Master Of None

Chapter 1602 1602. Dragon Fire!!!

'Assassin jacket queen- enraged

The assassin jacket queen has been able to subjugate multiple other queens. This had allowed her to establish a constant supply of food to her and multiple sources of assassin jacket soldiers. Due to this, it has been able to grow stronger and stronger.

The shell of the assassin jacket queen is unique, having gained additional strength. It is ideal light armor material for those that rely on speed. The poison that the assassin jacket queen has within its body is also unique. It can be used for very unique medicinal potions.

The weakness to fire has been overcome by the constant growth of the assassin jacket queen. Its wings can resist flames much better than the soldiers therefore it is unable to be easily forced to the ground. The best way to defeat it is with a powerful blunt force.'

The all around appraisal had given Walker some great insight about the assassin jacket queen. He had already called for a retreat. The mages and archers were moving backwards slowly while still sending attacks at the assassin jackets trying to fly from under the soil.

It was a panic for the assassin jacket swarm. Their entire nest had collapsed leaving them much weaker. The food stores and the young larvae were completely gone. It was understandable that they would be angry. Yet, the queen was also influencing them to cause chaos. To kill and destroy the intruders.

This caused a madness to spread through the living assassin jacket soldiers. They began to crawl even if their wings and legs were burned. It caused the mages and archers to become even more stressed. This kind of pressure was hard to face, especially when there were so many assassin jackets that had lived. So many more than initially intended.

"Su! Come this way and meet my team!" Walker needed Su to defend him. She would be able to block the attacks of the assassin jacket queen while he prepared the elemental two handed hammer to attack the assassin jacket queen. The second Walker had seen that the weakness the queen had was blunt force, he had thought about the hammer he rarely used in battle.

"Understood!" Su had no other words. She heard Walker's shout and directed the mages and archers behind her to help cut a path to him. Midnight heard this as well and began to direct her flames toward the swarm with even more fury. The mages knew that Midnight was trying to help the other groups retreat properly. They used their mana and fire manipulation to copy the wave of flames that Walker had made.

Manipulating dragon fire was something that some of the mages could only imagine doing in a fantasy. In dreams, they would have the power to call down the dragon flames from the heavens, yet now? They were doing it. They were right next to a dragon facing an enemy that threatened the things they had decided to stand for in life. It was a literal dream come true.

This desire was not missed by the world. Out of all the mages that had been split in to groups, the fire mages had been sent with Midnight for the reason that they may be able to work with her. However, none had known that many fire mages had the dream of controlling dragon fire. It was just something common and childish. Something most people ignored and forgot.

The sudden increase in Midnight's fire was like a scream for attention. The assassin jackets saw the threat and attacked. But the world had already given the title, dragon fire mage, to them. A title that allowed them to work in tandem with dragons to help them fight. To allow them access to the skill, dragon fire manipulation.

No one knew it, but this was the beginning of something very large. A way for the other races to bond with the dragon race. A way for the fire dragons to integrate themselves with mages. The first step in creating the Dragonfire mage academy within Genesis… to achieve the dreams of the fire mages that had always idolized dragon fire.

The flames that Midnight had breathed should have died off when she closed her move and made a move to get to Walker and Su who had just united to face the incoming assassin jacket queen. But when Midnight glanced behind her, she only saw that the flames had grown bigger in to a draconic head.

The manipulation of the five fire mages together had brought their ideology of dragon fire to life. It continued the flames using their mana to burn up a greatest number of assassin jackets. The archers could only rush to them and catch them as their mana was exhausted and the mages collapsed leaving behind a majorly burned piece of land with many smoldering assassin jackets.

Seeing this, Midnight roared out. The roar was a battle cry. But it was also her encouragement to completely eradicate the assassin jackets before her. She had trusted the mages to follow her and she was finally seeing the unity that Genesis had been growing standing with her. It was where she placed her pride.

Pride as a dragon? That was small. Pride as a guardian of Genesis? That was much greater. Genesis stood for much more than just the dragons now. A pride for just herself and race was small. Now she could show her pride for all that Genesis was and would be. That Was why she roared. She had to proclaim her desires.

Instead of going to meet Walker and Su as she had intended, Midnight changed directions to charge at the assassin jacket queen. With a single leap and heavy flap of her wings, Midnight had pounced on the unsuspecting assassin jacket queen. Her teeth pierced through the wings and tore them from their joints.

The assassin jacket queen lost its flying ability crashing in to the ground where Su was already in motion. Her shield was charging toward the head of the assassin jacket queen to stun it. The ringing of her twin shields bashing in to the assassin jacket queen was the signal that Walker needed. While it was stunned he could step in to the air and wind up with the elemental hammer in his hands.

The fire mana around from the dragon fire mages was too perfect. It had set the stage for the elemental hammer to gain a coat of flames. They spiraled from it as the air around seem to twist because of the heat. Gil had been watching and fired two wind elemental wither spike arrows toward them to fuel the fires even more. He and Remey were already grouping up with the others to retreat properly. They saw the work that Walker was doing and knew it to be more important for them to retreat the injured or mana exhausted.

By the time Walker's elemental hammer slammed down upon the body of the assassin jacket queen, it had felt that it was losing its life. The remaining few assassin jackets had gone berserk but were too injured to meet their queen. The death of the assassin jacket queen was instant, the flames that encompassed her left only some of her body behind for Walker to collect.

"Full retreat! The remainders can be cleaned by the other soldiers!" Walker's orders echoed out as Su took position again to protect their retreat. Walker only had time to store away the queen's body and a few assassin jacket bodies while they left. Midnight was growling constantly to deter any remaining assassin jackets. The only thing that kept them from attacking was the fact that they now feared the flames to their very core.

Seeing the ship in the distance and the call of those on the boats was what spurred them to return even faster. The ship had nearly gotten to the area the nest patrolled by the time they had dealt with the swarm.

Arrows flew high above as the elven snipers defeated additional assassin jackets. The dragonkin soldiers with them took to the land as the group stepped aboard the small boats and returned to the ship. Scylla was already smiling when Walker placed a foot on the ship. She seemed to know the results without words.

"I could see some new flames from here. I wish to know everything when everyone is treated. I expect our songstress friend to heal everyone quickly!" Scylla didn't have to order Alice to begin singing, she had already made it a point. But hearing that she had been deemed a friend by Scylla brought a strange happiness to her. Someone so powerful had respected her healing, something that made Alice very proud. It also expanded the bonds they had.

All that was left was for Walker to gather the groups after healing. The retreat had been swift once the main attack on the assassin jacket queen had been dealt. Walker felt strange having attacked with so much perfect cooperation. But looking at everyone around him, he understood that it was the bonds they had formed. Not just some small plan.
