Chapter 1166 - 1166. Fly High!

Chapter 1166 – 1166. Fly High!

The wind was perfect for working with fire elemental mana. Walker already knew that air could feed fire to become stronger. But when adding the water in to the mix it created an opposing force that could make the fire chase the colder air mixed with water elemental mana. This was the effect he wanted for the skill he was trying to learn. 

Being able to wrap his body in these opposing air currents could help him boost his agility while moving around. This meant that he would not only be training his elemental control but also his ability to dodge and get in to better battle positions. It was covering many bases. The understanding he had of these three elemental manas was also increasing by leaps and bounds. He needed to control the areas he was moving through and in doing so he had to take in to account the way these manas flowed naturally. 

The next gust of wind that Walker made also wrapped around his body. He found that it was able to push the air around him in to a sphere like repulsive force while moving him in the direction he desired. He was also able to use the grand elemental manipulation to push even more of the wind upwards beneath Midnight. The results spoke for themselves. 

Midnight was able to catch more wind than before. She flapped with even more vigor because she could feel the closer connection between her wings and the air beneath them. The feeling was exactly what she had been missing. The feeling of bonding between the air and her wings was something every creature that could fly needed to find. Now that midnight felt it she could feel every muscle that worked together throughout her body to flap her wings with power. 

The first time that she really began to rise was this moment. Each flap that connected in this flurry of emotions and adrenaline made Midnight fly higher. She moved awkwardly at first since it was a new feeling but Walker could see the light flickering in her eyes when she did. This was what she had been chasing the entire time. She felt like a powerful dragon able to rise above the world and see the world for the first time. 

"Go higher!" With simple encouragement from Walker, Midnight took off. She was not able to hold it due to her lack of experience and stamina but in the last moment, she was able to flap her wings hard enough to rise just a little higher above the mansion. That was all she needed. She no longer would need to chase this feeling. She had it. She could do it again and again. She would be able to fly indefinitely one day and today was the start!

"That was great! You flew so high." Walker knew that Midnight needed the praise and encouragement. He could also feel her energy and desire to keep improving. This was no place for them to stop and he was ready to go again. He didn't even notice that he had also received a system notification. 

'The skill wind wrapping has been taken from the gale elephant system. The user had trained using three elemental manas to manipulate the wind replicating this skill and automatically learned it. 

Wind wrapping- 3 mana every five minutes

This skill allows the easy mixing of air, fire, and water elemental mana. The wrapping of different temperature winds allows arrows to be deflected easily and the user's agility to be increased by +10 while in use. The user is also better able to use wind elemental skills and use the wind mana around them. This can also be used to send large gusts of wind from them at an increased mana cost.'

The pair continued their training for another few hours before both of them were collapsed on the ground too tired to continue. Walker had incorporated training dummies to jump over and slash at while Midnight had begun to try and breath fire while flying. The added challenges had greatly stressed their minds since it required high focus. Yet, that was what bred their future strength and increased their training. 

"I think we can call it a day. I want to make sure I check out a few things around the city before we leave. Remey should be able to give me some potions for us to take on the trip." Walker knew that Remey would prepare them without him asking. But he was also planning to touch base with Remey when it came to her training. She had a lot on her plate when it came to alchemy, but she still needed to remember her role in the party. 

Midnight just huffed softly in response and Walker couldn't help but laugh since he knew she would be falling asleep sooner than she wanted. But that wasn't an issue. She needed the rest to recuperate and be able to train the next day even more. When it came to their trip they needed to be as ready as possible. 

After he cleaned himself up, Walker set out. The mansion was more or less empty since everyone was busy as always, this meant that no one would stop Midnight from eating to her heart's content. But it wasn't too worrying since she needed the food to keep growing stronger. Walker swore she was taller every single day. It made him worry that she would need her own addition to the mansion to live. One with a massive bonfire to stay warm. Not to mention the food she would eat. But that was all assuming she would not go out exploring on her own at some point. 

These weren't things that Walker liked thinking about all the time. Yet, it was to be expected that Midnight and Onyx would go out on their own. They were fast growing and no one could hold them back.
