God's Eyes (Web Novel)
chapter-114

He went closer to Jason, who was obviously scared about the released mana which approached him, suffocating him due to the pressure when he couldn´t breath anymore "M-Ma-Maana..c...c...core!" His eyesight blurred and Jason couldn't stay awake as he lost his consciousness.

The old man noticed something wrong when Jason's head turned red and he immediately concealed his mana when he heard the youth in front of him.

"Oh….Sorry!!!!" Mr.Blair said as he ran towards Jason, putting a hand on his chest and injecting a marginal amount of mana inside him, to operate his body normally.

His released mana was nothing to make fun of and Jason was only an Adept rank...

`That could have been embarrassing...Killing my treasure before he even accepted me!!`

But Old Drake and Till looked at Mr Blair in shock

'He said sorry?!?? Is that really the Blair we know? He seems to have aged quite a bit but is that really Mr.Blair who annihilated the Shore clan because they abducted his wife? Why is he so worried about Jason?`

Old Drake and Till looked at each other and the exact same thought appeared in their mind

' Is Jason their child?' With this thought, their eyes widened in shock as their gaze turned back to Jason that still looked extremely pale with blood leaking out of his eyes and mouth while Mr. Blair was taking care of him.

"It can't be, right? Jason has mana eyes and not the unique body of Mrs. Blair!" Till whispered to Old Drake, who faintly nodded.

"Rather than awakening an unknown special trait, one would more likely receive a special trait within the genetic predisposition." He acknowledged and they could only look at the two in front of them.

It didn't take long for Jason to regain his consciousness and the only thing he noticed was a gentle stream of mana circulating inside his body.

Opening his eyes the blood around seemed to have already dried up.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Jason was sure that it was the same man that was present at his soul-awakening.

However, he was baffled about the old man´s strength and more importantly why was he here.

"Who are you?" Jason questioned and he noticed that his teacher and Old Drake were obviously suspicious and worried because of the old man's appearance.

Jason thought he could see a faint trace of fear in their eyes but why should they be afraid of this old man even if he seemed extremely strong?

Was he dangerous?

"My Name is Shane Blair and you don't have to be afraid of me.

Just call me Shane for the time being.

I'm not here to hurt you or anyone here, rather its the complete opposite."

Turning to Old Drake he proposed

"I obviously won't kill the Goblin King because it will draw too much attention on me, but I can protect the city in the shadows. Your Lord ranked being will need at least a week to come over here to Astrix considering that they will use their fasted flying soulbonds without caring about its health. "

Old Drake's lips twitched and even if he didn't want to admit it he had to acknowledge the fact.

It was already hard to predict the thoughts of the Goblin King and if he decided to attack Cyro city before the reinforcement arrived, it would be too late, causing everyone´s death.

He sighed and asked frustrated "What do you want?"

Shane Blair raised his hand and pointed towards Jason making his stance clear.

"Let me talk with him and you guys have to form an advanced soul contract with me, so that nobody will ever get to know about me being alive or that I´m on Astrix."

An advanced soul contract was more serious than a `common` soul contract that could `only` destroy one's soul once the contractor breached the contract

The advanced soul contract was different and the soul would already start burning, once the contracted individual had the single thought of breaching the contract´s content.

As such, it was impossible to betray someone, and additionally, if someone were to disregard the searing pain and continue with their thoughts of betraying the contract's content, one would die while enduring unbearable pain.

After thinking for a moment, Old Drake and Till accepted his proposal as it was not bad.

They would have to lie to their surrounding as if Mr.Blair had never been there, but they wondered why Mr. Blair wanted to talk to Jason.

Mr. Blair was cruel and bloodthirsty as long as someone thought of doing something against his woman but he had never intercepted in humanities issues or supported foreign intelligent races in any way.

It also seemed like Jason had seen Shane Blair at least one time before, even though he wasn´t sure who exactly Shane was.

Otherwise, he wouldn't ask who he is, with such a confused expression.

They were still hesitating what to do when Old Drake´s quantum bracelet began to inform him with dozens of notifications.

He frowned and opened the holographic screen only to pale after seeing who these notifications were from and what they were about.

Till Greil looked over and his face was almost immediately drained of blood and paperwhite.

"We accept!!" Both shouted at the same time and even Jason could roughly comprehend what was going on because they accepted the old man´s or rather Shane´s offer after reading through the messages.

Frowning, Jason had a bad premonition.

Shane only smiled lightly and a transparent sheet with silver letters on it formed out of thin air and Jason noticed a thread coming out of Shane´s body supplying the transparent sheet with something?

Jason had only once seen such a threat and it was when Seron took out his soul weapon.

As such Jason concluded that this transparent sheet was formed out of soul energy and a marginal thread of Shane's soul.

Suddenly Jason noticed two additional treads coming out of his teacher and Old Drake´s respectively and they signed the transparent sheet with their name and soul.

As such the contract was easily finished and Shane took out a large marble, that was filled with brimming and vigorously flickering mana, which shocked Jason.

Multiple runes were inscribed on it and Shane gave the marble to his teacher while instructing

"This multi magic device can tell you where the Goblin Lord currently is.

Additionally, it can release a curse to weaken the Goblin King slightly and another function is the construction of a mana grade-3 dome that not even guardian-ranked beasts can break.

Just fight within it and release the curse and you will be able to defeat the Goblin King if you're not completely stupid, alright? If the mana inside is not enough, just finish the Goblin King by yourself. I don´t think you can´t even defeat a weakened Lord ranked beast, right?"

Shane said when he turned to Jason as he said with a smile

"Do you want to watch a large beast tide from close up?"

He completely disregarded the existence of his teacher and Old Drake, while Jason nodded.

Jason wasn´t sure if he should feel benevolence from the old man, because he saved him from the violent radiated mana or not because it was Shane´s own mana.

It was obviously an accident and Jason knew this existence in front of him could kill everyone in this city without any problem.

In the end, his curiosity about the old man in front of him won.

He wanted to know why he was here or more likely about this man´s past and why it seemed like he was hiding in Astrix, even though he seemed so strong?

From who was he hiding and what was going on?

But Jason knew that the old man wanted to talk to him because Shane had already said that and now he was also expectant to spectate a high tier beast tide led by Goblins.

There was no reason to reject Shane´s offer and the old man who was only an arm's length away from him touched his shoulder when space twisted with both of them suddenly vanishing into thin air.

While Till was shocked, Old Drake sneered "Show off… he never changes" and a small smile appeared on his face.

"If only your wife wasn't abducted from the Shore family, you would have never annihilated their clan and the other big clans and families wouldn't have pursued you…. Fleeing and Hiding all the time shouldn't be considered living…. "

Jason noticed the space around them twisting and suddenly both of them were standing above the city.

He was enveloped by Shane´s thick mana he controlled and both stood in the air without caring about manifesting wings or anything similar to that.

Shane could disregard the natural gravitation without summoning wings on his back or using abilities to float but only his mana alone was able to do that.

This astonished Jason and he wondered, how strong Shane really was, as his identity seemed mysterious.

He was also curious about the space portal he seemed to have manifested, which teleported them far away.

However, there was no time for him to think about that when he noticed a green mass that began to slowly move towards the dome, while the darker green colors seemed to be faster, already making their first step through the dome.

Jason and Shane could see everything from above and Shane tore open space, causing them to appear closer to the mass of green dots, that could now be identified as Goblins.

Both were only 50 meters above them and the goblins were not able to sense or see them as they ran past them without caring that a terrifying existence like Shane stood above them

"Let's look at how the City guards handle the situation," Shane said, smiling lightly.

He would only help in perilous situations in order to stay lowkey, while Till would have to kill the Goblin King.
