God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Hours flew by, in which Jason had turned into the main focus of the entire army of the Oceanfolk because they noticed the dangers looming around him.

Jason's movements might have looked sluggish and restricted, but his black flame spikes were deadly with four of five hitting their target.

This didn't necessarily mean that they were immediately killed but owing to Solaris' unique abilities, they would certainly die after they had been hit once.

Some marine beasts tore out their own flesh and skin in order to prevent the flames from spreading, but the majority of his attacks cut deeper into the skin.

This would mean that they had to almost kill themselves only to prevent the black flames from spreading further.

Seeing how thousands of marine beings died by burning, only for fractions of Solaris' flame to continue burning at the location where their brethren had succumbed to their ill fate, the army of the Oceanfolk began to attack him desperately.

This averted their attention from the destruction of the shelters towards him.

Thus the pressure on the Mewi decreased drastically, allowing them a breather before Brell and the others continued to storm into the army, starting a killing spree.

In the end, the entire Army of the Oceanfolk was defeated, and the last shelter wall was still standing firmly. It was damaged but not completely destroyed!

Many Mewi had died, but in comparison to the countless numbers of the Oceanfolk's army, this number was significantly less than anything Jason had expected.

Once all marine beings had been eradicated, Jason was able to take a deep breath for the first time since the start of the battle.

Yet, the only thing he smelled was blood and charred bodies of the marine beasts instead of fresh air he had wanted to breathe in.

Sighing deeply, he slumped to the ground.

He stayed back on the shelter wall while staring at the shelter, where he heard that everyone was celebrating.

The Mewi were exhausted but that didn't hold them back from being happy, which made him smile lightly.

It was exactly at this moment, when he looked at the shelter with a faint smile, thinking that it was worth the effort to protect them, even if it was not for the trial's task.

He was bone tired and just wished to sleep when his eyes perceived the emergence of a large gate in the center of the shelter.

This astonished the Mewi who were standing nearby, causing them to cry out in fright, but Jason almost immediately realized what the gate was.

'So…that's already it? I thought I should find the treasure the Oceanfolk was searching for in order to meet the requirements to pass the trial…'

In fact, the gate that just emerged looked similar to the portals he had to pass through in order to advance through the floors in the tower that was his first trial.

Thinking about the trials, Jason couldn't help but feel odd, considering that more than two and a half years had already passed since he entered the dungeon.

Never could he have imagined that so much time would have already passed because it felt like a few days, at most a month to him since he had entered the dungeon.

He had just been too busy cultivating and doing other stuff to keep track of time, but even then, he couldn't help but feel weird.

His combat strength had increased drastically in that short amount of time, and since he had entered Kinra island, he had progressed a lot.

Not only had he entered the Prismar stage, but right now, he could already defeat beings at the Peak of the Prismar stage!

His progress finally allowed him to fight head-on with beings that were several times stronger than him.

To top it all, he had achieved this miraculous feat in only two and a half years.

Most beings required dozens of years to cultivate from the Initial Prismar stage to the Peak, and then there were beings like Jennifer, who were able to reach the Peak of the Prismar stage in all three cultivation paths, at the age of 25.

Thinking about it, some great prodigies were just overly talented and blessed with strong cultivation veins.

Yet, Jason knew that Jennifer had her own problems that might not have to do with her cultivation but control over her body that was constantly exposed to two repulsive energies.

She had solved her issue quite well, but Jason knew that losing control over the affinities would end up in a disaster.

While his mind was occupied with Jennifer, where she might be right now, and how strong she had become after passing through the last trial where they had parted their ways, the Mewi had already stopped celebrating and were now mourning their deceased.

Clearing the shelter, the deceased Mewi were moved to the wide center of the arena that was more like an open patch of grass, where only the portal that would transport Jason to the third trial had emerged.

Seeing this, Jason forced his body to move as he decided to help.

His mind and body were overly exhausted and he felt as if he was more asleep and injured than alive and kicking.

Nevertheless, he helped in finding the deceased which was not difficult owing to the Emperor Eyes that allowed him to sense even the slowly deteriorating mana fluctuations of the deceased Mewi.

The way Mewi died was completely different than other beings, if one were to look solely at their mana fluctuations because their body was solely made of mana, to begin with.

As such, Jason couldn't help but stare at the deceased Mewi in astonishment, only to shake his head, cursing himself for being intrigued by something as horrifying as the death of Mewi before he approached the Mewi's corpse that was the closest to him.

Carefully picking him up, Jason flew towards the center of the shelter, with a solemn expression before he put him down in a row which consisted of other dead bodies.

The other Mewi saw him helping out and were staring at him for a moment.

They were speechless to see their brethren die hence they only thanked him with a simple nod, showing that Jason's seemingly simple task meant a lot to them.

Thus, more than an hour passed in which Jason was flying around, moving the dead corpses towards the center of the shelter before the mourning ceremony started, without further delay.

In the end, this was something that belonged to their culture.

Jason watched with a heavy heart as he shockingly saw the body of the deceased Mewi simply disintegrate, before turning into the purest mana that merged with the surrounding mana.

This caused Jason's eyes to widen, but the other Mewi didn't seem to be shocked about it. Rather, their eyes were silently following the path the countless particles of their deceased brethren took.

A sadness was weighing them down and the Mewi were still gloomy, but instead of allowing themselves to let sadness consume them, they began to work with a determination that made Jason frown.

'They won't mourn for a few days…they are done already?' He was confused about their customs, but instead of commenting on it, Jason simply accepted it.

He rested for a few hours before burning the countless corpses of the Oceanfolk's army.

This took much longer than Jason wanted to acknowledge, but he didn't want to be rude and simply get up to leave.

He should give them at least the bare minimum help in order to remove the marine beasts' corpses.

However, even after that was done, Jason didn't leave.,

Jason further helped them remove the rubble of the destroyed shelter walls, and it was only after this that he was finally ready to leave.

Bidding the Mewi farewell, after telling them to find what the Oceanfolk were looking for and use it themselves, he received a heart-warming farewell gesture. Each Mewi released their true form for a moment while wishing him a glorious and wonderful life.

After that, Jason stepped through the portal, finishing the second trial.

[Congratulations! The second Trial has been completed successfully! Time required 196 days, 'Void' difficulty, … Good+ achievement attained!]

'Wait…only good?!?!'
