God's Eyes-Chapter 939 - Escaping
Chapter 939 - Escaping
The moment everyone heard one of their own shouting out a curse followed by a warning, the other Cultivators at the Specta stage halted in their tracks.
Ignoring the wandering souls they had almost defeated, they immediately released their Soul force.
This allowed them to sense the same devices as Jason and the youngest of them had sensed earlier.
Their expression turned grim and their faces paled visibly, as everybody started to shout warnings and curse themselves for their mistake.
"This fucking Bastard!!"
"Fuck!"
"RUNN!!"
Just at that moment, the High Goblins that were in charge of the mysterious devices seemed to have noticed the fluctuations that reached them.
As such, instead of continuing to empower the device they had been ordered to fill to the brim, they activated it immediately even though it was only partially filled.
When that happened, weird energy fluctuations were released by the device, only for the surrounding temperature to instantly spike up to match that of a furnace.
Following that, numerous things happened at the same time.
First, the entire Soa crystal mine seemed to be drained of its energy, including the Soa crystals that had been brimming with energy and radiating a golden light.
Not even a second after that, Jason was able to perceive how the energies gathered in the core area of the device.
Being compressed, they were bound to explode after a certain threshold, post which they would be further nurtured by the weird energy the devices released.
This worried Jason a lot, but rather than staying idle, he turned towards the entrance of the mine.
It was not even five hundred meters away from them, but it was at this moment that he noticed how several young Elite of Yinar were still fighting against other wandering souls.
They had been unable to move away, pressured by the high number of wandering souls that were closing in on them.
This was a huge hassle, which caused him to throw a glance at Jennifer.
[Take out the others! I'll take care of the wandering souls!]
It might not even be necessary to use his voice transmission for now, but he wanted to send out a clear message to her rather than letting any misunderstanding crop up.
A moment later he had replaced Spyro with Artemis in his mana core.
Using moonlight transmuted mana to tend to his overly exhausted body, he realized that his condition was much worse than expected.
Yet, in the end, he could not afford to rest and had to manage on tending himself a little by using nothing else other than his moonlight mana.
As such, the situation in which Jason was, could be considered a huge hassle.
However, that was not something he could bother about because even the Specta stage Yinar were unable to move away.
Having killed the beasts around him, he was one of the few that were free to move.
Because of that, Jason pushed himself to overcome his body's limits and unfurled Artemis before flapping them, accelerating the speed at which he was able to shoot towards the wandering souls that kept the young Elite occupied.
Appearing in front of the first opponent, Jason lashed out without hesitation, eliminating the first threat with a simple attack.
Afterward, he moved like a whirlwind, killing the remaining wandering souls that were circling the young man in front of him.
"Leave!!"
Knowing that there was not much time, Jason clearly understood that the lesser youths he had to save and protect, the better he could fight.
Throwing a short glance behind himself, he noticed that the Yinar at the Specta stage were still fighting.
This was quite bad, but from the looks of it, they were able to retreat while fighting.
It was not the best approach, but within the next ten seconds, they would be able to leave the Soa crystal mine.
Jason was sure that 500 meters were not enough to survive the explosion that would be caused by the device.
However, that was something everyone could figure out quite easily.
In fact, Jason was not sure how much of a distance they had to keep in order to survive the explosion that was bound to occur.
Nonetheless, having sensed the trap early enough was great, to put it simply.
After all, his presence of mind provided everyone with a chance to, at least, survive the given situation.
Most of the youths had already left the arena only a few seconds later, with only two who had stayed behind.
Seeing them still desperately fighting their opponents, Jason figured that they could feel their time running out.
Even Jason felt uncomfortable with the sudden increase in heat as the entire mine seemed to start to melt.
He didn't even have to take a backward glance in order to know that the situation had escalated to its worst possible level.
Thus, Jason could only ignore the pain spreading through him as he used the remaining energy in his body and the God's Halo.
Additionally, he combined everything together in order to exert the Hermes Celeration technique, while activating his Stigma, which enhances his speed further.
His enlarged Stigma had reverted to its original appearance.
Fortunately, this was his advantage as it required less of Jason's energy to be activated.
This allowed the young man to shoot forward towards the first of the two youths.
He was surrounded by a few High Goblins at the Mid Ascendion stage and was fighting them all after enveloping himself an armor that resembled crocodile hide, bleeding due to several cuts.
His condition was bad, to put it simply, and it was only when he saw Jason that his face lit up.
A moment later Jason appeared next to him, and kick one of the High Goblins, blasting it away before disappearing once again.
Turning into a flash of light, Jason catapulted himself towards the next girl, grasping her without looking at the opponents she faced.
But the moment he grasped her, Jason felt a sting in his lower back.
Yet, he was unable to sense that anything was off, and simply decided to ignore it and instead leave as quickly as possible.
Because of that, he ignored everything around him, holding one youth in each hand as he shot out of the mine.
Only a short moment had passed before he emerged in the bright, open area of the surface as he heard a loud commotion from behind him.
It was the Specta stage powerhouses who had suddenly emerged, only to zoom ahead and leave him behind at once.
This caused Jason to frown, wondering if they were really willing to leave their own comrades behind, just for their own survival.
After all, it wouldn't have been a problem to take one of the two Elite he was carrying.
They Yinar race's Specta stage powerhouses wouldn't be slowed down after all due to the Elite's weight.
Yet, they did not return to help so Jason had to forcefully circulate moonlight mana and traces of divine energy through his body, while simultaneously exerting the Hermes Celeration movement technique, just to widen the distance from the Soa crystal mine.
Just at that moment, Jason heard the ear-piercing sound of an explosion that was followed by a tremendous shockwave.
The shockwave blasted Jason through the air before gravity did its work and dragged him to the ground where he crashed into.
After this, he was unable to move anymore, and the lower part of his back was aching as if he had been severed in half, while the rest of his body was simply too exhausted.
Yet, his mind was unwilling to give up and simply die in the explosion.
'Fuck this shit!!'
