When Dala Nua and the Nua clan matriarch heard what Merl Arths said, they were immediately enraged and frustrated.
Dala wanted to voice out her anger, but the matriarch was able to refrain her from doing so.
"Calm down and demonstrate to them that this youth is nothing but an ant! Defeat him in an overwhelming manner and everything will be fine!"
Meanwhile, Jason didn't really bother about the middle-aged man's words, instead, he had already summoned his two desert eagles, Kumo and Degar before he holstered them quickly.
Dala, who was already annoyed and glaring at the Merl Arths didn't notice that something about Jason's appearance had changed.
Nevertheless, there were many clan heads that saw his weapons and the mana currents the material they had been made, released!
This astonished them a little bit increasing their interest.
However, it was only when they noticed that the weapons' mana storage had already been filled, that everyone began to realize why Jason was confident to be strong enough to defeat Ifrytors at the Low Lique stage!
'Even though he might be able to kill one or two Grandmagus ranks with the amount of mana stored within both weapons, that's already everything!'
Nobody knew Kumo and Degar's real worth, except Jason and Mike, who was still working relentlessly to manufacture more ammo.
This caused Jason to think that he shouldn't waste too many bullets while fighting against Dala.
'Six of the common bullets for Kumo and one from Degar should be more than enough. If that's not the case, even hundreds of bullets wouldn't make me look better'
Now that he had made his decision, Jason and the others were already outside the gigantic hall in which the grand meeting had been held.
Shane and Dalia were walking next to him, but instead of lecturing him, both thought that Jason was old enough to know whether he did something wrong or not.
For others, Jason might look like he had reached the age of 20 for some clan heads, but almost nobody knew that he was in fact not even 17 years old!
Nevertheless, his masters were in the opinion that Jason was much better off being independent than relying on either of them.
He was more mature, and scheming than they were either way!
This was something Jason seemed to have learned even without his masters' help, and somehow it was both reassuring because he could pay attention to himself, but also sad because of the same reason!
Merl Arths who walked in front of everyone halted his steps when they had reached an open area without any camps obstructing the fight.
"In the next three minutes you guys can prepare yourself. After that, distance yourself 200 meters. Then I'll start a countdown.
Nobody should be killed, or heavily injured, understood?"
Jason just nodded his head before he walked towards the open field that was in fact the arena Merl had chosen.
It might look like he was too full of himself because he wasn't preparing anything, but Jason could only sigh inwardly.
Since the incident of the Yaslörn caves, he had yet to procure an armor. The only protection device he had was the mana sphere bracelet that was filled with Shane and Dalia's mana!
He should have purchased a simple armor, but Jason had noticed that not even grade-3 armors were something to his liking and a waste of money.
They were at most, comparable to other protection devices at the late-, or if manufactured perfectly, peak- Lique stage!
Yet, despite being powerful enough to protect him from most attacks, Jason felt like common armors were not something he needed.
Mana and soul equipment was what he wanted, at a high grade at best, but he had yet to find anything suitable!
Jason might as well forge one for himself, or hire someone to customize him a mana-grade-3 leather armor, but he had been unable to find someone like this within the Shiabi clan alliance until now!
Now that he was in the middle of more than a dozen clans and sects, Jason was confident to find the best person to manufacture the desired armor he was looking for.
Nevertheless, Dala and most clan heads looked at Jason with disdain, thinking that he was overestimating his capabilities, and there were only Shane and Dalia who sighed deeply.
At that moment, Merl Arths appeared next to them as he asked
"Does your disciple not have a armor?"
Shane was astonished to see Merl Arths appearing next to him, but the next question caused him to stiffen.

"I doubt that you taught this youth..Jason was his name, I think, how to read the universal language of the foriegn races…. And neither their hand signs, right?"
Jason had already explained what kind of excuse he wanted to use if someone were to ask Shane whether he had taught Jason the universal language or not, but there was never something about sign language.

Clearing his throat, Shane just said
"Shane taught himself both the written language of the foreign races and the hand signs. He read multiple partially translated blessed martial art techniques and learned reading the universal language. As for the hand signs, that's something he started to learn only recently. The Ariyor race is fond of Jason and handed him a book with hand signs and to learn how to speak the universal language too!"
Shane thought that his answer was okay. It was nothing special, but Merl seemed to have accepted his answer.
After that he had already averted his attention back to Jason, and Dala before walking towards the open field.
"Is everyone ready?" He simply asked only to see that both contestants nodded their heads.
Only a moment later Merl started the countdown.
The moment the spar between Dala and Jason started, huge amounts of mana had been released on both sides.
Dala manifested several dozen aqua jets right before she shot them at the same moment, only to manifest one huge spear of compressed mana immediately afterward.
She wanted to throw the spear of water at the location Jason would jump to in order to evade the aqua jets.
However, what she hadn't expected was that everything in front of her had changed within the moment she had focused on manifesting the compressed water spear!
Jason had already been aware of Dala's strength, but he had not expected that her proficiency with the affinity was so high!
Within a single moment, she had almost defeated him, if he had not allowed Solaris to enter his mana core before the spar had begun.
When his mana eyes had detected the strong mana currents circulating through Dala's body, he could immediately tell that she had wanted to finish the entire battle quickly.
As such he changed his tactic as thick black flames sprouted from his back.
Only a moment later, the flames stiffened for a second after they had turned into a replica of Artemis' wings.
The flames were still flickering wildly afterward, but the wings in its entire shape were unmoving, allowing Jason to shot into the sky before the aqua jets he had been targeted with, hit him.
Not even a quarter of a second later, Jason enveloped his entire body in Solaris' flames before he unleashed the Celestia aura, his stigma, the petrification curse, his mana eyes' abyssal ability and the race specific weakening curse, to the fullest.
At the same time, his hands had already reached the holsters of Kumo and Degar which he was wearing consistently.
Momentarily stunned by the sheer quantity of curses and abilities weighing her down, Dala could barely perceive Jason's eyes through the black flames.
They were cold and the moment she perceived the black and crimson red guns within his hands, was when she instinctively released the compressed water spear that had yet to be fully constructed.
Under normal circumstances she would have required one, at most two more seconds to release her strongest attack in order to show her superiority, only to notice that she had underestimated Jason.
The unfinished compressed water spear shot towards Jason, who had shocked Dala by soaring into the air with his entire body being enveloped in flames and wings sprouting out of his back.
Meanwhile, Jason summoned two compressed black flames with golden strands within, in front of Kumo and Degar's barrel.
At the same time the mana stored inside them was slowly being activated and swirling within the mana storage as Jason accessed it.
When he saw the incomplete water spear shooting towards him, Jason knew that it was a life-threatening attack, yet instead of wasting any time, he lifted Degar that had the stronger impact.
Pulling the trigger, Jason felt that the entire amount of mana that had been stored inside Degar was used up at once, filling the armor-piercing bullet that shot out of the barrel, leaving behind a huge impact on Jason's arm.
The impact didn't break his arm and Jason could only see the compressed flame at the top of the barrel enveloping the armor-piercing bullet before it clashed with the water spear.
Nobody expected a miracle to happen, and the affinity advantage was on Dala's side.
However, contrary to everyone's predictions, Jason's AP bullet pierced through the water spear that could barely slow down its advancement before it continued its advance.
Meanwhile, Jason didn't waste any time, as he lifted Kumo to shoot the six bullets he had promised to shoot, at Dala, who was shocked beyond measurement.
A faint "How?" was everything one could hear before a painful cry could be heard as a total of seven thump sounds resounded in the eerily silent proximity.
Blood splattered and Jason holstered his weapons again as he mumbled in astonishment.

"The armor-piercing bullets are even better than expected. The amount of mana I've stored was less than half of the mana I can store within my mana core!"
