Jax couldn't believe his eyes, he was having a tough battle with a teenager something unheard of, but what shocks him the most is the kind of abilities he was displaying, it was an ability he's never heard of or seen and he was starting to think maybe he was not human like him but a demon or something close to it. But he was prepared to kill it here no matter what, activating his Inner beast something only talented mages who have reached the Violet realm can summon but he was lucky enough to unlock his partially even though he was at the blue realm two realms below the violet realm.
If it's possible enough don't kill him I want to get some information from him Mazael said to Eros while watching the fight, well I'll try my best it's not like we are sparring he's trying to kill me!! He retorted back. Standing opposite him a blue glow could be seen around Jax while summoned his Inner Beast and then a symbol of an armadillo could be seen on his forehead with a blow faint glow while his arms, legs and chest now have blue scales all over them except for his face, lower abdomen and thighs. He now looked more intimidating but it didn't scare him one bit infact he was intrigued and so was Mazael who had been spectating the whole time.
Now that's an interesting sight I've never seen that before but his power just increased so it's gonna be more difficult for you so I'm gonna help out this time I'll give you that very useful ability I told you about just close your eyes while release it in you, closing his eye for a second while his Soul Perception was still active to watch his opponent he felt a sudden increase in power, what power did you grant me now? He asked Mazael.
I gave you the Mimic ability it allows me to mimic abilities of my opponents but with a 20 percent power decrease and it's limited to 3 different abilities so choose wisely the ability to mimic and keep because you can only use one ability out of the 3 at a time but it runs on mana instead but you can use your soul energy but it costs much more
Cost: 10 soul energy per minute and the stronger the ability copied the higher the cost.
I can worry about getting soul energy later I have to defeat this guy first, opening his eyes which now glowed brighter he mimicked and activated the hardening ability too but he couldn't release an inner beast because he didn't really have the full power of the ability but it was more than enough for him, jumping to another tree at incredible speed he jumped into the air and was coming down with a kick to Jax face one of the few vulnerable spots, rolling forward he managed to dodge the kick which left a little crater where it landed, activating his Soul perception and not allowing Jax the chance to breathe he went in for a punch to the lower abdomen to which Jax quickly moved his ability to that spot while Eros picked up on the switch as fast as he did, he had just 30 seconds left for his attack rune so he threw out his other fist real fast at the now exposed rib cage of Jax but leaving himself open at the same time, the force of the punch hit Jax like a cannon to the chest sending him crashing through trees till he passed out from the pain of a caved chest, he was on his last breath the damage was severe, skidding across the floor was Eros too although he got his hit in it left him defenceless and had made Jax slam him with the full force of his axe swing to the side but the hardening ability took most of the damage there he was glad he had predicted the direction of the swing or else he would have been cut into two but he knew he wouldn't die from it but he didn't want to experience it either.
Laying on his back with a bloodied cloth and body he stood up to go check his opponent who was struggling to breathe, You did good kid! Mazael said while smiling now let me get those informations, activating his own advanced soul eye Mazael read through his mind in a few seconds while Jax eyes glowed an ominous golden and dark glow and then he became limp and died after, a sudden rush in power also flowed into Ero's body and it left him a huge amount of soul energy which he didn't expect
He thought humans gave just 10 soul energy but Jax gave him a 100 instead but he guessed it was because he was a mage and not a regular warrior.
Sooo… what'd you find out? , using their mind link Mazael shared what he found out with him, and he suddenly realized even he didn't know much about where he was born and grew up, according to the memories of Jax, Earth is now Split into 4 major kingdoms with the royal family controlling the West,South,East and Nothern Hemispheres
The West also known as Westoria is ruled by the Castle Royal Family they are descendants of the God Zeus someone Mazael had fought with and defeated during the Interrealm war that happened long ago.
The South is ruled by the Melios Royal Family they are descendants of the God of War Ares
The East is ruled by the Optimus Royal Family they are by far the strongest nation due to how many mages and resources they had
The North is ruled by the Lothbrok Royal Family they have the strongest Navy and are dreaded on the seas.
Although the Four powerful Nations are strong and always at war they have a common enemy, a Powerful Mage called Uzeroth or The Harbinger of Chaos as he's mostly called controls the lands between all 4 kingdoms and they've been waging war with him for more than 2 centuries now and both sides have incurred major losses so an agreement had been made that all kingdoms would sign a peace treaty that'll last every 2 centuries before being signed again and that had allowed peace to rain between all 4 kingdoms for 400 years now until Uzeroth striked again and went for the West first due to how weak they were compared to the rest and before reinforcements could arrive to the west from the others he had already conquered Westoria and slaughtered countless people and since then the other kingdoms have been at war with him for some time now which caused lots of deserted Warriors. Making some of them resort to the bandit life to survive and not get caught.
Eros is from the South Kingdom and was from a very small village so he didn't know about the existence of all this and even magic and Mages, he had been a cripple all his life he never thought he would leave the village.
Let's get back home Anita is probably worried sick about me he said while running at top speed and using his Soul Perception to see farther than usual and in 30 minutes he got to the gate at the back of the mansion but he had one problem how would he explain his sudden ability to walk, Mazael help me out how do I fool them??! , oh that's not a problem he replied, all you have to do is Suppress your Soul Hunter powers and then go seat on a wheelchair and put a big cloth over your legs simple as that Mazael said while laughing at his own simple suggestion but he expected it to work for now.
Doing what Mazael thought him he suppressed his powers and his golden and black irises returned to his normal blue colour while his jet black and white hair returned to his normal dirty blonde something that still surprises him, he quickly flew over the fence with incredible speed and agility and then jumped to the second floor where his window was, entering the room he quickly changed and brought out his only other extra wheelchair and sat on it while putting a big blanket over his leg that he would explain was for the cold if he was asked about it.
