Now, Basmon just wanted to finish his Quest 'Intermediant Aura Control'. This quest didn't seem to hard, so Basmon decided he would ask Vatue about it once he came back.
After a while, Vatue and Zocu came back carring a large bear.
"Dad! We killed a huge bear!" Vatue yelled excitedly, his body covered in small cuts. Zocu, on the other hand, had a huge cut accross his face, but seemed fine other wise.
'What Happened?' Basmon wondered.
"Well, we went hunting! We killed a bear!" Vatue proudly announced.
'Right... And why did you target a bear?' Basmon asked.
"Well... It tried to steal our boar from us..." Zocu muttered while Vatue looked down shamefully.
'You... Wanted to test your strength, didnt you...' Basmon scolded.
"Well, It's fine! We killed it!" Vatue said hopefully. Basmon ended up taking pity of the minotaur, and decided to let it go.
'Alright, don't do it agian. But good job killing the bear!' Basmon stated thoughtfully. It truly was immpresive that they had killed a full grown bear when just a bit ago Vatue and himself had barly gotten a smaller bear.
'Vatue... What level is your aura control?' Basmon asked.
"Well... My aura domination has reached the advanced level... I need to get it to perfection quickly though..." Vatue muttered, somehow ashamed he had it at the advanced level.
'Wonderful! Good job!' Basmon praised, cheering Vatue up.
"Thanks..." He muttered.
'Yes... Now could you help me reach intermediat aura control?' Basmon requested.
"Well, I can't help you other than telling you the requirments... You have to be able to shape your aura into whatever shape you want in under a second, and also have over 50 aura... So I was born with intermediat aura control. To get to advanced you need 200 Aura, along with enough control that you can release it 6 inches from your body without to much strugle." Vatue stated.
'Oh... That means I need to kill 30 more animals with aura and practice some more... That can't take to long.' Basmon thought happily. He quickly went to his little ledge, and started to practice.
After a while, he decided to go to his own training room instead of chilling on the ledge.
'Train!'
He was immediantly teleported to the training room.
Once inside, he started to practice working on his aura. He already was able to summon his shield in under 5 seconds, but now he had to slowly chip that time down.
'System, is there any way for you to aid me in this?' Basmon asked, as he really did NOT want to spend a couple days training.
'Alright... That's too bad. Guess I'll have to do this by myself...' Basmon thought to himself.
Basmon sat down on a confterble couch and started to train. There was no reason for him to sit in an unconfterable position like alot of manga make it seem... After all, how would that help in any way. Infact, it would hider him due to being unconfterable.
After a couple of days, Basmon had finally trained his aura control to the point of summoning it in a shape in under a second along with controling it from 6 inches away from his body. This was easily the hardest part of the whole opperation, as trying to control aura that was not connecting back to your body was like trying to benchpress 500LB. It was immposible for most. It ended up taking Basmon over 4 days to finish, with no breaks.
Now, he only needed to kill a ton of animals... 'Actually... System, why didn't me aura go up when I killed the monsters in the forest?' Basmon wondered.
'Oh... That actually makes sense. Guess I'll have to do this the old fashion way...' Basmon muttered internally.
He quickly left the training room and left to Vatue and Zocu, who seemed to have been fine during the short while Basmon was gone.
'Vatue, Zocu. I have finished with 'Aura Control' thankfully. Vatue, your arn't kinding. That is insanly hard. Now I just need to kill 200 animals. Lets go do this!' Basmon told them happily.
Basmon summoned spectral body, and all of them went back down the mountain once more, where the trees were already growing back. Wether due to mana in the air or due to their own tanacity, they grew back insanly fast. You coul no longer tell that a huge fire had occered not too long ago. Of corse, the underbrush had almost entirly disapeared, but it was still here and there.
Soon, they found a bunny. Vatue captured it, and Vatue killed it with a sword he signed originally forming his aura.
<+1 Aura>
'Great... So I can kill any living creature... Wait. What about bugs?' Basmon wondered. He had Zocu go grab him a slug and bring it back to him.
Soon, Zocu brought it back. Basmon grabbed the bug in his hand, and pieced it with his aura.
<+0.0001 Aura. Note: Aura so insignifact it will not count>
'What? Thats so lame! Why can't it count the same as a rabit!' Basmon moaned. He decided not to hunt bugs, unless they found an ant super colony or something where killing all of them might get him a couple aura. If he found a super colony, he might be able to get a hundred aura out of it, assuming each ant gave him 0.0001 aura, as a super colony of ants usally has 1,000,000+ ants.
Soon, Basmon, Vatue and Zocu found their next pray, a small deer type creature. Vatue quickly trapped it with Zocu and held it back whilst Basmon came to it and tried to slash it down.
<-1 HP, Killed Spectral Body>
The small deer thing kicked Basmon in the stomac, nocking him back.
'Shoot! I forgot about how little HP spectral body has!' Basmon moaned, summoning it back with a couple more HP.
His spectral body now has 6 HP. Basmon, once more, jumped towards the struggling deer and killed it.
<+1 Aura. (23 Total Aura)>
This patteren kept repeating for a couple of hours until the stumbled upon a bear. All of them still had max mana because killing small creatures like bunnys was extreamly easy.
'Vatue! You take the agro! Zocu and I will do the damage!' Basmon commanded, shooting the bear with an ice arrow. The bear swung its great paw, swiping the arrow away, into the ground near them, causing a torrent of ice to explode there. Vatue jumped onto of the bear, who was a bit smaller than him, almost crushing the bear to the ground. Zocu started to attack the bear with 2 small swords, ending up stabbing out its eye.
Basmon decided to test his newest skill, Arrow Transformation.
'Vatue! Zocu! Back off!' Basmon commanded, and they both jumped away from the bear, who slowly backed away, feeling threatend.
'Arrow Rain!' Basmon commanded, causing arrows to shoot out from behind him towards the bear. He immediantly activated Arrow Transformation, causing a 100 of them to combine.
The arrow tore through the bear, completly illiminating it.
'Wait! Did that count for my aura? I had it summonded... But I didn't kill it with aura!' Basmon said worridly.
<+10 Aura. (92 Total Aura)>
'Oh thank the gods...' Basmon muttered, as a bear was worth 10x more aura then a regular bunny or other small animal.
After learning he just had to have Aura summonded to gain Aura, hunting became much easier.
Within 9 hours, Basmon had gotten 200 aura.
'What? Information? I have never gotten this kind of reward, but this seems super useful...' Basmon thought, not sure how he felt about this reward yet.
'Oh? This is wonderful information! How amazing! This is so much better than any skill the system would have given me! The sole problem is competion... Guess Vatue and Zocu will need to come with me... Actually, system, whats the skill?' Basmon asked.
'Great! This is such a good skill! I need that!' Basmon said, deciding his next goal would be to go get that skill. The sole problem was... Would the system lock the skill like it did with lightning manipulation? Basmon sure hoped not... But he would soon find out.
'Hey! Vatue! Zocu! We are going to be going to the highest peak in these mountains, I heard a legendary skill will be appearing there!' Basmon told the two.
"How did you know that, Dad?" Vatue asked with Zocu nodding in agreement.
'I have my ways...' Basmon said, acting all mysterious.
"Aww..." Vatue muttered, leaving with Zocu to go hunt.
*Somewhere else with Vasil
"What??? The prophet propecies a legendary skill appearing in the mountains on the highest peak? And the one who stole the God Tier skill will appear there too? Quickly! Notify father! We need reinforments! My team will immediantly start rushing there!" Vasil yelled to a soldier in the room, who was shivering in fear.
The man ran out of the small camp, and broke a small scroll.
'Psst... Master! Quick! I dont have much time! Apple Mountain! Now!' The man hissed, refering to the tallest mountain the the Fruit Mountain range. Why it was called that... Who knows. It sounds like a lazy author. Too bad this is the real world...
The man then broke another scroll and informed the king about the information. The king immediantly sent out small army to go and recapture the God Tier skill. Of course, the legendary skill would be an added bonus.
During the fight for the God-Tier skill book, they had lost over 20 of the best warriors in the army, along with over 1000 of their elite troops. And they didn't even get the skill. Some weak group that even the weakest of the 1000 troops who died could easily destory had stolen the skill after everyone else was half dead. So, of course, they wanted the skill back. After all, it could easily be an unstoppable force if they gave it to Jityss, who had barly enough mana.
Jityss had become stronger extreamly fast. Due to his dragon bloodline and innate talent, he had already gained over 15 thousand mana and awoken almost 10% of his bloodline. He could easily suppress an entire army already. He also advaced faster due to being suppressed for a long time in the dungeon.
Just like anger, after being suppresed for a long time, it pops back up stronger than ever. So sure enough, his growth exploded.
He was even stronger than Vasil now. He, however, was not cocky. He still was wonderful friends with Vasil, and would defend the country with his life. He had already completly irradicated the Church of 5 Gods after the king passed a royal decree making it legal.
Now, the church that had sprung up was the 'Church of Time' which worshipped the god of time, Chronos. This god controled time, and his job was to make sure noone messed up the timeline. After all, if they did, there could be dire consiquences.
The church also worshiped Aether, the god of space and the heavens as a secondary, even though they had almost the same job and power. Thankfully, there was another church that did the same thing flipped, so the god's didn't care.
This church also followed the God Aethers teaching on slavery, and belived all slavery to be disgusting. In fact, Jityss was the main priest in the church, and even the king came to worship there some times.
The church also decided to support the army going to get back the God Tier skill, as the skill belonged to the death god, who was fighting Chronos, and this could be the peace offering.
In the end, the King agreed to them coming so long as they did not take the skill if ANYONE from the Kings army still stood.
The church ended up agreeing, and went on the hope everyone from the kings army ran or died so they could get the skill. Of course, they still supported the king.
