Aura

The next day Alex woke up with the first rays of light, he left his makeshift hiding place that kept him safe from the other beasts, although it would still be difficult to find him since his ability [Stealth] is activated by being in a hiding place.

Alex looks at his surroundings with dry tears around his eyes as he hears the roar of different beasts or monsters that he doesn't know is in this place.

Two small flames begin to form on Alex's shoulders as he advances on his way to reach the exit.

Alex is training his control over his flames by being able to keep them vivid with large irregular currents that are in this forest while he maintains an accelerated walking pace, although it seems to be something very simple, it is not.

Since he has to give mana to strengthen his flame so that it does not go out when an air current hits him and take away mana once there are no air currents because otherwise his flame will get out of control by having excess mana since Alex is keeping a fixed size and does not let it grow anymore, right now the flames are the size of an apple when at the beginning it could only make a flame the size of a peanut when he awakened his powers.

By doing this every day at all times it has made Alex have a great growth daily, apart from his understanding that he already has about the fire, but he does this because he needs control over the magic and not the fire, since he already understands fire but not mana and it is difficult for him to have control over it.

This time Alex is increasing his training, since keeping those two flames already consumes enough mana, but his desire for power is inclining him to do this, he knows it and accepts it.

Time passed while Alex advanced through the forest while training with his mana, Alex released a little aura while he was concentrating on his training, the aura was so suffocating to the beasts that thet moved away from his path, but soon the aura Alex's impact with another aura.

When that happened, both owners of their respective auras stopped doing what they were doing and turned instinctively in the direction of the other.

<What the hell? I felt as if I had touched something but at the same time not> Alex looked a little confused with the new experience while looking in the direction of the other beast which suffered the same but he does understand what is happening and he doesn't take long to move towards Alex's address.

The clash of Auras, is the wildest invitation between two beasts for a conflict over the domain of an area, something so common that intelligent beings only manage to unlock when they get a strong will by suffering many life or death situations or simply by having a strong will, the clash of Auras usually occurs more frequently in nature or in war when two generals release them to see who is stronger in will and as a Mana.

The princes are trained to unlock the Aura as a child since it is a belief that people with great destinies have powerful Auras that can subdue any enemy or adversity.

The Aura is the wildest representation of the ideals and desires of a living being and is also the most honest way to show one's intentions among great figures of society, although it is considered a very savage way of doing so.

Right now Alex entered a duel over a territory without knowing it with another beast or monster.

At a distance not too far away, a shadow travels through the bushes, its figure cannot be hidden by large bushes, the figure continues to move with great fluidity and without making much noise beyond what it generates when its body makes friction against the air .

Alex continues to look in that direction and was surprised to see a silhouette move with great agility in a silence that made his body slouch as dangerous as such an enemy.

Alex stopped spending mana and began gathering all the red mana bubbles around him while trying to attract the spirits to help him recover mana by sending his intention on them, most of the spirits ignored Alex's request or better said only one responded to the call and played around Alex while regenerating his mana while the other spirits completely ignored him, Alex was not surprised, he doesn't have much to do so that only one spirit hears, he doesn't know if it is the same since he has no way of distinguishing it but for a few days a spirit has been responding to his request to recover mana and when he does magic, always a spirit is combined with his magic making it more powerful, this made him happy but now is not the time to that but to pay attention to the unknown figure.

Alex felt renewed to feel his mana recovering at a great speed, he crouches while watching the figure approach, Alex suddenly felt a lot of danger in his position and without thinking twice he used [Charge] to throw himself to the side where he is for shortly after an explosion occurs in the place and raises a large amount of land that avoids seeing well within it.

Alex kept moving away from his position while dodging any place where his instinct shouts danger, so far it has never failed him and apparently now it will not be.

<Damn! I'm fighting blindly, I don't know who my enemy is and I can't see, to make it worse I don't know the environment well enough to move comfortably and this damn crazy man continues to launch very precise attacks on my position> These were Alex's frustrated thoughts while dodging his enemy's attacks before he can perform them thanks to his great survival instinct.

Alex always had this great instinct but when he was living in a peaceful society with a great peace, his sense of alert was progressively weakened until it became useless in his previous life but in recent days, several aspects of Alex are waking up again for a great need and for the hostile environment.

Alex continues to dodge the attacks until his body could not keep up as the enemy increased his speed and managed to connect a blow in Alex, with which he sent him flying until he crashed into a few branches of the surrounding trees.

"Ugh~!!" Alex squirmed in his place from the pain of the blow, Alex looked angrily at the silhouette hidden in the air curtain that was generated by the blows of the figure.

Suddenly a strong air current came from the figure and erased all the earth in the air and thus showed his figure to Alex.

A red bengal tiger with a crystal on its forehead thus showing that it is a magical beast, the tiger was standing on its four legs full of elegance while its tail has a white glow, thus showing its magical nature, neutral or physical reinforcement .

When the tiger finally saw Alex, he looked a little surprised to see a small cat in front of him, but when he realized who his enemy was, his pride grew and he began to look down on the little boy, he began to think of how to kill him or eat him right now.

While the tiger was in his own world, Alex began to tremble in anger when he saw for a moment how the figure of the bastard who took away his only treasure overlaps the tiger, Alex felt like blood boils from anger, although literally his body began to burn, the temperature around him began to rise when the mana inside him began to react to a very complete feeling, pure hatred.

It is said that the magic is stronger when the intention and feelings are clear and that when a magician encounters a feeling out of control is when they show their maximum potential that is why magicians are beings that should not be mocked and despised.

Alex began to lose his temper when he stopped seeing a tiger in front of him and began to look at the bastard only, Alex's core went crazy as he began to refine the mana and release it out of control.

Alex's environment began to heat up to high temperatures, the plants around him began to dry when it had any liquid evaporated shortly after it began to burn, the soil around Alex began to make hissing whistles when burning and in places where Alex stands with his legs, the ground is turning red.

The tiger felt the change of the environment, but he did not look scared since he has experience facing other magical beasts which have done similar things, this surprised him a little when he realized that Alex is a magical beast like him and that he does have an element .

The tiger became more alert to Alex's actions but the feeling of contempt for Alex didn't disappear.

Alex began to rise from his position while the wounds began to heal at an amazing speed and without noticing a small spirit began to take shape on his shoulder and it is seen that he is also being influenced by Alex's feelings as he looks with hate the tiger just like Alex.
