Chapter 183: The Desire For Revenge
After Jason finally managed to get the Elixir of Life and resurrect Gina, Jason was going to go and handle the third thing he needed to deal with: Jason was going to kill the Sovereign and everyone involved with him.
The civil war on Radagan was not Jason’s fight. Jason hadn’t cared enough about it to go and risk his life fighting for that world. Even though he cared about Riyala, it was not enough reason for him to get involved in a war. And if things had remained the same, then Jason would have never gotten involved. But things changed the moment Gina got hurt. Jason didn’t care that this wasn’t his fight and he didn’t give a damn about causing some inter-world diplomatic problem. Jason was going to pay the Sovereign back for sending the Phantoms to his home.
’But first, I need to find a way to get the Banshee’s Tears.’
Jason hummed curiously as he thought about this. He glanced at all the artifacts in front of him and he turned and asked Alpha if she had any [Banshee’s Tears] in there. Alpha shook her head and said she didn’t. Her group mainly acquired weapons-type Artefacts and magical crystals from their victims. The Banshee’s Tears could only be gotten from a Crying Banshee in an Orange Gate.
Jason nodded calmly before he asked the system how to get the tears.
[The Crying Banshee is an Eldritch Rank boss that exists in a world one-dimensional leap away from Earth. There are no current Gates where the Crying Banshee has taken residence, but there was a Gate that was closed recently in Greenville which had a Crying Banshee as the Gate Boss.]
Jason’s brow furrowed when he heard the name of the city. Greenville was a relatively popular city in the country and Jason only had to think for a few seconds before he remembered exactly why they were so popular. That was the city where the BloodRaven guild was operating and it was also where Katarina Ford lived.
’Does that mean the Gate with the Crying Banshee was cleared by the BloodRaven guild? If they cleared it recently, then it’s likely they still have the artefact. I just have to find out where it is.’
Jason gained a resolute expression on his face as he finally decided what he had to do now. He was going to split his attention between finding the Banshee’s Tears and getting stronger as quickly as possible, and the moment he reached a level of strength that would allow him to survive against the Lich, he would go and look for it.
"Jason, is everything okay?"
Riyala suddenly spoke up when she noticed that Jason had been staring off into space for too long and Jason blinked and came back to reality before turning to her. He gave Riyala a calm smile and Riyala smiled back before turning to glance at the pile of bodies that was building up outside the tent.
"Did you ask them to do that? You want to resurrect all the Phantoms?"
Riyala asked curiously and Jason nodded and he stood while talking.
"There are a few things I need to find before I can help Gina, so they’re going to help me get them."
Riyala looked down sadly and a surge of self-loathing filled her heart as she spoke.
"I-I’m sorry for what happened, Jason. I know it’s because you helped me that—"
A hand landed on Riyala’s head and she looked up quickly to see Jason gazing at her calmly.
"That’s enough. Feeling bad about it isn’t going to change anything. Gina wanted to help you because she cared about you, and even now I’m sure she wouldn’t regret her decision. And besides, Gina isn’t gone, she’s just unconscious. You can apologize to her when she comes back.."
Jason cut Riyala off before she could get into an entire monologue about how sorry she was. Jason knew that Gina was aware of the risks before choosing to help Riyala, and Gina did it anyway because that was just the sort of person she was. If anyone needed to feel bad, then it was Jason. He was too lax in protecting his home and that was why things ended up this way. Jason was going to make sure it never happened again.
Jason waited calmly and watched Riyala to make sure she understood he was serious and Riyala eventually ducked her head with a blush and nodded back to him in agreement. Jason pat Riyala’s head softly before telling her to follow him out of the test. Riyala quickly stood and followed Jason, and she swallowed in slight awe when she saw the sheer number of dead bodies that Jason’s subordinates had piled up! Riyala still couldn’t believe how easily Jason was able to deal with the Phantoms that were feared by almost everyone in the Primordial Expanse!
Jason put his hand out towards the pile of bodies in front of him and called out his command.
"Resurrect."
Doon!
Riyala took steps back as she felt an intense surge of mana spread across the area and she couldn’t hide her shock as she saw the Phantom’s souls rising from their bodies! The Phantos looked even more imposing than they had been when they were alive! Their eyes were a dark purple and there were deep purple lines traveling across their bodies like vines! Just looking into those eyes was enough to make Riyala swallow in fear, but none of them made any threatening moves. Instead, they all stood before Jason and waited for his orders.

This was what Jason’s system tab looked like now. He had finally passed the 50% mark in his Rank progression and it wouldn’t take long before he finally reached SS Rank. But once Jason’s eyes landed on the Mission tab and the new mission there, he felt his eyes narrow into slits. It was a sobering reminder of what had been tormenting him all this time and Jason closed his eyes and released a small sigh to calm himself.
Ding~!
The sound of a new notification appearing on his tab gave Jason a chance to distract himself and Jason immediately took it! He closed the main tab that showed his stats and opened the new tab!
