Less than ten minutes later, Jason stood in front of several thousand Ifrytors and Ifrys that stared at him as if he was insane.
Jason assumed that they wondered whether he was going to attempt suicide or if he was playing around.
However, before Jason, the Ifrytor or Ifry were able to do anything, a huge magic circle began to manifest around them on the ground.
It was silver in color and Jason immediately knew that it was the Ariyor's quicksilver affinity.
At the same time, the humongous-sized magic circle was manifesting, the Ifrytor and Ifry began to notice that something was wrong.
Yet, before they could react silver, quicksilver spikes shot out of the suddenly manifested magic circle.
There were several thousand of them and Jason was utterly dumbfounded because he was also standing inside the quicksilver magic circle!!
Fortunately, the quicksilver spears that shot out of the magic circle didn't seem to target him, instead, they focused on the most powerful Ifrytors and Ifrys.
Every single Ifrytor at the Prismar stage had been pierced by several hundred quicksilver spears in a matter of seconds, while the remaining quicksilver spears shot towards the Ifrytor and Ifry at the late and mid Lique stage!
When Jason saw this, he began to wonder whether he was even required, or if the six Ariyor were able to take care of everything by themselves.
However, when his mana eyes perceived the Ariyor, that hid in the thicket of the surrounding trees and bushes, Jason knew that this question was needless.
'Rather than them being able to do everything by themselves, they've not only exhausted their complete mana core but also used up... some of their life force, I think?'
Jason could tell from their dimmed mana core, that the Ariyors had used up some of their life force. At least he assumed that to be the case.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})This caused him to wonder whether life force was replenishable or not.
By the looks of it, this should be possible because the Ariyor race seemed to like using their life force during a fight.
Jason was not exactly sure what the quicksilver magic circle in front of him was, but he began to think that it was another secret technique.
This secret technique seemed to use up the user's mana and life force in order to create a magic circle that attacks the most powerful opponents one after another.
If they were a few more Ariyor with them, Jason was confident that his presence would be useless.
Only then did he recall Fasro's words about that they required every single Ariyor while fighting against the Myöldra race's army.
'Is that why he wanted to take me to the Ifrytor race's battlefield?'
Jason had been unsure why Fasro took him to the Ifrytor battlefield, but everything seemed to make sense now!
There were still several thousand Ifrytor left, but not a single Prismar stage nor Ifrytors and Ifrys with more than 150 drops of liquefied mana!
[I'm sorry, we couldn't take care of more….there were a few unruly Ifrytor that required more mana than I estimated…]
Jason was not sure how, but he heard Fasro's voice in his head.
Unfortunately, he was unable to think about how the voice transmission with Fasro had worked.
There were several thousand Ifrytor and Ifry he had to take care of, after all!!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})He retraced Artemis' wings while he was still in mid-air and allowed Solaris, who was already screaming out in greed, to enter his mana core.
The Creato flames that had been released by the thousand corpses of Ifrytor and Ifry that were at a higher mana core stage than Jason attracted Solaris' full attention.
Jason sensed and felt this which led him to allow Solaris to enter his mana core while he was still in mid-air.
Just like that, huge black flames sprouted out of his back, and a faint smile emerged on Jason's face as he noticed that his experiment seemed to have worked out.
While the amount of soul energy Solaris possessed increased, its flame's capabilities increased too.
As such, Solaris learned how its flames had to be formed and adjusted in order to replicate Artemis' wings.
The black origin flame was hard working and tried the same with several more body parts of Jason's other soulbonds.
Only Artemis' wings worked for now, but that was more than Jason had expected.
With black burning flames sprouting out of his back, Jason's appearance began to turn into that of a ferocious beast that had crawled out of hell itself.
He began to descend to the ground at a slow pace, and at the same time, Jason's whole body was slowly being enveloped by compressed black flames.
Only his eyes and the palms of his hands were void of flames until Byakur appeared in one hand.
Jason's soul weapon was enveloped by Solaris' black flames in an instant.
However, the moment both Solaris and Jason activated their stigma that began to shine brightly within a moment, Jason's appearance began to change once again.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})He lifted his free hand and released more than a thousand, fingertip-sized black flames that floated towards the Ifrytor and Ifry corpses where they began to absorb the Creator flame.
However, nobody could care less about that right now.
Every single pair of eyes was trained on Jason, who was still descending to the ground.
His manner was relaxed and he released an eerie tranquility as if what happened next had nothing to do with him.
Jason himself was not even sure what was going on, but he felt that his connection with Solaris had deepened to a frightening degree.
Before, they had already felt extremely close, but right now it was as if he and Solaris turned into one entity!
At the same time, Jason could sense that there was something in a deep slumber within Solaris' deepest parts!!
Fasro and the five Ariyor who saw Jason from further away were unable to control their silver liquefied body that began to vibrate as Fasro mumbled.
"How...can he look like the Princes of Hell?"
If the Ifrytor and Ifry that had survived the onslaught of several tens of thousand quicksilver swords had not been scared already, this would have changed now at the latest.
Jason's mana consumption was lower than he had estimated, and from the experience, he had already gained by fighting against the Ifrytor and Ifry, Jason knew that Solaris could sustain itself without the need to rely on him.
That was if it could absorb a few Creato flames.
As such, Jason didn't want to waste much more time.
Nevertheless, this didn't hinder him in increasing the supply of mana he gave Solaris, who seemed to try to do something.
While supplying Solaris with more mana, Jason didn't even realize, that the translucent frames of a gigantic gate could be seen from behind him.
They were enveloped in Solaris' black flames, however, weirdly enough, the gate's interior was completely empty.
Yet, everyone who saw the outlines of the gates couldn't help feel that their life was on the line.
"What kind of origin flame…..is that???" Fasro mumbled while forcing himself to stop retreating.
The Ifrytor and Ifry that stood in front of him were frozen on their spot and unable to move at the sight of the gate that manifested in front of them.
It released an eerie aura and only when the gate had begun to dissipate, was anyone able to breathe again.
Jason sensed that Solaris' strength was increasing with every second passing as the black flames it had split up began to absorb the deceased's Creato flames!
It received only a few percent from them directly, while the rest would be supplied after the merging process with the tiny flames.
However, both Jason and Solaris could tell that the absorbed Creato flames would make a huge impact on the origin flame's future strength and abilities.
This was something they had expected, but the final outcome was grander than either of them could have ever thought about.
The entire surrounding was filled with black flames that flickered vibrantly, turning the proximity into a piece of land that had turned into hell itself!
Jason took a deep breath before he took the first step as the Solaris' wings flapped once, pushing him towards the first batch of scared Ifrytor and Ifry's!
