BXBX NOVEL Chapter 746 - Set In Stone
First of all, the Mewi were incapable of fighting properly without the use of mana because it was their means to live!
Unfortunately, the mana scarcity was now not only an issue that would slowly wear them out, but it became a short-term issue because it made the Mewi unable to use the mana they had to fight, or they would endanger their life.
In the end, the oceanfolk were not exactly powerful, or at least, the waves of beings that attacked them was something the Mewi could defeat until now.
And that was possible even after the surrounding mana had become scarcer, deteriorating the Mewi\'s combat prowess.
With that in mind, Jason could clearly tell that the momentary shortage of mana had to do with the oceanfolk.
Otherwise, it wouldn\'t make any sense that a mana vein was suddenly either damaged, blocked, or completely destroyed.
Thus, Jason thought of taking a closer look at the mana vein in order to see if it could be fixed, or if there was a way to increase the surrounding mana, at least, to a small margin.
Jason had even thought about releasing some of the excessive mana from the inside of his soul world.
However, if he were to start doing this, not only would Artemis and Solaris be forced to slow down their cultivation progress, but the Mewi would become dependent on him.
At the same time, distinct greed would overwhelm them only to become more intense, and Jason could already visualise them preventing him from attempting to leave the village ever again.
Even the faintest possibility of this was already frustrating enough.
As such, Jason didn\'t even think of releasing some of the mana from his soul world.
There had to be a different way to help, and he would figure it out.
Unfortunately, it was not possible for him to leave the village to fend for its own just after he had boosted their morale and shown them a ray of hope.
If he were to do that, it would simply crumble their newfound confidence.
He was responsible for his actions, and he wasn\'t supposed to run away from them.
Furthermore, there was the important factor about the completion rate of the dungeon\'s second trial.
Now that he knew that he had to protect all villages, Jason knew that it was not exactly possible to be around to protect all the villages simultaneously.
This was simply impossible for him as a single individual.
As such, he had to help them to be prepared for the worst attack waves of the oceanfolk, so that they would be strong enough to defend themselves without his support or guidance.
If that was not something he could accomplish, he might as well just give up on completing the entire trial.
But that was not something Jason would ever do, even less so because he had already spent two years of his precious time inside the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant.
Even if it were only for this, he wanted to be properly rewarded.
However, in the end, it was his own greed for becoming much stronger than he currently was that made him want to give his best in all trials.
He knew that he had to become much stronger, just to start searching for his grandparents, let alone his father.
There was the possibility that his father would simply accept him even without becoming stronger, but would the others of the Celestia race truly accept him?
Jason doubted this, though it was not like he wanted their approval, to begin with.
In the end, being able to survive and live his life on his own terms without anybody\'s interference was already more than enough for Jason.
Unfortunately, he would never be able to be at peace without taking revenge on those who were the cause of the death of his loved ones.
Thus, he had another reason to become strong, much stronger, the quicker the better!
Nevertheless, he couldn\'t neglect his foundation, and that was exactly why Jason was looking for the best cultivation techniques as well as a proper body refinement technique. He needed one that could refine his physique that was already enhanced by the bloodline of the Celestia race as well as their divine energy.
Given all the reasons to pass the trials, there was only the added factor that Jason didn\'t want to abandon the Mewi race either.
They may not be truly alive because the dungeon was probably safekeeping them somehow so that they could be employed by the dungeon for other participants.
Despite that, Jason wanted to help, even if it wouldn\'t have been for the mission.
With that in mind, he put together a plan with which they could protect the village from the next attack wave that would happen in the following days.
Afterward, Jason decided to leave in order to take a look at the mana vein because he had to figure out the issue it was facing.
Without enough mana, the Mewi were unable to protect their village properly.
While looking for the mana vein\'s issue, Jason could also start looking out for the other villages, and see how they were faring with the oceanfolk\'s attack waves.
This would help him a lot and save some time to figure out if all villages were inhabited by Mewi, or if there were specific beings just like them with the sole difference of their cultivation energy.
It was not unlikely, but the Mewi said that they had never encountered other beings.
But that was not important because many things could have changed in the duration of a century in which the mana vein seemed to have been damaged according to the slowly deteriorating mana which he subtly noticed and analyzed, gauging the rough number of years in which the mana vein had been damaged.
Jason was not sure why nobody had tried to fix the mana vein by themselves, but apparently, there was no way of reaching the mana vein, and the majority of Mewi inside the small village didn\'t even know what a mana vein was.
This was rather a disadvantage, but their lack of knowledge didn\'t really matter.
Instead, Jason wanted to focus on building up defensive measures that would prevent the oceanfolk from doing anything to the villagers.
It was next to impossible to prevent a few casualties but Jason was eager to give his best.
As such, he didn\'t even bother to conceal his soulbonds as Petri and Artemis manifested next to him, the moment they had finalised their plan.
Their emergence shocked the Mewi because Artemis was using her largest possible form, while Petri had grown to a serpent with a length of more than 150 meters!
That was even shocking for Jason because Petri was always using his small form to coil himself around Jason\'s body.
Because of that, it had been a long time since Jason had seen the Cursed Basilisk in his true glory wherein he had almost doubled in length and width.
However, this was perfect for the task he wanted to assign to him and Artemis, whose size was also relatively large.
Yet, just as he was telling his soulbonds what tasks they had to accomplish, Solaris appeared out of his soul world, taking on the shape of the golden-eyed black dragon it was fond of.
Flying around in the shape of a miniature dragon, Solaris seemed happy while a gigantic serpent and majestic looking owl were next to them, looking happy as well, despite the tasks they had been given.
Seeing his soulbonds, Jason couldn\'t help but be delighted as the formless Spyro manifested in his hand, unsure of what it was supposed to do.
However, rather than giving all his soulbonds the same type of task, Jason wanted Spyro to do something extremely important!
