==="You... how the hell did you get so strong?" - Skayler asked startled as he felt Juri's aura.
"Did you notice?" - Juri laughed.
"Impossible not to notice, you're exuding a lot of Mana... that's shocking!" - Skayler said impressed.
"I've awakened my Aura." - Said Juri smiling.
"But that doesn't explain so much Mana... I can feel a [Mana Core]... no, it's different, what have you done?!" - Skayler held Juri's shoulders and asked as if he were a fanatic.
"It's because of my [Mana Control] and [Magic Veins], Aura is what warriors use to get Mana inside their bodies strengthening it.
I pretty much started down that path, I just twisted it to make it possible to cast spells, so with me learning the 'right' way to have more Mana and so on, what do you think happens?" - Juri asked smiling.
Skayler became thoughtful and widened his eyes.
- "By awakening Aura, you who already had large amounts of Mana inside your body, as well as had a lot of Mana on your outside accumulating due to the [Mana Field], ended up consolidating all that with the help of Aura, which is just a variable of Mana, thus forming your [Mana Core] in a forced way...
but... technically that's impossible and should kill you!"
"It almost killed, but I have my [Chi], I was able to balance things out, it was dangerous, but I created a [Life Core], so I call it, it has a lot of Mana and Health in it, it's actually lower in Mana capacity compared to a real [Mana Core], but that's because of the method I'm using to practice Aura!" - Said Juri calmly.
"What do you mean?" - Skayler asked seriously.
"You know Luria? The Ice Elf?" - Asked Juri and Skayler nodded, he had met Luria and was quite impressed with her strength.
"She practices one of the best training methods for Aura Knights, which was tailor-made for her race, which develops something called [White Star], which significantly increases her physical and mental abilities, as well as her Mana Capacity, not to mention her ability to withstand attacks!" - Juri said calmly.
"I know, I know that Advanced Aura training methods have the ability to develop some cores or spheres that complement their Aura, allowing them greater strength, but few have the talent for it, Marshal Jootaro is one of the few I know, he practices that technique you bought from me, he even improved it and taught his granddaughter, I think he formed 15 Blood Orbs!" - Skayler said understandingly.
"I have been researching many of these methods, including the one Luria practices, even if I can't practice it, it doesn't mean I can't take it apart and use its principles, so with the knowledge it has over time, well, I created my own Aura Training Method.
So I assimilated something like the [Blood Orbs] and the [White Stars], as well as incorporated several other concepts, along with my Magical knowledge, Martial Arts and so on, thus creating what I like to call: Vitality Sovereign's Handbook!" - Juri smiled.
"Interesting, I believe you haven't written it yet, correct?" - Skayler asked with a certain greed.
He is hiding his shock and surprise, Juri improving a lot in his mind, he already treated her as a monstrous genius, now not even the greatest geniuses all together, could match Juri's talent.
It's one thing to unlock her Chi on her own, as well as remodeling some techniques, learning in less than 2 months to form Runes.
That already made her a monstrous genius, but now, dismantling several Aura Manuals, then creating an even more powerful one and assimilating the concepts of Magic and Martial Arts into that... Juri is many levels above that.
"Actually I don't even wish to turn it into a book, I don't want others to learn it!" - Juri said without hesitation.
Skayler raised an eyebrow, but found it understandable, as Juri's Mana has more than doubled, even though he equals the Great Magi, he still hasn't reached the best and most talented.
But that's because he doesn't really understand what the [Life Core] is, so he asked for more details.
Juri even allowed him to magically inspect his body, which gave Skayler a huge shock, because he can figure out the location of his [Life Core], it's in his body, but at the same time it's not.
The power radiating from it... practically 2/3 of Juri's entire Mana comes from it, which amazed him, but he saw that wasn't all, the vitality exuded, the power connecting every limb of his body, every organ, flesh, vein and so on, this must even be interwoven into his Soul!
Skayler was shocked, then knowing that Juri can form up to another 5 of these Cores, which in theory will quadruple his Mana if he follows these patterns.
Not to mention that this is radiating immense power, which is greatly strengthening Juri's body, clearly Juri's body itself is already very powerful, so the increase doesn't seem that great, but it's still quite significant.
And he understood that if he follows the rules like the [Blood Orbs] or other similar power vessels of the Aura Warriors, well... it will create a synergy getting stronger and stronger! S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Jootaro is recognized as a monster, for he has not only formed 10 Blood Orbs, but has modified his method of practicing Aura, expanding the limit to 15 Blood Orbs, still within the limitations of the world!
To Skayler, Jootaro is the most powerful man on this continent, and when the world's restrictions were gone, Skayler went to him to talk and see what he thought.
The result impressed him, Jootaro was getting stronger and stronger at an alarming rate!
His [Aura] had also undergone enormous changes, to the point of allowing Jootaro to solidify it.
Such a phenomenon was only described in the oldest legends, the superior strength of the [Aura], the [Solidification of Aura] or [Solid Aura]!
Even though it's in its early stages, since it's only been a short time since he developed it, it's still very powerful, and Jootaro also informed him that he feels it's possible to create even more [Blood Orbs].
This just shows how terrifying Jootaro's power and talent is, it's even a blessing for the nation that Jootaro was rational and longed for peace, and reconciliation, as well as for his King to have hooked the heart of a young Orc girl.
Otherwise, if Jootaro had such power being an enemy or time ambition of conquest, likely the 5 bordering Kingdoms would have collapsed by now!
(Author: I am sad... when I was creating Jootaro, I ended up making an even bigger monster, not on Ikiria's level, but not much smaller...)
...
With the development of the [Aura], Juri continued his studies of Magic, which became even easier!
The [Life Core] has many hidden effects, that's for sure!
But there's also the fact that she has a lot more Mana, an incredible increase in her Intelligence and Wisdom, which contribute a lot to this.
For Juri, she now knows an efficient method of at Level 200, evolving into a Superior Human, she needs to unlock her [Aura], [Chi] and try to get something like the [Vitality Sovereign's Handbook].
Knowing what it takes, Juri was even more excited for the future.
And well, with the focus on her studies in Magic, she began to incorporate more and more of her Runes into her Spells.
The use of [Elemental Magic] became even more efficient, where the Magic of the 4 Basic Elements merged and became [Basic Elemental Magic].
It doesn't have that big of an effect, it's simply a mixture of Fire, Earth, Water and Wind elemental spells.
This was to make the System more organized, Juri even asked the System to do this with as much as possible.
And the System did, where it converted Skills like [Hammer Handling], [Fencing], [Spearcrafting] and so on, into [White Weapons Mastery].
His [Firearms Mastery] became [Firearms Expert] when he reached Tier 2.
Skills like [Throwing] and [Archery], became [Long Range Weapons Mastery].
It looks the same as [Firearms Mastery], but only it is for throwing weapons, bows and the like, but if it is Crossbows, Revolvers, Rifles and so on, it doesn't affect.
The Skills: Computing, Engineering, Mechanics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Physics, etc., are divided into 3 Skills, which are [Programming], [Technology] and [Science].
All of which are already Tier 2, with "Advanced" in the name.
[Programming] is the ability to know everything about computers, an improvement of [Computing], only for a more internal part, i.e. Internet and programs!
The effects in the area have improved a lot, but the technical knowledge to repair computers has decreased in terms of parts.
Of course, it still exists and is enough for her to make a living repairing computers, something that certainly will not happen.
But for this there is [Technology], which encompasses the ability to repair computers, appliances, cars, etc., as well as the ability to assemble them too!
Finally we have [Science], which encompasses several areas of it, biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry and so on.
The 3 Skills complement each other very well, Technology being the most important of the 3, but this is in practical terms.
[Technology] makes you able to look at something and know how to move it.
But if she didn't have that, just looking at a car engine having [Programming] or [Science], she wouldn't know what to do with that.
Well, since Juri won't be focusing much on technology in her life, since there isn't much she can do at the moment.
Juri has asked the System to remove Skills like [Betting], [Acting], [Bargaining], [Information Gathering], [Perception], [Cunnilingus], [Pleasure Techniques] and [Equitation] from the list.
She's not deleting them and losing her progress in Skills, she simply found it pointless to look at them and their levels, since they have no substantial effects, even if they advance to Tier 2, even though whatever.
It's like [Math], it never became a Skill, since it's more of a calculus thing and complements other areas, even though it's very important, in the end it didn't become a Skill due to lack of the need.
Not to mention that the Skills she listed to be hidden, are Skills that she finds hard to get up to Tier 3.
From what you understand, the Tier 1 to 2 Skills, them being passive and knowledge related like those, won't have much effect on you.
But when you advance to Tier 3, huge changes will occur and the Skill can turn into something like [Stealth], which became [Shadow Path].
Juri found out from the System that [Shadow Path] is not the true evolution of [Advanced Stealth], but a variation.
The true evolution of [Advanced Stealth] is called [Concealment], which greatly diminishes presence.
[Shadow Path] has the effects of [Concealment], only much better and it has become something active, being able to assimilate shadows.
And passively it has a great deterrent effect, making it difficult for ordinary people with low perception to notice it.
And well, since Juri sees no hope of reaching Tier 3 with these Abilities, why have them on display, just taking up space!
And well, that was the big change in the Skills, the others there was no reason to mess with, since they are still useful.
Juri's studies and practice continued, until finally her [Paranormal Knowledge] and [Negative Energy Control] became Advanced, i.e. Tier 2!
With this, she acquired the Skill [Fusion of Mana and Negativity]!
A Tierless Skill, which has [Magical Knowledge/Negative Energy] with [Mana Control/Negative Energy] as a base.
Next to that is the Level 20 [Magic Runes, Spells Creation].
But there you have it, she still couldn't merge Rituals and Spells, the reason? Juri has no Rituals!
She has never done a ritual before, so how will she assimilate both?
Juri even manages to incorporate some of the Death Element into her spells, this is due to [Black Heart], a fact that impressed Skayler as well as made him jealous.
But well, with Juri officially learning how to balance Mana and Negative Energy, that ended the agreement between her and Skayler.
Juri has long taught Skayler the basics and left him with many translated books with even more knowledge.
Skayler also learned his use of Elemental Magic without the need for Magic Runes, that is, [Elemental Control], is what Skayler calls this branch of magic.
Both knowledge combined and Skayler had his mind opened and expanded to new horizons.
Juri received runic knowledge, many books with marked runes, including the Magic Runes of Enchantment, which she still needs to study.
Now what she needs is to understand and study the Magic Runes further, develop her own, improve existing ones and become even stronger.
The branch of magic is time consuming, Juri must study now if she wants to improve, Skayler cannot do much, since formally speaking, Juri is not his student.
So, both parties got what they wanted and even a little more, but that's it!
So Skayler kicked her out of his Tower, a sudden action that shocked Juri.
"Wait what? I am an Archmage and I need to focus on my studies, I have no more time to teach you, since I have nothing left to teach you you monster!
Now go create your own Wizard Tower, or whatever you prefer, just leave me alone, I need to get back to my studies and improve myself!" - Those were Skayler's words to Juri's shock.
And before she knew it, she had already been expelled....
Letting out a sigh, Juri scratched her head, before deciding to return home.
She got what she wanted, now she needs to refine what she discovered and get stronger.
Juri saw that she has many things now, so she thought about what to focus on.
1 Leveling up is essential!
2 Improving Martial Arts and her Chi!
3 Get used to the Aura and form new Life Nuclei!
4 Improve your Elemental Manipulation and Mana Control!
5 Study the Magic Runes of Spells and Enchantments!
6 Improve your Forging and Alchemy skills!
7 Improve your Paranormal knowledge and see if you will perform Rituals or not!
8 Study a little more with the System to know what Techniques to pass to Luria and Ikiria!
9 Pick up a certain mount from the royal stable, which has been forgotten and must have gotten quite fat by now!
10 Get 2 mounts for your ladies!
11 Try to get Legendary Items or better!
Looking at the list, Juri felt a headache, from the 8th objective and onwards, it's all extra, the focus being from the 1st or 7th objectives.
Juri found herself with a lot of headache, she saw that it would be better to focus on studying little, maybe focus on Magic or Physical Combat.
If she focuses on [Chi] now, she will only need to reach Level 400, evolve her Race and continue practicing her Martial Arts that she will get stronger and stronger.
If you practice [Aura], your Attributes will continue to grow with or without Levels through "potential bubbles", but this is also limited by your Level.
The closer your Attributes are to your Base Level multiplied by 10, the less the "potential bubbles" increase, your Wisdom has only increased because it has far exceeded your Level.
In other words, if she keeps practicing Aura, it will take 1 year or more before her Physical Attributes reach 2,200 which is her current Level.
But if she goes up to Level 300, Level that Luria is already at and Ikiria is already close to Level 250, more "potential bubbles" will be burst.
In other words, her focus now is to level up and let her Points build up, leave them accumulated for a case of need.
Even if you find it difficult for another danger like Priscilla to arise in the Dungeon world, it is not an impossibility.
Not to mention that Priscilla was only the rank of a [LORDE/REI], meaning that there must be powerful individuals and monsters of Rank [KING] around the world, maybe even higher!
If Priscila was already so powerful around Levels 250, imagine a real [KING]?
The good thing is that Priscilla didn't know how to use all her power, just as she made many enemies who wanted her dead, otherwise she would be even more dangerous.
