exquisite materials.

Calculating the prices of the materials and the cost for the plot including the unknown plants, Jason's heart ached.

For normal people, it wasn't even possible to purchase a plot inside C-grade cities.

One would need to have to be nobility or earned glory points, which were equivalent to humanities achievements in order to receive the permission to purchase land or larger property.

While Jason admired the gigantic yard and the luxurious looking mansion, the doors were opened by a young long brown-haired girl who was probably slightly older than him.

She looked at him with a slightly cold face which surprised Jason a little bit.

Wearing a white summer dress, she looked incredibly beautiful but Jason knew who she was.

It was Greg′s sister Malia and Jason sensed that she didn't like him as she avoided to have eye contact with him while trying to look cool-headed.

He wasn't sure why she avoided him but she came slowly closer, gesturing him to follow her

She didn't even say hello and Jason thought back at the time of Greg's soul-awakening when she had to step back with a terrified expression after looking into his eyes from a very close distance.

`Nevermind...maybe she is shy or something like that.` Jason didn't worry about it and he disregarded any ill-intention, as he wasn't aware of the shock he brought Malia.

Jason's senses didn't betray him as Malia was truly scared to look into his eyes.

She remembered clearly how intimidated she was when she looked into his deep, cold golden eyes and Malia was scared to get devoured if she dared to look into them once again.

But even so, she was too prideful to say something like that out loud, so she had to keep a calm expression in front of him.

Jason followed Malia quietly and both of them didn′t say a single word which caused a awkward atmosphere around them.

However, after entering the mansion, he was way too fascinated about the furniture and interior of the mansion that he completely disregarded the awkward atmosphere and Malia′s fear.

They kept walking for some time until he saw a familiar youth sitting on a couch inside a huge living room.

The whole living room was probably a few times bigger than a basketball field and Jason wondered why someone needed so much space.

Seeing Jason, Greg jumped up as he walked fast but steady towards him.

Jason noticed that Greg′s muscles became more apparent and firmer while he grew at least a few centimeters in size.

One could say that Greg was already a walking bodybuilder and Jason admired his nice body one could see through the clothes.

Greeting each other with a firm handshake Jason also scanned Greg′s mana core, only to get shocked by what he saw.

Not only did his rank increase from the 2nd Adept-rank to the 3rd Adept rank within a few weeks, but his mana core size also grew by a noticeable size.

Greg was still at the lower levels of the Adept rank and not an Intermediate Adept but with his amplification from his soulbond, he would probably be on par with a average 4th Adept rank.

That would be a great achievement and Jason felt happy for Greg.

Calculating that the bull calf grew up to be a low evolved beast until now and shared around 5%-10% of its strength, if not more.

As such it was only natural that Greg′s mana core would also grow.

Evolved ranked beasts were comparable to human expert ranks and 5%-10% was already comparable to at least one more likely two adept levels.

Taking another glance at Greg′s mana core, it was more likely that Greg received a 10%+ share which caused Jason to nod approving, as Greg′s soul gave him a good quote.

But it was still not comparable to his own 30+% shared amount, he received from his still incomplete soul world.

Greg saw Jason′s golden eyes shining lightly and when Jason said

"Congratulations," he began to smile lightly.

Loosening up their handshake, Greg looked directly into Jason's eyes and Malia who saw this, tensed up subconsciously, thinking about the worst-case scenario which didn′t happen.

Greg noticed a white fluffy ball on Jason's shoulder that suddenly began to move.

Opening her eyes, Artemis′ black button-like eyes gazed at Greg who stepped back surprised.
