Chapter 1084: Other Way to Use Aura Attack
It’s been hours since we started training. But there’s no progress yet. None of my familiars can use the Aura I share with them yet.
But maybe those three tried so hard that they got exhausted because of it. Even though normally they can fight for a long time.
So we decided to stop the training there and returned them to the Monsters Village. Not just my four familiars. But Victoria as well who was usually return to Cassau with me.
"Roy, I’m going with them as well. They can use Ray to get Aura and I will try guiding them in how to use it over there. Let’s take a day break and return again the day after tomorrow," Victoria said.
And Sonia said that even though she will return to Cassau, she will also help the three monsters to use Aura as well. She can use teleportation after all. And I don’t have to pick her up all the time.
"Sigh... Can I even use Aura like Victoria does?" Shelia asked herself.
It’s obvious that she felt down. There’s a skeleton werewolf that is clearly weaker than her. But she couldn’t kill it no matter what.
She tried fighting it and tried to use Aura how I told her to. But she couldn’t do it at all.
The same went for the other two. Neither Graham nor Crabbe can do it.
Maybe it can only be done by those who could use Aura. And that’s why even Ray who has Aura can’t use it. If he can, then I won’t be the only Aura user anymore.
"Don’t think too much. Even I need about thirty years until I finally learned how to use Aura for the first time. You just trained today. Also, I don’t think you can be Aura users. While you three will keep training, I will think of a way for you to be able to use Aura," I said.
Maybe they don’t have to be able to use Aura at all. But whether they can defeat the skeleton monsters is still unknown.
So we leave the dungeon. The others returned to the Monsters Village and I return to Cassau.
There, everyone seems to be taking a rest. They asked me how it went in the dungeon.
"Seems like we’re at the bottom of the dungeon. If we want to, we could explore it easily. But there are skeleton monsters instead of zombies. And the skeletons over there could only be killed with attack infused by Aura. So I’m trying to find a way for Shelia, Graham, and Crabbe to be able to attack with Aura," I said.
"Well, Sonia and Victoria can do it because they’re former Aura user. Even Ray who has Aura can’t use it at all. He can only share it to others. I guess it was really lucky that you somehow managed to become an Aura user," Shirley said. She’s somehow here whenever she’s resting. And she brought my little nephew and niece to play as well. Did they fly over here while she’s carrying them?
"Roy, how do you fight with Aura?" Kayla asked me.
"Hmm? I just use it with my imagination. When I want to slash at an enemy, I would cover my weapon with Aura. When I want to protect my body, I cover my body with Aura," I replied.
That’s all. There’s no difficulty at all when I do it. I can even use Aura to have my body stick to the wall or the ceiling.
"Then isn’t that the answer already? Instead of sharing your Aura with their body, you can just share your Aura with their weapons. Though you have to try to be able to share it something beyond your reach. Because if it can’t last long, it will be useless," Kayla suggested.
"That’s it!"
She’s right. If they can’t use Aura, then I just need to share my Aura with their weapons.
Let’s see, for Graham, it would be his spear. For Shelia, I guess it would be her claws. And for Crabbe, maybe his entire shell armor.
But I need to share my Aura with those things only. Not the body. But I wonder if Shelia’s claws or Crabbe’s armor is considered as parts of their bodies or not.
Well, there’s someone here who can help me with it. Not a monster. Just a girl.
"Tomorrow we will have a day break and we will continue exploring the dungeon again. Jewel, will you help me train? If I can share my Aura to other people’s weapon, then our monsters force will be even stronger," I said.
"Sure. You want to test it on my beast form, right? Both the animal form and the hybrid form. I’m free tomorrow anyway," Jewel said.
Good. Just letting my familiars become stronger is not enough. I also have to make myself stronger. This way, I can share my Aura with more people. Or monsters.
But before I go training with Jewel, I started my own training to share Aura with a weapon. I grabbed an old throwing knife that I no longer use because I’m faster with Blobbygun now.
I remember that when I threw a knife, there should be a time when the thrown knife still has Aura and able to pierce a rock. But that’s only when the rock was not far from me. When it gets farther, it will only barely leave a mark.
In a way, it’s possible for the knife to still have Aura even after it left my body. Now I have to make the time longer for the Aura to remain in the knife.
And until midnight, I threw the knife hundreds of time. I spent a lot of Aura as well and I got tired. But the result was good.
The skill I need to use is to use Aura twice on the knife. I need the first one on the knife that will make it sharp. Then the second one to cover the Aura in the knife to protect the previous Aura. That way, the Aura in the knife last longer.
I trained until the Aura in the knife can last for five minutes. That’s long enough to defeat few enemies but not long enough to last a battlefield. I guess this will just be for emergency use. Like if the enemies are skeleton monsters who won’t die no matter what using normal ways.
I went to bed and woke up the next morning for training with Jewel. We left after breakfast. Breakfast that is close to lunch because I overslept.
"Jewel, are you ready?" I asked.
Jewel transformed into Armored Jewel. The hybrid between her normal self and her beastform self. The rhino.
"First, I want you to charge at that rock with your shield."
It’s not just armor. She also has a shield for some reason. So I asked her to attack the rock with her shield.
She’s pretty strong. So the rock was shaken and there’s a crack on it. That’s just with her own strength.
Then I grabbed her shield. Only her shield. I focused on sharing my Aura with the shield she’s holding. Even though it should be a part of her, I have to make it only for that shield. If I make it bigger, I will waste my mana needlessly.
"Now do it again. And keep attacking the rocks and trees here until you feel that the effect is weakening," I said.
This time, she charges the rock with her shield. And the rock was destroyed. Even though with just her physical strength, it should be impossible as seen from the previous attempt.
She then charges at other objects there until she felt that the shield is weakening and she could only damage the next rock a bit.
"Master! Does it mean that it’s working?!" Jewel asked.
"It is. Though I want to make the duration longer while lowering its cost. Let’s keep going for the whole day. Can you do it?" I asked.
"I can. Master, it will probably be you who can’t do it if you keep wasting your Aura. Let’s continue!"
She’s right. This will be the first time that the master got tired before his disciple. That’s fine. It’s for the greater good. Maybe.
Ten minutes. At least I want to increase the duration until ten minutes. If possible, it should be thirty minutes or an hour. But for now, just ten minutes. Ten minutes should be enough for the dungeon exploration. And I can train again even during the search for the pyramid.
We kept training until I got tired. When I got tired, I returned home and recover my Aura a bit before we returned to training.
In the end, I couldn’t increase the duration until ten minutes. But it has increased to seven minutes and six seconds. That is good.
I asked Victoria how was the training over there. They didn’t get any result at all. But they’re ready to go tomorrow again.
It’s decided. Tomorrow we will return to the pyramid dungeon.
