Chapter 730: Fight of Instincts

His brain abandoned all of the rational thoughts, as he was consumed with nothing but the thought of killing the peasant that had dared to cut off his leg.

Jason had yet to truly realise what had happened, but his mind had shut off before the pain could course through his entire body.

That was why he had suddenly entered a state that was solely operated by his primal instincts, and nothing else.

Crimson red eyes and a bloody red aura that held faint strands of a golden-silverish color replaced his earlier calm personality. Jason's entire demeanor and appearance had radically transformed within the blink of an eye.

The transformation was still underway as Petri's fusion, which Jason had activated since the beginning of the battle, began to intensify.

Amplified by Petri's ferocious nature, and the fact that the basilisk was the king of serpents, who couldn't stomach accepting defeat by any being, let alone the Cyclops in front of them, their rages fueled each other.

Through this, their connection intensified, and the armor of scales was growing thicker and bigger.

At the same time, Jason's reptilian eyes were piercing through the Cyclops whose face was also splattered with Jason's blood.

Seeing his own blood, Jason, who was already filled with wrath, couldn't help but switch off the logical part of his brain as the tremendous tidal waves of energy swept through his body.

After releasing one of the major seals, which the Chaos Emperor had laid on his Celestia bloodline, Jason's human blood was slowly being overpowered by the Celestia bloodline.

Yet, owing to his rage and wrath, his human half was feeling murderously angry and it only intensified further to see that the Cyclops was still alive and breathing. Wanting to end its life as soon as possible his aura flared up, sweeping through his body before being released, followed up by the activated stigma which forced the released energy to be overwhelmed and subdued in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, the released chaos energy was forcefully restricted, prevented from leaving his body, and channelised towards his eyes, where it was annexed without Jason realising.

Before Jason had hoped that the chaos energy, which he had absorbed after the short encounter with the Preactors, would be enough to defeat the Cyclops, but unfortunately, it hadn't been enough!

That was not because it had been too little, but rather because the Cyclops had been enveloped by a thin energy layer that didn't seem to belong to it, in the first place.

It prevented Jason from making use of his chaos attribute, and Emperor Eyes like usual, severely restricting his capabilities!

Nevertheless, now that the chaos energy he had was manifold higher, even the thin, protective energy layer around the cyclops crumbled in front of Jason's wrath. This combined the chaos energy with his abyssal effect, creating a much stronger force than Jason had ever released.

It used up the entire chaos energy Jason had just released, but before the Cyclops was able to make a single move, it had already entered the depths of the endless void of darkness.

In the end, the abyssal effect only worked for a very short moment, but that was because the Cyclops' Spiral cultivation was also at the Peak of the first threshold of the Prismar stage.

At the same time, the thin energy layer had been stronger than Jason estimated before his mind had gone blank.

Nevertheless, the short moment had been more than enough for Jason, whose body was tearing apart due to the tremendous tidal waves of energy, to appear in front of the Cyclops, barely a moment later.

It was as if he had been magically teleported before he emerged in front of the seven-meter-tall opponent, only for half a meter long claws to grow out of his knuckles, with a rapid speed almost as if they had already been prepared within his forearm.

Without thinking twice, Jason allowed Petri's fangs to grow out of his knuckles.

This was painful, but so was every single movement he made under the pressure of the enormous energy he was forced to release, in order to survive.

He had already lost a leg and Jason wanted to do nothing but kill the Cyclops, filling his entire being with rage.

The thought of turning into an Infernal Celestia didn't even cross his mind, and Jason simply let go of his emotions, releasing everything at once.

This enlarged the aura he was already releasing while his stigma began to glow in an even brighter light as the energy coursing through his body was slowly forced to obey his instructions.

His body was being invigorated by the unsealed Celestia bloodline through the sheer mass of divine energy provided which was still slowly spreading through his body. It was strengthening Jason's physique, and the amount was so high and the energy so rich that the surplus was free for Jason to dispose of.

As such, he inserted every single trace of energy that had been used to maintain the major seal into Petri's fangs that had grown out of the knuckles on the back of his hands.

All of this happened while the Cyclops was still reeling from the after-effects of his abyssal effect. It had barely begun to regain its senses, only to see that Jason, or rather, the being it assumed to have been Jason, pierced both of its hands in its one and only eye.

Unable to move fast enough, the Cyclops could only release the remaining reserves of its three energies at once.

Yet, contrary to its belief that Jason was still too weak to break through its defenses, the Cyclops comprehended that Jason's attack was completely different than before but it was too late.

The energy of the Chaos emperor got intertwined with the chaos attribute, slowly weakening the Cyclops' defenses.

Piercing Petri's fangs deep into the Cyclops' eye, Jason roared out, over-exerting his aura that had turned completely crimson in color while his eyes were slowly starting to glow in a blood-red hue.

Meanwhile, his entire wrath was channelized in his attack, through which it became stronger and stronger, only for Jason's body to become weaker by the second.

The blood loss he suffered was tremendous, yet, Jason didn't even realise anything because the adrenaline that spread through his body was numbing everything else.

Only when Petri's claws pierced through the Cyclops' eye did he slowly realise that something was off because his body was faltering all of a sudden.

Looking down, he immediately realised what was going on, which made him force the calmed down energy that coursed through his body, to seal off the bleeding from his leg, without a second of hesitation.

Somehow, Jason should have been devastated right now, but after the initial rage, he had become eerily calm as if he knew something others were oblivious to.

His entire body ached due to the tidal waves of energy that had almost torn him apart before, yet he had no time to think about the pain as he had to take care of his opponent.

With his hands deep inside the head of the Cyclops, Jason didn't even have to think about what he was going to do next.

A searing hot flame emerged around his arms and Petri's claws, rapidly spreading through the Cyclops' head.

Yet, instead of waiting for everything to end naturally, Jason released a tremendous amount of mana, to flare up Solaris' flame.

This caused the Cyclops to succumb to its inevitable fate as its head exploded, brain matter splattering through the surroundings.

With the death of the Cyclops the fight was over, and only a moment after, Jason fell to the ground, where he collapsed, deprived of the energy to continue fighting as his wrath was used up completely.

His aura and everything that had forcefully changed retracted, while the deep cut on leg continued bleeding.

Jason could only see how the part of his body that had been cut off disintegrated into countless particles before he fainted, falling right into the portal that was next to them, only to hear the artificial intelligence's voice faintly.
