Jason didn't know how much time had passed since he'd fallen into a deep slumber.
The last words he recalled were him agreeing to talk with Wisse after the tournament was over.
However, that was easier said than done because the bulk of information thrown at him the moment he left his room was enormous.
While Merl told him to act as an interpreter so that they could set up a proper contract without anyone being able to deceive them, Betty and Ben bombarded him with other information about the tournament.
Apparently, the rewards would be given out right after the final winner was decided, followed by a banquet, and the signature process of the ceremonial peace treaty would conclude the event.
Only then did Jason realise how illogical it was for him to tell Wisse that they should talk to each other during the time frame that was somewhere between the end of the liberation tournament and the start of the celebration process where he would receive the reward.
This made everything even worse because Jason wanted to leave the human embassy the moment everything was concluded in order to rescue the Flers.
"Wisse will definitely kill me…"
Shaking his head, Jason muttered to himself while trying to think of a solution.
Unsure of what to do, Jason decided to advance straightforwardly instead of hiding somewhere.
Wearing simple clothes that could be used for formal procedures, Jason rushed out of the training hall towards the federation's official building complex for guests.
The human embassy had rejected staying there because Jason and the God's children had to train in the training hall before the liberation tournament had started, and now they didn't want to move to the official building because they were comfortable in the lodging of the training hall.
Despite that, Jason was able to make his way through the guards in front of the building complex he wanted to enter.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Everyone knew of Jason and that he was an official guest of the Olympus federation.
As such, there was no need for anyone to block him.
Thanks to the Emperor Eyes, Jason could immediately tell where Wisse was.
Thus, using the elevator, he reached the highest floor in no time before he knocked on the door to the dragon's room.
"Who's there?" Wisse asked, knowing that it was the young man whose mana fluctuation he had sensed the moment Jason had passed the guards.
"I doubt you know my name, so why are you even asking?" Jason countered, knowing that most of the Olympus federation knew that his first name was Jason.
However, saying that 'Jason' is here wouldn't make a difference be like saying any name because there were simply too many with the same name!
Wisse smiled lightly before he opened the door.
"It looks like you've already forgotten that you introduced yourself to me, Jason Stella!"
This caused Jason to just stare at him as he tried to recall their discussion, only to remember that Wisse was right.
"Oh..my bad!"
Acknowledging his fault, Jason felt only embarrassed for a moment before he entered the room.
"I found the solution to overwhelm an enslaving soul pact. Thanks for your help!"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Wisse might not have found the solution by himself, but he had helped Jason to find it out.
As such, he was thankful for the dragon's help.
Hearing him speak confidently piqued the dragon's curiosity hence he asked Jason straightforwardly.
"So what did you do with your soul world to terminate an enslavement soul pact?"
Even though Jason could have remained silent, he didn't feel the need to hide anything from Wisse.
If the dragon were to make a soul pact with someone, even Jason was not sure whether his soul world was strong enough to overwhelm the strength of a true dragon's soul.
At least not now, and Jason had already considered the fact that Wisse was not a pureblooded dragon too.
Whether this was an advantage or not was something Jason didn't know, but he was the last one to discriminate against someone because of their bloodline.
After he had explained to Wisse everything about how it was possible for him to destroy a soul pact, the dragon turned quiet for some time, only to say.
"That's a pretty crude and inefficient way, but as long as it works for you, I guess it's fine. But don't expect it to work every single time, let alone after you leave Argos.
What you're currently doing is playing with fire, and not something someone at the Lique stage should do, to begin with!"
Jason nodded his head without any angry retort Wisse because he was fully aware of this.
Despite lecturing Jason, Wisse was intrigued that the young man had found a way to terminate a soul pact so easily.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})There was no need for him to use a technique at all, and one could say that Jason used the supremacy of his soul to overwhelm the enslaved being before forcing it to expel and disintegrate the soul pact!
If Wisse were to tell this to his master, she would probably look at him as if he had gone insane during the time he'd spent on Argos.
Even he couldn't really believe what Jason and probably other humans too, were able to do, but it cemented his resolve to take the young halfling in front of him to visit his master!
"Lad, how about you follow me to Tagran? The cultivation energies there are incomparable to the scarce mana on Argos, and I can ask my master to teach you more about the chaos attribute!"
Jason had been unaware of Wisse's exact plan, but he had already expected him to say something similar to what he was listening to right now.
However, in the end, Jason could only shake his head as he replied,
"I have too many things to do on Argos right now, and it might take a few months before I'll be able to leave the planet.
Right now, I'm strong enough to face a few powerhouses, but there are too many to handle at once. I don't wanna leave the human race while they're still torn apart, and I'm not as strong as you after all!
Furthermore, I want to destroy a few world bridges, at least those that are directly connected to higher races, and some connected to stronger, and hostile basic races.
There are also world bridges that have extremely low restrictions allowing strong beings to emerge from them once they stabilize. Those have to be destroyed too!
These two steps will take a little bit of effort and time, so I cannot just leave. Please don't try to force me, because it won't do either of us any good...You would have to kill me in order to drag me away right now."
Wisse noticed that Jason had seen through his plan, but instead of showing his temper, he was able to stay extremely calm as his mind searched for solutions on how he could make the meeting between Jason and his master happen.
Others might have thought that this was unnecessary and counterproductive for his own teachings as he was wasting his precious time while reducing his master's time, but Wisse knew how much his master appreciated talents.
This also included those that brought talents to her, which was exactly what Wisse planned in the hope to receive more benefits.
He knew that this move would bring more profits than the effort he would have to put in.
Even lesser or low origin flames were not worthy of being a reward in the eye of the Chaos Dragon, Wisse's master!
As such, Wisse had thought of a simple solution, that prevented him from spending too much time on Argos, while being able to take Jason to his master!
"How about I help you solve your problems after you get your reward? As a true dragon, I can easily destroy world bridges as long as they don't have any profound protection mechanisms!
As for your problems with the human powerhouses, nobody is stronger than me on your planet. Even those puny insects you call Overlords would wag their tail in front of me If I unleash my true form!
In exchange, you will meet my master, is that fair?"
Jason tried to process Wisse's words, and he couldn't help but feel that something was off about the young dragon.
However, instead of rejecting his offer, Jason accepted it only to add a certain clause.
"I can come with you, because I wanted to leave Argos either way, but I want to know why you want to take me to your master!"
This was something Wisse had expected because it was only logical to ask the reason behind a true dragon's offer of help in exchange for a request of something as simple as meeting the master!
Smiling lightly, Wisse decided to answer honestly,
"There are two reasons for me to take you to my master. First, I can receive heavenly treasures that would help me adjust to my physique. It will bring me closer to the Ascension stage before I finally start to truly cultivate.
As for the other reason, I want to see your growth, and figure out whether you can fight against me in the future, or if I will remain stronger than you.
Your demonstrations during the last two days were more than enough to make me believe that you are the true dark horse that not many races know of!"
