Chapter 419: An Awakening! Uehara VS Matsuo 2
—–
Matsuo gritted his teeth in anger as he saw the monstrous Oni, Uehara, easily take out the holy light spear from his body. There was a big wound on him, but he was still somehow alive.
He remembered how he was able to easily burn him to almost a crisp with his magic before, it seems that not only Matsuo, but this Oni had grown stronger.
Matsuo noticed that the big hole on his chest slowly began to pulsate with flesh, growing back and slowly filling the wound!
Matsuo couldn’t let it easily regenerate, or he would lose the advantage he had over the Oni!
“Ninth Circle Magic: Consecutive Holy Spheres Cannon!”
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, several magic circles emerged around Matsuo, as large holy spears began to continuously fire over Uehara!
“Gehh…!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The powerful spears of holy light began to fall over Uehara was he barely evaded each one, however, several of them reached him, nonetheless, piercing and blasting his right leg, and then another piercing his shoulder and destroying it, and the last one reaching his back and rosing it, although a large wound was left too.
“Unngghhh…! You bastard, you’re a human, where are you getting so much Mana?! (He’s not with that other kid that had so much Mana! So how does he have so much now?!)” wondered Uehara, as he realized that Matsuo’s Mana was incredibly high compared to before! This was a combination of both leveling up and increasing his max MP and also thanks to the power of his Mana Core, which had been raised and cultivated, enlarging Matsuo’s Mana Pool to even larger quantities!
Not only he had a large Mana Pool now, however, as the Mana Cores had the amazing effect of enhancing mana regeneration a lot, especially in earth’s humans whose mana was already cultivated beforehand.
This, coupled with the high-quality equipment he was wearing which dropped from the Dungeon, which enhanced his magic power, mana, and mana regeneration made Matsuo a living endless shotgun of holy light magic!
Uehara was overwhelmed by the rain of projectiles, as he evaded however he could and projected his anger into his body, activating his magic and the several runes he had across his body!
FLASH!
Several runic symbols of black colors emerged across his pale-white body, which continuously kept regenerating from Matsuo’s attacks.
Matsuo was still aiming at him, if he could aim at the head, he was sure that Uehara would die! However, Uehara’s agility was superior to his, and this was still true even after all the time that has happened since their first meeting.
“Haha… Abyssal… Form!”
FLAAAAAASH!
A flame of abyssal dark flames emerged over Uehara, like an aura of pure abyssal darkness that began to encompass his entire body, the holy light of Matsuo had no effect on it as it simply turned into mana the moment it touched it! This darkness… It was deep, deep enough to overwhelm the power of holy light!
“HAAAAA!”
Uehara jumped over Matsuo as his fist reached Matsuo’s face, the barrier he had created were all destroyed in an instant by Uehara’s aura, as if it were something that couldn’t be fought back against!
“Unnggh…!
CLAAASH!
Matsuo was sent through the airs as he vomited a mouthful of blood, Uehara reached him in midair in an instant, raising his legs and enhancing them with even more Abyssal Aura!
“DIE!”
CLAAAAAASH!
A powerful kick hit Matsuo’s stomach, which was being protected by his armor. The armor easily bended to the power of Uehara’s kick, tightening itself over Matsuo’s stomach and making the hit more painful than it already was.
“GAAKKHHH…!”
Matsuo vomited a mouthful of blood, as his eyes felt dizzy, he was thrown into the ground, his back hit it with immense force, he felt like several of his ribs broke and that the ribs penetrated his internal organs.
Uehara glanced at the one that had brought him defeat before, now, pathetically resting over the ground, in the border of death.
“Hahh… Shit… I shouldn’t have come… I shouldn’t have… gotten cocky…” sighed Matsuo.
His hands began to tremble as he tried to stand up, but the pain was severe.
“I just wanted to… Be a bit like Frank…”
His breath began to get difficult, as his eyes started to see everything fuzzy.
“Hahh… I am going to die…”
Uehara slowly moved down, his abyssal aura was as strong as ever, and the abyssal darkness within such flames were slowly approaching him.
“Move…”
Matsuo began to see the images of his own family, his mother, his father, his sisters.
“Move…”
He muttered to himself to move once more, his eyes suddenly regained some sight as the mana that he still had plenty of began to coat his body.
“Move…!”
Uehara noticed that Matsuo was slowly coating his own body with his mana and holy light, his wounds slowly began to regenerate!
“What? He learned Aura?!”
Aura, the power of the soul. Very few people, even in the underground, can awaken such power. But beings of supernatural power such as the Oni are able to do so as long as they put effort and time into it. Uehara awakened his Abyssal Aura after training relentlessly for months.
By expressing your souls’ power and using it with your magical element and your mana, Aura is born. It is said that is a power that can let measly humans surpass superhuman levels of power and reach higher, breaking their limiter.
A power such as this… Matsuo, who has trained his entire life… was bound to awaken within him.
After all, he was the genius of this generation.
“MOVE!”
Matsuo roared wildly as his entire body was coated on his own Aura, an aura of brilliant Holy Light, so brilliant and majestic that everyone around the battlefield couldn’t help but admire it!
Frank who was about to send someone to aid Matsuo smiled, stopping them.
“Heh, I guess there wasn’t any need for my aid,” he thought, smiling confidently.
Matsuo stood up as his wounds were slowly healing, the internal bleeding had stopped, and his eyes had turned yellow gold.
“Impossible…! You awakened Aura?!” cried Uehara.
