Chapter 363 Three Clowns
The black origin flame had entered his mana core and he utilized it to envelope himself in a faint layer, thinking that it might negate the thunder horses attacks by a small degree.
Jason was still not profound in the black origin flame's new ability to nullify mana which he wanted to change!
Testing out things would help a lot and it was not like he had to use a lot of mana for his experiment.
Thanks to the fortified soul conjunction he had with the black origin flame and the fact that it entered his mana core gave Jason several perks.
His mana consumption while using the black origin flame's inherited black flame affinity would be minuscule.
Furthermore, Jason's mana circulation was already superb before, thanks to his Innate talent, the first baptism he received, and the Netherworld's fort body refining he underwent.
Nevertheless, this superb mana circulation increased by a large margin after Jason received his second baptism.
As such he didn't even have to think properly about what he wanted the black flame to do!
Jason was several hundred meters away from the fight and he knew that throwing several dozen black flame spears would require too much mana.
That was if he wanted them to retain their shape and fly in a straight line.
'I should have purchased a better bow…' He lamented inwardly, calling himself names to have forgotten to practice Archery thinking that using elemental attacks as a means to fight over a long distance would be good enough.
He had a mid-grade-1 bow with reinforced arrows inside his spatial ring, but throwing icicles would be more efficient in both velocity and impact.
If he were to exert all of his strength, Jason was confident to use a mana-grade-2 bow which he could use to shoot high-velocity and impactful arrows.
However, he neither had such a bow nor arrows he might use.
As such he had to use a different tactic.
Exerting the weightless steps movement technique to accelerate his speed by 60%, Jason also manifested several tiny and compressed black flames which he enveloped in a thick ice layer.
It had been some time since he used blazing icicles to fight against someone else, but that didn't mean he never practiced and developed them.
While the black flame within the icicles was at a low temperature that begun to slowly heat up, Jason shot them towards the horde of thunderstorm horses at a wide-angle.
After the burning icicles shot towards the thunderstorm horses, his connection with them was severed which caused the icicles to melt naturally
However, this procedure was slow enough to allow the icicles to descend straight into the most crowded areas of thunderstorm horses as they burst open.
The black flames that were barely held together by the thick, compressed ice around them erupted with the mana Jason had used to manifest them.
Large explosions resounded through the surrounding area and Jason perceived that everything he wanted to achieve with this attack had happened!
More than a dozen thunderstorm horses had been injured from the black flame, that had the strength to injure a Lowest Lique stage if used properly, decreasing their combat prowess by a large margin.
Nevertheless, even more important was the fact that the explosion within the thunderstorm horse's center distracted them from the other young prodigies, creating a mass-panic.
The two thunderstorm horses' leaders wanted to refrain their group from separating when another batch of explosions occurred within the crowd of thunderstorm horses.
Jason's mana consumption with such attacks was negligible which caused him to be overjoyed.
His sub-area's passive mana absorption allowed him to attack as much as he wanted if he were to refrain from using attacks that used up too much mana.
The small blazing icicles he used weren't such high mana consumption attacks and they were unable to injure anyone badly as long as he didn't hit someone with it directly.
If he used more mana to create the blazing icicles it would be different, but there was no need to do that!
As such, Jason rushed towards the three peak-Master ranks that were astonished about the sudden interference of an unknown individual which caused them to look around.
Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but frown because they were as distracted as the thunderstorm horses, which was not what he wanted to do!
Instead of killing the panicking thunderstorm horses, they searched for him.
Only the blond-haired light affinity user, who had to belong to a big family, if not the Jual clan because of the evident fact that he refined his physique, started to kill the thunderstorm horses by thrusting his spear at them at a fast speed.
Meanwhile, the lowest Lique stage meerkat manifested several light needles one after another to kill the distracted beasts as soon as possible.
When Jason reached the three young prodigies that stared at him in awe, he couldn't help but sigh as he passed them to start slaughtering the remaining thunderstorm horses.
Meanwhile, the light affinity user who saw him, nodded his head with a faint smile before he rushed towards his teammate at the lowest Lique stage who was fighting against the two thunderstorm horse leaders.
He didn't enter close combat but utilized his affinity as the meerkat did to attack them through a long distance.
The battle's tides changed once more and only four minutes passed when Jason was done slaughtering the remaining thunderstorm horses.
Looking around, he saw that everyone survived which was a good sign.
The two lowest Lique stage thunderstorm horses were still alive, but instead of fighting against the light affinity user, the young woman, and their two lowest Lique stage soulbonds, they intended to flee.
With several dozen light injuries covering their body and the situation of their brethren, both thunderstorm horse leaders were fully aware of the fact that they could die any moment.
That was if they were to remain around the bipedal beings that entered their territory!
However, before they could even do anything, two black fireballs that had the size of the horses' heads flew towards them, hitting their back.
The thunderstorm horses released instinctively electric currents around the area that was hit by the black fireball which caused the fireballs to explode.
With a pained neighing, the two thunderstorm horses lost all energy as they slumped to the ground, where they continued to bray in pain.
Ignoring their pain, the blond-haired youth manifested two large, yet compressed light spears which he shot towards each of the thunderstorm horses.
Piercing their chest, the thunderstorm horses' bright, vivid eyes dimmed in an instant.
Jason, who had thrown the two black fireballs after he had finished the injured late-Unblemished with the help of the black origin flame's superior strength approached the small group who had gathered around the dead lowest Lique stage thunderstorm horses.
Upon seeing him, the three youths stared at him in suspicion without lowering their guard.
When Jason saw this he couldn't help but smile lightly behind the pitch-black mask because the three youths who were distracted in the earlier fight were now on guard against him.
"If I wanted to do something against any of you, I could have waited for the thunderstorm horses to do the job. Furthermore, I could have killed you, three clowns, when you guys stared at me in awe the moment I rushed to the thunderstorm horses!
"
