Chapter 1541: Jason, My Choice—Return...! (part 2)
Captulo 1541: Chapter 43: Jason, My Choice—Return…! (Part 2)
This left Jason momentarily stunned.
Then, he saw the term ‘secret weapon’.
"Because of the ‘secret weapon’?”
Jason pondered, his gaze fixed on the words ‘incomplete first layer’.
The incomplete first layer already had a defense capable of resisting explosive-level forces.
What about the complete first layer?
At least vehicle-level, right?
What about the higher layers?
"Jing’s products are always top-notch!”Jason sighed in admiration.
Afterwards, he confirmed this admiration.
Raging flames soared high into the sky.
It wasn’t just the high temperature!
There were explosions too!
Explosion after explosion!
Ordinarily, each time, Jason would be ‘blown to pieces’.
However, at this moment, his body was merely ‘expanded’ layer by layer.
Ultimately, it didn’t ‘break’.
Boom!
Another massive explosion.
A colossal flame dragon, often hundreds of meters long, was born from the explosion.
It soared high into the sky.
With a proud roar, it let out a dragon’s cry.
Ultimately, in a dive, it merged into Jason’s body.
And Jason, who had been holding on all the while, was instantly charred black.
Then, he returned to normal.
[The Dragon. Battle Mark. Prous. Griffin. Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique] provided a defense beyond vehicle-level, coupled with [Horizontal Training] offering bullet-level defense and [Titanium Extreme Body] with explosive-level defense, had long made Jason’s body beyond imagination.
It was a 1+1+1 > 3 effect.
Although in the end, Jason would ‘meet his demise’,
The scene, however, looked much better.
At least it wasn’t bloody.
[Dragon Flame Technique: In the past, the wizards in the ‘Delmod’ tower studied those terrifying dragons. They coveted the dragons’ strength and longevity, hoping to uncover their secrets. Alas, this brought them to a catastrophic demise. The ‘Crimson Lord’, the ‘Flame King’, the ‘Sun above the Sky’, the dragon Kerimoto Dila, with a single spread of its wings, erased ‘Delmod’ from the map. Yet, mysteriously, some of their research survived; Effect: You need to complete a full hand gesture and blow with your mouth to launch a flame attack with a length not exceeding 20 meters, a width not exceeding 45, and power beyond bullet-level.]
(Note: It is incomplete, you cannot upgrade its level!)
…
The inability to upgrade the level was within Jason’s expectations; there was nothing to be disappointed about.
Just like how [Dragon Flame Technique] and [Charles Burning Technique] produced a wonderful chemical reaction.
[Determining Dragon Flame Technique…]
[Determination successful!]
[Dragon Flame Technique supplements Charles Burning Technique. Do you spend 200 satiety points to supplement?!]
…
"Yes.”
Jason gave a definitive answer.
Then, another fusion occurred.
Unlike before.
This time, Jason felt scorching heat.
And felt incinerated.
Yet, he did not die.
The powerful defense once again allowed Jason to experience the pleasure of being ‘better off dead’.
Previously, although he died, it was at least a quick death.
Now?
Over and over again.
Forced Jason to clench his teeth to stop from making any noise.
It lasted a full five minutes.
Sweat had long soaked Jason’s clothes.
Once everything calmed down, Jason looked at the text in front of him.
[Charles Burning Technique (Master): This is a secret technique that requires neither gestures nor incantation in Dufol Language to cast, but it requires a significant amount of mysterious knowledge and a resilient will as a foundation; Its origin at the start is untraceable. Even Gerard, who unearthed this secret technique from the ruins, does not know its beginnings. It can only be determined to come from an ancient era and different system, and to make this secret technique adapt to the current system, Gerard made a series of improvements and additions, leading to significant changes from the original. These changes happened multiple times in your hands, making it more powerful. Then, you optimized and supplemented it multiple times; Effect: Consumes some physical strength to produce a conical flame (from the palm length 1-60 long 0.01 meters-30 meters, height 0.01 meters-3.0 meters, flame size and shape can be determined by your will, but cannot exceed limits) at war machine level. Continuous spraying will continuously consume physical strength; You can choose any hand for attack, or simultaneously release two flames with both hands, but the physical energy consumption doubles]
…
[Charles Burning Technique supplemental upgrade, optimization inherent option ‘Flame Transformation’ enhancement:]
[Flame Transformation: You can choose the initial way to spray flames or change the flame’s shape. You can attach it to your fists or shoot it out as a fireball; you can also transform it into armor, encompassing your entire body; when making these changes, the basic power of the flame remains the same. When attached to the fists, physical strength decreases, providing explosive-level protection for both hands; When shooting fireballs, the fireball radius must not exceed 1.0 meters (fireball power size relates to radius), while the throw distance relates to one’s strength; when you choose to transform it into armor, you will receive protection beyond explosive-level resistance, though it will continuously consume your physical strength]
…
Another significant progress.
The flame length extended from 20 meters to 30 meters.
The flame height increased from 2 meters to 3 meters.
The flame angle expanded from 50 to 60.
Everything aligned with Jason’s expectations.
Including the [Titanium Extreme Body], a total of 503 satiety points were consumed.
Sitting among the tree branches, Jason took a deep breath, quickly adjusting his state.
Then, he took out that black notebook.
He opened it directly to the sixth page.
Main course!
The words written on the cover page had not changed.
Just like before.
Jason looked at these short sentences and grinned.
He shook his head.
The ‘main course’ before him, he could be sure, was fraught with crises.
Because…
All of this was carefully designed.
From the very beginning, it was like this.
Step by step, luring him to this point.
Then?
Enter the ‘main course.’
Once he enters, he might really become ‘food’ for others, right?
Hunter and prey are never constant.
They are always subject to change.
And every change stems from the most minute details.
Perhaps you have been very cautious.
But,
The flaw appeared from the start.
Jason began flipping through the pages of the book.
Finally, he stopped on the first page.
[Isn’t the beauty of predation the constant switching?] .
[This is dining etiquette!]
[It needs to be remembered!]
[And it requires… a lesson!]
…
[Food fills the stomach!]
[Hunger disappears!]
[One should feel happy!]
(Note: Original dining etiquette.)
…
[The first time is rightfully free.]
[The second time?]
[You need to spend satiety points.]
[Yes/No: Spend 5 satiety points to return?]
…
Line by line of familiar text began to appear before Jason’s eyes, and in his mind, images of those somewhat unfamiliar streets and faces emerged, along with… the dish he least wanted to remember.
Staring at the starry sky?
Bah!
A bunch of dead fish eyes looking up at the sky.
It should be called ‘skyward dead fish eyes.’
If you eat such food, you’d probably be watched by dead fish eyes even when you sleep.
Thankfully, he didn’t eat it.
It’s better to die than be humiliated.
How could he go back to eat ‘skyward dead fish eyes’?!
Moreover, Taniel promised him a few truly delicious dishes.
It was something to look forward to.
Thinking of this, Jason’s mouth curled up.
But immediately, Jason’s gaze dimmed.
He thought of the ‘old knight.’
That upright, passionate old man.
Although they hadn’t interacted much, the trust from the other side had truly infected Jason.
Jason never expected to meet someone like the ‘old knight.’
Someone who would actually entrust their back to a stranger they had only met once.
Then there was his servant.
Another foolish fellow.
Speaking of following, he truly followed.
Even if death lay ahead, it was all the same.
"Those who are blinded by so-called ‘knight’s honor’, unable to see reality!”
"Such fools!”
Jason whispered to himself from the bottom of his heart.
Then, his fist slowly tightened.
Gradually clenched together.
"Lorde…”
"I’m back.”
