Jason and the others after resting proceeded to continue their crystals collection process. After filtering all energies Jason found a bunch of crystals energy filed together.
" Seems like someone dropped their crystals, what a lucky day" Jason said to Greg.
" Then let's go get it" Greg said grinning.
Appearing at the spot where the crystals energy was located, Greg and Jason saw a battlefield where two teams were fighting.
" Now I understand why the crystals were all stocked together" Jason said looking at the two teams fighting.
" Looks like, one of them is after the others crystals, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Greg asked.
" Yes I am" Jason said confirming Greg's idea.
Jason looked closer, and noticed the presence of people who fought him along with Anthon in the academy cafeteria.
" Anthon is with them" Jason thought. " It's time" Jason said to Greg seeing the last man fall.
Swift as ninjas, Greg and Jason arrived where the crystals were dropped. There were four crystals in number, two were blue, and the remaining two white in colour. Although they weren't much of what Greg and Jason were looking for, they were still crystals and could be collected.
" Who the hell are you...." Nathan asked before he stopped abruptly. He noticed that the person standing behind the one picking the crystals was Jason the one that thrashed him in the cafeteria.
" We meet again" Jason said walking up to Nathan and his crew. " Where is Anthon?" he asked noticing that Anthon wasn't behind them.
" I'll advise you to leave now" Nathan said giving up the crystals.
" Wow" Greg exclaimed. " You guys are really giving up free, bad thing we don't like things free, isn't that so" Greg continued turning to Jason.
Jason just nodded his head to Greg before saying " We actually need more crystals".
" If you are planning on taking ours, you'll have to fight us first" Nathan said reactivating his ability.
" Yes" Jason replied. Without waiting to know the others abilities, he held tightly to the hilt of his blade strapped at his back. Drawing out the dual blade, he entered quick deep mediation going into the aura world.
Unleashing the power of the sword, Jason many feet away from Nathan and his crew crossed his sword horizontally as if cutting someone.
" Argh" Matty shouted holding on to his chest before falling down on the floor. Following this, Ethan also fell down holding his chest in pains.
Still in the posture he used to strike, Jason looked so iconic as he began to speak " I left you upstanding for a reason" referring to Nathan.
The attack he just did was the aura strike. Depending on how good your mastery of energy flow was determined how effective the strike would be. The aura strike involved fighting in the aura world. There were so many worlds even as people were living, but only few could tap into these worlds. By inflicting damage be it severe or minimal on the person's aura being, it greatly affected the physical body paralysing the person for two hours.
" Fight me" Jason said, " and hold nothing back, or I'll really teach you a lesson later" he added. He pulled his outer coat and handed it over to Greg. On his body now was a new shiny armour Heron gave to him. The chest piece was made of pure gold while the rest were bronze.
" As you wish" Nathan said drawing out his fire spear. He made his way to Jason and unleashed a barrage of fire blasts from his spear.
Jason on one hand held the dual blade and on the other held his own sword. He began to dodge the fire balls also advancing towards Nathan. Pushing his sword forward, Jason made his way to stab Nathan, but his sword was parried by Nathan's spear.
Taking a step backwards, Jason threw a kick on to Nathan. Although parried,the momentum enabled Jason to get behind Nathan before executing a round house kick on Nathan's head sending him to the ground. Just before Nathan could regain himself, Jason used the hilt of his sword to jab Nathan right in the abdomen.
Holding Nathan's head, Jason did a somersault bringing Nathan's head to his knees forcefully as he landed.
Nathan although in pains enveloped his body in more fire to stop Jason from coming closer. This notwithstanding did nothing to hinder Jason because each time his body got burnt, it was quickly healed although he felt pains.
Nathan quickly stabilising himself threw forward fire swipes at Jason's direction restricting his movement before lighting the forest up in fire. With this he was more powerful than before.
Like a game player, Nathan controlled the direction of the flames targeting Jason. No matter how good Jason was, he couldn't possibly stand in the middle of flames. He began to run trying to avoid the flames, not realizing he was heading straight for Nathan's trap.
Nathan on sighting Jason was happy knowing that Jason was running blindly. As soon as Jason got close enough, be was suddenly closed about by a fire cage.
" Damn" Jason cursed. Looking up, Jason saw a fire blast shaped like a lions mouth. But this wasn't a blast, but a weapon. The fire mouth instead of trying to burn him tried to eat him. Jason upon realizing this stretched forth his hands and held the Jaws of the fire lion.
" Argh" Jason groaned in pain as his hands were already peeling off as a result of the flames the fire lion came with. This was also due to the fact that he was locked in a cage.
" Ahhhhhh........" Jason shouted as he tire the fire mouth slowly and painfully. Tearing the mouth of the fire lion resulted in a massive explosion throwing him backwards with a lot of burns on his body.
In front of Jason in the floor was Nathan with his fire spear.
" You said I should go all out right" Nathan said. Pulling the spear up, a hole big enough for a human head appeared at the tip of the spear, and out of it came out a heavy fire spray.
" Argh" Jason shouted as the fire kissed his body burning him. Greg suddenly appeared from behind Nathan and grabbed the spear breaking it into two.
Throwing a kick towards Nathan, Greg broke Nathan's jaw leaving him to groan in pains. Greg then walked up to him and his hand metamorphed into a blade. The blade was suddenly stopped from cutting through Nathan as Jason held it.
" You didn't really need to do that, this is my fight, that fire wouldn't have killed me" Jason said.
On the other hand, Matty and Ethan walked up to Nathan raising him up from the floor.
" This team is really strong, they are already awake under twenty minutes instead of two hours" Jason thought.
" We fight you together" Ethan said holding Nathan.
" No you won't" a voice resounded. Immediately a black wall suddenly appeared separating the two teams.
