Chapter 53 — Aura Manifestation [7]
For the first time since coming to this world, I felt the fear of death.
But even in that moment, I held onto Lucas's words—to draw out my Aura no matter what.
And just as our swords were about to collide—
I felt something inside me shatter.
Boom—!
I blocked Lucas's sword with the Mistcatcher, but I was sent flying a great distance.
Normally, that kind of strike should've killed me outright.
But even after tumbling across the gym floor several times…
"Ugh… that hurts like hell."
—for some reason, I wasn't dead.
My body was covered in dust, with a few small wounds here and there, but nothing serious.
Even though that strike should've been more than enough to kill me.
Wondering what had happened, I looked down to check my body…
"Huh? What's this?"
A white aura was surrounding me.
And instinctively, I knew what it was.
"This… this is Aura?"
"That's right. That's Aura."
Lucas smiled as he slowly approached me.
