Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 207 His [Aura]

Aura.

A natural energy born from one's subconscious mind.

Every Aura varies from person to person and there are countless 'types' to an Aura.

Just like how every being has its separate mentality, goals, beliefs, ideals, and such, every Aura has separate characteristics that show just what kind of person they are.

Although we can't guess everything about the person from their Aura, we can guess some things at the very least from the characteristics.

Like the form of Aura.

Is it dense? Is it burning? Or is it fluid? Maybe gaseous or wild like a wind?

Is it like melted metal? Or just plain Aura gained from normal training or without knowing?

There are many who reach [Rank-3] and achieve the Aura, but not that many that we could see everywhere.

A handful of strong can achieve Aura and a handful of them have a deeper characteristic.

An Aura is mostly an energy form, just like Mana.

But, the rare ones have special characteristics comparable to a burning fire, a sea current, a whirlwind, or a melted metal.

The grandfather with blond hair and deep blue eyes had the Aura characteristics of water waves.

Sometimes calm, sometimes dangerous.

The grandpa with violate hair had Aura characteristics of a strong wind. Sharp, strong and dangerous.

The girl sitting with two little ones had a special Aura characteristic of the denser fluid-like blood.

And they both fighting down there had a characteristic of burning fire.

But...

Although every one of these people possessing Aura had a special characteristic, there was one thing all except one had different.

"When was the last time we saw this 'kind', brother Zahavi?" The grandpa with violate hair asked with a warm, nostalgic look, as he looked down at the arena.

"Twenty-one years, Maweth. Twenty-one years... and that great person, from what I know, trained until he was thirty to awaken this 'kind'." He answered with the same nostalgic look in his eyes.

This one, however, also had true respect and happiness in them.

On the other hand, the grandma with silver hair couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"And he has yet to complete twelve. Just how many surprises is he going to give us today?

But... just thinking about things he might have gone through to gain these strengths... even I can't imagine those things."

Her voice was grave at the end, and she meant every word with pain in them.

Not many heard their practically inaudible voices but, the three young ladies on the side saw, felt, and heard it clearly.

The little Anna had stars in her eyes as she looked at the gorgeous Aura of her big brother.

Zoe already knew about them, so she just sighed at this gorgeous sight.

And... the alluring girl can't take away her eyes from this sight.

Aside from the three older ones, only she knew what they were looking at and, even though this was her first time seeing this, she couldn't help but admire it.

There were many types and characteristics of a person's Aura but there were two kinds of Aura in this world.

The first one that everyone possessed but had no idea of it, the aura with [Dark impurities].

Everyone in this room who possessed Aura, even she herself had this kind.

When one awakens Aura, the Aura they have is unpolished, filled with impurities of the body, mind, and soul.

As time passes, one purifies this energy, gains deeper control of it, and increases the mastery, you get strong and climb the steps of being an [Pawn] of [Rank-3].

People mostly awaken this kind of Aura by a natural understanding of weapons, in dangerous situations, or just with time and some talent.

But, there is another kind, different from this one, and only a select few actually know about this.

An aura that is born after countless trials and training.

Requiring not only a deep understanding of the weapon but also countless life and death experiences.

The understanding of one's body, mind, and soul as well as the energy named Aura required to achieve this Aura is absurd, but it doesn't end there.

In the first place, ones with monstrous talents in a particular thing can achieve this but, it asks for more than just that.

One needs something most important few could ever practically possess.

'A mad love for whatever they do...'

It was difficult to explain and even more difficult to actually understand what this meant but, this was it.

Even someone like her, someone who had lived the longest in this place, had never seen this kind of Aura.

The Aura with [White purity].

The awakening of this kind required a long time and one had to just keep doing whatever they loved with the greatest passion without actually caring about the results.

This was the only way to get this kind for those who qualified.

And, in the end, no one could actually know if they will awaken this kind.

So, thinking too much about this was not worth it at all.

Admiring the beauty of this spectacle was enough for their hearts.

This was his Aura, the one who had lived.

Burning more fiercely than hers.

Radiant pink flames, fiercer than her special eyes.

Although there were some white parts to this fierce fire, like her black ones, these flames were beautiful.

And the spear-like arrow covered by this Aura looked even more eye-catching.

Usually, showing Aura meant the final stage of a fight, and it was the same here, too.

He had already declared this would be the end and now that she was in the [ZONE], he couldn't just take the beating.

So...

"After seeing this much, it would be weird if he didn't know the 'trigger'." the grandma with silver hair said as silence covered the place for a moment.

He was looking down and then, in no time, he slowly looked up at his dear big sister, who was looking at him with red sparks in her eyes... with white sparks of his own.

There was a delightful smile on each of their faces, and this marked the start of their last round of this fight that hadn't even lasted for ten minutes.

-Swish.

They vanished once again but, unlike last time, absurd shockwaves started covering different parts of the arena.

A new defensive system activated, and a translucent green barrier covered the entire room.

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

-Booooooooom!

-Clank!

The fight that was happening right now in their eyes was even faster and fiercer than the previous one.

-Clank! Clank!

They were going at each other with those Aura-covered weapons with all their strength.

She was faster, wilder, and stronger than him but, he was more experienced than her.

In terms of real fighting, [ZONE], Aura, or weapon use, he was unparalleled.

He was using his spear right now, which was covered by his bright Aura but whenever he attacked, even their eyes only saw a ray of pink light.

He used the arrow like a reaper. Thrusting, slashing, and redirecting her sword filled with deep power.

She used her red sword as the main weapon in this fight but, as the match went on, she also used the different swords from her special storage to throw, or as a secondary weapon.

Her Aura burned everything other than his sword and from the ground to even some of the internal barriers had been destroyed in this three-minute fight.

Many swords were now shoved into the ground and some even pierced the translucent inner barrier and just rested there.

The way this arena with auto repair magic had become a grave of swords was a sight to behold for them but, right now, only the family was watching this fight.

The ones on the other side had moved their subordinates, who had fainted a while ago, outside and even the captains knew this would be dangerous to observe for more.

They had seen more than enough so, there was no need for them to risk anything.

-Boooooooooom!

And the last stage of the fight, after a whole three minutes that might have felt like three hours to them, came to a certain end with yet another enormous explosion.
