Jason was sure that Solaris was absorbing the weird flames that had been nurtured by life force, but he has yet to figure out what the use was.

However, he had to take care of the unconscious Ifrytor and Ifry too. Before anything else, Jason had damaged the Ifry's mana core too, preventing any possible accidents to happen.

After that, he wanted to look out for their storage devices or spatial rings! There was something he wanted to figure out without asking them.

As such, it was easier to look at the spatial ring without being forced to intimate or even torture them.

It was still confusing to Jason that he didn't feel much by killing the Ifry, which were in fact transformed humans but after the initial disgust, there was nothing he had to worry about.

This made him neither too comfortable nor uncomfortable and it could be described as a weird balance.

As such he had decided that it was not something he should pay too much attention to, and he should rather look out for spatial devices!

Not even a minute passed and he found two spatial rings on the unconscious Ifrytor and one on the Ifry, only to notice that he was unable to access them.

'It's interesting to see that they use spatial rings too, but I should have expected that I won't be able to access them'

Jason knew that the IFrytor and Ifry's mana fluctuations were imprinted into the spatial rings and it would be weird for someone else to be able to access them.

With that in mind he turned towards the burning corpses that caused a disgusting stench to permeate the air.

'Their spatial rings should be accessible and with some useful information!'

Because he was unaffected by Solaris' flames, Jason could act without being restricted.

As such, less than 10 minutes had passed before Jason had gathered 11 spatial rings.

At the same time, Solaris had already finished absorbing the unknown flame, Jason had called pseudo-origin flames.

This was not their name but he was sure that he would figure out the truth soon.

Skimming through the 11 spatial rings whose mana fluctuation imprints had dissipated with their owner's death, Jason couldn't help but frown.

'They're not...necessarily poor, but that's just in comparison to humans... Was my assumption right, and they're common soldiers that attempt to gather their first combat experience??'

Within the spatial rings, there was a total of several tens of thousand mana stones, but compared to the wealth real, human prodigies possessed, the average of all 11 spatial rings he had found shouldn't be much more than they had!

Other than a few additional cultivation resources, Jason assumed to be used for body refinement, or to nurture their flame, every Ifrytor and Ifry possessed the same cultivation manual!

This cultivation manual was a unique body refining technique called Creato's hellflame. From that, Jason could tell that this technique had something to do with the flames his opponents had harbored.

He looked through the first few pages of the introductory part.

It was advantageous that he was a halfling from the Celestia race and not a pure human because he understood everything written inside the body refining manual.

However, Jason could only shake his head when he was done reading because he could tell that the Creato's hellflame body refining technique was even worse than his.

Jason had already expected that the Netherworld's forte technique was bad because it increased his physical strength equal to 10 drops of liquefied mana after he had entered the first stage.

This was less than Jason had hoped to receive, but from what he read the increase of one's physical strength after completing the infant phase was less than 5 drops of liquefied mana!

The Creato flame that would be created and nurtured within one's body by using the Creato's hellflame body refining technique was only suitable to the Ifrytor race and other races would receive severe backlashes, even if it would seem different in the beginning!

When Jason read this, he could tell that his assumption about the Creato flame within the transformed humans was not entirely correct.

The Ifrytor race didn't nurture the Creato flames within humans to use them for themselves, but it was more likely that the Ifry were the test objects, with which the Ifrytor had tried out a few things.

However, when he read further, this didn'T seem to be correct too, because Creato flame's could devour each other and nurture themselves through this.

'It's as if the Ifrytor race wants to experiments with humans while reaping benefits!'

Because he didn't want to continue misinterpreting the situation, Jason decided that his last assumption was correct until he got to know the truth.

After that, he transferred the content of all 11 spatial rings into his own before he laid them aside.

Once he was done, Jason manifested Artemis' wings after she had entered his mana core before he soared into the sky.

There was no need to waste any more time and Jason could tell that it was better to depart as soon as possible.

Who could know when stronger reinforcement might arrive?

Jason couldn't perceive anyone in the surrounding two kilometers, but nobody could reassure him that there was nobody with a spatial affinity.

He had to manifest Artemis' talons once again and grasped the unconscious Ifrytor and Ifry tightly without bothering about being too careful.

While flying, his thoughts lingered around the possibility, Emily had already issued a while before!

"They're definitely poor, even if it looks like a lot for us, and their combat experience was almost non-existent...Does that mean Emily was right? Do some races plan to use our planet as a training ground? Isn't that almost as if they're damaging themselves? From what I can tell, most foreign races on Argos are roughly equal in their combat prowess...."

Jason mumbled all kinds of possibilities that appeared in his mind, and there was only one solution that made sense to him.

"There are three groups consist of the races that want to enslave humans, take them for themselves, without sharing, and those who want to prevent a single race from being able to reign over humans.

Meanwhile, the third faction seems to be a hellish training camp with a high death rate.

That would, however, indicate that their death didn't matter to the whole race, while the benefits had to be much higher in comparison!"

It was not difficult to tell that those three factions were a bad combination because all races amongst these three factions would attack each other, and Jason doubted that they bothered about a few million if not a billion casualties.

They should be aware of mankind's ability to procreate fast, while several hundred years were nothing to those races.

As such, Jason could only hope that the foreign races wouldn't send out their elite and strong powerhouses to Argos

Instead, they should send their common soldiers, or those that were in training to become the elite of their race!

It was difficult to figure out the real reason for every race to appear and wage war against everyone on Argos, but Jason could tell that he was slowly approaching the truth.

This should have made him happy, but from what he could tell, the truth was nothing to be happy about!

After he flew towards the location where Shane and the others were, he extinguished his stigma's glow before he descended.

The whole battle was already over and Jason could see many humans gathering spatial rings without bothering about the people from a foreign race that stood next to them.

Descending slowly, it was not difficult to notice his approach.

If his masters and Emily weren't next to a middle-aged man who was talking with them, Jason would have been a little bit nervous.

Yet, because he could tell that the foreign race he saw was the mysterious race that had teamed up with the Shiabi clan, Jason was able to stay calm.

At the same time, his masters' calmness helped him to maintain this state and Jason landed on the ground after he loosened the grasp around the Ifrytor and Ifry.

Artemis' talons and wings disintegrated and Jason could only see that everyone eyed him with vigilance until they noticed that he was a human with a fortified soul conjunction.

This was however not less weird because Jason looked like he was not even 20 years old.

Fortunately, Jason didn't care about their curious and envious gazes as he dragged the two unconscious people behind him.

When Shane noticed him, Jason couldn't help but smile lightly

"I'm done and brought two presents with me!"
