Chapter 45: CHP 45 THE NEXT LEVEL

Chapter 45 — THE NEXT LEVEL

Two weeks had passed since Kil Ful began training with Gyro.

Every day, Kil Ful trained from morning until evening. His body had become stronger, his movements had become faster, and most importantly, his control over White Aura had completely changed.

He no longer used White Aura only to increase his speed and physical attacks. Gyro had taught him to shape the Aura into different forms, allowing Kil Ful to create multiple attacks from different ranges.

Kil Ful could now fire Aura Bullets, create concentrated Aura Blasts, strengthen his sword with Aura, and release short-range bursts of energy from his hands.

But there was another major change.

Kil Ful had learned how to use White Aura defensively.

Instead of allowing the Aura to simply surround his body, he could concentrate it at the exact point where an attack was coming. He could create an Aura barrier around himself for a short time, greatly reducing the force of incoming attacks.

Gyro watched Kil Ful practice silently.

Kil Ful suddenly raised his hand.

A large Aura barrier appeared in front of him.

Gyro threw a small stone toward him.

The stone hit the barrier and fell to the ground.

Kil Ful smiled.

"I can defend with Aura now."

Gyro nodded.

"You’re improving quickly."

Kil Ful looked at his hands.

"I can do things with White Aura that I couldn’t even imagine before."

Gyro’s expression became serious.

"Kil Ful, it’s not over yet."

Kil Ful looked at him.

"Not over?"

Gyro nodded.

"After one more week, we will return to Aurelia Kingdom."

Kil Ful became curious.

"What happens after that?"

Gyro turned away.

"You’ll find out when we get there."

Kil Ful smiled slightly.

"Okay."

AURELIA KINGDOM

At the same time, Morry’s training with Kael had also produced major results.

Morry had finally reached Elite rank.

He stood in the training area while Kael watched him carefully.

Kael smiled.

"Morry, you’ve become much stronger than before."

Morry looked at his hands.

"I still have a long way to go."

Kael nodded.

"That’s the right attitude."

He looked at Morry seriously.

"Keep practicing your new form."

Morry nodded.

"Yes, Kael."

Kael then turned around.

"I’m leaving for a mission."

Morry looked surprised.

"What kind of mission?"

Kael paused.

"I’ll inform you later."

Morry nodded.

"Okay."

Kael walked away from the training ground.

Morry watched him disappear into the distance.

He wondered what kind of mission could make Kael leave so suddenly.

VALTARA KINGDOM

Meanwhile, Maddy’s training had also reached another level.

He had completely mastered Lira’s Mud Power.

The mud no longer felt like a separate ability.

It moved naturally with his body.

Maddy could combine his Flash Reflex with mud manipulation, creating attacks that appeared from unexpected directions.

He could move at high speed while using mud to attack, defend, trap opponents, and change his movement.

His reflexes allowed him to react instantly while the mud protected his blind spots.

Maddy stood in the training ground as several mud blades floated around him.

He suddenly disappeared.

The mud moved with him.

Within seconds, several targets around the training ground were struck.

Brine watched from a distance.

"His control has improved tremendously."

Rony’s training had also reached a new stage.

His Black Force had evolved.

The dark energy around his body had become much denser and more powerful than before. Instead of simply increasing his strength, the upgraded Black Force now reinforced his entire body, making his attacks heavier and his defense stronger.

Rony could also release Black Force through his hammer, creating powerful shockwaves whenever his hammer struck the ground.

He raised his hammer.

Black energy spread across the weapon.

Rony swung it downward.

The ground shook from the impact.

Brine watched carefully.

"Your Black Force has changed."

Rony smiled.

"I can feel it."

KIL FUL’S TRAINING

Back at the mountain, Kil Ful stood several hundred meters away from a massive mountain.

Gyro stood behind him.

"Show me what you’ve learned."

Kil Ful raised his hand.

His White Aura began concentrating at his fingertips.

One small point of light appeared.

Then another.

Then another.

Within seconds, dozens of tiny Aura projectiles surrounded his hand.

Gyro’s eyes narrowed.

Kil Ful smiled.

"Here I go."

He pointed toward the mountain.

"Aura Bullets."

Dozens of concentrated Aura projectiles shot forward at incredible speed.

They struck the mountain one after another.

The entire surface shook.

When the attack stopped, Kil Ful lowered his hand.

The mountain was covered with countless holes.

Kil Ful stared at the result.

Gyro remained calm.

"Good."

Kil Ful smiled.

"But I know I can do better."

Gyro nodded.

"Exactly."

Kil Ful looked toward the mountain.

His White Aura became even stronger.

One more week remained.

And after that, he would return to Aurelia Kingdom.
