God's Eyes Chapter 577 - Aerial

The average cultivation base of the opponents he would have to face at once was at the mid 7th Lique stage.
This may not seem like much, considering how strong Jason was, but every single of the 49 opponents in the first round of the battle royale was extremely strong, allowing them to reach an average combat prowess of the 10th Lique stage!!
If every single one of them would attack him at once, Jason wouldn't have a way to emerge victoriously.
However, he had already set up a plan, which allowed him to make use of the large number of different races that should have been told to attack him first!
Unfortunately, attacking someone with a total of 48 other individuals couldn't be described as the most intelligent move, which was what Jason wanted to make use of.
The races inside the arena were the Hrans, Klarirs, Dragonewts, IIlians, and the demi-human races called Tigron, Hamaa, Fyrmn, and Lizr.
Thus, with a total of 8 races that were also preying on each other, it would be quite difficult to overwhelm Jason, even more so with the different combat styles and ways they would approach him.
It didn't take long before everyone had gathered and the spectators were already eager to witness how the first round of the new tournament called battle royale would start!
Everyone knew that the first round was the most important because the strongest prodigies of all races were present.
Whether this was intentional or not, nobody cared as it was exciting to look at!
The fighting ground was the entire interior space of the colosseum which was more than enough place for a total of 50 participants to fight against each other at a time.
Jason didn't really care where he should position himself before the battle royale started because it wouldn't matter much either way.
However, instead of eyeing everyone at once, Jason only looked at the buff Dragonewt, who was the strongest amongst his peers.
Smiling lightly, he couldn't help but feel that he and the dragonewts had one particular trait that made them the best target for the first step in his plan.
With that thought in mind, he smiled lightly as the start of the first battle royale was initiated.
While the others utilized their affinity by throwing an elemental attack at him, ginormous black flame wings sprouted out of his back before he catapulted himself several meters in the air.
Flapping the black flame wings, he continued to ascend before he reached an altitude of 50 meters.
It was still possible for him to reach a higher altitude because the colosseum had no ceiling, but instead of doing something unnecessarily, he smiled at the dragonewt prodigy.
"Karn, how about a small fight in the sky?"
Karn was the name of the dragonewt's most talented youngest prodigy, who had a cultivation base at the Low 8th Lique stage.
His dragon bloodline was said to be higher than other dragonewts, while his family made it possible for him to stay in the Broken world for a longer time than others.
There, he was rumored to have increased his cultivation base at a rapid pace, while focusing on his combat training!
As such, everything Jason could see thanks to his Emperor Eyes was the basic foundation of his opponent and not his entire combat prowess.
Karn didn't have a special constitution like Jarid, but based on the dragonewt's aura that Jason perceived, he could tell that Karn was an even more dangerous opponent.
Thus, he wanted to fight him first in order to be able to move in the air to recuperate from possible injuries or exhaustion without the fear of someone strong pursuing him.
To defeat Karn, allowing Solaris to enter Jason's mana core was the best option due to the black origin flame's superiority.
At least, Jason hoped his flame to be superior and hoped that it would enable him to take advantage of the dragonewt prodigy.
In the end, the first step of his plan worked as expected and the dragonewts including Karn used their wings to ascend into the sky.
There had yet to be a prodigy below the age of 50 who was able to solidify their first prismarine crystal, allowing them to break into the Prismar stage.
As such, nobody except the dragonewts and those that were able to manifest elemental wings on their back could fly.
If another prodigy were to follow him and the dragonewts, this wouldn't be a problem for him because he didn't have to focus on his black flame wings as Solaris was shaping them, lifting a huge burden from Jason's shoulders.
The other prodigies without wings would have to use their concentration to shape and sustain elemental wings.
Because of that, there were only five dragonewts with an average cultivation base at the 7th Lique stage and Karn in the front, smiling arrogantly at him.
"You shouldn't have done that! Escaping into the sky might seem like a smart strategy, but you just gave up on creating chaos on the ground!
Forcing them to fight each other might be logical, but you will never be able to defeat them, let alone escape me and the others behind me!"
Though Karn was arrogant, he was rational enough to tell the other dragonewts to join the fight and help him defeat Jason.
This was something logical, but he had seen idiots that gave up on their advantages because of their pride, more often than he wanted to acknowledge.
"How about we fight instead of talking rubbish?"? Jason asked with a sly smile before he manifested a dozen black flame spears.
He could control them as if it didn't take him any effort and the large black flame wings behind him flapped twice, catapulting him to the front.
Jason didn't hesitate to confront Karn directly despite his high cultivation base. As such, the young dragonewt prodigy couldn't help but feel excitement igniting within him as his entire body released bright red flames.
"Nobody shall hold back!! Attack!"
Upon hearing Karn the five dragonewts behind him unleashed their flames that enveloped them slowly which was entirely different to Karn, whose control over his affinity was exceptional in comparison.
Karn had already manifested multiple fireballs which he shot towards Jason, without needlessly moving them around to show off his control.
At least that was what Karn had assumed about Jason's trick, only to see a bright smile on his face.
Even though Karn was at the 8th Lique stage, his affinity was only slightly stronger.
He was not a dragon whose affinity was stronger than their cultivation base, and neither had he inherited someone's affinity as Jason had!
Thus, Solaris' black flames were innately stronger than Karn's!
While Jason was still moving around the spears of black flames, he was already planning something in advance.
Thus, he threw a few of them towards the fireballs that approached him with a rapid pace, destroying them easily.
This caused a thin smokescreen to form temporarily, preventing anyone from seeing the other side.
At least that was what Karn expected as he shot through the smokescreen appearing right in front of Jason, who was empty-handed, while he had already manifested a gigantic broadsword out of his affinity!
This was extremely difficult and Jason would have acknowledged this feat, if not for the waste of precious mana.
As such, instead of doing the same, Jason simply summoned Byakur which he enveloped in a thin layer of Solaris' black flames before he made use of the biggest advantage both of them had!
Even though Solaris and Jason were considered one entity, their minds worked separately.
Thanks to that, it was possible for multiple complex tasks to occur at the exact same time!
While Jason clashed with Karn, who saw an opportunity for his subordinates to finish off the young human, Jason just smiled as a glint of slyness could be seen in his eyes that seemed to say,
'Thanks for walking right into my trap!'
At that moment, Karn wanted to warn the other dragonewts, telling them to stay away from Jason, only to realise that it was already too late.
The five dragonewts had already gathered around Jason in a loose circle and were ready to severely injure him with the shortswords they had manifested out of the fire they controlled.
While they brandished their swords at Jason, his smile only widened, which told them something was wrong. It took the five dragonewts a moment to realise that time seemed to have slowed down as they realised that they had missed something essential!
'How could it be so easy for us to appear next to him??'
