Chapter 542 - Thunder Legacy

Jason was astonished that Jarid nonchalantly accepted that he was not confident of defeating him in three months.

At the same time, he assumed that the young Olympian's gut feeling was telling him that his opponent was not to be taken lightly.

If Jason were, to be honest, he felt exactly the same, and a certain excitement he hadn't felt in a very long time ignited within him.

Both felt that they should fight without holding back, but Jason remembered that he hadn't planned on using Solaris' fire affinity!

Using a fire affinity that was strong enough to injure newly advanced beings at the Prismar stage owing to the mana nullification and life force draining ability, was not how he wanted to fight.

As such, Jason decided that he would use everything but the fire affinity before he was sure that Jarid would be able to fight him head-on even if Solaris' flame were to be utilized.

Thus a minute later, they were standing opposite each other inside the combat arena. Jarid seemed to smile in excitement, while Jason's smile was covered by the silver dragon mask.

However, through the slits in the mask, a faint golden light could be seen, telling Jarid that he was not the only one who was excited to fight!

Just as the fight was about to start, both turned serious and the atmosphere in the entire colosseum tensed up.

At that moment, everyone realized that something great was about to happen. Never had the spectators seen Olympian Jarid so seriously. Normally he would be cold, and rational, finishing off his opponents as fast as possible.

But right now, despite the serious aura that was something new to see, the guard he had put on was enough to astonish everyone.

Jason had already taken off the robe he was wearing, knowing that it would only become a hindrance during the fight.

Through this he exposed his skin, and the fortified soul conjunction he would utilize in a moment, but that was the last thing Jason was currently thinking about.

His entire mind was focused on Jarid, and it was the moment their fight began, that Jason realized something with a radiant smile.

'Finally!'

When their fight started, Jarid didn't waste any time as he unleashed his thunder constitution. At the same time, he exerted the special technique he had learned for several years and had been waiting to showcase exactly for that moment.

Jarid's body refinement and cultivation technique were both at the advanced terra grade, enhancing only one affinity; the thunder affinity he possessed!

While this increased his strength by another notch, Jarid's unique constitution allowed him to increase the benefits received by both techniques drastically, while the special technique he had practiced painstakingly with, combined everything at once.

A moment after the fight had started, Jarid's entire body was enveloped in a dense thunder armor whose currents crackled around him like a livewire.

The torment energies revolving around him destroyed everything in Jarid's proximity, tearing apart the arena around him.

Only a moment later he catapulted himself towards the front, creating a cavity at the position his feet had pushed himself from.

Not a single spectator below the Prismar stage could keep up with his speed properly, and the only thing everyone was able to perceive was a huge bolt of thunder strike shooting towards Jason, who had yet to move.

Despite his earlier worry if he should use his black fire affinity or not, Jason couldn't help but smile brightly.

Within an instant, his entire body was enveloped in thick, black scales that were intertwined with a golden vein-like pattern. 

At the same time, a three-meter-long tail grew out of his coccyx while Byakur manifested in his hand.

Jason didn't even think about using the other weapon that had remained unused inside its scabbard during the last several dozen battles he had fought.

Right now, Jason wanted to test Petri's defensive capabilities, but at the same time, he felt like using Solaris' flames to overwhelm his opponent.

In the end, curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but disregard using Solaris for the moment.

Instead, he wanted to see how far he could go by using everything but his strongest soulbond!

As such, he stared at Jarid, whose entire being had transformed into a thunder enveloped monster.

Jarid's mind was calm and he noticed how unruffled Jason was.

At the same time, it was evident that his defensive capabilities had increased drastically as the familiar currents of primordial energy enveloped the armor he was suddenly wearing.

He might have been oblivious to mankind's unique traits, but seeing how an entire armor and a three-meter-long tail grew out of Jason was more than enough to tell Jarid that something was about to happen.

Nevertheless, backing off after having utilized every means to strengthen himself for a total of 10 minutes, was not what Jarid would ever do.

What he demonstrated to everyone proudly was his Thunder legacy, something he had painstakingly worked on for his entire life.

It had been a culmination of years of sweat, blood, pain, and efforts that had made him who he was coupled with the will to strive for more; to become someone the Olympus federation could rely on!

They were just a bunch of races that had been forced to immigrate to a planet with a scarcity of mana. They hadn't had much time to grab necessary equipment or weapons before hastily scurrying away to the nearest possible planet while running for their lives. 

The races had built everything from scratch and wanted nothing but to return to their former glory, and Jarid wanted to become the person who could lead them to that goal.

All of that belonged to the Thunder legacy and Jason could feel the emotions radiated by Jarid.

At the same time, his eyes could follow every single of Jarid's moves as he was still not strong enough to overwhelm his eyes.

Though Petri's scales and only a part of his tail had been constructed when Jarid had merely been three meters away from him, Jason was still able to remain calm.

Everyone, even the God's Children, including Merl and the other human powerhouses thought that Jason was about to lose right now.

He had yet to make his move and was already in a pinch.

At least, that was what they saw.

Suddenly, without a warning, huge streams of mana that had been gathered in Jason's eyes shot out.

Jason ignored the fact that he was unable to tell how strong his Emperor Eyes' abyssal effect had become after absorbing the divine aura, let alone the enhanced versions of the petrification and race specific weakening curse, as he released everything at once.

Only a small margin of mana that he didn't use for the abyssal effect remained unused inside his mana core, preventing the possibility of killing Jarid or destroying himself by straining his eyes and mana veins.

Jarid, who had been focused on attacking Jason, without holding back even if he were to stay unmoving, suddenly felt as if his entire body was becoming heavier.

As he stared straight into the golden eyes, his body felt heavier as something eerie seemed to envelop his entire body.

He was unable to control the thunder that enveloped his body like an armor, and it was as if his affinity was struggling against something dark, and oppressive, reducing its lethality drastically!

Using his utmost efforts to control his heavy body, and the thunder armor, Jarid didn't even notice that his sight blurred as his mind had already entered a place full of nothing but eternal darkness.
