My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 519 - Fourth Fight: Stein & Bernard VS Cathyl & Vheslia 6



-----

Stein's power was specular. The amazing strength he had been born with was strengthened by a thousandfold as he grew into a powerful adult, and then went through the hardships and suffering of becoming a zombie, only to resurge as a vampiric Undead… a ghoul!

However, he was no mere Ghoul, as his power was comparable if not even higher than most of the Vampires present here. In fact… he could possibly be stronger than Julia herself, the strongest Vampire if physically speaking…!

Even Clementine might only be slightly above him… although her true powers were a mystery to most of the people in the Vampire Clan, as she had barely revealed her complete power in its totality.

But this wasn't about Clementine, it was about Stein, this man's strength was simply at another level completely! It was as if he were a titan itself.

Cathyl recovered her wounds as her entire body was enhanced greatly by her magic, spells enhanced her vitality as she looked at the muscular zombie in front of her with a defiant smile. Her aura of winds flashed wildly as it began to enhance her physical capabilities.

There was something within Cathyl's entire build that made her a rather unique fighter, despite looking like a blockhead that only fights physically… she was a fighter that had the element of Wind.

Wind, an element that specialized in speed and swift movements, there was not many tanks nor powerful physical fighters such as her that possessed it. usually those born with the affinity for wind were swift fighters, often being more like hunters, using light weapons and swift movements, dexterous techniques, and sharp senses.

However, Cathyl was a complete physical fighter, and even more, a tank, in these regards, an element such as Earth would be way more useful, or even fire… but wind? Wind would seem like a detriment to her growth as a fighter as she was conflicted over the specialization that Wind brought to her. However, she had somehow mastered it anyways and had added it to her physical fighter and tank playstyle, her build as a tank received an interesting twist as Cathyl used the capabilities of her Wind Divinity to make of her movements incredibly fast yet they still carried the incredible weight of her axe and the strength of her amazing Minotaur muscles.

Cathyl immediately recognized Stein as a formidable fighter. He seemed to not specialize in any element at all, he didn't even used darkness nor blood, the staple elements that Vampires wielded the most, he simply used a power, Aura. he had developed Aura naturally to the point it was like a natural energy that flowed across his body.

Even when Stein ended becoming an undead, he had lost the ability to utilize Aura, and his strength had decreased greatly… but when he fought the Paladins and almost died and then was rescued by Clementine, he was given the power to become a special type of higher clade of Undead, a Ghoul. Through becoming a Ghoul, the ability to wield the Aura he once had come back, and even more enhanced.

His power was pure and simply put, strength. This was his superpower, the ability he was born with innately, and this [Strength] emerged as a powerful [Aura] an [Aura of Strength].

Like a titan whose size, muscles, and power alone were enough to become a threat even to the most prepared and knowledgably of fighters, Stein was the same against Cathyl.

Both would seem "similar" to the simple spectator, but they were very different fighters. Cathyl wasn't naturally gifted, and had to crawl her way up into the strength she possessed, even going through the hardships of adapting her wind divinity into something that could be used usefully with her current build…

Although she had the body and race of a Minotaur, it was through a lot of training and even the help of Frank that she managed to breakthrough her sickly mana core and awakened it into a Wind Attribute one through the power of the Skill Book of Gust, defining her main element as Wind! Although back then, Frank could had taken another attribute and this could had changed Cathyl's power and balance her build, this never emerged in her mind. She was always eternally grateful with her husband for giving her the opportunity to grow stronger and develop the magic she never could when she was younger.

Meanwhile unlike Cathyl, Stein developed his power naturally, he simply had to fight a lot and he grew stronger, his latent strength was like that of a titan, it simply developed naturally on him, as naturally as breathing, or eating, it was like growing, even! His body became that of a hulk, and his aura developed greatly, although he lost such power as an undead, it came back as he became a Ghoul… the reason behind this was later revealed to him after Hanna investigated the cause, and it was because as a stitched zombie, the pressure points that released the power and energy of Aura were lost, but as a ghoul, they recovered because ghouls were a race more related to demons, and therefore, they were more complete as a pseudo living organisms than undead…

Knowing this truth from the words of his wife, Stein realized he had to use this opportunity to grow as strong as possible! He employed the powers he had and trained arduously, every single day, fighting constantly, until his Aura came back to its fullest, and it developed even more… and more! It developed so much it even surprised him!

But now that he had adapted to his power, he was employing it masterfully to the point he had threw Cathyl, a powerful tank, flying through the skies with a single and simple-named technique such as Aura Fist!

Cathyl looked at Stein as she stood up, her axe raising above her head as her winds encompassed it and also her entire body, like a flash of wind, she quickly moved towards Stein, confronting him once more!

"This woman… she's strong!" thought Stein.

CLASH!
