God's Eyes

Chapter 954 - Devouring the Dragon's breath

Looking at the fiery red dragon in awe, Jason could only praise her mighty roar that nearly shook the ground.

Nonetheless, his ears were aching heavily right now, and it was undoubtedly not the best timing and place to have been so close to a being that could let out such a mighty and majestic roar.

While Jason sensed something warm running down his ears, he could see that Jennifer's ears were bleeding as well.

Even his insides felt queasy owing to the roar the dragon had let out.

And, in the end, other existences must have sensed the roar of the dragon too.

Because of that, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, hoping for the best, while expecting the worst.

However, instead of believing that everything would be bad, Jason made use of his own rationality and discarded the pessimistic thoughts as he circulated a portion of the remaining traces of divine energy he had through his body, tending to his bleeding ears.

Doing the same with Jennifer, he covered her ears with his hands in a gentle manner before using up every little strand of divine energy he was left with.

This exhausted him extremely.

It had been quite some time since he had strained his body to such an extent.

The incident in the Soa crystal mine was likely to have been the only time in which he had given his all, since he had undergone the Secondary bloodline awakening.

Recalling the incident from the past, Jason wondered if everyone was doing fine.

Yet, even if that was not the case, it was not like he could change anything, either way.

Given that circumstance, Jason averted his attention towards the red dragon, who had calmed down.

Sensing that Jason wanted to say something, she calmed down in an instant, knowing that she would have to repay the generous favor that had saved her life.

Jason had appeared when she had needed help the most, fixing the problems she had caused to herself.

Sighing inwardly, she eyed Jason for a long time before issuing a voice transmission.

[You saved my life today! How can I repay this favor?]

She was only slightly worried about what might happen and what his demand would be.

Sensing her hesitation, Jason smiled lightly as he answered her.

"I would love to make you my soulbond, but I can tell that you are prone to staying alone, or at least, that you don't want to be tied to anyone.

As such, how about you use your dragon breath on one of my soulbonds until I say that it's enough?"

The favor Jason asked for was quite simple, however, it was somewhat confusing for the young female dragon.

[You are talking about this sentient flame of yours, right?]

The female dragon knew that Jason wanted her to use her breath on the black Origin flame of his. Yet, she was not even sure if it was truly only an Origin flame.

That was the case because she had noticed that Solaris wanted to devour her in order to evolve.

Jason must have noticed this way earlier already, which was the reason for him to state his request.

'Is he trying to use my dragon breath as a catalyst to initiate the flame's evolution?' She wondered, only to keep looking at him.

Brimming with vigor, and the divine energy that had been inserted within her, she was sure to be able to spit her dragon flames for several hours, if not an entire day.

It wouldn't harm her, which made Jason's request quite easy to accomplish.

There was no need to deny his request using this to repay the favor she owed Jason, but it made her feel a little bit odd as if she was underpaying him.

Nevertheless, it was what Jason wanted, and if she knew how much he valued her dragon breath, the female dragon wouldn't act like this!

He believed that as long as Solaris was able to devour the dragon breath it could finally evolve into a Tier-2 Origin flame.

It had yet to reach its limit as a Tier-1 Origin flame, but as long as Solaris would meet all conditions to evolve, it would either evolve instantaneously, or the Origin flame would evolve the moment it reached its limit!

With that in mind, Jason once again released Solaris, who had now taken the shape of a miniature golden eyed black dragon.

Issuing a roar that sounded rather cute than terrifying, let alone loud, Solaris ascended into the air before landing on the nose of the red dragon.

A moment later it flew further away before landing on the ground, indicating that it was fully prepared to devour the mighty breath of a dragon.

Jason couldn't help but smile lightly at the sight, hoping that everything would be fine, and added as a word of caution,

"Please keep the intensity of your flame low at first…you can then slowly increase the temperature and might of your flame, otherwise, you might accidentally kill Solaris. That would be…quite bad!"ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

He might sound calm, but his eyes radiated a terrifying cold upon uttering the last sentence.

This was a huge contrast to how Jason had acted before, causing the female dragon to nod her head.

A moment later she distanced herself from Jason and Jennifer, giving her and Solaris some space, and opened her gigantic maw to spit out her dragon breath.

Controlling it properly, the flame she released was only ten meters long, and engulfed Solaris completely.

It was not even half a minute later when Jason started to feel Solaris' pain as the Origin flame attempted to devour the whole dragon flame, at once.

This didn't work as it wanted, which caused Jason to lessen its load by transferring some of its pain to himself, easing Solaris.

After a while passed, the pain coursing through his body had ebbed, clearly showing that there was no need for him to share the burden of Solaris' pain anymore as the Origin flame had adapted itself to the pain.

While looking directly into the blazing flames of the dragon breath, Jason saw Solaris' black flames were nearly completely enveloped, which caused him to smile mysteriously.

Just at this moment, he heard an unfamiliar noise from below him.

It was a chirp, and it made Jason recall something he had forgotten.

Looking towards the ground, the golden feathered Roc youngling with its height at half a meter chirped.

Tugging at his pants, the little fella attempted to attract his attention, which it finally achieved after quite some time.

Jason was still exhausted and had wanted to rest for some time, if possible.

Yet, upon seeing the golden Roc, he couldn't help but squat before caressing its head that was covered in soft plumage.

Small black horns were jutting out of either side of its head, which Jason could barely feel.

With a faint smile on his lips, Jason noticed that the golden Roc was rubbing its head on his hand.

This caused Jennifer, who was standing right next to them to look at the situation with a deep frown.

She had only looked away for a short moment in order to observe and evaluate the dragon breath, its strength, and if it was truly something that would help Solaris.

In her opinion, Jason acted as if he was facing a time crunch and had to simply rush things to avoid facing some other existences that might want to kill him.

It was almost as if he wanted to have the strongest defenses around him, while simultaneously being in his strongest form.

Only the fact that Jason had used up his entire divine energy spoke against this, even if he gained the favor of a Mythical being at the Peak of the Specta stage!

After she thought to have figured out something, her gaze had involuntarily darted towards the Rocs, that were also Mythical existences, even if they were weaker than the red dragon.

Thus, Jennifer couldn't help but feel weird, seeing the two Roc parents and two younglings.

In the first few seconds, she hadn't noticed that anything was wrong with the fourth Roc, and even the Roc family hadn't noticed anything as all of them were focused on the events revolving around the fiery red dragon.

Yet, the moment Jennifer noticed something, the Rocs noticed it as well.

Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn towards Jason, who was patting the head of the golden feathered Roc youngling that released its energy currents in joy.

While emitting various voices to express its joy, the golden Roc attracted lots of attention.

The most of it stemmed from the parents of the younglings who couldn't help but be confused.

None of their younglings would approach any stranger as they had been taught against it, yet, the timidest one of the three younglings had ignored their rule, and was playing with the young man in front of them.

It made the parents feel odd, but it was even more confusing for them that they didn't feel like pulling Jason and their golden youngling apart.

The other younglings noticed this too, thus deciding to join the fray as they approached Jason with the highest speed at which they could run.

And this was by no means fast!

Meanwhile, Jennifer's eyebrows knitted even more as she looked at the situation that unfolded in front of her.

Two Roc parents were left alone while their three younglings surrounded Jason, demanding to be caressed. On the other hand, the might fiery red dragon continued to spit its dragon flame on Solaris, who devoured them!

While all of this happened simultaneously, Jennifer could only stand there with a miserable face, clearly dumbfounded about the situation, only for Artemis to manifest right next to her, looking at Jennifer with sad eyes.

This caused the young woman to sigh deeply as she patted the smooth silver plumage of the Owl that could understand her feelings the most as she felt the same pain!

"I know, girl…I know…"
