God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Jason followed Dalia´s instructions and the magic circle was evenly filled with all kinds of mana stones while Scorpio remained in the center, gazing at him uncomfortably and confused.

Trying to explain the situation, his soulbond only understood that it was going to become stronger, which made it naturally happy when Dalia appeared behind it.

Jason left the magic circle in order to make some space for Dalia, as he stood next to Shane.

"It would be the best if you look at everything carefully with your mana eyes fully utilized.

You won't be able to see something like that often." Shane said, not covering his proud expression, as he mumbled

"I wonder how much this little Scorpion´s appearance will change."

The last sentence wasn't supposed to be said out loud, but it unintentionally slipped out, which Shane didn't notice.

But Jason heard him and he grew curious about the whole process his soulbond was about to went through.

Even more so what exactly would happen to Scorpio, as he activated his mana eyes to their fullest capabilities in order to see everything clearly.

Only a few seconds later, Dalia activated the 20 meters in diameter magic circle on the ground, as the large runes inscribed on it lightened up, forming a translucent dome around it.

Meanwhile, the mana stones, graded from 1 to 4 began to dissolve with grade-1 and -2 mana stones manifesting a small fog.

Meanwhile, the higher graded mana stones that dissolved, released liquefied mana, that either soared in the air through the surrounding fog or escaped towards the ground, where a small puddle manifested.

However, this wasn´t what was really interesting in Jason´s eyes as his memories about the torture and the splitting mind technique were still apparent in his mind.

Rather than that, more interesting to Jason was Dalia, who was surrounded by a radiating light, making her look as if she was a Saintess, almost forcing Jason to kneel down solely from the pressure that spread throughout the room.

`What the hell is that?` He wondered excited and worried at the same time as Dalia´s whole body began to shine in a holy light that began to absorb the surrounding mana greedily, turning her bright, holy aura more distinct further increasing the pressure around her.

The holy light released by her absorbed every single mana particle as it began to envelop Scorpio, who also began to brighten up.

His green-blueish exoskeleton began to glow in a white, holy light, causing Jason to exclaim in astonishment.

But that was not everything, as Scorpio was slowly lifted from the ground, only to ascend slightly above Dalia´s height, where the holy radiating light enveloped Scorpio completely before it seemed to manifest into a thick hue, which forcefully infiltrated him with sheer pressure, from every possible direction.

Right at the moment, this happened, Jason felt a terrifying searing pain spreading out from his soul world towards Scorpio, as he faintly sensed something particular.

The thick connection between both of them was strengthening with the holy radiant light infiltrated Scorpio, but Jason could only feel his soulbonds pain as a shocked expression appeared on his face.

`Why didn´t they tell me that this whole procedure would be this painful for Scorpio?` Jason complained inwardly, as he looked at Shane as if they betrayed him, only to see Shane gazing at him knowingly.

"Did you think, cleansing a beast´s mana core would be painless? That´s a free lesson for you. It would be better if you ask questions before you accept anything, wouldn't it?"

Shane explained and it was certainly not wrong, but he still felt betrayed, as he entered his soul world, without caring about the spectacle that was about to happen in front of him.

Mentally gripping the soul world connection between both of them, Jason hoped that the stuff he learned from Shane and Dalia´s book was correct.

Concentrating his entire focus on the connection between him and Scorpio, Jason began to slowly accept his soulbond completely, without caring about the possible backlash.

The bond between them thickened slightly, with Jason's face turning pale, as he started to breathe heavily.

This caused the pain within Scorpio to be partially transferred to him, which was the reason for him to do something recklessly as he did right now.

Roaring out in pain, Jason could immediately feel the holy radiating light infiltrating Scorpio, changing every cell in its body, while he accepted Scorpio´s burden, taking responsibility for everything that was about to happen.

Seeing Jason roaring out in pain, Shane was confused, until he noticed blood pouring out of his disciple's pores, worrying him a lot.

Taking a closer look, he barely deciphered a golden hue around Jason´s head, which was his individual indicator that showed that he was within his soul world.

`Is he accepting Scorpio´s pain?` Shane wondered with a shocked expression, asking himself how the hell his disciple could do something like that while both the contractor and soulbond knew each other less than three months.

'Is he trying to forcefully increase their connection in order to accept his soulbond's pain?'

Speechlessly watching at his disciple bleeding out of all orifices, there wasn't really much he could do, other than prepare potions for the aftermath.

'Is he reckless or just stupid?'

Starting with his preparations, Shane didn´t let Jason out of his eyes, as he complained about his disciple's recklessness, while he was on the other side somewhat proud about Jason's decision.

Jason was similar to a double-edged sword, talented and definitely prodigy on one side while the other side was naive, reckless, and impatient.

Sighing deeply, Shane wasn´t sure what to think about Jason anymore as he was just too mysterious to understand.

Meanwhile, Jason endured the pain transferred from Scorpio without complaining a tiny bit, as he felt Scorpio´s sincere thanks, as it was much easier for it to endure the pain now.

He wasn't sure if Scorpio would die from shock if it were to endure the cleansing by and metamorphosis of its whole body by itself.

Fortunately, Jason acted fast enough and decided to share Scorpio´s pain, as he would rather endure the pain by himself instead of forcing his soulbond to endure it alone.

Even though Scorpio wanted to become stronger, it was innately Jason who planted the idea of becoming stronger into his soulbonds mind.

As such, he had to take responsibility for everything that was about to happen.

However what made Jason suspicious was that Scorpio went through a whole metamorphosis, as if his whole genetic model changed instead of a simple incomplete mana core cleansing.

This was extremely suspect in Jason's eyes but there was nothing he could change about it right now.

Even so, he was sure that it had to be either a misunderstanding or a lack of communication between him and his masters.

Other than that, Jason couldn't comprehend another reason, why they shouldn't have told him about the metamorphosis of his soulbond´s body in addition to the extreme pain a beast had to endure during the mana core cleansing.

Jason wasn't sure how much time passed, but the pain Scorpio transferred through him increased consistently, causing him to sweat heavily in the hope that the holy radiant light would finish the cleansing soon.

Hours passed with the moon rising high in the sky only to be replaced by dawn before the holy radiating light seemed to lessen slightly with the searing pain decreasing consistently.
