In the world of Ternion, swordsmanship was not just an art but one of the cornerstones of the human empire's power, second only to magic. A swordsman gained true recognition as a national-level threat upon stepping into the revered realm of a king-ranked swordsman. What set these masters apart were three key skills, each representing a level of enlightenment.
The first was Aura Blade, a foundational skill that marked the beginning of their mastery. Next came Formless Aura, where the swordsman gained precise control over their aura, able to manipulate it at will. Finally, the pinnacle was True Sword, a breakthrough that elevated one to the status of a true master, transcending the mortal realm to become akin to a demi-god.
