Scorpio had died, and everyone had to accept this fact even if it was hard.
However, that didn't mean they would be apart from each other!
When Jason came in contact with Scorpio's stigma, his damaged body appeared inside the soul world, right below the soul world core that began to shine in a bright light.
While Scorpio's golden body began to disintegrate, the energy particles that manifested out of the disintegrating body began to inscribe something within the soul world core that had the size of a tennis ball!
The emblem of a golden-colored Scorpion was engraved on the soul world core, while the remaining energy merged with the damaged soul world, healing it.
Jason was not sure why, but he felt emotional when he saw that Scorpio had been engraved on his soul world core.
This feeling worsened, even more, when he felt how the connection to his poison affinity had been severed.
Only Scorpio's poison resistance remained because Jason's body had already merged with it for a long time.
Artemis had entered the soul world to witness everything, but this didn't console her even a little bit.
She was still filled with agony and sadness about Scorpio's death, but at the same time, her anger towards the Ifrytor race, the main culprit for Scorpio's sacrifice, intensified.
Jason was staring at his soul world core for a long time, and it was only when the cave around him seemed to collapse that he regained his senses.
His eyes seemed to have lost some of their liveliness and Jason didn't even bother to hasten his steps as he searched his way out of the Yaslörn caves.
This was unproblematic through his mana eyes, and the only thing that kept him from fainting on the spot due to his exhaustion and his will of life that seemed to dissipate, was because Scorpio had sacrificed his life for him.
He had also merged with his soul world core.

It was somewhat comforting, even if it didn't make anything better...
He was feeling guilty about the fact that others were able to convince him to enter the Yaslörn caves despite his gut feeling!
At the same time, he wanted to eradicate the Ifrytor race more and more, with each second that passed.
"If this whole war is only a training camp for you, let me return the favor in the future! I will show you what true horror is!!"
Jason knew that he was still far away from taking revenge, but the remaining Ifrytor that were still on Argos was a good means to start.
There was also the descendant of the Blood sect he had yet to find, but even to defeat such an insignificant clan, he was too weak!
"I'll take revenge for both of you...Mom...Scorpio!"
Once again, someone, who was precious to him, had been taken away without being able to do anything against it!
This caused Jason's mind to be filled with the thought of taking revenge and wrath.
His kind and gentle Celestia aura began to change from the golden-silverish aura that had already been tainted by a faint blood-red hue to a denser crimson color that intensified the further Jason's wrath and thoughts of revenge deepened.
*[At the same time on a supermaximum sized planet]*
Inside a white palace that was located on a ginormous mountain, far away from all kinds of living beings, lived a small race with a few thousand individuals.
Everything was peaceful and the dense energies that were attracted to the white palace, which released powerful currents of divine energy.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Suddenly, one of the beings habituating the white palace was forcefully drawn out of his cultivation as his silver eyes widened in shock.
It was Yaldra, Jason's father and a being from the Celestia race, who couldn't help but feel weird as he sensed something unfamiliar being transferred to him.
The connection he was barely able to maintain with his son, Jason, was transmitting signs of breaking apart.
Yaldra was able to feel Jason's emotions that were filled with agony, rage, and the distinct desire to kill by all means!
'Is that his human blood?'
He tried to exert the connection he had with Jason to tell him to stop, to calm down because he was going down the wrong path.
However, he was unable to reach Jason, and worry began to fill his mind.
"Fight against the desire to kill...otherwise, it might be too late!!"
**
Meanwhile, Jason didn't notice anything that happened, and he barely perceived that his Celestia aura's color was slowly changing.
He simply thought that it was something normal that the Celestia aura would change according to one's thoughts and emotions.
Thus, Jason didn't mind it!
When he had left the Yaslörn caves, they had collapsed, but Jason didn't even realise this.
The only thing he was able to do was to take out a coat from his spatial ring as it had begun to rain.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The heavy raindrops ached on his burned skin, but Jason could only barely feel them.
He was not sure how far he had walked or how much time had passed when he sensed strong mana fluctuations from above him.
His mana eyes had already detected them before and Jason knew that it was not a hostile race which was enough for him to ignore their entire existence.
Jason did not even bother to take a closer look to see whether it were human scouts of his allies or maybe even the Drake family.
He just walked ahead straight towards the direction of the Shaibi clan headquarters.
In the end, he was glad that nobody took notice of him for the time being because he was able to digest what had happened.
'Scorpio...is really dead…' This was the most difficult to accept for Jason and Artemis that had just begun to notice, how important Scorpio was to them.
They never expected to be separated from each other, let alone that one of them might die one day!
Jason was not sure when it was, but he sensed that the humans he had seen earlier had returned, with humans that had familiar fluctuations, next to them.
Yet, instead of feeling relieved or anything like that, Jason's eyes that were eerily dim averted their attention from the humans that were in fact his masters and Emily, before he continued his path towards the Shaibi clan.
Jason's Celestia was also released without being suppressed. Because of that, both Shane and Dalia immediately knew that something was wrong!
"Not only does he not care about suppressing his aura, but it's also entirely different than it had been before!"
Shane summarized what everyone was noticing and the two scouts that were supposed to search for survivors of the incident of the Yaslörn cave during the last few days were shocked to see Jason.
However, from the description of the amount of liquefied mana drops within Jason's mana core and his aura that was manifold times stronger than his mana core indicated, they had easily deciphered who they had found!
Jason had been the sole survivor they had found, and it was great that the young man, the person everyone hoped to survive, had survived!
Yet, something seemed to be wrong which was the reason for the two scouts to return to the Shaibi clan's headquarter to report Jason's survival!
They had returned with his masters, but even they seemed to be unsure what to do.
Emily, who was not sure what Shane and Dalia were waiting for, had ordered her soulbond to dive towards Jason, who didn't seem to care about anything.
At that moment, through the heavy rain, Jason's raincoat slipped from his head.
When the Lesser typhoon roc wing generated currents of wind, the coat that was barely laid on his naked body fell on the ground, revealing Jason's entire being.
At that time, Emily had already appeared in front of Jason, whom she could see completely.
However, instead of feeling embarrassed because she was able to see everything about Jason, only shock and fright could be seen in her eyes as she screamed out!
The others that were flying at a higher altitude could only see Jason's head, but that was already enough for both Shane and Dalia to turn worried as they approached him as fast as possible!
Emily's scream resounded through the surroundings and the moment Dalia saw Jason, she could barely hold back from screaming out too as Shane, whose eyes were widened in shock couldn't help but say "How...are you still alive looking like that?... Are you even alive?"
Jason's eyes seemed lifeless and his entire body had been burned.
There was not a single inch of unscathed skin left!
They had been exhilarated that Jason had survived before, but now, they just wondered how Jason was able to survive with injuries like that!
Two days had already passed since the Ifry's self-detonation, after all!!
