Jason's mana eyes perceived that every Ifry in his surroundings drew the compressed liquefied drop of lifeforce towards their mana core.

However, instead of panicking when he saw this, Jason rushed towards the closest Ifry that was about to pounce at him, trying to hold him down.

The Ifry's strength was high, but it was not strong enough to keep hold of Jason, who had already pierced out with Byakur.

Yet, instead of distancing himself from the Ifry that was about to explode, Jason twisted Baykur within the Ifry's body before he pulled it out.

At the same time, his empty hand shot inside the deep wound he had instilled right next to the Ifry's mana core.

When his hand that was completely enveloped in Solari's black flame entered the Ifry's body he immediately grasped its mana core before tearing it out.

At the same time, he activated Solari's new life force absorption ability while telling it to devour the Creato flame at once.

Jason had already done a similar tactic before, while an Ifry tried to sacrifice its own life to take him with it!

However, right now, he was much cruder and showing off his capabilities because he wanted the Ifrytor and Ifry's morale to plummet further!

He wanted them to fear him, not being able to execute their fullest capabilities to make his fight easier!

s

This was sort of a tactic which he wanted to test out as it was something he hadn't tried out often before.

His plan seemed to work perfectly, as Jason crushed the first mana core in his hand, revealing dense drops of mana that began to pour down his wrist.

Other than the liquefied mana, there was also the Creato flame that levitated in Jason's hand.

However, it didn't take long before it was enveloped and devoured by Soalris' black flames.

Only a few moments were required to finish the deed.

At the same time, Jason felt the blood-red lifeforce drop falling on his hand, as he could hear a sizzling sound.

Only a second later his hand began to each extremely.

Fortunately, this pain dissipated when Solaris absorbed the drop of lifeforce that was about to burn into his hand.

He didn't waste anymore time and repeated the procedure he had already finished with the first Ifry, only to notice that the other Ifry had already appeared right next to him.

This would have pressured Jason under normal circumstances, but Solaris had gained the ability to create wings some time ago.

As such, he couldn't waste this opportunity!

Jason inserted more mana into his soulbond's manifested wings before he pushed his feet from the ground.

He soared into the sky, escaping the Ifry's grasp and Jason could only see their terrified expressions that seemed to say 'Will our sacrifice be completely meaningless?'

This was something, Jason would have answered with a resolute 'YES'.

The Ifry were in fact transformed humans and Jason had not even the tiniest respect for them.

It was as if they had sold their soul to the Ifrytor race and Jason was sure that the Ifry didn't care a single bit about the number of humans they had already killed.

However, that was only if they survived today!

Jason didn't plan to let anyone survive and he wanted to annihilate the whole Ifrytor army he was facing!

At that moment, several Ifry that were ordered to sacrifice themselves while holding Jason down exploded.

The Creato flame within their mana core was unable to cope with the quantity and quality of the Ascron race's compressed lifeforce.

Jason understood this problem completely because Solaris was currently trying to absorb the drop of lifeforce it had taken into its mana core too!

The sheer energy within the small drop of life force was enormous and Jason began to wonder how many drops Solaris could absorb.

However, when he heard Solaris transmitted thought, his worry was washed away as he mumbled "Annex as much soul energy as you want!"

Solaris had transmitted to Jason that the life force was able to nurture it as well as the soul energy it would have to burn, could!

This meant that as long as Solaris was nurtured by lifeforce drop, it was not required to destroy Jason's soul energy!

In the end, this kind of trick was not something he could use all the time, and it felt as if it was something Solaris could only do a few times.

By allowing Solaris to annex soul energy, Jason increased its strength by a large margin.

It became continuously stronger and once the explosion caused by the suicidal Ifry had been colluded, Jason dived towards the ground, straight into the most crowded area thathad the most Ifrys.

'Let's devour a few more lifeforce drops!'

**

It was unknown how much time had passed but the sun was already setting.

Jason was gasping for air, and unable to stand properly as Fasro and the other Ariyor appeared next to him.

Solaris' black flames that had enveloped him during the whole time had been retracted because neither Solaris nor Jason were able to cope with the huge mana consumption the black flames had by releasing its fullest capabilities!

'Solaris has already reached its limit for today?' Jason thought while trying to make sense of everything.

He didn't even remember how his massacre had ended and the only thing he could tell for sure was that he had annihilated the entire Ifrytor and Ifry army!

Jason's whole body pained and he knew that he had reached his limit, while Solaris, whose soul energy had increased to around 200,000 units.

This meant that it had annexed every single vacant soul energy unit within Jason!

At the same, it meant that Solaris' flame's strength had increased to the Late Lique or 1st Lord stage!

Soulbonds at the Lord rank required between 100,001 to 10 Million soul energy units!

This stemmed from the fact that every breakthrough within the Lord rank was 1,000 new liquefied drops of mana!

As such, soulbonds at the Lique stage had to annex between 2,001 to 10 Millions soul energy units to be under control!

Once a beast broke to the Prismar stage, everything would change, but that was not something Jason had to think about now.

'Late Lique stage'

Thinking that Solaris' strength had increased significantly, Jason was overjoyed, but at the same time, he was fully aware of the fact that his control over Solaris had decreased significantly.

At the same time, the black flames mana consumption had increased drastically!

As such, he was unable to play around with the Solaris' flames as it had been possible before!

In order to do that, he would have to increase the number of liquefied drops of mana within his mana core by a large margin!

Nevertheless, while fighting against the Ifrytor and Ifry, he was completely fine.

This was mainly because Solaris absorbed mana from the Ifrytor and Ifry's attacks.

Exactly the same applied to the small fingertip-sized flames that had absorbed every Creato flame around him, which included its mana too!

'While fighting against Ifrytor and Ifry, I can utilize Solaris however I want, but I'll have to change my combat style for other opponents!'

Jason was fully aware of what kinds of disadvantages an overly powerful ability would bring; the loss of control and a much higher mana consumption!

However, in the end, this was just something he had to adjust himself to, and it couldn't be considered a disadvantage!

Solaris had become stronger after all!

Fasro and the others had appeared next to him, but nobody said anything.

In the beginning, Fasro had been worried that Jason would be severely injured.

He and the other Ariyor made the huge mistake and underestimated their mana consumption and the number of high-ranked Ifrytor among the small army they had faced.

Because of that, Jason had to face Ifrytor and Ifry with 150 drops of liquefied mana!

However, instead of receiving a few injuries, or even a shallow cut, Jason was completely unscathed!!

'His strength increased while fighting against the Ifrytor...his origin flame absorbed the Creato flames of the deceased!!'

Meanwhile, the other Ariyor, who didn't know anything about Jason before couldn't help but feel scared.

In their opinion, the human race was extremely weak which was the reason they required their help.

Yet, from the massacre they had seen, this thought seemed to turn into a bad joke!

To everyone who had seen the massacre of one person against several thousand opponents, it was clear that Jason was not an opponent one could take lightly.

After the battle was over, Jason was extremely exhausted and it didn't take long until he was unable to stay awake anymore.

As such, he fell over, only to be caught by Fasro, who said

"You've done great much better than we did. You've even fixed our mistake.."

*[Yaslrn Caves]*

A huge, six-meter-tall Ifrytor with dark red burning flames enveloping his body was sitting on a small throne, looking down on the scouts he had employed to look after the Ariyor race and Myldra race's army.

He did not expect them to return to their hideout and the leader of the Ifrytor race was about to lecture and punish them when he perceived their fear.

This alarmed the Ifrytor and he immediately inquired

"What happened??"

Like that, every single Ifrytor and Ifry got to know about Jason, his capabilities, and the fact that he had a high-grade origin flame that had attained the same ability as the Creato flame's!

s

Not only that was the case, but the scouts even said that the origin flame's strength increased, the longer the whole skirmish, if one was able to call it like that, lasted!
