God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Hearing Zar, Jason could only shake his head, while Jennifer, who had watched every single movement of Jason, couldn't help but shake her head at the cadet's answer.

Meanwhile, the other spectators were astonished by Jason's combat prowess, while his ability to manifest a tail was simply ignored.

There were quite a few beings with unique abilities, and a transformation ability was amongst the most ordinary ones.

Furthermore, each of the cadets was special with something or the other being out of the norm in everybody's case, which turned Jason into one of the 'normal' people, only that his combat prowess was higher than everyone expected to be.

Nevertheless, Jason's confidence and the fact that he advised Zar to give up was something that made the other cadets angry.

It had taken them a long time to achieve their sense of pride after having been shunned by their own kind and thrown to streets with nowhere to go..

For some, it took a few years, but for the beings whose will had been destroyed, it had taken several decades.

As such, they didn't like Jason's statement, and were fuming. However, Jason gave them both a reality check and a wake-up call, making them realise just a few moments later that Zar should have listened to Jason by all means.

"If you're still willing to fight, don't hold a grudge against me for what happens next!" Jason simply said as he snapped his fingers, while similarly unleashing the minuscule fractions of Solaris' flame that had embedded themselves inside the young Devir's body.

On cue the black flames flared and erupted with no delay, burning through the hide-like skin of the Devir as he cried out in pain.

Nurtured by the mana they devoured, the flames increased in size, enveloping Zar's entire body within seconds throwing the crowd into a frenzy as nobody could believe, let alone understand what was happening right now.

Only Jason and Jennifer were silent and unfazed as if they had expected this outcome.

The young woman simply looked at Jason, thinking that he was playing around too much with the Origin flame and the weird transformation he could attain.

Jennifer was not sure what exactly this transformation was, because the scales looked exactly like those on the snake she had seen in the manor's backyard, a few days ago.

As such, she was able to come up with her own reasoning, only to realise that Jason might be even more interesting than she had initially assumed.

Smiling lightly, her desire to fight Jason increased as she comprehended that Jason was able to fuse with the beasts that had been next to him, and was probably stored somewhere in his body.

This was the only thing she was relatively sure of, and it would also explain the sudden increase in Jason's physical strength as the beast he had fused with probably enhanced it a lot.

It was a Pryr beast after all!

While Zar was using his utmost efforts to extinguish the flames that had enveloped and infiltrated his body, the water he conjured dispersed before he could make use of it.

Because of that, and the fact that Jennifer wanted to avoid anyone being seriously injured, she raised her hand.

"Stopp! The fight is over!!"

Jason was just waiting for the sign, and immediately summoned Solaris, who created a suction force, pulling all flames out of Zar, who slumped to the ground, excessively exhausted.

He could only stare at Jason, who had used him as a means to nurture Solaris, allowing it to advance slightly faster.

Under normal circumstances, Jason would have simply extinguished the flames within his opponent, but now he had wanted to help Solaris a little bit.

The fusion with Petri was dissolved the moment he had snapped his fingers, which had, in fact, ended the battle in Jason's opinion.

As such, the spiked tail had already dispersed while Jason's eyes had reverted to their normal appearance as well.

Walking towards Zar, he held out his hand only to say,

"Good fight, and sorry if it was painful, I didn't know how strong you were so I released the majority of my flames' strength!"

Initially, Zar was enraged by Jason's confidence, but now that he had fought him, the Devir knew that it wasn't unfounded.

His pride was hurt now that he had been so easily defeated, but he acknowledged Jason for being stronger than he was.

Despite that, it hurt to hear the words 'the majority of my flame's strength,' because it was almost as if Jason was trying to console him.

Nevertheless, with a deep sigh, Zar had to accept his loss, and instead of being discouraged, he acknowledged the chance of having fought a beast.

During the fight, he had noticed that Jason was still extremely young, and now Zar assumed that the young golden-eyed man was not even a human from Manyr, but somewhere else.

Thus, his situation was probably different from the other humans on Manyr.

Grasping Jason's hand, Zar smiled lightly before he got up and seriously asked.

"Be honest, how much of your strength did you hold back??"

Even if he felt that this question would only hurt his pride, Zar couldn't help himself. He simply had to ask, and looking at Jason, who was contemplating the answer, it looked like he would have to swallow the last remnants of his pride.

If Jason had to be honest, he was not sure about the answer. Right now, he didn't want to utilise the abyssal effect of his Emperor Eyes because he was still unsure if the Chaos attribute inside his body would suddenly be released.

At the same time, Solaris' full power had yet to be unleashed while the Frozen flame that seemed to be his strongest attack and affinity, right now, was something Jason couldn't comprehend yet.

There were also all kinds of other things he had to pay attention to because he didn't use the Floating Sky movement technique during the fight, neither the pressure he had learned to comprehend, nor any mana to circulate through his body!

In the end, there were too many factors he hadn't used, but at the same time, some of them didn't gel together either way.

As such, Jason could only look at Zar apologetically as he said,

"I should…probably be strong enough to defeat Eran, and the other cadet Jennifer will choose at the same time?"

Without knowing the exact combat prowess of Eran, and the unknown partner, Jason decided that he should hold back, and not act too arrogantly.

However, his statement alone was proof enough that he had been holding back a lot, which caused Zar to look at Jason dejectedly, only to get himself together as he mumbled,

"I will definitely become stronger…much stronger, and then, I will defeat you!"

After having mumbled these words of encouragement for himself, Zar left the combat ring, where he saw his comrades that looked at him with a thumbs up.

"You didn't back off, buddy, good job to hold out against such a monster-like existence!"

"His fire affinity is way too strong, you tried your best, that's all we can hope for!"

"…"

".."

Seeing how everyone encouraged Zar, Jason couldn't help but smile, thinking that it was great to have motivating comrades who didn't laugh at someone for facing defeat.

Everyone's circumstances were different, and for people like Jason, their cultivation base was just the basic foundation of their strength, to begin with.

The other cadets and even Jennifer were now beginning to understand this, and his strong mana fluctuations were now making sense to them.

Jason was out of the ordinary, and comparing him to others at the same cultivation rank and stage simply didn't make sense, and neither would it do right with any of them.

This was exactly why Jennifer had thought of making Jason spar against beings at the Prismar stage because she had already sensed that the young man with golden eyes was different than anyone else she had ever met.

Her desire to fight him only increased, but instead of actively showing this, she simply ordered Eran and Lilya, one of the Variant Aeus, who was born with awakened cultivation veins of Maest and Pryr, to enter the combat ring.

Jennifer knew that Jason hadn't used much mana, and instead of giving him more to recuperate, she wanted to see how he would react under pressure.

'Show me some more, Jason!'
