The next few hours were awkward and embarrassing and Jason tried to focus on his passive mana replenishing proficiency.
Greg wasn't aware of what happened and he took out a few mana stones to gather mana into his mana core.
Hours passed and the flying car slowed down by a significant amount, which was noticed by everyone.
Looking out of the window, a terrifying huge dome appeared surrounding a wall that was at least 400 meters high….
Jason couldn´t see the radiating mana from it as it was still too far away but he didn't think the materials used to build such a glamorous white silver shining wall could be of a low grade.
The materials would have to be at least able to defend against strength-type magical beasts, more probably Guardian-ranked beasts.
Nobody could afford to slack off within a city with at least 80 million citizens and once their car entered the dome various requests were demanded.
Everything was quickly finished by Mark because they were nobles and Jason was registered as one of their employees, making everything less difficult for Jason to enter the city.
The flying cars' speed decelerated even more and they had to use the driving mode once they reached a certain radius because it was not allowed to fly inside the city without special certification due to various reasons.
It was not only shocking for Jason to see the gigantic size of Cyro city that was more than double the size of Jiro-City but every district looked more luxurious than the districts inside the c-grade city, he previously lived in.
Driving on the 30 meters width main road, Jason looked around to see that everything was radiating mana, even the concrete below him.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Mana with some kind of dots was radiated from it and Jason guessed it was a durability reagent inside the concrete, making it long-lasting, which was apparently quite common in higher graded cities.
Jason couldn't sense the mana of the city because they were sitting in the peak grade-2 flying car that hindered mana from leaking out of the car but also prevented mana from getting inside because it could obstruct one in gathering one´s mana, but he was able to see the mana streams and his eyes shined in a greedy light.
Upon looking down Jason screamed out as he was forced to deactivate his mana eyes with blood pouring out of them due to the thing he saw.
`OHHH HMY FFF**** LORD` "What is that??"
"What's wrong Jason? Are you not feeling well?" Malia and Greg asked while coming closer and Gabriella who heard Jason´s scream and the question turned around in astonishment
"Can you see the natural mana vein below the city, Jason?" She asked not hiding her shock.
"Natural mana vein?" Jason wiped away the bloody tears and looked at Gabriella confused
"Yes… Cyro-city is the Capital of Astrix city mainly because it was built on a natural mana vein which empowers the high-grade mana dome.
This is attractive for humans and beasts at the same time, and normally many high-ranked beasts would attack this city because of its innate high mana density but the specialized high ranked beast repellent which we use on a daily basis, terrifies most higher-ranked beasts, while the beasts below the magical rank can't even sense the mana vein at all.
But even if these beasts aren't scared by the repellent, you don't have to be scared, because of the high mana density, many powerhouses reside here to defend the city with its citizens.
Over the last 100 years since this city exists, there has not been one time where beasts broke through the wall in front of you.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})It looks like you can´t handle looking directly at the mana vein, which would be a considerable achievement, to begin with. Just try avoiding looking at it for now. Maybe you´ll be able to look at it, once you get stronger, but for now don't look at it, ok?"
Gabriella seemed to be concerned about Jason´s health, as such he could only nod
"Hmm...ok" Jason looked up and began using his mana eyes again because he was just too curious and without looking through the ground, everything should be fine.
He wanted to know what these weird colors were Jason saw right next to the mana vein but he was too scared to try it again.
But from his shallow experience he gained over the last few weeks, Jason thought that the color had to do something with a living being…
Until now Jason had only seen colors radiating from beasts and the Holy white baruci fruit!
The main problem was that there were even colors among them, Jason had never seen before and goosebumps appeared all over his body while he tried hard to review the situation again.
`Are these beasts or plants?...they weren't moving and the mana looked calm but I couldn't see it for a long time and it was very vague...ughh scary!!`
Sighing, Jason decided to try it later again, when he increased his rank because now it would be comparable to a suicide.
`Nice welcome present, thanks Cyro-City!!!`
They continued driving for more than an hour until they reached the outer area of the noble district that seemed to look oddly `normal`.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Many houses could be seen and they drove for a while along the street until they stopped at a three-story tall house with an unimpressive aura spreading out of it, compared to their previous house and the houses they saw before.
The front yard was around 300 sq.m. large, while the interior looked exquisite but not exactly impressive.
One could say this house was perfectly fit for a family of five with soulbonds because the backyard was 2000 sq.m. large with a big pond, combat area, and enough space for soulbonds to graze.
There was also a large tree spending shadow for one and Jason immediately fell in love with this house.
He didn't like the previous Fler´s mansion, but this house looked like a real home to him, without wasting too much space.
Greg was also in the backyard and a large transparent circle appeared in front of him with black outlines and a red hue spreading out of it.
Suddenly a 2 ½ meter tall dark brown bull with two thick and vicious-looking longhorns curved to the front appeared within, before charged to the green patch with loud steps.
"It looks unimpressive, rights? Haha...If it wasn't for the professional potential-test I probably would be thinking you were a fraud"
Greg said, laughing lightly, but Jason could see something hidden deep in his eyes as he wondered what happened.
"Well… luckily you believed me... Now you only have to find a way to evolve Taurus and everyone is happy, right buddy?"
Jason smiled brightly and looked at the smiling Greg… There weren't many words needed between them but there was something which annoyed him for quite some time since he got to know that the weakest wild zone in his surrounding had two-stars
"Greg… can you somehow help me increase my combat prowess? Maybe I need another martial art technique or just someone to train with but I don't know how to increase my proficiency with the dual master modification the Azure feisty ape technique.
Greg understood what Jason meant and gave him the signal to follow him.
Jason wasn´t sure what was going on but he followed Greg without saying a word.
They entered the small area designated for combat training and Greg got into position without changing his clothes or saying anything at all.
Before Jason could even say anything Greg announced.
"Ready?...3...2...1 GO!"
Greg restricted his strength to Jason´s level but his speed seemed extremely fast, as Greg appeared in front of the unguarded Jason within a second.
Evading Greg´s straight punch with a jump to the side Jason struggled to stay up fast enough when Greg´s kick into his stomach blew him away.
Greg distanced himself from Jason again and stated emotionless
"Stand up!"
Jason stood up while lamenting in his mind
`How can someone change his attitude so fast?!?!`
