It was already astonishing for Jason to notice that Lux and the three other humans emerged out of the four-star rift without fainting, which was something he couldn't do.
However, the erupting mana from far away and the three-meter-tall darkness enveloped being with ruby-colored eyes, were even more shocking to Jason, who subconsciously took a step back.
He was not alone, because Max and Seron's eyes also widened as they shivered and retreated in fear.
'Each of them is stronger than Shane..' Jason thought, with cold sweat pouring down his back.
Shane paled when he sensed the erupting mana and decided to change to plan B.
If there was only one race that would take away Lux and the others, Shane would show himself, while demonstrating his combat prowess in order to show that he could fight the Shadow walker if something were to happen, but their whole plan was immediately shattered.
Not only were there three different races in total, but Shane was weaker than each of them, solely from the mana fluctuations they perceived.
As such, all of them decided to hide, hoping for the best outcome.
Shane would only come out if the worst-case scenario wasn't something they could prevent anymore, but it was questionable if that was even helpful...
Jason's mana eyes flickered, and he began to seize the humans up that left the four-star rift.
The four humans in front of him had a mana core at the Master rank, but their mana cores' size was extremely enlarged.
All of them radiated a dense fighting spirit, and it seemed as if they fought each other, which was a good sign in Jason's opinion.
While Lux released his death aura, the man next to him was enveloped in a dense water membrane, in order to prevent being burned from the bulky, tall man next to him, who was enveloped in a thick fire film.
Jason noticed that the flames were not only on his skin but also within the young man, which was shocking because he knew how difficult it was to not burn with flames within the body.
But more shocking was the woman on the right, who had the fewest injuries, while she released a pink hue, while darkness enveloped her partially.
After emerging out of the rift, it began to shock slightly and slowly dissipated which was faster than estimated, and once the four-meter tall darkness door manifested, both humans with water and affinity stepped back in fear, while Lux and the sole women stepped forward.
Kneeling down, the two of them greeted the Shadow walker, that stepped out of the door, only to look disgustingly at the two lowly humans.
Upon scanning his mana core, Jason paled, 'He has multiple solidified prismarine-crystals?'
"Aestiar lowria mulka!!" a hoarse voice could be heard and suddenly Jason's eyes trembled violently, as he felt something within trembling in rage.
'Huh? What is going on?' He wondered as the two intertwining mana sources smashed next to the Shadow walker into the ground, creating a several dozen meter deep crater.
"The Ganasia and Deepsea scion race?" Dalia mumbled, with Shane nodding his head faintly "Maybe we are fortunate?"
Jason and the two other youths were confused and began to shiver, when the shockwave caused by the two beings crashing into the ground, creating a ten-meter deep crater.
'These two also have multiple solidified prismarine crystals?' He thought, biting his lips nervously.
'That's bad!'
Jason and the others who were as far as possible from the rift's location, without leaving it out of their eyes seized up the newly arrived foreign races.
Seeing the two races, the two young men rushed towards them, before kneeling down.
Similar to the Shadow walker, they seemed disgusted at the sight of the humans, but they still had to follow their masters' orders.
Seizing the two beings, Jason noticed that the presumed Deepsea scion was the two-meter tall bipedal fish-like race, with its pointy face, extremely long limbs, dark-blue scales all over its body, and white fins protruding out of the back.
However, the main feature of the Deepsea scion seemed to be its extremely dense and distinct affinity, which astonished Jason, causing him to gulp involuntarily, as he averted his gaze to the five-meter tall bipedal being, he presumed to be the Ganasia race
The presumed Ganasia was enveloped with fire, like the human kneeling in front of him, while its hair was replaced by flames.
Its bulky physique underlined its size and Jason thought it looked like a blazing giant.
It had a single long horn protruding out of the center of its forehead, and the Ganasia's facial features were extremely crude, but the most similar to humans, among the three races, Jason saw, while a long tail with a razor-sharp blade as its tip, could be seen.
Right now, the main task was to figure out how the relationship between the three races was but apparently, this was less of a problem because the Ganasia and Deepsea scion stared daggers at each other, with killing intent leaking from them, as the Shadow walker ordered something in an overbearing manner.
However, Jason and the others couldn't understand it because the Shadow walker spoke in an unknown language.
"Liura mijud ouirar!!".
Suddenly, when he heard these words, Jason's eyes, or rather his entire being began to shake violently, as his body groaned, while his eyes shone even brighter, gathering an astronomical amount of mana, without Jason being able to do anything against it.
"Jason, stop it! How can you absorb mana now?!" Dalia said slightly desperate, but seeing Jason's pained expression, she immediately knew that something was wrong.
"Oiula aidur chidarau!" the five-meter-tall Ganasia answered to the Shadow walker, causing the pain within Jason to increase further.
"Yreal wiasu shilar kilara yletaou meliar?"(Yreal, why are you here in this lower-world?) the Deepsea scion said to the shadow walker, causing Jason's eyes to widen, while blood dark red blood oozed out of them.
With him absorbing an astronomical amount of mana, the other thought that their position might be discovered, but everything seemed fine, because the races began to start a debate amongst each other, as Jason groaned in pain, lying on the ground, gritting his teeth in order to not shout out.
Holding his head, not only his eyes seemed to burn, but his mind was suddenly flooded with letters and words, he never heard before.
Lying on the ground, Jason could still hear the three races talking to each other quite calmly with loud voices
"I'm just taking care of my new toys" the shadow walker, Yreal answered, and without Jason knowing why, he could roughly understand him, as the Ganasia sneered
"Aren't you the younger generation's prodigy? How do you have time for toys?"
Before Yreal could even answer, Jason almost cried out in pain, as more and more knowledge was forcefully imprinted through his eyes into his mind.
Without knowing what happened, he only perceived something deep within him shaking violently, which transmitted to him what he had to know.
It took Jason quite a while before he regained control over his body, with the pain easing up when he noticed that the conversation between the three races turned louder and more aggressive.
Suddenly, the Deepsea scion enveloped the young man next to him, before he pushed himself from the ground, only to appear hundreds of meters away.
The Ganasia swiftly picked up the bulky human, before he enlarged his body, with dense flickering on his body, as he pushed himself from the ground to appear in the opposite direction of the deepsea scion, a few hundred meters away, leaving a large crater behind.
"You two are quite lucky huh? But you guys should know that we are now in war with each other, right? And all of us at that? That's quite a coincidence...Unfortunately, I was told to eradicate all potential threats and if you want to nurture both of them, I can't let any of you go, sorry....well I'm not really sorry about that, to be honest!"
The Shadow walker said, smiling ecstasy and Jason clearly understood him, without any pain tormenting him, which shocked him greatly, as he subconsciously retreated several steps.
Standing up from the ground, his head was completely read, while dried blood was splattered on it, when he looked at the three races
'What the hell happened to me? The others can't understand the three races, right?'
