Picking up the blood orb, which was a random name he had given to it, Jason stored it away.
He didn't know what exactly this orb was, or even its true name.
But, what Jason was sure about was one particular fact.
That was his desire to never encounter someone similar to Lux in his life again.
Jason had his fill of fighting someone who had fused with the blood orb and did not want a repeat incident.
The death energy the blood orb could release was dangerous, to put it simply,
Averting his gaze towards the unmoving corpse of Lux, Jason felt disgusted, but at the same time, he felt something weird. He also sensed sadness radiating from the corpse.
This caused him to look at it for a few more seconds before he used some of the mana his body had naturally replenished in order to burn Lux's corpse.
Afterward, he turned towards the Undead Skeletons that were now puppets without a master.
They were simply roaming around aimlessly not knowing what to do or what was going on.
Because the death energy had dispersed in all directions, Jason only used tiny flames to burn them.
In a way, he relieved them of the burden of being forced into continuing to live in a world they didn't belong to anymore.
This didn't take long because the Undeads were not resisting his attack.
Instead, they accepted Solaris' flames, taking it into their body as if it was a holy flame that would purge them from their sins, and the punishment of living while being dead.
Once he was done purging the Undeads, Jason allowed Solaris to return back to the soul world.
After this, his appearance reverted back to his usual self.
Once that was also done, Jason first noticed that the arena had gone eerily silent.
Only the faint rustling of leaves and the wind blowing at a distance were slowly reaching his ears which was weird.
Turning around, he quickly noticed that his entire body was drained of energy, causing him to stumble.
However, it was only a moment later that his exhaustion seemed to have dispelled as thousands of pairs of eyes were staring straight at him.
This made Jason uncomfortable, but fortunately enough, none of the gazes were filled with killing intent, the hue of anger, or something similar to that.
Because he was able to see this with his Emperor Eyes, and sense killing intent if it was directed at him, he was sure that nobody was going to surprise attack him.
With that in mind, the tensed muscles in his body slowly began to relax.
His eyes automatically searched for Jennifer, who was still staring at the ground absent-mindedly, thinking about her master.
Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but smile oddly.
Jennifer had witnessed enough of Jason's strength to know that nothing would happen to him.
Because of that, her mind had been occupied with thoughts of Luna, if the news was really about her, and what she was supposed to do.
Her mind was a tangled mess of thoughts, and she was unsure of what to do.
Luna had raised her, but given the fact that she had abandoned her at the worst possible time,, she was not sure if Luna had just raised her because she owed her parents a favor.
She had left Jennifer on her own, who had been on the run for months, hiding from the three races that wanted her dead.
Before Jason's arrival, Jennifer was fighting for her life all alone against those who were now reigning the Julandra region
The fact that Luna might have never loved her made her feel like somebody had punched her in the gut.
If that were to be true, her entire childhood into a lie. But the more she thought about it, the less likely was it for Luna to abandon her after killing dozens of nobles in a terror act.
Unable to understand anything, Jennifer only noticed that the fight was over when Jason emerged in front of her.
His clothes were mostly charred, and only his leather armor was fine, while exhaustion could be seen deep in his eyes.
She was questioning the purpose of her entire life, and what she was supposed to do now.
As such, Jennifer could only shake her head.
Yet, when she looked into Jason's eyes, everything else seemed unimportant because she knew for sure that he wouldn't simply abandon her.
Even if he would, Jennifer knew that he would do this in order to protect her from something.
This was something she didn't think that Luna had been doing because the months, or even years before the assassination attempt, her master seemed to have changed a lot.
She had become more frantic and devoted to something she had been working on inside the small Auxiliary tower.
Thus, the more Jennifer thought about her master, the less she liked what she perceived.
It was almost as if her memories made everything worse which she had treasured in her heart.
After her parents had abandoned her, it was Luna who had taken her under her wing.
Those memories had been close to her heart and she didn't want to believe that Luna would do what her parents had done to her.
It was breaking her heart to think that.
Because of that, she grasped Jason's hand as she forced herself to smile a little.
"Are you done now? Shall…we go?"
With everyone's eyes being drawn towards the two of them, Jason thought that Linus and the others might want to prevent him from leaving.
However, it was just a moment later that the complete opposite occurred.
"Yeah, you two should leave as soon as possible, if possible right now!"
Linus said this after he had recovered from the shock of witnessing Lux's death, and many other people nodded their heads before adding all kinds of comments.
Most of these comments were praises about his strength, them thanking Jason for killing Lux, and that he should leave to prevent being killed by the Shadow walkers.
This astonished Jason slightly because he had not expected everyone to speak for him, let alone the fact that the Shadow walker's soul contract allowed them to 'help' him flee.
Yet, the biggest question was about where they should run to.
Staying would mean that the Shadow walkers would find him, and from the information he had procured, there were quite a few Specta stage powerhouses in the rows of the Shadow walkers.
This was quite uncommon for a Common race, and Jason presumed that they were either lacking a Heaven ranked technique, or the Shadow walkers were hiding the fact that they were, in fact, a higher race already.
However, in the end, this didn't matter because the most important thing was to find out where they should head to right now.
There were quite a few restrictions, including Jason's exhaustion, which meant that he could fly fast enough.
Thus, he looked at the direction of the portal that would take them to the Ninad realm.
Jennifer noticed the direction he was looking to, and without a second thought about staying on Manyr, she nodded her head.
"Let's go to the Ninad realm!" Jason had thought about Jennifer's situation.
This was why he had been reluctant to propose using the portal to flee in order to prevent the Shadow walkers from pursuing them.
In the end, only the humans from Argos would be able to follow them, and until that happened, the Shadow walkers would have to give them the necessary commands.
This would buy them lots of time.
As such, it was not difficult to decide whether he wanted to face humans from Argos that were at the Mid Ascendion stage, at the strongest, or possibly Specta stage powerhouses.
Seeing that Jennifer seemed to be fine with leaving Manyr, Jason was not sure if she was faking it in order to help him, or if she was truly fine.
Thus, he could only look at her with concern, unsure of what they should do.
The Shadow walkers that had been informed about the death of their people three days ago, should reach the camp any minute!
Yet, when he heard Jennifer's answer, while she stared deep into his eyes, Jason's doubts melted away.
Holding his hand tightly she gave him a radiant smile and said in an earnest voice.
"I'm fine…I really am, as long as I have you by my side!"
