God's Eyes (Web Novel)chapter 862: importance of soulbonds

In the end, Jason felt that nobody inside the Shiman camp truly understood the importance and value of soulbonds.

None of the humans in the camp understood that soulbonds were living breathing beings and not tools; that they were intelligent and could feel emotions too.

However, that was not everything because the soul world of humans from Argos was essentially different from every kind of soul awakening Jason and the others had seen until now.

As such, everyone should be aware that the soul amplification from soulbonds was only active as long as the soulbonds were still connected with the binder.

Upon being killed or destroyed the soul amplification of the said soulbond would cease to exist, meaning that the binder's strength would decrease by the amplified factor!

As such, summoning one's soulbond into the battle was a risky affair and, something Jason could never do if he was not confident that nothing would happen to his dear soulbonds.

However, because Lux, the Lord of Death, had never cared if his soulbonds were getting harmed, this was a different matter for him. Thus, he summoned all of his soulbonds at once!

This was also some sort of combat style one could choose to utilise with a large soul world and many soulbonds that one didn't bother about losing.

It would probably be enough to instill fear in many Cultivators as they would be overwhelmed by the masses of strong opponents that appeared out of nowhere.

However, Jason was none of them, and exactly like three days ago, he allowed Solaris to enter his mana core. After that he intertwined his mana with divine energy, strengthening it to the extent at which Solaris' flame could burn through everything it touched.

Yet, just before he summoned his first flame, the death energy with the corrosive effect seemed to be at Lux's mercy because he recalled exactly what had happened the last time.

Thus, the death energy quickly spread out, tightly enveloping every single soulbond of Lux.

This was interesting, and so was the fact that the death energy had strong defensive capabilities.

It only took a single throw of a fireball at the Skeleton that was the closest to him to realise the same.

While trying to devour the death energy, Solaris' flame got extinguished instead.

Nevertheless, this didn't mean that the flame was useless. Rather, owing to its ability to burn through the energy Solaris' flames were slowly devouring the death energy around the Skeleton.

The effects were visible as the death energy was slowly losing its luster.

Through this, and other things he had noticed when he attacked, Jason got a clear idea of the majority of properties the death energy possessed.

Thus, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that Lux's efforts were completely wasted.

But that would only benefit him in the end. Not wasting further time, he allowed his mana core to release a thread of mana that was attached to Solaris.

Slowly merging together, Jason didn't think that it was necessary to hide anything right now as he sensed the hatred that was directed towards Lux.

Releasing the Hell Aura, a name Jason gave to the Celestia aura after Solaris influenced it, he followed it with the release of both the Stigmas.

The overall effect was the surrounding temperature increased to the extent that the shadows that covered the ground were repelled.

Instead, he focused on himself and the fact that he could freely use Solaris' flames.

This was owing to the tremendous amount of mana he replenished, followed by the minuscule mana consumption the black fire affinity required.

Because of that, it only took a fraction of a second for Jason to envelop himself in thick black flames.

He looked pitch black except for his crimson-red eyes that pierced through the searing hot black flames.

His gaze didn't falter as he stared straight into Lux's pitch-black eyes.

Staring into the depth of Lux's soul through his crimson-red eyes, a cold and sly smile appeared on his face.

Everything around him was engulfed by the black flames that caused the ground around him to burst open.

The dry and loose soil squelched under his feet and the low noise could be heard through the entire arena that was watching the battle in pin-drop silence.

Neither the spectators, and the Undead Soulbonds, nor the two opponents made any sound.

Every single pair of eye was glued to Jason, whose appearance had changed completely.

He looked like a being that was fire itself.

window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})For the first time, they all believed that Jason might kill them at any moment.

That was something they feared would happen if they were to utter a single sound and invite Jason's wrath.

The sudden change in Jason's demeanor shocked them too much.

From being calm and calculative, he had turned into someone who was only able to feel anger, hatred and pursue death.

It seemed almost as if he had gained a sudden temper out of nowhere, indicating that he might do something in a fit of rage, the moment anyone would dare step out of line.

However, Jason didn't care about anything like that because his only goal was to turn the Skeletons into cinder, destroying each and every soul amplification Lux received!

Consumed by rage and the urge to destroy everything in his wake, he intertwined his aura with Solaris' flames.

This turned the entire area the Hell aura enveloped into a field of brightly lit flames.

Having been released in an explosive manner, the flames emerged everywhere the Hell aura had spread through which was the open field they used to fight.

Burning through the Death energy, the flames were using up more and more mana in order to sustain themselves.

But, given the minuscule mana consumption Solaris' flames had after fusing with Jason, mana was the least of his worries right now.

Rather, Jason had to pay attention to none other than Lux, who was staring at his burning soulbonds in shock.

When Lux sensed the first soulbond's amplification disappear, he tried to retract them. It was then that he first noticed that the shadows on the ground had been repelled by Jason's Hell aura.

This realization hit Lux hard, and it was only now that he grasped Jason's plan.

'He wants to kill all of my soulbonds to lower the strength I received from the soul amplification!!'

It was not difficult to understand this, but before Lux had been confident in the shadows of his soul world through which his soulbonds were able to enter or leave his soul world.

However, now that the shadows weren't working anymore, and his soulbonds were burning despite the death aura that was supposed to protect them from the black flames, everything seemed to lose its reasoning.

In fact, Lux felt the same fear as three days ago emerging within him.

He helplessly watched as the strongest of his soulbonds began to burn like tinder, and he was unable to do anything against it.

Sensing how the two Low Ascendion stage Skeletons caught flames, Lux was stupefied.

Lux was too stunned to even move for a few moments.

It was then that he decided to do something nobody had ever been able to force him to do in a serious fight…not since his days on Argos.

Recalling his past, endless memories of pain and humiliation began to flash past his eyes.

He could vividly remember the way he had been treated on Argos, what had happened to his family including his parents and his sister and how the government had turned a deaf eye to their pleas for help.

A fresh wave of anger surged through him as wrath began to fill his entire being. Clenching his fists, he took his first step towards Jason as two shortswords manifested in his hand.

At that moment, a tiny trace of a red tint emerged in his pitch-black eyes . The blood orb he had fused with began to pulsate, acting as if it was, alive, a beating heart!
