Chapter 502: Dead?
Jayden and Hecate were flying, although she had again planned to hug him while travelling but since he wanted to move more freely so she had to hold back for now, after they flew around for a few hours Jayden saw that Rakshasa had killed all of the demons, it had fought against eight of them together and came out on top.
Even Jayden wasn’t sure if he could manage to do something like that, even more so when he had become small like this, then he pushed onto the ground and ordered Rakshasa to immediately return back to him.
Since the distance between them was quite big so Jayden decided to move towards the Rakshasa so that he would be able to get his hands on eight new Cores.
This time Hecate hugged Jayden from behind and they just travelled in that posture, though it was probably good that no one was there to see them.
After some time, Jayden saw the red fiend flying towards him with an expression less face, there were no injuries on its body and it still had a little less than half of its energy left, Jayden was once again satisfied with his battle spirit, as he landed on the ground.
” This time again, you did great go back and rest for me now. ” As Jayden spoke the Rakshasa passed a ring to Jayden and then disappeared, checking on the content of the ring Jayden counted eight cores and five corpses of the demons, the Rakshasa must have absorbed the rest of them.
” With this, I would now have seventeen cores, and it won’t be long before I collect the rest of them. ” He mumbled and placed the ring away, then looking at Hecate he spoke:
” I’m going to absorb these cores, don’t disturb me.”
” Absorb them here? ” She asked, they were in the middle of the forest, surrounded by trees from all sides, and demons or beasts could attack them from any side.
” Yes ”
He said and began to float in the air while the eight cores floated right in front of him then he began to absorb them all at the same time, Hecate looked at him from the ground then she used her ring to float to a tree’s branch and sat there, then she just stared at him.
Time passed slowly, there were no demons around, the cores were disappearing one by one and Jayden could feel how the new Energy Centre was being formed and how his strength was increasing.
He floated freely in the air and felt a cool sensation all over his body, after a few hours five of the eight cores had disappeared then he concentrated on the rest of them, Hecate looked a little bored as she just sat there and looked at Jayden.
She looked around and sensed that there were no demons around, she concluded that the red creature that Jayden had sent must have killed them all.
She was also surprised that Jayden was able to kill the Empty beast, though he had somehow turned into a little boy, but what surprised her even more was that she could feel an aura similar to Empty beast coming from Eve.
‘ Just how many things is he hiding? ‘ she thought and continued to observe him.
He continued in silence as two more cores disappeared after some time, then he began to absorb the last core, his body was internally going through a slow transformation as more of the energy he absorbed.
After some time the last core had almost disappeared and his training session was about to end but just then something strange happened.
“!!!”
Jayden’s body suddenly jerked and halted in the air his eyes shot open as his heart was filled with fear, all of a sudden he could no longer feel the presence of any of his family members, Alice, Emma, even the alpha and the others, he could no longer sense their presence at all as if all of them have died at the same time.
” What’s g- going on? No!! ” Without even glancing towards Hecate, Jayden’s powerful aura exploded violently which startled her, making her almost fall off the tree but she didn’t even have the time to speak as Jayden had turned strange.
The aura around him was sharp and began to destroy the area around him, his mind was filled with destructive thoughts, and this feeling was something he could not control.
Turning towards the direction of the 2nd Zone demons he suddenly threw his body forward with as much strength as he could muster, he just wanted to tear the space apart and reach there instantly.
Loud explosions kept sounding as Jayden accelerated in the air, as he moved black light began to emit out of his body, while flying at an incredible speed he kept teleporting forward, trying to reach there as fast as possible.
As he moved, his mind was filled with just one thought:
‘ Faster, Faster, Faster ‘
His internal energy churned crazily, and more and more black light surrounded his body he was using Infernal steps, but pushing his limits to the max Jayden kept increasing his speed.
*BOOM*
Suddenly he broke through to the 3rd Stage of the Infernal Steps, his speed suddenly increased by many times and he threw as much energy as possible to increase his speed further.
*ZRRRRRR*
Small bolts of lightning began to form around his body, air was being torn apart, and then his speed reached a point in which the surrounding trees and ground were being destroyed by him simply passing over them.
He was only able to move at this speed because of the high defences of his body or by now his limbs would have broken and his skin would have been burnt completely, he was like a ray of light as he flew in a straight line, at a speed he has never moved before.
To further increase his speed he was constantly teleporting forward, not caring how much energy he was exhausting his body turned into a black ray of light as he moved forward.
No matter how much he tried he could not feel his connection with any of his family members, which should not have happened unless they all died or something unknown had happened to them.
Jayden’s mind was hurting he could not understand what could have happened to them, he could no longer think straight but had gone into a mad state.
He could not see any of them getting even a little bit hurt but the thought of them all disappearing from his life filled him with emptiness, and rage towards the cause of it, as he moved over the forest the disturbance being created was enough to leave a line of destruction behind him, in such a short time he had travelled hundreds of kilometres and was getting closer to the territory of the 2nd Zone demon.
Anna could not understand just what was happening to him, she kept calling to him but after not getting a response she understood that he could not even hear her voice.
She also tried to sense but couldn’t understand anything even after a couple of minutes.
