Chapter 62: Aftermath

When Jason and Malia left the store supporting each other, Jason felt a draft next to him.

Gabriella and Mark appeared in front of Malia scanning her from head to toe.

"Oh, my baby!!! Are you fine? Does it hurt somewhere? Drink this healing reagent and let me take a look" Gabriella was extremely worried and Malia tried to calm down her mother, while Jason felt like an extra.

He walked away because he didn't want to interrupt them while he dragged his injured leg with him.

His body was still filled with adrenaline and his heart thumbed loudly when he helped Greg to pick up the beast corpses they killed.

It was a common rule that the hunters had the right on their prey's corpse and whoever snatched it would be treated as immoral.

This was not a law but most people would stick to this rule, however, there are always desperate people trying to gain some extra credits because of their debt or ignorance.

Jason's leg ached a lot and he decided to drink a grade-1 healing reagent but it was still kinda painful.

When they were almost finished collecting the tiny two-headed amber lions body parts, Greg saw Jasons leg for the first time and his eyes widened, a shocked expression was apparent on his face.

"Yoo... J-Jason are you fine? You're sure that you won't bleed to death??.. Lets go to mom, she can heal you?!?!"

"I'm fi...n" Jason said when a sudden pain caused him to grit his teeth .. his sight blurred and his legs gave in, darkness enveloping him.

"Jason!!!. MOOOOM!!" Gabriella was still worried about her daughter when she heard Gregs voice, turning around she saw Greg holding up a blood-drained Jason with a large amount of blood below him creating a small puddle.

"OH no!" Gabriella cried out and she appeared next to Jason while a tiny plant with thick but smooth vines, appeared on her left hand.

Sprouting its smooth vines around Jason's leg, a calming sensation spread through them, and one could smell a herbal aroma spreading from the vines.

If Jason's mana eyes were activated, he would be able to see healing magic for his first time.

Gabriella's first soulbond was a plant-type evolved ranked beast with a strong healing ability, which was rarely seen.

But the effect wasn't strong enough for Jason to regain his lost blood and she took out two different types of bottles.

Peak Grade-2 Healing reagent to prevent Jason from losing more blood and regaining some vigor.

Grade-1 blood formation reagent to strengthen Jason's blood and increase his blood-regeneration.

The blood formation reagent was only a grade-1 potion because Jason couldn't handle the effects of the grade-2 reagent and furthermore, Gabriella and Mark didn't have a grade-2 blood formation reagent, to begin with, because it had to be made out of blood essence from rare beasts.

Jasons face regained some color but he was still not able to regain his consciousness.

*Hours later*

Jason wasn't sure when he woke up but he felt refreshed and full of vigor when he opened up his eyes.

He could see a large bedroom with expensive furniture around him and wondered where he was.

Sitting up, Jason straightened his back and he felt still slightly exhausted when Artemis appeared in front of him within the familiar white magic circle.

Crying out with worry and joy, she threw herself in his embrace.

The whole beast tide, Jason forced her to stay within the soul world and she was extremely worried about him the whole time, but she would hinder Jason more than helping him during the beast tide, which frustrated her...

Artemis could feel that Jason's injury was fully healed, but she was still slightly worried bout his well-being

Jason wanted to stay up while holding Artemis but he felt that his left leg felt slightly numb and was more difficult to move when he remembered his leg injury.

Pulling down his pants, he saw that there wasnt even a scrab, where he was previously injured, which wondered him.

There was also no pain anymore but the numb feeling was still uncomfortable.

Jason dragged himself out of the room and he entered the living room where he was greeted by the Fler's.

He was happy to see them fine and even Malia looked completely fine without the wolf blood on her face.

Apparently, only Jason was seriously injured by the gate and pierced by a sharp part of the torn gate.

If Malia or Greg were hit by the sharp part of the gate, they wouldn't be as seriously injured as Jason, because their physique was much tougher and more resistant than Jasons but that wasnt exceptionally hard to accomplish

Even if Jason felt much stronger than two months ago his strength was still at the bottom of the chain and almost everything could kill him.

Mark heard Jason as first and he looked at him, asking

"Hey little one, are you fine?" before he unwillingly added "You did a good job, thank you for saving my precious daughter"

Malia had told her parents what happened and both were grateful for Jason.

Mark wasn't especially fond of Jason but he made extra points with his action today.

Gabriella, Greg, and Malia stood up simultaneously and surrounded Jason, asking him about his injury, if it hurt, if he felt extremely numb, tired and so on.

Jason answered the questions and sat down with Artemis still in his arm, when he asked the question he was the most curious about.

"How bad is the situation in Jiro-City? Why did the Beast tide occur and how many casualties did we suffer?"

Jason wasn't a pessimist or optimist and facts spoke more words than anything else but he hoped that the situation in Jiro wasn't as bad as he imagined when the beast tide occurred.

Mark opened the news and read the statistics before he answered Jason

"Overall the beast tide was mainly made up by evolved and unblemished beasts while a few hundred magical beasts appeared.

The worst however was the appearance of a small Guardian beast minotaur tribe...they tore down the city wall and devastated the outer districts and we could only stall them.

Not a single one of them were killed and they entered the noble district without caring about our attacks.

Even though a few of our Grandmagus attacked them, the minotaur's innate magic resistance is exceptional and they pushed us back with their physical strength.

Fortunately for us and Jiro city was that rather than doing a killing-spree, they retreated after getting back what once belonged to them.

It was only then when two of the berserk minotaurs calmed down and left without looking back.

If you want to know the answer to why this beast tide occurred, this should be relatively easy when you know the characteristics of beasts.

There are only two ways to cause a relative intelligent race, minotaurs to be precise, at the Guardian rank to go into its berserk mode where it loses almost all reasonings.

1) Mana overdraft

2) Upcoming annihilation

3) Cub abduction

In my opinion, it's the third reason and one of the nobles in Jiro-City probably stole a cub that was taken back by the Minotaur tribe.

It is already extremely fortunate for these nobles to be still alive but the ones who had to pay the price were the citizens of Jiro-City.

More than one million deaths are already noted and there are still many more missing.

About the situation in Jiro-City? The citizens are scared and panicking while the government tries to calm down the masses as well as possible.

Looking at the streets and devastated districts with the destroyed buildings, including reinforced skyscrapers caused by the minotaurs' physical enhanced charges.the materialistic loss is extremely high.

Im glad that all of you survived and it's fortunate that you only sustained a "small injury".

Considering your weak physique and mana core rank it is already good that you survived the beast tide.

To be honest it's quite shameful to get informed that over 1 million people died This beast tide was made up of a few million beasts, but most humans are higher ranked and at least at the Expert rank, and its illogical that they died without being able to defend themselves

While these citizens died, the military acted too slow and caused too many flying beasts to enter the city..

Concluding everything its dogs**t what happened here.F**k"

Jason listened carefully to Mark and he was rational talking about the whole situation until the end and with his last sentence he erupted and a small sound wave caused everyone's hairs to blowback while their ears hurt.

"HONEY!!!! WHAT DID I TELL YOU? CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS!!" Gabriella could only shout because she couldn't hear anything and the whole situation turned quite awkward.

The one who was the most hurt, was Artemis and she cried out and entered Jasons soul world after glaring at Mark.
