Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System!

Leaving the celestial stone behind, Roy returned to Damien's side, where he made note of several facts about Force in his mind.

'I now know that Force is created when a person solidifies their aura so much that it becomes permanently corporal.'

'I now also know that if a person's aura has no color, unlike myself, but like Damien, then the force they make out of it would also be invisible to the naked eye.'

'Thanks to Damien, I have realized that there are different types of Force, ranging from Fist and Sword Force to Shield Force.'

'For example, the Celestial Stone deflected my all-out attack as easily as an adult stealing candy from an unguarded child's hand using the power of Shield Force.'

'Shield Force can be described as using Force to create an invisible layer with incredible defensive capability around oneself.'

Moving onwards, Fist Force can be described as a crushing power weighting at least several dozen if not several hundred tons and Sword Force can be described as a fast-moving wind that is as sharp if not sharper than runic melee weapons and can cut through spiritual bamboo trees and metal like a hot knife passing through butter.'

'When Damien demonstrated two different types of Force to me, I felt enormous amounts of energy fluctuations.'

Roy came to a sudden realization.

'It means people with a sixth sense like me can sense force. But we aren't fast enough to react to it properly, so it is reasonable to say, Arlo, Arthur, Damien, Badulf, and all the aura Grandmasters I have met so far can crush me like an ant using Force.'

'Thank God I didn't offend them.' Roy praised himself for not pissing them off. That day, if he hadn't spared Noah, Badulf would have instantly plummeted him to death using Fist Force or something similar.

'If the horned serpent had learned Force and used it to suppress me instead of using an enormous amount of its unique mana to suppress me, I would have been done for.'

Roy promised himself to not recklessly engage in a fight with a Force user.

The last thing he comprehended, with the help of Damien, his eldest cousin, was that Aura Grandmasters have the ability to imbue their Aura and Force with the special traits of their class weapons. 

Damien destroyed the mountain and cut hundreds of trees using Fist Force and Sword Force, respectively, both of which were imbued with the special effects of his class weapons, which was to restore whatever he cut, be it a living thing or not, a dead corpse or a construct, to its original shape.

That's why he was able to restore them to their original shape by just snapping his fingers like an overpowered protagonist of a top-selling fantasy or sci-fi novel. 

Actually, he had to pay an appropriate price, but since he so recklessly used it, Roy believed it wasn't much.

"What price did you pay?"

Roy curiously looked at Damien.

"An enormous amount of aura."

Damien replied to Roy, saying all that in a single breath and in a cold voice.

"Do you understand what Force is?" Damien asked after a moment.

Roy nodded.

"I got the gist of it, but now I am even more confused."

Roy sighed. Force wasn't complex. He understood it completely. But that also meant that he realized he had no chance of dabbling in it until he reached the Aura Master Stage. 

"How so?"

Damien asked as he looked at Roy and found him funny.

Roy had a complex expression on his face. He looked like someone who had shit forced down their throat.

"Force is something only aura masters with open aura meridians can learn. No matter how I think about it, it seems impossible for someone like me to learn this Fists Force and that Sword Force, as I am not an aura master. Forget about opening aura meridians which makes it possible to use Force; I don't even have them!"

Aura meridians are gained when a person ascends to the aura master level, and when one of them is opened, an aura master can start dabbling in Force if he is talented.

Roy, who hadn't even awakened, didn't have any aura meridians to open.

Thus, he felt as if Damien demonstrated Force to make him not only realize that he was the frog in the well who didn't know how big the world was but to also show him how cool he himself and Victor were compared to him.

You have developed a slight inferiority complex because of Damien.

The system's notification rang in his ears.

Roy puked out imaginary blood.

'I completely understand why Julian actively evaded him. He really makes one feel inferior by just being in front of them.' Roy sympathized with Julian as a bitter taste filled his mouth.

He heard Damien saying.

"That's where you are wrong and also right," 

"Huh?" Roy raised his eyebrow at him.

"True, you can't learn it. But you can half-ass it."

Damien smiled. 

Roy could swear that he saw flowers blooming. Maybe it was his imagination.

"Half-ass it? How do I do that?" 

Roy questioned Damien.

Damien glanced at him.

"Aura Masters can instantly release an enormous amount of aura from their bodies because they have aura Meridians engraved on their skin. Aura can be directly stored in them and released from there. Do you understand what that means?" He asked Roy.

Roy answered him like a good student, "Yes, the aura in the inner worlds needs to be injected into blood vessels if you want to emit it out of the body, but that's not the case for aura masters with opened aura Meridians, right?" 

"That's correct." Damien gave him a nod. He would have felt irritated if Roy had failed to understand something as simple as that. 'Thankfully, he has a good head on his shoulders.' Damien thought.

"The inner world exists inside the body, while the Aura Meridians exist outside it, carved on their skins," Damien said to Roy after a moment.
