Rise Online: Return of the Legendary Player

Chapter 138 Aura



"You\'re scary, man." She said and held out her right hand to accept his help.

"I struggle with it." admitted Kaizen and handed her a green crystal, which was similar to a teleportation crystal, with iron edges and a parallelepiped shape.

This was one of the healing crystals that he had bought during his shopping trips around the Royal City mall. When Araxie used her limited strength to break it, the crystal exuded a green glow that enveloped her and restored her HP, automatically healing her wounds.

Next, Kaizen asked:

"Are you okay, can you help the rest of the staff? We only have seven more minutes until the invocation is complete."

"What about you?" Araxie inquired.

"I have business to attend to." He turned his neck in the direction of where the yellow-eyed man was, who was being helped by some of the servants who didn\'t run away.

The blond woman understood the situation and nodded in agreement to his request. Then she ran to deliver healing crystals to Dathan and the others who were injured.

The yellow-eyed man looked at Kaizen with immense anger as he was getting up with the help of his acolytes. He was proud that he had never failed in a mission given by his master and he was not happy that he had failed now that their great goal was so close.

Some of the minions who helped this man, were enraged when they saw that Kaizen was coming towards them again and set off on the Psyker, but none of them even had a chance to scratch him. Since <Sword Art> and <Deep Cut> consumed very little mana because they were essentially physical skills, he abused these skills to finish off these weaker enemies.

As he watched his colleagues lower in the cult hierarchy fall rapidly, the thin-bearded man didn\'t care one bit. In fact, he used this time to heal the wound that was killing him in his abdomen. He put his right hand over it and his hand was enveloped by a red aura. Seconds later, he stopped touching the spot and the hole created by Kaizen was superficially healed. If he used more time, he could heal his life completely, however, the time he used was just enough to not have his head torn off by Kaizen.

After defeating the acolytes with such ease, Kaizen propelled himself toward the black-eyed man with his sword turned horizontally. At the same time, he used the <Analyzing Eye>.

\'I knew it, he\'s pretty strong physically too... And now I can see his abilities. That\'s good.\' Kaizen thought.

The Psyker wasn\'t even surprised when Lysam defended himself from his attack with a semi-translucent red sword that came out of nowhere.

\'That must be a combo of <Aura Constructs> and <Aura Consolidation>.\' admired Kaizen as he exchanged blows with the big, strong man. \'Knowing that he manipulates aura makes me a little relieved. When he threw Dathan aside, I thought for a second that he used <Telekinesis> too.\'

Kaizen thought and then he landed a blow with his sword towards the man\'s belly, but Lysam blocked the blow with his aura sword.

The swords clashed with such force that both men were thrown backwards.

Kaizen was not hurt, as he was able to use <Telekinesis> to hold himself in the air and cushion the impact, but Lysam was not as lucky. Because of the force of the blow, the aura sword he was using dissipated and he was thrown backwards, hitting the ground hard.

As Lysam slowly stood up, Kaizen thought:

\'He can\'t use the aura sword again so soon, so I guess I can risk a stronger attack.\'

Wasting no time, Kaizen ran towards Lysam and jumped into the air, preparing to strike a blow with his sword. The yellow-eyed man, however, did not stand still waiting for the blow and jumped to the side, so that Kaizen could pass him.

As expected, when he fell to the ground, Kaizen\'s sword struck the ground with such force that it created a crater almost a meter wide.

\'That was pretty close.\' Lysam thought, startled.

Kaizen was scared too, because it was the first time he had seen the damage that <Deep Cut> could really do if he used all his strength.

Kaizen was not too bothered, because he expected Lysam to move. Using <Telekinesis>, he spun the sword in the air and hurled it toward the man, like some sort of flying saucer.

Lysam had no time to dodge and was hit in the chest by the sword. He was thrown backwards and hit the wall hard.

​ "That power...it is so overwhelming...almost as strong as my master\'s." Lysam admitted with blood dripping down the sides of his mouth. "Still, you won\'t be... able to stop him."

"Um." Kaizen exasperated and extended his right hand forward. The Butterfly Bear Sword, which was wedged into Lysam\'s chest, was drawn into this hand of his, and he rested it on his right shoulder barehandedly. "As I said before, I intend to use the Lord to finish off the third horde. The rest is of no interest to me." He stated with a smile.

"You are a fool..." Lysam muttered and slid down the wall, finally dying.

[You have killed Lysam Smedley, The Aura Manipulator. You gained +10,000 XP].

[You gained \'Eye of the Aura Manipulator\'].

\'An eye? Ah, what a crappy drop! At least if he had stayed alive for a few more minutes and waited for the fifteen-minute cooldown of the <Abilities Apograph>, I would have gotten some of his abilities...\' Kaizen wailed.
