Chapter 813 - Manipulated Mind
Chapter 813 – Manipulated Mind
After being fused with Artemis, his moonlight and ice affinity became the strongest.
They were enhanced by the Arctic aura and stigmas that were fully unleashed.
Furthermore, Solaris had turned into a sky blue frozen flame that had the strongest properties of the black origin flame.
It was strengthened by the ice affinity and additional traits such as an enhanced freezing property.
Through this, Jason was confident that the combination of Solaris turning into a frozen flame, followed by all enhancing factors in addition to the divine energy were more than enough to defeat the Celestia puppet.
Despite that, it was easier to say that one could defeat the Celestia puppet than it was truly the case.
That was, in fact, because Jason had previously been able to use his physical strength to an advantage followed by his curses and the abyssal effect.
Unfortunately, these means had failed the Celestia puppet.
Because of that, he had been forced to change his entire combat style that was initially geared towards strengthening his curses to the highest degree as well as enhancing his physical strength.
Now instead of fusing with Petri to do the above, he started competing with the Celestia puppet in terms of elemental attacks.
With that in mind, Jason felt that he had a slight advantage over the Celestia puppet.
His opponent had to transmute its mana to a specific element before it could use this as an affinity.
On the other hand, Jason's mana was already transmuted to the ice and moonlight affinity.
This was possible only owing to the fusion, otherwise, his mana would also be neutral.
Under normal circumstances, his mana would be transmuted naturally owing to the multiple affinities he had.
Despite the norm, Jason hadn't awoken these affinities innately, and he only owned them as long as his soulbonds were bound to his soul world, and alive.
As such, his mana was not transmuted…or at least he assumed that to be the case.
Yet, in the end, he knew that this was not the truth because on Argos, the humans with a soul world and soulbonds that had an affinity owed transmuted mana.
That would mean that Jason's mana was unique and that it was more likely for his Celestia bloodline to prevent his mana from being transmuted.
This was interesting but at the same time shocking because it would mean that his bloodline had been meddling in his life without his knowledge.
Ironically, his Celestia bloodline that had been sealed completely was the reason for him being exceptionally strong yet restricted in some aspects since his birth.
However, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable this seemed to be.
A faint smile appeared on Jason's face because it was advantageous for him to have neutral mana.
If it were to be transmuted, the black fire and ice affinity would repulse each other, creating more issues in the past.
According to Jennifer, who had two differently transmuted affinities in her body, allowing her affinities to get to know each other was much more difficult than one could think.
It was an arduous task that took a long time, even for someone who had reached the Peak of the Prismar stage at the age of 25!
If not for her repulsive mana, Jennifer would have reached this stage much earlier.
While thinking about this, Jason couldn't help but be a little bit flabbergasted to compare himself to her.
She was currently 23 years old, and still absorbing the necessary mana in order to solidify the dome crystal. Meanwhile, Jennifer, who was 25, had already constructed her dome crystal.
Considering his talent, he should have been much faster.
This was apparent when he compared himself to someone who had three cultivation paths that demanded her to solidify a dome crystal.
Yet, Jennifer's talent seemed to be more terrifying the more he thought about it, making him believe that she was even more talented than prodigies of higher races.
To him, she seemed to be a cut above the rest and Jason grew excited to see her once again.
He believed that the inheritance she received would have allowed her strength to skyrocket.
Nevertheless, before he would meet her again, it was important for him to increase his strength too!
He had his own set of difficulties while cultivating owing to the many things he had to pay attention to, including the fact that he required three times more mana to do the same as someone who normally cultivated.
With that in mind, Jason faced the Celestia puppet head-on, determined to become much stronger than he currently was in order to face Jennifer.
Yet, at that moment, he also wondered if she would even remember him because they had hardly spent weeks with each other.
On top of it, and it had already been a few years since they had not even seen each other.
Unfortunately, while he was distracted by the various thoughts that appeared in his mind, the Celestia puppet began to attack him with numerous elemental attacks in a surprise move.
It was only at that moment when he was dragged out of his train of thoughts that his Emperor Eyes perceived something that caused Jason to curse under his breath.
'The…Celestia puppet used some affinity to force me to enter a…trance? Is that it?'
Jason was momentarily confused, but it made sense because it was unlikely for the Celestia race to only use Elemental attacks.
Nevertheless, Jason hadn't expected that the Celestia puppet could make him think about certain things without making him realize.
There hadn't been a single sign that his mind had been influenced by something.
It was because of this that he turned more vigilant, and made use of his Emperor Eyes that had turned sky blue owing to his fusion with Artemis.
While staring at the Celestia puppet, he evaded all the attacks with swift movements.
Merging Artemis' wings, with his physical strength and flexibility, allowed him to remain unscathed.
Afterward, Jason began to retaliate by manifesting all kinds of ice attacks without hesitation.
He had yet to use the Frozen flame but that was something he wanted to save for the moment the Celestia puppet would show its weakness to him.
In fact, Jason had already noticed one of its weaknesses, which was its physical strength that was lower than his own.
Unfortunately, it was not easy to make use of this because the elemental attacks the puppet created became fiercer and more precise the closer he reached it.
With that in mind, he simply created icicles that shot towards the Celestia puppet.
Yet, at the same time, he also shot icicles in a completely different direction to that of his opponent, but that was not something the Celestia puppet noticed.
In the end, these icicles he threw in a different direction harbored a trace of the frozen flame that glued to the ground once they came in touch with it.
Through this, Jason aimed to change the Celestia puppet's surroundings completely, wearing it down the moment he would create a counteroffensive that could defeat it directly.
Like this, he would be able to fight the last puppet and end the trial with a clean winning streak.
