My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 712

Each step carried the wisdom and experiences of the legendary Hero Emperor of the North, and more than that, a fragment of his very soul had been embedded within the manual to pass down the technique in its purest form to the next generation. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

But there was a problem.

Kisha wasn't part of his bloodline, and her compatibility with the technique was only 68%. And in mastering Aura, compatibility was everything.

The battle raging within her body wasn't simply a clash of three opposing energies. She had just discovered that aura, unlike mana and spiritual energy, wasn't an external force but rather a direct manifestation of one's will—originating from the soul itself.

Because of this, aura could be used alongside mana and spiritual energy, even serving as a stabilizing force to contain, merge, or separate them at will.

This revelation meant that mastering aura wasn't just about power but about understanding, awakening, and enlightenment. Unlike mages who harness mana from their surroundings and store it in their mana hearts, awakening one's aura was an even greater challenge—demanding intense training and a deep connection to one's own will.

For an aura user, achieving mastery required uniting their physical and mental being as one, awakening their soul, and attaining enlightenment to unlock their aura.

However, opening one's aura was only the beginning. From there, they had to undergo rigorous mental and physical training, much like knights do.

Unlike mages, who focused solely on increasing their mana while leaving their physical bodies vulnerable, aura users had to maintain a delicate balance between mind and body.

Neglecting either aspect could disrupt the flow of their aura. The body acted as the vessel through which aura flowed, while the mind functioned as the engine that kept it connected to the soul.

Because of this, aura users were revered as the greatest knights, capable of going toe-to-toe with archmages—who were known for their formidable power and ability to tame dragons. In fact, aura users were often considered the natural adversaries of mages, standing as their greatest rivals in battle.

If mages were known for taming dragons and archmages could rival a dragon's firepower, then aura users were famed for their ability to bring down and slay dragons. Unlike ordinary beings, they were not as easily affected by mana, making them formidable opponents. However, this didn't mean they were invincible—mages, especially those more powerful than them, could still pose a lethal threat.

Now that Kisha understood this, she realized she didn't need to rely on accessories to amplify her aura to match her mana and spiritual energy. Even though her aura was weaker in comparison, it wouldn't be an issue as long as her body could contain all three energies.

Fortunately, her body was strong enough to serve as a vessel. After moments of nervousness and concern, Duke noticed her breathing gradually steadying and the tension in her face easing.

That was when he knew—Kisha had successfully integrated her aura with her mana and spiritual energy.

Kisha's breathing remained steady yet powerful as she delved deep into her soul, aligning her body, mind, and spirit into perfect harmony.
