God's Eyes

Jason could already predict what Lux would do in the following three days because it was not really hard to understand.

Yet, despite having predicted that Lux would give his utmost efforts to become stronger in these three days, it was still unexpected to hear that the Lord of Death would kill his own people and their soulbonds to do so!

Showing no remorse, in the next three days, he killed the strongest opponents he could face and revived them as Undead before binding them to his soul.

Through this, Lux's strength skyrocketed to a whole new level than cultivating would allow him. His strength had reached an extent his vessel was barely able to endure but even then it was not enough for him.

As such, for three sleepless days, Lux killed, revived, and bound his own kind and their soulbonds.

It was as if he was consumed with the goal of defeating and killing Jason.

This clearly showed how serious he was about his battle with Jason as an opponent.

In the end, Jason had just let Lux go on a killing spree while observing everything from the sidelines.

He was interested to know what the other humans would do against Lux.

However, oddly enough, they didn't do anything, which confused Jason because the other humans from Argos should know that Lux could possibly kill them too.

It was way too confusing that they simply accepted everything the Lord of Death did and let him slaughter humans like guinea pigs.

Nobody raised their voice let alone retaliate which caused Jason to ask what was going on.

Linus had seen the bloodbath, and from what Jason perceived during the last few days in which he had been inside the Shiman camp, he cared the most about the people of the camp.

Nevertheless, this was not enough to make Linus act against Lux, clearly showing that there was more behind it.

And it was only when Linus gave them a proper answer to the chaos around them that Jason, and also Jennifer understood the situation properly.

"It is not that nobody of us wants to do something against the Lord of Death's barbarism, but neither are we allowed to obstruct him in doing anything he wants nor are we supposed to intervene in any kind of decision he takes.

That's one of the orders we received from the Shadow walkers!"

Given the fact that everybody else was powerless against Lux, Jason didn't have to be the smartest to understand that the Lord of Death was considered to be an extremely important asset to the Shadow walkers.

This was quite intriguing, even more so because nobody under the soul contract with the Shadow walkers was allowed to intervene in Lux's decisions, which played into his hands.

"So if he challenged me to a life-and-death battle, and I kill him, you guys are not allowed to intervene, right?"

Jason simply asked what had been on his mind since the last three days.

But upon hearing Linus exclaim as he turned towards him, it was next to impossible for him to keep a straight face.

"So… the rumors are true? How did you even end up offending the Lord of Death, so soon, at that?"

Linus was a little bit frustrated that Jason would die because he had planned to present him to the Shadow walkers as his big discovery in order to get promoted.

He had not the slightest doubt that Lux would kill him without even batting an eyelid.

He had already chalked out a plan wherein Jason would be able to live a good life as long as he followed the clauses provided by the Shadow walkers.

However, given the current situation, Linus could only sigh deeply, not understanding why Jason had to offend someone like Lux, and how he was even alive to tell him that.

After all, Lux didn't follow any rules, and proposing a life-and-death challenge was not something he would usually do if someone displeased him to the extreme.

"Well, it's not our problem if you can kill him, but even if you can kill him, the Shadow walkers will either turn you into their slaves or kill you, which would be less torturous.

Furthermore, I doubt that you can kill him, and the chances have further decreased after he turned several of our people and their stronger Ninad soulbond into his Undead soulbonds.

So…good luck, I guess?"

It was clear that Linus didn't like Lux, but even then, he was unable to do something against the Lord of Death.

Other than that, Linus only stated the facts as he saw them, clearly expressing his opinion of the situation.

Afterward, he wanted to find out more about how Jason found a way to end up in the perilous situation to offend Lux.

This was something Jason was not sure about either because he would have spared Lux as long as he didn't do anything stupid to him or Jennifer.

As such, he couldn't help but be a little bit confused too, which he clearly expressed.

With that in mind, Jason decided to reveal a little bit of the truth he had hidden before.

"Well, it's possible that I entered Manyr a little bit later than you guys assumed.

When I called myself a 'child' I was referring to the late teens.

Either way, this is not important, but the fact that I know Lux from before the two of us left Argos!"

In the end, it didn't matter how much he revealed to Linus because the fight against Lux was going to start in less than half an hour.

Afterward, he would leave, and everything would be fine, even if Linus were to say something to the others.

It was a simple plan, and other than tweaking the time period of the story he had told, Jason didn't do anything.

As such, Linus only got to know that Jason knew Lux from Argos, and that they had some bad blood though he didn't know the details of their past conflicts.

When he heard this, the only reaction Linus gave was to nod his head before averting his attention.

"Alright…In that case, given the minuscule possibility of Lux's death, it is my duty to inform you that all Shadow walkers in the surrounding area will be informed about his death.

By the way, this also includes the death of the other humans Lux killed. The notification the surrounding Shadow walkers will receive is not as intense as it would be with the Lord of Death's death, but considering that more than five of us died, I believe they've sent someone over!

Telling you this is the bare minimum I can do, considering that the Lord of Death kills whoever he pleases…even a friend of mine wasn't spared…"

Jason didn't know that Linus had also lost someone, but now he understood the reason for Linus to not like Lux.

Owing to Linus's dislike of Lux, he had given him information that was far more useful than what he had acquired until now.

It was bad that Shadow walkers were likely to be on their way to the Shiman camp, but that was not really unexpected.

Jason had assumed this which was also why he and Jennifer had already taken a proper look at the portal that led to the secret realm the Ninad beasts called their home!

Under normal circumstances, taking a look wouldn't be all that special.

But when Jason had tested the portal once in order to see where the portal led to, Jennifer simply followed suit and stepped through it.

Being able to enter the portal meant one particular thing which neither the Shadow walkers, nor other races seemed to be aware of- that other races were able to enter the portal, and the place at which the Ninad beasts lived.

Jason assumed that either the Aeus race, the three cultivation energies of Jennifer, or maybe even the fact that she was a halfling was an important factor to allow her entry to the portal towards the Ninad beast's realm.

That meant, even if a Shadow walker were to come searching for them, they could flee as long as they were incapable of defeating their opponent!

With a backup plan in mind, they were much more confident and unbothered about Linus' warning.

Yet, little did they know that news about something that was about to happen in the Julandra was spreading through the Shiman camp like wildfire and that the news would shock Jennifer greatly!
