Jason wasn't sure what the middle-aged woman wanted to do with him now that she seemed to have figured out that he established a fortified soul conjunction with 'one' soulbond at the age of '16'.
However, to him, it was clear that this achievement was impressive, and instead of wasting too much time, Jason decided to depart as soon as possible.
With that in mind, he utilized his ice affinity and released enough mana at once to create thick mist, enveloping the area three meters around him in a single moment.
He was already at the end of the crowd and many young men and women noticed the thick mist at the end of the crowd when someone with black hair, a pitch-black mask, and white wings shot into the air.
After Jason put on a mask he ordered Artemis to enter his mana core to manifest her wings before he shot into the air, ignoring the crowd on the ground as he flapped with the white wings on his back vigorously.
A moment later he flew past the crowd below him, only to stop for a quarter of a second in front of the gigantic gate. Turning around, he saw that the middle-aged woman far in the back didn't act which allowed him to sigh in relief when he entered the rift carefully.
'I shouldn't faint again, right?' He suddenly asked himself when the space around him began to twist.
Jason retracted Artemis' wings again before his eyes felt like someone blindfolded him.
'That's what should happen!' He told himself knowingly after he asked his masters how traveling through a rift should normally feel like.
Apparently one would feel blindfolded or dazzled, preventing one from seeing anything.
However, Jason had a different idea right now which he wanted to test as he released the mana stored in his eyes faintly.
Normally one had only one mana storage which was one's mana core, but there were certain mutations humans might undergo through certain events.
This allowed the creation of another storage, while there were also multiple races mankind knew of, that had several mana storages.

Jason knew that but he never assumed that his mana eyes were something he obtained entirely from his Celestia half.
That was because mana eyes always had a small mana storage!
At least according to the information, he read about mana eyes online.
He didn't think that this information was wrong and the only thing Jason assumed to have obtained from the Celestia race was a slight enhancement in his eyes capabilities.
This wouldn't explain why the Shadow Walker and other foreign races were so afraid of the Celestia race when he encountered them in Cyro-City, but Jason didn't think it was necessary to bother about something like that right now.
Maybe there was something else, like the amiable aura the earth dragons sensed from him, but Jason didn't know if that was something the Celestia race had innately!
By releasing mana within his eyes, they began to glow lightly as the blindfolded sensation seemed to dissipate slowly, revealing millions of stars with which he was already familiar.
'The rift in Cyro-City was exactly the same! Wait...it's not!' Turning towards the right, he saw something far away in front of him that was entirely different from the blue planet he saw before.
There was still a gigantic planet, but the one he saw right now was much smaller in size compared to the blue planet while the mana fluctuations he perceived were also different!
Jason was not sure why he felt so, but the green planet with large blue stripes within seemed to release a distinct aura with which he was already familiar too.
At least that was what Jason thought and trying to remember what exactly the familiar aura was, he could only think that it was similar to that of Shane's soulbond, the bane of a thousand eyes wolf!
However, on the other side, the aura Jason was currently exposed to was much stronger, which caused him to conclude that the world he saw from far away might be their destination.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})'If the rifts connect us to different planets, why is there even a need to label them with 'one- to four- star', Hell- or Abyssal- ranked rafts?
Wouldn't what I see right now also mean that we don't enter a small, sealed dimension on the other side of the rift but a complete world that inhabits all kinds of terrifying existences?
At least by perceiving the mana fluctuations from the green and blue planet I saw before, I can tell that Argos' mana fluctuations are insignificant!
Then….why didn't mankind encounter stronger beasts than the rifts' rank indicates?'
Jason was curious and confused about this because he couldn't answer this question.
Nevertheless, it was evident that the rift connected Argos with the green planet which he could see.
Thus, Jason assumed the distinct aura around it was probably the reason for how his masters' memories to be blurred.
It should be a curse, enveloping the whole planet which caused Jason to feel a little bit weird.
Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any effect yet and Jason thanked his mana eyes inwardly.
They were unique and definitely not ordinary mana eyes.
Jason couldn't help but feel that it was extremely fortunate for him to be born with them!
It might have been a long, and painful time until he gained eyesight and the ability to see mana fluctuations, but Jason was sure that his blind childhood taught him a lot!
As such, he had no hard feelings about his past, and he already forgot who his bullies were.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Only his mother's death was something that made Jason feel powerless about his past.
However, before his mood soured further, he felt a strong surge around him as Jason was already thrown out of the rift.
He stopped releasing mana into his eyes because the blindfolded sensation stopped as the smell of iron permeated the air.
Jason's guard was immediately up and he unsheathed his light longsword instinctively as he saw a huge ferocious two-horn rhinoceros carcass with several small holes in it.
Behind the first corpse were multiple more which caused Jason to lift his eyebrow when he saw a young man with blond hair.
He had light attributed mana which he used to envelop the spear he wielded, massacring the horde of Mid-Unblemished ranked ferocious two-horn rhinoceros.
The young man's mana core was at the peak-Master rank and released a lot of mana at once which caused Jason to wonder how he can handle such a high mana consumption.
Inspecting him with his mana eyes, Jason could tell that the blond-haired youth was not simple.
Rather than that, the blond-haired youth seemed to be fortunate because it looked like he had a way to refine his body the same way Jason could.
The only difference was that the youth's body refining of the Initial-phase was almost completed and that the light affinity he utilized was his sole affinity.
As such, refining his body with a light attribute was even more efficient.
'If he has a body refining technique, this youth must belong to a big clan that has most likely a treaty with a foreign race, or his family found it in an ancient ruin…'
The latter option was more unlikely, but it was not impossible.
At least that was what Jason thought until he saw the youth's face, which caused him to remember someone who looked similar
'Could this youth be the younger brother of Suo Jual? If that's the case, it's evident where this youth got the body refining manual from!.... Let's go first!'
