[Confirmation received. I will release one percent of your aura. You might feel immense pain, but your body won't be damaged.]
Suddenly, I start feeling a rush of energy coursing through my body, while a red aura dances around me.
This feeling... It's like the aura of a vampire noble, but this body isn't suited for it.
I think to myself, glancing at my veins bulging and glowing red as if something is flowing through them. My heartbeat also races, beating faster and faster.
[Your heart rate increased to 500 BPM per second.]
[Your heart rate increased to 600 BPM per second.]
[Your heart rate has stabilized at 600 BPM while using the aura.]
[Since you, master, are different from other awakeneds, your blood aura is fueling itself with its blood essence, without the use of Mana. You can use your Mana pool for other things, like casting spells or performing magic-like feats.]
Abruptly, after seeing this message, all my senses drastically increase. It's as if I can even hear and see the drop of a pin from a long distance.
"This... How dare you stand like that in a fight!?" a voice suddenly brings me back to reality.
Raising my head, I see about twenty fireballs heading in my direction.
Damn... I need blood. When did I ever have to worry about blood, especially since I had an unlimited blood pool in my past life?
Cursing out loud, I make a small cut on my left palm, allowing blood to ooze out.
Suddenly, the blood starts floating a few centimeters above my palm, forming a small circular shape.
"Blood bomb!" I exclaim as I shoot the small blood drop at the oncoming fireballs.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
An explosion occurs in the distance as the blood bomb collides with Anya's myriad of fireballs.
Letting out a sigh, I see Anya conjuring another spell as several ice shards start forming in the sky.
This scale of magic... Anya is really talented.
[You have learned a new spell: Fireball.]
A notification suddenly appears amidst my thoughts.
Huh... What the...
Fireball, the most basic and easiest spell, which costs a few gold coins to purchase or learn, is easily granted by my system. This is truly amazing!
Though it might seem like a simple basic spell, in the hands of a higher mage with a large Mana pool, it can become a dangerous spell.
"I don't know what your power is, but it's truly amazing. However, you still have to deal with these bad guys!" Anya shouts as she waves her hand, launching about a hundred ice shards at me.
Damn... She won't even let me get close to her. I swear, sprinting away from the ice shards.
No matter how much I dodge, Anya keeps bombarding me with more. She's desperately trying to stop me from getting closer to her, but...
"Forget dodging!" I curse out loud, ceasing to evade the oncoming ice shards.
Suddenly, I focus on my Mana pool.
What is this...? What is this amount of Mana pool...?
My eyes widen as I feel the abundance of Mana within me. If I unleash it all, everyone in Ironica might start puking blood or even die. Or worse, my body would be torn to pieces.
In my past life, we used Mana cells instead of Mana pools, but they both functioned the same way. However, the concept of a Mana pool feels more monstrous, similar to something I frequently used in my past life—a Ki pool.
Since I can't unleash it all, I'll use just enough to defeat Anya, as I'm not fighting against a god or titan.
I raise my palm into the air.
"Fireball," I pronounce, and in the next moment, a small ball of fire appears in my hand.
This is magic... I think inwardly as adrenaline rushes through my veins. It's the first time I'm using magic as a former ability user.
Even Anya looks astonished...
Unexpectedly, I begin to increase the size of the fireball, radiating a wave of heat that melts the ice shards in mid-air.
But I don't stop there; I continue enlarging the fireball, making it about two meters in circumference.
Seeing what I'm doing, a shocked expression appears on Anya's face.
"H-How can you..."
There's one thing I excel at—using techniques.
I concentrate all my power into my right arm to enhance throwing power. This technique is called body shift. I can also use it to transform my body parts into anything I want, although I can't fully utilize it with my current power.
In a flash, I throw the ball at Anya with tremendous force.
Before the ball reaches Anya, a bright light suddenly flashes, and the fireball disappears.
Huh...
Looking up, I see Anya cowering, a terrified expression on her face.
Damn... Did I go too far? And how the heck did the fireball vanish?
"Didn't I warn you not to teach him any spells!?" an angry voice emerges in the distance.
Looking ahead, I see Mom power-walking toward us.
Without waiting for her to get closer, I run towards Anya and help her up.
"Are you okay?" I ask with a worried expression as she rises, brushing off the dried leaves on her body.
"I'm fine... H-how did you use that spell?"
"I don't know... I just learned it after you used it," I answer, while Anya gives me a piercing gaze.
"I'm sorry... I almost..."
"It's fine, brother," Anya interrupts me.
Now, I feel really bad for almost injuring my sister. I'm glad Mom came just in time.
B-But... What's with her expression? D-Don't tell me her yandere mode is about to kick in. B-But she should be worried about Anya instead.
Gulp...
