Even though 'Fire of the Black Dragon' was just a name given by Jason to the move the origin flame had created, Solaris had once seen the flame of a true dragon.
This memory had been imprinted into Solaris' mana core, and since then, it had been trying hard to replicate the flame!
The flame itself was devastating enough to eradicate all opponents in front of it.
With that in mind, Jason supported his soulbond completely, transferring a large chunk of his mana to the center of Byakur where Solaris was manifesting.
Absorbing tremendous amounts of mana, Solaris didn't emerge in the shape of a miniature black dragon with golden eyes like usual.
Instead, the seemingly tiny origin flame morphed into a gigantic head of a true dragon that was entirely black, with golden eyes that caused the surrounding Oceanfolk to shiver in fright.
As the oceanfolk stared at the sight in front of them with an aghast look, Solaris emerged completely and opened its gigantic maw in which every single trace of mana had been stored.
Accumulating within Solaris' mouth, the mana was slowly turning black in color, morphing into flames that were forcefully compressed and suppressed, preventing it from being used to attack right off the bat.
Instead, magical changes were occurring within the compressed mana in Solaris mouth, and it was just a moment later that Jason felt as if his arms would break any moment.
Oblivious to Solaris' plan, he didn't realise that his soulbond had already converted every trace of mana into the uniquely developed flames it had learned to create.
As such, Jason was overwhelmed when Solaris spit out a ginormous black flame, enveloped by golden strands that seemed to further enhance the flame's temperature and other properties.
Being pushed backward, Jason had to give his utmost efforts to control his body from falling to the ground or be further pushed back.
Enduring the impact on his arms, Jason thus barely noticed that the ginormous flame crossed the distance of over a hundred meters, burning everything in its wake.
Only the cries of unbearable pain echoed through the surroundings, hinting at Jason as to what was going on.
In the end, Solaris' Fire of the Black Dragon, was a technique it could only use for a second, and the moment it was over, Solaris disappeared, returning back to the Soul world.
Because of that, the scene in front of Jason was partly clear again, as he tried to see amidst the cloud of smoke while the heavy burden on his arms was lifted.
This gave him the first chance to see what was going on.
It was only then that Jason truly realised how strong Solaris still was.
Never had Solaris given up from advancing, yet Jason had thought that his own prowess was exceeding Solaris' capabilities by far.
However, only now did he realise that he had been under the wrong impression all along.
Having burned through hundreds of beings at once, Solaris had only left the beings at the peak of the Prismar stage's second threshold in front of Jason.
And even they were on fire as they were unable to extinguish Solaris' flame that burned through their skin, flesh, and organs.
It was a slow and torturous process, but that was exactly what caused the beings in front of Jason to turn insane as they attacked him, in hopes of extinguishing the flame by killing its supposed wielder.
Some races could create inextinguishable flames, and the only way the flames would die were if the wielder died himself.
However, that was not the case with Jason's flame because he didn't even try to control the flames all around him.
Instead, his mind was free of any burden as it was like the flames had acquired a mind of their own.
There was only the body part manifestation of Petri that was initiated, but it didn't require Jason's complete concentration.
Seeing the area in front of him, Jason couldn't help but think that he had entered hell, as thousands of corpses littered the ground, only for Solaris' flames to continue to burn, extracting every single trace of life force from their body, including nutrition and remaining cultivation energy.
Jason didn't know that Solaris' abilities had developed to such a high extent, but he couldn't complain because the moment these flames were to return into the soul world, Solaris would expel the things it didn't require.
Through this, it provided the purest form of life force for Petri, who could accelerate his cultivation progress using the same.
All of this was great, but Jason knew that the dangers of the entire Oceanfolk attack wave was not over yet.
Rather, it seemed to have just begun.
Nevertheless, Jason had a big advantage now that Solaris' had imbued fear within every single being that witnessed Solaris' action.
This was great, but at the same time burdensome, because there was not a single being that decided to rush towards him, or in the direction of the village behind him.
Thus, Jason had to change his tactic, and attack the intersection at which the mass of the Oceanfolk split up!
Jason was aware of the dangers of this move, but there was nothing else he could do right now.
Using his high passive mana absorption, Jason didn't even have to face a lack of mana.
Instead, he could use his mana rather freely, once the surrounding mana was replenished to some extent.
This would take some time, and instead of waiting, Jason wanted to move in a direction where the surrounding mana hadn't been completely absorbed yet.
With that in mind, Jason circulated mana through his body, while exerting the Floating sky technique. After enhancing it further, the Celestia aura and Stigma were fully unleashed.
Ready to depart, he catapulted himself towards the remaining burning Oceanfolk people, which Jason killed without any remorse.
Afterward, he advanced towards the intersection where the really big masses of the Oceanfolk attack wave were present.
The moment he saw just how many beings were still left, Jason felt that he had wasted Solaris' Fire of the Black Dragon.
It could have increased the impact of the effect several times than before if he could only use it right now.
Unfortunately, that was not feasible because Solaris was utterly exhausted, barely keeping itself away from entering hibernation.
This was something his origin flame had never done before, and it was a sign that clearly demonstrated just how terrifying the Fire of the Black Dragon move must have been to make Solaris enter such an over-exhausted state.
Without reflecting on what he could have done better, Jason shook his head once, setting everything else aside.
Right now, there was something more important to solve, which was to overcome the Oceanfolk attack wave without giving up on the other villages.
This was amongst the most important tasks, right after ensuring his own survival and that of his soulbonds.
As such, after taking a deep breath, Jason was ready to enter the fray of tens of thousand beings that were ready to decimate the villagers and claim the village for themselves.
Even though he had yet to find out why they wanted the valley for themselves, it didn't really matter because his trial simply asked him to protect the villages.
Thus, not waiting to think of the ulterior motives of the Oceanfolk, he tightly enveloped himself with Petri's scales before slashing Byakur at the closest opponent. The quick move beheaded his opponent without giving it even a fraction of a second to react.
With that, several hours of endless slaughter began, turning the entire surrounding into a hellish path of dangers for the Oceanfolk. They could either die or continue their advancement, hoping to pass through Jason with all of their limbs attached!
