Chapter 132: Chapter 132
Sunday, the 25th, I will release all 5 chapters, my Christmas "present"!
===
[Warning! Dungeon has reached Level 300!]
Juri meditating was surprised by the sudden message, the System never reacted like this before, so she asked. - "What does this influence me?"
[By the System's calculations: Not at all!]
"Then don't bother me!" - Juri snorted, the System made a note, but said nothing more.
...
Juri continued deepening his studies, until something interesting happened in that time, his [Magic Force] broke the limits and became [Aura]!
[Aura, Lv.1]
Type: Active
Description: The power that symbolizes authority and Status in the Dungeon World for the Magic Warriors, evolution of [Magic Force], a small fraction of what power is!
Amplifier Effect: +50+0.5% Strength, Agility and Constitution & +30+0.3% Senses!
Coverage Effect: +100+1% Stamina & +10+0.1% Physical and Magical Damage caused by Aura wrapped items!
Protective Effect: Once the Aura is Activated, it wraps the bearer's body in a thin protective layer of 1.010 Points!
Cost: 1 Mana p/second!
With that done, Juri gave his time to consuming the dozens of [Aura Manuals] he possessed, including the [White Knights Manual].
[Multiple advanced Aura practice methods consumed, beginning assimilation!]
[Choose the main method!]
Juri thought for a while before choosing the [White Knights Manual], among all the ones he possessed, it is the one with the highest quality and effects, not to mention it has the [White Stars].
There are other methods that have things similar to the [White Stars], but they are not very efficient.
The one that Juri came closest to liking, was the [Blood Orbs], Juri got it by trading with Skayler, that damn Tiefling has many treasures in his possession.
The [Blood Burning Manual] is a method used by Berserkers, where they generate [Blood Orbs], small crystals that expose themselves on their back or chest.
You can have up to 10 of them, just by having them, the individual activating his Aura gains a huge boost, and in times of need, you can sacrifice one of the [Blood Orbs], to recover wounds and vigor.
Of course, sacrificing one of them will result in a significant decrease in strength, but it's better than dying!
Not to mention that it's not permanent, nor will you need to go through the whole boring and time-consuming process of retiring a [Blood Orb].
With time and energy, you can recover the sacrificed [Blood Orb], returning it to its peak state.
Practically a technique that allows one to keep fighting tirelessly!
Juri thought it was very good, but she still preferred the [White Stars].
The reason is simple, it will give her a huge boost in her Mana, which will greatly help her fight long battles.
Not to mention that there are techniques that she possesses, but hasn't practiced yet, that turns large amounts of Mana into stamina!
In other words, she will wildly increase her Mana reserves, so if she needs to, she will sacrifice it to regain her vigor and even life!
Juri still has to decide which method to use, since she is still studying and looking for better ones.
But when she's done preparing everything, she will have an efficient method to convert Mana into HP and Stamina!
[The "White Knights Manual" has been chosen as the main method!]
[Complete assimilation, please name the new method of practicing Aura!]
"System, can you give me an update on its functions and advantages?" - Juri asked calmly.
[Understood!]
[With the "White Knights Manual" as the basis, many of the incorporated techniques have been modified or deleted, so one will find new sets and movements considered "more refined" when accessing the information mentally!]
[The primary ability "White Stars" has been hugely modified and becoming something called "Life Core", strengthening the increase in Attributes and percentage of MP and HP!]
[The secondary ability "Revitalization" was generated, allowing to extract 1 time every 24 hours from the same "Life Core", a significant amount of vitality and stored power, recovering 50% of HP, as well as 10% of MP!]
[Due to the assimilation and improvement of various concepts and synergies, as well as already having possession of the "Basic Power Manual", several elements have been incorporated into the method, resulting in it not having a fixed element.
Respectively the player can incorporate whatever element she wishes as long as she practices it properly!]
[The concepts of "Elemental Magic" and "Elemental Manipulation" were incorporated to further enhance the circulation of Mana through the body, which assimilated with her Aura, resulting in the "Life Core"!]
[Due to the possession of a "Life Core", it will replace the need for a "Mana Core", only partially, as one can have several "Life Cores", but only 1 "Mana Core"! More data needs to be gathered for more information, so the System supports the player to form her "Life Core" as soon as possible!]
Juri was speechless, really a lot and it seems like there's even more to it, so she listened for a long time until she finally decided what to name it.
[Aura's method was named: Sovereign of Vitality Manual!]
[The "Basic Power Manual" Skill was incorporated into the "Vitality Sovereign's Manual"!]
[Vitality Sovereign's Handbook, Lv.1]
Type: Passive
Description: Officially the most powerful and efficient Aura Method in existence, not limited to any element and can control all at higher levels, as it incorporates the best means of using the body, but also abundant knowledge and rules of using Magic without the need for Runes!
Every 20 Levels it will form a "Life Core"!
Effect 1: There are 177 Knight Techniques incorporated into this manual, you have access to all of them, practice if you wish!
Effect 2: +200+3% HP and MP Recovery Speed!
Effect 3: +200+3% Mana/Aura Circulation Speed!
Effect 4: +100%(Fixed) Aura Item Coverage Strengthening effect!
Juri saw that she didn't lose any Attribute Points, but that doesn't matter much, since due to formally awakening her [Aura], she gained a lot!
Due to her already extremely high base, as well as tons of Mana, this all culminated to her strengthening.
Of course, due to the existence of [Chi], this all backfired and her body began to destroy itself!
This scared Juri, lucky that she hid in one of his Dungeons before this.
And there she suffered, being healed by her [Player Body], preventing her from actually dying or suffering severe damage.
Juri had to spend hours calming the Aura being born and molding itself inside her body.
Her luck to have the System and [Player Body] is phenomenal, otherwise she would have died already!
As for how Luria survived awakening her Aura, even though she possesses the [Chi]?
The answer is simple, she is very talented, lucky and determined!
Juri was very relaxed, not to mention that she is forming her Aura and strengthening it with a very advanced method, the best in the world!
Luria was using a perfect method for her Race, along with the fact that she is an [Ice Elf], all of this culminated in her imminent success.
As for Juri, she is too relaxed, thinking nothing would happen, now she stood there, hours suffering while the energies inside her body assimilated and stabilized.
Even if she didn't want to form a [Life Core], she has no such choice, it was forming, the main reason for her suffering.
And since the [Life Core] has similarities to the [Mana Core], the result was even more pain from her not reaching the standards.
In other words, her [Mana Field] was perforce being enhanced and condensed, the Mana within her body serving as nourishment for it.
Lucky that her Chi emerged to nourish her body and stabilize it, even if it is also fighting with her Aura.
But when finally the whole process was finished, Juri received the following messages:
[You have acquired the "Life Core" Skill!]
[The "Mana Field" Skill has been deleted!]
[The Skill "Magical Awareness" has been modified!]
[Major changes have occurred in her Attributes!]
Juri exhausted and covered in sweat, gasped and shivered, looking at the messages with a certain anger.
So first she decided to look at her new Skill!
[Life Core, Low Level]
Type: Special
Description: The "Life Cores" are the source of her power and vitality, a solidified mass of Mana and Vitality, which can be consumed its excess energy to regenerate 50% HP and 10% MP!
Low Level Effect: +300 Strength, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence and Wisdom & +50% Mana(MP) & +100% Health(HP) & +100% Mana/Aura Circulation!
Juri then looked at the modification to the Skill [Magical Awareness]!
[Magical Awareness, Lv.-]
Description: Your understanding of Magic has risen to impressive heights, new discoveries, bringing qualitative changes to your Mind, Spirit and Health!
Effect 1: Ability to convert 1 HP into 2 MP!
Effect 2: +200% Mana Capacity of [Life Cores]!
That was interesting, Juri then looked at her [Status], curious about the changes, only to be shocked at what she's seeing.
Name: Juri Han(21) | Title: Player
Species: High Human | Gender: Female/Hermaphrodite
Class: Civilian | Job: None
Level: 220(0%) | Paranormal Exposure: 203(0%)
HP: 335.016(+20%) | MP: 222.446 (+333.669)

Strength 1.800+232 = 2.032(+300)(+35%) = 3.148
Agility 1.600+219 = 1.819(+300)
Stamina 2.000+240 = 2.240(+300)
Intelligence 2.500+164 = 2.664(+300)
Wisdom 3.000+251 = 3.251(+300)(+20%) = 4.261
Luck 980+80 = 1.060
Sanity 500/500
Points: 0
Credits(C$): +200 Million
His attributes were rounded, Juri asked the System the meaning of this, which only replied.
[The System does not have an exact answer for this, it is estimated that the excess energy burst several "Potential Bubbles", which balanced the Physical and Mental Attributes!]
Juri didn't quite understand, but she was liking what she sees.
She now has 556,115 Mana, even if it doesn't match the tens of millions that some certain monsters have, she still has plenty!
And the best part, by activating her [Chi], she gets a 426.1% boost to her physical Attributes, which leaves her with a whopping: 16,561 Strength, 11,148 Agility, and 13,362 Constitution!
Juri was very happy with her strength increase, but now, she is too exhausted, she will leave to take care of all this later... now she wants to sleep!
