Two weeks had passed since the five big clans and the Ariyor race had defeated the small four-race alliance.
They had rescued the Lyran race and the Greil clan, whom they brought to the Shandra country.
During the last two weeks, Jason's strength increased by a small margin, with three new liquefied drops of mana.
Other than that, Petri had received the life force Solaris had absorbed which thickened the white evolution cocoon around his body.
The cocoon enlarged, but Jason was aware that this was just Petri increasing in size.
He felt that Petri's curses were changing too, and it was more difficult to utilize them during the metamorphosis they seem to undergo.
However, it was still possible, and Jason practiced his martial art skills while utilizing every means he had at hand to become stronger.
Since he had barely defeated the Doom Crawl that had 400 drops of liquefied mana in its mana core, Jason had become more careful about the utilization of all of his abilities at once.
He had to, otherwise, it was likely that he had to suffer a lot!
A single mistake could decide over life and death!
Thus, Jason wanted to be perfectly prepared, knowing what he could do, and what he had to pay attention to.
Nevertheless, he had stopped practicing the Devious Swordmaster martial art technique because he noticed that it was filled with flaws.
It sounded ridiculous to himself, but the Tier-2 martial art technique had become child's play to him.
At least that was how it felt since he had awoken the Celestia race's bloodline within him.
The only technique he wanted to improve was the weightless steps technique which was probably because it was the cloned, yet flawed version of the Grier family's Floating sky movement technique!
This movement technique was a technique belonging to a foreign race and more profound than any technique the human race had ever made.
Unfortunately, Jason did not get his hand on this technique, and there was only one sequence he remembered about it.
Nevertheless, the last two weeks were extremely interesting for Jason in other aspects too!
He had forged lots of different alloys and all kinds of small objects he had never heard about before.
Yet, they seemed to be important in order to help Mike in manufacturing the weapons according to Jason's needs!
There were many things Mike had to pay attention to, however, the most important was the amount of force it could execute.
After Jason had explained how he shot the black fire bullets and that it was essential for him to involve his black fire affinity into every single of his bullets!
There was no need for him to use ammunition, but Mike told him that it would reduce his mana consumption.
At the same time, this made everything easier about adjusting the amount of utilized mana according to his opponent's strength as he would use unitary bullets that were customized for him.
Mike had manufactured two weapons for him and both were desert eagles.
One of them was black in color, looking like a normal desert eagle if one were to disregard the numerical runes inscribed on it while strong mana currents radiating from the desert eagle's materials!
Meanwhile, the other desert eagle had a wider barrel than the first one and was red in color. The number of runes inscribed on it was higher while the mana currents radiating from it were denser.
In the beginning, Jason was not sure what exactly the difference between those weapons had been, but the results by testing both desert eagles out were shocking!
The black desert eagle used the smaller bullets that required less mana than the second type of large, armor-piercing bullets the red desert eagle could utilize.
While summoning a compressed black flame at the barrel's mouth, he inserted some mana into the desert eagle's ammunition before shooting them out.
Because he had already faintly utilized Solaris' black flame affinity while filling the ammunition with mana, the compressed black flame at the mouth of the barrel ignited the ammunition that was enveloped in a faint membrane of mana.
While manufacturing the desert eagles and ammo for them, Mike and Jason had to plan out several scenarios and it was the most important to prevent any accidents from occurring.
However, what they hadn't expected was that they created devastating weapons that were strong enough to kill most opponents Jason would have to face in the near future.
While he could use Kumo, how he called the black desert eagle, in order to shoot several times in succession, without the need to use up too much mana, Degar, the red desert eagle, was for the stubborn opponents with high defense capabilities!
Both weapons were made out of the best materials Jason could procure from the big clans and he just had to exchange mana stones or body refinement techniques with some translations within them.
He translated them by himself which allowed him to receive huge amounts of resources and everything else he required in exchange for the translations!
To most big clans it didn't even matter how compatible their descendants were to those body refinement manuals.
This was because everyone had started to become desperate and Jason's translated body refinement manuals were a safe path to become a little bit stronger within a short period!
If there hadn't been a war, Jason would have refrained from translating the body refining manuals he found within the spatial rings of the deceased foreign races, but mankind's stance against the Drake clan and M?lydra race was worse than he had initially expected.
Furthermore, nobody knew that he had translated the manuals because there were only a few that knew about his capabilities! He had just used the Ariyor race to find a scapegoat for his lie and everything else had been perfectly fine!
Two weeks had passed and the M?lydra race alliance had already annihilated three more big clans and races on their conquest through Canir!
Weirdly enough, it seemed like the My?ldra race wanted to save Shane, the six big clans, the Ariyor race, and now the Lyran race for the end!
This gave them enough time to prepare themselves which was the weird point!
Why would the My?ldra race even allow this?
The only somewhat feasible answer was that Jael Drake wanted to take Shane and the rest down when their last ray of hope had been extinguished.
However, how could Jael Drake, who had been manipulated by the My?ldra race comprehend that this decision was what would make him suffer even more!
Standing on the shooting range he took a look at the two types of ammo Mike had already manufactured for him.
One type of ammo was for Kumo to use in order to shoot several bullets in short succession without losing out strength that was comparable to a mid Lique stage, while the other ammo required a huge amount of mana, however, it was strong enough to pierce through materials that were said to be as strong as a Lord rank, or late Lique stage would be.
Right now, Jason was unable to use both weapons for too long because his mana consumption was still too high, but the sheer impact caused by the desert eagles was enough to be astonished.
The bullets he used would be enveloped in Solaris' black flames, immediately after they left the barrel.
Burning through the mana membrane surrounding the ammunition, Jason and Mike had only perceived that the bullet pierced into its target before it had exploded!
This had astonished both, but Jason's mana eyes had perceived what had happened!
The moment after the bullets pierced into the target, the mana weakened mana membrane that had been burned by Solaris' flame had completely vanished.
This caused a chain reaction and the used ingredients to construct the desert eagle's ammo inflated and exploded!
Literally everything about those two desert eagles was expensive, but the price was definitely worth the results he obtained.
Manufacturing the weapons took the longest, but even the ammunition was not easy to produce.
As such Jason was told to be careful when using it.
However, how should Mike have known that Jason was not known for being careful or stingy when it came to fighting against his opponents!
If it was helpful, Jason would use hundreds of bullets in order to attack and kill his enemies as long as he was able to survive or rescue someone!
This was just how he was.
Despite being seen as extremely young and weak, Jason knew better than anyone else that the number of liquefied drops of mana within one's mana core was only one of several indicators to determine one's strength!
