God's Eyes

Chapter 857 - Encounter

When he perceived the mana fluctuations of Lux, Jason's immediate reaction was to sense it again.

They were transmuted to an extent that it took him a while to recognize them.

Nevertheless, after confirming that they did, in fact, belong to Lux, Jason couldn't help but have one thought in mind.

'Should I assassinate him right now, and leave directly afterward?'

This would be, by far, the best thing he could do in order to soothe his rage fueled heart.

However, at the same time, Jason couldn't help but feel that this was wrong.

There was no reason for him to kill Lux, except the fact that he had shot at him 10 years ago. As such, it was evident to be angry, but was that really enough for Jason to fly towards the Shiman camp, and assassin someone over a decade old trivial conflict?

In the end, Jason felt that actively searching for someone to kill at sight, and meeting on a battlefield as foes was a huge difference.

From the beginning, Jason was not inclined to kill anyone. That had changed a little bit over the last few years when he was left with no option but to kill when it was necessary, and even if it was just to make an example out of someone.

Despite that, his entire being seemed to be screaming to him, telling him not to assassinate Lux right now.

This was weird, and something that he hadn't felt before, whether it was for others he had killed without hesitation or his way to end Lux.

As such, Jason starred in the direction of the Lord of Death's abode, not sure what he should do right now.

Before making a move, he had to replenish the used up mana and divine energy, either way, but that was not something that would take an extremely long period.

Thus, he thought of making up his mind before doing something that he might regret.

He had never had second thoughts of killing Lux so he was not sure why he was hesitating right now.

"He is only at the Peak of the Prismar stage? If that's the case, his vessel shouldn't be able to allow him to reach the combat prowess of a Cultivator at the Low Ascendion stage. If he did attempt to do that it would break apart, right?"

It was Jennifer, who asked this doubt to Jason.

She was not sure if she understood the vessel theory that Jason had created in connection to the soul awakenings of the humans from Argos.

However, Jason could only nod in response to her.

His sight that was still enhanced by mana and divine energy enabled him to perceive that Lux was only at the Initial phase of the Ascendion stage, even with his soul amplification.

Either he had held back on binding more Undeads, or he was looking for stronger soulbonds to bind.

Jason believed that Lux's body must have reached its limit once he did the soul fusion with the being whose soul connection was firm enough to create a natural fusion.

Lux's soul world was huge, but his soul amplification was extremely low.

This meant that the number of soulbonds he had were already in the double-digit, but that was not really a problem in Jason's opinion.

Rather it made things much easier for him after he figured out that there was only one beast he should pay attention to.

After all, it was this beast that altered Lux's mana fluctuations the most, strengthening him substantially.

If he was not wrong, this Undead being must be the same as ten years ago, which was intriguing but also quite dangerous.

Even a decade ago, the Undead being had been an extremely powerful being that was able to grow stronger by devouring the soul of the deceased.

So now, he wasn't sure what to expect of the Undead being and its strength that must have reached a formidable level.

Being an Undead would normally bring forth many problems, but given the fact that it was able to become stronger turned most disadvantages into dust.

However, Jason was able to keep calm when he gauged that this being was most likely at the Ascendion stage.

He was not sure what rank it was, and could only take a guess.

But he knew that the moment Lux were to fuse with this beast, he would certainly reach the combat prowess of a ordinary Low Ascendion stage Cultivator.

By adding all kinds of other factors such as his scheming behavior to the mix, Jason was able to figure that Lux's strength might be on par with his combat prowess.

This intrigued Jason to the extent that he was only answering Jennifer's questions in short sentences before he approached the house of Lux.

He had barely been patient enough to replenish his mana and divine energy before marching towards Lux's house.

As he was nearing the house, Jason noticed that the vile energy of the undeads was slowly becoming denser, but that was no surprise to him as he had already expected something similar.

The lack of people in the surrounding houses was a great indicator of the possibility of Lux possessing something that made others reluctant to even come close to him.

In addition to that, the unique type of energy or Aura that permeated the surroundings were formidable and would have affected Jason if not for his determination to accomplish the task.

Jason simply ignored it without doing anything to repel it as his retracted Celestia aura was passively doing this already.

His Celestia aura was exceptionally helpful, and Jason couldn't help but smile faintly before he entered the largest house of the entire Shiman camp.

It was no clear indicator but being inside the largest house made him think that Lux probably belonged to the most talented batch of humans inside the Shiman camp.

This was weird because he didn't recall Lux as extremely talented in terms of cultivation or combat prodigy.

Yet, instead of dwelling on this thought for too long, Jason approached Lux's location with determined steps with Jennifer in tow

She was not sure what exactly Jason was trying to do, or if he had a plan, but she trusted him wholeheartedly.

As such, there was no need for her to ask anything, even after they arrived right in front of the door that was hiding Jason's target.

Strong currents radiated from the door behind which the center of the death energy was located, as well as the person Jason had been looking for.

Thus, the moment the door was opened, the distinct and malicious death energy flooded the two of them, but neither of them was forced to retreat owing to it.

Rather, the death energy was trying to envelop them before infiltrating their bodies and senses in order to draw out the life force nurturing Jason and Jennifer.

However, both of them repelled the death energy, while staring at the skinny young man, who was seated on the ground cross-legged.

His looks had changed tremendously in a decade.

Had he not been able to sense the familiar facial features and the mana fluctuations,? he wasn't sure if he would have identified Lux correctly..

Jennifer looked at Lux, with an uncertain expression, not sure whether to think that Lux looked disgusting or strong.

His frail-looking body rivaled that of a malnourished person and he appeared to have no powers at all.

Thus, Jennifer took a moment to think if he was really as strong as she had heard because the sight in front of her confused her tremendously.

Not knowing what to make of him, she looked at Jason for help but this didn't seem to be of any help.

He wore identical expressions of confusion and was staring at Lux as if he was a complete stranger.

While Jason and Jennifer had barged into Lux's room, he was still cultivating.

Despite sensing the presence of the two young adventurers he stayed seated as he didn't feel any killing intent radiating from them.

He didn't remember the fluctuations of Jason so it looked like they were probably new faces that were intrigued about him.

Little did they know that their mistake to enter his abode in a rude manner would cost them dearly.

As such, he quickly completed the cultivation cycle and cleanly finished cultivating for the time being.

As he got up from the ground, he wasted no time in releasing strong death energy that pierced through Jason and Jennifer's body.

"Who the hell dared to barge into my home?!"
