God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Gulping down the potion Dalia handed him. Jason felt much more energetic than before.

Stepping back, Artemis flapped her wings in order to ascend into the air, only to land on his shoulder.

Feeling Jason´s exhaustion caused by the high mana-consumption his black origin flame required, she wanted to help him somehow, but there was no way to do so.

But in his opinion, nothing bad happened, because he saw something miraculous in front of him, as the Jadetite alloy released dense mana fluctuation, while they innately absorbed quite a lot of mana.

This natural mana absorption caused the Jadetite bar next to Shane to gleam in a distinct green color with silver lines in-between, while the whole bar was sprinkled with star-like dots.

The color he perceived from the bar next to Shane was a faint, light-gray which was the second-lowest possible radiating color.

However, Jason had never seen such a color radiating from any grade-1 weapon, which caused him to look at the bar in awe, while Shane was shaping the other portion.

A few hours passed and Shane was finally done when Dalia handed him a purple glowing mixture with an empty black pen that looked extremely exquisite and expensive as golden runes shimmered on it.

Smiling lightly, Shane poured half of the purple glowing mixture into the empty pen, as he injected his mana into it, manifesting the golden shining runes.

Jason wasn't sure what was about to happen but he was sure that the black pen with golden runes couldn´t be something ordinary as the complex runes he saw, released a mysterious pressure.

It was as if these runes existed since ancient times when Shane began to inscribe the first few runes on the 30cm long dagger that looked like a wolf in a sheep's coat due to its beautiful appearance.

The green, silver-lined starlight blade looked razor-sharp even though it was paper-thin while Jason was sure that he could kill everything without much effort.

Watching Shane´s procedure, Jason was in awe as he had never seen some of these runes and he was sure that the inscription mixture Dalia concocted was also nothing ordinary.

Altogether, Jason was extremely shocked until he noticed a certain motion of Shane that seemed to be off.

"Stop! Master...I think you have to be one to two millimeters higher in order to inscribe the rune right on the crossroad of mana veins." Jason shouted out, causing Dalia to look at him weirdly before she turned to Shane, who was visibly embarrassed.

He followed Jason´s order and corrected his slight mistake that would have decreased the daggers output by almost 10%, as the distinct crossroad of mana veins was the most important component of the dagger he inscribed right now.

Clearing his throat, he confessed ashamedly.

"It has been a long time since I tried to create a flawless mana grade-1 weapon with such faint mana veins within. Jason, you can help me with your mana eyes if. Tell me where exactly most mana veins are situated and where they overlap."

Jason wasn't sure how much of a difference the thickness between grade-1 and grade-2 mana veins was, but without constant practicing, he was sure that losing the edge on perceiving feeble mana veins would happen quite easily.

As such he stepped forward and pointed out the most distinct and overlapping spots of mana veins while Shane inscribed the runes on the shown spots, without considering that Jason could have done something wrong.

If Jason were to tell him a wrong spot, he would have to shoulder the consequences by himself, as the weapons' strength wouldn't be top-notch anymore.

More than 30 minutes passed when Shane finished inscribing both daggers with all kinds of runes.

Handing the finished product to Jason without any kind of celebration, he looked proud, yet with complex feelings at the youth in front of him.

Shane never needed any help from someone younger than him in order to obtain the best results according to his estimation.

However, in the last few dozen years, he didn't have much time to practice his forging skills as they were hiding, while the times he forged were mostly used for high-grade items and weapons whose mana veins were easier to notice by him, not as weak and feeble as a grade-1 material.

Jason didn't think much about Shane´s small issue as he could somehow understand that Shane couldn´t sense extremely thin mana veins as good as a few dozen years ago, as he was more proficient with inscribing runes on higher graded items and weapons.

Holding the daggers in his hands, Jason felt immediately comfortable with their grip, as if they were perfectly accustomed to his demands.

A radiant smile emerged on his face as he could barely hold back shouting out in joy when he injected his mana into them.

The mana grade-1 Jadetite daggers brightened up, while the purple runes on it gleamed vigorously, as Jason´s mana decreased with an extremely fast pace.

Controlling his mana consumption the daggers' brightness increased or decreased when Jason heard a small humming sound as if they wanted to talk to him.

`What!?` Jason thought shocked as he felt the blades vibrating violently causing him to inject more mana into them until they calmed down.

It seemed as if the blades sharpened themselves with him injecting mana into them, as the reflection he could see become more and more detailed, without any visible flaw.

"Their perfect…" Jason mumbled as he injected his whole mana pool into the blade in addition to the small unique mana sphere, he transferred some mana within the unique mana sphere bracelet into it, causing a white-purplish film to envelope the daggers wholly.

The daggers seemed to grow in size as the main straight dagger enlarged by more than five centimeters, while the curved dagger seemed to manifest a second blade.

Trying to test out the maximum capabilities of his daggers, it felt like the required mana were extremely large because and multiple times the size of Jason´s current mana pool.

`A whole mid-Master rank mana pool?` Jason estimated silently, as the mana Jadetite daggers began to scream out with a *shing* telling him that their limit.

Inspecting the daggers with the lowest possible mana supply, he thought these daggers looked like emeralds streaming within the starlight, as silver lines streaked through the dense green color, given them a magnificent touch.

The higher his mana supply was the grander the Jadetite daggers looked like and Jason was struck in awe, as a name appeared within his mind.

"Viridi-Starstream?"
