God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Jason noticed that the youth regained his consciousness and looked at him to see if the poison inflicted any severe injuries or if the black origin flame expelled the poison before something serious could happen.

The latter seemed to be the case and Jason smiled faintly towards the youngest member of the small group he rescued.

He seemed to be energetic when he sat up a few moments after waking up when he saw that the two women in his group were half-naked.

However, before he could do anything he saw Jason wearing a mask that covered his face and white wings spreading from his back.

As such, the youth couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Nevertheless, he was worried about his colleagues and tried to shout out loud

"What did you do to them??"

Unfortunately, the youth didn't notice that he had no energy left within him which turned the loud shout into a quiet exclamation.

It was not a surprise to feel weird about the sudden situation, in which the small group of four young prodigies was currently.

They escaped death without knowing how because they were unconscious, only to wake up in front of a masked, winged man, and all of them were half-naked at that.

"I carried all of you away from the cursed Hell Spider when it was distracted and I tried to expel the poison inside your bodies."

Jason's answer was simple but the youth in front of him didn't expect someone to become a Samaritan inside the Mythic Garden rift which was the reason for him to straightforwardly ask

"What do you want from us in return??"

At this question, Jason couldn't help but grin faintly. It was not like he wanted to demand anything grand from them, but after thinking about it for a moment, there was something he had to acquire!

"The only thing I need is to get to know more about the Mythic Garden. There are so many dangerous beasts which I didn't expect to see here… Furthermore most of them are cursed beings. As such acquiring information has the most value for me right now!"

The youth was still suspicious about the masked man, but upon looking down at himself and at the others, he could tell that Jason dispelled the poison within them because a thin layer of inactive poisonous liquid and faint traces of impurities pressed on their body.

In the end, it was difficult to carry four bodies at the same time while it should have been even harder to expel the poison within them.

As such the youth lowered his guard as he was about to give Jason what he wanted when the remaining members of his group woke up.

Jason decided to take a few steps back to let them talk with each other while observing them in order to see if there was anything wrong with them and how much strength they had left to see if he could separate from them again.

Before that, Jason tried to figure out to whom the spatial rings and the storage device he picked up belonged only to see that everyone in their group was still wearing their spatial rings and quantum bracelets.

'Huh?' Upon seeing this, Jason couldn't help but feel weird.

'Did I just accidentally steal something from the dead?'

This wasn't something uncommon but not exactly what Jason wanted to do when he rescued the group of four.

Scratching the back of his head, Jason couldn't help but smile weirdly, covered behind his mask, thinking that he would take the content of the spatial rings and storage device.

'It might have been an accident, but they don't need the stuff within anymore because they're dead. As such I can use them!'

Jason also pondered whether he should return to the forest's center to pick up the remaining spatial rings and storage devices.

However, in the end, he decided against it because it was too dangerous.

He couldn't be sure when the Crimson-death Hell Spider would return which would be fatal!

Staring at the group of four in front of him, he couldn't help but think that they were way too relaxed after escaping death by a hair breadth.

Shaking his head, Jason decided that it would be time for him to depart after knowing that they were fine.

"Sorry to disturb this reunion but if there is nothing else, I'll depart!"

The four team members turned around at once. Only now did the youth remember that Jason was still there as he quickly said.

"I still haven't answered your question! We don't know much about the Mythic Garden because we were sent by our families to this place without getting to know everything. It's obvious that we were supposed to make ties with the Jual family, but I think everyone sends here has the same task!

The only thing we could prepare for was to gather bloody nightmare flowers.

Other than that we received enough information about one place with a few blessed beasts. I don't think it would be too much to ask for if you want to know the place with blessed beasts as thanks for rescuing us!"

While the other young man and the older young woman looked at him in suspicion because they didn't know what happened after they lost consciousness, the younger woman who was conscious for the longest time was relaxed when she approved the other youth's proposal.

In the end, everyone accepted it, but what Jason said next baffled them a little bit

"Rather than a place with blessed beasts, I would love to find a place with many cursed beasts...like a lot!"

Jason understood the reason for most clans to send their prodigies to the Mythic Garden, and it was not only to make ties with the Jual Clan.

These clans and larger families wanted their descendants to bind a blessed beast and apparently also to pluck bloody nightmare flowers that seemed to have a greater value than he expected them to have.

'If prodigies from larger families and clans were asked to pluck flowers, their worth has to be enormous...but they're only grade-2 ingredients and I can't think of an extremely expensive potion one can concoct out of bloody nightmare flowers…'

This was definitely weird because Jason was sure that his knowledge about the basic lifestyle occupation was wide and firm.

As such, he couldn't help but feel a doubt arising when he heard that the small group of young prodigies that stood in front of him was asked to pluck the nightmare flowers that weren't even worth close to one star note.

The young men and women were astonished about Jason's demand.

It was weird to ask for the location with many cursed beasts which caused them to remain silent for a moment when the young woman that had stared at him the whole time said.

"There is a place I was told to avoid because there are too many cursed beasts… but there are also extremely strong beasts among them so I recommend avoiding this area too"

She explained where he had to go, or rather where he shouldn't venture into.

Yet, Jason couldn't help but feel happy because the place the young woman guided him to seemed to be a reclusive area.

This would make things much easier for him because there wouldn't be many other young prodigies!

Jason was about to depart when he noticed that they were at a high altitude as he asked.

"You guys don't need my help to descend to the ground, right?"

Hearing this question, the young women who put on a new set of clothes after they washed away the thin layer of poison and impurities couldn't help but chuckle as the older one said

"We don't need a babysitter. You just found us at a bad timing…"

Nodding his head Jason spread his wings when he suddenly asked

"How much are the bloody nightmare flowers even worth, if your families and clans requested you to pluck them? I thought they were not even worth 500,000 Credits?"

The oldest young men who heard this couldn't help but sigh

"If they were only worth 500,000 Credits, we wouldn't even take a single step closer to the center of the forest, than necessary! That price is already old. It hasn't been that long but the demand for bloody nightmare flowers increased manifold and each flower is worth several million credits according to their quality!"

This was astonishing and somehow not surprising to Jason who assumed something.

After he heard the young man's answer, Jason nodded his head and thanked them before wishing them a fruitful remaining time within the Mythic Garden before he jumped down the tree branch to depart.
