God's Eyes

After they got informed about the appearance of the Oceanfolk army, everyone headed towards their designated group before they prepared themselves mentally for the final clash.

Their weapons were cleaned and sharpened and the armors were tightly enveloping their bodies.

Seeing that everyone was following the stated guidelines, Jason turned towards Brell, who nodded his head, indicating to him that he could leave.

In the end, Jason had to observe the army first before he could provoke and lure the strongest units of the Oceanfolk army away from the rest of them.

It was likely that they were spread through the entire army, and defeating all of them at once was nearly impossible.

With that in mind, Jason manifested Artemis' wings before he ascended into the air.

Circulating mana through his entire body, he exerted the Floating sky movement technique.

Using up some mana to do so was now as effortless as breathing owing to the strong passive mana gathering cycle that had been set up in his first sub-area.

The amount of mana he absorbed passively was multiple times what he was currently using.

Thus, his plan to lure out the Oceanfolk Elite wouldn't make him lose any mana.

At least, if their plan worked as they thought it would because it was still unknown how large the entire army of the Oceanfolk would be.

Flying at a high altitude, he inserted some mana into his Emperor Eyes, which allowed him to see nearly everything around him, even if the distance was more.

'They're spreading out more than expected…? Should I be happy about that or not?'

The entire army of the Oceanfolk was spreading out from the riverbank, and the artificially created ponds that were connected to the Ocean.

At first glance, the army looked unorganized because all kinds of marine beasts were moving together, but Jason could clearly see that the Oceanfolk were swarming out in all directions at the same time, with almost the same numbers in each direction.

That was astonishing, but not something Jason should be bothered about. However, the annoying factor was that the stronger marine beasts were covering a large distance with every step that was only increasing as they spread apart the more they went ahead.

An endless stream of beings continued to emerge from the Ocean inside the valley every second, and Jason knew that he had to act now, or it would already be too late.

Focusing on provoking the Elite that were marching towards the shelter, and the surrounding, Jason didn't hesitate to approach the army.

Clashing with it would be interesting, and extremely dangerous, but Jason was flying, which was not something any of the present beasts of the Oceanfolk army was doing.

Thus, he could simply manifest hundreds of small and thin icicles that were enhanced by the moonlight ability that was at its peak owing to the full silver moon.

His mana consumption was minuscule, and he shot the hundreds of icicles towards the army of the Oceanfolk without hesitation.

In the end, Jason didn't even have to aim because he knew that his icicles would hit dozens if not more than hundreds of marine beasts.

The crowd of beings was simply too dense and overflowing with beasts that were not even able to evade or do anything else than advancing if they didn't want to be run over by their own.

Because of that Jason's simple attack turned into a mass murder tool that faintly injured their opponents before freezing them.

The attack he had initiated could only injure beings at the Low Prismar stage, but that didn't worry him owing to the fact that the vast majority of the Oceanfolk's army was at that rank.

He also spotted beings at the Lique stage, but Jason didn't even pay them any attention.

Instead, he was staring at the beings at the Peak Prismar stage, and nobody else!

They were the only opponents he would have to truly fight because everyone else would succumb to his blade within a single strike.

Nevertheless, Jason was glad that he had yet to see a beast at the Ascendion stage which told him that it was unlikely for such a being to appear out of nowhere.

That was, however, under the assumption that he correctly interpreted the difficulty of the second trial.

Maybe in the following trials, such an existence would appear, but the chances of that happening now were slim.

With that in mind, Jason didn't need to be alarmed, which gave him the necessary focus to pay attention to the Oceanfolk's army that noticed him after his first attack.

After his first batch of icicles, a second one followed suit, killing dozens of beasts in the blink of an eye.

However, even that was not enough to provoke the Elite of the Oceanfolk, which astonished Jason.

Right now, he was still trying to save his mana which was why he attacked with means that didn't require too much mana.

As such, he attacked the Oceanfolk's army with a few more volleys of hundreds of icicles.

Yet, the Elite seemed to be unbothered because only their weak units were dying.

Or that was at least what Jason assumed to be the Elite's reasoning to not counterattack. Even he knew that it was not difficult to identify that his attacks were not strong enough to injure anyone at and above the Mid Prismar stage.

Owing to this, Jason switched his strategy from attacking the masses to attacking individual beasts.

First, he didn't do much, and simply created single icicles, and cranked up their freezing property to the peak.

Other than that, the icicles' sharpness was increased, while their sturdiness was barely enough to break apart only after they had pierced through their target's hide or skin.

With that Jason attacked the marine beasts at the Mid Prismar stage, using the freezing icicles that tore through their skin before slowly freezing them, reaching the deepest parts of their bodies.

Shooting out ten of such icicles had the same mana consumption as the volley of hundreds of icicles.

Thus, Jason was still able to save his mana, which was quite advantageous for the following hours, and the next step on his new plan.

After attacking a total of ten marine beasts at the Mid Prismar stage, he was finally able to gain the Elite's attention.

Whether they saw him as an ant, a nuisance, or a real threat didn't matter, but when the first Elite of the Ocenfolk ascended into the air in order to approach him, Jason knew that he had to hasten his plan's progress.

With that in mind, Jason used a little bit more mana than he initially wanted to in order to manifest fireballs made of black flames which he threw in the direction of all the other Oceanfolk Elite, he could reach for now.

The number was relatively small and only aimed at a total of 10 Elites, but after seeing his attack, all of them turned towards him in rage.

This was great, and Jason ascended higher in the air before he began to retreat slowly. Brell and the others were probably already waiting for him and the first batch of Elite that they had to fight.

Thus, Jason continued to attack them, using fireballs that required less mana as he continued to retreat. After firing the third volley of fireballs towards the Elite, they were finally provoked to the point that they were unable to hold back anymore.

Catapulting themselves into the air, they clumsily flew towards him.

Their experience in flying in the air was visible to Jason's eye, and he was relatively sure that he was strong enough to defeat the Elite by himself as long as they would fight in the air.

However, owing to the fact that he had no time to waste, Jason flew towards the small open field Brell and the others had prepared.

This wouldn't take much time under normal circumstances, and Jason would have loved to not waste his time by continuing to provoke the Oceanfolk Elite while flying towards the open field where he could already see Brell.

Unfortunately, the Mewi were unable to fly, which made it extremely difficult for them to pick out the strongest opponents without being overrun by the army of the Oceanfolk.

Thus, it had become Jason's mission to split up the Ocenafolk's elite before bringing them to Brell, which was exactly what he had just done.

Afterward, he could leave as the Mewi kept the Peak Prismar stage marine beasts occupied.

Because of his brilliant tactic, the first clash between the Mewi and the Oceanfolk's army had been initiated.

Yet, Jason was not satisfied because the Mewi were already struggling a lot even while facing less than 1/10th of the Oceanfolk army's Elite.

With that realization, Jason knew that he had to do something.

As such, he smiled lightly as he mumbled,

"Maybe, it's time to hasten up?"
