Chapter 53 – Let´s Go!
Jason felt something on his head and unsurprisingly it was Artemis.
Waking up he stroked her a few times, before entering his soul world to practice the Heaven’s Hell technique when he suddenly noticed that his soul world core has increased in size while the produced soul energy was much more than before.
Looking at the amount, Jason estimated that his soul energy has reached a minor threshold of five units.
The night before it was quite a distance away from five units and closer to four than five.
Jason’s first thought was that Artemis broke into the three-star wild beast rank and he was right.
This caused Jason to be overjoyed and his lips curled up.
He hadn’t felt any difference from his body but maybe it was because he was still sleepy.
Practicing the Heaven’s Hell technique, his soul energy was fast depleted and he left the soul world to look at Artemis.
While Jason made himself ready, he felt the changes within his body.
His body itched a little bit but it wasn’t unbearable so he tried to ignore it as well as possible.
Compared to before, his mana core was already close to the 7th level while his physique was also at the threshold for the 6th level
And his core was almost at its limit and close to a breakthrough so he would be able to level up soon.
`And my strength also increased quite a lot including my mana core.. Hahaha, Artemis and my soul are so nice…` Jason was happy when he heard a knocking
“Jason, are you awake? We have to go soon.. If you don’t answer me I’ll wake you up in 3..2..1..” Jason heard a teasing voice that was familiar but also unknown because this personality definitely wasn’t suitable for the person he imagined.
“Stop that Greg.. I’m awake.. I’ll come down soon. Let me at least wash up and change my clothes.”
Leaving the room he was on his way down to the living when he met Malia who wore a revealing white nightgown out of silk and Jason´s eyes grew almost double in size seeing her revealing figure.
`She is really beautiful!` Jason thought and gulped down his saliva
Despite only being able to see slightly more than one month he was still able to distinguish between good-looking girls or women and beautiful ones….
There weren’t any feelings coming from Jason but he still admired his sight when Malia looked at him with tired eyes.
Before she could greet him, she saw his gaze and looked down, only to see her revealing nightgown…
Crying out in surprise she immediately disappeared into her room, only to appear a moment later with some clothes on.
Her cheeks were beet-red and she rushed down to the living room without taking a single glance at Jason.
Jason could only silently follow her thinking that she looked really beautiful, without having any hard feeling.
Rather than a potential lover or something like that, he thought of Malia as a friend.
And Jason was way too young to think about something like that, to begin with. At least that was his opinion.
Getting stronger was much more important for now!
Going down to the living room, Jason noticed that everyone was already sitting at the table, waiting for him.
He sat down and greeted everyone.
Breakfast began and there was an abundant variety of food, Jason could eat.
He even noticed that a marginal amount of mana was radiating from some dishes which surprised him greatly as his eyes widened slightly.
The whole breakfast was relatively quiet and only Gabriella asked Jason if Artemis, who sat on Jason’s shoulder was in need of food, which Jason declined politely.
It was uncommon for beasts to be so excessively indigent and close to their contractor as Artemis called for many caresses from Jason.
Most beasts would be close to their master but they would still prefer freedom than getting confined closely inside a house or being so excessively close to their master like Artemis.
Greg’s first soulbond, the reinforced horned bull, for example, was already fully matured and at the mid-evolved rank.
But the more important fact was, that the bull didn’t like houses and would avoid them if possible
Getting reminded about food, he looked at his notifications after they finished breakfast and Jason requested for his parcel to get delivered immediately.
He went out and took in his parcel which he stored away.
Jason wanted to break into the 5th Novice rank as soon as possible but they would start their trip soon, so he had to wait until they started.
Before their trip would start, they had some things to do.
Jason saw a large armored truck appearing at the entrance of the mansion out of Mark´s storage device.
The truck was covered in layers of metal and reinforced by magic circles and runes that shone brightly while the truck itself floated thanks to the magic anti-gravitational circles.
It was a specially made truck for off-road purposes outside the dome and it would be pretty useful because the landscapes were uneven and full of obstacles.
Jason estimated that the length of the truck was around 25 meters including the hovering trailer.
While it was empowered by dense and thick mana, the easiest way to provide this would be mana stones.
He didn’t even want to think about the price one had to pay to travel through the whole island and he decided to not care about it as he didn’t have to pay the price.
While the greater storm eagle and the scaled wolf were already standing in front of the trailer, Jason thought that the fox cubs were probably getting fed before they would start their trip.
Going to the backyard Jason saw a completely different beast cage next to his own.
While it was bigger than his cage and had a slightly blue color, the mana radiating from it was no joke.
The lower body was densely packed with bars, preventing the fox cubs to leave the cage.
Jason inspected the beast cage intently and it looked like the whole beast cage was one entity.
Such kind of beast cages were extremely rare and made out of special materials, while it had many different modifiers, including the densely packed bars modification that was activated at the moment.
Inside the beast cage, Jason could see the fox cubs gathering around a big fancy machine.
Out of this machine bottles stuck out and the lesser elemental fox cubs almost fought to suck at them.
Apparently, the Flers bought an automatic feeding machine for cubs which included a heater and so on.
It was operated by mana like almost everything and could easily feed 10 beast cubs at the same time.
It was only 4:30 am when everything was loaded and checked twice, they entered the vehicle.
The truck’s interior was spacious and looked futuristic and Greg, Malia, and Jason entered the back of it while Gabriella remained in the front with Mark who drove.
Closing the door, Mark turned the engine on and they took off.
*Above the City*
An old man was floating in the sky, releasing a marginal amount of mana to defy gravitation, while an old but refined woman with silver hair stood next to him, huge green ivory wings spreading behind her.
The old man was looking down and his gaze followed the treasure he had chosen inside the truck while a smile emerged on his face.
Previously he considered Jason useless because his soul energy was extremely weak and almost equal to non-existent, followed by his almost neglectable mana core rank but seeing his actions over the course of the last few weeks, the old man was more and more astonished about the youth´s feats.
Not only was the snowflake owl, he himself deemed as trash and useless, superior to all snowflake owl´s he had ever seen, able to break through its racial limit within a few weeks but also Jason´s weak soul energy could contain the snowflake owl, which meant his soul energy increased by a few folds
After watching Jason for a few weeks, he was sure that his soul had to either amplify an enormous amount from the soulbond to the contractor, or something else was the crux.
From his vast knowledge, the old man had accumulated over dozens of years, he knew that every soul was different, which included the soul energy, soul affinity, soul amplification, soul physical enhancement, and soul energy replenishing time.
A 24 hours reproduction time for soul energy was only the researched average and it was different for every individual.
“Is he really that precious?” the woman next to him questioned uncertainly.
The old man´s smile widened and his decision to get Jason was now affirmed, after what he witnessed
“I hope so! ” He whispered while looking down.
“Show me some more of your potential, Jason Stella!” the old man said as both of them vanished into thin air.
