God's Eyes-Chapter 949 - Betrayal of a Tree

Chapter 949 - Betrayal of a Tree

Sending a voice transmission through the obstacle of a dragon's breath was quite difficult.

In fact, Jason believed that it was impossible for a few minutes, as all his attempts went down the drain. But before he could lose hope, he sensed a faint connection to the Roc at the Mecynar stage.

The Roc wanted to repel the signal, but sensing that it was neither the Fiery red dragon, who had sent the voice transmission nor one of its family members, it got curious.

Yet, the moment it heard Jason's voice, the Roc felt confused, and let out an involuntary screech.

[I'm sorry for the intrusion, but what is going on here? Is the Fiery red dragon attacking you, or is there something else going on? I, and my partner, are trying to help out, but we are too weak to fight anyone, so I hope you can cooperate with the dragon for your own sake and that of your family!]

Jason had never been great at starting a conversation out of the blue, even less with some strangers.

As such, he simply blabbered a few sentences before deciding to fall silent.

Solaris was still absorbing the dragon's breath, while the Fiery red dragon continued to attempt burning down the treetop with its flames.

However, just at this moment, it attempted to use its truck-sized claws to tear open a path for itself to land on the treetop.

Yet, when it touched the leafs of the tree, they seemed to send out crimson red electric currents that traveled through its head to tail, electrocuting the Fiery red dragon.

Roaring out in anger, the dragon breathed out its flames once again.

Unfortunately, this proved to be counterproductive, and just a waste of energy as the dragon grew consistently weaker.

Somehow, Jason pitied this sight because he was unable to sense any killing intent from it, just unbending anger, and frustration.

Upon taking a closer look, its eyes seemed to even gleam in betrayal, which made Jason wonder whether the Rocs were at fault.

Yet, when he averted his attention to Jennifer, she seemed to be deep in thoughts as she was being willingly recited an intense Story by the female Roc at the Peak of the Spectra stage.

This caused him to sigh deeply as he told himself that his social skills were truly below-average.

Fortunately, he was proven wrong as a hoarse voice with a deep accent spoke to him.

[Stranger… The dragon was betrayed by the tree. Gained consciousness, deprived part of dragon soul, damaging foundation!

Dragon now wants to snatch back what got stolen from itself. We are just stuck in-between, caught and unable to leave..our kids unable to fly. They would reduce to ashes the moment dragon breath reaches them!]

The sentences of the Roc were slightly cut-off and seemed incoherent, but that was no problem.

Jason was still able to understand everything the Roc told him in short, broken sentences.

As such, he now had a much clearer picture of the situation in a few moments, while Jennifer was still listening intently.

'A dragon soul is extremely powerful, but to think that the tree was able to gain consciousness, only to deprive the dragon of a part of its souls…That means the dragon must have slept inside the tree, right?'

Asking himself a few questions, he figured out the most likely answer in no time.

Jason then took other variables into consideration before looking at the dragon that was barely able to continue flying.

Its energy was depleting at a rapid pace and its energy consumption was skyrocketing.

That could be taken both as a good and bad sign as the Rocs would be able to flee soon, while the dragon was likely to succumb to its injuries.

Because Jason was unable to continue staying idle, he decided to intervene and began to move ahead.

This was not literally meant but Jason focused his attention on the dragon before moving further towards the left, preventing the Fiery red dragon from switching its focus to Jennifer once he was done with what he was about to try.

Without the murderous intention in the Fiery red dragon's eyes, Jason was sure that it just wanted to return its soul.

However, it wasn't as simple as it appeared as the cloud-piercing tree was far complexer than one might think.

And this included only the things Jason was able to see through his divine energy empowered Emperor Eyes.

That meant Jason had to attract the dragon's attention before testing out something, only to move ahead if it was truly not working.

One might question why Jason was suddenly trying to help a dragon he had never seen before.

Yet, instead of helping only the Fiery red dragon, Jason's eyes fell on the Mecynar stage Roc and instantly realized that it had used almost its entire energy to prevent the searing flames from burning its younglings.

This warmed Jason's heart much more than it should have.

It made him feel weird and nearly forced him to act immediately.

Being fortunate enough to control his senses and body, Jason first thought about what he was supposed to do before he acted on instinct.

With a distance of more than two kilometers to Jennifer's side, he activated his stigma before releasing the Celestia aura to the fullest.

Meanwhile, Solaris had merged with his body once again, and only a few traces of detached flames were lingering around Jennifer, protecting her.

Simultaneously, the flames never stopped devouring the dragon's breath.

But this was not the crux of the current situation as Jason had released his entire Celestia aura to counter the dragon's aura. And, it began to slowly overwhelm the majestic dragon aura that had plummeted to a density even Jason, a being at the Initial Ascendion stage could cross.

The Fiery red dragon's breath and physical strength might still be much higher, but its willpower was slowly running out as its confidence grew shaky.

That showed Jason how important it was to act right now as he explosively expanded his Celestia aura that reached the Fiery red dragon, which halted in its tracks just a few moments later.

Turning towards Jason, it was confused for a while, momentarily forgetting the concerns about its depleting energy or deprived soul.

Being enveloped by an aura that allowed her to release the tension in her body, before calming down her fury made the dragon realize that she met a formidable existence.

Yet, upon taking a closer look, the being seemed to be just at the Initial Ascendion stage which confused her tremendously.

[Hello Mr or Mrs Dragon, I'm sorry for interrupting your hunt, but may I provide some help to you? I can sense that your soul has been damaged, and is slowly weakening your Origin Sona flower to the point at which it will die soon!]

Jason didn't reveal that he knew more than he was letting on, but that was the best he could have done.

The Fiery red dragon might harbor anger in the depth of its conscience against the Rocs, thinking that they were conspiring against it and plotting its downfall and subsequent death.

It might seem ridiculous because they just wanted to survive, which was clearly visible as long as one had a calm mind that was able to sense the tumultuous fluctuations of the Rocs.

However, the dragon was nowhere close to being calm, and Jason's attempt to speak to her was already suicidal.

The only advantage he could provide was the fact that the Celestia aura helped the magnificent beast calm down a little bit, allowing Jason to talk calmly.

He then patiently awaits an answer to his offer to help out the poor dragon!

Hovering in the air, and flapping its ginormous wings that created strong wind currents, it almost looked like the Fiery red dragon was thinking about something only to stare straight in Jason's eyes.

'What kind of being is he…will it really be possible for him to help me, or…will he betray me as well?'

A slight flicker of desperation could be traced in her reptilian yellow eyes, stemming from the fact that she realized how fast her Origin Sona flower was dying after her rather foolish endeavor of the last few hours!

[The Dimitra helios tree took a fraction of my soul when I was in a hibernation… help me…please!]

The beautiful voice of a young woman rang through his mind, indicating to Jason that the dragon was, in fact, relatively young, and a female.

With that in mind, he nodded his head before approaching the Fiery red dragon who had stopped spitting out her flames.

It was just at this moment that Jennifer regained her senses, and stared at the situation that unfolded in front of her in astonishment, as her eyes went wide as saucers.

Jason was approaching the Fiery red dragon that was calmly hovering in the air, staring straight into his eyes.

'This…! If I could just beat him up…only once!'
