Jason was astonished that the young woman was still conscious after the poison spread so far through her body.
Under normal circumstances, the supersonic attack from the songbird that was amplified with its wind affinity should have finished her off,? but that was obviously not the case.
From the looks of it, she was also not the strongest among the group of four.
However, what Jason thought to be extremely weird was how two Peak-Master ranks and two Low-Magus ranks could be defeated so easily after he saw them acting so carefully when the massacre began.
'Did they become too greedy or was my assumption that they were unaffected by the bloody nightmare flower's fragrance and Crimson-death Hell Spider's curse completely wrong?'
Jason had no idea but in the end, it was not important.
The young woman's thank you was already enough for him to think that rescuing them was worth it.
She knew that he wanted to help them from the beginning when he shot an icicle towards them.
In the end, not many would help them in such a dangerous situation, even less someone who was much weaker than they were.
It was astonishing to see that Jason was able to establish a fortified soul conjunction but more shocking was the fact that he remained completely unaffected by everything that happened in the forest's center.
From the bloody nightmare flowers to the Crimson-death Hell spider's appearance whose curse was the reason for the small group's life-threatening situation.
Initially, they wanted to pluck bloody nightmare flowers to earn a huge fortune because they were in high demand because their price increased manifold compared to a few years before!
This was also the reason for them to be unaffected by the flowers' fragrance as they made preparations to counter its effect, only to run straight into one of the strongest beings inside the Mythic Garden.
After the young woman thanked Jason, she finally lost her consciousness, leaving Jason, who was clueless about what to do, alone.
'The most efficient antidotes I have are purified mid-grade-2 potions…Will that be enough to dissolve the poison within their body?' He asked himself unsurely, not knowing whether he could save them for good or if he had to take other measures.
Taking the purified antidotes out of his spatial ring, he infused them to the four unconscious men and women before he injected a little bit of his mana inside them to increase their mana circulation.
If the antidote was potent enough, it would start showing its effect after a short moment, however, if that was not the case, Jason was accelerated the poison's spreading speed right now.
Weirdly enough, the antidote seemed to be as potent as the poison was creating a balanced state.
As such, the situation didn't become better or worse. It was just stagnating.
Unfortunately, the poison had already spread through the young prodigies' whole body which meant that he was too late if he couldn't find another way to help them.
Jason didn't have a stronger antidote left and there was only one method that might help them, which was however something he had never tested out before.
'I can insert the black origin forcefully in their body and cleanse the body from the poison! ...It should be possible...I think…maybe?'
He had never done something like that and was unsure if other bodies would repulse the black origin flame or if it might even worsen the situation.
'If I don't do anything, they'll die either way…!!'
Thinking that he was the only one who could help them, he could only give his best.
If that was not enough, there was no hope left for them!
It was odd, but Jason felt motivated by this thought and he squatted down in front of the youth that was the closest to dying.
Manifesting the black origin flame in his hand, he instructed it, while reminding it to be careful…
With his help and the black origin flame's accurate control, everything should work out as long as they were careful.
At least that was what Jason thought when he inserted the black origin carefully inside the youth in front of him.
He flinched for a short moment before his whole body relaxed which caused Jason's eyes to widen in astonishment because he thought that the youth died.
However, that was fortunately not the case and he was still breathing.
Weirdly enough, his breathing was also much calmer than before!
'Is that the soothing effect of my origin flame? Or does it feel good to have something warm within him right now?'
There were too many unknown factors but there was no time for Jason to ponder about every little detail which caused him to take a deep breath.
Focusing with his mana eyes on the youth's body, Jason was able to see many areas with unstable mana fluctuations and writhing mana which had a high possibility to stem from the poison inside the youth.
As such, Jason lead the black origin flame whose temperature was extremely low through the youth's body while paying attention that nothing changed for the worse.
Everywhere the black origin flame passed through Jason could see an infinitesimal amount of green liquid pouring out of his pores that had been forcefully opened.
Intertwined with the green liquid, the youth's body extracted an infinitesimal amount of impurities which astonished Shane for a short moment before he focused on his main task again.
Less than ten minutes later, he was already done and the youth's skin was filled with a paper-thin layer of green liquid that had tiny traces of impurities within.
Jason was interested in the impurities which the black origin expelled from the youth's body but he had to tend three more poisoned patients.
40 minutes later, Jason slumped on the ground and thick sweat pearls poured down his back that was already completely drenched in sweat.
'Finally done!' He could only think as he stared at the group of four that looked relaxed and at ease.
They were still unconscious but that was probably because they had to recuperate from the exhaustion caused by the poison's damages
It could also originate from their burst eardrums which were however not something Jason was able to tend with his capabilities.
He did everything he could and there was nothing else for him to do.
During his treatment, Jason noticed two things that he found interesting too!
The first one was that his black origin flame was apparently able to cleanse purities from others than himself!
Even if the effect was negligible, Jason was sure that it would be useful in the future.
'Maybe this ability will become stronger after the black origin flame evolves into a Tier-1 Origin flame?'
Jason was already expecting to learn more about his third soulbond and maybe he wouldn't have to rely on Dalia to cleanse his soul bond's body from purities to increase their potential anymore?
This was an uncertain factor and Jason asked himself once again how such a precious origin flame landed on Astrix inside the Goblin King's hideout
'There are still too many things I don't understand!'
While he was deep in thoughts more than half an hour passed, until the young youth he tended first, woke up, exhausted and with drowsy eyes.
However, when he turned around, he suddenly noticed that his female companions were half-naked which washed away his drowsiness in a single moment.
