Chapter 784 - Calcule
Chapter 784 - Calcule
While retreating and analyzing the situation, he clearly understood that the Oceanfolk's biggest strength was their numerical advantage.
Earlier, he had also feared their combat prowess, because the Mewi had been unable to fight against a single being at the same cultivation rank.
Fortunately, this was not the case anymore, and they were probably strong enough to face several beings at the same rank, at once.
Meanwhile, Jason felt that the Oceanfolk Elite was also divided into multiple units. Otherwise, it made no sense to him that the Peak Prismar stage beings were placed right in the center of the entire army, only to get slaughtered.
Either there was something wrong, or he was completely misinterpreting the situation.
For now, he had no issues defeating the Oceanfolk Elite that may be much stronger than he thought. However, their experience fighting on the lands was abysmally low, and the air seemed to be their nemesis.
With that in mind, Jason used his tail to grab more Oceanfolk beings that were passing him by before throwing them right in front of the Oceanfolk army. Through this, he hoped to create a hindrance, and a means to kill some beasts that would be taken off-guard due to the unexpected attack.
This was cruel, but so was life, and he wouldn't hold back to defeat his opponents, even if that meant he would have to fight dirty.
While using Byakur to tear apart the opponents in front of him with just one hand, he used his tail to grapple beings with a lower cultivation base.
Using these beings as a substitute for ammunition, he kept throwing them at the Oceanfolk army.
Meanwhile, Jason's free hand moved subtly, allowing him to freeze everything in front of him.
Most Cultivators were of the opinion that one didn't have to do anything in order to use an affinity. But Jason was pretty sure that there were even more Cultivators who moved their hands in order to strengthen their control to manifest what they visualized
This made many things much easier, and instead of bothering about what others would do, Jason simply did what he found to be the most efficient.
Thus, freezing the ground in front of him caused a thin layer of ice to form on the ground. This resulted in the beings of the Oceanfolk that were in front of him succumbing to Byakur's razor-sharp blade as they slipped over the smooth ice.
Jason lost track of time as he decided to release his tension by killing the lower-ranked beings of the Oceanfolk. They were in fact mostly on par with his cultivation base.
Yet, he hardly faced any struggle against them and defeated almost every single opponent in a single strike. Despite being equally strong, they could not keep up with his speed, strength, use of his affinity, and so on.
Due to this, Jason felt a little bit bored, but at the same time, he got enough time to analyze and further strategize his next steps.
He had yet to see the Mewi race's shelter that they had built when he was away. It was great news, but owing to the fact that the entire valley was likely to be flooded by the beings of the Oceanfolk, Jason had no reason to be reassured.
Instead, he was worried that the entire shelter could get surrounded, and overwhelmed in a matter of minutes.
That would be difficult to achieve for the Oceanfolk, but by no means impossible.
As such, Jason couldn't help but feel that he would have to hasten up a little bit.
With that in mind, he fought his way through the army, approaching the next Oceanfolk Elite with slow but steady steps.
The army of the Oceanfolk was a tightly packed unit that would have made it difficult to move forward under normal circumstances.
Luckily, he could envelop his body in a layer of Solaris' flames which would allow him to move without much resistance.
Thus, he allowed Solaris to occupy his mana core, decreasing his mana consumption once he used the black origin flame by more than three-quarters.
If he could manage to completely fuse with Solaris, his mana consumption would probably be close to nil, and Jason was already awaiting this day.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Solaris had different requirements to fuse with him than Petri and Artemis, as his soulbond with Solaris was much thicker than that with Petri.
Owing to this, Jason could only use the fortified soul conjunction to gain an advantage.
However, that was already more than enough because the low mana consumption allowed him to release gigantic flames. These would use the mana that his passive mana gathering technique in the sub-area would replenish only a moment later.
Fortunately, creating just a single humongous flame was not something Jason wanted to do.
Instead, he enveloped his body with Solaris' flames before allowing it to lunge at each opponent around him.
Through this, he wanted to allow Solaris to burn and absorb mana before depriving the Oceanfolk beings of their life force.
Even if Solaris couldn't make use of their life force, Petri was able to recycle and use it for his cultivation. And by depriving its opponents of their life force, Solaris was able to kill them much faster.
Thus, Jason transformed into a living torch that was completely enveloped in black flames. His golden eyes were piercing out of the black layer, staring deep into the eyes of the Oceanfolk Elite. He reached them not long after he began to make his way through the army.
In the end, Jason kept marching forward, leaving behind painful cries and shrieks of the Oceanfolk, as they succumbed to their deaths by being burned alive.
Showing no mercy, Jason fought as if his life depended on it, which was, in fact, the case. He was well aware that a single mistake could lead to his doom, and that was not something Jason wanted to happen.
As such, even if the battle were to last for days on end, Jason was ready. He was preparing fractions of Solaris' flames that nurtured themselves in the body of others.
This allowed him to reserve more than enough mana and energy to keep fighting longer!
Upon reaching the next Oceanfolk Elite, he didn't hesitate and attacked the being that wielded a spear.
Throwing a fireball that was roughly the size of a large football towards it, Jason didn't wait to let the Elite's spear destroy it.
Instead, the compressed black fireball exploded the moment the Elite's spear reached it as per Jason's instructions.
The foresight blessing was no less than a boon for him on a battlefield. It allowed him to perfectly time the moment of the explosion which was less difficult than he expected.
It helped him a lot and made many things much easier, such as overwhelming the spear wielder in front of him.
Through the explosion of the compressed fireball, the spear's trajectory changed. It gave Jason the required moment to attack through the faint cloud of smoke that had emerged in between them.
After killing the spear wielder just like the previous Oceanfolk, Jason suddenly felt a premonition, which made him retreat.
By absorbing each of Solaris' subsidiary bodies that had separated from the main body in order to devour the mana and life force of their opponents, Jason was strengthened.
Yet, that did little to hide his astonishment the moment he saw a total of 50 Elite of the Oceanfolk flying past him, on top of a ginormous flying whale!
'Is that their plan?' Jason wondered, astonished about the whale's speed.
