The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 572: The Final Game of Tag

After the first fight against Clarence, I continued fighting until I got tired and took a rest. Then, I return again to the testing ground the next day to fight again. And I’m the one fighting most of the time.

Victoria only got her turn because the first opponent we were facing was Clarence. Her master. That’s why I let her be the one to put him to rest.

After that, I fight most of the ancient Aura users. Unless Graham or Shelia wanted to do it.

Before each fight, I would ask the opponent I would fight about what they were good at and if I can learn something from them. Of course I can still learn a lot from them. But if I thought that either Graham or Shelia can learn more by fighting them instead of me fighting, I would let them fight.

Graham and Shelia refused to borrow my Aura to get them stronger. They want to get stronger by themselves. So, they ended up only fight once a day because they would end up injured and exhausted after their fight since their opponents were too experienced.

But it’s all good since they could defeat them without my or anyone’s help.

And this is the sixth day since the test started. We have put around fifty ancient Aura users to rest. Which makes me fight around ten matches in a day.

.....

And every day, I can feel that I grew stronger. Also, I can feel that I received experiences from defeating the Aura users for my summoning element. If this goes on, by the time we finished the test and put all ancient Aura users here to rest, I think I can make a contract with another monster.

But let’s not think about that. I also need to kill Timmy before I could think of what monster I need to make a contract with.

Seriously, why does he want to die? And why do I have to fight him? I don’t think I can kill him unless I became Aura Master first. And the fight against the ancient Aura users are the preparation for me to become one.

But even if I become an Aura Master, Timmy is also a mage beyond master level. Can I kill him?

Well, if I want to survive, I need to kill him.

Sigh... if only he would just become our ally instead. He would be a great addition and we can find the Evil God and destroy the cult for good. Just why does he wants to die?

Anyway, I have killed the ninth opponent of the day. I feel my strength is still growing, and I’m not tired yet.

“Well done. Will you continue or leave for the day?” Timmy asked me.

“I will continue. I think I can fight one more time,” I replied.

“Then, your next opponent will be Shadow Blade,” Timmy announced.

Shadow? He has been very helpful with my training. And his medical knowledge as an assassin is also top-notch. I can combine the knowledge I have from the future and the knowledge from the past to advance even more and heal more illnesses.

And he’s also helping some agents to improve their skill. His abilities are very good for assassination and gathering information. So, Sara and the agents I brought here asked for his teaching. And their hiding skills have improved. Enough so that no expert level mages can detect them when they get close to them.

I also brought the agent and the werewolves who were supposed to be tracking the cult. There hasn’t been any traces of them at all, so I hope they can get better by training with Shadow.

Though they can’t get close to me without me noticing. My Divine Vision has improved along with my Mind’s Eye.

“I guess the time has come. Well, I have taught you everything I need. I won’t hold back, Dr. Roy,” Shadow said.

“That’s what I wanted, Dr. Shadow,” I replied.

Since we’re both doctors, we called each other that way from time to time.

“Sir Aura Master, I’d like you to build a maze as our stage,” Shadow said.

“Are you sure? Roy has his vision and he could see you from anywhere,” Timmy said.

“But I’m not a fighter. I’m an assassin. Narrow place where I can set traps and ambush my opponent is where I can fight without holding back the most,” Shadow said.

Timmy then looked at me for confirmation, and I nodded. We have been playing tag as my training, and it’s best for us to finish it with a game of tag as well.

The stage then turned into a maze. But it doesn’t matter to me who can see through it. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovelFɪre.net

The difference between other maze we used to play tag in was that the walls in this maze. I don’t think I could destroy them. It was made by a mage beyond master level.

...I need to think of a name for that. Saying it a stage beyond master level all the time is too long.

As soon as the maze was built, Shadow quickly disappears and creates multiple shadow clones to distract me. I mustn’t forget that he’s a shadow element mage as well.

And he’s a doctor. He knows well of human body. So, it’s not just a shadow clone. The inside of the bodies of the clones are the same as the zombies. As himself.

If it was me who can only use Divine Vision, I wouldn’t be able to find the real him. But now that I can use Mind’s Eye as well, I know where the real Shadow is.

But the clones are not for distraction. They are for fighting me because he knew that fighting me directly is difficult. He’s an assassin who knows if he can kill his target or not. And he did this because he thinks that he had a better chance this way.

One against many. And because Graham and Shelia are tired after the previous fights, I can’t get them to help me.

I can only show him how strong I have became now.

I have also practiced fighting against numerous Aura users. And I learned that the best way to fight against multiple enemies for me is to fight with my fists instead of using weapons. So, I turned Victoria into gloves.

I punched the clones, dodged their attacks, parried, blocked, grabbed, and countered them. And after the clones around me were down, I quickly chase after Shadow.

This game of tag took a long time. But as I move while setting traps, I finally caught up with Shadow.

Although I have trained so much, Shadow is still much faster than me. And I needed traps to defeat him.

The traps I made were just my air magic. I created sleeping gases, and infused my Aura into my magic. Which makes even Aura users, and expert level mages, easily sleep when they inhale it.

And even if they are zombies just like Shadow, as long as I infuse my Aura on my magic, it can even makes zombie sleepy.

This is what I learned in this place. Even creatures that don’t need sleep, will be put to sleep if I infuse a lot of my Aura into my sleeping gases.

“Shit... As a doctor, this is illogical...” Shadow said as he started to get sleepy.

“The more experience you have, the more you will think that it’s a pain to think about every small matter. You can sleep, you will sleep. That’s all. Thank you for all your teachings. I... we will make sure that we destroy the cult,” I said before giving the final blow to him.

Another ancient Aura user has fallen. And I keep being stronger. But this is not enough.

“Congratulation for defeating Shadow Blade. I keep hearing him and other people from his generation talking about him being the strongest assassin of his time,” Timmy said.

“Yeah? What do you think about that remark?” I asked.

“I think of how low the level of Aura users had become. In my time, his strength wasn’t enough to be proud of,” Timmy said..

...I guess being an Aura Master is still a long way. This is so hard. I wish I could stop.

But stopping here means the cult will continue to exist. I do hope that someone else will be able to defeat the Evil God and destroy the cult.

Unfortunately, that is unlikely.

After seeing how people accepted Angela as the strongest mage, and no one dare to challenge her for a fight, I don’t think there’s anyone who is stronger than me in this continent at the moment. Not counting anyone from the cult.

I am the only one I can trust for this task. That’s why I have to endure everything and became stronger.

I used to survive by using my shameless survival arts. By escaping, or doing some other tricks. But now, I can only fight. There won’t be me running away anymore.

Well... maybe from time to time, there will be a time when I need to run away instead of fighting.

What I meant to say was to not run away from getting stronger. Yeah, that.

And this place might be the only place where I can grow stronger. There might be some Aura users who hid their real power during training. I need to kill them to pass the test.

But I’m tired today after playing tag with Shadow. This is it for today. I’ll come back again tomorrow for more tests.
