Loss

Jason was unable to move or do anything to rescue Scorpio, who was bearing the terrific pain without issuing a single noise.

Artemis was screaming out in fright and desperation, knowing what Scorpio, her rival, but also her family, was doing.

She wanted to help him out, support Scorpio, prevent him from being forced to endure everything alone, and protect both Jason and Scorpio! 

However, Jason had already sealed his entire soul world with gritted teeth.

His eyes were filled with tears as Scorpio's exoskeleton that had turned golden began to show the first signs of cracking.

"Nooo…."

He was not sure what to do, and his train of thoughts had become a whole mess.

Nothing Jason thought of seemed to be helpful and he could barely take out a few high-grade potions from his spatial ring as he wanted to pour them into Scorpio's mouth.

Yet, before he was even able to open the vials, the potions' content had already evaporated.
