CH 20 GETTING STRONGER
'Come, I want to see something.' Tvastha said.
Boom!
Tvastha disappeared, but they know he shot in the sky so without thinking they decided to follow his command.
Ezek leaped in that direction before running and disappeared in an instant as if he knew where to go, his speed was faster than Jason's top speed.
Jason also shot in the sky but this time he has some idea how to fly, so he was faster than before.
***
Though it took him only a few seconds to reach there still he was the last to come. Tvastha and Ezek were standing in the mid of the open ground where Tvastha and Jason fought. Ezek was huffing and panting just like Jason while Tvastha was standing next to Ezek, he didn't even have a single drop of sweat.
'I must perfect my flying first, Even Ezek reached here by running before me, I heard Mugei's are naturally fast but tvastha also trained him, so it must not be his top speed. God help me.' Jason murmured as he approached them holding his stomach while huffing.
Tvastha and Ezek were staring at him as if they were going to kill him with their stares.
'You are too slow, I am forgiving you this time only however you will face consequences next time so Increase your agility.' Tvastha scolded Jason.
Jason understood that tvastha was saying the truth he was slow, but he can't Increase his agility in an instant he had to earn Stats point to do so.
Jason just nodded and listened to the scolding of his Master quietly.
'Sorry master, I will practice it more' Jason apologized while bowing down by ninety degrees.
Tvastha blinked his eyes in acceptance and closed his eyes as if he was thinking something.
'Come here for a second.' Tvastha murmured.
Jason hesitatingly approached Tvastha and suddenly Tvastha grabbed Jason's hand before making a small cut on his palm.
'Oooch'
Blood oozed out the next second but instead of falling down, blood starts floating and soon formed a marble-sized drop near Tvastha's forehead before starting glowing and then vanished. This was a strange phenomenon. For a normal person, it may look like blood disappeared out in thin air, but Jason observed the whole event, Blood drop converted into energy and entered Tvastha's body.
'Can he also absorb energy?.' Jason asked himself.
[AS DRAGON HE CAN ALSO HARNESS ENERGY BUT HE COULD NEVER DO IT AS EFFICIENTLY AS THE HOST]
[DRAGONS ARE COSMIC BEINGS AND CONTROL NATURAL POWERS]
[ACCESS TO FURTHER INFORMATION IS DENIED]
'Oh ok I am not asking for any more information, Dragons are sure interesting creatures.' Jason said to himself in his mind.
More blood drops formed and start floating until they reached near Tvastha's forehead and disappeared the next second.
But Jason didn't try to free his hand from Tvastha's grip his eyes were fixed at the blood drops. In his mind, Jason knows whatever Master was doing must be meaningful.
A few moments later Master opened his eyes and left his hand before walking away from them a little.
'So from Jason's blood, I got information about his planet and origin.
So Jason do you want to see your world?' Tvastha suddenly dropped this bomb with a smile.
'Huh!, do you mean my planet from here?' Jason asked tvastha.
Jason couldn't believe what he heard.
'Yes you heard right, I am going to open a window to your world, but it will be at a random place.' Tvastha said on seeing Jason's expressions.
Jason could only nod in response as Tvastha stretched his hand and rotated his hands.
Soon, the air became violent around him to avoid it Jason jumped back to maintain distance between them. The air was still violent but next instant a glowing crack appeared in the air and soon spread in all directions in a spiral shape.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Jason and Ezek's eyes widened as they saw a portal formed near Tvastha.
'Woahhhhh'
Jason had never seen how the gate opens, so it was his first experience, his eyes were wide open and expressions were clearly stating how exciting and curious he was about the phenomenon. To observe the portal from all angles, he started walking around Tvastha.
'Woah, Is this also your ability master?' Jason asked curiously.
'No you could also do this but for now, observe me.' Tvastha replied as the portal widened to the size of the average human.
'Oh That would be Awesome, but I can sense a lot going on with Astral energies around it, it must be fu**** hard.' Jason murmured as he fixed his eyes on Tvastha.
Jason was on high alert, he was sensing everything that was going on there. He could feel the storm of Astral energy around the portal it was too violent and bright that Jason couldn't see there for long. Jason's eyes were fixed at the center of the portal, it was like he was starting in an abyss, but suddenly he shuddered as a current ran through his body.
'What was that, I felt someone was staring at me from the portal' Jason murmured while staring at the center of it.
A chill ran down through his body, he felt an unimaginable fear, but that was just for a second when his eyes met some unknown's eye.
'That must be an illusion' Jason thought in his mind as he walked near the portal.
'Along with Astral energy, I could feel many other things vaguely. What are those'
'Those are enoic particles. I will tell you about them later, first come here and see this. You too Ezek.' Tvastha said while taking a step back and placing his hands in his pocket.
Ezek and Jason quickly ran over and stood next to Tvastha. They looked at the Portal and only see clouds, but suddenly clouds moved away and revealed a scene that seemed out of a Horror movie. The eyes of all three twitched as they saw the scene of the apocalypse. Jason rubbed his eye several times too, He was staring at the scene in front of him as if his Eyeball was going to pop out.
'Hey Little cub, Do you know this place?' Tvastha said as he moved his hand like he was swiping on the screen and soon the scene of the portal changed.
"HYaaa! Kyaaa!" Sounds from portal.
Jason carefully observed everything that he was seeing. Destruction, deaths, and calamity these were the word that could describe all pictures he saw. Cities were burning, Screams of humans and roars of monsters had filled the atmosphere, Ground was bathed in the blood of hunters and citizens. Ezek closed his eyes and ears with his hands, he couldn't watch this horror whereas Tvastha and Jason were watching with curiosity and interest.
'Yess. I know this place, It's Australia.' Jason murmured as he walked near the portal and tried to touch it.
Hmm...
A transparent screen stopped Jason's Hand, But he moved his Eyes just an inch away from the screen.
'You couldn't enter this type of Gate.' Tvastha said while putting his hand on Jason's shoulder.
'Don't be sad about them, look forward and become stronger to prevent this situation in the future.' Tvastha said without emotion, his face was blank and rigid.
A maniac smile appeared on Jason's face, He turned around and stared into the master's eyes.
'Why would I be sad, I give them a weapon that could have avoided this, yet they killed me.' Jason said in a serious voice.
Jason took a long sigh.
'You see these Guy they were the ones that killed me, let them suffer' Jason shouted while pointing his finger towards a screen that was presenting a hunter surrounded by thousands of snarlers.
'Hoo… Oh'
Tvastha let out a deep breath and nodded, Tvastha stared at the hunter about which Jason was pointing.
'So she is Alice.'
Tvastha swiped again, and soon a picture appeared, It was showing a dark smoke revolving over half the Australia, In the first look, it may appear like dark clouds revolving about a point but actually, it was the black gate.
The size was so massive that it had blocked the sun rays over Half of Australia.
Tasha's expression worsened when he saw this gate, Air around him became heavy. Jason with an expressionless face was glaring at the gate and suddenly turned his back on the portal.
Tvastha's grip over his wand tightened as his eyes became wet and a tear rolled on his cheek, but before anyone could notice this side of Tvastha he cleaned the tears.
'Let us start the training, follow me for the ceremony.' Tvastha said before tapping his wand on the ground.
Boom!
Suddenly Portal exploded leaving blue sparks behind. Jason and Ezek watched this and turned towards Tvastha, who had already left the place.
'Let's go.' Ezek said to Jason.
There was complete silence between Jason and Ezek, Jason was following Ezek who knew where the master went.
'Hey Brother, Was that place beautiful before this calamity?' Ezek asked innocently looking towards Jason.
Jason didn't say a word for few moments, He turned his Gaze towards Ezek. They both halted their steps simultaneously.
'Yes, That place was very beautiful before all of this. Everything was peaceful, but now everything was lost to that gate. Mi…millions of lives are sacrificed. It's happening what I tried to avoid but don't worry bro I will punish every responsible person.
A glow appeared in Ezek's eyes, he felt a sense of relief and happiness.
This might be a start of a relationship between Jason and Ezek, but Jason still couldn't believe anybody, deep down in his heart he had a fear that someone might stab his back again, and he couldn't trust anyone to accept himself however he may not trust Ezek and Tvastha wholeheartedly, but he knew right now only Tvastha and Ezek could help him reach his goal.
***
Ezek followed by Jason walked into a big hall and at the center of the hall, There was a massive trident. Trident looked old and had a large crystal embedded in the blade. Jason Inspected the statue, but the system declined to give any information. Jason could sense the energy that the trident was emitting continuously. It was the same enoic energy along with astral energy, it filled the whole Hall.
Tvastha was standing next to Trident.
'Oh welcome. This is a replica of mighty Trishul, the weapon of God.' Tvastha said proudly pointing at Trident.
As Jason crossed a circle drawn on the ground. He felt all his energy leaving his body, but he kept walking.
[YOU HAVE ENTERED DRAGON SPHERE]
[CEREMONY WILL BEGIN IN 3…2…1…]
[ASCENSION STAGE 2 STARTING...]
'Huh, these notifications now started to annoy me.'
Jason and Ezek stood in front of Tvastha like good disciples. Jason's eyes were fixed at the Trident it seemed as if the trident was calling for Jason.
Tvastha summoned his wand and placed it next to Trident, then asked Jason to do the same.
As Jason made his way near the Trident, he called upon Hela before placing it near the base of the trident shaft.
'What the hell is this!'
Hmm...
Hela vibrated a little. Tvastha instructed both of his disciples to stand facing the Trident and hold the shaft of it. The shaft of Trident was cold as Ice. It was made of a blue-colored metal. Jason was analyzing his surroundings while Ezek was lost in his thought.
'Master I need a weapon too' Ezek said to tvastha politely.
Jason and Tvastha giggled, honestly Tvastha expected that Ezek would ask for one soon. Ezek was looking at him with glowing eyes.
'Don't worry you will get your soon however I will teach you how to use every weapon.' Tvastha answered.
A smile appeared on Ezek's face on hearing a favorable answer while Jason felt intriguing on hearing Master's plan of teaching every Weapon.
Just then Tvastha stood behind them.
'I will now start the ceremony.'
'$@%%@$%@%@$%@%%*!@*!@&@'
Tvastha started murmuring something which was echoing in that Hall like an Oracle. Soon Jason's body started getting warm as he felt his energy leaving his body at a faster rate.
'Koo-aahhk!'
Jason and Ezek felt a pain sweeping through their body
