A thunderous roar reverberated through the surrounding area, which made the entire battlefield go silent for a second.

Everybody turned around to see the source of the painful scream.

The other Oceanfolk Elite were staring wide-eyed at the Ginormous Deepsea Scia that had realized it was about to die.

Even the thousands of other marine beasts that belonged to the army of the Oceanfolk stopped for a second to turn towards their strongest combatant.

It felt as if the scene in front of them was playing in slow motion as shock spread through their body.

They had realized that there was someone from the opposite party who was stronger than their strongest Elite member.

It clearly meant that their chances to win were rapidly decreasing.

This realization only deepened further the moment the Ginormous Deepsea Scia collapsed on the ground.

Sky blue flames enveloped its dead body, devouring it as it slid down the Titan Whyle's corpse.

When the Ginormous Deepsea Scia died, Jason's sight blurred, and a moment later his fusion with Artemis was dissolved.

Afterward, Jason didn't think much as he told Artemis to return to the soul world while asking Solaris to enter the mana core.

Using an insignificant amount of mana that his mana core had already replenished, Solaris began to heal him.

The flame's soothing sensation within his body began to tend to his aching muscles and mana veins that were on the verge of tearing apart.

It had been a long time since he felt as powerless as right now, and Jason felt as if all of the energy had seeped out of him. His knees gave in as he slumped to the ground.

He didn't even realize that he was lying on the Titan Whyle's corpse.

Gravity did its work and pulled him towards the ground, as he landed next to the burning corpse of the Ginormous Deepsea Scia.

The flames enveloping it were still sky blue, but when a trace of Solaris' black flame took control over the flames, they slowly started to turn black.

This caused Jason to smile lightly, even more so when he felt that the life force Solaris had absorbed from the Deepsea Scia was invigorating him.

Under normal circumstances, this was not possible, but owing to the fact that Jason's entire body was sukd dry of his nutrition followed by the scarcity of mana, a fraction of the devoured life force was transferred to his body.

As for the remaining life force, it was released within the soul world, where Petri devoured it without a second of hesitation.

The Cursed Basilisk wanted to become stronger, and life force was even more potent than primordial energy. Thus, absorbing it would help accelerate the cultivation speed of beings that followed the cultivation path of Pryr.

That was something Jason had already noticed beforehand, but he had never truly comprehended how potent the life force of beings at a higher cultivation base was.

Petri's cultivation speed accelerated by at least 30%, which was a decent feat.

The Cursed Basilisk was able to cultivate as fast as Spyro, whose cultivation speed was much higher than Jason had first expected.

In the end, each of his soulbonds had a high cultivation speed that was probably on par with that of higher races.

Unfortunately, Jason was not able to see if any of his soulbonds had a specific racial limit or not.

Thus, they would be depressed once they would become too weak to help him.

This, in fact, could be quite dangerous because his soulbonds may act like Scorpio, sacrificing themselves, thinking that it was their final task to die for him.

Jason didn't want a repeat of the incident of the Yaslrn caves to ever happen again.

As such, he would rather bind more soulbonds, and become strong enough to overcome all obstacles, instead of allowing them to sacrifice their lives just because he was too weak to protect all of them.

With that in mind, he had also bound the Sacred Squirrel, just a short while after he bound Spyro to his Soul.

In fact, the Sacred Squirrel was completely different from his other soulbonds because it was cultivated with blessed energy, and only its blessings at that.

Because of that, its strength would already be lacking, and Jason was not even sure if the Sacred Squirrel was able to become stronger, at all.

Once all of its blessings were stronger, it might be able to cultivate, but that was not something he could know, and the only thing he could do was to make ssumptions that revolved around the Sacred Squirrel.

While his body was currently too weak to move even a single inch, his mind was rattling wildly.

In the end, he required a short break before he could start annihilating the rest of the Oceanfolk's army, and he hoped that the Mewi would be fine until then.

His current strength was simply too weak to protect the Mewi that were still fighting behind him.

Yet, since he had defeated the Ginormous Deepsea Scia, their morale had received a huge boost, while the exact opposite could be said about the Oceanfolk Elites.

They would have rushed back into the ocean if not for the fact that Jason had collapsed to the ground.

That was the only thing that prevented them from giving up.

Fighting with a desperation that was flaring up from the depths of their conscience, they still thought that they had a chance.

However, their bubble burst when they saw that the bodies of the Mewi were suddenly enlarging.

Their skin color changed into a faintly glowing blue, representing the purest form of mana. This allowed the Mewi to use the mana that was stored in their body, representing their life force, to exceed their limits.

Initially, they hadn't planned to resort to using this technique, but after seeing Jason,,, it was impossible for them to do nothing.

He was a complete stranger yet he was fighting with his utmost efforts in order to protect the shelter and the people inside. Thus, his actions motivated them to fight like never before.

If they were to lose against the Elite of the Oceanfolk right now, their entire race would be annihilated, after all!

With a deep sigh, Brell wanted to demonstrate to Jason that he wouldn't have to injure himself just to protect them once again.

They were already doing much better than before, solely owing to the fact that the mana density of the valley had returned to its former peak.

Yet, the moment Jason slid from the Titan Whyle's corpse, he knew that it was time for them to quickly end the battle.

As such, with the simple thought of using all of his strength, Brell had ordered the Mewi to do the same before he mumbled in the direction of the Oceanfolk's Elite.

"You should never underestimate someone if you don't know their true strengthand form!"

Saying that, he unleashed the unsealed and purest form of mana he possessed before he disappeared from the spot he had been standing a moment ago.

It was just a blink of an eye later that he appeared behind the opponent that was the furthest away from them, as he pierced out with his arm that had turned into a two-meter-long blade.

Piercing through the hst of the oblivious Elite of the Oceanfolk, Brell continued his onslaught, motivating the other Mewi to defeat their opponents as quickly as possible too.

Even the two Deepsea Scia that were much stronger than the rest were unable to face the onslaught of transformed Mewi.

As such, the fight ended rather quickly after Jason had defeated the Ginormous Deepsea Scia.

Reverting to their old form the moment the fight was over, the Mewi breathed heavily while Brell had already appeared next to Jason with a faint smile on his face.

"Oi, it's not yet time to sleep!"
