It was only obvious that the Sacred Elvyr didn't want him to be found on the planet they had just claimed as their own.
As such, Jason was supposed to leave as quickly as possible.
This was something he had planned to do, either way, but he still needed to occupy a world bridge for a short period of time.
At the same time, there was something Jason needed to know before he could face his opponents head-on!
"I can leave immediately, but did the Queen inform you about the location of an unused world bridge that I can make use of?"
He stared straight into Kiat's eyes without avoiding them.
Byakur was already retrieved into the soul world, where it hovered around the soul world core.
Yet, the grim expression on Jason's face didn't change in the slightest, causing the Sacred Elvyr to believe that the young halfling would attack him at any moment.
In a duration of only a few years, Jason had changed a lot, and Kiat could tell that he had gained lots of confidence.
Most of it was probably owed to the True Soul awakening, but certainly not everything.
As such, Kiat couldn't help but recall the spar he had fought against Jason less than 90 years ago.
'He shouldn't be able to, right?'
Yet, instead of asking the question out loud and irking him, he answered Jason's question with a nod.
"It would be best if you change the coordinates of an existing world bridge on Linarium.
Doing so would safeguard you against the Primordials and even if some were to be nosy enough to approach Lyina to start looking for you they wouldn't be able to find you.
If possible, please change the coordinates of the world bridge I will show you later for a short period of time.

Kiat smiled lightly while forwarding all the important information he had been told to relay to Jason.
But even then, he couldn't help but look at Jason with a glint of battle intent in his eyes.
It was an indescribable feeling and he felt a strong urge to fight the young halfling by all means.
Jason was able to perceive his willingness to fight, and have a spar owing to several small clues.
This made him smile as he had the exact same idea.
"And…If you are fine with that, I would like to have another spar with you, a rematch if you want to put it like that!"
He smiled lightly, looking straight into Kiat's eyes, his body language and eyes oozing with confidence.
Yet, while the Sacred Elvyr returned Jason's gaze, both of them could only hear a sigh from their side.
This leads them to turn toward the direction of the noise, in a synchronized manner, at that.
It was Jennifer, who shook her head, sighing deeply, while not being able to understand the mindset of the two men.
"You guys can do whatever you want, just tell me which direction I have to fly to and the distance I need to keep from both of you so that you two can play around…"
Turning their head away from Jennifer, they looked into each other's eyes before the corners of their lips twitched in unison.
They knew that Jennifer deemed their behavior as childish, but it was not as if they wouldn't spar just because of that.
"Just keep a distance of 1000 kilometers from us, to be on the safe side." Kiat advised her, indirectly agreeing to spar with Jason.
Meanwhile, Jennifer only nodded her head before jumping into the air and flapping her three pairs of wings as she shot in a direction with a terrifying speed.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})She was only using her brute force, but Kiat could tell that her speed rivaled that of a powerhouse at the Mid- or possibly some at the Late Specta stage.
Before, he had presumed that only Jason was a monster of the two.
But given the time that had passed and the fact that he had never seen Jennifer using her entire strength, Kiat figured that he had grossly underestimated her.
'Of course a monster falls in love with another one… They're just a mess!' He thought, sighing deeply before pushing himself off the ground.
"To what cultivation base should I restrict myself? You can choose and tell me."
Kiat had something in mind, but he allowed Jason to decide what he wanted to do. But the answer given by Jason surprised him.
"No need, go all-in. Don't hold back even a little bit. You guys don't need me for the Restoration project anymore, so your beloved Queen won't punish you for injuring me, right?"
Smiling teasingly, Jason also jumped into the air.
Flying backward, Kiat too smiled at him, ready to have an epic battle while keeping his eyes glued on Jason.
He sensed even the slightest mana fluctuations from the Sacred Elvyr, giving him the necessary information to understand his opponent's strength.
80 years ago, Kiat might have seemed awe-inspiring to Jason, but right now, after the massive influx of information that he received from the True Soul awakening, his opinion had changed.
In fact, Jason was pretty sure that even without the True Soul awakening, going all-out would be enough to defeat the Sacred Elvyr.
After all, he was now hanging between the Low and Mid rank of the Specta stage, while Kiat was still at the Low Mecynar stage!
It didn't seem as if he had improved a lot, which was completely different for Jason whose strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
And that was something Kiat knew, making him even more vigilant, and excited about the fight ahead!
Not long after they had separated to put some distance between themselves, the two of them started their battle.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Releasing their mana, they enveloped their body tightly with it.
This was the sign they gave each other to show that they were ready to fight.
Thus, the spar started only a moment later as both of them began to move at the same time.
Jason released his moonlight mana and divine energy that began coursing it through his body to exert the Hermes Celeration technique.
Through this, he crossed the distance of several kilometers within seconds, releasing a shockwave as he broke through the sound barrier.
Only a moment later, he manifested a spatial portal in front of him, through which he disappeared.
Emerging above Kiat a fraction of a second later, Jason thrust Byakur forward that had materialized in his hand, lashing out at Byakur.
His Soul weapon of him was thrumming with energy and continued to enlarge as Jason issued the thrust.
By enlarging Byakur's blade he turned his fierce attack into an even formidable one.
However, Jason had not expected Kiat to remain unmoving which he didn't.
And it was just at this moment that his Emperor Eyes perceived something that caused him to smile brightly as excitement gleamed in them.
Without the need to manifest a spatial portal, the Sacred Elvyr disappeared from his earlier spot!
Emerging hundreds of meters above Jason, Kiat also gave him a bright smile.
Only his eyes were eerily serious as they gleamed in an emerald color before he materialized more than thousands of tiny wind needles that covered the entire sky.
"Let's have some fun, Jason!" He shouted out all of a sudden before shooting the needles towards him with a terrifying velocity that cut through the surroundings winds, and even the cultivation energies!
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Jason, his eyes began to gleam in the rainbow colors, only for the outlines of his irises to gleam in a golden and silver mixture as he replied with a smirk
"Yeah…let's have some fun!"
