God's Eyes

In the end, Jason knew that it was impossible to be fully prepared for all kinds of scenarios, which was only logical.

Despite that, the City Lord's plan to protect all of them was simple, yet efficient.

With several mana fluctuation radars that scanned through the entire abode including every nook and cranny, evading them was nearly impossible.

These radars were a great way of nabbing concealed beings who would try to sneak inside the Manor by evading the naked eye. As such, Jason was confident that nothing extremely bad would happen.

The long-distance radars were weaker, but the closer the range was, the stronger and better they became.

Even Jennifer's unique concealment device at the peak of the Ascendion rank was useless in face of the best radar the City Lord had.

Thus, instead of worrying about the highly possible assassination attempt on their lives, Jason wanted to focus on the Spiral spirit for the next few days.

After a part of the dead mana vein had been expelled, the potential hue around it began to change.

While the black and light-grey hue that represented the two lowest possible potentials disappeared, the other hues were shining more distinctly.

Through this, the Spiral Spirit was able to enter the Mid Mortal stage without any issues.

However, this was by far not enough, and his greed was only increasing, thinking that the Spiral Spirit had to hatch soon and become much stronger in order to help him improve further.

With the amplification he was bound to receive, Jason's brain functions would be enhanced. This would allow him to learn things at a much faster pace as well as use more complex ways to apply his affinities, techniques, and abilities.

This sole thought was enough for Jason's greed to soar, and he couldn't be held back anymore.

As such, he was just about to start the second session of the mana vein cleansing for the Spiral Spirit egg as faint mana currents swept through the entire manor.

A moment later, he was able to hear the City Lord's voice that sounded rather frustrated.

[More than 300 Infiltrators entered about half a minute ago. They've only been discovered after crossing half the distance towards the Manor.

There are two Specta stage powerhouses amongst them and their average cultivation stage is extremely high! Everyone, follow my plan, and survive, by all means!

And...Kill those bastards!!!]

The moment Jason heard this, he leaped from the bed, leaving the room within a moment while Petri, Solaris, and Spyro, which was what he named the Spiral Spirit, returned to the soul world.

Listening to the short message made it clear that the situation was extremely perilous.

As such, he rushed towards Jennifer's room, only to see the door opening right in front of him.

There, Jason almost collided with Jennifer, who looked at him with a serious expression, nodding her head.

Entering the room, he didn't even look around but instead, Jason accessed his spatial ring and took out his leather armor, a set of daggers, and several flying knives.

Putting on the armor, he secured the daggers and knives to the belt before summoning Byakur into his hand.

It was vibrating lightly after sensing Jason's emotions but turned steady a moment later.

Armed to the teeth, Jason was fully prepared to fight, and even Petri and Solaris were ready to enter his mana core at a moment's notice.

He could allow Petri to enter his mana core immediately but without knowing what opponents he would have to face, Jason could only think that it might be better to not hurry.

Replacing a soulbond with another inside his mana core took slightly longer than simply telling them to enter the mana core. Follow current s on NoᴠelFɪre.net

As such, it was best to wait patiently!

When Jason was finally done with everything, he first looked at Jennifer, who was eerily calm, before examining the room for a short moment.

Jennifer noticed this, but she remained silent as she heard him mumble.

"Will it be fine for everything to burn down?"

This rather weird question caused her to raise her right eyebrow and she couldn't help but smile lightly as she countered,

"You know that the entire room will be destroyed, right?"

Despite the highly durable material the entire manor was constructed of, beings with the combat prowess of the Ascendion stage would be able to damage the building.

It might sustain a few hits before it would be completely destroyed, but the City Lord also mentioned the presence of two Specta stage powerhouses and 300 Assassins.

As such, Jason's question was a little bit foolish.

However, it was exactly this that allowed Jennifer to release the tension within her.

'He is really a weirdo!'

She thought with a smile on her lips before averting her attention back to the fact that the Assassins could arrive within the manor at any moment.

According to the City Lord's plan, everyone was gathered in pairs or small groups in order to be able to work in a team.

The groups were made by simply putting those that were often together.

Through this, the assassins were unlikely to notice that anything was off.

All groups had roughly the same combat prowess, with the sole exception being Jason and Jennifer, whose combat prowess was extremely different.

Nevertheless, the City Lord was not worried about this because Jennifer's true identity shouldn't have been exposed yet.

Because of that, Jennifer was instructed to not let her true prowess be exposed or kill all opponents before they had a chance to inform their superiors about the same.

That shouldn't be a problem as long as the Assassins weren't too strong for her to finish everyone before anything could happen.

"They'll probably be separated into groups that have been customised to defeat us. As such, there should be assassins that will try to hinder you from using your affinity, if they're unable to kill you directly!"

Jennifer suddenly said, trying to regain her previous calm composure.

Somehow, she felt restless and there was one thing that bothered her.

'Why are the Aeus and Devirs not searching for pieces of evidence to prove our support to the Tritans organization? That's weird....'

The nobles of the royalty of the Aeus and Devirs could easily request to search through the City Lord's manor, and it wouldn't be much of a difficulty to find the portal that led to the Barren Lands.

It was locked, and there were multiple other things with which they could be distracted, but the fact that the royalty didn't say anything spoke volumes.

At least to Jennifer, who had already thought of multiple reasons to answer her doubts.

Amongst the reasons, the most likely was that the royalty didn't know anything about the attack on the Tritans' cadet camps, and the assassination attempt that was about to happen within the following minutes.

However, the treaty and the subsequent attack of the combined forces of the Aeus and Devirs was too much of a coincidence.

This made Jennifer believe that a few members of the royalty might be up to something, while the others were simply focused on different tasks.

'So...they're scheming again…' She could only think as rage ignited within her, as memories of her childhood resurfaced, with the death of her mother being the most prominent.

The memory of her wings being torn out one after another, before she was killed in a slow, torturous manner were imprinted in her mind.

Not a single day went by when Jennifer didn't think of her mother or her gruesome death which led to a volcano of wrath and fury bubbling inside her wanting to unleash on those that had caused her mother to suffer, burning them down.

She was deep in thoughts, and it was only when she heard Jason's next words that Jennifer regained her senses.

"I see them!"
