Chapter 38: Fireball (1)
tYQKWould you believe it if I told you that a kind of distortion in the air started rising from the sword?TWgPPDv
t2QIt was something straight out of fantasy or martial arts, so even I didn’t fully believe it myself.PIWdQ0
BEaAccording to Swordmaster, if you manage to grasp the sensation, it’s very easy.YKHZ2L
LQzdBut for someone like me to manifest energy just from hearing the explanation was something she had never seen before.R8ITc
sljtoZGEven she said it took her an hour to grasp the sensation.KxNUN0
DQBMEOf course, it might have been because her advice was filled with accumulated experience.Fzy1x
TxMOBTitle) Is this aura?kPiA

tLhPa8kI followed Swordmaster’s advice and this came out.JqP1s
rpxKyvbIs this aura?vckkYPe
5YUomeIt was too easy, so I’m asking.RDV
9cP2aBㄴSwordmaster) Yes, that’s aura;; I thought it wasn’t, but it was realjiCk
RZdgㄴWildGrills) Is that something good?4d1
spFzZ26ㄴDon’t show off, it’s annoyingMRxwY
dSbjㄴSome people take months and you did it in a day lolYI7nPm
zkDㄴMonths? It took me 3 years lolXEXo
5Z70PGㄴHow the hell did Swordmaster teach that? Teach me tooK1jEycs
6zIㄴWildGrills) She just told me to reproduce the sensation of mana and pass it to the swordkxve
WCP1x1hㄴWhat a ridiculous explanation9Z9d
M6oㄴIf that worked, anyone would use aura hahac166BxP
yTXjfNCㄴStarlightLady) Wow, amazing. What level would that be for a mage?YV9SqG
sHwpㄴIt would be like starting at 3 circlescrV
ZnAHM2ㄴStarlightLady) I see. Then it is impressiveALbobC
iqVbㄴAnd what level did you start at?mkng7N
9yuㄴStarlightLady) At 5 circlesVBHq
5m6uPAㄴShowing off too lolIjTNK
VqcBIMIㄴLike using aura blade from the start lol7sY
5DpCoi9ㄴIt’s not aura blade, it’s sword energysGn
ErPaeIDㄴIt’s the same, idiotiYHGBP
2LjㄴPrideCTJRUt
eaLㄴWildGrills) Then, if I concentrate it, it becomes aura blade, right? Ok, I’ll practiceNXe
gC7H9HㄴSwordmaster) Practicing is good, but what matters is maintaining the sensationpHmd
Fi4GQㄴWildGrills) Can it be forgotten?VAge
fZYJRrㄴSwordmaster) It’s like breathingehIQ9l
gxbDriYAs soon as I showed the aura, the comments exploded.uLrth
eX5GpHeavenlyDemon didn’t comment, probably because she was busy as a submoderator.v92szj
FHMKNOr maybe she would message me privately.PDlHni
HO9‘Is it really that good?’Ox74
OTkNfflI looked closely at the sword.xUEE
pgl2fpI could feel the mana leaving my body.xLxQyF
btRBut it recharged with every breath, so it wasn’t a problem.F2D
YFikbup‘Swordmaster said I had to compress it.’BxU0M3
3AwJI had to practice until that distortion took on a sharp form.KvqA55
DklVDEGFrom there on, it was a matter of talent.kDJS0qh
gexQMLNEven so, Swordmaster said she would help me.O4MiJS
T5is‘I feel like I’m only receiving…’8GsC
0evI wanted to give her something in return.qsjc
wcSuQyBut she even rejected rare herbs.Dreco9a
XMkQ‘Difficult…’X9Zw
S0w4iShe was more complicated than HeavenlyDemon.EDd
8Z6o4J3I didn’t like just receiving.MpgU
BSp‘First I’ll try something.’3F0
vnjcFjI picked up a woodcutter’s axe.x1kf
Dao9XWonmo was sleeping.xDEqL8
Ut60BoThe sloth was on my back.eQ2
8DzTo test the aura, nothing better than chopping.LnjeX
pbDu‘Before, I needed several hits…’OgvZ7D
JCxlI recalled the sensation.CmIuu6
sBHAFirst, feel the mana in the dantian.4pT
8gZThen draw it out and send it to the weapon.BLB
5yk9‘If it empties, it needs to be recharged.’ZqBYdR
u08eaBut Swordmaster never ran out of mana.tkjC
sZqC5I wasn’t sure about myself either.j5IDG4Y
hdFNY‘I must keep using the internal energy method.’ZehU
N8URI sent mana to the axe.MoXMm7
PAInfaThe distortion appeared.8z1i
nbN2om“Hah!”ry2
Mc6jAI struck the trunk.iB1cYc
NNhpCrack!BrWtFj
JMZThe axe went through the tree.C3U
WBOXT1It wasn’t a clean cut it shattered it.KJL
OAyThe tree fell.vE3Cd
jkr“……”HFeYzH
f6K1‘It doesn’t cut it explodes.’LNWxzF2
rXcp3I observed the trunk.CDkBSV5
i91VwI knew it increased power, but not this much.NlR
uoNR1QL‘It makes sense the axe is for breaking.’nr7B
1sCRWith a sword it would be different.4Oj
HolkX‘Seriously?’P6jx
NGgU6WI went for HeavenlyDemon’s sword.kpjSd
7AriqEWithout mana, I placed it against the trunk.9ZCY
mHo2vqSss.sRIci
egtyw“Huh?”s67zoqm
NyVRQnIt went in effortlessly.qtJe1

Z9De‘She gave me something like this?’pByGSJL
M7tZI felt respect and concern.wHmN9s6

IhH6RRU1:30 pm.uyJUYvI
4kVIeh‘Should I cheat?’4wH0Y8
1WwIt would be good practice.Q1V8PnZ
imd6OThe problem was the muscle mushrooms.PZLDI
bhyE2OMMaybe I should eliminate them first.mldz
vokFRB‘Also, there was a cave, so I can check it along the way.’dcU
WON7bdgI made a decision. I’ll eliminate the muscle mushroom first.ofv
8fCIt has great power in each strike, but it’s slow.Cc5Tg2N
vxFUAlso, they said it’s weak to fire, so it shouldn’t be difficult.tqmxRM
YJqPms2‘Or wasn’t it weak to fire? They said fire was necessary because of those spores…’wB2
ySWLooks like I’ll have to carry a sword in one hand and a torch in the other.qIFRXTZ
cj2Q7emI remembered the golden shield that was crushed in a single blow.aF8
TeIRIf I get hit by something like that, there probably won’t be anything left of me.Gn6Y5W
0zf6qSo it’s better to fight at a distance.N5mByjs
drZe‘But it doesn’t seem like arrows will work.’OxS
feLkqaEven an ant has a head, thorax, and abdomen.Ib6W
uMM5But the muscle mushroom doesn’t.4MWtoX
rPVIt’s like an elongated plant.ZLqtUb
WBZ1nnUnless you destroy it or burn it, it will be difficult.OLpe
