Chapter 75
I clamped the blanket to my mouth at the sudden pain in my shoulder.
“Extinguish──!!”
Meanwhile, the flame continued to burn my shoulder.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the flames were made of Aura, not ordinary fire.
But why is an Aura flame burning my shoulder?
The answer came when I looked at my shoulder where the flame landed.
Slowly, like a laser engraving, a black figure began to form on my shoulder and as the image unfolds, it reveals itself to be the side view of a wolf.
The red aura and the pain disappeared only after the shading was perfectly etched.
[Character “Eugene Corleone: Epic Imprint” creation completed!]
The pain in my shoulder was no longer there, as if it had been a dream.
“......I’m going to die, really.”
There were so many different ways for each character to get their [Epic Imprint] engraved.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
It could be embedded in their favorite objects, carved into their bodies in the form of symbols, or appear in forms that only they could see.
And the rarest form of marking was the writing or drawing on the body.
Even then, most of the time, it’s only in a shamanic sense, so it’s just patterns, lines, and writing.
It was rare to see such intuitive drawings but a painting like this......I had no idea what other people would think when they saw it.
“Well, at least it’s not an ordinary picture.”
I open my status window for the first time in a while and look at my attributes and skills.

[Aura Sonar]
And this bracelet, he said, was meant to fix that, and bind the aura together.
Well, that makes sense, except for the...... problem.
“But I’m not an old man, and if I wear it, I won’t be able to use my aura, so how am I supposed to train?”
“Oh, your blood will take care of that.”
“......?”
“That unrestrained aura you showed me. A normal Awakened would have a hard time even spreading their aura, but you do it like you breathe. It’s still a guess, but wearing it won’t prevent you from using that, right?”
So......I might be immune to the inhibitor?
His words seemed to answer all my questions.
Vito Corleone is a national power, a man who had no teacher, but rose to the top on his own, before he had an organization.
The question was why the state failed to stop him and it occurred to me that it might be because of the aura nature of Vito Corleone.
After all, if it doesn’t stop him, he’s going to do a lot of damage.
“Is this......something I can just wear on my hand?”
“I don’t know. I always have someone put it for me.”
“Like when you get arrested for killing that villain?”
“Shut up, asshole, those guys deserved to die!”
Steeling myself, I slowly pick up the bracelet.
This is just an ordinary bracelet.
This is just an ordinary bracelet.
This is just.......
......
...
Mmm.......
Oh......?
Huh?
“Why, what’s with the look on your face?”
“I’m surprised because it feels weird.”
“Does it feel weird?”
“Yeah, it’s more comfortable than I thought it would be, but then again, it feels like it’s tickling my body.”
“......I thought it would be unpleasant.”
I wonder why he doesn’t seem to trust me.
“Would you like to try it old man?”
“Do you think I’m crazy to put a suppressor on me?”
......What does that make me?
I held back my anger, remembering that my opponent was an Aura Master.
Yes, he’s stronger than me.
Let’s be patient. I must endure.......
“So, how is your aura?”
Hearing Kwak Chun-sik’s words, I checked the aura inside my body.
“It definitely feels like the auras are clumping together a bit, like...... something that used to be liquid has turned into jelly?”
“But since you say it’s jelly, it seems it can still move.”
“Yes.”
Slowly, I pulled the aura out of my hand, and a red aura bloomed on my palm.
However, instead of spreading immediately as it usually does, the aura slowly wobbles like a flame.
I willed it to reshape itself, and I could feel the aura’s shape change slightly.
“Hmmm...... It certainly seems to be moving.”
“That’s right. For now, you need to keep moving the aura in this state to get a feel for it. With the inhibitors on it will be easier than starting from scratch.”
Apparently feeling that his method was working very well, he looked at the aura, which continued to squirm in my palm, with a smug smile.
“So that’s all we do for today?”
“Of course not. For the next few days, you will wear the bracelet since you need it to learn Aura control, and it will help you immensely.”
......Wear this for the next few days?
Really?
