Chapter 587: I am the Aura Master
“Question! If you can regenerate your body without using magic thanks to your lizard or dragon form, how will I be able to kill you!?”
While still exchanging moves, I asked Timmy a question. Seriously, even if I end up being stronger than him, he could just heal himself.
I can now use Divine Vision again, and see that the injuries I inflicted on his body has started to recover along with his lost arm. And it’s not a good thing.
He has experienced the lost of a limb. Maybe many times. Not just that time before he manifested his beastform magic. But many times after he became a beastform mage seeing how he seems to be very experienced in that reckless way of fighting.
“If I die I won’t be able to regenerate! That’s all!” Timmy said.
“Ain’t that obvious!? Why are you so intent on dying!?” I asked Timmy again.
“I will tell you about it once you’re victorious,” Timmy replied.
.....
“If I win, you’d be dead!” I shouted.
I could go to that place where Ray was before purely by chance. The place where people who died need to pass through so they can go to the afterlife. Maybe if it’s exist. I don’t know.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd although I have Ray with me here, I feel like I can’t go to that space anymore. Though I need to check it later to confirm if I’m right or not.
That space allow Ray to see dead people. And maybe, if I kill Timmy, he would pass through that place. But I feel like I can’t go there anymore. And even if I go there, I feel like I shouldn’t stay for too long. That’s not a place for a living being to stay for a long time. Even if I have died once already.
So, if I win, Timmy would die. And I won’t be able to talk to him anymore. Unless he becomes a ghost, or reincarnated as an intellectual monster. Like Sonia or Victoria.
I guess I will never know the answer. What a pain in the ass this grandpa is.
Unless... this grandpa is a battle freak. Someone who loves fighting more than anything, and want to use all his power in a fight.
I think I heard about that story from Victoria. About a certain group in her original world who long for death in battle so they can reach... what was it again? Valhalla? I guess that’s it.
Maybe it wasn’t as far as her original world. Such people exist as well in this world. And probably, this grandpa is from that group of people.
Well, I don’t know the answer, and I will probably never know. I have to kill him so I can survive. That’s the simplest thing I have to do right now.
Kill Timmy, survive, kill the Evil God, destroy the cult, and survive. That’s the order I need to take.
Well, maybe the order of killing the Evil God and destroying the cult can be reserved. Whatever it is, that’s the only way for me to survive. Though I need to survive from this battle first. That’s why surviving is twice in that list.
“Come on! Let’s focus on the battle! We’re trying to kill each other here, so don’t think of unnecessary stuffs! Or you will die!” Timmy reminded me that we’re still in the middle of a deathmatch.
If he wants to die that badly, he could just kill himself without causing me much trouble. Or maybe fight the Evil God by himself. Even if he die, he could be regarded as a hero that way. And people can remember him forever as his name will be written in history.
But he’s too stupid for that. No, rather than stupid, he only care about fighting. This is why I don’t like mucleheaded idiot. Though I know some muscleheaded people, they were not idiot. Timmy is the idiot for wanting to fight to death when we can just talk to each other normally.
Well, I guess I shouldn’t hold back anymore. I will use all the power I have, including from Ray, and kill Timmy. The fight will end soon.
I still have some more time until the time for my Super Aura is over. But I should at least defeat him as soon as possible so I won’t lose like before. Unable to give him some real damage because the time limit for my Super Aura is over.
I used a full power swing with my Reizpear to blow Timmy away before I had Ray run in the air to gain some distance. But Timmy soon regain his balance quickly and chased after me as he flies with his wings.
Not just him. He also used earth magic simultaneously so the ground is chasing after me. The speed of his earth magic seem to be as fast as Ray’s fastest speed. It can’t reach us, while we can’t gain more distance.
We reached an open area where we landed but we still continue running with Timmy behind us. The earth magic he used once we are on the ground is splitting the earth right behind us. If Ray loses his speed just a little, we would get caught by Timmy’s magic and fall.
After running in the open area, we entered the forest nearby. With Timmy still chasing after us. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Noᴠelꜰire
“You think you can distract me with branches!? You are a fool!” Timmy shouted.
As soon as I entered the forest while still riding on Ray, I cut off the branches from the trees nearby with Reizpear, while also shooting at Timmy with Blobbygun. It’s to distract him.
I also had Victoriarmor on me covering my whole body. Though it’s not for protection. It’s for my plan.
Ray continued running on the ground while the branches are falling behind him, and a huge fissure was following him. Timmy can’t see well because of the branches, but he should have Mind’s Eye and his earth magic so he can still follow after Ray.
Thinking that he can catch up to us, he sunk underground as the fissure stopped chasing after Ray. And Timmy suddenly showed himself before Ray as he brandishes his katana and thrust it forward toward Victoriarmor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The game of tag is over, Roy. You have done well, but that’s not enough... Wait, where’s Roy!?” Timmy shouted as the katana on his hand is stuck on Victoriarmor.
“You think I’m Roy? Sorry, but it was me all along! Victoria!” Victoria said.
There’s no me inside Victoriarmor. It was hollow as soon as Timmy entered the ground. As for me, I jumped off from Ray’s back, leaving behind my Reizpear with Victoria who has transformed into a living armor with the same weight as when I was inside of her so Timmy didn’t notice.
And when Timmy thrust his katana and pierced Victoriarmor, Victoria holds the katana with her hands as she used Aura thanks to riding Ray. Ray can also lend his Aura into Victoria. That is why I made this plan.
Even though Victoria can’t use Aura as well as I did, she was still a former Aura user. She can hold Timmy back for a few second.
And that’s enough for me to run down the sky and slashed my Blobbysword on the unprepared Timmy. Cutting his heart in two.
“Being stronger or being trickier. I chose both. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not someone who can become stronger by myself. I’m someone who can shamelessly ask for help, and I will ask for help when I can’t do something on my own. I guess this is my power of friendship if such thing exist,” I said to the dying Timmy.
“Ugh... Good job... But just because I’m dying doesn’t mean I can’t give my final blow!” Timmy shouted as he still able to move his already regenerated right hand which is still connected to his brain.
His punch, infused with Aura, didn’t hit me at all. It’s all because he has became weaker after being slashed.
He didn’t use his Aura to protect himself, and he didn’t use his magic even though that’s what he was supposed to do. That’s why my air magic, which created confusing gases, works on him in his last moment. That’s why his punch missed me as it blew away the trees on its path.
“...It seems like I won’t be able to listen to your reason why we need to do this. But thanks to you, I have grown much stronger than I expected I would be. Thank you, Aura Master,” I showed my gratitude toward the dying Aura Master who forced me to get stronger.
Soon after, I can no more sense life from the Aura Master. Which makes me the real and the only Aura user in this world. No. I’m already an Aura Master now.
“Congrats, Roy! You finally done it!” Victoria said as she has transformed into her original human form while still riding on Ray’s back. I guess she enjoyed the feeling of using Aura by herself. With this, she can help me better in a fight. I have more plans to use against the cult.
Kayla and the others who were watching came down and congratulate me for gaining victory.
Suddenly, I had some weird feeling coming from Timmy’s corpse. Although I didn’t sense any malice, I ordered the others to get back and prepare themselves.
What is coming from a corpse? Whatever it is, we need to be prepared.
