Chapter 857: Alive And Dead

"Who the hell dared barge into my home?!" 

Roaring out in anger, Lux shifted in his seat while his eyes were still closed. 

His mind was occupied with something else other than the two infiltrators.

At this moment he straightened his back, as his bones creaked while death energy kept leaking from his body.

The bottom portion of the room turned pitch-black and it was only a fraction of a second later that dozens of Undeads emerged from the darkness. 

Within moments they surrounded Jason and Jennifer, even before Lux took a single glance at them.

Opening his eyes, he looked at Jason and Jennifer with an unruffled expression. 

While his expression was unbothered, his eyes that were pitch-black just like the lower portion of the room, scanned both of them. 

After scanning their mana fluctuations, Lux calmed as his lower lip curled upwards.

"It looks like I have two esteemed guests…and you two are very powerful at that…how about you two become my soulbonds?...But for that, you'll have to DIEE!" 

From the looks of it, it was impossible to speak with Lux because he summoned his remaining soulbonds. 

They were large in number and easily filled the entire room with more than a dozen Undeads at the Peak Prismar and Initial phase of the Ascendion stage.

Other than that, there were also many Undeads that had a lower cultivation base. 

But none of that mattered to Jason because he couldn't help but smile dryly as he was attacked by Lux.

Not only did Lux not remember him, but he was also more aggressive than it had been the case ten years ago.

This was something Jason presumed to be the case owing to his soulbonds' influence that was much stronger than he had assumed.

He knew that his soulbonds altered his personality to some extent, and their daily comments were not exactly helpful either.

But thinking that dozens of Undeads were ravaging in Lux's mind made Jason flinch.

However, instead of wasting his time and not retaliating against the attacks, he decided to act quickly.

Yet, before anything else, he grasped Jennifer's hand before pulling her behind him, clearly showing that he wanted to fight Lux alone.

With Jennifer's light affinity, it wouldn't be much of a problem to overwhelm the opponents around them. Their strength was not exactly high, but at the same time, it was just a waste of time and energy.

As such, Jason allowed Solaris to enter his mana core for a moment but didn't even think about fusing with the black origin flame.

Instead, he made use of the increased mana consumption as he initiated his counterattack.

By releasing his Aura, and activating the Stigma, before intertwining the black flame affinity with the moonlight affinity, and divine energy, Jason was able to enhance Solaris' flames to the max. 

This spike was more than enough to burn even beings at the Low Ascendion stage if used properly.

Solaris' flames exploded all around him as he released them from his entire body except his back. The searing flames engulfed Lux and his soulbonds that were burned to ashes in an instant.

There were no painful screams, owing to the fact that the Undeads didn't feel any pain. 

So the only reaction they received was only Lux's growling that reverberated through the room before he quieted down too.

Without a second thought, Jason retracted the flames, storing them inside Solaris for later use.

It was impossible to convert the black flames back into mana and divine energy, but Jason had recently found a clever alternative of storing them inside Solaris. 

He was not sure if his soulbonds could do that before, but it didn't really matter because he could store up as many flames as he wanted, and release them without restraint.

This was interesting because it was possible to store flames for an entire month, or even several years, just to release everything at once.

Despite Jason's interest in this topic, his focus was on Lux, whose appearance had changed once again.

Several of his soulbonds at the lower ranks had already turned into cinder. 

Solaris' flames had severely damaged Lux's soul world core owing to the destroyed bond, but that was not something Jason was worried about.

Instead, he smiled at Lux, who had retracted the other Undeads inside the soul world, in order to save them from being turned into heaps of ash.

Having fused with one of his soulbonds, Lux's appearance changed from the skinny, almost lifeless-looking young man to a burly man. 

His skin had turned bluish, while his eyes were now naturally pitch-black.

There were also other changes that were happening, but they mostly affected the death energy all around them, followed by his strong presence, the inner structure of Lux's body, his mana veins, and even more so, his strength.

Considering that the strongest soulbond of Lux had been similar to a skeleton, Jason wondered if it had evolved. It should be possible for beings that could continue to grow…even if it was an Undead.

Despite having undergone a soul fusion, Lux's appearance was no different to an ordinary human being…a dead one, but that was not what mattered, either way.

Unable to suppress a subtle smile, Jason said something he had been wanting to say to some other humans on Argos, whom he would love to meet once again.

"Long time no see, you piece of shit!" 

The last part was something Jason added on a whim, but it suited the situation perfectly, and caused Lux to halt in his tracks.

Looking at Jason, he tilted his head, wondering what Jason might mean because he didn't remember him from anywhere.

This caused Jason's smile only to widen because he felt that it was not unlikely for someone, who had spent a decade cooped up in Shadow walker's den to remember anyone.

As such, Jason muttered while looking Lux in the eye.

"Argos, 10 years ago, in the four-star rift in Cyro City. You shot me, bastard!" 

He was not sure why, but Jason felt the urge to curse at Lux, and doing so was extremely pleasing.

Lux was still writhing in pain due to the destroyed soulbond connection owing to some of his soulbonds' death, so there was more than enough time for the two of them to speak.

Yet, instead of reacting to the insult, Lux just nodded his head before he mumbled,

"Ah, so it's you…I forgot you were alive."

Under normal circumstances, Lux's remark would have hurt his pride. 

But right now, as he stood staring at Lux, letting the realization of him being alive sink in, he merely shrugged his shoulders. 

More than being annoyed Jason felt like he should be laughing right now.

That was because he felt Lux's combat prowess that was close to ordinary beings at the Low Ascendion stage.

However, that was not what caused Jason to almost laugh out loud. 

Dozens of people at the weekly comparison event had tried to scare him about Lux's natural soul fusion for no reason apparently.

"I'm still alive, yes, but I don't think that's the case for you, is it?"

Jason just said the things that were on his mind. 

There was no reason for him to hold back either, fearing to be killed by Lux as it wouldn't happen, not now or ever.

He presumed that even Jennifer was strong enough to kill Lux, and he would be able to achieve the same, even without using the natural soul fusion.

Thus, Jason acted fearlessly as he pointed out that Lux was already dead, which one shouldn't be able to perceive under normal means. 

But, before he killed him, he wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. Thus, Jason taunted him further.

"Oh… not only are you dead, but you fused with the same blood orb from ten years ago. To think that the Shadow walkers allowed you to do that…impressive!"
