God's Eyes (Web Novel)
chapter-723

"What the…Why do I get so much time to pass the first trial?! Are you fucking kidding me…two years?! So I either advance floors during that time or do whatever I want?! Is that how it is?"

Jason couldn't believe himself as the robotic voice resounded in his mind.

Having entered the first floor, the voice disappeared, and Jason realised this soon after.

As such, he forced himself to calm down, before he made sense of the situation.

'I really won't be able to leave the dungeon anytime soon, even if I advance through the floors with a breathtaking speed. Is that how it is?' Jason wondered, and even if he wanted to fail the first trial, it would take him two years to get out of it.

This period was too long to waste doing nothing, and Jason understood this quickly.

At the same time, it was also obvious that the Immortal eye he had purchased for Luna, wouldn't be handed out in the next few years.

'If the first trial already takes two years…won't the other trials take similarly long?!'

Jason only got 20 years recently, but now he was supposed to stay inside a dungeon, for years at that.

It felt weird, but he was not exactly displeased.

There was only one thing that bothered him, which Jason didn't expect.

It was not the fact that Luna wouldn't receive the Immortal eye from him because that was something the others could fulfill too.

Instead, Jason was sad about not seeing Jennifer for such a long time.

'I hope I can reach her through the messenger card, or she will be in Lanro when I return…otherwise, it will be difficult to meet her again!'

He was still not sure what the emotions within him exactly were, but Jason had to be stupid to not understand that Jennifer had become extremely important to him.

While he didn't know when exactly this had happened, Jason could only shake his head before sighing deeply as he emerged on the first floor.

The information about the negation of the placid behavior of the beasts inside the dungeon bothered Jason, but he didn't think too much of it first.

Unfortunately, it was exactly the placid behavior of beasts that had allowed Jason to pass through the ground floor without much resistance.

Upon emerging on the first floor, Jason first noticed that the environment was extremely similar to that of the previous floor.

As such, he was already familiar with it and didn't require too much time to understand everything clearly.

However, the biggest change that differentiated the ground and the first floor was something that Jason had to face only moments after he emerged on it.

A small group of three Triceratops that followed the path of Pryr was suddenly charging at him, making the ground tremble due to their tremendous weight. They rushed towards him with the speed of a high-velocity train.

Turning around, Jason saw the three Pryr beasts, whose eyes had a slight tinge of a crimson color.

This made him doubt the situation, but without further hesitation, Jason exerted the Floating Sky movement technique before circulating large amounts of mana through his body.

Catapulting himself towards the Triceratops, Jason summoned Byakur, which he enveloped in Solaris flame only a moment later.

Afterward, he used a small amount of mana to use his two curses, and even the abyssal effect, with which he targeted the closest Triceratops that was also the strongest one.

Weakening it with a subtle paralyzation made it almost stumble as it lost its balance.

At that moment, Jason emerged below its head as his body leaned forward, almost reaching the ground.

This was already a risky position, considering that the front legs of the Triceratops were only a few centimeters away from his head.

Yet, without a single trace of fear, Jason twisted his body, while swinging Byakur around in a smooth arc, targeting the unprotected parts of the Triceratops' head- the lower part of its neck!

Because he made use of many unique properties of his at once, Jason had been able to behead the Triceratops without encountering a single issue.

Meanwhile, the other two Triceratops witnessed what Jason did, only to attack him even more fiercely that gleamed in their eyes.

Unfortunately, it was exactly this behavior that caused them to be reckless, and they ended just like their brethren a few moments later.

Jason took a deep breath when he finished off the third and last Pryr Triceratops before looking at their corpses.

'If the dungeon expects me to store away tens of thousand beasts, it is truly stupid…but I cannot simply waste the corpses…' He thought, realising that the next two years would be filled with blood and death.

Sighing deeply, Jason stored away from the first corpse, and he was just about to store the rest, only to witness them disintegrate into countless particles.

This shocked him greatly, but only a moment later, he smiled lightly.

'The corpse I stored away is still there, so the dungeon just doesn't want to see the corpses being wasted either, I suppose.'

Jason was not sure if his assumption was correct, but in the end, it didn't really matter.

More important was the fact that the Triceratops had been ferocious, even though they were known for being calm and friendly as long as one didn't bother them.

Thus, Jason didn't need much to comprehend that the negated placid behavior was not everything that seemed to have been tweaked to increase the difficulty level.

Instead of becoming neutral, the placid behavior of the herbivores seemed to have been replaced with a ferociousness, Jason didn't expect.

Yet, this didn't seem to be bad.

At least, Jason felt as if the Triceratops hadn't been able to fight properly owing to the forced change in their natural behavior.

At the same time, they had been unable to think calmly, let alone use their entire strength which was likely to be based on the recklessness with which they fought.

Because of that, Jason thought that the removal of placid behavior might not be as bad as he had first imagined.

However, it was exactly this assumption that was completely wrong, and while Jason had been deep in his own world of thoughts, many things were happening inside the first floor.

Only a few minutes had passed since Jason emerged on the first floor, but a second, and third group of beasts was already approaching him. They ignored each other, despite being predator and prey, solely focussing on Jason as if he was the only existence they saw.

It was at this moment that Jason understood something.

'Not only their behavior changed, but I was also turned into the sole target of their ferociousness??'

With his new understanding, Jason was able to reevaluate the dangers of the first floor, and everything became clear to his mind.

The cultivation base of the beasts inside the first floor was not different compared to the basement.

Yet, at the same time, their strength had changed tremendously, while the same occurred to the dangers within the first floor.

Fighting the groups of beasts one after another could not be considered to be an issue.

Rather, it was relatively easily done owing to Jason's current strength.

However, the biggest problem was the fact that his fight was attracting the attention of other beast groups that would attack him, and no one else.

The Velociraptors and Parasaur did not even realise that the other group had appeared in front of Jason, who had just finished the fight against the Triceratops group.

'So…it's like that?' He thought and his lip curled upwards, forgetting about the time he would have to spend inside the first trials.

'This will be interesting!'
