After making use of the fact that he could activate and terminate the fusion with Artemis whenever he wanted, Jason felt that being able to do something one time for a long period and being able to fuse however often he wanted with a specific period were a huge difference.

In his third fusion with Artemis, Jason's entire body felt as if it had been sucked dry of nutrition, and while fighting he had to start eating the heaviest food in order to keep himself energized.

Not only was the fusion devouring an enormous amount of energy, but every single time he initiated the fusion, his entire body would start changing, followed by his aura, in addition to a second stigma that would emerge and so on.

All changes required nutrition to be initiated and completed. Because of that, the amount of nutrition he had wasted by dissolving and fusing with Artemis, and a total of three body part manifestations, were equivalent to the nutrition stored in their bodies by three cultivators at the Peak of the Prismar stage

Jason had always required a lot of nutrition, but today was different- today he was wasting his nutrition.

With that in mind, he kept eating dishes he took out of his spatial ring, before thinking of a better way to defeat the Elite units without being forced to use his energy reserves.

Once he ascended into the air, water jets would follow suit, and the number would increase to dozens of water jets in a single second.

This was not something Jason was happy about, but with a new plan in mind, he was sure that the Elite Oceanfolk beasts would have to heavily alter their battle strategy.

Because of that, Jason had decided to enter close combat, attacking one Oceanfolk Elite after another.

In the end, this was easier said than done because the surrounding beasts would certainly retaliate, but as long as there was no group of Peak Prismar stage Cultivators attacking him in a surprise move, this should be fine.

And, given the possibility that some Elite beasts would continue to use their water jets to restrict his movements, they would have to sacrifice their own army to do this.

The battlefield was overcrowded and even in close combat, he might not be able to fight due to the restrictions caused by the crowd of the Ocenfolk army.

However, the same applied to the beasts he would fight.

Rather, if he stood in front of them, the army would unintentionally push him back, while a small gap would be created if the Oceanfolk Elite would pressure the beings behind him to not bump into him.

This would distract the Oceanfolk Elite, which was something Jason hoped would happen once he initiated a fight.

As such, with his plan set in stone, he finished three more plates of food that were stuffed into his mouth before he flew towards his opponent in a vertical line.

Manifesting Byakur in his hand, he didn't release any affinity immediately. Instead, he simply focused on circulating mana through his body while exerting the Floating Sky movement technique.

At the same time, he enhanced his mana circulation speed that increased the potency of his movement technique as he released his Celestia aura while activating the Stigma above his right eye.

With an enhanced mana circulation speed his physique was thoroughly strengthened the moment he circulated mana through his body, only for his speed to increase drastically owing to the Floating Sky movement technique.

Through this, Jason's physical attributes reached the highest possible degree without the use of his fusion with Petri.

Thus, without attracting too much attention, he swiftly told Petri to occupy his mana core, which the Cursed Basilisk did in a moment.

Only a fraction of a second later, a tail began to grow out of his coccyx, and Jason landed on the ground with a deafening thud that stirred up the loose soil below him. A cloud of dust rose around him and he tried his best to not cough.

Using this moment in which he landed on the ground as the perfect distraction, he grabbed two Murlocs using his tail and threw them at one of the Oceanfolk Elite who was standing right in front of him.

With this tactic, Jason wanted to distract the Oceanfolk Elite, who erupted with his own mana, as he leaned forward while a huge battleaxe manifested in his hand.

Brandishing the battleaxe, the Oceanfolk Elite simply ignored the fact that two members of his army were just thrown towards him.

Unbothered by that, he brandished the battleaxe at the Murlocs that were torn apart in pieces as blood, flesh and guts splattered onto the Oceanfolk Elite as an evil smirk began to form on his face.

Just a fraction of a second later, the exhilarated Elite turned around in order to spin his entire body, further increasing his momentum in order to launch an attack with the strongest possible impact with the least amount of effort.

No technique was required, and neither a single special tactic, all he required was brute force, and the efficient use of momentum.

Jason may not be aware of what kind of being he was fighting because it looked like some dark-green scaled, hideous ocean monster that oddly resembled a Kappa, but what he clearly knew was that his battle instincts were not to be taken lightly.

Before, he had been able to defeat his opponents without much of a hassle, but that was not the case anymore because fusing with his soulbonds was not something he could do to fight against every single opponent.

Even if he could, what would that make of him, if he were only able to defeat his opponents while having a higher combat prowess?

With that in mind, Jason gauged the battleaxe's trajectory using the foresight blessing as well as the subtle movements of the Oceanfolk Elite. After that, he shot a pillar of mana out of the ground that sliced the battleaxe into two right from the hilt to the tip of the blade.

Through this, without the use of much mana, he was able to throw his opponent out of balance without using much mana. This forced the hideous looking being to gather his strength for a moment in order to halt the heavy battleaxe that swung in the wrong direction.

Using this moment, Jason didn't hesitate to approach his opponent as a thin black layer of a slightly fluctuating flame enveloped Byakur which he thrust out.

Taking the shortest possible path, he killed the Oceanfolk Elite mercilessly, as warm blood splattered his face.

The foresight blessing made everything easier to be carried out, giving him the chance to save a tremendous amount of mana, which he could use to kill other Oceanfolk Elite.

Other than that, there was still the huge army of the Oceanfolk that ran over their Elite the moment he fell to the ground, burning alive while being trampled over by his own people.

They abandoned their own people quite easily, and Jason felt that he might be able to make use of this once the fights were to become a little bit more dangerous.

With that in mind, his eyes began to gleam as numerous ideas popped up with which he wanted to fight against his opponents.

Yet, instead of doing anything rashly, he analyzed the situation, while slowly going with the flow, walking backwards facing his opponents, while the entire army of the Oceanfolk moved ahead.
