Master Of None

Chapter 1570 1570. Bright Skills

"You two should show him what you can do. Your training went well! I will rest while you do that." Horizon left them and inhabited the spirit mark on Alice. They all felt a little off seeing the instant loss of energy in Horizon's movements. It was very odd.

"You know, Fleur seems like she doesn't want to come out either. It's been like this since the mage tower meeting with the elemental grand spirits.." Walker felt off even more thinking about it. He thought that he might not have gained enough mana to replenish what Fleur had used and would have to meditate more.

"Brother, we can all go to the mage tower later. It would be easier than using crystal to replenish mana." Onyx was on like mind when it came to this. He had caught on to the potential issues since the training they had done also used a lot of mana.

"You're right. Let's go see what you have going on then we will see what is going on with the mana." Walker was also going to check with the others to see what was going on. He was sure that there would be a similar result. They had all seen the grand elemental spirits use a lot of mana. The fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness spirits had all used a lot of mana. Every elemental spirit… Walker was nearly stuck on the thought before he felt Alice pull him a little.

They made it outside to the behind of the cathedral. "I had the area renovated a little more." The high priest had followed them. He was mentioning this because Walker had not been to the cathedral garden since he had left the city.

Now the cathedral garden was expanded and had many spaces for additional training. "I decided that some of the healers may want to train their defensive skills. They should be able to do that here rather than anywhere else so I made a change. It will be well worth the change. If you break it you still need to repair it though." The high priest was firm on this.

"If anything is wrong I will use my grand elemental manipulation to do so." Walker had to promise this or else he knew the high priest would be keeping a closer eye on them than usual. It would get in the way of Alice and Onyx using their skills together.

'Brother, I will go first. I focused on one thing and one thing only. I focused on bringing my shadows to life even more." This seemed like it fit Onyx best. It was of his best elemental affinity and also had more reason to be stronger overall.

"Then show me what you have." Walker used some mana to shape the earth ahead of them in to five small earth dummies. The dummies were enough for Onyx to target with precision which Walker expected of whatever skill Onyx had trained.

"While I have been around the little hatchlings I have wondered how they moved. At first, I thought this so that I could help them move better around the city like I do." Onyx had a pure intention, but he had begun to think of other ways to use these movements. "When I wondered what they looked like made of shadows traveling like that, I had an epiphany."

The shadows that were around Onyx began to wriggle and shimmer. They seemed like a mess of snakes or thriving vines. They were clearly moving around him waiting to be used in some way. "So you brought the shadows to life with your elemental control." Walker was impressed but this was not all.

The shadows slithered around the dummies with surprising speed. Before they reached the five dummies, the shadows reached out of the ground. The darkness elemental mana was in high density as Onyx used his own mana to force it to do so. The shadows formed pointed blades and pierced the five earth dummies in an instant.

"I am a much better mid range attacker now!" Onyx definitely seemed more tired after this attack. The mana he had to use was very high to pull this off. The only thing that he needed was a lot more training to be able to use it over and over.

"The fact that you can use five of those attacks at once is already amazing. That means that you have trained it pretty well. If you are using this attack like that you should be able to take down multiple enemies at once with it." The idea was that onyx would be able to more easily use one than five at a moment's notice.

"Brother, I agree. I put the skill together with my other skills and found that combining them was better than leaving them apart. Now I am stronger at the cost of more mana. I will train this much more and try to absorb more mana to gain strength." Onyx felt that this was the best possible training for the next few weeks. He wanted to ensure that he would be able to use this in any upcoming battles.

"Walker." Alice was waiting for Walker to look over at her. While Onyx had shown off, Alice had stepped in to an open space and waited patiently. She had been working on a skill that was sometimes used by healers that had the faith healing system.

"Alice has worked hard to make this skill her own. The system she had even went well with it." Onyx made a simple comment that Walker barely heard. He was already entranced by Alice who had begun to hum and dance.

The light in the air vibrated and came to fall like snow on the ground. Alice's footsteps became coated in the light creating a pattern on the ground. Her humming increased until she began to sing about the rain of light healing the world.

The combination of the song and the patterns on the ground were enough for Walker to understand the point of her skill. "You made a healing area! Place where healing is multiplied over and over!" The falling light snow would heal someone while the patter on the ground would push the healing light back up to heal again. Anyone with injuries would heal over and over.

"Alice saw the faith healers area heal skill and dance of healing. She read about them and then wanted to see if she could use them since she is a songstress. It worked. She has the dance of melodic healing now." Onyx couldn't contain his excitement seeing that Walker had become so animated as well.

"It's great! This is a perfect way to heal people faster and with less mana." The mana used was being recycled so to speak because it did not dissipate like normal healing skills after use. But even more, the skill was using that mana in an incredibly efficient way. Not only was this because of the control that Alice had over light elemental mana but also because she had knowledge about healing. It was a joint effort of her combined experiences.

"My daughter always outdoes what I expect." The high priest's eyes were shining with pride. He had seen so many things to be proud of from his adopted daughter. She had told him about her discoveries when it came to her bloodline. He had supported her and told her just how much he loved her. But he could never put how proud he was about the woman she was becoming before his eyes. There was no sadness to see her grow up, just excitement for what he might be able to see from her in the future.

"Healer!" The gruff voices yelling for healers made the four of them freeze in place. They had no idea what was happening so early in the morning but there was always a chance someone might be hurt. But what they saw when they rushed back inside the cathedral would have been a surprise for anyone.

"Mordant!" Walker used all his speed to sprint to Mordant who was being carried by his dragonkin through the cathedral. The panic in their eyes was not normal. They had never seen their lord in such a state. A dragon never fell ill. They did not fall to sickness.

"What happened?" Walker was trying to probe Mordant with his senses to find out what was happening. However, all he found was a lack of mana.

"He has a very high fever and has been saying that his mana didn't replenish properly. In the history we have been told. No dragon has ever been like this." There was pain in the voice of the dragonkin as they spoke. Seeing their lord in such a state was nothing good. It was shaking their souls.
