Chapter 574: I Got Closer to Become Aura Master

The next day, I returned to the testing ground after my body has been healed. I have the greatest medical team in my house. With Sophie doing the surgery, and Kayla helping her by healing magic.

Thanks to Shadow, our medical knowledge has advanced even further. Though those knowledge were not needed for my surgery, it’s still good to know. And Sophie also has improved a lot. She finished my surgery in less than one hour without my instruction.

Although using healing magic I could be healed in an instant, it’s best for broken bones to be fixed first. Especially if the position of the bones are weird.

After surgery, I rested the whole night while thinking about my battle with Mona, and my next battle with Bearded Baldy. Although the ones who will fight him are Shelia and Graham, I will also be present.

Especially knowing that Shelia and Graham alone won’t be enough to defeat him. And this time, I will be the backup for them when they lose. Doesn’t that make me the main force if I know that they will lose? Well, doesn’t matter.

Anyway, here we are again. In the testing ground, facing Bearded Baldy, whose real name I don’t even know. And my two monsters are fighting him on even ground.

It needs two powerful monsters to be even with Bearded Baldy. Just shows how strong he is.

.....

In these past few months, they also learned to fight with coordination. They no longer just fight however they want, but also tried to cover for each other.

Actually, I can tell that Bearded Baldy hasn’t gone all out yet. He’s still holding back even though he’s facing two monsters at once.

With Shelia fighting in close range, and Graham used her light magic to attack, they could cause any trouble fighting any other enemies. But Bearded Baldy is too strong.

His body is bigger than me. And he fight without using weapon. He’s the master of close combat fight.

If we fight normally, I would lose. That’s why when Shelia and Graham asked me if they could fight him first, I agreed.

And finally, Bearded Baldy used more strength and hit Graham with a straight punch.

Even after Graham used Light Shield to protect himself, he couldn’t protect himself. The shield got destroyed and could not even stop Beaded Baldy’s punch even for an instant, as his fist reached Graham’s face.

But Shelia then slashed her claws at Bearded Baldy’s arm that is punching Graham. Bearded Baldy then pulled his fist back, and Graham didn’t receive full damage because of it.

But that was still too strong. Graham couldn’t even get his knees straight, so he can only fly with his wings. As for Shelia, Bearded Baldy then quickly threw his other fist at her. And the two then started exchanging fists with Bearded Baldy has the upper hand since he’s both stronger and faster than Shelia who is a werewolf.

Graham wouldn’t just sit back. He finally created shadow clones of himself. And unlike before, he can now created multiple clones. About five of them.

Graham then rested for a while, and when his clones are fighting Bearded Baldy, Shelia also stepped back to rest. Graham casted healing magic to the both of them while observing the fight.

The shadow clones were not a problem for Bearded Baldy. But since they have good teamwork, they could delay him for a little longer while Graham and Shelia were recovering.

I watched and observed Bearded Baldy’s move from the side. He was so strong, but it’s not just his body and Aura. His punches and kicks could even reach further just like my slash using Aura and weapon. But he did it unarmed. This is something that I haven’t fully learned yet since Timmy started the test before I could learn it completely. Which is why I need to learn by watching.

And I didn’t just stand there and watch. Using summoning magic I learned from a summoner here, I can connect my mind to the two monsters.

I send them where Bearded Baldy’s attack would come from, and they would react to it in their own way. This is actually a three-man team instead of two.

So far, they managed to perform well. But the more Bearded Baldy shows his true strength, the harder it is for Shelia and Graham to follow my command.

‘That’s enough from me. The rest is up to you,’ I said to the two monsters telepathically.

Shelia and Graham then fight with Bearded Baldy their own way while minding their partner. Making sure that their attack won’t hit the other.

“What’s this? Your teamwork become lousy all of a sudden. I guess I should end this fight sooner so I can fight Roy,” Bearded Baldy said.

Shelia and Graham were starting to lose. And finally, Shelia got punched by Bearded Baldy and knocked out. Leaving Graham alone.

As for Graham, he was about to get hit with a punch from Bearded Baldy. And that’s what I have been waiting for.

I didn’t think that Shelia and Graham could win, so I need to wait for the opportune moment before I make my move. And that time is now.

As Bearded Baldy punched Graham in the face, I finally made my move.

I run toward Graham, and then to the arm that was punching him. I pour all my strength and Aura into both my hands which are covered with Victoriagloves, and then I gripped Bearded Baldy’s arm with both my hand.

And then, I quickly twisted my grip on his arm as strong as possible, and rip it off of his body.

With the cost of Shelia and Graham knocked out, I can only rip his right hand. And as soon as I ripped his hand off, his left fist is quickly approaching me. But I expected that, so I dodged it before it arrives.

At least with this much, he will be considerably weakened.

But the man I fight right now is not so weak that he would fall with just the loss of one arm. He then started attacking me without caring about the pain in his right arm. Even though he’s a zombie, he still has a sense of pain. But it seems as if his sense of pain doesn’t exist.

From two on one, it turned into a one on one unarmed combat. I also made Victoria into Victoriarmor. Not that I need it. It’s because I want to get experience from killing Bearded Baldy. If I fight with my own hand, my summoning element won’t improve. That’s why I wore Victoriarmor after I ripped Bearded Baldy’s arm off to cover my whole body.

It was an intense battle. Even though he only has one hand, and that hand is not his dominant one, I still couldn’t get the upper hand.

“Don’t think! There are times in a fight where thinking won’t get you anywhere! Swing your arms and legs!” Bearded Baldy shouted.

Stop thinking? That’s right. I’m the kind of person who would overthink stuffs. Even in the middle of a fight.

But Bearded Baldy is different. Even when he lost his arm, he continued swinging his fist and legs. That’s how he can get stronger.

It might not be very me, but this is the only way to get stronger when fighting against someone like him.

Forget about strategy. Forget about the cult. Forget about the Evil God. Forget about everything.

Face the enemy in front of you without fear. That’s what Bearded Baldy taught us many times. No fighting technique or whatever.

In a fight, you need only to trust your body that you will never lose. That’s all he taught. And that’s how I will fight right now.

“Good! That’s it! You have become stronger than before now!” Bearded Baldy shouted.

But I ignored it. As long as he’s still standing, I will keep on moving my body.

Little by little, I started overpowering him. And I feel something inside of me. A kind of powerful pressure that I can spread to everyone. Much like what Timmy did. But it’s weak.

This is it. I am slowly reaching the stage of Aura Master. And there are still few opponents I need to face. I will be an Aura Master even before fighting Timmy.

“This is it! This is the perfect ending for my life!” Bearded Baldy said as he used all his power against me.

He swung his fist at me, but I parry it before countering with a powerful right punch through his body. He died with a happy expression on his face.

“Congratulation, Roy you have slowly get closer to Aura Master. What will you do now?” Timmy asked.

“...I will take a few days off to get used to this power. I’ll be back once I’m ready like usual,” I replied.

“Understood. Come back whenever you’re ready. Your next opponent won’t be any weaker than him,” Timmy said.

I know. There’s no way the last few people I need to fight would be weaker than those I have fought.

But with this new strength I have, I am confident I can pass the test. Still, Timmy is the strongest opponent I need to fight later. But as Bearded Baldy said, I only need to face the enemy and don’t think too much.

...Though I still didn’t get his name. Well, that’s fine. He will be remembered as Bearded Baldy forever.
