Master Of None

Chapter 1467 1467. Time To Fly?

There was a difference in not having any animals and monsters around because of seasonal changes, and finding that the entire area around them was silent without animals and monsters. Gil couldn't explain why there was nothing. From what he saw there were no tracks on the ground. No reason that monsters and animals would avoid this stretch of land.

"I don't see any poisonous herbs or plants in general. Nothing that could keep monsters away. If there were, we would find evidence." Remey was sure of this. She had read about herbs that attracted monsters with sweet scents but they poisoned the monsters. From there the monster would decay and become fertilizer for the herbs.

"If there aren't any tracks and nothing else to scare them away…doesn't that mean the monster might be in the air?" Su had the realization hit her. She had not been looking in the air for anything since it was rare for them to run in to situations like this.

"Midnight looked up and started to search. If there was an air battle it would be her first. It would be the perfect chance for her to learn aerial battle. Midnight had considered going to Elise and Stella. Unfortunately, things had become busy and she couldn't attempt that.

"In the distance, there is a flock of some flying monsters." Gil was able to find them in a few moments now that he had opened his eyes to the possibility that there were things in the sky preying on other monsters around here.

"I am going to try and appraise them. I don't know if it will work…" Walker knew that the distance was very far and he might not be able to use his all around appraisal on a single monster.

'Flock of arrow sparrow

These monsters flock in large groups. They prefer to prey on singular targets by diving and impeding their long sharp beaks in their prey. They will flock and take over a large territory. The flock will not attack monsters that can kill multiple of them at once. They are cowardly monsters.'

"It's not much information but I know how they act as a flock. That's a flock of arrow sparrows. I feel like it's a strange name but it makes sense. We should just keep moving. If we have them attack us Midnight and I will use fire to scare them away." Walker was sure that they could scare the arrow sparrows away.

"If they are just a large flock of them, then doesn't that mean there should be something hunting them too?" Remey thought it was unusual that there was nothing hunting the arrow sparrows.

"They are a large flock. I am sure that some of them get picked off by multiple monsters when they try to attack them. Or they are left behind by their fellow flock members." Since it was clear that the sparrows attack singular monsters, she thought it would be normal that they would not try to keep the weaker of their flock alive. It also came to mind that they would potentially attack their weakened flock members.

"Midnight, don't look so disappointed. We all know you want to fight them while breathing fire in an epic battle for the skies. But that's for another time. We need to stay in a group so they don't come over here." Walker saw what Midnight was thinking clearly. He wasn't going to allow her to run off in to trouble. "Neither will you Onyx, I see you trying to encourage her to take you with her."

"Brother, I was thinking no such thing. I would never want to be brought in to the sky to cover sisters' back and beat multiple opponents with my tail." As smart as Onyx had gotten, he was still too obvious with his desires.

"Since we are thinking about fighting in the air, shouldn't we remember that Walker can literally walk through it?" Gil had a point. He was sure that Walker would also jump in to the battle if the flock even looked at them.

"I can but it's not the same as flying. I do wonder, will you be able to do something similar as I can? You are literally the avatar of wind elemental mana under Zephyr." This was something that Gil had yet to consider.

"I'm not sure. Everything I do when it comes to my affinity becomes archery based. I have some hunting skills but they are also tied to archery. I wouldn't expect to be able to just fly one day." Gil thought for another moment, "But it would make sense that I will be able to step in to the air. I would have a better vantage point for firing from long distances."

"Then you should train more with the wind and see what you can do. If even a little, you might be able to change the speed at which you move. I know that some of the forest elves have skills that let them increase their agility by manipulating the wind." Su was sure this was a potential skill for Gil since he also used the dagger techniques.

"What about Remey? She can use those wind elemental knuckles to do things too. Why don't you all ask her if she will start sending flying punches?" The spotlight on Gil had put him in a strange mood so he had to change the topic.

"As much as I want to focus on flying punches, I have more concerns with alchemy fire. My skills need refining. I haven't even shown off my new skills." There were a few things that Remey had worked on that she was waiting to show off. Unfortunately, it was another thing that had been interrupted when she had to withdraw from the tournament.

"Don't look now, but that is a small group of soldiers." Walker stopped everyone. Alice had waved to show them the small group approaching them.
