Aldric sat down on the ground in the lotus Buddha position and said, "Absorb." The lotus Buddha position, a famous meditation position in yoga, allowed him to focus his energy. Soon, a dark black fog enveloped Aldric and the mana core. After two hours, Aldric heard his favorite voice in his head.[Absorption Complete, new abilities gained,] said the System.

A screen popped up displaying:

[Level up Level up Level up Level up....]

Aldric was amazed by these notifications. "An D-rank core indeed," said Abyss with a satisfied utterance. "System, show me my level and new abilities," requested Aldric.

"How did I got a C-rank skills from a D-rank Naga" confused Aldric asked to the System. [Various monsters in the process of evolution develop a skill of their to a tier above then them , and then to evolve need a lot of life energy or mana] replied System. "Oh, that explains why this Naga was hunting a lot"

Just as Aldric was scrolling through this information, the system's voice once again said, [Congratulations to the user for unlocking War God Dominance. The user is advised to train in aura to use the blessing effectively.]

"Aura, what is that?" Aldric wondered what it was, so he decided to ask the system.

[Every living being possesses an innate ability called Aura. Many train their body and mind to use this ability to its fullest potential. It reflects your power, with stronger individuals possessing more powerful auras.]

"So that means I have another ability to master now. How do I practice it?" Aldric asked the system, realizing he needed guidance.

[Users need to train their killing intent, and for that purpose, the user needs a practice partner. The most efficient method will be in life and death situations,]answered the System.

Aldric pondered on finding a suitable practice partner and decided that a hound rabbit would be a good choice. He requested the System to create a cage suitable for capturing a hound rabbit. The System retrieved iron ingots from Aldric's inventory and created a normal-looking cage.

With the cage in hand, Aldric set out to find a hound rabbit. After some searching, he finally located one. Utilizing his new abilities and the skills he had gained from previous battles, Aldric easily caught the hound rabbit and placed it in the cage.

Satisfied with his catch, Aldric searched for an isolated location to begin his training. After some time, he found a suitable spot and sat on the ground, placing the hound rabbit in front of him. Determined, he focused his killing intent on the rabbit. Initially, the rabbit showed no response and simply glared at Aldric.

Hours passed by in a blur as Aldric exerted his killing intent, drenched in sweat and panting heavily. Finally, he felt a breakthrough. Suddenly, the System spoke up in his mind, advising him to recall a memory that had left him in a painful state to maximize his killing intent.

Aldric remembered the encounter with the kobold monster, a memory that had filled him with fear and pain. As he tapped into that memory, a dark red aura erupted from Aldric, overwhelming the hound rabbit. Unable to withstand the intense killing intent, the rabbit succumbed and passed away.

Overjoyed with his progress, Aldric exclaimed, "Yes, I did it!" He jumped in joy, celebrating his achievement. The System confirmed by saying [User have completed a part of his aura training and is advised to maintain the killing intent to further develop his aura.]

Excited and determined, Aldric replied, "Okay," ready to continue his training and unlock the full potential of his newfound abilities. He knew that he needed to push himself further to strengthen his aura and harness its power.
