Chapter 146 Using Aura In Battle

The top layer of his dagger was covered in semi-sword energy, but to deal damage, Rishi needed aura to be at the top. He started thinking of many solutions before a simple thought came to his head.

What if I create tiny holes on the vessel made up of semi-sword energy? Will my aura also come out as water comes out of the holes in the bucket?

Rishi tried it, and his theory worked, but not as he had expected. Only a small amount of aura came out of it before it disappeared due to not having any mana for survival.

The solution to this problem is very simple: Rishi just needed to add some mana to the surface, which will help the aura survive.

He tried it, and as he had thought it worked, his whole dagger was now covered in a black, flame-like aura.

In a simple way, Rishi first plated his wooden dagger in a metallic (semi-sword energy) layer, after which he created a small metallic bottle (a vessel made up of semi-sword energy) to cover his dagger, and he then filled it with petrol (mana) so that the little flame (Aura) he has can enter the bottle.

Then he made holes in the metallic bottle from which a small amount of fire (Aura) could come out.

At last, he used more petrol (mana) to help the fire (Aura) keep burning. After the whole process, he was successfully able to cover his wooden dagger with fire without actually harming it.

He was just celebrating when he heard, "You are dead bitch; after taking care of you, we will slaughter that vermin too."

"Do you think he does not know about the situation till now? He would have already run away," mocked the maid while laughing.

The assassins laughed and said, "We already know everything about the target and have covered the whole apartment with a shield. It would be easier for us to catch him if he touched the barrier and revealed his position."

Rishi heard the scream of his maid; he looked from the cover and saw her on her knees. There were still six Assassins left now, and they had their daggers pointed at her.

They were just about to take care of his maid when Rishi used 'Phantom Steps' and approached them. The assassins saw a presence near them; while Rishi's stealth was hard for others to detect, for assassins, it was not hard to detect.

Rishi was already within six meters of them; he took out his sword before looking for the attack pattern he would use to attack all of them at once.

He first applied the high-level paralysis poison that he had bought to use against wild beasts to his dagger.

The assassins were cautious when Rishi used the 'Sword Dash' skill and attacked the first opponent with his dagger. He also used 'Quick Draw' to increase the number of attacks.

He disappeared from his position and appeared behind his opponent while landing two attacks on him.

After targeting the first opponent, his cooldown for 'Sword Dash' was reset. He used 'Sword Dash' again and hit the second opponent before using it 'again' and chaining down between the five opponents.

He wanted to target the sixth opponent too, but he had backed away very quickly. Rishi took out his sword and said, "Who sent you?"

"It has nothing to do with you," said the first Assasin.

"What will you do even after knowing? It's not like you are going to live," said the other assailant while laughing.

"Do you believe your poison would work on us? We are assassins; we know how to handle poison," said the assassin at the back in a mocking tone. They took out a detoxifying potion and drank it.

"Take care of him fast; we don't have much time left," said their leader.

The assassins used stealth, and the battle continued again; Rishi also disappeared, and the battle continued.

This time the battle was between invisible opponents, and Rishi was able to locate them due to the sixth sense he got from his 'enhanced focus' skill and the enhanced senses he got from his passive 'beast sense.'

The maid looked at the battle, where she could only see the spark created by the clash of opponents and hear the metallic sounds; she was sweating.

When she was about to die, she was not scared, but now that she saw that she was unable to protect Rishi, she became scared.

She took out potions and drank them before attacking the leader of their assassins. She decided to hold the assassin leader for as long as she could.

Due to the reach and the sword-swinging style of Talwar, which was very good at defending against multiple opponents, the fight continued, and Rishi was getting injured, but there was a smile on his face.

The movement of his opponent was slowing down with time; the effect of the potions they drank was over now. It would have worked if the poison was made for humans, but this poison was specially created for high-level monsters that had very high poison resistance.

The potion made for low-level poisons would only stop the effect of the poison for a while; to stop the effect completely, only a high-level detoxifying potion could do.

The opponents were also noticing their reaction speed and movement speed decreasing, but they used their defensive skills and defended easily against Rishi's weak attacks.

"What is happening to my body? Why is my moment speed dwindling? Is it an effect of some skill?" said one Assasin.

"I think it is because of the poison," said another.

They were trying to figure out the reason when their bodies suddenly stopped moving. Rishi smiled and said, "It's over now."

"Use defensive skills, idiots," said their leader. The assassins followed his command and surrounded themselves with many defensive skills.

Rishi's lips curled up into a smirk as he looked at the opponent. He started the process he had theorized just now; He first covered his sword in semi-sword energy.

After it, he created a vessel, and a light golden glow appeared on his sword. Rishi used step two and filled the vessel with mana before summoning his aura.

A small black material appeared on his hands before entering his sword. Rishi jumped at the opponent by covering his sword in mana from the outside while opening the holes to release his aura.

He used all his focus and looked at a pattern before using 'Sword Dash' with 'Quick Draw.' A mysterious black shadow appeared on the battleground, dancing from one opponent to another.

When the assassin leader and the maid saw what was happening, they saw a sword burning in a black flame, hitting all the defensive spells and shields of the opponents.

But the strange thing was that any shield or barrier with which the Black Flame came into contact was destroyed. It cut through them as a hot knife cuts through butter.
