Master Of None

Chapter 1438 1438. Odd Traits

"Since we are talking about purely physical warriors, what about that enforcer? She isn't using a single magical arrow or skill. It's all tough materials and skill." Gil pointed out one of the forest elf archers. He had met her a few times but she was less talkative and more focused on training.

"Well, I should have expected that you would point out someone using a bow and arrow." Walker teased a little but found that Mordant had taken the question more seriously. Bur Ibis was the one that beast Mordant to a reply.

"Very strong muscle control. She had more than just the basic skill set of an archer. I would say a master archer system at least. Or a variation of archery. The enforcer is just a position within the elven society, not a benchmark of her skills. I assume that she will proceed to your archery academy soon?"

"She is actually one of the assistants there. I will not allow her to join as a teacher until she has five more years of in the wild experience. She also has to continue her position as an enforcer." Alma was not letting one of the most talented archers get away from her position.

"This elf is that highly talented? I would say she is somewhat lacking. She had the training and precise control but not the spirit. I assume she has just gone along with her system her whole life?" Mordant seemed to be getting at more than just the skill level.

"There are multiple warriors down there. You can see the ones that just want fame and a comfortable potion. Those are the ones losing. Your archer is the same. She hasn't found a driving force to get stronger yet. Those five years might need to be ten or twenty to find that. Even royal dragons like myself were that way when we hatched. I decided to carry the weight of every darkness dragon in my shadow. I am the most powerful of all the darkness dragons because of that." The shadows seemed to stretch slightly when Mordant showed off his determination.

"Not to stop the conversation…but who is that?" a demi-human had arrived in one of the arenas. It seemed that they had absolutely no discerning features other than longer hair. "I can't even tell what kind of demi-human trait that is." Walker couldn't get the best view either since the battle between him and a grey haired spider had started.

"Is it really fair that he is up against a grey haired spider though? They are definitely more agile being a monster race. Although, demi-humans have a lot more body control because of their trait…" Gil tried to make sense of the battle. It came to everyone's realization that they had not considered some of the monster races participating in these battles.

"I thought most of the goblins and grey haired spiders were busy building their own homes? If some are here then they must have set up permanent residences within Genesis. I don't think they would stay here." Alma had heard that most of the grey haired spiders had left because they did not desire to make homes here first. There were a few left, of course.

"Whatever the reason, I think the control over the spider silk between its legs is amazing. It's using it like a whip and like a snare. That's a very good way not to use their innate magical abilities to control spider thread. Everyone is watching them too, so they don't use those skills in this kind of battle that only has a physical moves rule." Mordant found himself impressed with the ingenuity he was seeing.

"I know those traits. That is a soft haired porcupine traited demi-human. They live in the grass lands and are exceedingly rare monsters. To have traits that align with them make that demi-human a force to be reckoned with." Just as Ibis recalled this information, the long hairs on the demi-human's body shot out. Because they were part of his body, he could control each and every single one by flexing.

"They have absolutely zero control of any elemental mana or magic. That trait seems to be true for the demi-human fighting. Yet, they can control their body with absolute control from the day they are born. That means they can do that." The grey haired spider's threads were cut in to tiny pieces.

The advantage they had thought the grey haired spider had was a complete falsehood. It was only there to show that the demi-human had not begun to try yet. "That demi-human will get very far because of their innate skill. But they also planned out the best way to make themselves appear to be an underdog. I doubt the judges saw that but the crowd did." Walker knew part of this tournament was attracting the crowds' adoration.

"Spell blades!" The first of the magic and physical mixed skills battles had started. Alma saw the familiar attacks of a water elemental spell blade forest elf and jumped up in excitement. She had wanted to see them specifically. She wanted to see how many had come and improved since they arrived in Genesis Is a few weeks ago.

"The spell blades just got here from the forest elf city. They came just for this competition to train and then report back to the Queen. The queen apparently wanted to come but has been busy preparing to send more soldiers to the borders. A few rumors have started about everyone sending more." Gil wanted the forest elf queen to have come too but there were good reasons not to.

"If they have been training here and no one has been gossiping then I assume they have locked themselves away to keep hidden. That's a very sneaky way to come to a battle." Mordant found the spell blades interesting. Five had just taken the stage, one that used darkness elemental mana had already grabbed his attention.
