Catapulting himself into the crowd of 50 opponents, Jason's eyes gleamed brightly as he continued to shoot out sky-bluish silver colored flames, without paying attention to his mana consumption.
Owing to the silver full moon, and the unknown trait Artemis seemed to have received after her evolution, they were replenishing the used-up mana in no time.
Taking a deep breath before plunging himself right into the fray, Jason pulled back Byakur.
Afterward, he manifested a thick and tall wall of ice that split up the group of the 50 Oceanfolk elite.
This unexpected obstacle distracted them for a fraction of a second.
It took them some time to find a way to destroy the wall.
They managed to do so after a while and it collapsed, sending bits of ice that sprayed all over the battlefield.
Jason had created the icewall in order to face only one opponent first.
His trick had worked as that was exactly what happened as he emerged in front of his opponent.
Yet, instead of wasting any time in fighting fairly, Jason unleashed his petrification curse, followed by the race specific weakening curse.
The combined attack weakened the Oceanfolk Elite's combat prowess drastically, all of a sudden.
However, that was not all because Jason followed up with the abyssal effect which he empowered with faint traces of his mana.

With this, he was able to see the subtle movements his opponent was doing in order to build up a protective layer of dense mana around himself.
This protection layer looked like it was strong enough to shield the Oceanfolk Elite against Jason's lethal attacks.
What they didn't know was that Jason had Emperor Eyes and the foresight blessing that allowed him to see the protection layer before it had even been manifested.
Thus, he simply avoided the Oceanfolk Elite's front side which was fully covered in the protection layer.
Instead, Jason attacked his opponent from behind back that was left unguarded.
Owing to the stance he ended up in, Jason was unable to kill his opponent in an instant. Nonetheless, using the frozen moonlight flame that enveloped Byakur, the serious injury he inflicted turned into a lethal one that would kill his opponent in a few seconds.
With that in mind, Jason propelled himself into the air a split second after he had inflicted the injury, knowing that the other remaining crowd of the Oceanfolk Elite would come for him any moment.
As such, not giving them the time to reach him, Jason jumped into the air, where he continued to cover the ground with Solaris' heavily transmuted flames.
On the ground, they seemed harmless and nothing more than tiny sparks.
But once Jason would use them properly, even the remaining Oceanfolk Elite would scream in fear and pain.
Despite that, Jason felt that the threat of his opponent was increasing further because there were a total of three Deepsea Scia that worried him extremely.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Not only did they have unique body constitutions that were different from each other, but their energy fluctuations were more distinct in comparison to the others.
To add to his worry, there was one Deepsea Scia that seemed to be restricting itself.
In the end, Jason was able to see that the said Deepsea Scia's appearance was only an illusion and a means to hide its true form.
Thinking about it, Jason realized that it was probably the being who he had seen half a year ago, the being that had observed everything with the other Deepsea Scia.
Thus, he couldn't help but feel glad that they hadn't attacked 6 months earlier, otherwise, they wouldn't even have lasted minutes against Jason.
However, the current situation was far from ideal for them. Jason was confident to fight and kill everyone in front of them as long as the silver full moon wouldn't betray him, and leave his sight before the fight ended.
In the end, this was the biggest issue and something he had to be careful of.
Every second was precious and so wasting any more time was a luxury he couldn't afford.
As such, Jason circulated a big amount of moonlight transmuted mana through his veins, giving his physical strength a much-needed boost.
After he released the Arctic aura, the Oceanfolks' Elite were covered in chills. They shivered due to the cold and somehow managed to cover their body with an energy layer, shielding them from the bitter cold.
To their misfortune that was exactly what Jason had planned. Only a few minutes passed, in which Jason had never stopped throwing Solaris' heavily transmuted flames towards the ground, without allowing them to extinguish.
Thus, the entire ground was now covered, and the Oceanfolk Elite was slowly realizing that something was wrong.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Nevertheless, they had no time to care about that because Jason was charging towards them while continuing to throw fireballs at them.
Because they had to evade Jason's razor-sharp blade and the fireballs, they had to crane their necks to get a good look at him.
Meanwhile, Jason was hovering above them and his feet didn't touch the ground even a single time.
Thus, the Oceanfolk's Elite only fully comprehended that they had walked right into his trap when they felt the cold on their feet spreading through their body.
Initially, they had believed that the cold on their feet originated from the Arctic aura that had frozen the ground.
As such, even after taking a glance towards the ground, they could only see the white, unmoving and frozen moonlight flames that were extremely small in size, resembling frozen strands of grass.
Owing to the misconception the few Elite of the Oceanfolk had, Jason was finally able to initiate the grand attack he had planned. It made him use a tremendous amount of mana as the field of small, frozen moonlight flames erupted. This led them to unleash the entire mana that was stored within them followed by Jason's mana.
Due to this, the mass of flames erupted, their heights reaching a few meters.
However, it didn't last long, and in only a few seconds before everything was already over.
The flames extinguished, leaving behind an overly exhausted Jason, and a harrowing sight of burning marine beasts in front of him.
The frozen moonlight flames that had seared through the Oceanfolk's Elite continued to burn, solely absorbing the mana and life force of the beings they were burning through.
Yet, in a major turn of events, the majority of the Oceanfolk's Elite were suddenly shedding their skin.
This caused Jason's eyes to widen because he didn't expect them to be able to think on their feet, much less have such an ability to fight the frozen moonlight flames.
Shedding their skin allowed them to expel the frozen moonlight flame, greatly astonishing Jason.
Meanwhile, the other Oceanfolk Elite that were unable to shed their skin began to rip out their own skin, and the flesh below in order to survive the flames which they knew were life-threatening.
Thus, the attack Jason had planned wasn't a total failure.
However, even if his initial attack had not been as lethal as he hoped to, shedding their skin, and tearing out large chunks of flesh weakened the strength of the Oceanfolk's Elite considerably.
With that in mind, Jason emerged in front of the closest Elite, who had just finished shedding its skin.
But it was in vain as it was beheaded by Byakur's razor-sharp blade in the next instant.
His dagger didn't distinguish between an opponent who was prepared for the attack and someone who was just reeling from the effects of his first blow.
Continuing his attack, he felt that the next few seconds would be the most important, which made Jason increase his speed further as he left no stone unturned to defeat his opponents.
Right now, he didn't even have to look into the sky to know that the silver full moon was about to vanish from his sight for a very long time.
He could immediately feel that the moonlight affinity which had allowed him to fight 50 Oceanfolk Elite at the same time, began to weaken.
Thus, he had to make use of the last few seconds, killing as many of his opponents as possible!
