Chapter 27 - Chapter 4: Awakening #2 (2/2)

&

Among the lycanthropes, the proportion of warriors was overwhelmingly high.

The reason was due to the hand techniques of the lycanthropes.

The lycanthropes’ hand techniques alone were powerful weapons. If they had a natural weapon in the form of their hands, there was no need for weapons.

In addition to that, there was another decisive reason.

‘Apart from hand techniques, their sizes can change.’

It was the same for Caitlin’s aide, Seira.

Her height was quite tall at 170cm, but it was nothing compared to when she was transformed. In that state, her height was close to two metres and her hands and feet were almost twice as big as when she was human.

There weren’t many changes to Seira aside from becoming oversized. However, there were some who could grow to at least three metres tall.

Therefore, in order to use a weapon, the lycanthropes would have to carry both human and lycanthrope form weapons at the same time. This was inconvenient and inefficient. Moreover, the weapons for the lycanthrope form were too large and heavy for their human forms to carry.

Anyway, this was the reason why there were so many warriors among the lycanthropes and most of them learnt the same thing.

Beast Authority.

A martial art that was the symbol of the lycanthropes.

”It should be obvious but there are quite a few factions among the Beast Authority technique. Shutra should pick the one most suited to you.”

As usual, Caitlin was wearing leather armour and she explained it step by step.

There were two reasons why Caitlin chose to teach him Beast Authority first.

One, Caitlin and Chris had originally learn Beast Authority first.

The 4th Queen Elaine Moonlight was a werewolf, so those with her blood naturally learned the werewolf faction of Beast Authority.

Two, Beast Authority was used as a base for Divine Beast Authority.

The royal family of the lycanthropes were primarily composed of werewolves. If he wanted to learn Divine Beast Authority, it was natural to learn Beast Authority first.

In-gong knew the situation and nodded. Caitlin continued,

”Beast Authority uses both External Force Aura and Internal Strength Aura. Today, I will teach you basic aura management using Internal Strength Aura.”

Beast Authority wasn’t simply something that used the toughness of the body. Through the unique aura management method, the performance of the physical body and the destructive power of the technique would be enhanced.

'Is this like a martial art in a novel?’

Thinking about it, he felt It was pretty similar. It was possible to think of aura management as a type of technique.

“Does Felicia unni want to learn? Unni can learn it as well.”

Caitlin suddenly asked Felicia who was sitting in a corner. Both In-gong and Felicia were confused by her question.

“Huh? Ah... No, I’m fine. I’ll just watch.”

Felicia laughed awkwardly and waved her hands. It was definitely softer than the way she treated Chris.

‘It is ironic.’

Basically, the children of the Demon King weren’t nice to each other unless they were from the same family or in the same faction. He also didn’t know the reason why Chris and Felicia were growling at each other.

However, Caitlin wanted to get along with her half-siblings. That sentiment was especially true in regards to In-gong.

'By the way, Caitlin isn’t a child of the Demon King.’

Did Caitlin truly not know that she wasn’t the child of the Demon King?

“Now, Shutra, follow the way I induce my aura.”

Caitlin approached while he was thinking. In-gong locked hands with Caitlin and nodded. Caitlin said again,

”Close your eyes and find your aura. I’ll start.”

Caitlin’s blue aura started to guide In-gong’ white aura.

Aura.

Life force - it was close to the power of the soul and it became the power of the soul once it reached the limit.

[Passive Skill - Protagonist Body Lv1 has been learnt.]

‘Huh?’

In-gong naturally flinched while moving his aura.

‘W-what?’

Protagonist Body.

In-gong opened his eyes and hurriedly activated the skills window.

Author's Note:

Comment 1) I received a question... Shutra’s name comes from Dhrutharashṭa (One of the four Guardian Kings in Buddhism. Leader of the gandharva).

See you tomorrow.

Today is a happy day :D
