The shadows of the three people overlapped and stood still.
Russ extended his sword from the left and pierced the solar plexus, and Tashid swung his sword from the right and aimed for the shoulder.
The two men’s attacks clearly hit the mark. Because he was aiming for the perfect moment to swing his sword for defense, Vanatel was unable to make any counterattack at that moment. Without any countermeasures, he allowed the two men to be slashed.
But now, Russ and Tashid looked puzzled.
“This, this… … .”
“uh… … .”
The two were still extending their swords and swords.
The two’s swords and swords were also aimed precisely at Vanatel’s solar plexus and shoulders.
But I never could reach it.
An invisible force was standing between Vanatel and the two Blade Aurors.
It wasn’t an Auror Guard. Because it was an attack that left no time for that. And if he had raised the Auror to defend himself, Vanatel’s whole body would have been glowing bright red, albeit faintly.
A strange sensation passes through the blade to the fingertips. It doesn’t feel like hitting rock or steel like when sparring with Reppenhardt. There is no strong repulsion like Kalken or Iniya’s Auror defense. Rather, it is closer to the feeling of being lost in a shapeless mud or swamp. It feels as if the blow I swung with all my might is disappearing in vain.
The two of them knew well when they felt this way.
Russ muttered in shock.
“… … “Is this just a passive aura?”
If you are an auror user, you can consciously activate your aura to forge a powerful sword of light or form an indomitable armor or shield. That is the Blade Auror and the Auror Guard.
However, even if you are not conscious of it, a faint residual aura remains on your entire body while you are raising the blade aura. The human body is connected to the entire body, so even if you focus the aura on the sword, it will have an effect on other body parts. The aura reaction that occurred unconsciously under the influence of the blade aura was a passive aura.
Normally, it is a weak force that can only prevent minor scratches or poisonous stings… … .
‘You blocked the Blade Aura with that passive aura that only had mana?’
I couldn’t understand it at all. How can you show that kind of power with just a passive Aura, not even a properly deployed Aura Guard?
Vanatel suddenly complimented Russ and Tashid, who were embarrassed.
“That’s amazing, you’re so good at making those moves.”
He grinned as he looked at the two blades aimed at his body.
“As expected, you two are geniuses. but… … “Most Auror users are geniuses.”
Suddenly, Vanatel’s eyes became cold. An eerie voice came out from between his pure white beard.
“But it will be of no use. “Because I’m not a genius.”
Vanatel raised his foot and struck the ground hard.
Coo!
A loud noise rang out, and bright red aura rose like a storm. The formidable whirlpool of aura became a huge wave and began to spread around Vanatel. Russ and Tashid were horrified, put away their weapons and ran back.
But it was no use. The auror wave that arose became a huge tsunami over 10 meters long and covered the heads of the two people.
Tashid opened his eyes.
“Oops! “What is that?”
“does not make sense!”
Russ was astonished as he looked at the bright red wall of aura that filled his eyes. Literally, the entire field of vision was glowing red. What is this huge aura?
Besides, he knew very well what that technology was. Russ can learn quite a few skills just by looking at them. As soon as I saw it, I knew it right away.
‘That’s just an Auror wave!’
The most basic skills that every Auror user uses are Blade Aura and Aura Guard. Here, each person learns and refines his/her skills and creates various applications. Like Blood Rain, Gigantic Blade, or Spiral Guard.
Auror Wave was one of those basic skills. The usage was also very simple. All you have to do is load the auror and hit it on the ground. Normally, it is nothing more than a low-level technique used by auror users who cannot fire auras into the air, trying to achieve similar power using the medium of the ground.
However, the Auror wave is coming in on an enormous scale, as if it were some kind of tsunami! Its power is truly terrifying! It’s an incredible force that can destroy everything with just a touch!
‘Nonsense! There’s no way an Auror Wave could produce that kind of power!’
In shock, Russ and Tashid each raised their Auror guards. That tsunami of Aurors is rolling in, covering dozens of meters in all directions. There is absolutely no place to escape. With all their might, the two concentrated all of their aurors on the front.
A tidal wave of overwhelming destructive power hit the two people. Russ and Tashid screamed as they were enveloped in a swarm of bright red light.
“Keuuk!”
“Aaaah!”
A huge tsunami of bright red aura covered all directions, the aftermath of which was centered on Vanatel and extended to a radius of approximately 100 meters. The walls of Baekwangseong shook greatly and dust rose like fog.
The destructive power even extended to other Auror users who were watching the duel from afar. Each Auror user activated their Auror Guard and jumped backwards to escape the attack.
Halein’s Auror user, Lord Cameroon, let out a laugh as he landed far away to avoid the attack.
“Huh, that guy is still a monster.”
The free knight, Marad, had an uneasy expression on his face.
“No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look familiar… … .”
From the dissipating dust haze, Russ and Tashid emerged, covered in dirt. Both were out of breath, but unscathed.
Vanatel grinned.
“Both of them are pretty good. “Did you survive this?”
Russ gritted his teeth.
“joy! No matter how powerful it is… … .”
Tashid received the message.
“I won’t fall for such a simple trick!”
Reppenhardt’s Avalanche Kick is a clear ‘technique’ that uses the entire body’s aura to cut through gaps in the ground, aiming for the most efficient wide-area destruction. But that’s not ‘technology’. Without any usage or operation, all I did was just take a picture of the ground with the aura.
As it was a simple attack, it was easy to destroy. In response to Vanatel’s aura wave, the aura was rotated and raised, splitting the destructive power to the left and right. The problem is that the destructive power contained in the Aura Wave is so enormous that Russ and Tashid consume a significant amount of Aura.
“Gasp… … .”
“Whoa… … .”
Vanatel waved his hand again at the two people who were struggling to catch their breath.
“Then how about this?”
As I swung my sword in the air like a joke, a curtain of bright red light filled the sky. Russ and Tashid opened their eyes wide in shock. How can you show such a huge aura wave and then use this kind of power again?
“Ugh!”
Frightened, Tashid swung his sword and slashed in all directions in succession. Focuses the aura on one point and rotates it like a saw to increase cutting power. The concentrated turquoise blade auror began tearing the curtain of light apart.
“Whoa… … .”
Taking a breath, Russ raised his long sword vertically. A flow of blue aura surrounds the entire body.

A huge tree may break in the wind, but a reed only shakes and does not fall. Rather than reacting directly to the opponent’s attack, he changes his Aura’s properties as flexibly as rubber and lets himself go with the flow. The curtain of light split and flowed like waves to the left and right of Russ.
Vanatel exclaimed in admiration.
“Hehe, the talents are really good. “You’re kneading the Aurors like a cake.”
With a hearty laugh, Vanatel swung his sword once more. Earlier it was a horizontal cut, this time it was a vertical cut.
“Even so, it is useless in the face of overwhelming power!”
A curtain of bright red light folded once in the air and fell down like a waterfall. Tashid freaked out and bit his tongue.
“Kek? “Again?”
It was still an incredibly simple Auror operation. It is simply a widening of the blade aura and swinging it. But the power in that light was so strong. That simple strike is actually stronger than the two people who concentrated and converted their auras to the greatest efficiency!
Russ let out a scream.
“No, what kind of auror is pouring out without end?”
I’m so out of breath that I can’t fight back. The two people jumped backwards. The intention was to unleash as much destructive power as possible. However, the mighty power of that curtain of light could not be alleviated by throwing one’s body around.
The entire body’s Auror defense was broken and the two people screamed again.
“Ugh!”
“Wow!”
The waterfall of light pounded the ground and roared endlessly. Like fallen leaves caught in a storm, Russ and Tashid flew into the air, spraying blood.
Russ fell to the floor and rolled around helplessly, lifting his head up. Fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“Uh, that… … .”
Tashid, covered in blood, struggled to get up. Tashid growled as he struggled to steady himself by leaning on the sword.
“How could he do something like this… … .”
Sword Saint Vanatel, the identity of all this power he showed was simple. It was impossible for any Auror user to know this. There was no mysterious operation method or technology.
It’s just that the two Aurors are so enormous that they can’t even be compared!
☆ ☆ ☆
Sir Walgran, Vasily’s Auror user, who was watching all this from afar, muttered absentmindedly.
“You’re still only able to use simple techniques. I’m definitely not a genius… … .”
Decril from Chatan received the message.
“But it’s definitely a monster… … .”
Free Knight, Marad shook his head.
“anyway… … How can someone who is only at the basics of using Aurors be so ignorant… … .”
Russ, who had just become an Auror user, and Tarsid, an Orc, didn’t know about it, but most Auror users were familiar with the sword saint, Vanatel.
The greatest swordsman on the continent, Vanatel, a swordsman recognized by everyone as the strongest.
He was never a genius.
In his youth, Vanatel did not stand out as a prosecutor. Like the famous dancers, he did not show any genius, such as knowing ten things by teaching them one thing, or learning something in an instant that would take others ten days.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have talent. He had the stamina, reflexes, and agility of a first-class swordsman.
The problem was that Vanatel’s combat sense was seriously lacking.
Battles always have variables. The opponent is not a puppet that only repeats certain movements, so you must apply and use techniques according to the situation. Banatel seriously lacked such application power. Although he was able to use what he had learned honestly, he was prone to cutting in the air as soon as his opponent made even the slightest irregular movement. In his youth, he was just a somewhat useful swordsman, nothing more or less.
However, even Banatel had one outstanding feature.
He was honest.
If you teach them one thing, they will only be able to do one thing. There is no application power whatsoever. Just practice and practice what you have honestly learned and make it your own. And he speaks that one thing more clearly and perfectly than anyone else.
This wasn’t to say that other Auror users couldn’t use perfect skills.
It is said that all martial arts in the world value the basics, and that only when the basics are supported can one reach the level. And in reality, there is no one who does not have solid basic skills if he is a warrior at a level that is capable of awakening to Aura. Auror users not only have natural talent, but they also have solid basic skills through simple stabbing and cutting thousands of times a day. Even Russ, a genius among geniuses, would do just one slam for years.
But Banatel’s case was a bit different.
If you perform a simple slam a thousand times, there will be times when everyone gets tired and loses focus. And here, the mindset of not giving up, gathering strength again, and swinging the sword until the end is what separates the experts from the underdogs. No matter how much an Auror user is a human, the first blow he swings and the thousandth blow cannot be the same.
However, Banatel did not have that ‘wavering concentration’ from the beginning. He was able to swing a thousand times, whether it was the first or the last time, he swung with all his might and with the same intention. He is truly the embodiment of honesty, and in a way, he can be said to be a genius in training.
Based on that honesty, Vanatel was eventually able to awaken to Auror and join the ranks of superhumans.
However, awakening the Auror did not mean that senses that were missing were created.
By surpassing human limits with the power of Aurors, he could easily deal with ordinary swordsmen. However, when comparing the same Auror users, the story was different.
At best, he awakened his Auror, but that was Banatel’s limit. I learned the most basic Blade Aura, Aura Wave, and Aura Guard with my unique honesty, but that was all.
Other Auror users use their Auras to show off all kinds of different techniques. Experienced Aura users can use Auras to launch powerful attacks and spectacular attacks by throwing them over long distances or by concentrating and changing the flow. Among them, there are true geniuses who change the attributes of Aurors or harden their forms and perform acrobatics that seem no different from magic.
But no matter how hard Banatel tried, such a thing was impossible. In his natural senses he was too dull. Once he knew how, he would try and do something, but since he had no idea, he couldn’t even try.
Nonetheless, Banatel never gave up.
Even after becoming an Auror user, he followed only one path.
He honestly repeated and repeated only what he could do, the most basic Auror skills he could do, and endlessly raised and raised only his basic skills.
It’s been 30 years… … .
In the end, Vanatel gained an enormous amount of Auror that could not be compared to any other Auror user on the continent. With the title of Sword Saint, the strongest swordsman on the continent.
