Chapter 154: Something That Can Everyone Use
"This is where the element within the aura will come into focus, not the aura itself. This is the first thing you need to learn."
At these words of Vlad, James was caught in a great curiosity, it was difficult for him to understand how this style was used, since using an element was part of magic outside the aura.
"How exactly is this going to work sir?" James asked with great curiosity.
"Before I explain this, I want everyone who is watching to listen carefully, especially as I realise that Nyx is watching you every minute like a pervert, so listen carefully," Vlad said, shocking everyone watching.
"This part was developed for everyone to use. The first and third parts were created just for the hoped-for future arrival, or rather, they were structured and created as a new art, separated from my father Desmond's sword art."
"That means that no matter what weapon you use, no matter what kind of god you are, you can use the cutting style, you just have to have a predisposition to one element, and according to my father, there is not a single human being without a predisposition to any element."
As Vlad finished these words, a message window popped up in front of James' eyes:
[Can you ask him if this style has any restrictions, James?]

Upon receiving this message notification from Nyx, Vlad suddenly came over to James and read the notification, then said, "No, Lady Nyx, there are no restrictions. My father created this style specifically as a power against the Fallen Gods. As a power against black magic."
The onlookers seemed pleased to hear this. If a warrior like Desmond created something, even if it was the simplest thing they could see in life, it would be as dangerous as the most powerful techniques they had.
That's how huge Desmond's presence was to all the Titans, never to be underestimated.
"I didn't know you could see my message windows or anything, sir," James suddenly said, looking genuinely surprised.
Vlad's face turned into an expression somewhere between surprise and sourness as James said these words, he looked at James for a few seconds and then said, "My soul is locked in your magic, what exactly did you expect? I can even see your inventory."
James' goofiness was surprising Vlad.
Vlad was constantly thinking about how James could be so silly and accomplish so much, it didn't make sense to the old man.
With that, James stood up and then said, "Please, let's begin, sir."
Vlad stood next to James after these words and began to speak:
"Now James, here's what I want you to do. Start using your aura and your magic at the same time. You don't need to spin or stretch your aura, you don't need to turn your magic into a huge mana, just activate both at the same time. We do this because the audience is not just aura users, or so I think."
With those words James did as Vlad had said and colourful flames filled the entire hall, the magic particles floating around reminded one of the snowflakes suspended in mid-air.
"Well done, now I want you to keep this sensation going and make your aura so tiny that it can be considered both unused and unspelled, and then somehow extract the element of your choice from it," Vlad said he had no idea how confusing this was.
James looked at his ancestor, old Vlad, with an expression as if he didn't understand and tried to figure out how to do what he was saying.
The elements were simply marvellous things that were created with the basics of aura and magic. In other words, it was not possible to unleash them by using aura and magic sparingly. Even James himself knew that it wouldn't work like that, and he didn't even have complete control or knowledge of magic or aura.
"Umm...Okay, but how do I do this?" James suddenly asked and Vlad, hearing this, said "Close your eyes, feel your aura and the mana in the magic rings around your heart. See the elements in them, take out the one that wants to live the most, for you, it will be the fire that represents life." Vlad said and continued his speech without stopping:
"All those things that you feel will show you that thin, tiny and delicate side of the element, the core, and as soon as you see that core you will grasp the core with every thought of your mind, you will want to absorb it and borrow it.
That kernel will allow you to build upon your intimacy with the element, something that grows stronger every day, something that grows stronger every day, and you will use it and you will draw out the element, and then you will be qualified to use this sword style."
At Vlad's words, James looked at the old ancestor with great surprise and amazement, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do, and even if he had learnt what to do, he couldn't think how to do it.
Amid all these thoughts, James sat down on the floor and then thought that he had nothing to do with his sword at the moment, after all, he did not think that he could do it in a standing position ready to attack.
He closed his eyes and then began to meditate. He was inside his own body, standing in front of his heart and seeing the magic rings around it.
He could see the different coloured aura of the veins to which his heart was connected, the bright light that burned every time his heartbeat dazzled his eyes, he could not help being amazed by the beauty of the human body, it was indeed a perfect sight.
Still, he wasn't sure how to get to what he needed to do.
He was breathing steadily and trying to use his aura and magic at the lowest level so that he could reach the elemental core, but he was still unable to see anything.
