Nobody knew what Jason was thinking except himself.

From his expression, however, one could tell that it was something great for his allies and dangerous for his opponents!

Yet, Jason was oblivious to everything as he thought about the fact that mankind had been trying to advance in its technology section for a long time.

'I've already fought with different pistols...would this work too?' There was an idea in his mind and he was eager to test it out soon.

However, before he would be able to return and start testing out multiple things that were on his mind, they had to defeat the army of the small four-race alliance.

Jason was not sure how many opponents there were, but his confidence increased when he thought about his ideas as he subconsciously blurted out.

"We should finish this quickly, otherwise, I might forget some ideas!!"

Jason was restless and excitement filled him for the first time since Scorpio had sacrificed his life to protect him!

The Doom Crawls noticed the threat coming from Jason, but before they could do something to him, he had already disappeared from the spot he stood only a moment ago.

Circulating mana through his entire body, Jason's speed accelerated by a small margin while the weightless steps technique he had already fully utilized increased it further.

s

His mana consumption was large, yet, by storing a few high-grade mana stones within his belt and pockets, his passive mana gathering was strong enough to balance his mana consumption!

Thanks to fully utilizing his stigma, not only the passive mana gathering but also circulating and annexing it within his mana core were much faster than it had ever been.

As such, he had to replace the used up mana stones with new ones every few minutes.

In the meantime, he picked up a few spatial rings from the deceased Doom Crawls to replenish his used up stockpile of mana stones.

The whole battlefield was littered with corpses and Jason sensed that the surrounding area began to tense up more with time passing.

Everyone perceived death lurking around them which was also the turning point of most battles!

Who would be able to overcome the pressure weighing on them to defeat their opponents that were thirsting for blood?

The more time passed the more intense this pressure would become and real war veterans or natural calm fighters would show their true worth.

Most individuals from foreign races that had yet to reach the Prismar stage were neither war veterans nor natural fighters which allowed the more experienced, yet weaker humans to gain the upper hand.

It was only a small advantage, but the whole battle changed from a standstill towards the big families' favor, while the Ariyor race had already been more experienced than the majority of the four-race alliance army since the beginning!

Yet, Jason was different from that.

While being pressured, his combat prowess seemed to increase when his speed, which was already faster than most Doom Crawls he fought, accelerated further.

If they were to notice that Jason was still adjusting himself to the Celestia bloodline and the full capabilities his stigma and the Celestia aura brought forth, everyone would be even more astonished than they already were.

Right now, everyone was just thinking that Jason was a great natural fighter, who was able to utilize other's tension to his advantage while adjusting to the given situations as well as possible.

In the end, Jason couldn't help but feel that he was not as weak as he had imagined.

Trying to adjust to his Celestia bloodline was not everything he had to do because there were also his enhanced mana eyes, Petri's two curses, and Byakur, whose limit Jason had yet to figure out!

Fighting for several hours against a different race than the Ifrytor, Jason learned many new things.

At the same time, Artemis tried to help him as well as possible from the inside of his mana core which she occupied.

Controlling the wings on Jason's back, she was able to adjust them perfectly to his advantage.

Their fortified soul conjunction had already been deepened for a long time, but Jason never had the opportunity to really fight with Artemis in his mana core.

At least not for a long time, and when he fought against other beasts with Artemis, it was more like he overwhelmed them with his strength. It was never a dangerous fight in which he was not stronger, ending in a head-on encounter or a fight in which he had to be fully concentrated on his opponent's movements.

As Jason tested out everything possible during his fight, he also tried to adjust the black flame beams in order to turn them into highly compressed laser guns that didn't require too much mana.

It was not easy, but thanks to Solaris, who knew more about its flames than anyone else, Jason was able to continue his tests.

He wouldn't have been able to shoot out short lasers that were similar to bullets.

Their trajectory didn't change for several hundred meters and by adjusting everything to his preferences, Jason was able to figure out the required mana to create black fire bullets according to his opponents' quantity of liquefied drops of mana and defensive measures!

It was more like a long-range tool, and Jason's finger broke one after another due to the impact, but he didn't even feel the pain as his excitement overwhelmed every other sensation within his body.

This was a bad sign and even Jason was aware of this.

However, he was unable to take control over this excitement that spread through his entire body.

'Who the hell needs a bow or crossbow to fight long range if one can have Solaris' extreme compressed black fire bullets?'

The only disadvantage was that their impact broke his fingers and that the time required to load enough mana for one shot after another was too long!

Yet, instead of being discouraged by this, Jason made one last test before he would divert his attention back to the opponents he was fighting.

Leading five compressed strings of mana into each finger of his free hand he wanted to see whether it was possible to shoot five black fire bullets at once.

From the logical point of view, this should be possible, but Jason was fully aware that it took much longer than shooting one bullet after another.

As such he waited for the perfect moment before he shot the five bullets at a Doom Crawls that was about to reach an Ariyor whose mana core was heavily injured after fighting several opponents at the same mana core stage at once.

While the black fire bullets left his hand, he could feel his hand bursting open, and the pain he was unable to feel prior flooded him at once.

Gritting his teeth, he rushed towards the Ariyor while Solaris summoned a small flame within his injured hand.

At the same time, Artemis enveloped the outside of his hand with a thick layer of ice to prevent worse from happening.

Jason could only smile weirdly thinking that his soulbonds had become overprotective since Scorpio had died.

However, he couldn't be angry at them, instead, Jason thanked both Artemis and Solaris for their support.

However, this didn't mean that he could slack off!

The five black fire bullets that had pierced a large hole into the Doom Crawl with more than 400 drops of liquefied mana in his mana core didn't die!

He was only injured, not even severely at that!

Nevertheless, Jason's mana eyes perceived something else which he hadn't noticed before!

The black fire bullets were mainly created out of Solaris' black flames with the ability to nullify mana and absorb life force that were intertwined in the bullets he had created!

This means that the bullets that were a part of Solaris' being!

Astonishing enough, they began to burn the Doom Crawl, whose body they couldn't pierce through, from the inside!

Jason thought that this was great to know and even better for the plan he wanted to implement in the future!

Nevertheless, he couldn't slack off and had already emerged next to the Doom Crawl that had been forced to retreat several steps due to the impact of five black fire bullets!

At the same time, the Doom Crawl's strength began to decrease by a minuscule degree every few seconds.

Only then did Jason notice that Solaris' flame was able to kill everything as long as it was able to enter their body!

s

The black origin flame's only requirement was to be at a higher stage than the being it wanted to burn!
