God's Eyes

Chapter 937 - Attack is the best defense

For several seconds, the youths could only look at Jason and Jennifer in doubt.

It was the debut battle of the young Elite of the Yinar race, yet, the two newcomers who didn't even belong to their race stole all of their limelight.

This made them furious and frustration spread through their entire body.

As such, without any delay, they allowed their wandering soul to emerge from the depths of their soul before they merged with it.

Releasing their wandering souls to the extent that the young Elite was barely able to control them, their strength increased drastically.

Thus, shooting towards the foes that had a numerical advantage, they began to overwhelm them, clearly showing who had the upper hand.

While their cultivation base was mostly at the Low Ascendion stage, they were able to fight against Mid Ascendion stage wandering souls the moment they utilized their bound wandering soul properly.

Sensing this, Jason nodded to himself, understanding that he had underestimated the young Elite's strength a lot.

However, this was only to his advantage, which made him smile lightly as he reverted his focus back to himself and the two replicas he controlled.

Despite a mana and divine energy consumption that was trice higher than usual, Jason was still not facing issues.

After all, the duplicates were using the same movements as he did which included their passive mana gathering.

This was quite advantageous, but nothing in comparison to the Celestia aura, the enlarged Stigma, or the pull of the God's Halo.

These traits were something Jason and Spyro were unable to duplicate, but that was perfectly normal.

If that had been so easy, many more beings would possess such traits too.

However, as this was not the case, there had to be a reason, even if it may only be related to the complications of reconstructing the God's Halo or a Stigma.

Keeping his focus on the opponents he and his replicas faced, Jason quickly understood that there were quite a few Peak Ascendion stage wandering souls which the Specta stage powerhouses had missed out on earlier.

This proved to be yet another hassle because Jason was pretty sure that he was unable to defeat them in his current state.

Nevertheless, he didn't think of holding back because the moment Jason retreated, the more powerful wandering souls would reach the young Elite of Yinar.

They were already fighting against numerous wandering souls at the same time.

The only fortunate thing was that the cultivation base of their opponent was not exactly high.

With that in mind, even if their numbers were on the higher side, defeating them shouldn't be much of an issue.

And even if there was something wrong, there was still Jennifer who could tackle the opponents quite well.

Releasing a thread of mana from himself, Jason shot it towards Jennifer, before sending her a voice transmission.

[Protect the kiddos, I'll take care of the small issues in front of us, alright?]

Jason didn't wait to receive an answer as he terminated his contact with her.

Instead of allowing himself to be distracted, his main focus remained on the three Peak Ascendion stage powerhouses.

They were quite a hassle, but it was quite advantageous that Jason's innate strength was already comparable to someone five times stronger than a normal being at the Ascendion stage.

Adding the enhancements of his secondary Celestia bloodline awakening to the other traits, Jason's innate strength was likely to be sixfold stronger than one would usually have at the same cultivation base as him.

This feat was exceptional, but not strong enough to fight against the wandering souls at the Peak Ascendion stage.

After all, their entire being was cultivated by Soul force, which made their strength equivalent to someone with twice, and possibly even thrice the strength of a normal being.

As such, Jason knew that he had to rely on his other traits, the two replicas that were calmly standing next to him, and other additional factors.

Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to cross a total of four ranks within a single cultivation stage, even more so if one was progressing to higher stages.

The Ascendion stage was known for a wide range of strength beings within the same rank had, yet Jason was supposed to make a miracle come true.

Under normal circumstances, he would avoid the Scorpion, the High Goblin, and the Earthworm in front of him.

Unfortunately, their current situation was far from being normal.

With that in mind, Jason didn't hold back from immediately making use of the God's Halo.

Releasing the stored divine energy from within it, Jason and his replicas released a terrifying presence as their silver-colored armor was fluctuating wildly.

After releasing the transmuted Celestia aura with the Stigma fully unleashed, Jason and his replicas circulated the divine energy through their body before exerting the Hermes Celeration technique.

Upon facing a life-and-death battle, Jason didn't even think of acting defensive.

Attack was considered the best possible defense, and this was something Jason believed in, most of the time unless he was unnecessarily provoked.

As such, with both replicas wielding the weapons they had received from Jason, all three of them faced an opponent each.

While Jason faced the strongest opponent, which was the High Goblin that was around the height of a normal human, the duplicates were using their utmost efforts in order to face the other two wandering souls.

They were not supposed to kill them, but stalling was already enough in Jason's opinion.

Given that factor, the two replicas moved away, averting the focus of the Earthworm and the Scorpion from Jason's main body to themselves.

Moving at a rapid pace that was on par with a Late Ascendion stage wandering soul, the two replicas had to use their high agility, and flexibility to evade the attacks that reached them with a terrifying velocity.

As such, Jason was finally able to fight against a single opponent without being distracted either by friend or foe.

This was quite advantageous for him as he also exerted the Hermes Celeration movement technique.

However, in comparison to his duplicates, Jason's speed was much higher owing to the transmuted Celestia aura, the Stigma's effect, and the fact that the God's Halo supplied the divine energy stored within it directly to him.

Jason noticed how painful it was to solely use divine energy to strengthen his body, and to exert a movement technique.

Unfortunately, that was not something he could pay attention to right now.

Instead, Jason had to use an additional boost of speed in order to catch up to the fierce-looking Goblin.

Shielding the backside of his silver armor with black burning flames, they erupted and blasted him ahead, straight towards the High Goblin that wielded a seemingly ordinary weapon.

Yet, noticing that it was manifested out of some sort of metal and the wandering soul's energy, Jason knew that he had to be vigilant.

Thus, rather than launching an elaborate attack, he decided to do something small.

After injecting an enormous amount of divine energy in his eyes, Jason activated the petrification curse, followed by the race specific weakening curse, only to end the combination of attacks with the abyssal effect.

However, in the end, this was just the beginning because Jason emerged in front of the High Goblin while holding Byakur in his hand.

He swung the blade that slashed at its core, only to notice that the wandering soul was able to move.

Yet, this was exactly what Jason had expected; an instinctive movement.

Unfortunately for the High Goblin, Jason had exceptional eyesight allowing him to predict his move in advance in addition to the foresight blessing that made this even easier.

Thus, even with the High Goblin's exceptional strength, it was unable to evade Jason's attack.

Byakur's trajectory had been altered to correctly aim at the area he had to pierce through perfectly.

Jason's attack was successful as only a moment later he cut the High Goblin in half!

Seeing its corpse slump to the ground made a confident smile emerge on Jason's face, clearly understanding what he had just achieved.

'The God's Halo and divine energy..is so powerful!!'

Using the advantage he had gained by defeating the High Goblin, Jason didn't waste any time as he began to support his replicas in defeating the other two wandering souls.

This was possible but drained Jason of a huge amount of energy, including the stored energy within the God's Halo.

He had used up an enormous amount of energy, but the final result was shocking to put it simply.

After all, even without releasing his limitations of the body and bloodline, he was able to defeat a total of three wandering souls at the Peak of the Ascendion stage.

And that was exceptional considering that their combat experience hadn't been great!

Yet, instead of being able to celebrate his victory against three mighty beings at the Peak of the Ascendion stage, Jason's focus drifted to another batch of opponents. He was utterly exhausted which is why the entire group of wandering souls decided to target him.

With an exhausted expression, Jason could only sigh as he cursed inwardly.

'Is that really necessary?!?'
