CH 15 HELPLESS
It felt really strange that Ezek was speaking a strange language but Jason could understand it and could even speak it properly.
Ezek introduced himself to Jason. Jason asked him how he came here, but He found out that Ezek grew up in this void here in this void and Master was the one that raised him till now, Except for him, he had never met anyone else, but when he saw Jason, he became curious about him, so he came to meet him once he got a chance.
Jason felt that Ezek was just like a child who never left his home and was curious to know about unknown mysteries, therefore he did not feel threatened by him However It's been a very long since Jason talked to anyone other than himself, so he felt strange.
'I am Jason white' murmured, Jason as he took another sip of water.
Jason then asked questions about Master however, Ezek avoided his question and kept asking about him without giving Jason any time to answer. When Ezek stopped Jason was staring at him with a Blank face.
'Why are you not answering?' Complained Ezek.
'You…' Before Jason could reply, a sudden loud shout interrupted him.
Someone was shouting Ezek's name from outside in an angry voice, Initially, Jason can't hear what the person was shouting, but soon he could hear the shouts.
Master was calling for Ezek in his deep rough voice.
'Oh, I forgot, Master ordered me to bring you, he-he' Said Ezek while giggling.
He untied the Chains from the table leaving Jason's Hands and legs tied. He lifted Jason on his shoulders and walked out of the room.
'Hey, what are you doing, Untie me I will not run' hesitated Jason while moving his legs and punching Ezek.
Jason struggled a lot to free himself but the grip of Ezek around him was very strong and these chains around Jason were suppressing his all stats.
'Put me down, I will not run' Jason shouted as Ezek walked out into the open area brightened by sunlight. It's been a long time since he felt the warmth of sunlight.
It took few moments for Jason's eye to adjust to sudden gloom as he emerged from the cave-like structure
This area was open and surrounded by tall and thick trees, Trees had marks and signs that show someone trains here regularly. At the center of this open field, a person wearing a Yukata stood holding a sword staring directly in Jason's eye. Just looking in Master's eyes made him shiver.
"Oh fu**, Is He going to sacrifice me," Jason thought in his mind as he tried to free himself but again failed.
'Put me down' screamed Jason before closing his eyes.
Jason focused and tried to use his abilities.
'I must do it' Murmured Jason with a calm voice.
His heartbeat calmed down while he focused on the energy revolving inside him which soon started increasing at a fast pace. Jason opened his eye suddenly and clenched his fists.
A blue glow appeared in his eyes that spread through his whole body, his nose starts bleeding.
'Astral burst'
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Chains fell on the ground, But before Jason could do anything more his world turned upside down, and the next instant he was on the ground. Dumbfounded Jason looked around and find Master standing next to him pointing a sword to his neck.
'Huh?' Jason thought how did he get here from Ezeks hand.
Jason stared at Master's face, Now Jason could see it more clearly.
Master was a middle-aged man with yellow eyes, brownish hairs, a little bit of beard, and Lotus white skin.
Master slightly moved his hand.
'F***, I am dead' Jason thought in his mind imagining the next move.
Out of sheer instincts, He closed his eyes and lifted his hand while curling into a ball. but nothing happened, After some time Jason opened his eye slowly.
'Who are you?' Asked Master from Jason in a deep and calm voice.
Master also spoke in strange language but he could understand it easily.
Jason initially remained silent but then Master widened his eyes before speaking a word and a killing aura suddenly surrounded him making it difficult for him to even move a muscle, suffocating him badly.
Jason vomited the blood as his eye reddened.
'I am…Ja...Ja'
Jason tried to speak, but words didn't come out of his mouth. Just before he was going pass out, killing intent disappeared giving Jason relief. He started taking deep breaths while coughing.
Sitting down against a tree he stares at Master with fear.
'That person is dangerous' Jason thought in his mind.
Master whispered something in Ezek's ear and Ezek went inside the cave leaving them alone.
'You can understand me right, ... Don't worry! We are not your enemy. We will not harm you if you answer all my questions. ' Master told Jason.
But Jason still suspects him, He tried to inspect the master again but still no response then he tried to use his ability, but now he couldn't even feel the energy.
'F***, what should I do?' Jason thought.
'How can I believe that you will not kill me' replied Jason without hesitation.
Master did not expect Jason to remain stubborn, so he got little shock maybe because of Jason's bravery and strong mind. Master thought for few minutes as Ezek returned with a pair of clothes that he put on the garden table.
'You see I don't know which race you belong to, But we had spent Years in this void and never met someone with Intelligence' Master paused as he gave ordered Ezek to help Jason to sit on the table.
'You are an Intruder so for our security, we must know about you however we don't have hostility with any race' Master said giving an impression of a king.
Jason nodded in response, He accepted that what he was saying was correct, so he introduced himself to Master.
'Oh, you are Jason white, umm... A human' Master murmured with a smile.
'I am Tvastha, and he is my disciple Ezekiel' Introduced Master spreading his arms.
Jason sat on the chair and took a deep breath. His body was still healing from the damage he inflicted from Killing Aura of Master.
'2nd question How do you Enter this "VOID"?' Asked Master with a blank face.
He took Jason off-guard, Jason was still confused whether he should tell him about the system or not, If he lied Master would know in instant.
'On my planet Earth, I got into a deadly accident and when I opened my eyes, I was in this Void.' Jason told master, hiding few details.
Hearing this master frowned and took out his wand which scared Jason, but Jason tried to maintain his composure.
'Human, are you saying the truth?' Master asked in a deep rough voice.
A drop of sweat dropped on the ground from Jason's forehead.
' Yess, I am telling Truth, Sir.' Jason replied Politely.
Within a second, Tvastha covered the distance of 5 m and suddenly grabbed Jason's Hand. Ezek suddenly stood up.
'Ezek, Protect the Home. We have some Important work.' Tvastha shouted as he tightens the grip around Jason's hand.
Tvastha shot towards the sky like a beam, causing Jason to feel the weight of the air. It was his first experience with something like this, It felt like he was attached to the rocket that just launched. He found that sunlight was just a spell as he crossed a dome of light.
'Yahhhhahahhh.....' Jason shouted before vomiting.
Everything became dizzy.
After few seconds, their speed decreased and Jason gazed down at the ground. He was flying at the altitude of nearly 900 M, Then he turned to the Temple glowing like a sun in the darkness and dozens of strange structures floating at the far end of the void.
'Are we flying?' Jason asked in dizziness.
'Huh?, You never tried?' Master asked a strange question to Jason before landing on a large open field.
It took Jason's mind few moments to adjust as he just Landed from the ground.
'Ahh, where am I?' Jason murmured.
Shaking his head Jason looked at the Tvastha who was staring at him.
'Tell me how you entered this VOID?'Tvastha asked again in anger.
'How many times should I tell you. I am telling the truth, I was here when I opened my eyes.' Jason shouted while trying to stand.
'So you are telling me you came here on your own.' Master roared as he took out his wand.
'Yeah,' Jason answered while trying to activate any ability.
'Don't try! Elder will not respond to you.' Master murmured, standing next to Jason.
Jason was surprised to see master next to him. Jason looks into his eyes.
'Elder?' Jason asked.
'I mean Voice in your Head!' Answered Tvastha with a blank expression.
Jason understood in an instant that Tvastha was talking about "System".
Jason's eye widened in horror, his heart leaped into his throat and his stomach clenched.
'How did you…' Jason stuttered.
