Chapter 772 - Blessed Energy
Trying to increase the distance between himself and the Vultures that were confused about the sudden wall that had emerged out of nowhere as well as the fact that the Sacred beast had suddenly been grasped by another being, they were enraged and wanted to pursue Jason.
However, that was easier said than done because the Sacred beast\'s blessings didn\'t permeate the air anymore, while Jason didn\'t seem to have a scent.
In the end, Jason\'s scent was masked by the Arctic aura he released while being fused with Artemis, which was a great effect he didn\'t know beforehand.
Instead of his smell, or the radiations of the blessings that allowed the Vultures to track him, the devastated surrounding was what they were able to smell.
Just at that moment, they spotted Jason, whose Arctic aura was, in fact, enveloping the Sacred beast, concealing the radiation of its blessings efficiently.
This only fueled their anger, but at the same time, the three-headed Vulture noticed that its own mana fluctuations were thinner than Jason\'s.
This was something that shouldn\'t be the case, but considering that Artemis had already solidified her second large rotating crystal, their fused state was now much more powerful than before.
Because of that, the vultures that had yet to reach the peak of the Prismar stage retreated a little, knowing that they would die needlessly, without gaining any benefits.
To them, it looked like the Sacred beast had already been devoured by Jason.
As such, they let out their anger by releasing their affinities in order to attack Jason by bombarding all three affinities before flying away from him unwillingly.
Their minds were tormented by the great opportunity they had missed out on but for now, they had to save their skin.
When Jason realized that the Vultures left after throwing a fit, he looked at the Sacred beast in his hand.
Taking a proper glance he realized that it looked like a frightened squirrel that was squirming a lot.
Its fur was white in color, but there was a silver emblem on the top of its head that had outlines of thin golden fur. It looked extremely exquisite and resembled an artificially made crown.
Jason didn\'t believe that a beast could be born with such an emblem that was glowing faintly.
From the looks of it, the Squirrel hadn\'t been born too long ago, and oddly enough, Jason couldn\'t detect what kind of energy it was cultivating with.
This astonished him greatly, but, in fact, he was not the most shocked of the two.
In the end, it was the squirrel that was shocked about its sudden abduction and thought that Jason wanted to eat it alive.
Fortunately, it took the intelligent beast only a short moment to realize that Jason did not intend to harm let alone eat it.
In fact, Jason had been evading the Vultures\' onslaught of wind blades, bolts of thunder that almost hit them, ravaging their immediate surroundings, as well as the fireballs that started a massive forest fire.
Thus, the Sacred Squirrel calmed down relatively quickly, which was a good sign.
It stopped moving around restlessly and made no attempts to run away from Jason, feeling the warmth in Jason\'s hands.
Halting in his tracks, Jason took a look around in order to see if there were any beasts that might be attracted to the Sacred beast\'s blessings.
Fortunately, that was not the case and Jason could retract the Arctic aura that had enveloped the Sacred Squirrel.
Only when he released it could the natural radiation of the Squirrel\'s blessings permeate the air once again.
This was pretty annoying, considering that Jason wanted to take it with him and show it in the next tribe chief gathering that would be attended by all tribe chiefs in addition to their villagers.
He would be attacked several times if the blessings\' natural radiation would continue to radiate freely.
Hence, Jason decided that he would envelop it with his aura once beasts were to come too close.
With that in mind, he dissolved the fusion with Artemis, who left his mana core in order to return to the soul world once again.
Through this, Jason\'s appearance and demeanor reverted to his usual self.
His Celestia aura was now freed of the forced transmutation Artemis had caused as well, and the kind and gentle aura surrounded the Sacred Squirrel that stared at Jason in doubt and with worried eyes.
The Celestia aura was something that attracted the Squirrel, and feeling as if it was at its rightful place, it snuggled into his hand before falling asleep.
Jason was confused, but he didn\'t mind the little Squirrel\'s behavior.
However, it was just a second later as he was about to turn around in order to approach the first village, that he stopped in his tracks again.
He wanted to meet up with Brell and the former tribe chief but he sensed something weird.
Staring at the Sacred Squirrel in doubt, he mumbled.
"Little one...you are already absorbing three cultivation energies...why are you trying to do the same with my Celestia aura? Even if it looks delicious to you, I cannot let you devour my Celestia aura…"
Not only did the Sacred Squirrel follow a unique kind of cultivation path that was different to the three normal paths, it absorbed the three cultivation energies in order to create a type of energy that was similar yet different to the divine energy.
However, at the same time, it was stronger than holy energy, which was something that astonished him a little bit.
Using his Emperor Eyes in order to figure out more about the Sacred Squirrel, Jason didn\'t even notice that his mana core was already filled and several hours had passed.
There were several things he didn\'t understand, but from what he could comprehend, the Sacred Squirrel seemed to have undergone massive changes through a total of four blessings.
This was a lot, and probably also the cause for the Squirrel\'s unusual appearance, the fact that it could absorb all three paths in order to cultivate. Its rare ability made it beneficial for all kinds of beasts and thus it was widely hunted.
Yet, the interesting point was that the Sacred Squirrel cultivated its blessings instead of a vessel which seemed to be the reason for it to be so weak.
Probably, that was also the reason why the tribe chiefs had assumed that the Sacred beast was already dead, or had died once again.
The more he found out about the Sacred beast, the more interesting it became.
However, the most important factor was that it should be able to tell them more about the attack of the Oceanfolk, solving all of Jason\'s current problems.
These problems were mostly caused by oblivious and ignorant Mewi, but all of that was now a thing of the past.
Thus, he was quite happy and satisfied as he anticipated the next tribe chief gathering, in which he would dumbfound everyone.
