"Well, thats two down." Jason sighed. He sat up and flexed his neck a bit. "If either of you feel like you are turning into particles of light, do tell beforehand."
"I don't think we will have ti to tell that. After all, the process seems to be instantaneous." Orion noted.
"I was just joking." Jason stood up and looked at towards the North. "The predators are on the move. Evening will soon go and night will co. We will have to find a shelter before that."
"Preferably a shelter where we don't get infested by monkeys." Amber coughed lightly.
"I guess we can manage that." Jason smiled.
Orion didn't understand what the two of them were talking about. After all, he hadn't been with them during the survival exercise.
'Why am I interested in it in the first place?' he questioned himself. 'I don't need to know about other people's things unless they concern or are of political importance.'
Orion had heard enough non sense in his house that he had alienated himself from such stuff.
If he didn't find anything of interest, he would no longer listen to that. This was a good thing considering how his mother, father and step-father were continuously bickering.
Even when Brian had moved out, Orion hadn't been able to get so rest.
'Focus, bish! You are not getting distracted by such things in the middle of the forest.' Orion scolded himself and tried to empty his mind.
On the other hand, Jason was discussing sothing important with the system.
[ Hestia isn't moving or anything. I tried looking at her directly but so kind of force surrounding the temple repelled . ] The system reported.
'Hmm, we still need to reach Hestia and help her. She did say that once we reach the forest, she will co back. That doesn't seem to be working…'
[ Maybe we have to reach so specific part of the forest? Speaking of that, do you rember that beast which you talked with during the trial of fear? ]
'I do rember that. It also asked to bring Orion and Amber along with .' Jason suddenly paused. 'Both of whom are walking behind .'
[ Sounds like the perfect mont for sothing to go wrong. ]
'Well, you jinxed it. Now sothing will definitely go wrong.'
Jason stopped walking and held up his hand. Orion and Amber watched this with confused expressions as he raised three fingers.
"Three… two… one…" Jason muttered while keeping his eyes open.
Since nothing seed to be happening, he started stretching the count. "Zero point nine… Zero point eight, zero point seven, zero point six, zero point five…"
BOOM!
An explosion suddenly took place beneath their feet, dragging them under the ground. Jason said zero at this mont and used his thunder to get to the surface.
Amber pushed upwards with her fire, using it like a jetpack.
'Great, I am left out once again.' Orion sighed ntally.
The only way he could push himself upwards was by using sothing as a support for his feet. He would channel his mana to his feet and increase his jumping ability.
Using that, he would be able to jump at what soone might call an inhumane level. If he controlled his weight as well, he could almost fly like a bird, except he would have to flap his hands.
'Maybe the chamber of rebirth will reincarnate . Hopefully, it will be in a better place where I won't be left behind.'
Just as Orion was about to get buried under the Earth, he felt sothing wrapping around his arm.
His eyes widened when he saw that Jason had shot a whip made of darkness and had wrapped it around his arm.
Amber too had helped him by bringing a sowhat stable piece of land below his feet. This allowed Jason to grab a hold of him without pulling his shoulder out.
"Orion, maybe try helping us a bit?" Jason raised an eyebrow.
Orion shook his head to clear his thoughts before using his secondary elent, the life elent, to lighten his weight.
The way he did it was by decreasing the force of attraction his body felt. With enough practice, he could suspend himself in air but it couldn't be done instantly.
"Phew." Jason sighed in relief. "You are heavier than you look."
"Can I ask you sothing?" Orion questioned in a low tone.
"Go ahead."
"Why did you both save ?"
"Maybe a thank you in its place would be nice." Amber muttered.
"Or perhaps sothing like "I am grateful for your help" would be nice." Jason mused. "Do we really need a reason to save you?"
"People do things with a reason or so kind of goal in mind. No one just does sothing without a bigger goal." Orion replied with narrowed eyes.
"That's one way to think," Jason muttered. "But sotis, people just do what I want. I don't need a reason or a motive to save soone or kill soone. What I see and what I have understood are the two things I act on.
Nobody has the ti to think of the future during such monts, unless you are an overthinker. Its too much."
Jason couldn't help but rember the ti he had spent on Earth. His thinking had been similar to Orion's.
Once he had reincarnated and had experienced nurous new things, Jason slowly changed. Currently, he could define himself as a handso magnet for trouble who seed to attract all kinds of beings.
"I see…" Orion murmured.
Though he felt weird, Orion could tell that he had just made a breakthrough in the field called developnt.(AN: character developnt ahem.)
"Hmm, we will talk about it back in the real world." Orion said with a confident expression.
"We can talk about it now too." Amber pointed out. Even though her knowledge on the topic, if there was a topic at all, was low, she felt she could add so points as well.
"Nah, I am bursting into particles of light." Orion smiled.
His body suddenly changed to particles of light and flew to the sky before vanishing. Only Jason and Amber remained inside the chamber of rebirth
