Chapter 291 Disposing trash

Once the Dragon mother roared out in anguish, the other Earth Dragons joined, which intensified everything and worsened Till's already sour mood further.

Not wasting any more time, he picked up Seron before he walked out of the Earth Dragon lair, without looking back another time.

Till only stopped his steps when he reached the door separating the tunnel they walked through with the Earth Dragon territory.

Waiting for Jason, who followed Till because he also didn't want to endure something similar to the reminiscence-ceremony another time.

Still, even if they were only shortly exposed to the Dragons' cry of anguish, Jason felt somewhat bad for them as they were imprisoned and their children were deprived which was a bad combination.

However, without being able to change something, he would rather think about himself first before doing anything impossible.

Thus, his train of thoughts subconsciously averted towards his mother because the scenarios with the Earth Dragon mother being forcefully separated from her offspring was similar to his case.

It was the other way around and his mother was killed, but it felt somewhat similar to Jason, who thought the first time for a long time about his mother.

Being busy was on one side helpful in order to avert his attention from bad memories but on the other side, it was also disadvantageous because he began to forget small things about her, such as how her voice sounded and what they did together.

In the end, he was still blind when he lost her, and he never saw her through his own eyes.

The only thing he had was a picture of her.

She was gorgeous, had a slender figure and long black hair, but the most important was that Jason saw her eye color for the first time when he regained his eyesight, which was one of the things he was the most curious about.

While his eyes had a distinct golden color, his mother's eyes were azure-blue with a light silver strand in them which was a rare color for normal mana eyes, which Jason figured out after talking with Shane and Dalia about his unique eyes.

Apparently, mana eyes didn't have an innate color per se because of their many grades and different mutations.

However, most 'common' mana eyes are said to be dark-blue while 'rare' mana eyes are said to be azure-colored.

Even so, this didn't really help Jason and he could only comprehend that his mother's eyes were similarly unique to his, which was however even more confusing to him.

Gnashing his teeth, he couldn't help but think 'How did she even die with such special eyes...she should have been at a higher rank than I am currently at and would definitely be able to figure out if someone were to attack her, by reading their mana fluctuations?!'

Everything seemed illogical and Jason was unable to understand how she died and he only remembered that she had always been weak since he was young.

At least, that was how she sounded.

With this, he could only think that there had to be something else she never told him and there were definitely a few missing pieces that hindered him in understanding the whole big picture.

'What am I missing?!'

Jason asked himself while following Till who carried Seron on his back.

However, in the end, his mother was dead and he didn't really know anything about his father, who was presumed to be from the Celestia race.

'What bullsh*t' Jason almost shouted out loud, barely being able to hold it inside, as a question he always wanted to get the answer formed in his mind.

'Why is everything so complicated?! Who the hell is my father and why did they separate? Even if I'm half Celestia, they're just strangers to me! Should I search for my father and interrogate him?!... But...what would that bring?'

Tormenting himself with his train of thought, Jason couldn't help but feel frustrated and sad, as he continued to curse his mother's killer inwardly which he already did several million times over the last six years since she was killed.

'I will definitely find you, even if I have to turn the world upside down!!'

Filled with anger, Jason initially wanted to remain in his own train of thoughts, when Till suddenly said.

"Jason, thanks for helping Seron today!

Let me tell you this. If Shane, because of whatever reason, can't come, I'll try to take care of everything, alright?

"

Trying to take care of his emotions, he could only nod thankfully by Till's words because he genuinely seemed to care about him.

However, Jason doubted that this would also be the case if he were to tell him that he might be a halfling from another foreign race, considering that Till's wrath towards the foreign races seemed deep.

'Did he lose someone to the foreign races?' Looking at Till in pity, whose expression only showed calmness after he took off the gas mask but Jason perceived something else in his eyes which was similar to the time when the reminiscence-ceremony invaded them, forcing their suppressed emotions out.

Sighing deeply, Jason thought that everyone had their own nemesis and bad memories.

While Till seemed to hate all foreign races without distinguishing between them, Jason noticed that he was also not really different because he had an extremely bad prejudice against the big families and prosperous families.

In the end, both Till and his attitude might be wrong, but they were still eligible because humanity never met kind and peaceful foreign races, if Jason's knowledge was not wrong, while his prejudice changed only slightly thanks to Till who hailed from one of the big clans.

He was also unsure about Seron because he was loyal and kind under normal circumstances but emotionally unstable and at the same time naive, and trusted everyone.

Thus it was not difficult to manipulate him.

At least, that was how he thought of Seron and he might be wrong, but from the last months they were together, it became only more apparent that Seron was exactly how he imagined him to be.

Seron's envy and jealousy when he could walk towards the Earth Dragons unhindered was also another evidence for his assumption and Jason could only shake his head at that.

Till noticed that Jason was not in the best mood and he felt exactly the same which caused both to remain silent until they finally reached the shaft, which lead them outside the narrow tunnel.

Looking at the being inside the mana vein for a long time, Jason couldn't help but feel intimidated because his gut feeling told him that this beast was even stronger than the Shadow walker, Yrael which was the strongest being he got to know until now.

Inside the shaft, the elevator inside ascended slowly, and nobody said anything at all, as the two remained in their own thoughts while Seron was still unconscious.

Now that he finished helping Seron with his second soulbond, Jason wanted to meet up with Shane and in the best case bid farewell to the Fler's before parting ways.

There was also something else he was adamant to do, but this could wait until he met the Fler family.

However, before Jason could even continue with this thought, he sensed that the space around them began to twist as a spatial portal opened a few meters above them through which Shane emerged.

Descending on the moving ascending platform Jason and Till stood, both immediately noticed that something happened as they saw Shane's expression that was extremely bad.

Before Jason could even say something, Shane approached him with a faint smile.

"Hey Jason, it's good to see that you're fine! Sorry that it took so long, but I had to dispose of some trash before coming.

"
