Jason was sure that his naming sense could be considered the worst of the worst, but somehow he felt that it was not a bad name for his daggers and he smiled at them like a small child that received a toy to play around with.
After he was done staring at it for a while, it was already after lunchtime and the three of them decided to regenerate their used-up energy by eating a small meal, even though Shane and Dalia didn´t have to eat for several weeks or even months in order to survive.
The mana they absorbed gave them more than enough energy to live healthy, without any issues, but this didn´t mean they couldn't eat something delicious.
While Dalia prepared something for lunch, Jason decided to practice the Heaven´s Hell technique once again, as he entered his soul world.
Looking at his soul energy of 157.2 units, he smiled lightly, as he remembered something extremely important he forgot because his schedule was so loaded.
Suddenly a thought stroke him like a lightning bolt, as he thought about the Heaven's Hell technique
`I can already practice the third Heaven´s Hell level?! How could I forget that?` He asked himself, lamenting about his stupidity because it could increase his soul energy even more than the five-braid helix he currently used.
Even if he was not sure how much of a difference it would be because he already used one of the highest possible second-level helixes which gave him an increase of 0.8% per usage.
But if the description of the Heaven´s Hell manual weren't wrong, it had to be a beneficial increase, otherwise, nobody would practice the third level and skip it completely.

Unfortunately, he could barely use his extraordinary fast replenishing speed to his advantage, because he practiced the Heaven´s Hell technique three times a day with each practice taking longer than an hour.
If he were to do a continuous circle of his Heaven´s Hell practice, as he wished to do, the real effect of his soul world´s unique replenishing effect could be showcased.
But until he could even think of doing something like this, he had to increase his soul energy to a much higher degree while the creation of his second sub-area was still far away.
Jason didn´t want to endure such torture ever again like it was the case with his first sub-area and finding enough resources for his currently two soulbonds alone, was already problematic enough.
He couldn't even provide himself with a high number of mana stones or magical treasures that could enhance his physique, mana absorption rate, or anything like that.
As such, the plan to create a second sub-area with the mind-splitting technique he had in addition to developing a continuous circle to use the reproduced soul energy immediately after it was expelled, were thrown back into a corner of his mind.
When the time comes, he would come back to this idea, but not now!
Having already read through the whole Heaven´s Hell technique´s manual, Jason knew what he had to do now.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Considering that he had already practiced the Heaven´s Hell five-braid helix for quite some time and even three times a day at that. Jason was extremely confident in his focus and soul energy control that was superior to a few weeks ago.
As such the easiest structure of the Heaven´s Hell third level should be easily accomplished by him without much pressure, as he remembered that the third level was called [Drill].
The reason was simple and it was to create a drill that would form a tiny hole inside the soul world core only to inject the soul energy.
Because the soul world core had to regenerate the damage caused by the drill, it had to use up a lot of Jason´s energy while strengthening the soul world core's 'muscle'.
Even though his energy consumption would increase because of that, Jason was confident in negating this effect by eating a massive quantity of food or maybe just some qualitative food, which would cost him a fortune.
The nutrition would be converted into a mysterious energy thanks to the unknown and primordial looking runes inscribed on his soul world core and humanity didn't even know how it worked or why this process happened.
Jason was curious about his soul world core and even more so about the runes carved into it, but he couldn't just take it out in order to inspect it with his mana eyes...unfortunately!
In the end, he could only follow the descriptions from the Heaven´s Hell technique because he received many benefits from it.
He was not really a fan of following anyone or anything stupidly without asking how it worked, but with his shallow knowledge, there was no way to figure out how exactly his own body worked, while humanity as a whole didn't know anything useful about the soul world core at all.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The only thing they were sure of, was that it saved humanity from their annihilation, and even if many theories about the soul world core were published, proving them could only be described as extremely difficult.
Creating a drill with his soul energy threads wasn't really difficult but the real challenge came when Jason had to rotate the combined soul energy threads in order to create a working and sharp tip with which he wanted to pierce into his own soul world core.
`Why am I even doing something as stupid as this?` He lamented in his mind, as he patiently constructed the unmoving, thin drill without making it too broad in order to reduce the damage and pain he had to endure.
Rotating it with all his willpower focused on it, the drill moved violently, trembling as it approached his soul world core before a screeching sound could be heard when it pierced in the soul world core's outer layer, exactly at the position he aimed for.
In order to minimize the damage, Jason looked for the area with the fewest primordial runes as he pierced into it, causing a sting in his head that slowly spread through his whole body.
Goosebumps covered his skin but the pain was less than he initially thought, as the five-braid helix seemed to have hurt more when he injected it into his soul world core the first time.
Finishing the process smoothly, Jason was confused as it seemed way too easy, while the most difficult step should have been the rotating process, he mastered it relatively smooth thanks to his high soul energy control
However, only after finishing the process, as he left the soul world, overwhelming fatigue enveloped Jason's whole body.
With a growling stomach, Jason could barely stand up, as he dragged himself towards the kitchen, where Shane and Dalia were silently preparing the meal.
Noticing someone approaching them from behind, they immediately knew it was Jason because there couldn´t be anyone else in their hideout.
However seeing Jason´s weakened expression and hearing his grumbling stomach, their expression turned to confusion, before both of them laughed out loud, ignoring his pitiful situation completely.
"Please….give me some food. I'm so hungry..." Jason could only say, as his legs gave in, without the strength to come back up once again
