Chapter 743 - Rebellion

Defeating the Bullhorn Jaguars hadn't been a problem for Jason. They might have been at the first and second threshold of the Prismar stage, but his strength already exceeded theirs.

Even without using Byakur, by solely relying on his ice affinity, they would have been defeated without a further issue.

Yet, owing to the squirming girl that cried her eyes out in his arms, Jason had been severely restricted, which increased the difficulty he had to face.

Nevertheless, there hadn't been a problem, and Jason was more confused at how a Mewi was able to cry than anything else.

However, other than that, he felt a surge of anger within him.

He couldn't help himself but feel angry at the tribe chief and others because the girl had almost entered the forest, and nobody had realised this.

How was that even possible?

But that was not what caused his frustration to flare up because it was the tribe chief's words and reaction to his rescue. It honestly made Jason question whether the Dungeon was testing his ability to help others to survive, or his patience.

Unfortunately, he was unable to hold back anymore just as the tribe chief was about to order everyone to attack, which Jason could clearly sense according to the hue that enveloped the tribe chief.

"What the hell! Get your life together and don't blame others for being too incompetent to take care of your problems!

Why are you discussing what you want to do with me, if you gather all your men, just to neglect the entire village's protection? Is that really worth it? IS IT?!" 

Jason was furious because the entire discussion the tribe chief had initiated was nothing but a mere play to show off his strength.

He didn't care about the weird mix of emotions that were represented in the hue that enveloped the tribe chief, but even the other Mewi were acting as if they were disappointed.

If not for the Trial's mission, he would have definitely beaten up the tribe chief by now. Being forced to keep a calm was even worse as his Celestia aura mirrored his anger which was directly connected to his range of emotions.

It didn't look like the tribe chief was about to accept the well-meant advice. He had issues, and it was only the other Mewi that seemed to be shaken.

That was mostly the case because they saw the little Mewi in Jason's arm, playing around with his hair, with a faint smile on her face. It was a sharp contrast to the tears that trickled down her cheeks, while a bunch of dead Darkness Jaguars were lying behind them.

In the end, the Mewi did something they had never done in their entire life- they ignored the hierarchy of the village and the tribe chief's order to hunt and kill Jason!

Just at that moment a female Mewi rushed towards Jason, or to be precise, the little girl in his arm, tears trickling down her eyes as she shouted out while sobbing.

"My baby!! Why did you leave the village?! Are you okay Lilia? Does anything hurt?"

Appearing in front of the little girl, the Mewi Jason presumed to be Lilia's mother, wanted to take her child, only for her to be rejected.

"Noo! I don't want to go... I want to play with him!!" 

This caused the mother to look at her little child in dumbfoundment, and even Jason couldn't help but look weirdly at Lilia.

In order to prevent any further issues, he gently transferred her to his other hand holding Byakur before carefully handing her over to the mother.

"It's probably hard to be a parent, but please don't let your child play around like that, not in a dangerous area as we are in."

Earlier, Jason didn't want to say anything about it, but the situation had been too dangerous to let it pass by as if nothing had happened.

Thus, he decided to give the mother some advice, and she nodded her head agreeing to his statement as words she hadn't meant to speak tumbled out of her mouth.

"I lost her because the tribe chief wanted everyone to gather…"

No sooner had she said this, she realised her mistake, which made her quiet down real quick.

After that, she quickly left the group with Lilia in her arms, who was reluctant to leave and wanted to play with Jason.

Jason smiled lightly, only to turn serious as he noticed that the tribe chief was approaching him with a grim expression.

This caused him to feel like punching him even more, but at the same time, Jason knew that he was not strong enough to do so...at least under normal means.

Trying to calm himself as much as possible, he even retracted his Celestia aura to a certain extent.

Yet, at the same time, Jason was ready to burst out with everything he had at hand, awaiting one wrong movement of the tribe chief that indicated an attack from the Mewi's side.

Jason was, by no means, worried about the other Mewi and it was only the tribe chief that made him feel odd.

Something about him confused Jason, and it was infuriating.

In the end, the tribe chief didn't stop, and he was rushing at Jason with an angry expression that was filled with wrath.

That didn't make any sense after what he had done to rescue the little Mewi, and the other men, and even women that had witnessed the commotion Lilia had caused by being missing, started to act up.

But they didn't do anything against Jason, rather they were starting to complain about the tribe chief, how he could act hostile against someone who had just rescued one of their people, and everything else they had to complain about.

Today's event didn't seem to be the first time something bad had happened. 

Whether it had to do with strangers and the tribe chiefs hate against them, or that something occurred because of his desperate need to boost his ego depicting that he was the strongest with all the power. 

In the end, it was only now that Jason procured information he didn't expect to learn about right now!

As such, Jason felt like he had been the cause of a rebellion, which was both good and also bad because he was supposed to protect the village, not tear it apart!

Most of the information was interesting and important enough to be remembered, and Jason decided to think about it later.

However, for now, he first had to overcome the issue known as the tribe chief!

He was a being at the Peak of the Prismar stage, and Jason knew that he needed him to protect the Village.

As such, Jason had to be careful.

Despite that, receiving backing from the sudden rebellion that was caused by him saving the little girl, only to be called fiend, and about to be attacked, Jason felt that the tables had turned!

Nevertheless, it was important to stay calm, and not to overreact, because every single move of his had to be perfectly executed.

Otherwise, the villagers that were slowly converting to his side, would abandon him once again, thinking that he was a stranger, which was the crucial point.

He was a stranger who was about to be killed, despite rescuing one of their people!

This caused a huge impact on the minds of the Mewi, changing everything!
