God's Eyes

Right now, Jason felt that something within his mana core was changing, and all of the changes were caused due to Solaris.

His soulbond was still devouring and annexing the fiery aura that was unable to cope with the combined pressure of the fully unleashed Celestia aura Solaris was intertwined with.

Furthermore, his stigma was further enhancing everything, strengthening the merging between the aura and Solaris' flames.

This slowly changed the color of the flames into a whitish-silver tone that was further deepened owing to the moonlight transmutation.

The more the fiery aura was annexed by Solaris, the more changes were occurring inside the mana core.

A faint thread was loosening from the mana core, slowly approaching the core of Solaris' body, trying to find a way to fuse with the black origin flame.

In the end, this was the first time his mana core showed signs of trying to fuse with Solaris.

The possibility excited Jason even though he knew that they were not yet ready to fuse.

It was just his premonition that told him they were not ready to fuse yet, but that was not something his mana core could be bothered about.

Instead, it tried to find a way to advance through the searing flames and reach Solaris' core.

Yet, it couldn't find a way, and the efforts proved to be futile.

However, that was not something Jason was bothered about.

Rather, he was already overjoyed about the fact that his mana core was showing signs of attempting to fuse with Solaris.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Jason had begun to assume that it was simply not possible to fuse with beings that were not in a solid form.

This would have included Spyro, the Spiral Spirit, with whom Jason wanted to fuse as soon as possible in order to try out the duplication technique it had learned.

Nevertheless, before he could divert his attention from the current fight, he first had to emerge victoriously.

That was the most important thing right now!

As such, by fully focusing on deflecting the earth-shattering attacks the fiery puppet had initiated, Jason attempted to wear his opponent out.

Unfortunately, this was easier said than done. Jason had to give his utmost efforts, and even then it didn't look all that great.

He lashed out with Byakur, and the impact nearly broke his arms when the puppet's broadsword collided with Byakur.

He didn't have to win fair and square by openly fighting, that was something only fools would do if they wanted to wear themselves out.

Thus, Jason used his divine energy in an combined attack of his abyssal effect, the petrification curse, and the race specific weakening curse in order to cause great damage to the fiery puppet.

In fact, this attack of the mind was meant to distract the fiery puppet, and simultaneously allow Solaris to devour a large portion of the fiery aura in the time frame the puppet was obstructed.

It had to endure the attacks of Jason's broadsword after being affected by the combination of attacks that had been merged and strengthened with the use of his divine energy.

In the end, his divine energy had received the biggest enhancement with each broken seal of the Chaos Emperor.

As such, a small portion of it was already enough to merge and enhance his attacks by a large margin.

That being said, Jason increased the speed and intensity with which he attacked the fiery puppet.

He wanted to give no chance to the puppet to retaliate let alone regain its composure.

Aiming to overwhelm his opponent, Jason kept raining blow after blow that interrupted the puppet's smooth primordial energy circulation.

Meanwhile, his mana core's desire to fuse with Solaris was increased as the black origin flame had devoured more than half of the released fiery aura.

Owing to this, it was severely weakened, and the fiery puppet was forced to endure the onslaught in two different ways.

One of the attacks was from the entire surrounding that was the Celestia aura, pressuring the fiery puppet a lot.

On the other hand, the second attack was, in fact, Jason, who had begun to circulate his moonlight transmuted mana through his body, followed by traces of divine energy.

It almost looked like the divine energy was merging with the mana Jason released.

It was exactly how his mana veins accepted the divine energy that was previously taken as foreign mass that was ought to be expelled from his mana veins.

Thus, the strengthening Jason was currently receiving, allowed him to fight almost on par with a being that focused on increasing its physical strength to the maximum, in a close combat fight at that.

From the beginning, he had a great advantage, and by continuously making use of it, he could slowly wear off the flame warrior.

Its fierce attacks had become weaker with time, almost as if it was intimidated by Solaris' flames that began to devour the flame warrior.

Because of that, it looked like he had no issues in wearing his opponent out, making it incapable of fighting back.

Yet, Jason's Emperor Eyes were able to perceive the truth. And the truth couldn't be further away from what one would normally be able to sense.

In fact, the amount of the fiery aura Solaris had absorbed was barely a tiny portion of the entire fiery aura that was accumulated within the fiery puppet's body.

Other than that, the amount of primordial energy it used was much lower than he had hoped for.

It almost looked like the fiery puppet was barely using any of its energy and fighting effortlessly.

This was quite annoying to Jason who was using his utmost efforts to defeat it.

However, just as the flame warrior was supposed to disappear owing to the lack of mana, something extraordinary happened.

Instead of using mana, which the fiery puppet had nothing left of, it supplied the flame warrior with primordial energy!

This caused Jason's eyes to widen because he was sure that replacing the mana with primordial energy was not something one could easily do.

At least not, if the fiery puppet wanted to maintain the flame affinity!

Nevertheless, it continued to supply primordial energy, filling the entire body of the flame warrior that began to expand.

At the same time, its form began to take on a solid shape, with flames enveloping the flame warrior like an armor instead of being the entire body itself.

Through this, Jason could clearly see that the fiery puppet was trying to create a second combatant which he would have to face.

Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but frown.

Following that, he did something he hadn't done for a long time- he released his soulbonds to support him while fighting.

Under normal circumstances, he would be too afraid to let his soulbonds fight with him, thinking that they would die, just like Scorpio.

However, right now, he was way too annoyed, causing him to act reckless, as he summoned a more than 130-meter-long Cursed Basilisk. Wanting to help Jason, he used his strongest possible attack to put both curses on the fiery puppet and the Flame warrior.

Meanwhile, Artemis emerged above him, manifesting a storm of ice that was supposed to weaken the flames of the flame warrior slightly.

In the end, his soulbonds were at the same cultivation base as he was, but they didn't have the same unique prismarine crystal let alone highly compressed mana.

Owing to that, they were much weaker than the fiery puppet.

Nevertheless, taking advantage of the fact that the fiery puppet had already been weakened, as well as cursed, both Artemis and Petri were doing their part.

Their combined efforts allowed Jason to await the perfect timing before he slashed through the flame warrior's body, severing it before Solaris reached through it.

As such, the fiery puppet was completely alone, and even if it wanted to retaliate, it had already lost, despite the remaining aura and energy it had inside its body.

But it was only when Byakur slashed through the puppet's neck, decapitating the puppet, that the fight was officially over.

Jason barely won the fight just before the puppet launched a counterattack in a last-ditch effort to save itself from failure!
