Chapter 564: Requesting Ancient Aura Users to Make Us Stronger
“You brought a lot of people here. Some of them are even monsters. Are you not just a summoner but also a tamer?” Mona asked.
“I only have two elements. One is summoning element which I also had in my first life, and the other is air element which I only had after I regressed into the past. Just those two. As for why monsters follow me, they have different reason. But they can be trusted,” I said.
Then, I explained to the ancient Aura users about the monsters.
The werewolves, I received their loyalties because I’m the strongest. I defeated the Werewolf King and I became the next king. And then, the werewolves promised to never challenge me for the title until we destroyed the cult. After all, it’s a fight that they love the most. And they can only get it if they follow my lead.
The angels, I forced them to follow me. Well, that was what originally happened. But after Graham witnessed what happened to his sister because of the cult, I no longer need to force them to obey me. They want to destroy the cult who dares to perform experiment on their leader’s sister.
The vampires are quite weird. At first, they just love human cultures so much. And now, they got addicted to my blood. Not as much as drug addiction since they can still hold themselves back. But they want to do anything for the chance of drinking my blood. I hope they won’t raid the hospital for the blood bags.
The elves didn’t follow me. They follow their leader who is the familiar of my maid. Though they aren’t here now, they can be trusted.

Other than those four races, there are individual monsters who joined our cause.
Victoria and Sonia were humans who died because of the Evil God. Spot used to be a familiar of an Aura user. And then there’s Sunny and Elsie who were Lina’s familiars.
I guess that’s all the monsters I can introduce to these ancient Aura users. Though we also have some other monsters like the experimented monsters we saved before. But I don’t know if they are loyal or not so I didn’t bring them here.
“I don’t think even with the size of this place, we can all fight here. But at least I want to introduce everyone to you first. I want to ask for your help to train us. Even if the enemies are mages and not Aura users, we can still get stronger from your guidance. Also, I have seen through your body. Although you have material form, the inside is basically nonexistent. You don’t have blood, heart, and everything else. But it’s not hollow. Just like a slime. And you are ghosts. Which mean you won’t be able to die, right? You’re all just the perfect sparring partners,” I said.
These ghosts are here for the test. But if they help us to get stronger, that would be perfect.
They can’t die, and they were supposed to have the strength they used to have before they died. And since they are here, that means they managed to cut down the tree which is difficult thing to do. My method can only work because I have Victoria.
Maybe some of them are not a muscleheaded idiot. Some might be smarter than me. Not that I think of myself as the smartest man in the world. But at least I can learn something from them.
“Well, it’s not like you have anything to do, right? And moving your body again after a thousand years is better than nothing. Though I hope you won’t kill us,” I said.
“AHAHAHA! Fine, I agree with you! I don’t know about the others, but I will practice with you!”
The one who said that was the man who died single without any descendant, and have similar ability as Fabio and Luna. Future Vision.
I have introduced him to Fabio, and seems like Fabio learned more about his ability now. If his ability became stronger, Luna doesn’t need to see something she shouldn’t see anymore.
The man is bald with full beard on his face. And his body is big. He looks very strong as he punched his fists together. Is he some sort of unarmed fighting specialist? Fighting without weapon? I’m interested in fighting him.
“Okay. I’ll bring those who won’t fight today to leave. As for me, I will fight every day here. After all, if I’m not here, you ghosts won’t have your material form. Kayla, arrange the schedule for everyone. I won’t take the test anytime soon. Maybe after a few months of training and everyone has seen the result of their training.”
Leaving the schedule to Kayla, I look around to see that not all the ghosts seem to be interested in fighting us.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Well, other than him and few others, the rest used weapons to fight. Our weapons that we brought with us the first time we’re here were destroyed with age. We can’t fight well without weapons. I guess we will let those unarmed fighters to fight while we just watch,” Mona explained.
I see. No wonder I didn’t see any weapons here. Even if there are any, they would be too rusty. Even with Aura, they won’t be usable.
“Don’t worry. Didn’t I say that Victoria can create clones? She’s also my main weapon because of her shapeshifting ability. You can create your weapons with those clones of hers and fight. If you don’t have enough, tell me,” I said as I threw a lot of Blobbies that have been transformed into various weapons toward the ancient Aura users.
The ancient Aura users were interested in the weapons and grabbed their preferred weapons. Some didn’t have the weapons they are proficient at, so they asked them from me. I also told them that they can just grab any of the weapons and change them with their own will if they want.
With this, everyone is ready. I returned those who were not scheduled to fight today. The kings were also returned. They told me that I have to get stronger before they left.
Some of the ancient Aura users tried to enter the portals, but something seems to be blocking them. They have been locked here for thousands of years and they want a taste of freedom. Though I promise them I would bring some snacks whenever I come here. I wonder if they still have a sense of taste.
“Alright. Who will you be fighting first? Before we train the others, we’d like to see the strength of the only Aura user left on the world. Who will you fight?”
The Aura user who died single asked me who will be the first I fight. And I already have the answer.
“Clarence, I want to fight you. You are supposed to be my grand master, so I’m interested in fighting you,” I said.
“I see. I also want to see how strong the current Aura user is. Victoria, it has been a thousand years since you see me fight, right? But I have been a ghost for a thousand year and surrounded by other Aura users and became even stronger than back when I was still alive. Any advice you give to your disciple won’t be enough,” Clarence said.
“Don’t worry. My disciple is not just strong and fast. You will lose if you underestimate him,” Victoria said.
“That’s good to hear. You remember the weapon I mainly use, right?” Clarence said as he grabbed a Blobbysword from the ground.
“Sure,” Victoria said. And then, the Blobbysword on Clarence’s hand changed shape. It became a one-handed sword with thinner blade. Not as thin as a rapier, but I think it’s also specialized in piercing more than slashing.
“Sonia, please get back. Aura can kill ghosts, but you are the only ghost who can die here. We will be fine if we got hit by Aura, but not you,” Clarence said to Sonia.
Sonia then moved to the audience seat, while the others also stepped back and cleared the tools nearby to give us more space to fight.
A thousand year being surrounded by ancient Aura users. Even if he couldn’t try anything, just by hearing their advice should help him get stronger. And as he said, Victoria’s advice might not be enough for me to win.
Well, winning is not what I want. Winning is good, but this is a training. I need to get stronger instead. So, losing is fine as long as I can learn something. But I will give my all with the intention of winning.
“Start!”
All of a sudden, the bald Aura user who died single announce the beginning of the match. Well, in real battles there’s no sign at all. As someone who has experienced real battle, I’m already prepared to fight even before I entered this place after I heard about this place from Sonia who scouted first.
But even with all my preparation, I wasn’t prepared to see what’s coming from Clarence.
The Aura user who was the master of Victoria and Sonia, casted magic as his first move!
It’s just a normal Fireball. But instead of power, it has speed. It’s much faster than average Fireball. Even the speed is about the same as Angela’s Fireball even though from what I can see, his level shouldn’t be stronger than expert level. Probably, it’s advanced level at most.
But I’m also fast. I quickly slashed the incoming Fireball in two with Reizpear and see the shocked expression of my grand master.
“Slashing magic with Aura? Boy, you can do something I couldn’t do back when I was alive. But if that’s all you have, it’s not enough to defeat me!”
