God's Eyes (Web Novel)

When Jason could hear something again, he asked where they were, what happened to the fox cubs and the scaled wolf.

Gabriella reassured Jason, that everything was fine with the lesser elemental foxes and that all of them were sold.

Previously Jason thought that Mark would only be able to sell half of the fox cubs but apparently, the beast merchant found quite a lot of middle-school graduates that were in a dire need of elemental beasts for their first contract, and the fox cubs came to the perfect timing, while the scaled wolf was the best of them.

Mark only sold all of the fox cubs to this merchant because he received an additional large tip due to the large number of fox cubs.

Jason hoped the fox cubs were fine and survived the beast tide but even if he knew, there wasn't much he could change now, so he decided to change the subject.

"When are we going to depart? Do we have to wait for something or can we continue our trip to Cyro-City tomorrow?"

"We should be able to continue our trip tomorrow, but we can arrive a lot faster because we can change our vehicle to our high-speed flying shuttle! It will only take four hours with it because we fly almost straight through one- and two-star wild zones without flying beasts in a high altitude without any detours.

Even if they were a few awakened beasts flying through the sky, they would be ripped apart, before they could see us."

Gabriella said confidently with a hunch of pride behind covered in her words.

"But shouldn't you guys do something else first? You guys killed a magical beast and a few other rare beasts.. Even if the two-headed amber lion was ripped apart, the core and other important parts are still sellable and worth quite a lot.

Greg´s storage space has an integrated perseverance function and Greg said the liver looked fine..

A few nobles would probably pay a mountain of credits to get the liver of a two-headed amber lion which is said to be one of the best as transplantation.

Not forgetting the beast core… Magical beast cores can be fed to one of your soulbonds and maybe their potential or fire ability can increase."

Greg took out the magical beast core which was red in color and inside one could see a small flame vigorously moving around.

Jason activated his mana eyes and he was overwhelmed by the huge compressed amount of mana inside the core…

`Is that a drop of mana liquid?` Jason thought and he was reminded of the first time he saw the mana core during the beast break-out.

For humans, if they wanted to enter the Magus rank, they had to compress their mana as much as possible before converting it into liquid.

This compression would first purify one's mana core before it would metamorph one's body.

While the mana would be compressed, new space for even more mana would be left inside the mana core and it was said that the more mana was compressed into a liquid the stronger were ones attacks.

Jason found the cultivation system quite weird.

From Novice→ Adept→ Expert→ Master-rank one would increase the size of one's mana core while expelling impurities.

From then on one would convert the gaseous mana into liquid and reach the continuing rank called Magus.

And from Jason´s knowledge, it was said that the more drops of mana liquid one possessed the higher was one's level and rank→ To reach the rank of a Grandmagus one would only need 30% of his mana core filled with mana liquid and so on….

Converting mana into liquid was said to be extremely difficult because the focus and accuracy needed was more than most could do while the amount of mana was as much as a mountain, which was also the first point for most humans the first major obstacle→ Reaching the Magus rank.

Before Jason had also wondered why these methods were divided like this and which rank came after Grandmagus, but there was no need for him to think about that now.

The only thing he had to know was, that without resources, his speed would only slow down, and to get more resources, Jason had to enter dangerous wild zones or even forbidden zones, battle zones, and so on.

Greg looked at Malia who gave him a signal with her eyes and Greg threw the Magical beast core to Jason who had a hard time catching the core because he was still deep in thoughts.

"You can take it" Greg said and Malia approved his decision.

Jason was dumbfounded but grateful and he didn't reject the magical beast core.

Asking Artemis if she could come out again, a white magical circle appeared before Jason and Artemis jumped out of it.

Jason thought she would immediately jump to the magical beast core but the complete opposite happened when she distanced herself from the core with disapproval in her face…

"Do you not like this core??..." This was weird… didn´t Artemis love mana the most? This magical ranked beast core had much more mana inside than a small mana stone but why did she back off?

A weird kind of feeling was transmitted to his mind and Jason immediately understood.

"Ehh…. is it possible to trade magical beast cores against other elements??" Jason asked with an apologetic expression.

Apparently, Artemis wasn´t suitable for the fire elemental magical beast core and she hated this kind of mana… she transmitted Jason a picture of an ice cube and the feeling of it and he understood what she wanted.

"That's possible but a fire magical beast core is one of the most common types and if you want to trade it with a different elemental type, you have to add at least the difference of the wanted core.

But it's more likely that you have to add quite a sum because rare cores are worth quite a lot."

Mark was the first to answer but the answer was satisfying and one could see Jason frowning slightly…

"What core do you need? Maybe we can help somehow… we killed a few magical beasts today and maybe the core you need is among them" Gabriella answered and hope flickered in Jason´s eyes, when he nodded with his head subconsciously.

Right now Jason felt really shameful but if he could get an Ice elemental beast core.

Maybe Artemis would even be able to evolve… who knows?` Jason thought already thinking far ahead of the future before he calmed down

"Is among the magical beasts an Ice elemental beast?" Jason asked with a small ray of hope.

They were close to an ice magical zone and the chances that a magical beast with an Ice affinity invaded the city were not small, but beasts with an ice affinity were much rarer than one with a fire affinity so Jason wasn´t sure.

"I think there was a fierce glacier bear among the beasts we…."

"REALLY! Can we maybe trade the cores? I´ll definitely pay the difference or more once I have the credits…. Please!!" Jason tried his best to make puppy eyes and Gabriella laughed while Mark sighed

"There is no need for you to pay the difference. The ice elemental beast core is a thank you for saving our daughter" Mark said... If a greedy person gifted something, it meant he loves his daughter dearly and Jason smiled at Mark before he gave them the fire elemental beast core…

"Even If I saved Malia, I was also rescued in return... I don't like owing favors..please accept the core and tell me the difference between the two cores price."

Jason was adamant but Mark was also stubborn and in the end, they agreed that Jason didn´t have to pay the difference while they exchanged cores.

Mark was astonished about himself…` Did I try to persuade Jason to give him my money??!?!`

The ice elemental core was extremely cold and had the size of a small fist and Artemis jumped at the core and opened up her peak as much as possible squeezing the core down before Jason was able to do something, while everyone's eyes widened in shock

`She wouldn't explode, right?` Was what everyone thought
