Chapter 174: A dangerous aura

Elite Bandit Killed!

Elite Bandit Killed!

Elite Bandit Killed!

...

The notifications of killing his enemies had repeatedly played in his vision. Eman was already used to it. Along with the notifications was the absorption of green energies into his body.

Each kill gave him 10,000 Exp.

There were also the notifications of getting Soul Points and his Soul Collection increased.

.....

He got 5,000 Soul Points and 1 Soul Collection for each kill.

Eman was quite surprised. These people gave higher Exp and Soul points. Probably because they were stronger than those enemies he killed from before.

After dispatching all the elite bandits, Eman heard cries and screams coming from the battlefield. Guided by reflex, he glanced and saw the soldiers on the disadvantage.

It was only to be expected as there were more enemies. Honestly, everything’s going well with his plan this whole time, however. Those idiots did not follow his order. He ordered them to make a quick survey of the surroundings before rushing to the central part. But instead, they went directly. They denied his order.

Therefore, they found themselves surrounded by enemies in no time.

Eman could not reset what had happened. He only had two choices, currently: to fight the enemies head-on or abandon those soldiers. If not because of the deal he made to the emperor. He would rather kill them all along with the bandits. At least with that, their sacrifices won’t be in vain. They could become his Exp and help him level up faster. Then, gain Soul Points and collect their soul to increase his soul collection.

Regardless, it was all too late to retreat. Looking ahead of him, he learned the reason for the soldiers’ disadvantage. Some strong-looking bandits suddenly joined the battle. They numbered a few, about 9 of them. However, each of them was exuding a strong magical aura.

At the moment, they are facing the captains of each division along with Kanna and the two other soldiers, who guarded Eman the whole time. Honestly, the captains were not overwhelmed by the enemies. However, their subordinates were being overwhelmed by the other bandits. Losing the support of their captains, the soldiers lost the power to cope with the enemy’s advantage in number.

Eman wanted to scope and fire them one by one, but it was already crowded. It was a hard task even for him. Also, he was skeptical about wasting his energy. In truth, at first, he was a little puzzled regarding his soul energies. Why were there two colors? The red on his right hand and the orange on his left. He suspected that it was the soul energy and nature energy.

But he also noticed that every person had different colors of energy in them and he was composed of two different people. The body of Eman and the soul of Yeman. So it must be the soul energy of Yeman and nature energy of Eman.

Since the system would never explain something that was not his priority, he could only speculate. But he must learn the truth regarding it. He must understand his power.

He remembered he obtained the Finger Bullet Skill and Stun Finger Skill first before learning the Soul Energy.

That time, he could cast both skills even without the help of soul energy. So he was a little puzzled regarding the soul energy and the energy he used to cast the two spells.

Based on his understanding, the energy he used to cast the spells was the energy known as magical energy, the same with the people in this world. He had two conjectures regarding the reason that there was no total amount of magical energy in his Status Screen: first, was because the system was only installed to his soul (Yeman) and not to the body (Eman). Second, the magical energy didn’t have a fixed amount so the system was incapable of measuring it. It also meant that magical energy was very magical and mysterious.

Right now, his only concern was the function of each energy. The energy he used to cast the skills must be magical. He could cast his skills as much as he wanted but he could not monitor his magical energy. He remembered getting a little exhausted when he fired relentless Finger Bullet Skills to the ratmen. It must be the cue that his magical energy was about to reach the threshold.

Perhaps if he continued firing that time, he might suffer the disease known as Mana Exhaustion in fantasy novels, movies or anime, and even in a game.

Soul energy, on the other hand, functions differently than magical energy. It could be the magical energy insulator or skill enforcer. It could guide the magical energy and raised the power of skill or modified it to form new skills. He wasn’t certain about it, but his instinct was telling him that it was the case.

Right, soul energy was like an invisible extension of his limbs.

Regardless, as long as he wasn’t certain about his magical energy, he could not blindly fire skills to every opponent. He needed to be mindful of what he could and could not do. It would be bad if he suddenly felt exhausted. Though, he believed that it would never happen so soon. Maybe he was just anxious after knowing that he could not check the value of his magical energy. He was so used to the system that he was being so dependent on it. No, he needed to get rid of this habit. He needed to learn how to control or be aware of his magical energy and the rest without the help of the system’s numerical value. In a fight, it is very convenient to have a full awareness of yourself.

That’s why he chose not to use his skill. As long as he wasn’t certain regarding the magical energy, he would only use the skills in a situation that calls it. Also, he felt something. A dangerous aura was around. His instinct was telling him that he had to be careful.

Regardless, he needed to help those soldiers. It would be bad if they were all going to die.

Eman leaped high from the roof and ran towards the chaotic battlefield. He smacked the bandit who was about to stab the soldier from behind.

The bandit crashed on the ground with a puzzled face.

“C-Commander?” Uttered the surprised soldier.

“Don’t lose your focus!” After saying it, he slashed the other bandit in front of the soldier.

Ssshing!

“GWAAAAh!”

The bandit was sliced in half. Blood of the bandit sprayed on the soldier’s face and body.

“O-okay, sir!” Replied the soldier. “YAAAHH!” He strengthened the hold on his weapon and rushed towards the other soldier. If not because of the commander he would surely die just now. No matter what happened in this battle, he would kill these bandits as many as he could.

Eman did not stop and went directly towards his next target.
