Chapter 924 - Attacking
Having entered the territory which was home to several types of beast hordes, Jason could easily conclude what his soul world core was feeling for them.
After all, most of the beasts in the said territory had turned into wandering souls.
This was also why the missions he had chosen requested him to broadly categorize the entire population of beasts residing in the territory in two parts.
Jason decided that he would simply decimate half of the population inside the territory, but before that he had figured out something.
Being able to sense three different types of beasts near him, Jason had presumed that his soul world would vibrate wildly.
Yet, instead of that, he felt something weird.
His soul world core vibrated just by looking in a particular direction indicating that something about the beast he was able to see owing to his great eyesight had to be special.
With that in mind, he wondered how this particular beast was different from the others.
Thus, by inserting moonlight mana and divine energy in his Emperor Eyes, Jason wanted to find out the truth.
There had to be a particular difference between the three types of wandering souls he could see.
As such, Jason didn't directly attack anyone.
Instead, he focused on his short analysis that concluded a particular thing.
'Their bodies are made of different types of energy?? One has normal soul force, and the other two types of beasts use the energy that the Soa crystal harbors?'
This realization was interesting, but it didn't really help Jason to figure out more about his soul world core.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt just indicated that he was drawn to the normal soul force, while his soul world core didn't seem to adore the wandering souls that used the enhanced type of version.
In Jason's opinion, this was too much of a contrast in comparison to what his soul world thought of the energy of the Soa crystal.
Though it didn't seem to like the wandering souls for some reason, his soul world core wanted to readily absorb more of the energy in the Soa crystal.
'Maybe the difference in energy means that they were awakened long ago, possibly mutated, or that the normal soul force indicated that it was a natural awakening as a wandering soul?
This would mean that the wandering souls whose body is made of enhanced soul force have been artificially awakened!'
He was not sure if his assumption was correct, but even after sharing his thoughts with Jennifer, Jason was unable to figure out the truth.
As such, he thought that it was fine to figure out more later, or possibly even when he was closer to the wandering souls they were supposed to decimate.
Taking a deep breath, Jason calmed down before he nodded at Jennifer, who unfurled her two pairs of wings from behind her back.
She was ready as well and without any hesitation, she shot in the direction where the most energy was gathered at one point.
Following her, Jason immediately released God's Halo.
It disappeared from his finger, only to reappear behind him before enlarging, taking on its usual size.
This allowed Jason to use the stored energy from within it with much more precision and ease.
He presumed that it had to do with the most compatible place for God's Halo to be located in order to work with it in the most convenient way.
Taking that into consideration, Jason's first plan was to figure out how powerful he had become.
Thus, he circulated pure divine energy through his body before unleashing his Stigma and the Celestia aura.
By tightly enveloping himself with the Celestia aura, Jason sensed that his entire body was being enhanced and refined.
A light smile appeared on his face to realize that as he used divine energy to exert the Hermes Celeration movement technique.
Given the enhancements he had used in order to reach the highest possible speed, Jason knew that he could allow one of his soulbonds to enter his mana core, or even fuse with him.
Yet, instead of doing that, he was eager to see the results of his breakthrough and secondary bloodline awakening.
As such, he jumped to the ground, only to exert the vast majority of his physical strength, enhanced by all the reinforcements he had in order to push himself from the ground.
This caused the soil on which he landed to fly all around, shooting to the air, while Jason catapulted himself towards the beasts he could clearly see.
The wandering souls in Jason and Jennifer's view were a horde of rhinoceros.
From the looks of it, they probably had strong defenses because their outlines looked almost like their skin was made of thick metal plates.
It was just Jason's point of view as the outlines looked rough and uneven.
Yet, that was something he shouldn't really care about because they were about to die soon, either way.
With that in mind, he shot past Jennifer, before emerging in front of the closest rhinoceros just a moment later.
Byakur manifested in his hand, while a strong gust of wind brushed towards all the surrounding beasts that were clearly astonished about Jason's sudden appearance.
After all, it was not normal for them to see someone appear out of nowhere, let alone that someone's speed created strong gusts of wind.
This was a bad sign, and sensing the tremendous energy that radiated from Jason, in addition to his ice-cold gaze, they realized that their life was on the line.
Thus they roared out in unison, attempting to intimidate Jason using their numerical advantage.
However, it was at this moment that Byakur began to gleam brightly, radiating the divine energy Jason had inserted into it.
From the looks of it, the inserted divine energy was changing the color of Byakur's blade, making it seem white. Just a moment later, the blade enlarged as Jason slashed at the rhinoceros right in front of him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVibrating in a subtle manner that was almost untraceable, Byakur's blade cut through the wandering soul as if it was made out of butter.
It met only a little resistance when the blade neared the most sensitive area of the rhinoceros' body.
Yet, instead of holding back, Jason utilized a little bit more force to cut through the Low Ascendion stage wandering soul as if it was not even worth being considered an opponent.
Without a backward glance, he marched forward as the corpse of the wandering soul fell to the ground with a loud thud. Its shape was still intact even though the energy was slowly trickling out of the body.
Advancing ahead without a second of hesitation, Jason appeared right in the center of his opponents, only to thrust Byakur at the next opponent.
Simultaneously, he used the divine energy from the God's Halo in order to supply Solaris' flame with it.
Thus, the black flame of Solaris burned with an intensity they had never felt before as his entire body was enveloped with black flames.
He looked like a hedgehog with pointy spikes all over his body for a second.
However, it was only a second later that Jason released the black flame spikes that were overly compressed and radiated a terrifyingly searing heat.
Hearing the painful squeals from around him, Jason knew that the majority of beasts had been hit and killed in a single attack.
The sizzling of the black flames that spread through the body of the wandering souls was clearly noticeable. It was just seconds later that he took a deep breath, pulling Byakur from the corpse of the beast he had just killed.
Turning around, Jason couldn't help but smile dryly, as he noticed that his black flame spikes had truly killed every single foe.
He had only thought about hitting and injuring them, but oddly enough all of the rhinoceros had been hit in their most sensitive area, killing them at once.
Thus, not a single black flame spike had missed, giving him to think about the next steps.
Meanwhile, Jennifer arrived next to him as she grumbled.
"I know that you want to show off your strength and your precise control over Solaris' flames even if you don't have to…but can I test my strength too…please?!"
