Chapter 583: Using Super Aura
“Go to hell, you bastard!”
Let’s go back to the moment before I shouted that out loud.
We were pausing our fight because I asked Timmy to teach Jewel more about her beastform magic. It is beneficial for us since we will soon confront the cult. That’s why I asked Timmy to stop the fight for a moment.
And it happened after I asked about his Aura ability.
I knew that it doesn’t matter to him if I know about his other element or his Aura ability. But he kept it a secret for a little longer just to provoke me. And although I felt a little angry, I can still be cool about it.
He showed me his other element, which is beastform, during our fight. And after that, I asked him about his Aura ability. Which he didn’t mind to tell at all. And that makes the unknown variables that he has reduced by two. Which should be good.
But his Aura ability is something that make me angry. Well, not really his Aura ability. But it’s closely related to that.
.....
“My Aura ability is... “Charm”. Just like your ghost friend, I can use Charm magic to seduce girls. I killed an incubus to gain this power,” Timmy said.
Charm? Killing an incubus? So, what his heart desired was a harem? To be surrounded by girls?
“I manifested my Aura first, and then my magic element. It took a while until I can look for my Aura ability. But by that time, I have became strong enough without it. What I desired was companionship. And of course I would pick women over boys. That’s why the Aura ability I got was charm magic,” Timmy explained.
“...Timmy, can you tell me one more thing? Maybe you wanted companions is not a lie. Maybe your two best friends who were with you were actually women and they were your lovers and not your friends. I don’t know and I don’t care. But tell me, is the reason you told me that we have to fight to the death is because I have a harem without having to use any charm magic?” I asked.
“Well... that is one of the reason I started this. Not the main one, but it’s still one of the reason,” Timmy said.
“You started a deathmatch because of jealousy! Go to hell, you bastard!” I shouted.
And that’s how the second round started. I came at him along with Shelia and Graham behind me, fully rested after the short break.
I thrusted my Reizpear at him while showing how angry I was. But I’m not really angry. I just want to use this chance to get hm lower his guard if possible.
Why should I be angry at him? I have a harem of beautiful women. That’s true. And it’s not the first time someone hate me for it. Too many sad men were jealous at me that I can’t count. So what if there’s another one?
“Oh, you’re pretending to be angry to let my guard down. Sorry, but that won’t work,” Timmy said as he transformed into his humanoid dragon form with a pair of wings on his back.
With just a little bit of Aura covering his body, None of our attack could pierce through his hard scales. Beastform and Aura are too powerful when they were combined. Now I’m jealous of him. Why didn’t I manifest beastform magic?
If his charm magic can only manipulate women, I don’t need to worry about it. But even without it, he’s already many times stronger than me. Seriously, do I need to get stronger in this fight? Where is the power of friendship now? Give me my miracle!
As a smart man... kind of smart I mean, I know there are some conditions where miracles can happen. One of them is through effort. If one seek for miracle, miracle could happen. Though not all the time.
And so, the only thing I can do is put in more effort. Fine, I won’t think much anymore.
It’s time to use my Super Aura. Five minutes. That’s how long I can use it. I don’t need to think whether five minutes is enough or not. What matter for now is putting in more effort and hopefully, miracle will happen.
“HAAAAAH!”
I used my Super Aura as I shouted. I don’t really need to shout, but it increase my spirit. Making me feel that I can do anything.
Still, this is my only chance. I have to use this well and kill Timmy.
“Finally, you’re using it. I will also show you my full strength now. Don’t die too soon,” Timmy said as he also showed me his strength.
The pressure from the both of us increased. But I feel like I got pushed back.
Shelia and Graham retreated to get some cover in the distance so they won’t get affected heavily. And Spot moved even further to protect those on his back.
No, I don’t need to care about the audiences anymore. Just me and my familiars. Shelia and Graham is in difficult position since they can’t handle this much pressure. But they need to get used to it.
The match continued. With me still getting pressed.
Every moves I did, even after I predicted several moves ahead, were all blocked easily. It’s not just his hard scales and his katana. His tail is also helping him. It’s such a pain to fight someone with an extra limb.
And even his slowly regenerating thumb, even though it’s still smaller than a normal thumb, his grip is strengthened.
The only good thing is that my attacks created some scratches on his scales. But they were just scratches.
“That’s good. Although you are not the fastest Aura user I have fought, you are already faster than most. But it’s not enough. After all, your power is still weaker than most Aura users I have fought,” Timmy said.
“I know that already!”
Among the ancient Aura users I have fought previously, I was never the stronger one. I was the faster one most of the time, but not all the time. So I know very well that I’m weak.
But those ancient Aura users got defeated by me because of my strategy. Stalling for time as much as possible and hit them when they lower their guard. Though it’s impossible to do it right now.
I need to be stronger. Faster. And have an extra limb!
...Wait, I don’t need to have extra limbs. I have familiars. I have two extra fighters instead!
“Shelia! Graham! Fight with me!” I shouted at the two who were just watching.
But I didn’t just shout. I also infused my Aura to the two monsters. My Super Aura.
Just like what I did to Victoria when she fought her master, I got my two other monsters to be able to use Aura momentarily.
So what if Timmy has five limbs? I have two extra fighters to help me.
“This is the power of friendship!” I shouted.
“You’re our master though. We’re basically your servants,” Victoria said.
“This is the power of a summoner!” I corrected my words.
That’s much better and more suitable.
With this, although they are not Aura users, they can use the power of Aura momentarily.
I was thinking of getting Victoria to fight by herself, but I think it’s better for the two of us to stay together.
“Graham, don’t make shadow clones or the Aura will be dispersed. Fight by yourself!” I said to Graham.
“Understood, Master!”
The three of us fought Timmy at the same time. Doing this will make the time limit reduced. From five minutes to two minutes at most. We have to defeat Timmy by that time.
“Trying best me using number? That’s good. But that’s not enough!”
Timmy twisted his body while holding his katana horizontally above his head, and then he quickly swing it down.
The force of his swing creates a crater on the ground. But we dodged it before it could hit us. Thanks to my Divine Vision, I could predict his move. Though I couldn’t predict how powerful it was, I still told my familiars beforehand to move via telepathy. This way, no one was hurt.
“Very nice! Come at me!” Timmy shouted.
With our teamwork, we finally managed to make a crack on his scales. It’s small, but a crack is a crack. And to distract Timmy, we pretend to focus on that one spot, while we actually think of making more cracks appearing on his scales.
Few more seconds until the time limit. And we finally created a gap on his scales.
I thrusted my Reizpear with all my strength into that one spot. Thinking that it’s my final attack and we could finally win.
“Did you forget about this?” Timmy asked as the rocks under him quickly raised and covering the open gap on his scales.
That’s it. My thrust with all my strength unable to damage him. We were so happy that we broke through his scales, forgetting that he’s an earth mage.
My strength returned back to normal as I can no longer feel the Super Aura on me.
After being returned back to the past, this is the first time I feel this much despair. It’s just impossible. Winning is impossible. I might die today.
