A few days flew by and everyone had prepared themselves for the last devastating battle of the Great Argos war!
There was nobody who could prevent being scared or nervous about the unknown future that was right in front of them.
Nevertheless, mankind's situation was not as bad as it was ought to be after the Blood eclipse.
This was all thanks to the Elvyr race's embassy with their high mana core rank that was much higher than the mana core rank of the other foreign races.
As long as they had enough mana, their strength should be enough to defeat every possible opponent of the Drake alliance.
The only unknown factor was about how much mana they would have to use to fight against the Burane race, how versatile their combat styles were due to their young age and whether the unknown beast inside the ocean, whose existence had been confirmed, would act up!
While the others were extremely nervous, Jason decided to spend some more time with friends in order to calm himself down.
Even though they wanted to help, they didn't join the last battle because their death would be certain.
On one side they were jealous of Jason because he was able to defend himself, however, on the other hand, he had lost so much despite being strong, that it was wondrous how Jason was still able to have enough strength to stand back up.
In the end, Yune, Milan, and Isga hadn't lost anyone during the last two years in which their parents had severed the soul contract with the foreign races, and even the Blood eclipse brushed past them too!
This was fortunate, but it didn't mean that nothing was to happen to them in the future.
The number of casualties was destined to be in the millions, and there had yet to be a side at the upper hand.
If someone would have a much higher combat prowess, it was not unlikely for the other side to give up, but as if it was destined, both sides were evaluated as equally strong.
As such, the only way to figure out which side was the strongest was to go on the battlefield!
Yune, Milan, and Isga decided that they would console Jason if he were to be in fright or desperate.
However, he didn't need to be consoled or motivated to fight against the Drake alliance, instead, he told his friends something important.
"Once the Great Argos war is over, you guys should tell your parents and the entire clan to stop colluding with foreign races.
Furthermore, it would be better for the slave market to never appear again!"
From Jason's behavior, they noticed that he was serious.
Thus, the others just nodded despite knowing that their authority, inside the big clan they hailed from, was currently insignificant.
Milan was likely to become the next patriarch of the Jule clan, but that was only the case if he were to be strong and retain his great potential.
Nevertheless, everyone felt the need to agree with Jason because they knew that it was important.
Furthermore, they could tell from his stance, that these words were more like a warning, and not a request!
Jason had changed since losing his dear soulbond and masters, thus the three friends knew what he would do if the big clans wouldn't listen to him.
He might not be strong enough right now, but who knew how long it would take for Jason to become strong enough to face the heads of the big clans and sects?
The rumors labeled Jason as someone god-like, able to defeat a big clan prodigy who had almost broken into the Lord rank with barely 20 drops of liquefied mana in his mana core!
There were only a few people that believed this rumor, but Yune, Isga, and Milan were one of the few people that did.
This was also because of their parents that told them the truth about the incident, thus they knew that Jason was not only the gentle and calm youth he had been before!
He had overcome many threats and his mindset had forcefully been altered.
At that moment, an announcement resounded through all camps.
"Attention please! Attention please!
Everyone who will join the big clans and sects on the battlefield, please gather in your assigned groups! The Argos alliance will depart in two hours! Dying is no option, only surviving and never stop striving for more!"
Jason smiled lightly when he heard the message as he mumbled
"Surviving and never stop striving for more...is that so…"
After that, he stood up from the chair he had been sitting before he bid farewell to his friends.
They wished him good luck before they dispersed too in order to search for their family whom they wanted to wish good luck too.
When he left the tent, Jason manifested Artemis' wings on his back as he flew towards the direction of the Nua and Eara clans' meeting point.
Less than half an hour passed before he arrived and Artemis' wings dispersed as she appeared right next to him.
Her stigma was spreading on the surface of her pitch-black horns, highlighting them even more.
However, nobody was paying attention to Artemis, who was in her small form, squeezed on Jason's shoulder.
Rather than that, everyone was busy paying attention to themselves, trying to disperse the fear within them, while taking a last glance at their weapons.
Everyone knew their task and so did Jason. As such he didn't approach anyone, and simply waited while eating high-nutritious food.
He didn't know when he would be able to eat for the next time, as such, it was better to have eaten his fill.
It was only when he had eaten several plates of premade food that he had stored in his spatial rings that Jason decided to look out for the Nua clan matriarch.
Apparently, she had survived the Blood eclipse which was not the case for the Eara clan's patriarch, and some of their clan members at the Prismar stage.
This was unfortunate, however, it was great that the rest of the clan didn't separate, but that they continued to fight against the Drake alliance!
Only a few minutes passed before his mana eyes found the familiar mana fluctuations of the Nua clan matriarch.
However, when he saw how many higher authorities were standing around her, asking all kinds of questions, Jason couldn't help but sigh.
Since many big clan heads, their representatives and lots of higher authorities of big clans and sects had been killed, it has become more difficult to have everything under control.
This was clearly noticeable right before their departure, and instead of increasing the Nua clan matriarch's pressure further, Jason decided that it was enough for him to know that he had to take care of every single Ifrytro and Ifry with less than 1000 drops of liquefied mana in their mana core.
He might have to rely on the others to protect him from those at the late Lique- and Prismar stage, but Jason knew that everyone was fully aware of this.
Not only was this announced several times, but Jason seemed to have turned into the most important asset against the IFrytor and Ifry race since he had demonstrated how powerful he and his weapons, Kumo and Degar, were.
Other than that there were many big clan heads that knew from which direction the divine light, which had saved many humans when the Blood eclipse occurred, came from.
As such, they assumed that it might have been Jason who caused this divine light to appear as the Elvyr race's embassy seemed to be focusing their attention on him too!
These were only assumptions, but connecting all dots allowed me to understand that Jason was not as simple as one thought!
Jason didn't even know how fast time passed, as everything had been settled.
However, what astonished him greatly was the fact that four Prismar stages had been deployed to stay by his side.
This was something unexpected and it was only when one of the bodyguards next to him told him that the Nua clan matriarch said that Jason's fire ability and weapons were too important to lose that he understood what the matriarch was trying to achieve.
'Am I turning into some sort of asset?'
Jason was teasing himself, but despite doing so, he had realized that the matriarch was able to overcome the pressure weighing her down, much better than he had expected!
She could think rationally, and determine that Jason was important to protect against the Ifrytor, even if she probably disliked him for defeating Dala Nua in front of everyone.
