Chapter 873 - Misunderstanding

Relieved that their search had ended, they shot towards the settlement, cutting the distance at a rapid pace. 

Everything seemed to work perfectly fine and there was not a single issue that they had to face. 

However, when they were less than five kilometers away from the settlement, many things were starting to change. 

First, Jason noticed that some sort of silent alarm had been initiated as they had crossed well-concealed runes. 

Being activated, the runes began to vibrate and the intensity only became stronger the closer they approached the ginormous settlement. 

This clearly told Jason that the next few minutes would be rather life-threatening for them if nobody was going to listen to him. 

After all, he might only be seen as a potential infiltrator, but Jennifer was different. 

She was not even a human and perfectly concealing her three merged energies was not possible either. 

This meant that she was unable to hide her identity of belonging to a different race, in a perfect manner. 

As such, Jason believed that a few problems stood in his way. 

However, it seemed to be a lucky day for him because there were only two humans who flew towards them. 

Yet, after perceiving their energy fluctuations, Jason's heart sunk into his stomach with worry gleaming in his eyes as he mumbled, 

"How can they cultivate in the mysterious energy?" 

His first thought upon seeing the two human Cultivators was that they were wandering souls but the closer they came, the clearer view Jason got of them.

Thus, he quickly realized that the humans who approached him with a rapid speed were not only between the Initial and Low ranked of the Ascendion stage, but that they were made of flesh, and certainly not souls that had materialized out of thin air.

Unfortunately, this only worsened the situation for Jason. 

Both of them cultivated with the mysterious energy both the mysterious puppet and the wandering soul of the Four-armed Gorilla had used.

Owing to this, Jason instantaneously knew that the two opponents were dangerous and stronger than normal Cultivators with the exact same cultivation base.

This made things a little bit difficult and turned the killing intent that seeped out of their body even more formidable. To him, they looked as if they were ferocious, starved beasts!

Jason couldn't help but feel that this was a huge disadvantage to him. 

But, when he looked into the air, he was unable to not smile.

The sun had just gone up and the bright sunlight shone on his body.

However that was not all because the moon was still fully visible, and the faint moonlight spilled on the beings that lived far away from it.

Initially, Jason found it a little weird for a realm to possess something like a sun or moon. 

Despite that, Jason couldn't help but smile lightly as moonlight transmuted mana coursed through his body.

Right now, the moonlight affinity was much stronger than under normal circumstances during a seemingly ordinary morning.

Instead of enhancing every single trait of something it intertwined by 30%, which was already an exceptional enhancement for a support affinity, the current enhancement it provided was way higher, at least at 50%!

Thus, Jason couldn't help but smile lightly as he allowed Artemis to enter his mana core owing to her being the strongest soulbonds he possessed.

She gave him the highest amplification, but even without an enhancement, Jason would be confident to defeat powerful opponents at the Low Ascendion stage.

Owing to her shared strength, he probably wouldn't run into any problem when he faced the opponents that were still two kilometers away from him.

"They're more dangerous than ordinary humans, try to avoid them." 

Jason said this to warn Jennifer, but seeing the resolve in her eyes, it seemed to be quite difficult for her to hold back.

She had also noticed that something was off the moment she saw Jason staring in one particular direction.

Jennifer was only able to see small black dots in her peripheral vision, but they were growing at a rapid pace. 

It was not long before she was able to see the facial expressions of two young men who were enraged.

However, even then, Jason wasn't the first to attack and make a move.

Instead of doing something he would regret later, Jason looked at the humans who were now less than a kilometer away from them as he shouted.

"Why the killing intent? Are guests not allowed?" 

If they didn't allow guests, leaving would be the easiest and safest option because he wanted to avoid getting into trouble, and not to jump straight into it.

Despite that, Jason felt like the settlement in front of him would be quite helpful for his future, which caused him to feel a little confused, asking the two questions he had previously in mind.

Yet, after receiving an answer from one of the young men, Jason was not really sure what he should think of the given situation.

"OBVIOUSLY we release the killing intent because we want to kill the vixen next to you!! We don't accept ANY other races than those who are direct descendants of Primal humans! Nobody except the few races of humans are allowed to stay in the Ninad beast realm!" 

His confusion was clearly visible, and when Jennifer turned towards him, she couldn't help but shrug her soldiers and smile dryly.

"It looks like I'm not really welcome…in this entire realm?"

Before, she hadn't been attacked, but Jennifer also noticed that the humans in front of them were cultivating with a different energy.

As such, while the humans from Argos had not even spared another glance at Jennifer, the same was not the case for the beings in front of them.

Hearing about the 'direct descendants of Primal humans', Jason thought that he understood what the young man was talking about.

After all,, his customized inheritance inside the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant was something of a merged inheritance clubbed together using both his Celestia bloodline and that of his human side.

Thus, he had already expected that his 'weaker' bloodline had something to do with Primal humans as they seemed to have been able to bind the manifested souls.

Yet, after sensing that the humans in front of him were circulating the mysterious energy through their bodies, he presumed them to be even closer to the Primal humans' bloodline than the humans from Argos!

There might be something he was missing out on, but Jason could clearly sense that humans from Argos and those who belonged to the same race as the two humans who were charging towards him co-existed in the same settlement.

Because he was able to see this through his Emperor Eyes, Jason was clear that he would be accepted in the settlement. 

But the problematic case was with Jennifer.

As such, the safe option for him would be to abandon her, which Jennifer was also clearly noticing. 

The thought made her feel restless for a moment as her worries about being abandoned, once again, resurfaced.

She was breathing irregularly, and it looked like she was entering a shocked state. 

Jennifer had begun to hyperventilate and was unable to cope with the situation.

Even though Jason knew that Jennifer's mental health was a little bit complicated, he didn't think it was worrisome. 

She was a strong girl who had overcome the blows of both her parents as well as her former master abandoning her, in addition to her father telling her that she didn't exist.

Hence, he believed that if the situation demanded him to do so, he would be forced to make her think she would be abandoned once again.

Sensing his, he pulled her closer to him and gently rubbed her back before he placed a light kiss on her cheek as he said.

"Just wait here, okay? I'll beat a little sense in them, and then we can look at what we have to do next, alright?"

Hearing his reassurance made Jennifer calm down before he turned around to the two young men who were not far away from them anymore.

Anger surging up within him, he manifested Artemis' wings, before he shot towards his opponents.
