Chapter 16: Aura Initiation
Why did Chosen Ones always have rough starts? If one were to think deeply about it, many answers could be given. However, from Damians experience in Fates Guide, there was a very common factor.
All high-grade characteristics have huge penalties.
Special talents or abilities were the elements that made the weak beginning characters playable, but they were often also the cause of their misfortune.
In Iris case, she was meant to perform well by devouring resources. Yet, the penalty was what stood between her and obtaining these resources. Without them, she was completely useless as an Aura Knight.
Its all for me to use now.
Thankfully, knowing these hidden trap elements was Damians privilege as Iris Plot Armor. So, there was no way he was going to miss out on their effect.
In fact, Damian hypothesized that even using one Life Stone would have a great effect on Iris body. However, he didnt do all of this work for nothing. If he wanted to properly enjoy the results, he had to go all or nothing!
[ Aura +1 ]
It wasnt really much of a bet, but it immediately started paying off. Although the rich stream of energy made Damian feel bloated, that feeling immediately dispersed as something miraculous happened.
Now that it was back in its body of origin, the tiny slivers of Platinum Aura were like vicious beasts that bounced on their naive prey.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
Without showing any remorse, it dragged the large particles inside as their size started to gradually decrease before landing back in Damians heart.
[ Aura +1 ]
The talents name isnt the least bit exaggerated.
He couldnt see inside the body, but Damian was somehow able to sense everything from the tiny slivers perspective.
Although the start of the process felt like a calm fishing session, it quickly turned into a brutal show of consumption.
Was it because it had been starved for long? Iris Aura just didnt seem like it would be full any time soon.
[ Aura +1 ]
[ Aura +1 ]
The large energy particles kept charging in like fools, easily falling for the sweet trap, but in time, their numbers started to decrease just as Damian felt his heart getting full.
Moreover, it was starting to take a constant shape, one that expanded beyond the limited scope of the heart!
[ First Aura Ring has been condensed. ]
As if affected by the continuity of the circulations, the shape that the Platinum Aura took was that of an endlessly circling Ring.
The circle had somehow taken orbit around the heart, circling it like an engine. Nevertheless, instead of feeling irked by its existence, Damian felt more complete.
Its resonating with something.
At first, the Aura Rings orbit was irregular, but just like it was the right piece of the puzzle, it quickly slid down to its right place, horizontally circling the very center of the heart.
[ Platinum Aura Nurturing has reached Tier-1. ]
{Damian? Damian!}
Once this small internal adventure came to an end, Damian broke out of his trance to find Iris staring at his face with worry and panic. Despite assuring her about everything, it seemed like she was still worried.
Im fine Great actually.
The fatigue in his body was still mostly there, but Damian felt like his spirit could break through the roof!
The Life Stones in his lap had now completely lost their luster, turning into normal gray rocks. However, Damian wasnt brought down by their sight, a resource well-spent was never truly a loss!
{Then Did you actually do it? Did it help?}
Seeing Damians smile, the anticipation in Iris heart could no longer keep itself contained. Her imaginary dream had actually been achieved.
For the first time since she was overcome with despair, Iris wanted to jump back into her body and personally check everything!
Why dont we find out?
Pressing the group to prop himself up, Damians smile widened as he called out in his heart.
Status Window.
It was time to check the first true change that he initiated as a cheating Plot Armor!
