"They're pretty young, aren't they? Probably younger than we are!" Jennifer mumbled while looking at the youth Jason was still holding.
Jason couldn't help but feel that this was a little bit shocking, but when he gave it some thought, it was pretty easy to decipher the situation.
It was an easy guess if he were to consider the strong cultivation energies inside the Ninad beast realm and the fact that the young man's combat prowess was not exactly high.
Firstly, their race was likely to belong to one of the stronger ones, probably a higher, or even Grand race.
This indicated that they had a strong cultivation technique and a high innate talent.
At the same time, however, they had been sheltered all their life which made them perceive the silent alarm first.
This made the two youths, who didn't have much combat experience, feel like playing the heroes.
Thus, on noticing a likely foe, they hastily jumped to conclusions and made them act recklessly.
That was the simplest explanation Jason could figure out by looking at the youth who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
He was confused as to why he was not twitching or acting up like almost everyone else he had attacked with the abyssal effect and his two curses.
After thinking about it for a while, there were only two assumptions he could come up with.
First was that the youth's mind resisted his mental attacks owing to his cultivation.
His second guess was that his own mind didn't want to hurt the youth, but only send him to sleep to avoid the emergence of the wandering soul.
Not sure about the correct answer, he could only continue to look at the young man.
Once he descended to the ground, he dispelled Artemis' wings.
A moment later, he arrived next to the other youth that was screaming in pain.
Placing the youth he was holding on the ground, he took a look at the other one.
"Don't move so much if you don't want to feel more pain!" He simply instructed the nervous youth.
Then Jason circulated the remains of his divine energy and moonlight transmuted mana through his hand before he held it close to the youth's broken collarbone.
This was already enough to help the youth relax when he realized that Jason wasn't harming him.
It released the tension within the youth as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Why…are you healing me?"
The moment he asked this, he could see his friend's pale face whose eyes were closed.
This caused him to assume that his friend had died, but he sagged in relief when he saw his chest was moving as if he was asleep.
With a light frown on his face, the youth returned his attention back to Jason, only to look at Jennifer and her two sets of wings.
His curiosity was piqued to notice that one of them was white-feathered, and another one was black in color. It was made of a material that looked like leather, instead of feathers.
While trying to size her up, the youth felt momentarily incapable of understanding what was going on.
He had heard too many rumors about the world outside the Ninad beast realm.
One such rumor was that nobody except descendants of Primal humans, or those with a distinct heritage were able to enter it.
However, was that really the truth, or was the young woman who looked at him with conflicted emotions, not an infiltrator of their realm?
Before he was even able to answer his question, Jason slapped the youth's shoulder after he had gotten up from the ground, telling him that he was done before he got up.
"You can fly by yourself, right?" Jason asked while picking up the other youth with one arm.
Hanging onto Jason's arm for support, the youth continued to sleep.
It caused the other one to look at Jason in confusion.
But he nodded his head vigorously the moment the man with the golden eyes made a move towards him.
He realized that Jason was about to carry him around like his friend.
"I can fly, yes!!" He hastily shouted out before getting up from the ground.
Only then did he notice that his collarbone hurt much less, while Jason's complexion had turned a little bit paler than before.
Seeing that the youth was fine, Jason flew into the air, followed by Jennifer.
The direction they targeted was the settlement, which they flew towards without any hesitation and the fact astonished the youth.
'Are they not afraid that the others will attack them just like we did?'
Confused, he continued to lay on the ground for a few seconds, only to shake his head when he realized what he was doing right now.
Charging up to Jason and Jennifer, he was just about to warn them about the few people who would possibly attack them.
This was his way of saying thank you to Jason for not killing him and his friend.
But before words left his mouth, the few people he wanted to warn Jason about had emerged in front of them.
Jason had perceived that large streams of mana fluctuations had gathered in front of them high in the air, which caused him to halt in his tracks shortly after they had ascended.
Jennifer stopped next to him, worried about what might happen, but seeing Jason's sudden confidence, she was both confused and a little reassured at the same time.
Thus, they awaited the appearance of someone, who would emerge out of the spatial portal that had manifested near them.
Looking at the portal, Jason saw three humans at the Specta stage emerge from it.
Two of them were humans of the new race he had no idea about.
Meanwhile, the other one was a human from Argos with the spatial affinity he controlled easily.
They directly looked at Jennifer with a faint frown on their face, before they averted their attention to Jason, whose golden eyes and Celestia aura piqued their interest.
However, what was more surprising was the fact that he held one of their descendants in one arm, hanging down like a towel on a pole.
This caused their frown to deepen, and they were about to react before they heard an overly familiar voice from behind Jason,
"Please wait for me!!"
It was the youth, whom they had ignored while flying towards the shelter because they knew that he was fine after having been healed by Jason.
Hearing the familiar voice, the few young men halted in their tracks as the youth spotted the three of them. This caused him to let out a dissatisfied groan, "Urgh…".
After this, he emerged next to Jason before bowing politely as he mumbled,
"Hello…Dad…what are you doing here?"
Having wanted to warn Jason in order to thank him, it looked like the entire situation would become much more complicated than it had been before.
As such, the youth could only scratch the back of his head, only to notice that his collarbone was still hurting.
Owing to this, he winced in pain which the youth's father noticed.
He immediately approached his son while ignoring Jason and Jennifer.
At the same time, the other man used the mysterious energy to envelop the other youth with it, pulling him away from Jason.
Jason made no effort to stop the youth's father, knowing that he would have to explain a lot, only to hear the human with the spatial affinity ask.
"What is a halfling doing here? And why can I sense divine energy radiating from you, and how come that divine energy entered the body of Jan and Niles? You are definitely a human, but I doubt you are from Argos, or a Yinar?
The first question was directed at Jennifer, who had already retracted her wings.
But that did little to hide her darkness and light affinity which she had released earlier followed by her energy fluctuations.
Still, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit stupified, thinking that the middle-aged man with blonde hair and a broad physique was too fast in figuring out everything.
After all, the middle-aged man had only released his mana fluctuations to spread it in a small radius of a few meters for a few seconds.
"I…think I have to explain a lot, right?"
"They're pretty young, aren't they? Probably younger than we are!" Jennifer mumbled while looking at the youth Jason was still holding.
