If his assumption was correct, he had between 10 to 30 seconds left in the strong form of his fusion with Artemis.
After that, his strength would decrease by more than 30%. This was still more than enough to fight against one, or even multiple Oceanfolk Elite, but not beings like the monster that was the furthest away from him.
The Deepsea Scia which looked like a monster to him was just shedding its skin.
It revealed its true appearance that was several times larger than its previous form.
Jason didn't know how it had fit into the previous form, but that did not matter right now because he had too many opponents to finish.
Unleashing his curses without restraint, Jason corrupted his opponent's mind using the abyssal effect followed by the race specific weakening curse and the petrification curse.
This combination of an attack required a large amount of mana, but his current mana replenishing interval was short and refilled his entire mana core in a matter of seconds.
Unfortunately, these seconds were too long, and Jason had to restrict himself a little bit in order to not overexert his mana.
Instead, he balanced everything out in order to have more than enough mana left once the amplification radiating from the silver full moon would vanish.
To his fortune, even after balancing out his mana, there was more than enough of it left which he could use in order to defeat his opponents.
With the use of his Emperor Eyes and the foresight ability, he could gauge the precise movements of his opponents before they made it.
Following that, he used small attacks like a fireball or a pillar of ice, in order to restrict or distract his opponents. This confused the Oceanfolk Elite because they began to realize that Jason was attacking them in ways they were unable to comprehend.
It was almost as if he was able to foretell their attacks, which should be impossible.
Yet, that was exactly what Jason was able to do, even if it gave him only a fraction of a second's advantage.
His foresight blessing was not strong, and under normal circumstances, one wouldn't be able to do a lot with it.
Yet, his reaction speed, along with his Emperor Eyes, helped him predict the attacks. Owing to his eyes that could clearly perceive everything that happened in the fraction of a second he could foresee, Jason was able to foretell the whole attack his opponents were planning.
That was only possible with opponents that used a simple attack pattern, one that he had already seen hundreds of times.
Some of the Oceanfolk's Elite were relatively simple-minded and Jason made use of that in order to kill them.
He employed a single strike to finish them off after trapping them using a pillar of ice. It shot out of the ground, the moment his opponents stepped on that position.
This was a petty trick, but it didn't consume much mana and was extremely powerful as it allowed him to kill his opponents without delay.
Owing to a small mana consumption, and the ability to kill the simple-minded opponents within a fraction of a second helped Jason preserve his strength by a lot.
Using this saved energy, he jumped in the center of his opponents to face them at once.
Initially, the Oceanfolk's Elite wanted to attack him at the same time, but everything about Jason made them feel worried and terrified of him.
The Arctic aura, the curses, his weird attacks, his eyes, followed by the weird and ominous pressure he released, was more than enough to force them to retreat, to run away as long as it was possible.
Despite that, the rational part of the Oceanfolk Elite's mind could clearly tell that Jason's cultivation was at the Peak of the Prismar stage's first threshold.
This clearly showed that Jason's true combat prowess was not what he was currently showing.
He might be about to enter the 2nd threshold of the Prismar stage, but even then, his combat prowess shouldn't be so much stronger than that of a Peak Prissar stage Cultivator.
Thus, the Oceanfolk slowly began to comprehend that Jason was lending the power from his surroundings in order to strengthen himself significantly.
Because of that, they comprehended that Jason's strength would decrease soon enough, once his body was unable to hold this power anymore.
As such, they were just waiting for it to happen at any moment.
This was not exactly wrong, but at the same time, it was not completely right either because the Oceanfolk's Elite was misinterpreting the situation.
Neither was Jason lending any power as he was fusing with Artemis nor was his true strength much lower than what he was revealing right now!
Fusing with Artemis allowed her to exhibit her racial trait that was in fact the absorption and conversion of moonlight into mana.
In fact, the moonlight affinity was the only difference the silver full moon had given to him.
This might have enhanced his strength by around 70%, owing to the perfect timing, however, even without the silver full moon, the moonlight ability enhanced his mana circulation speed and affinities' strength by 30%.
As such, Artemis' ability to convert moonlight into energy had made the biggest difference in Jason's combat prowess, allowing him to kill countless opponents in no time.
Because of that, the moment the silver full moon vanished, Jason's strength decreased by a considerable amount.
This forced him to adjust to the little passive mana gathering cycle of his sub-area that replenished his mana.
It was not even close to being compared to the moonlight's mana replenishment, but that did not matter right now.
What mattered was the fact that his entire strength had decreased, including his speed that was one of the biggest advantages when he made use of his opponent's predictions.
Knowing where his opponents would move in order to take him by surprise and kill him this way, was great.
But being unable to react and move in the fraction of a second he had received to initiate a counterattack, turned his foresight close to useless.
Thus, his combat prowess decreased, while there were still around 30 Elite of the Ocenfolk left, followed by thousands of beings of the Oceanfolk.
However, they had already run past him and the Oceanfolk's Elite, avoiding joining their fight by all means.
Jason had been unable to focus on his surroundings, and even though he hoped that the Village was fine, his current situation was not exactly one in which he was able to think about the others' safety!
That was, even more, the case when the Oceanfolk's Elite realized that his strength had decreased, while his foresight ability weakened further.
He was not weak by any means, but the difference in strength to before allowed the Oceanfolk to use their numerical advantage for the first time.
Seeing this, the Ginormous Deepsea Scia that had held back for the entire time was finally free to join the fight.
The remaining Oceanfolk Elite was ready to give their life as long as they were able to defeat the anomaly in their path called Jason.
With that in mind, they charged towards him, only to perceive that the Ginormous Deepsea Scia had already passed by them. It had emerged in front of Jason, its fist cutting through the air as it smiled hideously.
'Now it's our turn!'
