"The first of the three parts of my father Desmond\'s sword art is the slashing, which you have already learnt, but the style of this part, of course, does not consist of a single style. My father called them [dances]. The first art and the second part, the Piercing, is made up of two styles, two movements, just two of them."

"The first movement is known as the finisher, which you can learn the basics of and put into practice in a small way, and the second movement is known as the wounding, which is much easier to use but much more difficult to professionalize."

"Wounding?" James asked, listening to Vlad while trying to learn the styles of course.

"Exactly. The finisher allows you to attack by releasing all the aura you\'ve gathered by spinning it into your sword or any weapon, but wounding is not like that. Again, you spin your aura to gather it and transfer it to your sword, but you don\'t release the energy in a single strike.

What you need to do is release the energy bit by bit in successive slashing attacks and keep the enemy as far away from you as possible, or kill them if you\'re lucky,\' Vlad said.

"So you are saying that what I need to do is to keep the aura I have gathered in my sword Clarent for as long as possible and release the aura gathered in a small way in my serial stabbing movements?" James asked.

When he saw Vlad\'s confirmation, he moved back to the ready position and then, taking a deep breath, he swirled his aura and transferred it to his sword, then he quickly pierced the air and pulled it back, trying to do this repeatedly.

After doing this only twice, he realised that all the aura in the sword had dissipated and the aura swirling around his body had disappeared.

Curiously looking at Vlad, he wondered what was going on.

He didn\'t want to give up and wanted to try to understand what was going on before he asked Vlad questions, so he did it again, but this time the aura disappeared as he made the second piercing motion.

He had no idea what was going on, wasn\'t this style supposed to be easier than the first one?

"Do you know why you failed?" Vlad asked, and as James shook his head from side to side to indicate no, he exhaled deeply and began to speak.

"You can spin your aura well, you\'ve picked up what you\'ve been taught quickly. You can inject your aura into the sword well, and that\'s good, but you can\'t release the aura from the sword properly. The aura should be in such a tense state that when you release it, the effect should last.

Why do you think only a small fraction of aura users can do that?" Vlad continued when he noticed James\' curious and uncomprehending eyes.

"Look, James. The reason why you need to rotate your aura is not only to keep it from escaping out of the body but also to turn your aura into a tense state so that your attack can go beyond the concept of aura and act just like a spell, which is what you did in the first style. Doing it 6 times in a row corresponds to this, each time you release some of your stored aura with all its tension."

As Vlad finished speaking James put his free hand to his chin and then squinted his eyes at Clarent as if deep in thought, after a short time he said:

"So what you\'re saying is that I\'m not stretching the aura enough?"

Hearing James\' question, Vlad nodded his head and then said, "Exactly." After a short time, he went to James\' side and put himself in the same attack position as James and then a sword formed in his hand.

James assumed that since his ancestor wasn\'t alive, he couldn\'t make a live demonstration, at least that\'s what Vlad had said.

"How come you?" James said questioningly, obviously surprised, how could he not be?

"Come on James, I tried to teach you by pressurising you and it worked, of course, I can make my soul seem alive in a way, I just can\'t affect reality," Vlad said with a mocking expression.

James had indeed chosen not to say anything out of respect, but looking into his eyes Vlad could see the disappointment in the eyes of the young boy looking back at him.

With that, Vlad stopped where he was and then said, "Watch carefully."

Then something that emitted no sensation at all made Vlad\'s soul glow, and after a short time, in just half a second, six piercing movements were performed by Vlad.

A gigantic glow immediately travelled to the throne of the hall and passed through it.

James and everyone else watching everything through his eyes seemed to be quite surprised. In a world where there were no real monsters, it was quite intriguing that a man who could evolve so gigantically could exist.

He was Vlad Desmond\'s son, though, so the man who was scarier than the gods should have been able to train him well enough.

"Did you see? Did you notice how I did the attack, how much aura I used each time?" Vlad suddenly asked, the words alone were enough to stun everyone.

How could James himself have seen this? Well, James was indeed a fast man, but not as fast as his ancestor, such as the monster in front of him.

There was no way that was even remotely possible at his current level.

"Of course I didn\'t see it!" James suddenly shouted, seemingly unable to stand it, he couldn\'t imagine seeing such an attack.
