Fzzzt! The lightning magic initiated from the scroll shot toward the swamp at a speed that would have been imperceptible if Kaiyan hadnt activated his perception acceleration in advance. Kuwaak? The Kuma, half-subrged in the swamps outskirts and asleep, were awakened by the light. Its too late. Fzzzt! Kuwaak! Kuek! The mont the yellow light touched the swamp, it expanded like fire spreading to a tree, and illuminating a part of the swamp in an instant. Along with the Kuma brutes screams. Ooh I wasnt expecting much from a 5th circle, but its better than I thought? A 5th circle magic would be considered between the levels of an advanced and a top-tier aura expert by the standards of a knight. Of course, this was possible due to the swamp acting as a dium, but the magic seed impressive for damaging hundreds of the Kuma. This was a range attack that would be impossible even if Kaiyan activated Blaze Armor and launched Aura swing. [Still, only a few of them died!] You cant expect a single 5th circle spell to kill them all. Shall we begin then? Kuwaaaak! After swinging the sword he hadnt used in a while a few tis into the air, Kaiyan walked towards the kuma rushing at him with red eyes filled with rage. The Kuma, with their brown and green skin burnt to a charred black. Crunch! Kaiyan lowered his stance and pulled back his sword towards the Kuma charging through the swamp with rapid splashes. Uncle Jeff used to say. -Kaiyan, rember that gaining the upper hand is crucial when facing monsters. Monsters keep attacking when they think theyre facing soone weaker than themselves. Unlike humans, monsters are creatures faithful to their instincts. They bow their heads to stronger predators and prey on the weaker ones, a world of survival of the fittest. Kraaaak! Huh! Who do you think I am? Kaiyan took a deep breath and swung his arm forward, fully activating his aura. Boooom! As he swung his sword horizontally, An Aura swing, sharper and sleeker than before, sliced through the bodies of the Kuma charging at him and advanced towards the swamp. It was a precise control of aura that would have been impossible 30 days ago. Ill make sure you rember this well. Kwaaaaang! The Aura swing, after slicing through dozens of the Kuma, exploded upon hitting the swamp, revealing its muddy bottom as it created a huge splash. The swamp, which was about 1.2 ters deep, was montarily exposed. Kuwaak! Kuek! Kuma hit by the aura fell, face-first into the swamp. Apparently, more Kuma plunged into the swamp than Kaiyan had anticipated, already weakened by the magic. Huh! [Youre overdoing it! We dont know when the swamp will disappear, you should conserve your aura more] Rieka, seemingly worried about Kaiyans recklessness from the start, suggested retreating. But, Its okay. I havent just been playing around all this ti. During the 30 days in Havnheim, Kaiyan hadnt wielded a sword but had always used his aura while practicing with his fists. What he gained was a detailed ability to control aura and a deeper understanding of the Maeslin Aura Manual, which he had only partially grasped before. I still have plenty of aura. Despite using a more powerful Aura swing than before, his body was still brimming with much more aura, bubbling and bursting with power. Efficient use of aura and continuous absorption over 30 days made this possible. And Kuwaak! As the Kuma, startled by the explosion, gathered their wits and charged again, Theres no need to worry with so many monsters to catch. [Uh Okay!] Then! Fwip fwip fwip! Kaiyan smiled at Rieka before leaping towards the swamp, kicking off the ground. The swamp is their territory. The mont he steps into it, he needs to be on full alert. Splish. Kraak? Right, surprised? As Kaiyan entered the swamp, the charging Kuma hesitated, looking at him as if questioning his sanity. I hope the spirits hurry up. Without the spirits, this would be an insane act to attempt. The swamp, already reaching up to his chest, started to constrain his movents, especially its sticky bottom. Kuak! Kraak! Huh! Swinging his sword towards a Kuma that ca too close, the sword moved slower than usual due to the swamp. Thankfully, his shoulders were not subrged, allowing for that speed. Had he been fully subrged, the Kumas claws would have torn him apart before he could swing his sword, as they beco as strong as ogres in the swamp. Pfwah! Kuek!! Missed. The Kuma scread as one of its arms, which Kaiyan originally aid to slice along with its neck, got severed. On flat ground, such a feat would have been easily achievable, but it beca challenging in the swamp. Wooong! As he prepared for another attack, a small magic circle appeared overhead. [Kaiyan! Its Haste magic!] Great! Haaaap! Feeling as if the swamps constriction lessened, his speed increased. With this newfound agility, Kaiyan swung his sword at the Kuma charging from both sides. Swoosh! Cough! Utilizing the largest amount of aura he could muster through his sword, he swiftly beheaded the brutes, who collapsed into the swamp, green blood mixing with the muddy water, still in their attacking pose. The Kuma now fell with a single blow, unlike before. Good. Lets gather as many of them as possible. Splish splash. He moved deeper into the swamp, knocking down The Kuma one by one, to prevent them from escaping even if the swamp disappeared. Krrrr! After taking down perhaps 200? 300? He hadnt leveled up, so it couldnt have been more than 500. Haah Haah! Why still? The problem was, despite killing so many, there was no change in the swamp.
