God's Eyes (Web Novel)
chapter-327

Without further ado, Shane picked up Jason to look out for Dalia, who should be somewhere in the house with Emily because it was already late at night.

Looking through all the rooms in his small house, he was still unable to find her, which caused him to wonder where his wife went when Jason said that both were outside, lying on a chair, not doing anything at all.

Seeing this through his mana eyes, Jason couldn't help but feel as if both Dalia and Emily were enjoying their free time while he and Shane were working hard.

This caused his overjoyed mood to plummet by a small margin because he hoped that Emily would be as hard-working as he was.

However, Jason only thought so because of his own selfishness as the thought build a faction in the future was apparent in his mind.

He felt that Emily was the perfect first member because of several reasons.

Not only is her mana aptitude high, but her first soulbond was a Guardian-ranked beast.

As such, he couldn't help but feel a little bit bitter for a short while before he told himself that they were only recuperating after working hard.

At least Jason tried to convince himself that it had been like this.

Shane was still carrying around Jason in one hand, which was weird, and only when they left the house, did Shane put him down.

Artemis followed them by flying behind both while Scorpio returned to the soul world only to appear next to Jason, outside the house.

Dalia and Emily noticed them already some time ago and Emily wanted to greet them, only for Dalia to hold her back, saying that everything was fine and that they would come over once they were done.

As such, they waited patiently for more than half an hour, which was much longer than Dalia expected.

However, once Shane and Jason appeared outside, both Dalia and Emily could see Shane's satisfied expression and Jason looking at them as if he was about to ask 'Are you two in a vacation resort?'

The latter didn't really bother Dalia much and she only smiled gently at Jason.

Worse was Shane's satisfied expression because that was exactly the same expression he had on his face when he was about to tell her something shocking.

This caused Dalia's gentle smile to stiffen, while Emily sat up hurriedly.

She was about to stand up when Shane said that it was not necessary and that she should just stay seated if she didn't want to stand around awkwardly.

Emily was still not sure how to behave in front of Shane and he was aware of that because he felt similar.

As such, it was better for either of them to prevent acting awkwardly with each other.

Reverting his attention back to Dalia, his smile widened when he began to explain everything about Jason's situation to Dalia.

After he finished his short summary, Dalia couldn't help but blink several times.

"Huh?" She blurted out subconsciously before Dalia shot up from the chair after she realized what Shane said

"WHAT?!"

Averting her gaze to Jason who couldn't help but smile innocently as if the whole conversation had nothing to do with him, Dalia felt the desire to beat her disciple up igniting from deep within her.

"So you want to tell me that your black origin flame is about to construct a fortified soul conjunction and that this might as well be one of the criteria for it to evolve?"

Taking a few deep breaths to calm down she cleared her mind before saying

"So....you want to tell me that your origin flame requires a fortified soul conjunction for its first evolution…?"

Dalia was unsure what hurt her more….that Jason was about to establish a fortified soul conjunction with his origin flame which she couldn't even do after more than a century or that his black origin flame required a fortified soul conjunction to evolve...

Slumping back on the lounger she lied on before, Dalia sighed deeply before glaring at Shane

"That's why I hate seeing you with this expression!!!"

Smiling innocently, Shane tried to act as if he didn't know what was going on, when Dalia decided to ignore him to look at Jason once again.

"Do you have enough soul energy or is it necessary for you to adjust your schedule to practice the Heaven's Hell technique more often again?"

This was a question Jason also asked himself and he was not sure what exactly the answer was.

Right now he had almost 10,000 vacant soul energy units but Jason couldn't say how many soul energy units the construction of the fortified soul conjunction would require.

Furthermore, he was also unsure if the black origin flame was able to utilize more soul energy in one day than he could regenerate.

As such, he just said

"I should have more than enough soul energy units. I can take care of my schedule myself, but I think you should be more worried about Emily rather than me. She contracted a Guardian-ranked beast which required at least 10,000 soul energy.

If I'm not wrong, the emerald-colored egg will turn into a Mid-Guardian ranked beast, if not something stronger!"

Hearing this, Emily flinched, only to look at Jason with pain in her eyes as she said

"I already practiced the Heaven's Hell technique 3 times in two days! It hurts so much and I can't do more than that either way…."

'Her soul world's soul energy replenishing process is faster than the average, that's good!' Jason just thought before he smiled at Emily, saying

"That's good then, once it hatches you should treat your soulbond as if it's your own child.

That's a precaution for the possibility that your soul energy is not high enough once it reached maturity!"

After he said so, Jason excused himself before he entered the house again.

Once he entered his room, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths as he clenched his teeth.

'Why is it so damn painful?!' He asked himself, holding his chest, knowing that the reason for it was his origin flame establishing the fortified soul conjunction with him.

He never expected that this procedure could hurt him so much when Artemis and Scorpio emerged next to him.

Approaching him, they touched him faintly before Jason noticed that the pain was drastically reduced by almost 2/3.

Not only could he take on his soulbonds' pain because of his fortified soul conjunction with both Artemis and Scorpio but it also worked the other way around, which they demonstrated to him.

Artemis took ⅓ of his pain and Scorpio did the same, which allowed Jason to breathe much easier.

Thanking his soulbonds, Jason caressed them for a while before he practiced the Heaven's Hell technique.

After that, he absorbed mana for a few hours before it was already for Emily to return to the shop.

Giving her the goods he produced during the last week, she nodded her head.

Emily also asked him if she could go absorb mana in the backroom if there weren't too many customers, which Jason accepted.

He already hinted several times that she should focus on her mana core rank and soul energy for now before anything else.

As such, Jason couldn't help but feel glad when she asked him that question, which indicated to him that she was starting to understand what she had to take care of .
