131-130 Dariel masters the aura



 I've always wondered.
 Can an aura only be inhabited by a weapon? And.

 A sword for a slash.
 For stinging, it's a bow and arrow.
 To hit, use a hammer.
 Shield to guard.

 ...and let the weapons that match their characteristics dwell in them. Only then will you be able to use the power of your aura to its fullest extent.

 So, why can't it be housed in any other material?
 Like your own body, for example.

 It is still common for adventurers to strengthen their bodies by wearing an aura of unmeaningfulness with slash-and-strike defense.
 In addition to this, the adventurers can use weapons that have an aura of semantics to fight against magicians.

 However, if the aura of the aura of the meaning of the Slash-and-Thrust Defense is inhabited by the body, it can already cut and shatter anything.

 A weapon is a tool.
 There are times when they inevitably get out of your hands, so it's more convenient that way.

 But if it's so convenient, someone else must have accomplished it before I even thought of it.
 The human race has a long history.

 I've been experimenting with various methods, and I've come to understand the reasoning behind not having an aura in my body.

 Aura must first of all dwell in matter to be effective.
 The reason why it dwells in matter is to strengthen the 'meaning' of the matter it dwells in.

 If it is a slash, it means to cut through.
 If it is a sting, it means to pierce.
 .........and so on.......and so on......if you're going to let it dwell anyway, it's more convenient to use a substance that has the same meaning.

 In that respect, the human body is a tricky thing.
 It contains many meanings in one.

 Even a single palm can be smashed with a fist, slashed with a hand knife, grasped with five fingers, or even caressed or touched to show affection.

 And so many meanings make it ambiguous.
 It is very difficult to reinforce only one meaning with an aura from one that has multiple meanings.

 Most of the time, the aura is immediately unbalanced and the reinforcement is broken, or if it's not done properly, the body itself will be overloaded and it will destroy itself.

 Probably as a history of the development of aura management techniques, the body was first strengthened with a simple aura, and then the weapon was picked up and fought as it was.
 Over time, they came up with the idea of applying aura to their weapons as well, and developed a characteristic aura of slashing, striking and defending that was more suited to the form of the weapon.

 The human body, which has too many meanings, cannot be endowed with a characteristic aura.
 Even if it was possible, it would require very precise aura manipulation.

 I've tried everything I could, but....
 But I've managed to make it possible.



By blocking our weaponry with his bare hands...?
"You put an aura of guard characteristics on your body...?

 The adventurers who were repelled back could only be stunned by what had happened before their eyes.

 I am a body of steel, wearing an aura of guard, the most defensive of the four aura characteristics.
 A weapon with a half-hearted aura can't even scratch you.

"Huh!
''Ughhhhhh!''

 He released his aura in a further chase and blasted the adventurers with his momentum.
 Strengthening the body with a rudimentary aura that doesn't involve a specific meaning is something that every competent adventurer does.

''Great........! Dariel-san, being able to pour a characteristic aura into your own body...!
Even so, though, it's much more effective and efficient to have it reside in a weapon.

 If it was a warfare technique that the human race adventurers had spent a long history building, there were not many more effective techniques than that.

 However, by letting his own body also have a characteristic aura, the range of tactics would expand.

''Excellent....................!

 The board members were excited to watch from the side.

''This is Arantzill-sama's bloodline......., the power of a brave man who can completely defeat the demon race! Yes, yes, yes!
"Hold on, Master Rosselwy.

 One of the next to move forward.
 It was one of the three adventurers I was entrusted with introducing earlier.

''Sister........?
LeeLina's sister...?

 The other two have been blown up by me and have been discouraged from fighting, so it's safe to say that she's practically the last one.

 The way she was treated by the people around her and the signs that she was releasing, I could tell that she was a leader.

'B-Grade Adventurer Leelina.'
You mean you're gonna get an A in the next exam?

 Then we must assume that you are as strong as an A-class fighter.

It's true that you have the least amount of ability to deceive Master Arantzill's son. But I won't recognize you until I see it with my own eyes.
I don't think you need to give me any credit for that.

 But the other side, perhaps because of their passion, didn't listen to me at all.

 I'm just going to be ready for battle as my passion takes over.

"Oh, he's brought out some kind of bombastic weapon?

 It was large.
 At the end of its long handle, it had a spear-like spike and an axe blade.

"Halberd...?

 Radie, who was standing by me, said, "You use a very unusual weapon, don't you?

"You use an unusual weapon, nowadays, a halberd...?
"What's so rare about them?
'The axe is originally a weapon suitable for combining slash and hit. In addition to that, the halberd, which also has the form of a spear, becomes a weapon with the three characteristics of slash and strike in one.

 It's that kind of thing again.

''But as we've always been told, in order to cover all characteristics, the owner must also have maximum aptitude for everything. Not only are such transcendents unlikely, but halberds are large and difficult to handle, and I've heard that their users have become obsolete.
But he's using that girl, right?

 Did you say something like Leelina?
 The large halberd looks even more alien since his spirit is professional but his body shape is the average female size.

'My target, Master Aranziel, is the one who has the aptitude for all aura traits, and therefore I am trying to get closer to Master Aranziel and all the aptitudes. Therefore, I'm trying to get closer to Master Aranziel and become a person with all aptitudes! That's what Halberd is for!
...that aura aptitude is an acquired trait?
'I don't think so...?'

 Radey's answer makes me think, 'That's right.

 I'm not sure what to do, but I'd be happy to show you the Hermes sword and show you what a true competitor you are, but that's becoming a pattern.
 Do you want to try a different approach from time to time?

''Eat the blow dedicated to Arantzill-sama!
Hey.

 She easily avoids large, large swinging attacks with only large weapons.
 She may indeed be able to be called an A-class fighter, but her choice of weapons was still the worst.
 Nearly half of her abilities are killed by a weight volume that is not appropriate for her size.

"I don't need to put all my strength into you.

 With that, I held my palm out in front of her.
 The palm of my hand didn't touch her in time, but just by not touching her, the other party was blown away as if crushing her.

''Ghaaaaah!''

 Leelina flew in an arc in the sky with the momentum of being blown away.
 Well, if you're good enough to pass the A grade, you'll be fine even if you crash into the ground like that.

''Dariel-san! What was that! I didn't even touch you at all and your opponent was blown away!

 It's no wonder Radie is confused.
 The current method of attack was something that didn't exist in the technology of previous adventurers.

''I poured an aura into the air.
Air?

 The air that is spread throughout the space.
 Aura was poured into that specific area, allowing it to be manipulated.

 It didn't have any characteristics, but there was no way I could manipulate the pressure in the air to make a person jump off by himself.

 This is another use I discovered after researching various things that can be done with aura, but I don't think adventurers will be able to create this.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to use it by applying the magic management methods of the demon race.

 When I was living as a demon race, I studied various practices to use magic as a demon race.
 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 However, when I met the aura that I really needed to handle, the sense to handle the magic that I had cultivated as a child was very effective.

 Perhaps the roots of magic and aura are the same.
 That's why I blossomed into the power of my aura and immediately became able to handle it perfectly.

 The fighting method of manipulating aura by permeating the air was an application of the senses I gained in my wind magic control training.

 Even so, it wouldn't be usable in actual combat. In terms of power and precision in manipulating the air, the original wind magic is overwhelmingly superior.

'Aura in the air...? I've never thought of that...?
''It's probably because it's not effective. It's not a good idea to have a good idea of what it means to be a good friend. At best, it's probably just a matter of manipulating pressure with the characteristic aura.

 So it can't be the main force, but well, it can be used in tactical combinations for surprise and restraint.
 It's a daily study.

Brilliant!

 And Board member Roselwy ran up to him excitedly.

'I didn't know you could so easily spurn those talented men! What competence, what virtuosity! You are the very one who was born to be a hero!

 He hustled around.

''You have been successfully recognized by the director of this center guild, Roselwy! I nominate you for heroism. Now, we will join forces in the great quest to defeat the Witch King! Together! Let's keep it up!
Yes, sir.

 I said no as fast as I could.
