God´s Eyes

As such, two stages above him meant that he would have to defeat low-awakened beasts as his assignment which made him somewhat happy.     

It was not because Jason was confident in defeating them in a head-on fight, or even would have no trouble assassinating them.     

Rather it was because low-awakened beasts were scattered all over the two-star zones around Cyro-city and there was almost no end to their sheer number.     

Two hours later, a drone arrived in front of the school gates with a parcel and Jason accepted it with his signature.     

Afterward, he called a shuttle, and only 90 minutes later, Jason stood in front of the dome's border, wearing his grade-2 garment. He was armed to the teeth with the mechanical knife holder on the back, his bow in one hand, the quiver around him, and a belt with three yellow-green reagents strapped to it.     

The parcel, he had ordered previously, consisted of two different kinds of items that had used up most of his remaining savings.      

The items consisted of a dozen arrows with a small hole in the arrowhead and small capsules, fitting inside perfectly.      

These capsules could be sealed with mana for a certain period of time before the seal would be released.      

The price for these arrows with the specially manufactured capsules was already expensive with a whopping 150,000 Credits because the capsules were made out of a rare kind of soluble material that would dissolve when injected with mana.      

However, the most expensive purchases were the three reagents hanging on his belt.      

The three reagents were priced at around 120,000 Credits each.     

Each of these reagents was laced with some kind of enhanced and extracted venom from various types of plants and beasts.     

It could almost instantly kill all kinds of wild-ranked beasts and would only need around 20 seconds to traverse through the body of an awakened beast.     

Even late-awakened beasts would be easily killed and it was believed that this kind of reagent could also slowly kill evolved ranked beasts, as long as it entered their blood circulation.     

But the forte of this reagent was its paralyzing effect rather than its lethal venom.      

Every beast at and below the low-unblemished rank would lose control of its body, not feeling anything at all.     

All the five senses would be disrupted and there was not a single thing a beast could do, once paralyzed.     

This numbness would stay for five minutes for low-evolved ranked beasts and would kill all the beasts below this rank easily. However, mid-evolved beasts had a small chance to survive the paralyzation with their high life force only to die from the lethal poison.     

Right now, Jason was calmly filling the dissolving capsules with the reagents.     

After having filled 12 of them, all of his reagents were used up as 360,000 credits vanished into thin air.     

Sealing them with his mana would use up some of his stored mana but it was fine, as he placed the sealed capsules inside the arrowheads.     

After the capsules were safely packed into the arrowheads, Jason stored them inside his quiver with a mana stone at the bottom of the quiver in order to supply the capsules with mana to prevent any kinds of accidents.      

With 12 arrows, Jason knew that he was only allowed to miss two shots, which was somewhat thrilling.     

However, during the last two weeks, his archery skills had improved quite a lot, even on moving targets owing to his arduous training and effort.     

His Aunty had given him a membership card to a nearby archery hall and there were many kinds of unmoving and moving targets with certain missions to solve giving him a wide variety to practice.     

It was like a game and the first level was easy with a single target that he had to hit within a range of 30 meters.     

While Jason continued playing the 'game', the missions were getting more difficult with each level.     

It was only when he failed to hit the fast-moving targets, that Jason had to stop to read the foundational archery guide with a host of information written inside.     

Furthermore, due to the membership card, Jason could also ask the instructors working there for tips. Their suggestions helped him fix his flaws as they could pinpoint the smallest errors and even show him the correct way.     

This caused Jason´s archery to reach a better mastery and somehow, he had already reached the Advanced-Adept levels with illusional beast targets whose speed was almost comparable to evolved ranked beasts.     

In the end, it was only because of his exceptional eyesight, which made everything possible.      

The strength of his bow was way too weak to shoot an arrow that would efficiently kill or even penetrate the hide of evolved ranked beasts. Jason was aware that he wouldn't be able to pull stronger bows with his strength for now.     

This meant he was stuck at the Advanced-Adept level for good without being able to advance further.     

Hitting awakened ranked beasts with his archery skill wasn't a problem and Jason was confident in receiving a premium reward.     

Now was the time to put that skill to test. Thus, after Jason was done with his preparations, he walked confidently through the dome, where he was instantly invaded by an overwhelming amount of mana.     

Jason knew this would happen because it was always like that when he left the dome, but the sheer amount of mana almost forced him down to his knees.     

He had clearly underestimated the density and quality of mana that invaded him.     

It was extremely uncomfortable for him to be enveloped by the vigorous mana, as he forced himself to walk further away from the dome.     

Right now, Jason felt that the density of mana was even thicker compared to the stone arch with the magical plants around, which shocked him.     

If Jason would have had such vast mana around him all the time, he would probably be at the Adept rank already.     

This caused him to feel a distinct desire to sit down and absorb the mana around him.     

However, Jason reminded himself that it was way too dangerous to do something like that within a two-star wild zone.     

One would only do something like that with comrades or guards around who would rescue the focused cultivator in order to prevent any surprise attacks.     

Jason saw many youths absorbing mana outside the dome, but almost all of them were protected by an expert or master-ranked bodyguards.     

If he had enough credits, he would probably do the same, as the amount of mana was extremely thick, and hiring a bodyguard to protect him might even be cheaper than high-graded mana stones.     

Thinking about this possibility, Jason smiled weirdly, as he continued to walk towards the two-star zone.     

Holding the bow in one hand with an arrow already nocked, Jason immediately disregarded his thought and began to focus on his mission.     

The arrow had already received a steady supply of Jason´s mana and he looked around keenly.
