BXBX NOVEL Chapter 231 - Owning A Favor
In his hands, one could see all devices, Shane previously gave him in order to protect himself by attacking if necessary, and when the Shadow walker released his weird ability, Jason sensed that he had to use them, which caused him to start preparing everything beforehand.
Now, however, Dalia was in his way, which was extremely bad but fortunately enough, she didn\'t completely lose control over herself and jumped to the side, with three black, crude, and unstable manifested sword rays shooting past her, with a strong draft brushing her hair.
Yreal slashed out with his sword, without enhancing himself or the sword with mana, only to notice three unstable sword rays preventing him from killing the already dying human in front of him.
He was already exhausted and weakened because he couldn\'t use his inheritance ability often at his current cultivation rank because it was very taxing when Yreal looked up to figure out who attacked him.
Staring into Jason\'s eyes, a faintly smile emerged on his face as he seemed to think about something for a second before he pulled his sword back.
Stepping back, the dark-blue sword disappeared, as Yreal said to Jason in the mysterious and unknown language
"You owe me a favor, Celestia halfling!"
Sighing, he mumbled to himself, "Why does he have to be a Celestia halfling?...Abducting a different halfling wouldn\'t be as bad as a Celestia…" before he turned around, disregarding everything.
Taking a few more steps, the Shadow walker manifested the familiar four-meter-tall darkness door in front of him.
Jason felt relieved and even if he wasn\'t sure if he understood everything correctly or what exactly was going on, he felt obliged to shout out "Thanks!" in human language.
This caused the Shadow walker to turn around before he nodded his head, only to vanish within the darkness door, which dissipated a moment later.
After the darkness door vanished, Jason\'s felt as if his energy was completely drained and his legs gave in, when the whole perilous atmosphere with the humongous amount of mana vanished as if it never existed.
However, he was not the only one, because everyone else was exactly the same, while Dalia forced herself to rush towards Shane.
Summoning her Driads, she appeared next to Shane, with tears streaming down her cheeks, as she released her mana in order to heal him, while the Driads did the same.
It seemed as if Shane had not a single trace of mana left inside his body, while the spatial seal around his severed arm couldn\'t be maintained anymore.
Jason never saw Dalia crying or Shane looking being so weak and seeing this, he slowly began to comprehend what happened a moment ago, with goosebumps covering his whole body.
Figuring out that he and the others barely escaped death, he took a few deep breaths, before he hurried to Shane, only to see Dalia forcing him to stay awake to gulp down multiple potions at once.
He was worried about Shane, but there was nothing for him to do, as he asked Dalia if he could help in any way.
Meanwhile, Dalia already stopped crying and only sobbed lightly after she injected her mana into him in addition to her healing ability, as she noticed that he would survive this.
"You bastard!!" She shouted at Shane with a weak voice, who could only smile faintly, as Dalia averted her gaze to Jason.
"Please call over Till and ask him if he can help me transport Shane to our hideout...While I use my healing ability, I can\'t do anything else.:."
Saying so, Jason rushed to Till, who took care of Seron and Max because they looked as if they would die any moment when he turned around.
Looking into Jason\'s eyes, Till was shocked
\'How can he be fine after witnessing such a shocking fight? It was incomparable to the warzones on the main continents, but still….Freak!\'
Running towards Till, Jason explained everything as he nodded his head, with his wings manifesting on his back.
Carefully picking up Shane, the three vanished, leaving the three youths and Old Drake alone.
Old Drake coughed out blood, but other than that he seemed to be fine, which Jason couldn\'t really understand because his mana core was on the brink of breaking.
\'Is his physique the cause?\' He wondered, but even if that was the case, he wouldn\'t lament, because it was a good sign that Old Drake was fine.
Looking at his friend Seron and Max, who had problems breathing and taking care of their emotions, he felt weird.
\'Why am I so calm? Shouldn\'t I be the most shocked among all?\' He wondered as he saw Old Drake approaching the two dead foreign race envoys.
Ignoring his peers\' problems, Jason followed Old Drake, only to hear him mumbling.
"Do we have to clear after the Shadow walker? Their master will probably send someone over….huh?"
Noticing Jason next to him, Old Drake was confused, because he thought the three youths would take some time to gather themselves, which was obviously not the case.
Jason\'s eyes gleamed brightly and Old Drake wondered, who exactly this youth was to act so nonchalantly only a few minutes after the whole city was on the brink of destruction.
Looking around, he could only sight, thinking about the costs to repair everything, as he hoped that the citizens in the underground shelter were fine.
Hearing what Old Drake said, Jason asked.
"Do we have to face another attack from the Ganasia and Deepsea scion race, when they send someone over?"
Right now, instead of bothering about something he could think about later, Jason wanted to know the more important facts first.
Pondering for a moment, Old Drake shook his head, before he exclaimed calmly.
"That probably won\'t happen. They\'ll most likely only take their envoys\' corpses and order someone to answer what exactly happened. However, they should already be aware about that.
It wouldn\'t be beneficial for them to attack us, because it would only hinder their plans to nurture more high potential superhumans, or whatever they want to do with us."
Sighing he silently added
"It might be disgusting, but there is nothing we can change about our current position."
Nodding his head, Jason was still unable to get the hang of humanity\'s current position, when he remembered the foreign races talking about their new Toys and lower world.
\'If we are the foreign races\' toys and this is a lower world, are we considered their livestock or something similar like that?....about the lower world part….is the blue planet I saw a higher world or what?... Why is everything so annoying right now?\'
Jason fumed in anger because he was the only one who understood the foreign races and in the end, nobody could help him answering any question, except other races.
However, where the hell could he find other races that would answer him willfully, without trying to do anything to him?
From the Shadow walker\'s words, Jason comprehended that something about him should be special because he called him Celestia halfling while pronouncing halfling as if it was extremely unique.
If he heard correctly, the Shadow walker also said something about a secret to the other two dead envoys, and thinking that it might be about him, Jason was frustrated because he wanted to know what secret the secret was that they figured out, or if it had something to do with him being labeled a halflling.
Trying to recall all kinds of memories in his brain, he had to give up, because he couldn\'t remember a race called Celestia and even less something about halflings.
