Master Of None

Chapter 484 - 484. Ceremonial

"I have the ceremonial sword system. I can use any ceremonial sword for more than just ceremonies. They are as deadly and if not more deadly as any sword made by a master. The more important the ceremony the stronger my sword."The elf was saying this while he was running at Walker. There was no hesitation in his attack and Walker easily realized that this elf was the most experienced out of all of them in the squad. 

Walker was interested in this system due to the fact that it sounded weak but was actually very powerful. If this elf was able to use ceremonial swords which were often made for decoration and not for a real battle in a way that they were sometimes more powerful than a normal sword, then it was a huge surprise for any enemy. This also meant that there would be a huge advantage if they had a more important ceremonial sword. 

"So the two hooked swords you have are for a ceremony? They appear daily powerful, but I am sure you have better." Walker wanted more information and sent the frost whip to intercept the elf. 

"You would be surprised how valuable a small ceremonial sword is. This one is" The elf cut away the first frost whip and then jumped over the second, "for a ceremony of harvest. The hooks at the end represent the change from battle to fostering life. It is important only during the harvest season. It is better I use these now than the winter." 

Hearing the details on how the weapons could be stronger or weaker during the times when the ceremony was more prevalent was news to him. This meant that the time of yeard could drastically change the strength of the system and the user. "How about a demonstration, since this is the ceremonial sword of the harvest then it lets me use this skill." 

The elf was a little arrogant but excited to show off his skills. The ceremonial sword glowed with a brown earth elemental mana and had hints of blue water elemental mana. Once the elf leader slashed the sword in front of him there was a sudden shaking in the vines around him. "It may cost a lot of mana, but have fun with the vine frenzy." 

The vines split out of the larger intertwined vines and began to move toward Walker. They were like vine whips going after him without mercy. The elf leader was standing completely still not even flinching. Walker could only guess that the large amount of mana used on this skill from the ceremonial sword was keeping the elf in place.

Since the frost whips would prove useless in this situation walker decided to try and use the first ring skill to slow the vines around him. The elemental water mana gathered around him and started to work its' magic. There was a layer of frost forming everywhere he stepped and slightly on the vines that got too close to him as he evaded them. 

This skill wasn't strong enough though and could not slow the vines enough. He was left with no choice but to take out the moldable crystal ball which the leader of the trainee elite enforcer squad appeared to recognize. "I heard that you made a unique weapon out of crystal. Is that it?" This was one of the few elves that were always up to date when it came to the kingdom activities. This was one part of the elite trainee enforcers' training that they had to keep up on.

It was a clear fact for them that they would not be able to act as the best hands for the queen if they were lost to what was going on in their own kingdom, or the world. Since they were always up to date on activities it greatly separated them front the other elves that had been slacking in training. Walker had been lucky enough to go against the elves that were more forward in their studies. The only thing they lacked was experience. 

Walker used his high earth sculpting to change the form of the moldable crystal ball in to a shape that was different than he had used it previously, Instead of a spear, he made it in to the perfect balanced sword he wanted. He then used the blade of night and day skill to activate the light and darkness elemental mana within. 

The elf drew a short breath as a sword was formed from the crystal ball and that the two opposing elemental manas had formed the blade. The sword had become a double bladed sword in perfect balance. The light elemental mana had claimed one half and the darkness elemental mana had claimed the other. They slightly bled in to each other in the center making the elemental mana in the air unstable. This was the cause of the elfs' sharp breath. He could feel the danger coming from this unique weapon. 

Walker smirked and slashed at the vines coming at him. He had been using multiple weapons the entire time he sparred against the elves and was now using a different variation of the moldable crystal ball to attack. Due to the lowed vines, Walker was able to slice them up at a much faster rate. This continued to compound in to a rain of cut vines from the ceiling falling on to the training elves below. 

He had no mind to pay to those below since he had become immersed in the slashing attacks he was performing. The vines were becoming less but he was feeling the need to continue to push on attacking. The mana was being bled out of the vines and other times they were decaying away. The image was slowly burned in to the elfs' mind as he watched the sheer damage from the unique weapon.
