First of all i wanted to thank the donors who donated so far and this will be the final mix of a donation and special chapter. at wings request the donation system has been removed from spectral regalia and im fine with that. i wrote this story because i wanted to make a world that i love and share it with people and im sure some of you thought i was monopoloising the donation system but keep in mind it all did go to supporting spectral regalia.

After Avrin had arrived with Ayame in his arms, the servants tending to their duties had freaked out, thinking he had done something wrong. This annoyed him but things settled after the vanished Shimaru had reappeared and assured them everything was ok. Ayame was then taken off his hands and sent to her room to recover and be tended to.

Shimaru gazed at Avrin who seemed somewhat lost in what to do for today.

“So Avrin, how did your first battle with an expert level opponent feel..Ayame is physically stronger and faster than you but your enigmatic ability seems to have saved you.” Shimaru spoke without bothering to compliment him.

“It was intense… I knew I couldn't beat her at her own game in speed, but I never knew her physical strength was that powerful...But the mark on her forehead, her mana condensed there. What was it?.”

Shimaru raised a brow as him and Avrin began walking to his dojo “Ho ho ho! you saw the symbol of our white dragon clan. Only us in the main branch have the ability to manifest our mana into a source of power because we are warriors in a sense. Our mana is barely used but as we train our bodies and minds that internal unused mana grows and grows.. Avrin, the white dragon symbol is a bloodline inherited enigmatic ability. It takes that unused dormant internal mana and imbues it into its host.

It is incredibly unique as magic abilities that augment its caster are quite hard and are only minor unless the caster is a sage or higher. And even then this ability is more powerful. I was scared she may have done you in. Hehe”

Shimaru grinned as the sliding door opened. Him and Avrin had started heading inside. “Interesting..An ability that augments using internal mana. Although I can't say I'm jealous of it.” Shimaru nodded “It seems you have a way to augment yourself without casting...Your enigmatic ability is mysterious. It seems to have many ways to be used.”

Avrin just smirked, not bothering to correct him or throw him a hint. “So teacher, what is it you would like me to do now?”

Shimaru nodded “Ahh yes, yes. I think it would be best if I teach you techniques to prepare your body for training. Sit down Avrin” Shimaru spoke clearly

Avrin followed and sat in a cross legged position and Shimaru did the same, but his hands were placed together, his fingers pressing against each other as the palm section was open. Shimaru began taking gentle breaths that were deep but constant and flowed well without trouble.

“Avrin” he began to speak in a tone that was quieter and more fluid. “This meditation position is called Pulsing Dragon. It uses the internal mana of your body as well as the affinity around you to help stimulate muscle development in your body. This meditation alone is dangerous if you do not train yourself correctly to have techniques that are capable of matching the body you receive.

“

Avrin listened intently. The one thing he was worried about was that he didn't have internal mana and he decided to speak. “Teacher.. What if one doesn't have mana at all inside of them but a different source of energy?”

Shimaru opened his eyes in an instant and gazed at Avrin. Shimaru himself was not stupid even though he acted care free. He knew Avrin’s question was legitimate and referred to himself. If that was the case he could only give him a template.

“Avrin, all energy in the end is the same. It empowers, it gives life, or takes it. If it was another source of energy then the person with that energy could slowly adapt this position to suit them”

Avrin nodded before Shimaru began speaking again. “I noticed you were exhausted quite quickly during your battle. Ayame herself was not exhausted, you could see she sustained more injuries than you and continued on. The only thing that stopped her was the knockout blow. This is a perfect way for you to train stamina, but do not rely on this position too much. Physical training is essential after all. New muscles that aren't put to good use are just useless clumps of weight.

Avrin smiled and nodded again. His teacher was indeed referring to what is the point in having this position stimulate muscle growth if Avrin wasn't going to train physically to help stretch those new muscles.

After that was spoken, things had gotten quiet. Avrin began to feel slightly cold and could feel that the air had gotten dry. As he looked at Shimaru, he could see a white glow eminate from him. A white aura was flaring around him, steadily pulsing out gently before retracting inside and then pulsing again and repeating. Shimaru didn't speak and Avrin only watched.

It was only 10 minutes later that Shimaru began to speak while keeping this up. “This technique, although it is useful in stimulating muscle and stamina growth, If used for a long duration on a body that isn't able to handle it will do more bad than good. I dare not tell you what might happen if you continue this for more than an hour a day with your current body. That being said, intermediate level people are able to start with 30 minutes maximum a day, but I feel you’re an exception.“

Avrin smiled as he was glad he wasn't looked down upon. He mimicked Shimaru’s position in an attempt to copy him. And while he was trying to get the feel for it shimaru spoke “Avrin, try to block out everything that is unimportant. There is only you and the flow of mana around you and inside of you. Try to will this mana into the fibres of your being.”

Avrin did so but instead of mana he used his dark matter. The internal energy was slowly seeping into the muscle fibres and began to fuse somewhat slowly, as if massaging them. The feeling was relaxing but it also felt weird. It was a unique sensation, his body throbbing all over but not in pain. As he continued, Shimaru smiled as he felt Avrin was getting the hang of it.

That was until he saw the dark matter materialising a devilish pitch black aura with purple trimmings and static that shot a few inches away from Avrin. Avrin was to encompassed in his meditation to realise this but Shimaru’s eyes had widened as he watched this. He thought to himself “-W..What a menacing aura….This isn't mana...I can't feel it even though it is right in front of me...What sort of individual is this boy…-”

The aura around Avrin began to steadily grow. As it touched the ground it began to slowly devour it, as the ash would float up as if gravity was no longer holding it, before even the ash vanished out of existence. Shimaru knew it was dangerous to continue. “Avrin enough…”

Avrin had did as Shimaru told him and tried to block everything out including Shimaru himself “Avrin…!” He yelled out to which Avrin opened his eyes quickly as it was still his first time his trance was not perfect. The aura pulsed out at the sudden feeling of Avrin awakening, spreading several feet astonishingly quick which made Shimaru gasp.

This was until the aura condensed just as fast as it spread making its way back into Avrin who wobbled a bit then pressed his right hand onto the tatami like mat and coughed slightly.

“I...a..apologise teacher...It seems I overdid it for my first time.” Shimaru stayed silent before sighing and sitting down “It’s fine Avrin...I'm more astounded at the fact that you managed to get the hang of it so quickly...But that aura of yours...I've never seen anything like it...Incredible…” He mumbled those last few words silently to not allow Avrin to get big headed, but Avrin just grinned as his ears picked it up.

“Oh dear.. I'll need to have this all repaired” Shimaru sighed before gazing at Avrin, annoyed slightly. Avrin nervously chuckled before bowing slightly as if to apologise. “Avrin, I think your pulsing dragon is too dangerous to use in this estate...You will go to the lake where you battled Ayame and continue it for 50 minutes before training your body. If you take the left path from the lake you will find the training equipment.

“Teacher you won't be guiding me?” Shimaru sighed and folded his arms “Avrin, I haven't shown myself to be a great teacher so far and that is my mistake. I need to attend to matters of our clan. It seems some humans in the central continent have discovered our existence..” He spat those last words out.

Avrin also blinked. This affected him as well. He had hoped things here would stay secretive for a bit longer but he had an aura of bad luck around him that couldn't be helped. So he stood up and bowed to Shimaru again after the conversation was over. He then made his way out while gazing again at the scorched floor as well as the small marks on the ground caused by the static.

He exited the dojo and began to make his way to the lake again until Izanami quickly came beside him and hugged his arm against her chest and it squeezed between her plump breasts.

“Sir Avrin, you are heading off to the lake to train. Won't you take me with you?..”

Avrin’s right eye secretly twitched at this succubus in human clothing attempted to seduce him. “I’m sorry Izanami“ He smiled warmly but it was quite fake. “I would like to train alone. I need to get stronger as quickly as I can.”

Izanami pouted then grinned. “Sir Avrin, I have an idea. Won't you let me keep an eye on you? I may not look it but I am an expert level individual“ She spoke in a boastful manner. Avrin then pondered this. Surely he could spar with her a bit to train his skills and take his frustration out on her for trying to seduce him so openly.

He wondered if Shimaru, his teacher, would allow it but shrugged it off as it would be positive in assisting him. “Hmm... Very well Izanami...But do not try anything…” Avrin snatched his arm aggressively from between her breasts which made her give a kya! like sound before blushing faintly and nodding.

As the two made their way to the lake, Avrin, with Izanami’s help, found the location of the training equipment. He was somewhat surprised as it was similar to what was used in his universe. It had similar gym like equipment and makeshift wooden dummies.

Avrin went over to what seemed like a meditation spot and spoke out as he entered a cross legged position. “Izanami, I ask that you do not disturb me for 50 minutes. If anyone is looking for me other than your grandfather please tell them this” Izanami sighed as she went to lay down on one of the spectator seats reserved for an instructor to observe and nodded with a mischievous smile “Very well sir Avrin, anything for my new love”

Avrin felt like vomiting from this women’s vile words. He knew she was only after him based on his looks and potential. He had no need for a women who would use him for such things. Just like in the dojo, Avrin began the pulsing dragon meditation for a second time. This time being more cautious in his trance, trying better to focus the dark matter aura that slowly began to seep out.

Izanami also caught onto this and gazed with awe as she whispered “Impressive...An energy that can't be felt. That is most definitely not darkness affinity...Is this why grandfather considered it too dangerous for him to meditate in the estate?”

She whispered quietly. Avrin did not pick up on her words due to him being in a semi trance. He did not know Izanami had been secretly spying on them, and she would have gotten caught by her grandfather had not it been for his surprise and attention focused on Avrin.

Avrin was indeed correct to assume she wanted him for his appearance and ability, she knew her grandfather had picked him to train personally. Something that had never happened, even to her own dad. His own son and a genius was not personally trained, what made this person so special. She knew he was unique and she felt her hunch was right.

The aura around Avrin which consisted of dark matter flared around like a menacing fire of void. It was a unique type of darkness. One that seemed glossy as well as sparkly. Slightly as if space was reflected upon it.

He tried to focus the energy outside, back inside, and from there, slowly into his body fibres. Of course, it was still new for him and he ended up coughing up some blood when he occasionally got the amount of force wrong and added too much. He had gotten used to augmenting his body and it helped with this.

The difference between augmentation and this was that augmentation was like an armor that covered his muscles as a whole and injected darkmatter as a sort of foam to increase strength and durability.

While the pulsing dragon would use his dark matter and carefully knead it into the fibres of his body, making it more effective. The pain was incredibly less but Avrin still was careful. To not try and over do it.

As 40 minutes had passed his aura seemed somewhat more stable and his skin seemed to give off a shine. He also felt he was able to breathe better. The pores on his body open as if they themselves were taking in the fresh air.

Izanami was laying down while gazing at Avrin, drooling from how attractive he looked and at the prospect of her being able to use him for her own gain.

After the 50 minute mark had passed, Izanami wasted no time in calling out “Sir Avrin! 50 minutes has passed!!”

Avrin who had not entered a full trance as to keep aware just a bit in case his aura went rampant again. Slowly he began to condense the outward energy completely and would bring it back inside himself before slowly opening his eyes and looking around.

He slowly stood up and stretched. His bones and muscles felt as if they had been taken out and given special treatment, like he had rested for years. He felt reborn, the feeling was similar to how he felt when he first got this body.

He raised his hands and created a void sphere. To his surprise it was at least 20% quicker and 15% larger as well. It also had a darker gloss color and purple hue. He fired it towards a nearby tree as Izanami jumped slightly at the sight, as well as fright. This being her first time seeing such an attack.

The bolt collided with the tree trunk as it cracked through half way before the rest had been eaten away. The tree which was quite thick came crashing down as the birds that were resting in it flew off in fright. The sound echoing for a few moments before dying down.

“In general, the bolt since the elven forest is 3x stronger, but with this I suppose its even more so..I'm eager to continue..” Avrin then heard clapping from the far left and he turned to see Izanami and sighed in his head realising she was here.

“That was incredible sir Avrin!“ She smiled, full of compliments for him. She then stood up and made her way towards him. “What will you do now?..”

Avrin knew she would interfere in his training so he decided he would try and put an end to this. “How about we spar Izanami?..” To which she happily jumped up and down before nodding “Please give me a moment!” She left and went into the forest towards the mansion.

15 minutes had passed and Avrin was doing pushups, reaching his 3rd set. He didn’t want to overdo it on one section of his body and also did sit ups and chin ups using a nearby branch. But he stopped as he saw Izanami shoot from the forest like a blur. He widened his eyes to see her in her shinobi attire.

He then grinned “Very good Izanami. I shall finally get to see you in battle” He spoke as he had figured Ayame was the more powerful one. to him, Izanami was something to take his frustration out on.

She smiled with a faint grin “Thank you sir Avrin. Well then, like the rules with Ayame, no killing, and only when one gives up or a knockout occurs is when the match is over. Let us begin”

Avrin widened his eyes “Wait you were present for that due-!” Before he finished, Izanami shot out like a black blur which shocked Avrin who quickly augmented his eyes only to see her a few feet away from him. If he was to guess, she was at least twice as fast as Ayame in her normal form.

And he didn’t even have time to set up a shadow wall. He quickly formed a void blade using his left hand and slashed downwards towards her. Izanami showed a menacing look before her mana condensed on her forehead, emitting the white dragon symbol before she vanished with frightening speed. Avrin could barely notice her. He saw her mana trail but she had vanished.

He knew it was over. The word “-overkill-” Appeared in his head before he blacked out. Izanami had landed a powerful kick between his shoulder and neck knocking him out effectively. She was more precise than Ayame who wasn't good when it came to aggressiveness.

Avrin collapsed downwards but Izanami vanished again before catching him in her arms. “Oh dear oh dear. Sir Avrin, I apologise...It’s been so long since I have battled someone I admire...And your battle with Ayame had gotten me excited in more than one way…” She blushed heavily. Even though Avrin couldn't hear her she continued to talk.

20 minutes passed and Avrin slowly opened his eyes. He felt his head was on a sort of pillow, it was comfortable he could see the sky and the sun, but something was wrong. Why was half the sky missing and half the sun too.

What was those black bulges blocking his view of such a beautiful sight. He then opened his eyes some more and looked carefully he then widened them before leaning up hitting his head against the bulges. “Kya!! Sir Avrin, so assertive..” those bulges were Izanami’s large breasts.

Avrin quickly pushed her away as he rubbed his head showing an annoyed look as he thought to himself “-Damn this seductive crone...-” Not only for her pulling such a trick after knocking him out, but for the fact that she beat him with little effort. She was obviously more powerful than Ayame and he underestimated her based on her personality.

He then turned to gaze at Izanami who was sitting down. Her knees bent down as she grinned with a smile while looking at Avrin. “Sir Avrin, would you like to try again?..” A droplet of sweat appeared on his forehead before he shook his head with annoyance.
