BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138 - Worship& Fear
Suddenly Milo sensed something in the far distance that looked down on him seemingly comparing his whole existence to an ant.
Noticing the sheer pressure radiating from the being, Milo′s eyes widened and tears poured down his cheeks, when he fell down on his knees, without the will to stand up once again, while his wet eyes turned lifeless.
The water jets, flying towards Jason disintegrated into smithereens due to the sheer pressure radiated from Jason′s killing intent and mana, while Bella noticed that something was wrong when Jason\'s eyes pierced right into her mind.
This caused her to enter a deep black abyss like Milo, without anything except a weird but alarming and dangerous pressure radiated from within.
Without noticing, she subconsciously fell onto the ground exactly like Milo, while her eyes remained dry, due to her distance towards Jason.
Shivering violently, the frightening and uncomfortable sensation caused by the pressure completely shattered her will to fight Jason.
She only dared to look at the bottom, not even daring to try looking into Jason\'s eyes due to fear and a small trace of reverence emerged within her without her knowing.
What happened a moment ago was deep imprinted into her mind, causing a deep fear against Jason to appear.
Jason meanwhile receded his killing intent as his whole body grew weak, almost forcing him to collapse on the ground when Seron took a hold of him.
"Can you inject another mana injection?" Jason′s weak voice could barely be heard by Seron, but he only nodded and injected Jason with mana.
After receiving a full portion of mana, Jason immediately circulated around his body and partially into his aching eyes,
Standing firmer on the ground below him, Jason looked around and sensed that almost everyone was looking at them, or rather him which was weirdly enough not as uncomfortable as a few months ago.
The only problem was, that they looked at him as if he was a monster that cultivated itself a human body, trying to invade mankind.
Nevertheless, behind the apparent fear these top students felt, there was also a deep sense of worship to the strong.
Defeating the two top combatants from Class1 as a 1st Adept rank was definitely more than anyone of them could do.
They already had problems overwhelming either common students one or two levels above them or stronger students with the same mana core size.
Jason\'s achievement broke their worldview completely and the only thing that reassured them was his exhaustion which could be clearly seen by everyone.
While the classmates outside the sparring grounds looked at Jason with awe and fear, Milo and Bella had pale faces, while Milo fainted, Bella was still looking at Jason with fear as a quiet "S**T" could be heard.
Since Bella entered the 6th affiliated Vanguard school, she never even looked at the students in lower classes and focused only on herself in order to become stronger in order to enter the main school, however, this black-haired youth in front of her should only be a 1st Adept rank from Class54, causing her to grit her teeth.
She was terrified…If more youths like Jason existed, why did she even try to become stronger over the last few years...
Bella mastered many tierless combat techniques, increased her mana core rank as fast as possible in order to earn some pocket money by hunting stronger beasts and after her soul-awakening, she was not only admitted to a branch of one of the best schools on Astrix, but even her soulbond was special.
And now this feeble youth in front of her beat her within seconds by a single glance?!
She couldn\'t accept it! Trying to stand up, she pushed herself from the ground and was about to stand firmly on the ground, when her vision blurred, causing her to lose balance before she fell back to the ground.
Till was already acting, when he felt the deep sense of killing intent in addition to Jason′s eyes\' ability, causing even him to hesitate for a millisecond.
While rushing towards Milo and Bella, Till was deep in thoughts, thinking that Jason′s eyes couldn\'t only be mana eyes…
\'Was his background a lie? Is he maybe…? No! Otherwise he would never accept Shane as his master!\' Till regarded Jason as mysterious, which he found uncomfortable, and even more so because his disciple and Jason seemed to have a proper friendship.
Milo and Bella were taken out of the combat area by Till while Jason received help from Seron.
Once they sat down, nobody dared to come closer to them while they were only looked at like zoo attractions.
Jason decided to ignore his peers while Seron didn\'t even notice them to begin with because he looked at his friend as confused as the others.
Even though he stood behind Jason, rather than being invaded by Jason′s killing intent, Seron could only feel a hunch of awe when the mana inside Jason surged out from an unknown ability, which most likely came from Jason′s special trait.
Because he didn\'t want to inflict the killing intent into Seron, Jason could barely prevent it from surging into his friend behind him.
This caused the overall killing intent to weaken slightly, but the results were even better than Jason expected.
While Seron looked at Jason, he was thinking carefully about his eyes\' ability and how far he could go with them.
Jason wanted to participate in the Big-Three tournament and receive all kinds of rewards, which was more than enough reason for him to have one or two tricks in his sleeves which would definitely not bad and his black Origin flame could be considered one, as it was already as strong as a mid/late-evolved fire affinity.
But his eyes\' ability seems unstable, without injecting a little bit of killing intent into them.
And killing intent couldn′t just appear like that, at least for now.
There had to be even the slighted trigger point to cause a surge of killing intent accumulating within him, even if it was only something minuscule and he couldn′t control it perfectly with his will.
Without enough mana, his eyes\' ability was also not strong enough and thinking about it, Jason estimated that he could barely intimidate someone at the same mana core rank or slightly above while creating a small seed of fear within them.
To accomplish this, he had to inject all of his mana inside the ability, which would almost completely destroy his combat prowess, as fighting without mana was not the best thing one could do.
It was a one-time attack and not something to attack multiple times.
The greater blessed wolf healed Milo and Bella as well as possible, while Milo woke up after 10 minutes.
Bella was already able to stand once again after a short recuperation time and looking towards Jason, a deep sense of anger could be seen within her eyes with a small hue of fear, covered deep in the back of her eyes.
She had never feared anyone until now, as her mana aptitude was advanced and since her soul awakening a few months ago, she was revered as a prodigy.
Now, however, she kissed the ground in front of another youth, that was seven levels below her to boot at.
Milo woke up and looked around confused, not knowing what happened, when he spotted the black-haired youth with golden eyes and he seemed to be in deep thoughts.
Cold sweat poured down his back and without caring for anything else, he rushed towards Jason, as his instincts told him.
One had to know, that Milo\'s instincts were extremely good and since he was young they always benefited him.
He wasn\'t particularly rich, but due to his instincts, he picked an evolved ranked beast with the potential to reach the magical rank, which made not only himself but also his family proud.
In addition to his large number of soulbonds he can form, he had sometimes even found rare herbs within the wild-zone that were covered extremely well.
One time, he even helped an old lady who fell on the ground while crossing the street.
It was not only his instincts that caused him to help her but also his innately rather soft heart, while he looked rather crude and spoiled on the outside.
Thanks to helping the old lady, he found out that she was the mother of a Grandmagus, who was extremely thankful for helping his mother.
As such he gifted Milo something expensive.
Since then he completely trusted his instincts.
Appearing in front of Jason, the black-haired youth was thrown out of his thoughts as he looked up not knowing what Milo wanted from him.
Even though Milo flinched when they looked into each other\'s eyes, he bowed down deeply and shouted with all his might.
"I`m sorry for provoking you two!" which caused an even more chaotic situation than Jason and Seron defeating Milo and Bella, as everyone thought it was more of a one-time thing due to the top students underestimating their opponents, even if the spar created a deep sense of fear within them.
Everyone looked perplexed at Milo and Jason, while Bella turned around with widened eyes, shocked about what her friend said to Jason, not understanding what the hell Milo thought.
Jason looked straight into Milo′s eyes that quivered and he could see sincerity, even though there seemed to be something else.
As such he accepted Milo′s apology, because he wasn\'t hurt, rather than that he beat him up.
"It\'s fine, if you want, you can sit down."
He didn′t care about Milo at all but it was only weird, that he seemed to have accepted the abyss ability from his eyes rather easily, compared to Greg and Leo Hearth, which wondered him.
Without further ado, Milo followed what Jason said and Seron′s thought seemed to turn even more complex noticing that.
"Was he a king in his former life?"
