"CLOWNS??"
Hearing this, the three young men at the peak-Master rank glared at Jason threateningly.
It looked like they wanted to tear him apart, only to be held back when they remembered that Jason had saved their life.
The blond-haired youth was the youngest in their group of five, but at the same time, he was also considered the most important.
He chuckled for a moment when he heard how Jason called his three team members whom he found within the Mythic Garden.
After that, he turned serious again.
"Hello, my name is Milan Jual and I would like to thank you for helping us out! I'm not sure if we would have come out unscathed without your help!"
Jason nodded his head, seemingly unbothered about Milan hailing from the Jual clan as he said
"That's no problem, I just entered the reclusive area and would have to fight against the thunderstorm horses either way. As such it was beneficial for me too."
'Looking at his appearance and behavior, he should be more amiable than Suo Jual…. But why is he inside the Mythic Garden with such a weird team constellation? Shouldn't he be able to form a stronger team?'
The only acceptable teammate would be the young woman who was able to fight against two Lowest Lique stage beasts that liquefied a few drops of mana.
Meanwhile, the three young men might be strong outside the Mythic Garden, but their lack of real combat experience was evident and rather disadvantageous!
It looked like they focused on increasing their mana core rank for several years without going out to hunt strong beasts.
However, Jason couldn't be sure about that because he was unaware of these young men's past.
Thus, he decided to be blunt as he asked
"Did you five form a team after entering the Mythic Garden?"
Tath Jason asked this question surprised Milan and the rest because it was not something one would ask under normal circ.u.mstances.
The young woman was able to answer the fastest as she said.
"We met on the way to the reclusive area and decided to team up!"
'What does he want from me?'
Milan noticed that Jason was powerful, despite being at a lower mana core rank than all of them had!
His combat awareness and the black flame's strength were superior.
Adding the fact that his mana core was sealed to an almost perfect degree indicated to Milan that Jason might be the perfect 6th member of their group.
"I was separated from my group because we encountered a boneflame centipede… I'm just glad that I survived that! It might be sudden, but if you want to join our team, we could need your strength!"
Jason was wondering why Milan wanted him in his team when he heard his offer and it could have been because he saved them and that they lacked more combat strength.
However, on the other side, there was also the possibility that he could betray them.
'Wait! If they're a newly formed team, everyone might betray each other at some point... A single valuable treasure might be enough to wreak havoc among their team's trust!'
He never had the intention to join a team from the beginning which caused him to shake his head as he said
"I'm not a team player and I might reduce your combat prowess by jumping straight into the fray, obstructing you guys in some way!"
Milan nodded his head understanding that he shouldn't try to coax Jason into joining their team if he was against it from the beginning.
It might create a bad balance between all members and Milan couldn't help but sigh.
"If there is something else we can help you with, just ask! We have to thank you for saving our lives..or at least saving us from receiving serious injuries!"
The three young men who glared at Jason before nodded their heads reluctantly, thinking that the young masked man was their live savior.
As such, they owed him a favor, which was also what the young woman thought.
She knew that it would have been unfavorable for her if Milan were to be a little bit later to support her in fighting against the thunderstorm horses with liquefied mana drops in their mana core.
When Jason heard this, he remembered a few beasts which he saw in the handwritten book about the Mythic Garden.
"In that case, do you know where the dead-eye centipedes' habitat is?"
Jason was unsure what to think about Milan because he hailed from the Jual clan, but it didn't look like he was a bad guy.
He was still hesitant to let new people close to him since the incident with Old Drake, but Jason was also aware that Old Drake was much older than most humans.
With that in mind, he also saw more than most people would ever do in their life and this might have changed his behavior slowly.
Milan looked like a bright guy, which might be because of his refined body that released a faint light affinity aura.
When the small group Jason helped out heard his question they were a little bit dumbfounded. One of the three young men at the peak-Master rank couldn't help but ask
"What do you want from Dead-eye centipedes? They're blind and beasts between the Awakened and Unblemished rank! Their curse might weaken someone a little bit but their corpse is worthless compared to other beasts inside the Mythic Garden. They don't even have an affinity to make them valuable as a soulbond either!"
Jason smiled behind his mask when he saw their reaction and the young man's words were certainly true.
However, the Dead-eye centipedes' curse was something he wanted to investigate. Their curse was similar to being weakened. Some stories within the handwritten book about the Mythic Garden were about the dead-eye centipede's curse weakening someone's entire being which would have been the same as the cursed panther Jason saw before.
Yet, other stories about the same curse written in the book told that only the soul would be cursed and not the entire being.
The latter was more interesting to Jason because he was searching for a soul world curse and not a curse that would weaken his entire being.
He didn't want to see his entire soul world being weakened, but if the worst case scenario would occur, it was better than nothing.
At least he wouldn't receive any major disadvantages through that.
Maybe his soul world would decrease in size, but that was not really something Jason was afraid of.
His soul world was still increasing in size with each additional soul energy unit Jason obtained, thus he was confident that seeing his soul world being cursed wouldn't be the worst.
Milan, who pondered for a moment after hearing his question couldn't help but wonder why Jason wanted to find the dead-eye centipedes.
'He might be one of those weird freaks who wants to bind a cursed being to see if these curses can be transferred to other….or he knows about the mana vein!!'
The latter option was more likely and Milan decided to be straightforward again
"Don't put it wrong, but we will enter the Dead-eye centipedes' territory. There is a small mana vein below the area their habitat should be, which you might already be aware of! I don't want to push you into joining our team but it would be better for either of us if you join us. Alone, you won't be able to find the Mana vein!
Furthermore, this year the small mana vein should resurface!
This is something that hadn't happened for a few years where it had only been partially revealed.
I don't know if you understand the dangers of the Mythic Garden well, but I think if you saw it to a certain extent, you should be able to imagine how the area around a resurfaced mana vein should look like…
The surface will be flooded by the strongest beings within the reclusive area.
Furthermore, I doubt that we are the only ones who want to gain benefits from the mythic vein too!"
When Milan finished his short speech, Jason couldn't help but mumble in confusion.
"There is a mana vein where the Dead-eye centipedes' habitat is? Why am I so unlucky...."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but eye Jason, who was still wearing the pitch-black mask weirdly and their thought was in unison
'How is that unlucky???'
