God's Eyes Chapter 348 - Bloody Nightmare

There was a small cave in the center of the forest with several thousand unique-looking flowers surrounding it.
While the cave didn't look like anything special, Jason could tell that there was something powerful within.
He assumed that there was something gigantic inside the cave, which he could tell from the humongous-sized green color, enveloping a large being.
At least that was what his mana eyes perceived, however, that was not all!
Behind the humongous-sized being, Jason's mana eyes perceived several hundred large, egg-shaped beings that were enveloped by a green hue.
They were most likely stuck to the large being and Jason predicted that they were eggs from the large being that was most likely at the mid/late magical rank.
Thanks to his mana eyes, he was able to perceive that the being had two different transmutations in its mana at the same time.
One of them was probably a poison affinity while the second, affinity it had should be a darkness affinity whose transmutation in mana looked weird to Jason.
He never saw a transmutation like that before and it was complex but also perceptible through the whole forest's center.
This transmutation permeated the whole air around them and Jason was immediately reminded about the cursed panther with its area of effect curse.
Retreating several steps, he could only look at the several thousand flowers around the cave that permeated the air with a distinct fragrance that clouded the senses.
Jason knew this flower, which was known for being very rare and its potency.
The Bloody nightmare flower was a grade-2 flower that clouds one's senses while at the same time releasing attracting all kinds of beings.
Thanks to the latter fact many massacres occurred in the past when humans were drawn to a certain area with several thousand beasts who were also drawn to the flower.
Normally, there would only be a few of these flowers at once and Jason had never heard about several thousand bloody nightmare flowers at the same position which was weird.
The blood nightmare had its name for being the root cause for thousands of bloody massacres for all lower-ranked beings because it was not only hard to understand what was going on, but also to retain clear senses.
Weirdly enough, Jason didn't feel anything and the only thing he noticed was that his mana eyes demanded slightly more mana when he approached the forest.
Furthermore, the black origin flame that was still in his mana core spread through his body with a very low temperature to prevent injuring Jason, which he found weird in the beginning.
Now, however,? did he finally understand why his eyes and the black origin flame acted like this.
They supported him to retain his senses and stay clear-minded!
This made Jason feel much better but at the same time it caused him to wonder how he didn't notice that something was wrong.
'Until the black origin flame acted, I should have noticed something...did my eyes suppress everything? But then...how would my eyes be able to do something like that?'
Jason had no answer but that was not important right now.
His mana eyes perceived that the bloody nightmare flower's fragrance disappeared as if it had never existed.
This happened exactly at the moment when the unknown colossal being inside the cave unleashed the potency of the curse it harbored.
The only thing Jason felt was that emotions like anger and wrath erupted within him which almost caused him to enter a frenzy.
However, before that could happen he inserted more mana inside his mana eyes whose glowing intensified.
His emotions were suppressed and Jason was glad that his mana eyes were very unique and powerful.
They allowed him to control his emotions rather easily as long as it was not as intense as the reminiscence-ceremony from the intelligent foreign races!
Taking a deep breath, only now was he able to see that the center area of the forest was filled with several thousand beasts and more than one hundred human prodigies.
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and filled with wrath, while only he and one particular group remained unaffected.
Jason was interested in the unaffected group and wanted to know how they were able to retain their senses and emotions.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time for him to figure out more about this group because the beasts all around began to attack each other, creating a bloody battlefield.
The average strength was at the peak-Unblemished rank but there were still multiple individuals at the magical rank that slaughtered their way mercilessly through the larger beast groups.
This caused Jason to gulp down his saliva as he noticed that two frenzied beast groups, that were fighting with each other, got closer to him.
As such, he switched the black origin flame that was still inside his mana core out for Artemis in order to manifest her wings on his back.
After that, he soared in the air to look out for a better location to stay.
Jason wanted to take a secure spot on one of the larger tree branches.
Looking up he could see several suitable ones which caused him to approach the closest without hesitation.
However, before he could even come close to the branch, his mana eye's perceived hair-thin threads taut above the forest's center.
If that was everything, Jason wouldn't be worried but these threads had been intertwined with poison transmuted mana, turning them into lethal traps.
Slashing at them with his pseudo-mana-grade-2 light longsword, he was astonished to figure out that he couldn't sever them.
Additionally, they were sticky which forced Jason to use all his strength to separate his longsword with the sticky, poisonous thread.
In the end, he had to use the black origin flame's compressed flame that was extremely hot for several seconds to free his light longsword.
When Jason noticed this, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
'If the cursed, colossal beast inside the cave is not only powerful enough to control the bloody nightmare flowers but is also the being that creates such strong, sticky and poisonous threads to...prevent flying beasts from approaching the forest's center?.... It should be extremely dangerous!!'
Jason couldn't be sure about his assumption but the odds that he was right were high.
He predicted the beast within the cave to be a strong, cursed spider that laid eggs recently and that it required a large amount of food.
Seeing how the spider taut several, hair-thin, but strong and poisonous threads between the large trees, Jason could also assume that there were even stronger flying beasts inside the Mythic Garden!
These flying beasts might as well be weaker, but if that were to be the case, the spider inside the forest center's cave would have taut the threads for a different reason.
Like preventing other beasts from eating the bloody nightmare flowers.
Either way, Jason was sure that he was too weak to do anything and he could only monitor the massacre that occurred below him while sitting down on the branch which he had freed from the spider's threads.
'The next month within the Mythic Garden might be more dangerous and interesting than I expected!'
