Immediately After Chapter 17 We See Jason,Aria,Jay And The Grand Elder Having A Stand Off With Selene And The Figure After The Revelation That Selene Was The One Spreading The News If Jason's Demonic Transformation As Jason Is Shocked After Learning Of This.
Jason(Voice Cracking): S- Selene?
Selene(Ominous): You Were Always A Pawn Jason, A Mere Vessel.
Jason(Angry): You Would Really Do This To Your Family?
Aria(Tense): Selene, Why?
Selene(Smirking): I Have My Reasons, Aria You Would Never Understand.
The Figure(Menacingly): Save The Drama For Later, We Have A Vessel To Claim.
Grand Elder(Serious): What Makes You Think We'll Let You Take Him?
Selene(Chilling): You're Naive Grand Elder, Jason's Fate Was Sealed The Moment Malum Was Sealed Inside Of Him.
The Figure: I'll Take Those Three And You Capture The Vessel.
The Figure Then Jumps Away As Jay,Aria,The Grand Elder Follow After Him And Selene And Jason Have A Stand Off As The Two Begin To Fight As They Both Begin With Clashing Fists, Jason Then Activates The Cursed Seals And Charges His Hellfire And Engulfs His Entire Body With The Flames As He Launches A Barrage Of Fire Coated Punches At Selene As Selene Blocks Every One Of Them.
Selene Then Responds By Using Blood Manipulation And Cutting Her Arms To Create Blood Scythes And Swings Them At Jason As Jason With His Precognition Dodges Every Swing, Then Jason Grabs Selene And Summons Lightning Down From The Sky And Directs It Down At Her Which Destroys The Area Around Them, However As The Smoke Around The Area Subsides Selene Comes Out Unharmed As She Has Absorbed The Lightning.
Jason And Selene Then Rush Toward Each Other As Their Fists Clash, And When Their Fists Clash We Then Go Into Selene's Mind As Memories Of Her And Jason When They Were Younger Start Flowing Through Her Mind… The First Memory We See Is When Jason When he Was 3yrs Old And Selene Is 7yrs Old And Selene Just Gets Back Home From The Sorcerer Academy And Walks Through The Door.
Young Selene: Mom Dad I'm Home.
Young Jason(Happy/Excited): Big Sis Is Home.
Jason Then Runs Toward Selene With His Arms Open Wide And With A Big Smile On His Face.
Young Selene(Happy): Hey Baby Bro.
Young Jason(Excited): Sewene Come Play With Me.
Selene(Playful): Alright.
The Memory Scene Then Ends As We Then Get Back To The Fight And See Jason Crying As He Then Focuses His Soul Energy To His Throat And Fires It Off At Selene Blowing Her Back Through Multiple Trees, Selene Then Gets Up And Grows Wings On Her Back The Wing In The Right Is Black And The One On The Right Is White And She Then Grows A Black And White Halo Hovering Over Her Head As Her Eyes Turn A Pure White Color.
Jason(Thinking): What The Hell Is That?
Selene In Her First Form Then Speed Blitzes Jason Who Has No Time To React And Manages To Deliver Multiple Slashes On His Body She Then Flys Back Around And Cuts Him In The Face Once More In Which She Slashes His Eye Leaving A Long Scar Over His Right Eye.
Jason(Screaming In Pain): AAAAAARGH!!!
Meanwhile As Jason Continues To Scream In Pain We Cut To The Fight Between The Figure And Jay,Aria And The Grand Elder As Jay And Aria Seem To Be Exhausted And The Figure And The Grand Elder Are Still Standing And Fighting.
Grand Elder(Thinking): Damn This Guy Is Strong.
The Figure(Disappointed): Are You Done Wasting Your Time?
The Figure Then Focuses His Dark Energy To His Hand And Touches The Ground Sending His Dark Energy To The Ground Causing It To Tremble And Shake Then A Surge Of Dark Energy Erupts From The Ground Then Molten Rocks Come Up From The Ground As The Grand Elder Then Flys In The Air And Sends Down A Massive Energy Ball To Which The Figure Then Opens His Mouth And Absorbs It, This Also Replenishes The Figure's Dark Energy.
The Grand Elder Then Responds By Creating Multiple Clones Of Himself And They All Rush The Figure Then Releases A Surge Of Dark Energy That Destroys The Clones And Rushes The Grand Elder Grabs Him By The Throat And Explodes His Body From The Inside, Then The Grand Elder Re Appears Behind The Figure And Reveals That The Person He Exploded Was A Clone As The Grand Elder Then Teleports To The Figure And Grabs Him While Chanting The Incantations For The Soul Purge Technique As The Sky Turns Purple And The Wind Picks Up.
The Figure(Thinking): What Is This?
Grand Elder: Souls Bound, Evil Essence Entwined, Sever This Unholy Tie That Binds Thy Soul.
As The Grand Elder Finishes Chanting The Incantations For The Soul Purge Technique He Reaches Inside The Body Of The Figure And Tries To Pull His Soul Out Of His Body, However He Can't Feel His Soul When Reaching Into His Body?
Grand Elder(Confused): What?
Grand Elder(Confused): I Can't Feel His Soul.
The Figure(Menacing): You Can't Feel My Soul Can't You?
The Figure: Well Unlike You Humans And Sorcerers We Demons Don't Have Souls, So Your Soul Purge Technique Is Ineffective.
The Figure Then Grabs The Grand Elder By His Head And Throws A Barrage Of Heavy Punches Into His Lungs Absolutely Crushing Them, Then The Figure Throws Grand Elder At The Ground Where Aria And Jay Are standing.
Aria(Worried): Grand Elder!!!
Jay(Confident): Aria Treat The Old Geezer's Wound, I'll Handle This Guy.
Aria(Worried): Are You Sure? This Guy Is Really Powerful.
Jay(Confident): Have You Forgotten Who Your Teacher Is?
Aria(Thinking/Comedically): Says The One Who Has Won Zero Battles Since We Started Going On Missions.
Jay Then Walks Up To The Figure As He Is Reaching For The Bandages On His Face As He Then Rips Them Off And Shows His Face.
Aria(Thinking): Huh?
Aria(Thinking): Mr Jay's Bandages, So That's What He Looks Like.
Aria(Thinking): But What Was The Point In Doing That?
As Jay Took His Bandages Off His Face All Of A Suddenly His Soul Energy Just Skyrocketed The Figure Takes Notice Of This And Is Actually Trembling.
The Figure(Thinking): What The Hell Is This?
The Figure(Analyzing): He Just Took Off Those Bandages And His Soul Energy Went Through The Roof.
The Figure(Analyzing): Oh I See? Those Bandages Covering His Face Must've Been Limiting The Amount Of Power He Could Release.
Jay(Cocky): What's Wrong? Your Trembling.
Jay Then Uses His Immense Speed To Rush At The Figure And Punches Him In The Stomach As The Figure Starts Coughing Up Blood, Then The Punch Blows The Figure Back Into Trees.
The Figure(Thinking): The Hell? His Power Is Completely Different From Earlier.
Then A Thundercloud Forms In The Sky As It Starts Raining And It Gets Dark Around The World, We Then Go To Jay As He Is Charging Up His Thunder-Blink Technique As Thunder Forms Around His Body And His Eyes Glow A Thundery Blue Color And He Then Uses The Thunder To Teleport To The Figure, Then Jay Appears In Front Of The Figure And Starts Chanting An Ancient Incantation.
Jay(Chanting): In The Hush Of Eternity, I Invoke Temporal Suspension, Where Time Stands Frozen In My Command.
Then Everything Around The Figure And Jay Freezes Every Living And Non Living Thing Freezes In Time Then A Barrier Opens Around The Surrounding Area As The Color Of The World Seem's To Drain Away And Everything Appears Black And White Almost As If Time Is Standing Still, The Figure Then Looks Around.
The Figure(Confused): I See, So This Is The Reality Manipulation Ability Only Known To The Best Sorcerers.
The Figure Then Launches A Dark Energy Blast At Jay To Which The Blast Then Slows Down And Stops Right Before It Even Comes Close To Jay.
The Figure(Analyzing/Thinking): So This Is The Ability Of His Altered Reality, Absolute Control Over Time.
Jay Then Fly's To The Figure And Tries To Attack Him As The Figure Then Uses His Matter Manipulation Ability To Create A Weapon Out Of The Matter Located In The Air And Stabs Jay Clean Through His Chest.
Jay(In Pain): *Coughs Up Blood.
The Figure: Don't Tell Me That's All You've Got.
Jay Then Backs Away As The Figure Then Notices Something.
The Figure: Huh?
Jay Uses His Absolute Control Over Time To Reverse The Stab Wound As It Then Regenerates.
The Figure(Analyzing): Absolute Control Over Time, And He Even Reversed The Fatal Wound.
The Figure Then Tries To Rush Jay But Jay Then Reverses Time And Sends Him Back To The Spot He Was Standing In, Then Seconds Later Jay's Altered Reality Starts To Wear Off As The Barrier Then Shatters.
The Figure: So It Seem's Like That Was The Time Limit For Your False Reality, I'll Admit It Was Impressive.
The Figure(Thinking): I Can't Beat Him Currently, I'll Have To Go Get Selene And We Will Retreat.
The Figure: That Was Fun, However I Have Business To Attend To I'll Be Seeing You Soon.
The Figure Then Teleports Away.
