Time flew by and it was only when the number of heavily injured people that were sent back to the camp increased that Jason thought it was time for him to enter the battlefield once again.
Solaris had already informed him that it had absorbed the life force, mana, and Creato flames of those the massive crescent blade beam had killed.
As such, Jason wouldn't have any problems supplying Petri with life force to accelerate his evolution, while Solaris could annex more soul energy as it had nurtured its mana core and everything revolving around it.
There was also enough mana to utilize Kumo and Degar for a long duration, which allowed Jason to allow Artemis to occupy his mana core instead of Solaris.
For the time being, he wanted to prevent attracting too much unwanted attention.
Solaris' full-body armor and black wings were such a mean, and it was better to be more careful than he had been before.
The Drake alliance should be wary of him right now. Thus, Jason decided to utilize Artemis' wings and Kumo as the only means to fight for now.
Other than that, he decided to use Artemis' ice affinity while Solaris' black flame would only be manifested at the tip of Kumo's barrel.
If there were opponents too strong for Jason to handle, he would either retreat or simply unholster Degar with which he was confident to kill someone with more than 1000 drops of liquefied mana.
Nevertheless, Jason's reluctance to enter the battlefield in fright that he might cause another incident, or turn into an Infernal Celestia, was apparent.
Yet, even if that was the case, Jason knew that everyone was using their utmost efforts to protect Argos from being conquered by the Drake alliance to remain free and unrestrained.
Nobody knew what exactly would happen afterward, but it was evident that the Drake alliance was not good for Argos, let alone mankind.
Jason was aware of this, however, he thought that even some big clans and ancient sects had issues with treating their citizens well.

Taking a deep breath, Jason decided to suppress his aura and stigma as he circulated a large amount of mana through body and Artemis' wings before he flew off.
Not even three minutes had passed before he had entered the battlefield that was littered with blood, spilled organs, and dead bodies.
This sight was among the worst one could see during any war, but Jason, who was inserting a large amount of mana into his eyes to look out for Solaris' remnants simply ignored them.
It was difficult, but his mind seemed to be filtering out everything negative since he had fired the crescent sword blade.
While searching the nurtured flames of Solaris, Jason had unholstered Kumo which he used to shoot several humans from other big clans, without mercy.
His heart was cold and to Jason, it felt like he had no emotions left in his body, whether they were good or bad.
This was something uncommon for him because he had always revealed his happiness and positivity
Only his anger, wrath, and agony had been suppressed most of the time, but now, his entire being felt uncomfortable and weird as if he was nothing but an empty shell.
There was only his current task at hand, and once he found the first remnant of Solaris' flames that were covered within the drained body of the deceased it had absorbed, Jason summoned it.
Solaris was originally not even a large flame and had only the size of his palm within its normal state.
However, this could change in a single moment, and one could say that it was disguising itself.
A few moments after Solaris had been summoned it began to create a faint suctioning force that attracted and absorb every flame in the radius of a few dozen meters.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})It was also possible to increase this radius, but this would attract too much unwanted attention.
Instead, Jason was crossing the battlefield to reach Solaris flame's remnants which replenished his used-up mana, the moment he used it up to kill dozens of opponents on his way.
Kumo trigger was pulled at a rapid pace, and every time an opponent was killed, Solaris absorbed the remaining life force and mana.
Its abilities were truly frightening and Jason didn't wish to ever encounter someone with a similar affinity as he had.
As such, he could only be grateful to have Solaris by his side.
It was feeding Petri with life force while absorbing Jason's soul energy the moment its nurtured state allowed this without burning a single soul energy unit.
Owing to this, Solaris had already annexed around 830,000 soul energy units, while Artemis had merely annexed 10,000 units, and Petri was only around 3,000 soul energy units.
In the end, Artemis would become Jason's weakest soulbond if Petri's evolution was successful, and this bothered him!
She had already felt useless for a long time, but now that Solaris was becoming even stronger, while the newest member of their family was about to finish evolving, this intensified.
With that being said, Artemis demanded to leave the soul world, which Jason prevented by sealing his soul world.
As such, she was complaining the whole time Jason was fighting with his life on the line, until he had to agree to give her as many mana stones and mana cores as she wanted after the Great Argos war would end.
This was not disadvantageous towards him at all, and Jason could hardly complain, even more so after Artemis had quieted down!
Time passed slowly, and Jason's contribution in the Great Argos war increased, the higher his proficiency and accuracy with Kumo became.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Before, replacing an empty magazine took almost two seconds, but now the last bullet barely left the barrel before he had already started to replace the empty magazine.
Nevertheless, the more opponents he killed, the more attention he attracted.
This was the downside he had to face, and stronger foes had begun to attack him.
Yet, at the same time, a small group from the Argos alliance with a mana core at the Prismar stage had noticed Jason's high contribution and efficiency which caused them to protect him subconsciously.
They were aware of what the young man had done earlier.
Thus, even if it was not possible to recreate such a miracle, Jason's weapons were extremely fast and most opponents were not strong enough to protect themselves from the mana-burning ability of the black bullets seemed to have.
Thus, with time passing slowly, the surrounding area of Jason became less frequent with opponents at the Lique stage.
"I'll go alone. Thanks for protecting me but you guys attract too much attention. Even more than the gun does. Stay alive!"
With that being said, Jason used the weightless steps technique at the perfect mastery before he released dense mist from his body.
It expanded at a rapid pace, and without anyone knowing, Jason utilized the disguise ability Solaris had learned from devoured the silver origin flame to alter his facial features.
His eye color was still the same as well as his body, however, to disguise himself he took out a robe that covered his body and the simplest tool to disguise himself in order to make his appearance less suspicious.
What others looked at to distinguish Jason from others were not his eyes because other big clans had members with similar eyes due to specific traits, but his stigma!
By taking out the miraculous tool he had procured earlier this could have been hidden to and it was called camouflage makeup!
