The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 559: The Tree is Strong

I woke up in the morning, and I can feel my Aura has recovered. I checked it by using my Divine Vision, and it works.

But what surprise me the most is that the king, Albert, is taking all his work here into my house. And not just him. Marie, Alan, and Lana were here as well.

Even more, Angela, Kayla, Jewel, Candy, and the others who were in Cassau were here as well. Do they want to watch me cutting down a tree so much?

But how did they come here so fast? Must be Spot. He returned back to Cassau, and brought everyone back here. Is he that fast now? Or did I sleep more than one day?

Whatever the case, I’m hungry. Filling my empty stomach comes first.

“Master Roy, you’re awake!” Ian said as he saw me enter the dining room.

“And I’m hungry. How long did I sleep?” I asked.

.....

“Just one night. It’s already noon and lunch is being prepared right now. Lina is doing the cooking,” Ian said.

I guess if it’s Spot, he could move everyone here by that time. Though I just wish that Albert doesn’t need to bring his works here. This is my house, but the king just do everything he wants in my house. Follow current s on N(o)v????l(F)ire

Wait, if it’s other people, normally they would be happy that the king is staying at their place. Well, I’m not a normal man at all.

I told Ian to get my meal prepared sooner. I’m hungry, so I will eat more. And before I finished all the dishes prepared for me, the others should be here for lunch.

I looked at the tree at the garden while eating my breakfast. Or lunch. And I see Victoria and Sonia were there. With Vitoria in her human form holding a sword, and she tries to cut down the tree.

Well, I don’t think she can do it. Even if she has the technique and the power, she doesn’t have Aura. So, she’s unable to cut it down. But she must have wanted to know what their master left behind. What is the secret behind the tree?

The monsters didn’t come for lunch as they were discussing something. I’ll go meet them after I finish my meal.

During lunch, I asked the others why they are here. They said that they just want to see something. And Albert also said that he will soon announce to the people about what happened during the tournament. And he will announce the war against the cult openly. With this, everyone will know that a war is happening. Not just the agents or soldiers. Every citizens of Tatrama will know since the announcement will be broadcasted.

As for other countries, they will take care of it themselves. Though Consenza might not need to announce it since it was the target of the cult’s attack. And Arturo has announced their war against the cult when Fabio was coronated as the new king.

As for Varadis, I don’t know. Well, it’s impossible for them to hide the fact that back when I first come there, the cult has influenced many people. Though I hope this time old man Henry has picked someone better as the future king this time.

Talking about heir, I wonder what the other countries are thinking?

Albert already has Alan. Old man Henry has many children. But what about Fabio and Lynn? They were both unmarried and have no children.

Well, they are a king and an empress. They should have thought about it. And they can just appoint anyone to be their partner. I doubt someone will refuse their offer.

Or maybe the two will end up together. Well, I don’t know about that. But I don’t think that will be the case.

Well, it’s their countries. I won’t care about them. They know what to do themselves. I’m just good at fighting. That’s all I can do.

And I hope I can get stronger after cutting that damn tree down.

A tree challenging me if I’m worthy or not? It’s the first time I really hate a tree. And it’s probably not a real tree at all.

After some more chatting, I left to the garden and everyone is following me trying to see me cut the tree down. I looked outside the mansion and see that there are many guards disguising themselves so no one will get close to the mansion just in case. Veronica and Sara also helped to make sure that no sounds can be heard outside.

Since Sara is here, I don’t need to use air magic to do it myself. That’s good. I can just focus on cutting the tree down.

“Victoria, Sonia, do you recall anything about the tree?” I asked the two monsters who used to be Aura users.

“All I remember is that this tree is very durable. We both tried to recall our memories about our time at the dojo, and we remember that our master tried to slash this tree many times in the past. But he never succeeded in cutting it down,” Sonia said.

“Yeah. After talking with Sonia, I remember that one time I heard him saying something about not worthy enough after trying to cut this tree. Maybe this tree has been there even long before our master’s time. And our master built the dojo here because of the tree,” Victoria said.

So, it wasn’t their master who created or do something to the tree. But he built the dojo because of the tree. Probably, he wants to see what’s the secret the tree has. And he built a dojo in hope that someone among his students can reveal the secret.

Though it won’t be his student who reveals the secret of the tree. But it’s his student’s student! Wait, that makes him my grand master.

“Well, all I can do is trying to cut the tree down. I hope it won’t suck my Aura again this time,” I said.

“How will you do it? Even our master couldn’t do it,” Sonia said.

“Did your master able to slash from distance or cutting magic in half? If not, then I’m already stronger than your master,” I said confidently.

“Yeah, but you ran out of Aura after touching the tree once,” Victoria said.

“That’s just because the tree never received Aura in the past thousand years! I hope that’s the case. Victoria, a sword,” I said to Victoria as she transformed into a sword in my hand.

“Trying it with a sword right away? Good luck,” Sonia said.

Everyone stepped back from the tree. They make sure that they won’t get hit by my stray attack. Though they don’t need to worry too much. They even prepared Earth Walls and Ice Walls to protect themselves.

First, I need to check the tree again with Divine Vision. Is there anything strange about the tree? It looks just like a normal tree. But maybe there’s something in the middle of the tree that I can’t really see.

What I see is a normal tree from the outside and the inside. But if there’s a reason why I need to cut it down, is the fact that there must be something hidden inside the tree. Maybe the secret is a squirrel.

Using two hands to hold Victosword, I raised it up. And I focused my Aura on the sword, and my will to cut down the tree so all my attack will only be received by the tree.

“HAAAH!!”

I swung Victosword diagonally to cut the tree down. But even when I used all my power, the tree isn’t down at all. And I can only cut to a third of the trunk which has the thickness of about one meter.

“Fuck! Even with my full strength, I can only cut a third of the the trunk!” I shouted.

“This tree is strong. Not only your full strength, it also able to endure Jewel’s charge in her Rhino form, and even blocked Angela’s magic. They both tried it as soon as they arrive here,” Sonia said.

Blocking Angela’s magic and Jewel’s charge? The tree itself is a treasure. Maybe I can make something from it. A shield maybe?

If the tree has the attribute to block magic attack, and powerful enough to stop something as powerful as Jewel’s charge, this tree could be essential for the war against the cult. Even if they have master level mages, it would be difficult for them to destroy anything created by using this tree as the material.

I’ll ask the elves if they know something about this tree. But after I cut it down!

I pulled Victosword from the tree, and the tree was quickly regenerated. I expected that. But never thought it would be so quick.

“What to do now? Seems like you need to improve your strength,” Sonia said.

“No. I was never a power type from the start. I’m more of a speed type. If I can’t cut it down with one slash, I will cut it down with several more slashes. Get back or you might get hit,” I said.

A series of slashes using both Aura and will. I think it’s the first time I tried it. But this tree is a good hitting target. I will make sure that I cut it down.
