CHAPTER 520: A GLIMPSE

But what kind of a Will it is? How did it be able to supply humans with almost ungodly power?

Aeryon himself is not educated in this matter and he could only grope around blindly. He had to try.

Trying the method of trial and error

But he knows that if he activated this skill, it adds a kind of pressure from Ayera.

What he did not expect however that when he activated this skill, he could feel something else coming off from Ayera

A kind of sharpness that seems to even tingle his skin. He felt like there is a sword pointing at him

It is a very peculiar feeling and he did not know how to explain it.

But if he have to explain it, it is like two will is facing each other.

And that sword is slicing this Commanding Aura that he is using. If not for his method of making sure his face expression is unreadable, he would have O face right now

Ayera really exceeded his expectation

This made him more eager to defeat her

When he defeated her, he would ask her, from where did she learns all of this stuff? Who taught her all of this new method

This world is like his world.

But it is also unlike his world. Because in this world, there is magics.

There is Old Gods.

Giants and monsters

And while some of it no longer existed, these monsters, giants and old gods is recorded and there is proof of their existence. In the world he came from, it is more like a folk tale.

Some are misunderstandings.

Some are fake and some are just speculation

Whether they really existed or not is hard to prove.

But in this world, all of these miraculous creatures, all of these miraculous things are not some folk tale, not some misunderstanding, or fake or speculations

They existed and their trace still remains.

Because the age of gods has not passed that long that people forgotten them and all of their deeds, the heroes and the villains, the gods and the monsters are recorded heavily

A world of magic, possibility, miracles. That is what this world seems to him.

And Ayera seems to have stepped into that world.

But how did she enter such world? Aeryon is not angry that she learned all of these method. He is worried that the one teaching her have ulterior motives.

Maybe, it is even one of his enemies, nurturing her so that she could stab him. If that is the case, then he would have to purge some people

Aeryon did not like this act of using a borrowed knife.

So, he would defeat her and ask her everything he wanted to know.

And she would answer.

Because that is how things are done here in the Great Steppe.

They followed the strong and obey the strong. Because the weak followed the strong. Only the strong have their own belief and would rather die than bend

In the eyes of the weak, they look stupid.

But strong people knows. And this is probably why heroes always appreciate heroes. Because only heroes understand heroes.

The action of the strong that seems incomprehensible to the weak is something that makes sense in the eyes of other strong people

Those who could sacrifice their life for something other than themselves sometimes hold strength that weak people does not have.

Weak people are like grass. They are not weeds. But grass. They could be stomped on and killed and tortured

Because they did not have that strength and mettle in their hearts and minds. James did not understand this

But the original Aeryon understood it. It is not a callousness towards life. But an understanding of the human nature

Of why weak people obey and why strong people rebel. There is many more weak people than strong people.

Not because they are destined by heaven to become strong.

It is just that they think more and realizes things about themselves, the world they are in and then the times they are in

The brave forges ahead.

And sometimes they open up a new path.

Sometimes they fell.

When they open a new path, those under them would also be infected by this bravery

As for when they fell, they also fell because the weak people.

Because the weak people is more numerous than strong people, the coexistence between the strong and the weak have always been in balance. No, it actually tilts more toward the weak people.

Only those with strong heart could treat life lightly and their belief could be inherited and passed down

The only way to become strong is to think.

Think and reflect. And from that reflection, the heart and mind is rejuvenated and they would understand what true strength is.

Ayera did not have that. She believes in her body and strength and that is the only thing she believes in

The physical things

But that is not the only thing there is about strength. But Aeryon is not here to school her on how to be strong

Now, he is only about school her why he is the strong.

All the active skill that could be activated is already activated

And a quest also has popped out.

Aeryon did not have time to read the rewards and failure condition of this quest that suddenly popped out all of a sudden

Imagine how bothersome it is to gain a quest at a moment when the battle is commencing.

But he did glance it and the quest description is simple

Defeat Ayera.

Of course, Aeryon accepted the quest in an instant. As for what rewards he would get, he would check later.

He is still confident that he could win.

However, unlike before, he is not confident that he could win without getting injured.

"She has something up her sleeve" Aeryon thought to himself

Ayera has improved too much.

Aeryon himself might not learn internal energy but he relies on his strength

His unnatural almost supernatural strength.

The strength of twenty-two men.

This kind of strength allowed him to run amuck even in a battlefield fought between thousands of people

But even he has his limits. For example, when he is fighting Belarion.

Belarion as he is more and more adept at fighting, his innate strength began showing the reason why it is envied all over the world

His reaction speed, his strength, his reflexes, all of them are ungodly.

When they do spar together, Belarion usually restrain many of his abilities and gives himself handicap to make the battle not so one sided

And Belarion is still improving.

The more battle he is in and the more fights he experienced the more terrifying he become.

It is no wonder, why most people born with innate strength is said to be born to become a great general.

Because one they stepped their foot in the battlefield, they would experience battle lust and if they do not improve they would decline.

There is no turning back. That is what Aeryon had learned from many people he had consulted.

Once an innate strength person stop fighting and advancing, they would decline. In a way, it is a curse as it is a blessing.

Once they stepped their foot in battle, they could never stop until they die.

And each of them always wanted to fight the peak. Either they win and overcome the obstacle, or they are defeated and die

Before Belarion set his foot in the battlefield, there is nothing to talk about.

But once Belarion fights in the battlefield and began winning and began improving, there is no turning back for him

He must keep fighting.

But that is Belarion story.

As for his story, he learns that he is far from being the strongest person in the world

That humbles him.

But it did not discourage him.

Instead, he chase the back of his sworn brother.

It is good that he and his sworn brother have a relationship that is truly sincere with each other.

The only pity about Belarion was that while he excels in all combats related affairs, governance, long term strategy is not really his forte.

Maybe because of that he could walk further than Aeryon in terms of the path of great warriors

Aeryon is still so far away from Belarion. And because of that he never slacked off in his training

Aeryon has always been training in the morning.

Sometimes, he would focus on Archery to train his Piercing Arrow skills.

Even though the skill could easily be upgraded using skill points, he notices that when he practices the skill, he could also feel improvement.

And there is something else that he felt when he practise it by himself instead of letting the system practise it for him

Like he was touching upon something illusory and mystical. It is a feeling that he glimpsed when the system increase his comprehension

But a glimpse is different from grasping it.

When he practise certain method by himself without the system, he found out that instead of only feeling a faint trace of this mystical feeling, he almost felt like he could grasp it.

The only frustrating thing is that it always escape his grasp, like smoke, like the wind
