God´s Eyes

Chapter 854 – Natural Soul Fusion

Jason couldn't be sure of the reason for Linus to hide certain things. 

But given the fact that he was considered one of the higher authorities, it was most likely for safety purposes, or to have a trump card up his sleeves.

Even if that was not the case, it was pretty obvious that Linus had held back against his friend, who had mercilessly bashed his head into the ceiling.

Not letting rage overwhelm his rational mind was a pretty tough thing to do because it was certainly still painful.

After all, Linus was the one bleeding severely while his friend had not even received a single scratch!

However, even then, Linus was calm, and Jason couldn't help but wonder if the young man was stronger than him and Jennifer.

As such, it was important to be more careful in the next fight against Linus, if it were to ever occur again! 

Minutes passed, and the chaos subsided, replaced by everyone returning to their daily routine. 

Seeing how quickly everything was wrapped up, as well as the urgency with which the young man was taken care of, Jason and Jennifer couldn't help but be a little bit stupefied.

After all, the others had returned to their seats, where they awaited the evaluation of their fights, which included mentioning their mistakes, one by one.

From the looks of it, this was far more important to them than Jason first assumed.

This was unexpected, even more so because one of them was heavily injured, but it was as if being injured was a routine to them.

Because he perceived this, Jason had decided to adapt to their mindset. 

Thus he returned to his seat with Jennifer by his side.

If they had been looked at with mild interest earlier, the others were now even more impressed with them.

Jason was not sure how great this was for their plan, but it was early enough that he figured out that it was no problem, at all.

After getting just a glimpse of his true combat strength, they might regard him highly, but not to the extent that they feared him.

The same was the case with Jennifer, and despite the abrupt end of their small battle, it was pretty great that they were able to spar one time together, without any of them being forced to reveal too much of their true capabilities.

With that in mind, there were still many things they could do during emergencies, opening ample opportunities for them. 

However, this was not important as of now because the others began to point out the mistakes of their friends and colleagues. 

None of them held back in clearly stating what they had done well, what movements had been wrong, or incomplete, and how they could have used their affinities better. 

Previously, Jason didn't think much of this event but seeing that everyone seemed to care about the precision of their comrades' combat prowess, he was a little bit astonished. 

He assumed that not a single human at the Mid Ascendion stage or higher attended the weekly comparison events. 

This clearly indicated that this event couldn't be taken seriously owing to the fact that not a single professional martial artist was present. 

Despite that, and the evident fact that the real potential of the present men and women was, at most, above the average, Jason felt that they were meticulous. 

What they lacked in talent they made up for in hard work and the fact impressed him. 

However, that was where his appreciation of the humans ended. 

It was their soulbonds who were probably doing the most work while receiving the least recognition or nourishment, which annoyed Jason, who didn't comment on the mistakes of the others. 

Instead, he quietly watched everything, trying to figure out what everyone was truly thinking and if their mindset was aligned with the thought that soulbonds were mere tools. 

He was not sure how long it took, but it felt like an eternity before the young men and women had finished pointing out the mistakes of each other. 

After they were done, they turned towards Jason and Jennifer. 

"How about we assess your fighting style as well? We didn't see much because of the shroud of darkness, but there are still a few things I could point out!" It was Linus who said this with a small smile on his lips. 

Jason didn't have anything to say against this, and neither did Jennifer.

As such, they nodded their heads while awaiting the assessment of Linus, who had fought against them, and the others who had watched the spar from the outside.

"Because we didn't see much, we might as well point out the most evident things first. 

As such, I think we can agree that your naturally formed soul fusion is a great thing, and once you can truly control it, you might be closer to the Lord of Death, but right now, you need to work on it a lot.

If my guess is correct, you can fuse with your soulbond's eyes, and because you've already created an aura, your soulbond can also influence your aura.

That is an advantage, but it's sad that you can already manifest an Aura. 

It looks like you'll be missing out on the aura technique we, the humans of Argos, are currently creating.

As for your combat techniques, I can tell that you rely a lot on your soulbonds, and your movements are extremely smooth, so I think you possess a powerful movement technique, am I right?"

Jason just nodded his head when Linus finished his evaluation, only for everyone else to follow suit, adding whatever they liked and disliked.

He didn't really agree to everything, but that was not something he could be bothered about right now.

It was a big mess, but Jason simply accepted all the evaluations he had been given, taking them into consideration even if most of them were utter bullshit.

This was important in order to understand what the others thought of him, and if necessary to make use of this received intel.

With that in mind, Jason was able to stay calm even if the others were saying utter nonsense. 

But, that was not the case with Jennifer who was shaking uncontrollably, ready to throw fists at everyone who insulted him.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel that Jennifer was getting flustered unnecessarily, but instead of minding it, Jason felt that it was nice to watch.

Yet, instead of staying focused on Jennifer's adorable behavior, he averted his attention back to Linus once everyone was done assessing his strong and weak points.

"You said that my natural soul fusion is somewhat comparable to that of the Lord of Death but just inferior. But, who is the Lord of Death?"

Looking directly into Linus' eyes, he tried to put on a mask of confusion and curiosity, in order to appear genuinely awed by the person he wanted to kill.

These emotions were mostly fake, but that didn't matter because he was clearly stating what he wanted while showing the most suitable expression to achieve his goal.

As such, Linus and the others were not suspicious of him because the name 'Lord of Death' had been mentioned a few times in context to his natural soul fusion.

Thus, it was perfectly normal for Jason to ask who the Lord of Death was. Because of that Linus didn't hesitate as he answered the question.

"To put it simply, the Lord of Death is also a human from Argos, precisely, the human, who gained the most attention from the Shadow walkers. 

He has both a huge soul world and a high soul amplification.

He might only have the ability to form a soulbond with Undead beasts, but the Shadow walkers have their own means to counter this problem!

As for why we compared him to you… he can also undergo a natural soul fusion with one of his soulbonds, just that his fusion is far more formidable!"
