#4 Different Auras

Came to the past.

That too, back to the Magic Age 10,000 years ago.

Who knew the Book of Destiny had this feature!

It was too absurd to just admire it and move on…

I guess it’s okay.

‘If I really had traveled back 10,000 years in time… … .’

If that’s really the case,

Because there was only one thing to think about now.

Beyond the hallway where torches flicker… … there… … .

‘There really is an elixir?’

A miraculous drug that can restore not only severed limbs but also damaged aura cores.

All questions melt away at the name Elixir.

What is the Book of Destiny, and how do we return to our original era… … things like that.

That’s a problem for later.

The elixir is over there… …!

They say I can get back what I lost… …!

Heart pounding.

For the first time in a long time, my heart started beating.

* * *

“Fortunately, the elixir is safe. The offering is also fine.”

The hooded man lifted a glass vial the size of a finger from one side of the altar.

I was worried at that time.

‘Should I paint?’

Should I kill them all right now and steal the elixir?

There are a total of 12 people around.

Six hoodies came with me.

And six warriors guarding the altar.

still……

‘Isn’t it worth a try…?’

My heart is growling.

Take action immediately.

but,

I glanced at the man who appeared to be the leader.

He was concerned.

Others pose no threat at all… … .

My intuition kept telling me not to like him.

‘… … This is 10,000 years ago. I don’t know this era.’

I tried hard to calm my seething heart.

This era was called the Age of Magic.

An era in which the creation of supreme magical artifacts that we could only dream of in modern times.

‘You never know. He might use magic. You have to be careful.’

Fighting wizards was always tricky and dangerous.

It was like that even in modern times, so how much worse must it be in this place called the Age of Magic?

‘First, gather information and look for an opportunity.’

I mingled with the crowd and watched the situation unfold.

The leader gave the order.

“Part two, search for the intruders. Kaltik, Krum. Through the eastern passage. Seirung, Totun, through the western passage. Seruas, Lansen. Through the northern passage. I will guard the altar here.”

Here I was surprised once again.

‘Do you know my name…?’

Obviously,

It was called Lansen.

I checked my senses again just in case.

There was nothing wrong.

Arms, legs, toes, shoulders, fingers.

It’s all mine.

I was definitely Lansen, living in the year 1351 of the continental calendar.

His right prosthetic arm and left leg were still intact, and the wounds he had inflicted on Nagi were still stinging.

I have the Book of Destiny in my arms, and the longsword at my waist is also the one I used to use.

All my belongings were there, just a black hooded robe added to the outside.

then,

‘Is it a kind of suggestive state…?

Even though you don’t know me, you know me.

They also mistakenly believe that they are their colleagues.

Only powerful magic that interferes with the mind could produce such results.

‘The Book of Destiny… … What on earth is it?’

In time travel,

It helps you learn ancient languages ​​that you have never heard before.

And change your clothes too,

It even interferes with the minds of people around you.

No matter how ancient the relic is… … does this make sense?

My head is in disarray.

But I pushed aside every question that came to mind.

The task at hand was more important now.

“What are you standing there for? Let’s hurry.”

A man wearing a hood.

The shortest of them all came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder.

‘This is Seruas.’

A companion to search the northern passage with me.

I followed him for a moment and rolled my head.

‘What should we do now?’

The hordes are scattered to the east, west, and north, so should we defeat them individually?

No. Should we look for the intruder first?

I’m curious about how people fight in this era.

As I was walking along the northern passage, I heard a sound.

An unnatural, thin, and shallow breath that is exhaled with great restraint.

‘You’re lucky.’

It was an intruder.

If it weren’t for the intruder, there would be no need to hold your breath like that.

Judging by the momentum, it seemed like he was at the expert lower level.

‘But why are you doing that? If you just turn the aura a little, you can erase the sound… … .’

I looked at Seruas. Of course he felt it too, right?

but,

‘… … Didn’t you notice?’

……what?

The intruder who is trying to hide himself by becoming an expert, or Seruas who doesn’t notice it.

In modern times, even if you’re not an expert, you’ll probably be able to tell just by being an Aura user…

‘Is the development of swordsmanship lagging behind?’

A civilization that is rich in magic and poor in swordsmanship?

It was a very possible theory.

Well, you’ll know when you check.

Corner in front.

An intruder is hiding right behind it.

Seruas is running towards you without hesitation.

There’s going to be a collision soon.

I felt aroused.

How do people fight in this era?

Squeak!

A cold metallic sound rang out.

To my eyes, which were fully focused, every scene passed by as if in slow motion.

A blonde woman suddenly jumps out from around the corner.

Her sword, clad in silver armor, was imbued with a magical aura.

Seruas, startled, tried to block the attack by tilting his sword at an angle.

His sword also had an aura like a mist.

The woman’s sword is Seruas,

Split it in two.

First of all,

As gently as cutting tofu.

Goosebumps run down my spine.

‘… … What? You cut through a sword and a person at the same time… …? How?’

If you just look at the results, it wasn’t anything special.

Because I was able to cut through both the lump of iron and the person.

but,

It was impossible to do it that way.

‘No… … The sword was quite slow? And why is the cut surface so clean? It barely made a sound.’

If I did… …

He must have swung his sword twice as fast as that.

I don’t think I could have cut it that cleanly.

The sword aura with such powerful destructive power would shatter the blade into pieces and tear the flesh into tatters.

On the other hand, her slow blackness gently divided Seruas as if they had been two pieces from the beginning.

Even blood gushed out from the cut section belatedly.

There was something else strange, too.

‘Is that really Sword Aura…?’

Sword Aura refers to a state where the blade is dyed with the color of an aura.

But that woman’s sword had no color.

Just a transparent mist rippling over the blade.

‘It’s different… completely different. Is it a swordsmanship that developed completely differently from our era?’

Curiosity and tension about the unknown power arise simultaneously.

I opened my eyes wide and observed the woman.

dump.

The crumbling corpse of Seruas. Between them, the woman’s blue eyes seemed to burn.

Sreung!

The moment the woman’s feet hit the ground, I lowered my head.

A woman’s silver blade passes over her hair.

I got goosebumps at the dizzying anticipation I had never felt before.

Even though the woman’s blade did not touch her, her hair was cut and fluttered by the aura flowing down the sword.

Is it something like an auror thread?

How can you get cut without even touching the blade?

The more I looked, the more I couldn’t understand.

‘… … Let’s just give it a try.’

Observation alone had its limitations.

I pulled up my sword aura with all my might and clashed our swords with hers.

Oh my!

The repulsive force that bursts from the tip of the sword.

“Whoa!”

The azalea attached to the woman’s sword was shattered into pieces.

The woman staggered backwards in shock.

I was a little confused.

‘What? The durability is terrible?’

I never thought it would break right away.

‘however…….’

This was another strange thing.

‘The blade is damaged?’

That weak energy cut through my aura and broke the blade?

‘It’s a really strange power… … .’

I stared at the chipped sword for a moment.

The woman who had staggered back muttered with a pale, exhausted face.

“Sword and steel? Oh, no… … . It’s a bit strange.”

The woman also seemed embarrassed.

I’m not the only one who finds this weird?

When you look at my sword, does it look strange?

‘Check first.’

Sword Aura is ultimately about processing mana into Aura and putting it into a sword.

In our time, that was common sense… … but it doesn’t seem to be the case in this day and age.

He creates a strange aura in a way that I can’t even guess what it is.

‘It’s worth a try.’

I admit it’s surprisingly sharp.

But that was all.

Its durability is much lower, and its technology to strengthen its body with aura seems quite primitive.

It’s not like I know how to use magic, though…

If this is really all,

He is not my opponent.

Woohoo-!

The dark blue sword aura deeply dyed my sword.

‘Should we just catch them? If we catch the intruder… … we might be able to create an opening.’

If you let your guard down and surprise attack, you might easily defeat that ominous leader.

Then how should we catch it? Should we cut off its legs?

At that time, when I was having such worries,

The woman who had been hesitating to step back as if feeling threatened by the Sword Auror shouted as if possessed by evil.

“Aren’t you ashamed? A prosecutor like you is on the side of a cult that kidnaps children… …!”

Those words hit me in the head.

“……children?”

We instinctively react to familiar words.

The woman gritted her teeth and growled.

“Are you trying to ignore me? I’ve already confirmed all the traces. Where are the children? Could it be that they’ve already… …! Be sacrificed?”

Her anger burning brightly.

children?

hijacking?

Mountain sacrifice?

I took a step back for a moment.

He stared blankly at the woman and then suddenly asked.

“How old are you?”

“What?”

“How old are the kidnapped children?”

“Huh? You’re going to pretend not to know until the end… … .”

“How old are you?”

The woman flinched as if she sensed my presence, then answered with a suspicious look in her eyes.

“Ages seven to fifteen. A total of thirteen.”

The moment I heard that answer, I made up my mind.

“What on earth are you planning…?”

I calmly suppressed my momentum in front of the flustered woman.

Open your ears wide and feel every minute vibration transmitted to your feet.

After a while, the woman’s eyes became sharp again.

“You… … were waiting for support? You coward!”

From the tip of the sword that was being fixed, a ray of energy like a mist rose again.

At the same time, I heard the voice I had been waiting for behind me.

“Did Seruas get hurt?”

“Join us.”

They were hoods who had set out on a search in the east.

There must have been some kind of device in the body of the dead Seruas, because shortly after his death, I felt someone approaching me.

That’s good. It saves you the trouble of going there.

Phew-

I waited until they passed right next to me.

I relaxed my shoulders.

and,

now!

At the perfect moment, he let out a puff of air and spun his sword around in a large circle.

Sigh!

Crunch!

Two people’s necks were caught in the circular trajectory made by the sword.

“Crunch!”

“Huh!”

The bodies of two men slide across the floor with a slap, accompanied by the sound of bubbling blood.

Blood pools excitedly beneath the flailing body.

Okay. Are we left with three?

“What… What is it?!”

The woman opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth wide.

I guess he was surprised by my sudden appearance of cutting down the same side.

I answered simply.

“Because I changed my mind.”

If you think about it, there’s no need to fight this woman, right?

Anyway, I have to get rid of all those suspicious hoods called cultists… … It would be better to side with this woman.

And that woman… she said she came here to save the children.

‘I know how you feel.’

I sheathed the sword once and put it back in its scabbard.

He nodded at the woman.

“Let’s be on the same side. Am I originally a social person? I wasn’t like that either.”

“yes?”

The kid is a bit dull.

Is this the first time you’ve seen betrayal?

“Okay. Turn on that damn thing and pretend to fight me. Quickly.”

That way, it’s easier to kill them as they come.
