SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 7: Flameworth Sacred Art

Van learned a few magic skills when he was studying at a magic academy. His royal uncle tried to teach Van the exclusive skill of the royal family. Van gave up because he could not endure the training.

Edgar is not Van. He will seriously learn the exclusive skill that belongs to the Royal Flameworth Family, Flameworth Sacred Art, and then bring it home to Earth.

As he moves closer to the training ground, he can hear the loud shouts of the army.

STAB!

HAAA! CLAAANG!

Edgar can hear clashes between metallic weapons.

Guards at the entrance of the training ground saluted Edgar when they saw him approaching.

"Tell Uncle Marco that I am looking for him." ordered Edgar to the guard.

"Yes, your highness." The guard dashes and looks for Marco. Marco is a member of the royal family and an uncle of Van. He was invited by the king to teach the sacred art, but Van quickly gave up after training for a very short time. He refuses to continue, so Marco is waiting on the training ground until he changes his mind.

He entered the training ground and went near the open space where the royal guards he saw were training.

The pathway is made of stone. The training ground is not a complete open space. There are trees within the wall. There are several open spaces surrounded by trees. There are smaller open spaces; the biggest space is for the army because of their large number. In an open space not too far from the training army, the royal guards are practicing their aura. All of them are clad in a red aura. Edgar feels amazed that all of them are capable of using aura. There are one hundred royal guards on the training ground. The other four hundred are patrolling and guarding the royal castle. They are divided into five groups, and they are taking turns practicing.

Edgar is quite a distance from the scene, and he did not show himself because he did not want to disturb their training. His focus on the royal guard's training is interrupted when he hears a loud laughter. He saw his uncle approaching while laughing.

"Hahaha! Did you finally change your mind?! I am bored to death while waiting. If I do not owe your father, I would have left a long time ago! I am pleased to see your change. The last time we met, you looked like shit! Hahahaha!" Marco is happy to see the posture and gaze of Van. His nephew no longer looks like a waste.

Edgar likes this uncle. Marco is straightforward. His uncle does not have the calculative traits of a royal family.

"Uncle, I'm sorry that I let you wait. I promise that I will keep my training serious!" Edgar did not boast. He will let his actions speak for themselves.

"Keep your promise, kid, because if you don't, I will make you regret it! Learn seriously! If you master Flameworth Sacred Art, you can roam the world!" said Marco.

Edgar feels more excited when he hears it, and then they move together in a smaller open space surrounded by trees.

"Flameworth Sacred Art Skills will require mastery in control of mana and aura. The lowest level of magician required is 4th circle and 3rd level in aura. Our sacred art art has a complete set of training on how to master aura and fire element. Our royal lineage has the best aptitude for aura and fire element in the kingdom. As long as you are a royal descendant and train our sacred art, even if you are a waste, you will become the best of waste!" Marco introduces the sacred art to Edgar. He has a look of pride while explaining the sacred art because their ancestors sacrificed a lot of blood and sweat to create one of the most powerful sacred arts in the world.

"Flameworth Sacred Art has four skills." Marco became serious. He distanced himself from Edgar and took a sword stance. Aura envelops his whole body and sword.

"FIRST SKILL: A very powerful slash that crushes the defense of the enemy and cuts anything in its way."

"DEATH SLASH!!"

Seven meters of a red energy blade made up of aura moves into the sky when Marco slashed his sword upward. It could have destroyed the training ground if he had not directed it to the sky.

"SECOND SKILL. Concentrated strikes that penetrate small gaps in the tough defense of the enemy." Marco is in a stabbing stance, then he takes a step forward. Marco disappeared from Edgar's vision.

"DEATH BEAM!!"

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Three red energy beams rapidly move forward, then hit the wall thirty meters away.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The three beams penetrate the wall almost at the same time. There are three holes in the wall. The wall is made up of tough material but still got penetrated thirty meters away. Marco can definitely penetrate the other side of the wall if he moves a little closer.

"THIRD SKILL. A nightmare of an enemy on the battlefield. A storm of blades that destroy the enemy's formation." Marco is in a slashing stance. The sword is parallel to the ground, and his feet are wider.

"SWORD HURRICANE!!"

WOOSH! A tornado with many aura blades appears and moves to the sky.

CRACK! A ground crack where a tree stands.

Bang! Trees with big, thick roots are unable to stop the sucking power of the tornado. Grass, trees, soil, and boulders are sucked into the tornado.

CRUNCH! CRACK! CRUNCH! They are all cut and crushed. Edgar is quite far from the tornado, but he can feel the scary sucking power. The tornado flies upward for a while, then disappears. Edgar looked at the messy training ground and smiled helplessly at the carelessness of his uncle.

"FOURTH SKILL. The most powerful skill of Flameworth Sacred Art. It is when aura and fire element must combine. Each swing is as powerful as a death slash. Each stab is as powerful as a death beam. A large swing could create a sword hurricane."

Marco looks very serious. He is in a downward slash stance. The aura that surrounds his whole body and sword is getting stronger. Threads of aura are rotating around Marco. He is accumulating energy. Airflow is getting stronger.

"KING'S SWORD!!!"

Edgar is very excited to witness the strongest skill of their family, but after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

"Hahahahaha!" Marco is loudly laughing. He was only teasing Edgar. Many of the royal family members know that only the king can inherit the last skill, and Van, as a crown prince, should know that Marco cannot wield the last skill. Edgar does not know because Van did not bother to ask.

"I was only teasing you because you do not seem to know that only the king can inherit the fourth skill. I can't help it because you look serious and excited! Hahahaha!" Marco enjoys teasing Van. He started liking the prince. He did not like the prince before because the prince was lazy and infamous for debauchery. Now, the prince looks serious and very eager to learn.

Edgar is speechless. He did not expect that Marco would tease him, but he also felt relieved. He feels closer to this royal uncle. Marco could help change the views of the elders of the royal family on Van. Getting the complete cooperation of members of the royal family could be much faster with the help of Marco.

Marco calmed down and continued his teaching.

"King's sword is the first form of the fourth skill. The requirement is 3rd level aura master and 4th circle magician. The reason why aura and fire element must combine is to reach the second form, The King's Field. In that field, you are the King. As King, you can mobilize the field to crush the enemy with powerful magic skills. Since the creation of our sacred art, only the founder successfully reached the second form. No other king was able to do it again. The founder said that fire element and aura must be combined." Marco stares at Edgar, whose eyes look yearning for that power. Then he looks up and down at Edgar. Edgar's eyes are good, but he can't erase signs of debauchery from his body in just a few hours. He is a little thin, has a few eye bags, and his cheeks are a little sunken. Marco sighs, he is sad that he might not ever witness the birth of Flameworth's King Field.

"Next, I will teach you Aura."
