Around three weeks passed while everybody was actively searching for the best location to build their shelter in addition to all the necessary defensive mechanisms.
During that time, Jason and the others not only searched for a suitable location to build the shelter, but also to find the Sacred beast.
That was even more important after he had been informed about the reluctance of the Mewi villagers to leave their old homes once a good location to hide was found.
They didn't trust his words about the Oceanfolk, even after the tribe chiefs were trying their best to convince them.
Contrary to Jason's expectations the tribe chiefs seemed to be more helpful than expected. Thus, after the option of shifting their entire village to a secure location had been rejected by the Mewi villagers, they switched to start an arduous training that every single Mewi had to undergo.
This included the young Mewi too, though Jason was unsure of how much it would help.
However, at the same time, it was not entirely useless either because the young Mewi would become a little bit stronger to face the worst possible scenario of them being attacked. The rigorous training would make them bone-tired which would leave them with no energy to argue over the topic of relocation!
As such, Jason didn't say anything about the way the tribe chiefs acted, because he was pleased about that.
Rather, he felt that finding the Sacred beast was much more important than he initially thought because the Mewi seemed to be more religious and trusting towards their Gods than first expected.
With that in mind, he had searched for the Sacred beast while finding a suitable location to build their shelter.
Because of that, three weeks passed before he toured through the entire valley.
It took much longer than expected, but Jason was glad that the Oceanfolk had yet to attack.
That relief allowed him to continue searching for the Sacred beast, even if he was not sure that it was even alive, let alone what kind of existence the Sacred beast was.
Using his Emperor Eyes, he was able to see all kinds of beasts during the last few weeks and Jason hoped that the Sacred beast would be some kind of strong existence.
Apparently, that was important because the stronger the vessel, the stronger the Gods' blessings, according to the tribe chiefs.
Initially, Jason didn't bother about the Sacred beast's strength as long as it was able to tell him the date of the Oceanfolk's attack.
Yet, if it wasn't strong, it would quickly be killed by other beasts that sensed the gains they could receive from killing and devouring the Sacred beasts.
After three weeks of having found nothing, Jason was glad that some of the villagers, who had been sent out to find a proper place to build a shelter, returned with good news!
This was great and made many things easier for Jason, who didn't have to search for a good location anymore.
Unfortunately, before he could even express his happiness, he was dragged out of his thoughts as he heard a loud screeching from above him.
Raising his head, he placed a hand on his eyes to get a better look yet could bȧrėly see the outlines of a three-headed vulture.
What was worse is that it wasn't alone and several other one or two-headed vultures were diving down towards him.
Releasing strong wind, and thunder currents, along with hot searing flames, the deadly beasts were making a beeline for Jason who couldn't help but stare at them in shock.
It had been a long time since he saw a beast with three elemental affinities.
Yet, instead of putting up his defenses, Jason simply moved aside, feeling that they wouldn't attack him.
As expected they didn't really care about him and their gaze was glued to a particular location not far from them.
Somehow, this made Jason curious, which caused him to look in the same direction.
After he inserted faint traces of mana in his Emperor Eyes, they began to gleam lightly, allowing Jason to see something deep inside a tree that shocked him.
'A blessed beast!!'
Glowing in a bright light, a small beast was inside the tree. He was staring at the beast whose light was strong enough to make others believe that the blessed beast wanted to be found.
Yet, Jason knew that the blessed beast was simply unable to cope with the blessings it seemed to have received not too long ago.
With that in mind, Jason couldn't help but let Solaris enter his body.
A moment later, black flames enveloped his body, and he began to dive towards the Vultures, whose target was the Mewi's Sacred beast.
Having found the beast he was looking for, Jason wouldn't let it die.
It had only weak energy fluctuations but that was not something he could be bothered about right now.
If the Sacred beast died, everything would be several times more difficult than it already was, and Jason didn't want to add more to his pile of issues.
As such, he ignored everything else as the sole of his boots were tightly enveloped by Solaris' flames that flared up in an instant.
By being boosted in the direction of the Vultures, he accelerated to a speed that was higher than theirs.
Because of that, he reached the slowest Vulture within an instant, which allowed him to grasp it.
Yet, instead of taking out Byakur or any other weapon, Jason used his physical strength and Solaris' flames in order to burn through the Vulture while breaking its neck.
The feeling was disgusting, but he hadn't killed a beast for the first time.
This was something that had already happened years ago.
As such, Jason was easily able to avert his focus and approach the next Vulture.
Reaching it, he killed it without any hesitation, while ignoring the electric currents and wind that were used to increase the Vulture's speed.
Solaris' flames tore through their flesh and bones before Jason broke their necks using his high physical strength.
Thus, Jason had to face all the Vultures at the same time, or so he thought.
A sudden idea manifested in his mind, and without hesitation, Jason created two large fireballs below his boots.
They exploded with a loud crack, further propelling Jason towards the ground, which was only 50 meters away.
Meanwhile, the three-headed Vulture was already a little bit closer.
Yet, instead of retreating back, Jason replaced Solaris with Artemis inside his mana core, before fusing with her.
At the same time, he activated the petrification curse with which he targeted all Vultures but used the race specific weakening curse on the three-headed Vulture.
This slowed them down, while severely weakening Jason, who had used up a large margin of the mana he had stored.
While they were slowed down, his fusion with Artemis was completed, allowing Jason to make proper use of the moonlight affinity which he used to activate with the rest of his mana.
Circulating the moonlight affinity transmuted mana through his body, while exerting the Floating Sky movement technique, Jason reached the ground within a moment.
Swiftly changing his direction, he didn't even have to think twice about what he would do.
Instead, he pushed himself from the ground using his entire physical strength in order to reach the tree that was near him.
Due to this, the ground below him burst open, but Jason couldn't care less about that.
Rather, he overexerted his mana core and forcefully used the surroundings mana in order to erect a wall of ice between the Vultures and the tree the Sacred beast was in.
This made his mana veins and mana core ache as it was not healthy for them to utilize unannexed and unrestrained mana with an affinity.
However, ignoring the pain, Jason appeared right in front of the tree he had targeted, only to forcefully halt for a second as he grasped the small, squirming beast.
"Sorry for the inconvenience!"
