Chapter 741 - Kill
Jason had planned to postpone his meeting with them, and to research a little bit more about the surroundings in order to be fully prepared for all possible problems the mana wisps had and could sustain in the near future.
This was important, but his plan seemed to be forcefully altered, which caused him to sigh inwardly.
Nevertheless, he tried to maintain a warm smile on his face in an attempt to look friendly and approachable.
Yet, contrary to the norm, the mana wisps didn\'t answer his earlier question about who he should be talking to.
Even after waiting for a few minutes in awkward silence, he didn\'t receive an answer, and Jason couldn\'t help but ask again.
"I\'m sorry to ask this again, but with whom am I supposed to talk? I am not familiar with the customs or traditions of your race, so I apologise in advance if this is a mistake!"
Jason felt a little bit odd for not being able to speak straightforwardly, because he was never a fan of needless formalities, and would rather directly ask about the issues of their village.
Unfortunately, this could possibly bring forth more issues than it might solve.
Thus, Jason waited once again, as he could understand the reason for the quiet and awkward atmosphere.
\'They\'re communicating via telepathy?\' Earlier, he hadn\'t focused on their mana fluctuations, but in the last few minutes, everything began to make sense to him.
With that in mind, he stayed quiet, and patiently awaited their answer, without interrupting their discussion.
Instead, he adjusted his clothes after Byakur was sent back to the soul world.
Only Artemis remained inside his mana core ready to rush to his aid at a moment\'s notice for the small chance that something could go wrong.
The moment he noticed something odd he could manifest Artemis\' wings and distance himself from the wisps in the blink of an eye.
Now that he was unarmed, Jason showed that he had no ill intentions.
With this, the mana wisps were not sure what they should think of the beast in front of him.
It was weird for an adventurer to be amidst them, but they also noticed that Jason was extremely calm, telling them that he was not afraid of them, even if they were to attack him.
Thus, a few more minutes passed in which they spoke with each other through telepathy before one of the mana wisps, in the form of a well-built middle-aged man stepped forward.
"Greetings, adventurer Jason Stella. We are the Mewi, and we would like to invite you to our village! You may please follow us inside, or respectfully leave our territory so as to avoid creating more problems for us!"
Jason was not sure what the meaning of \'creating more problems\' was, because he was pretty sure that he had yet to start doing anything.
Yet, instead of an angry retort, Jason just nodded his head, slowly approaching them as the middle-aged man turned around.
Afterward, nobody seemed to be bothered about him anymore as all of them simply turned in the direction of the village before starting to walk.
This could be seen as a sign of trust, but Jason knew that their shape didn\'t indicate where their eyes were.
In fact, it didn\'t seem like the Mewi were seeing through their normal eyes. Rather, Jason believed that they visualised everything in their surroundings through the mana fluctuations they naturally radiated.
Jason found this interesting, but rather than being ignorant and asking them all of the questions he had in mind, he knew that they didn\'t trust him at all, while questions could further degrade their current opinion of him.
What the middle-aged Mewi had wanted from him might sound like a pleasant visit to their village, but that didn\'t seem to be the entire truth.
Rather, Jason felt that there was more behind this, and it was only with the use of his Emperor Eyes that he was able to perceive the Mewi\'s emotional hue that clearly indicated their fright.
This was something Jason didn\'t expect to perceive. Instead, he had expected cautiousness or a similar emotion that indicated their wariness of him.
The fright that his Emperor Eyes visualised in a hue was distinct, and because Jason hadn\'t tried to figure out their previous emotional hues, he only had the latest information about their state of mind.
Because of that, he was not sure if they had been frightened of him since the beginning or even before sighting him.
It was a little bit sad, but not further problematic.
Jason was not sure how long it took before they reached the village, but the moment he entered it, his train of thoughts was disrupted as he sensed more than a hundred pairs of eyes, or to be precise mana fluctuations. All of them were enveloped with the same hue as the other Mewis.
This caused him to become more vigilant about his surroundings, but at the same time, he didn\'t show anything on the outside and acted as if he didn\'t notice anything.
Smiling lightly, he continued to follow the middle-aged Mewis, who led him into a small hut.
"If it is not too much to ask for, can Sir please enter the hut for the time being? I\'ll have to make a report to the Village chief!"
Jason was not sure why the Mewi was speaking so formally with him because they had no connections, and his cultivation stage was lower too.
As such, the Mewi shouldn\'t feel the need to be formal, which was the case!
Nodding his head, Jason indicated that he had no problem staying inside the small hut.
Yet, instead of remaining idle, he did something he had never done before.
After two years, Spyro had finally formed a fortified soul conjunction with him.
As such, after letting the formless Spiral Spirit occupy his mana core, his brain functions increased drastically.
However, this was more than necessary because Jason was actively trying to split up Spyro into a main body and more than a dozen droplets of Spiral Spirit subsidiary bodies.
It was not that Spyro required this, but more like Jason wanted to eavesdrop on every single being in the village.
Because of that, Jason released the dozen droplets of Spiral Spirit subsidiary bodies as all of them spread on the ground with the intention to listen to what they were hearing.
Owing to their minimalistic size, they didn\'t release any Spirit force because every single trace of Spirit force had to be used to maintain the small droplets\' form.
After that, Jason entered the hut before sitting down and closing his eyes, to focus on controlling the droplets.
Combining their strength, Spyro and Jason were able to focus on all 12 droplets that were slowly rolling over the ground.
At the same time, they transmitted all sounds they could hear to each other, causing him a headache, only for him to adjust to the influx of voices after a few minutes as he filtered the important ones and discarded the rest.
In the end, Jason already knew that the Mewi were talking through telepathy, but if he hadn\'t perceived wrongly, this was an arduous task that consumed mana.
As such, considering that they were facing mana scarcity according to the amount of mana they had within them, Jason could tell that they wouldn\'t needlessly waste their mana.
It was exactly because of this thought that Jason was able to eavesdrop on the discussion of the middle-aged Mewi and the tribe chief.
Yet, what he heard made Jason frown almost immediately.
"We have to kill him!"
