Yune, Milan, and Isga were littered in blood and shallow cuts that had almost been healed.

Meanwhile, Arya looked like she was drained of all her energy, which told Jason that she had to use her healing affinity quite often.

He was not sure what exactly her affinity could do, but he had already seen a similar affinity to hers.

This was the healing affinity he was talking about, and by looking at the shallow cuts on his friends, his assumption should have been correct.

"We...just fought a little bit against someone at the Grandmagus rank...if I can even call it like that..." Yune said slightly hesitating as he looked into Jason's eyes.

Since he and the others had figured out that Jason was able to fight head-on against an Ifrytor that had liquefied 100 drops of mana, their confidence as prodigies from big clans had been shattered.

This was only obvious and Jason would have felt exactly the same if he were to be in his friends' situations.

His advancement had just been too fast, which was all thanks to the fact that he had undergone the first primal awakening of his Celestia bloodline!

If he were to tell them that his soul amplification was currently nullified and that he was able to unseal this nullified state to receive a soul amplification of around 40%, they would probably try to beat him up.

As such, Jason simply smiled when he saw their gazes before he said

"Let's go somewhere quiet, I've to tell you a little information about the Ifrytor race!" 

Thus, 15 minutes had passed and Jason finished his short report after they had found a quiet place.

Everyone felt uncomfortable with the sheer quantity of information about the Ifrytor race that seemed to be hiding in the Yaslörn caves, and Yune couldn't help but ask.

"If their number is already that much, what are they even waiting for? The Yaslörn caves are barely behind Shandra country's borders and I doubt that they're too weak to overwhelm the whole country!

Even the Ariyor should have problems in facing so many Ifrytor at once...That is if the Ifrytor race has brought some of their stronger individuals!"

Isga, Milan, and Arya nodded their heads, while Jason couldn't help but smile when he heard 'stronger individuals'.

Even for a common race, the Prismar stage shouldn't be too difficult to reach and Jason assumed that the Ifrytor race's Prismar stages were either average Ifrytor within their 100s or younger prodigies below that age!

Nevertheless, Yune's question was not without reason.

Jason had yet to find out the reason for the Ifrytor race to hide within the Yaslörn caves instead of attacking the Shandra country directly.

They could either be waiting for more reinforcement, for the best timing to attack, or to ambush other foreign races once they wanted to attack the Shandra country.

In the end, all possibilities were open and it was just a matter of time until they would be able to figure out the truth.

After Yune had asked this question, everyone became silent before they had begun to plan something to ease the Shiabi clan's current situation.

Several hours had passed and a new day had begun when they finished constructing their plan.

"Should we really propose this plan to the Shaibi clan and your masters, Jason?" 

Everyone was uncertain, and even Jason was not sure if their plan was suicidal or clever.

There were multiple plans they had thought about, but the one they wanted to propose to the Shiabi clan patriarch and his masters, or more likely Shane, was the simplest, yet also most efficient.

It was easy and not difficult to understand.

Jason and the others wanted to use Shane's and others' spatial affinity to jump to the border of different countries which they wanted to enter with small groups.

After entering those countries that were the most likely to have strong families and clans that resisted to the foreign races' schemings, they wanted to convince them to gather in the Shandra country.

From then on, they wanted to create a large army to fight against the hostile foreign races, while trying to save as many innocent citizens and clans as possible!

There were several big clans that had been completely submitted to foreign races and this was something Yune and the others wanted to resolve too!

Jason was not sure if that was even possible, considering that it was highly likely that the foreign races forced the highest authorities of those clans to sign certain soul contracts, but he just agreed to it.

Their plan was worth a try, but at the same time, it was extremely dangerous for those teams that were to invade the other countries!

Not only would they have to pay attention to the surrounding foreign races, but even the stronger clans and families they wanted to save, might betray them!

As such, it was more likely that the Shiabi clan patriarch and even Shane rejected their plan.

However, before they were even able to present their plans, everyone received several notifications on their quantum bracelet, which led Jason to look at the other's holographic screen that appeared in front of them.

Jason had destroyed his quantum bracelet when they left Terebrean and now he had to lean in towards Arya, who sat next to him, to see something.

Arya felt weird when she sensed that, but upon noticing that Jason didn't have a quantum bracelet around his wrists, she calmed down as she moved the holographic screen a little bit.

[Strong mana fluctuations have been perceived near the border between the Shandra country and the Drake kingdom! Everyone unable to fight against foreign races, please evacuate, to the rest, please gather in front of the headquarters. It's highly likely that a large-scale battle will occur!]

When Jason read this, he mumbled

"The border to the Drake Kingdom?...The Shandra country is next to the Drake kingdom??? What kind of bad luck is that??"

'I doubt the Drake family patriarch wants to come over….I guess. He shouldn't know about the fact that I or Shane are here too!'

Jason felt uncomfortable with everything that had even remotely to do with the Drake family, clan, and patriarch!

He had yet to find out what happened to Greg, Malia, and the Fler parents, and how they were doing.

His gut feeling told him that they were still alive, but Jason was also aware of the fact that Greg should have been forced into a soul contract with the whole Drake family.

The same might have happened with Malia, and the only thing that Jason could hope for right now was that neither of them would belong to those 'strong mana fluctuations' the notification informed them.

As such, Jason hurried up and rushed to the location they should gather.

If he were to encounter Greg or Malia, which was unlikely, yet possible, he might be able to defeat them, without killing either of them.

This was not the best solution, but the only one Jason could think of.

What else should he do? Abduct Greg and Malia, which might result in them being forced to kill themselves, as it might be demanded in one of the many harsh clauses the soul contract they've signed might state?

He obviously didn't want them to die and it would be better to search for the best solution instead of doing something that might endanger them.

Nevertheless, Jason thought that the possibility of encountering Greg and Malia was small.

Rather than encountering them, there should be something different that approached them from the Drake kingdom's border.

However, the moment Jason had appeared at the meeting point he heard that another notification had arrived.

"There are lots of strong mana fluctuations coming from the Yaslörn caves too!! Are the Ifrytor race also attacking us??"

"Oh shit!" Jason mumbled subconsciously as he noticed that the Ariyor arrived.

They dived down and Fasro, Midra, and Ysla approached him as Fasro explained to Jason the situation they've to face!

"The Ifrytor attacked with a small number of several thousand soldiers, nothing more! Meanwhile, the Myöldra race, which colludes with the Drake family, according to the Shiabi clan's patriarch, seems to take the Shandra country more seriously.

Their number, in addition to the humans next to them, is more than 40,000!"

Jason just nodded his head, not sure what Fasro expected him to say as he got an idea

"What is the average strength of both sides?" 

Fasro wanted to hear a different question, but what Jason asked was fine too.

As such he answered

"The Ifrytor has only utilized a few Prismar stages, while most of the Lique stages have around 100 drops of liquefied mana within them!

Meanwhile, not a single individual within the Myöldra's army has that kind of strength. The weakest should have around 150 drops of liquefied mana inside their mana core with the vast majority being stronger!"

Even though that was bad news, Jason was glad that the Drake clan's army had only individuals above the Low Lique stage! This meant Greg and Malia were definitely not among them!!

As such he sighed in relief before he said confidently

"I can take care of every single Ifrytor below a mana core filled with 100 drops of liquefied mana! As long as I don't have to face other, stronger Ifrytor, I'll be good to go!"

Fasro noticed how confident Jason was as he said

"Alright, I'll tell the Shaibi clan patriarch that a few Ariyor and you will be enough to take care of the Ifrytor's army!"

"Huh?!..." Jason eyed Fasro weirdly as his eyes widened

'Was that what I said?'
