The Only Aura User In Magic World

Anyway, there’s a reason why I said it again.

After I finished checking on the steel rhino that I grabbed, I killed that monster with just a single punch with my fist covered with Blobbygloves as I covered it with Aura.

Even for average Aura users, or at least those I call average among the ancient Aura users I fought before, they would have some trouble in crushing the thick skin of the rhino. But I can do it with a punch after becoming an Aura Master even though I haven’t used Super Aura yet.

I killed it because even though it’s not for consumption, it’s a monster. And as a summoner, as long as I defeat them with my familiar, I can get some experience to make my summoning element reach another level. So, it’s not really animal abuse.

Anyway, monster and animal are different. But seeing what happened after I returned to where the others are, and seeing what happened to the other rhino I gave them, I can only think of the rhino as being unlucky.

Even though monster and animal are different, I still pity that rhino who died in a gory way.

.....

“...So, what happened?” I asked.

“I’m testing the rhino if it has other abilities! I think I tested too much that the rhino ended up dead so quickly. But I learned a lot! Master, tomorrow, I will go and face the boss rhino! Please help me at that time, Master!” Jewel said.

Okay. So, it ended up this way after being tested by Jewel and the others.

I heard from Kayla that since the rhino has good magic resistance, Jewel and the others tried to use various magic on it. And the result was shocking.

Any magic from advanced level magic or below won’t even give a scratch on the rhino. I also added that any normal physical attack won’t give them much damage either unless I use Aura.

As for expert level magic, they needed a strong magic to give the rhino any real damage. But that is still difficult.

“So, if you can evolve your rhino into a steel rhino, it’s possible that only master level mage can hurt you. Anything below that and you won’t receive any damage. Isn’t that too powerful? But that’s a good choice though,” I said.

“Yeah. I thought that just by getting earth magic that allow me to change the terrain will be good enough. But it turns out that they have something special. As for the boss rhino, it seems that even expert level magic won’t hurt it in any way. But it’s a good thing that Master brought me here,” Jewel said as she lifted an iron needle to show me.

The needle doesn’t seem to be a weapon. It’s too short and too thin to be called a weapon. The length is just around 50cm and even Jewel with her hand can hold around ten of them in one hand. But maybe it is a weapon since it’s among the items that I needed to test.

“Is that a magic weapon?” I asked.

“Yes! Victoria told me that it could be good to either me or Candy since we’re both lightning mages. And there are ten of them, so we can share them. Five each. And I think this weapon suit us,” Jewel said.

If they have five each, they can always bring them anywhere. I tried to lift them up, and they are quite light. Even though it looks thin, they seem to be made of strong material.

“So, what’s the effect of these... needles?” I asked.

After asking Jewel, she then threw one needle to a tree. And the needle stabed it. I guess the physical training she endures every day after becoming my disciple went well. Though for her throwing accuracy, it’s all her own effort.

“That’s a good throw. And then what will happen?” I asked again.

“Then, I just need to aim lightning magic on that needle. This will happen.”

Then, Jewel casts a weak lightning magic. It’s just around beginner level.

But when the magic hit the needle, the damage the tree received were many times than what Jewel used. It’s almost at the same level as her expert level magic at full strength.

“Whoa! Just a little bit of lightning it becomes like that?”

The tree where the needle struck was utterly destroyed. And it started to burn as well. Seems like we found something good for our lightning mages.

“We have ten of them. We thought of getting them divided between Candy and I. But that’s also depend on how good our throwing skill is,” Jewel said.

“And seems like Jewel will be the one to keep them all. I’m not good at throwing at all. Though I’d like to at least keep some of them for myself,” Candy added.

Then they informed me that those needles are actually consumable weapons. One needle can only receive lightning magic a few times before they got destroyed. And they have disposed two of them already.

So, to not waste them, Jewel and Candy were practicing their throwing skill by using Blobbies that have been transformed into the same shape and same weight. And that’s when I opened a portal and give them a rhino for them to test.

If Jewel has some of them, once they got stuck into the boss rhino, she can defeat it. The question is whether it’s necessary or not for her to defeat the boss rhino.

“Jewel, do you need to defeat the boss rhino so you can evolve?” I asked Jewel.

“Timmy said that I don’t need to. But it’s the faster way. I can just learn more about them slowly, but that will took too much time. So, it’s best to be done with it sooner,” Jewel replied.

So, it’s just a matter of time. Since we don’t know if the cult will attack again, it’s best for her to achieve her goal sooner. So she can evolve quickly.

“I see. Then, prepare yourself for tomorrow. Though I don’t think your throwing skill will be strong enough to pierce the boss rhino’s skin. How will you do it then?” I asked Jewel.

“Then, I need to get closer to the boss rhino and pierce a needle into the eyes, nose, ear, or mouth. Although they are still hard to penetrate, those places are still weaker than the rest of their body,” Jewel said as she pointed at the rhino she killed.

Now that I look carefully, there are needle wounds on the places that Jewel mentioned. No wonder the rhino died in a terrible shape. After being stabbed in those places, it got electrocuted by Jewel’s magic.

And I will mention it again. It’s a rhino monster and not an animal. This is not animal abuse.

“You want to get closer to the rhino? That would be difficult. You don’t want me to help you with that? I can stab those needles anywhere I want, you know?” I asked Jewel.

“I know that master can do it. But this is also for my training. I can’t expect that the enemies I will face in the future would let themselves get stabbed by the needles. That’s why I want to ask you to help me practice,” Jewel asked me to train her.

“Okay. Let’s do it. Do I need to pretend to be a rhino and keep charging at you?” I asked.

“Just for the battle against the boss rhino. I will ask you to help me in facing human opponents after that,” Jewel said.

“Okay. Victoria, give me a lot of Blobbies,” I gave the order to Victoria.

Some of the Blobbies were given to Jewel. The ones given to Jewel were then transformed into similar looking needles.

As for the rest of the Blobbies, I had them transformed into a rhino’s head. The same size and appearance as the boss rhino.

“...What is that?” Victoria asked.

“A rhino’s head,” I replied casually.

“I know that. But why?”

“For training.”

On the back of the rhino’s head, there’s a handle in which I can hold them. And then while holding the rhino’s head in front of me, I started charging at Jewel.

“Wait, what!? Master, I’m not ready yet!”

As I charged at her, Jewel jumped to the side to avoid my charge.

“Don’t expect anyone will wait for you to get prepared! Anyway, I made the nose holes and the ears to be weaker than the rest of the head. As for the eyes and the mouth, I will made them move however I want. Try to not hit those area when the rhino is closing their mouth and eyes. This is the best training for you to prepare your fight against the boss rhino. Well, do your best!”

Training while I pretend to be a rhino is the best for her to be able to defeat it. Though I can’t use earth magic, so Jewel will need to think about it herself on how she will fight it.

And so, today we ended up training Jewel while the others are testing the magic items and watch us training. It is fun for me to just chase after a target without thinking of anything.

The next day, I’m ready to bring Jewel to face the boss rhino.
