Three days had passed since the assassination of the young heir of the Blood sect, at the place wherein the big races had gathered.
His untimely and unexpected homicide had caused a huge turmoil, yet, nobody knew who had killed the young heir!
There had only been a message in the universal language scribbled on the wall at the crime scene, and the blood sect patriarch had almost declared war against the Drake clan in a fit!
Who else could have done something like that?? There was no race that used the ice affinity that was also confident to vanish after an assassination!
In the end, there were two higher races and three dozen big clans under a roof. It could only have been the Burane race that was colluding with the Drake family!
Some big clans were having other thoughts about this, but the message written in the universal language was evidence enough that it couldn't have been a human.
That sounded just too implausible to everyone present!
After partially blowing off the wall and releasing huge streams of mana were released during the young blood sect heir's assassination, Jason had only been left with half a minute time to write a message.
If one was not proficient in the language, it would have been impossible to write it down that quickly, without a mistake, and in a beautiful handwriting at that!
Even studying a simple sentence wouldn't be easy to write down in a matter of a few seconds. There were too many points to pay attention to.
In the end, the sentence Jason had written was in a perfect universal language, with words that were not commonly used either.
Nobody had been able to detect Jason's mana fluctuations either because the icicles he had summoned were conjured by Artemis' mana, while he had frozen the room by activating the runes engraved in the Burane race's dagger that was typically used by their assassins.
The entire situation had turned awry, and Jason couldn't help but worry a little bit.
He was not sure if he had done the right thing, but allowing his mother's murderer to live even a second longer was not something Jason could agree with.
If he were to be honest, the young heir from the blood sect had been killed way too easily without feeling much pain.
Jason was not a fan of torturing, and despite him having killed his mother, he didn't feel the desire to degrade himself to become like others.
Despite having killed the young heir, Jason didn't feel any satisfaction. His mother was still dead, and he had only given her soul her final rest.
Nevertheless, when he thought about the Blood sect, and how many humans they had killed, Jason's anger flared.
He was not adamant about killing all of them, but it was evident that they were a menace to mankind.
In the end, Jason had finally completed everything he'd wanted to achieve for the time being.
Mankind was in some sort of a tacit agreement and wouldn't attack each other for the time being, and he had also exacted his revenge.
Despite that, the tasks at hand were too many to count, but the biggest problem was something else!
It might have been only Jason, who was worried about that, but there were other races that had sought asylum on Argos!
He was not sure how many there were and neither what kind of strength they had reached. Nevertheless, they should have a much wider knowledge and grander capabilities compared to the human race.
Jason didn't think that they would suddenly attack Canir owing to the fact that the other continents were said to have a slightly higher mana density and purity, but the situation was unpredictable right now!
Because of that, he decided to take a look at the other continents and figure out what kinds of races inhabited there in addition to their combat strength, how advanced they were, and how dangerous they might be.
Hopefully, there wasn't a grand war brewing on the other continents, otherwise, the three Overlords would have intervened.
When Jason had thought about that, he abruptly halted mid-air.
"Would they have intervened? Was there even a reason strong enough for them to intervene in the Great Argos war, to begin with??"
He had already known that there was something unique about Argos, which had led the three Overlords to intervene.
'Come to think of it, there is no reason for Canir to have less mana than the rest of the world. It is normal for certain environments to have more or less mana due to natural generated treasures, but Canir's mana is less than I thought it would be.'
His Emperor Eyes hadn't detected anything special about Canir, but that didn't mean there was nothing.
There had already been quite a few incidents where he had been unable to see something special through his Emperor Eyes, and completely missed a fully concealed beast, manaless poisonous fog, or the black origin flame crystal!
As such, there could have been something unique on Canir, Jason was unaware of!
This was interesting to know but didn't help him determine whether there could have been a war on the other continent or not.
Jason was not even sure how many continents there were right now, but there was more than enough land for him to adventure through!
More than three centuries had passed since the mana outbreak, and it was not unlikely that certain events like large-scale wars and shifting tectonic plates could have caused the separation of continents.
Thus, after he had picked up Anna, and Solaris, who had immediately entered his soul world, Jason wanted to depart.
However, before doing anything wrong, he had already given Mike, the weapon manufacturer, the copies of all translated manuals of the foreign races.
After that, they had signed a soul contract stating that Mike was not allowed to hand out the manuals to the public.
Only the big clans were allowed to receive a few pages every month, and Jason decided to trust Mike, as a neutral party to do what he couldn't!
Jason knew that he didn't have the time to distribute the translated manuals as promised, thus Mike was his last resort.
He had already informed Lusan and Fasro too that he would depart, and it was only Anna, who he had to ask whether she wanted to stay with him during the next few months or not.
She was a baby and defenseless after all!
Taking her with him everywhere was extremely dangerous and she was likely to turn into a huge burden for him.
Despite happily agreeing, Jason couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
It was only when he heard that Mike's sister had lost her baby before the Great Argos war had started, that Jason got an idea.
Mike told him a lot about his sister and her depressed state, thus giving her a reason to live and work might as well be the best for both Mike's sister and Anna.
Because of that, he decided to ask Mike if it would be fine for his sister to take care of Anna for the time being.
Even though Mike didn't know what had caused Jason to be so careful and gentle with the baby of someone he shouldn't have been acquainted with, he agreed the moment his eyes locked with Anna's.
Anna didn't want to part ways with Jason. There were many things she had wanted to ask, and only he knew about her being a transmigrator!
Revealing this fact to the outside world could end up disastrous, which had been the reason for her to rely on Jason.
Now that he was about to leave, she might understand his reasoning, but couldn't accept it.
This might have been her selfishness, but Jason was simply the best solution to all of her problems.
Nevertheless, after thinking about it, Jason decided to leave Anna with Mike's sister as he told the little baby,
"I will definitely return, and when it's time for our reunion we might as well be able to properly speak with each other!"
Every word he had said to Anna was spoken in the universal language, and Jason couldn't help but smile bitterly while the little baby cried to see him go. He turned away from Mike, and his sister, whose eyes were glimmering brightly with the baby girl, Anna in her arms.
Unfolding Artemis' wings, Jason flapped them once, catapulting himself into the air, as he flew straight ahead, without a set destination.
Despite being unsure of where to land, Jason couldn't help but feel excited. Something new was about to be revealed in front of him after all!
During the last few years, he had used almost every single second of his life to become stronger and achieve things nobody thought to be possible, and now that he had some time for himself, Jason couldn't help but smile in relief.
Jason might have had an important task to fulfill, but was it really as important or urgent as he had said?
In the end, he could have asked the Ariyor or Elvyr race to make a quick trip to the other continents and take a look at the immigrant races, their strength, and how threatening their existence could turn to mankind!
However, instead of doing that, now he decided to have some time for himself that was free of mankind's greed and stupidity!
