"Now I can teach you the second style of disembowelling," Vlad's spirit said as he and Emily erged from the ring Jas was wearing.
When Jas nodded his head in agreent, Vlad's voice was heard again.
"The first of the three parts of my father Desmond's sword art is the slashing, which you have already learnt, but the style of this part, of course, does not consist of a single style. My father called them [dances]. The first art and the second part, the Piercing, is made up of two styles, two movents, just two of them."
"The first movent is known as the finisher, which you can learn the basics of and put into practice in a small way, and the second movent is known as the wounding, which is much easier to use but much more difficult to professionalize."
"Wounding?" Jas asked, listening to Vlad while trying to learn the styles of course.
"Exactly. The finisher allows you to attack by releasing all the aura you've gathered by spinning it into your sword or any weapon, but wounding is not like that. Again, you spin your aura to gather it and transfer it to your sword, but you don't release the energy in a single strike.
What you need to do is release the energy bit by bit in successive slashing attacks and keep the enemy as far away from you as possible, or kill them if you're lucky,' Vlad said.
"So you are saying that what I need to do is to keep the aura I have gathered in my sword Clarent for as long as possible and release the aura gathered in a small way in my serial stabbing movents?" Jas asked.
When he saw Vlad's confirmation, he moved back to the ready position and then, taking a deep breath, he swirled his aura and transferred it to his sword, then he quickly pierced the air and pulled it back, trying to do this repeatedly.
After doing this only twice, he realised that all the aura in the sword had dissipated and the aura swirling around his body had disappeared.
Curiously looking at Vlad, he wondered what was going on.
He didn't want to give up and wanted to try to understand what was going on before he asked Vlad questions, so he did it again, but this ti the aura disappeared as he made the second piercing motion.
He had no idea what was going on, wasn't this style supposed to be easier than the first one?
"Do you know why you failed?" Vlad asked, and as Jas shook his head from side to side to indicate no, he exhaled deeply and began to speak.
"You can spin your aura well, you've picked up what you've been taught quickly. You can inject your aura into the sword well, and that's good, but you can't release the aura from the sword properly. The aura should be in such a tense state that when you release it, the effect should last.
Why do you think only a small fraction of aura users can do that?" Vlad continued when he noticed Jas' curious and uncomprehending eyes.
"Look, Jas. The reason why you need to rotate your aura is not only to keep it from escaping out of the body but also to turn your aura into a tense state so that your attack can go beyond the concept of aura and act just like a spell, which is what you did in the first style. Doing it 6 tis in a row corresponds to this, each ti you release so of your stored aura with all its tension."
As Vlad finished speaking Jas put his free hand to his chin and then squinted his eyes at Clarent as if deep in thought, after a short ti he said:
"So what you're saying is that I'm not stretching the aura enough?"
Hearing Jas' question, Vlad nodded his head and then said, "Exactly." After a short ti, he went to Jas' side and put himself in the sa attack position as Jas and then a sword ford in his hand.
Jas assud that since his ancestor wasn't alive, he couldn't make a live demonstration, at least that's what Vlad had said.
"How co you?" Jas said questioningly, obviously surprised, how could he not be?
"Co on Jas, I tried to teach you by pressurising you and it worked, of course, I can make my soul seem alive in a way, I just can't affect reality," Vlad said with a mocking expression.
Jas had indeed chosen not to say anything out of respect, but looking into his eyes Vlad could see the disappointnt in the eyes of the young boy looking back at him.
With that, Vlad stopped where he was and then said, "Watch carefully."
Then sothing that emitted no sensation at all made Vlad's soul glow, and after a short ti, in just half a second, six piercing movents were perford by Vlad.

A gigantic glow imdiately travelled to the throne of the hall and passed through it.
Jas and everyone else watching everything through his eyes seed to be quite surprised. In a world where there were no real monsters, it was quite intriguing that a man who could evolve so gigantically could exist.
He was Vlad Desmond's son, though, so the man who was scarier than the gods should have been able to train him well enough.
"Did you see? Did you notice how I did the attack, how much aura I used each ti?" Vlad suddenly asked, the words alone were enough to stun everyone.
How could Jas himself have seen this? Well, Jas was indeed a fast man, but not as fast as his ancestor, such as the monster in front of him.
There was no way that was even remotely possible at his current level.
"Of course I didn't see it!" Jas suddenly shouted, seemingly unable to stand it, he couldn't imagine seeing such an attack.
