Uriel wasn't fazed by Ariel's power. If anything, he found it curious.
'Hm. He has an aura core. That's a first.'
As he remembered, Aura was the Protos Path Energy of Martial Arts, just as Mana was to Magic.
Uriel had learned of it during Project Magia, but hadn't had the time or opportunity to forge these cores for himself. In fact, it was the first time he'd seen anyone wield one of these energies.
It was fascinating.
Ariel's aura seemed alive, dancing in seas of silver and amethyst, twisting into roaring dragons, collapsing into soaring phoenixes, oscillating endlessly between the two, almost flowing like the eternal cycle of life and death.
The amount of spiritual laws contained within it seemed truly endless, twisting and rewriting the fabric around them in its image and empowering Ariel to maddening degrees.
He'd moved so fast Uriel had barely managed to sense him.
'Fascinating.'
Uriel shook his head, then extended a hand and placed it on Ariel's shoulder.
