The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 569: What the Test Will be

“Oh, I have something to ask!”

One of the zombies here raised his hand and has something to ask. But I quickly interrupted. Because rather than asking one question and hearing one answer, that would take too long.

“Before we start asking you questions, I think it’s best if you explained to us about everything that you know first,” I said to Timmy.

“I think that’s for the best as well. Please listen carefully,” Timmy said.

“Wait. Because I don’t want to have your explanation be interrupted, I want everyone here who thinks that hearing to your explanation is a pain in the ass, or if they think their intellect is not enough to listen to your explanation, to move to another room where you can return to training or do whatever you want,” I suggested to the others, while also open some portals to get the kings and the others who weren’t scheduled to train today.

Albert and the other kings should have some questions. They also entered this place from time to time to ask something to the ancient Aura users. Even Fabio who is an expert level mage also trained with the ancient Aura users.

They also came here because there were some ancient Aura users who were members of some royalties in the past. Even one of the master level mages was a king himself.

.....

But before I could explain why I called them all here, someone interrupted.

“You think we’re stupid enough to not hear about the creator of this place’s intentions? We have been forced to live as ghosts for the past thousands of years!” an fiery-looking ancient Aura user shouted.

“I don’t know about you, but my friends know their limit and willingly move to another room to continue training. If you want to stay, then stay and listen. That’s all there is to it,” I said while looking at Angela, Kron, and some others who directly went to another room.

“Oh, I’m going as well! I like moving my body more than listening to someone’s lectures. I don’t care if I’m going to disappear or not because of the creator’s you pass this test, but as long as I can move my body now, all is well!”

The one who said that was the Bearded Baldy. He’s the one who likes to fight the most here. And I learned a lot about fist-fighting from him. He’s the best barefist fighter among all ancient Aura users here.

Not just striking like punches and kicks. He can also grapple as well. It could be said that he has reached the peak of unarmed combat.

Although he was strong, he still failed the test. Because at that time, the test forced him to be smart. Which is something he couldn’t do as he is a rash fellow. So, he died.

Bearded Baldy then left the place to train with Angela and the others. And soon enough, some ancient Aura users also left thinking that they don’t need to care about the creator’s explanation.

All the monsters also left. They know that their next move should be based on my decision, so they don’t really care about the meaning behind this place.

As for me, although I think that this is a pain in the ass, I have no choice but to listen since it’s related to the test for me to be an Aura Master. And I’m also curious about the strength beyond master level that he has.

Angela and the others must be thinking that Kayla the others are here, so they can just listen to the summary later. Even though Angela must be the one who wants to know about what’s beyond master level the most, she must be thinking that our explanation later would be simpler and easier for her to understand.

“I think that’s all of them. You can explain everything now,” I said to Timmy.

“Alright. Let’s start with why we decided to make this place.”

Timmy started explaining how he and his friends created this place.

Timmy was an Aura user who reached the level of Aura Master. And his two friends were not even Aura users. They are just mages. But they are strong.

While Timmy reached master level in his earth element, his friends also reached master level. One with a rare plant element, and the other with even rarer death element.

The three then travel the whole continent while enjoying their lives happily, until the three of them got bored. And that’s when Timmy decided to make something. A place for entertainment. And the three decided to make Aura users as their entertainers.

“...You know what? You three have terrible personality,” I said to Timmy.

“We were bored. The three of us then reached a level beyond master level, and there’s nothing that can even entertain us anymore. We decided to create something entertaining, and this is the result. It’s because Aura Master is something that all Aura users desire to be,” Timmy said.

Timmy then explained that Aura Master is the title of the strongest Aura user. And it’s not an empty title. Because once someone became Aura Master, the use of their Aura improved and they could even create this place that has been standing for several thousand years.

The bored three guys made this place as an entertaining way to be Aura Master for other Aura users. Though one way to do it is simple, it’s the most difficult thing to do.

It’s to kill the previous Aura Master.

Even though it’s related to his own death, he make it entertaining. What a weird guy. The source of this ᴄontent is (f)ir(e).nᴇt

There’s another way, which is for me to gain the ability by myself. But that would be difficult.

But why is fighting an Aura Master is easier? Who would think that way?

To make Aura users got the chance to be Aura Master, they need to pass the test which these three strongest people at that time tasked to the Aura users. And each test is different. But the only way to be able to take the test is to cut down the tree.

The plant mage created the tree, and the Aura Master made it so the tree will stand forever until someone became Aura Master. And the Aura Master who is also an earth mage build this place underground. The death mage made it so those who died in the testing ground will become ghosts and locked in this place until someone became Aura Master. They would also gain a body once someone entered the testing ground. And when someone finally became the Aura Master, they will disappear completely.

So, this place is truly a place for entertainment. And it seems that Timmy is so confident in his strength that he made this place this way because he believes that no one would be able to kill him.

But now, Timmy’s two friends were already dead. Leaving Timmy alone who has longer lifespan thanks to reaching a level beyond master level, and also becoming an Aura Master.

“My best friends are dead now. And I want to follow them, but my life will still go on for several more centuries at the shortest. I want to die soon, and I think you have what it takes to kill me. So, the test I will give you is something that will help you be stronger. And hopefully, this is enough to make you kill that Evil God,” Timmy said.

“...Can’t you just go out there and kill that Evil God? Since you’re both Aura Master and a mage beyond master level, you should be able to do it, right? Also, what is the stage beyond master level called?” I asked Timmy.

“There’s no name for it yet and we have no interest in giving it a name. As for why I can’t kill the Evil God myself, It’s because I have no interest in doing it. After my friends died after their lifespan ended even after reaching something beyond master level, everything seems dull to me. I also want to die but there’s no one strong enough to kill me. And so, I want you to be stronger and kill me,” Timmy said.

...What an annoying guy. If he wants to die, he can just kill himself, right?

And being an Aura Master means I will have a long lifespan? I might end up witnessing everyone I cared about die in the future. But if it means I can destroy the cult, I will do it.

I also have my monsters after all. Their lifespans is quite long. I can accompany them longer until I die.

Albert and the others then tried to convince Timmy to go out and kill the Evil God. Even if he doesn’t want to fight, he could at least stay alive until we destroy the cult. Just by being alive, the ghosts here can be zombies who helped us getting stronger.

“I can’t do that. They have died for a long time and they are not monsters like your ghost friend is. And the death mage who made them this way have died already. I don’t know how long they can stay as ghosts, but it should be shorter than the rest of my lifespan,” Timmy said.

Few centuries are long, you know? If their lives as ghosts are shorter, it should be at least a few decades.

After trying to convince him many times, Timmy didn’t budge at all. So, we continued with asking him some important questions. But in the end, the answers to those questions are things that the ghosts have suspected for a long time. So, it doesn’t surprise us anymore.

“Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll take the test, and I will kill you. But can you tell us how you reach a stage beyond master level mage?” I asked.

“Stay true to your path. That’s the only thing I can say. I think the one who is most likely to reach that level is your friend, Angela. Although the others have potential to become one as well, Angela’s potential is much higher,” Timmy said.

That’s the only advice he can give? Well, that’s fine. Let’s see what the test will be.

“The test is for you to defeat every single Aura users here other than you. Unlike before, once they die, they won’t be able to recover. You can use portal to go back and rest before coming back to fight again. There’s no time limit,” Timmy said.

Seeing the zombies’ shocked expression, I can tell that this is the first time a test like this happen. To kill them.

But their expression then changed into excitement. I think I need to write a will right away.
