Chapter 13 (Silver)
Sitting on the cold ground, resting after a tough battle, Miguel stands in front of me and says, "I think you're ready for the next step. Learn the aura and use it to strengthen your body and your sword." After more practice with Miguel, the time has finally come to embark on the true path of the sword.
The aura basically determines whether you have what it takes to reach the pinnacle of your abilities. Of course, I'm nervous, not because I doubt I will awaken my aura, but because I don't know what kind of aura I will have; In the novel, Anthony never awakened his aura.
"Aura, the swordsman's intention, what he wants to convey through the movement of the sword, what sets him apart from an ordinary person. The aura is what decides a battle in a matter of seconds; if your aura is weaker than your opponent's, you are at a disadvantage, and vice versa. To awaken your aura, you need to assimilate your mana with your mana veins and your heart, it is a somewhat painful and difficult process," explained Sir Miguel.
Believe it or not, this decides the fate of anyone who wishes to wield a weapon and does not possess an aura; you are many steps behind someone who has one. The difference is like day and night.
By the way, I'm already at the maximum bronze; My magic core is also in the same range and its color is brown. I have a premonition that upon awakening my aura, I will progress to the silver base. I hope the system rewards me...
Snapping me out of my reverie, Sir Miguel says, "Focus on your mana core and gradually release mana through your mana veins; let it flow through your entire body."
I did exactly as I was told; I focused on my core, which was the size of a baseball. I released mana gradually and felt my body heating up at an incredible speed; I felt like I was being burned alive.
"Aaaaahgg"
I couldn't help but let out a small groan; I felt too much pain all over my body. My skin, as white as snow, turned crimson. I could feel a tremendous amount of power coursing through my being; I don't know how much time passed, but I heard a sound that I recognized very well.
[Ding!] Congratulations to the host for awakening the aura!
[Ring! Congratulations to the host for advancing to the silver base!]
[Ring! As a reward, the system will grant the host a perfect body elixir; Additionally, the host will receive a 3-star sword mastery.]
