Being thrown out of his masters´ hideout definitely felt bad and Jason wondered how his soulbonds were supposed to come to him, as they were also thrown through the spatial portal, which woke them up from their sweet dreams.

Scorpio opened its drowsy eyes, only to see Jason smiling at him.

Immediately fully awake, Scorpio jumped towards him in order to greet Jason, only to notice that it almost jumped too far.

Feeling its increased strength, it was overjoyed as it rubbed its rough and slightly spiky exoskeleton at Jason.

Artemis also woke up and noticed that her arch-enemy received Jason´s whole attention, which she couldn't accept at all.

Screeching out, she was about to grab Scorpio to throw it into the water as Jason caressed her plumage which caused her to stop almost instantly.

A few minutes passed until his two soulbonds stepped back, freeing him from their imprisonment.

Remembering Shane´s words about his fortified soul conjunction, Jason wanted to enter his soul world and figure everything out, as he felt a pain in his soul world.

Apparently, both Artemis and Scorpio were fighting over his soul energy which ended with none of them receiving any of it.

Jason himself had to divide his soul energy and he could give either one the majority of his soul energy.

Right now, he had 150 soul energy units, thanks to Scorpio's sudden metamorphosis and increase in strength, causing Jason to ponder how to divide it.

However, Scorpio already owned and annexed 15 soul energy units of him. 

This meant that even if Artemis annexed the remaining soul energy units, Jason accumulated over the last weeks, it would be useless, as there was still not enough vacant soul energy units for her to be stored within his soul world once again.

After entering the evolved stage, Artemis´ soul energy increased to 130 units, but unfortunately for her was that she was still maturing and growing stronger. 

Right now, her required soul energy increased to 140 units and it was still growing exceptionally fast, even though Jason only fed her the lowest possible mana unblemished and magical ranked mana cores once in a while, which she digested slowly.

This didn't cause her to feel less frustrated, which she showcased with a small blizzard enveloping her and Jason had to try his best in order to calm her down.

Allowing Scorpio to annex 45 additional soul energy units, he immediately entered Jason´s soul world, where one could see a paper-thin manifested connection between both Jason and Scorpio.

Jason already predicted that, but upon seeing that the connection was extremely thin, he began to wonder if he could fuse with Scorpio like Till did, with the same speed and degree.

But even before he could continue his train of thoughts, Jason felt his whole body itching, as his strength began to amplify thanks to Scorpio's shared strength through the soul world core.

Normally it would take longer for the whole amplification from the soul world core to reach him in order to strengthen his physique and enlarge his mana core size but it seemed like the fortified soul conjunction caused the whole process to accelerate, which was good to know for the future.

Feeling his skin becoming tougher, while his bones and flesh were strengthened, Jason understood that Scorpio´s evolution relied more on his endurance and exoskeleton rather than a mana strengthening or anything else, as his mana core size only increased by a small margin compared to the rest.

He didn't reach a higher rank through the amplification, but his physique became tougher, while his mana core size increased slightly.

With his body still itching, Artemis squeezed herself on his shoulder in order to mark her territory, as he stood up in order to go home to the Fler´s house.

The shuttle he called, arrived only five minutes later, as he entered it.

Sitting inside it, Jason decided to practice the Heaven's Hell technique with his newly increased soul energy.

The single practice he did right now, increased his soul energy by roughly 1.2 units, which was extremely high and roughly 0.8% for each practice he did.

As such, Jason felt confident in reaching a higher soul energy in order to store Artemis within his soul word, soon.

It was already Sunday and almost lunchtime when he arrived at the Fler´s house.

He was happy to see the Fler´s who looked at him with astonishment because they didn't expect him to come home so soon.

As such, they asked him if something happened, which Jason didn't deny, as he told them that Scorpio would evolve soon and that it already underwent an incomplete evolution.

Even if he lied to the Fler´s, the truth would be revealed sooner or later, as he couldn´t hide Scorpio's existence and appearance forever because it would grow further with time passing.

In the end, telling the truth was much easier than lying, but the Fler´s seemed to be extremely shocked about his revelation, as Greg asked with shining eyes.

"Do you know a Beast-Creator?!?" Greg was almost shouting, which took him by surprise, but after thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that his friend had a reinforced horned bull, that could evolve as long as it had enough mana, the right valuable ingredients which had to be concocted into an evolution solution.

The Fler´s were already searching for a Beast-creator since they found out about Greg´s soulbonds hidden bloodline and its additional potential but the requirements to even gain an appointment to see a Beast-Creator were already extremely harsh.

In the end, it wasn't even ensured if the Beast-creator could help them out or not.

And even if he could help, they would have to search for the required materials and pay for them.

Calculating everything together, the requirements to evolve a beast were extremely harsh, even though it would be worth every credit.

Figuring out what Greg meant, Jason wasn't sure what to say, as an Idea popped up in his mind.

`From what I read in books, evolving a beast with a sealed higher bloodline in their body is the easiest for seasoned Beast-Creators. With enough information, Dalia should be able to tell me what materials the reinforced horned bull requires in order to evolve, as long as she knows about the Lesser Minotaur race.

It should be feasible...or is that too much to ask? Let's give it a try!`

Clearing his throat, Jason pondered how he should begin as he said hesitantly.

"I know a Beast-Creator but neither do I know what rank this beast-creator is or even his or her name.

One could say, I accidentally met this beast-creator and he took a liking to Scorpio, as it noticed its potential. Maybe I can ask the Beast-Creator if he can help Taurus out in order to evolve, but I can´t promise anything for sure!"

With some small lies attached, Jason couldn't reveal his master's existence because she was hiding from the public.

As such, Jason decided to create a mysterious beast-creator, which would hopefully solve all of his problems.

He couldn't promise anything, but Greg and the Fler´s seemed to feel overjoyed by Jason´s simple words, even if he didn't ensure anything at all, as he gave them a slight ray of hope that seemed to have almost vanished due to the harsh stated conditions, Astrix´s low-ranked Beast-Creators stated.
