CH 10 PROGRESSION
[HOST HAS COMPLETED HIDDEN QUEST]
[CONTROL OVER ELEMENT INCREASED]
Jason stared blankly at the system window and then at the fireball in front of him before returning to the window with a dumbfounded look on his face.
[REWARD: EXP 1000]
[STAT POINTS 2+ IN ALL STATS]
[ASTRAL ABILITIES UPGRADE]
'So it is possible, But it is too hard to control' Jason complained with an exhausted face.
'I think this is sufficient'
As the fireball soared into the air, Jason fell to the ground exhausted. A smile appeared on his face, His experiment had succeeded.
Jason gulped a whole bottle of potion before going for 2nd attempt, This time it was easy he created a ball of water out of air. By applying the correct amount of power he can Increase the size of these balls, Jason aimed towards a tree and fired this Ball but it dissipated before hitting the tree, It took him multiple attempts to get his attack to hit the tree.
'yess, yess' Jason rejoiced to see his attack hit the tree, He sat down and opened the System window to check his stats.

'I am still too weak' Jason sighed.
After taking a rest, He started his journey towards the Temple again.
In the forest, Jason was running on branches jumping from one tree to another like he was teleporting on branches.
The area he was passing through was swampy and humid, making it difficult for him to walk on the ground. Right now he was wearing only pants he made using the leather of monsters.
Jason created a ball of water and made it fall on himself to cool him and started running again.
He could really feel the improvement in his body, seeing his own speed of progress he believes that he would reach A rank soon. His full speed is comparable to A rank hunter.
His excitement increases every time he thought about breaking into A rank.
"How much time has been passed," Jason thought.
Suddenly he Jumps upward and grabbed a branch while running, The place he was going to step started burning with acidic reaction.
' What was that?' Jason mumbled before jumping over to stand on the branch he was holding.
Jason looked around and fired a blade towards a branch.
kyaa...
thud...
A chameleon-like creature fell on the ground, He used Inspect on it and found its name was 'Blue-eyed chameleon', a C rank creature.
Rumbling around loudened and more emerged. Jason killed 3 more 'Blue-eyed chameleon', but He could sense more were approaching him.
grr... gr...
'It will take time, I had to kill them fast' murmured Jason before using an Astral burst to knock all the trees around him and give him space.
'let's try this'
' aaahhhhh..' Jason shouted as he covered his Hand with blue energy, giving a look of a predator's arm with sharp claws.
Jason swiped his hand in the air and 5 blades left his hand that severed the tongue of 'Blue-eyed chameleon'. A Blue-eyed chameleon licked his leg causing a burn.
'hyaa..., shi*'
Jason turned and killed that Blue-eyed chameleon with an Astral bullet.
'can you face this?' Jason challenged before jumping on the above branch and lifted his hand.
' Thousand blades' Jason shouted.
Hundreds of Blades formed above the trees out of nowhere and with a single sign poured down on the trees, they tore down each thing that came in their way, except Jason whom they didn't even touch.
ding.. ding...
Notification of kills keep popping up, Jason jumped on another branch and started running forward, trees kept breaking from the invisible force before Jason could even pass them, It looked like the forest was creating way on its own, and monsters that attacked him got shredded by his claws.
Standing in an open area Jason looked back in the direction he came and saw the mess he had created.
'I got overexcited, hehe' Jason giggled before taking a bite on cooked meat of chameleon.
munch... munch...
Jason lifted his Hand and focused.
soon a hue started swirling in front of him before taking a shape of a large sphere of a size slightly bigger than football.
More than hundreds of 'Blue-eyed chameleon' appeared from the forest.
squeeeee...
they screamed.
'I knew, they will come' Murmured Jason with a grin.
'Go buddy, show your move' Jason cleaned his bleeding nose.
This attack took a great load on Jason's body. He overexerted his power.
spitting a mouthful of blood, He sat on a log.
'You know guys you are my test subjects'
The color of the sphere changed and then flames covered the sphere.
foooshh...
boom...
Sphere burned the target in a second, Fire spread like a wave causing more destruction.
krrtr.. krtr...
'Beautiful' Jason murmured while looking at his test subject yelping and struggling while they were burning. Suddenly he lifted his hand and pointed his forefinger towards his left side.
thud.
a body fell on the ground, Jason used Inspect and found that it was a mutated B ranked 'blue-eyed chameleon' its feature was like a leopard but had scales that could change its color to make it nearly invisible but Jason sensed him.
'There are more' as Jason said that more emerged from his surrounding.
'grorrr..'
All leaped towards Jason at the same time. Jason jumped towards the Largest and grabbed his head digging his energy claws in its skull before kicking another mutated chameleon. On landing, he took out his spear and rotated a before slashing the head of 2 mutated chameleons and cutting 1 in half. all this happened in merely a second.
Hela absorbed the blood in no time.
[HELA' HUNGER IS INCREASING]
Before Jason can extract the cores Hela started vibrating with a loud
hmm..., hmmm..., hmm...
sound
'what's happening to her?' Jason asked the 'system'.
[HELA'S HUNGER IS GROWING, FEED HER UNLESS SHE WILL FEED ON YOUR LIFE ENERGY]
'What am I supposed to feed her, chameleon burgers?' Jason replied with a question.
[....]
'Eat what you wanna eat your highness' Jason said while blood on his claws evaporated and then claws disappeared.
hush.....
Hela floated up in the Air and radiated a dark red glowing hue.
Dead bodies started moving one by one and then streams of bloodshot towards Hela. A crystal embedded in Hela was absorbing these streams, When these streams stopped cores Brank shot up and Vanished in hue around Hela.
Jason was shocked at what he was seeing, He kept looking at this phenomenon until Hela fell to the ground.
'F***, What was that she ate core and blood?'
Jason approached a body and found it was completely dried up
[HELA'S ABILITY UNLOCKED]
[ORNAMENT MODE]
'At least, something good happened' Jason mumbled before lifting Hela.
He activated this new mode and suddenly Hela start moving like a snake and curled around his hand like a band having the shape snake biting its tail.
'Woah!'
Jason extracted the cores and absorbed all bodies before Entering the forest.
***************
bang.., bang..., bang...
slash.., slash..., slash...
Under the dark sky, flames of fire were dancing, and in the middle of burning trees and bodies was a figure sitting on the top of the mountain of killed monsters.
'Bang..' he Muttered.
Thud...
A body of an Ogre having a hole in his head fell on the ground. A goblin picked the stone axe and start running towards this figure However, before he could even reach him, his body began to disintegrate and completely disappeared from existence.
Individual sitting on the mountain jumped from the top down to the ground and picked Goblin's axe and threw it on the left side towards a pack of hound, The axe crushed the head of each Hound within a second then flew towards an ogre running from his death however no one could dodge its death.
thud...
The body of the last monster fell.
Shadow Figure wiped his face exposing his facial features, He was none other than Jason covered with filth from head to toe, His hairs were reaching to his shoulders, Wearing only a self sewed Pants.
His face was now that of a man instead of a child. He lifted his eye towards a direction and a spear shot towards him from a mountain of bodies only to curl wrap around his arm.
'Now 6782' He murmured in a deep voice.
these numbers were the monsters he killed till now and they were rising at an incredible rate., He eradicated everything that crossed his path.
Jason was still not anywhere near that Temple.
He looked at the sky before started walking towards the mountain ignoring the massacre he did,
He took a step forward and flames bent to form a path for him, mountains of bodies start glowing and disappeared leaving cores floating in the air, which followed Jason like a swarm of bees and formed an arm in place of Jason's left arm. Jason entered into the dense forest.
'I need something to drink and wash'
Jason murmured while looking around and soon started running in a direction he heard the sound of liquid, As he kept running sound of water his speed kept Increasing. It had been two days since he'd drunk anything natural but it didn't affect him.
He jumped on a branch and climbed to the top of that tree to see ahead, He noticed a river 2-3km away.
sighs.
'It's still very far' Jason muttered seeing flames of Temple.
'This new life is proving too hard'
Jason said before jumping down. It took him merely 30 seconds to reach the riverbank, He could see the riverbank from the forest but before he walked into the open area he decided to observe the bank for some time from the shadows of trees. Jason's eye changed its color in pitch-black darkness to see clearly.
'Should I go or not ?'
Jason peeked and found everything ok and approached the river slowly and carefully, Band uncurled itself like a snake and enlarged into a spear.
'Everything is ok.....' Jason consoled himself.
From the forest, he couldn't see, but now he noticed that this river originates from a lake at the foot of a large waterfall.
'Woww, what a huge waterfall' Jason praised the beauty.
