Master Of None

Chapter 485 - 485. Swordplay

  Walker was quickly eradicating the small vines that were coming at him. So much so that he had stopped using the frost ring spell. He felt that it was actually holding him back from reaching farther in to his sword attacks. 

His eyes fell on the leader of the elf squad at the moment when the vines had nearly stopped coming for him since the mana that the elf had used was nearly exhausted. This made a shiver run down the elfs' spine since he was not p[repared to deal with the speed Walker had suddenly displayed. 

Since he had no choice but to try and defend himself the elf pulled another sword from his back leaving the two ceremonial hooked swords on the platform he had been resting on. The new sword in his had had a much deeper green and brown color mixed with some blue. It was almost as if it was somehow alive with the plants of the forest. 

"I am not very in control of the spirit cedar ceremonial sword. Please forgive my rampage." The elf said this and took a large breath of air. The water and earth elemental mana started to thrum in reaction to his use of the sword. For the elves, the ceremony of planting a spirit cedar was an important cultural benchmark. Not a single elf did not know or attend a ceremony in their lives. 

The elemental mana that was being kicked up around him made the larger vines start to tremble as if they were trying to reach out and touch the ceremonial sword. The elf released almost all of his remaining mana in to the sword which caused a more developed attack than the two hooked ceremonial swords before. 

This time the vines were braided and held more force. There were also translucent vines made from elemental mana condensed that were aiming at his very spirit. Walker could feel that this attack was much more dangerous than the previous one and took on the stance he was comfortable with. He was able to flow directly in to the dance of the rabid rabbit as the adrenalin ran through his body. 

He was so consumed by the slashing and hacking of vines paired with the dodging and spinning of the dance of the wild rabbit and jungle step that he didn't notice the system notifying him multiple times. 

'The skill lightning swordplay has been taken from the master swordsman system. The skill lightning swordplay has been automatically learned through full use of agility stat and sword movements.

Lightning swordplay- 1 mana per minute cost

+15 agility

The user consumes mana to speed their body up by a massive amount. The body of the user can force the sword they use to cut through the elements at such a speedy rate that lightning will appear to be generated. This style has a chance to cause burning, paralysis, and extreme bleeding.

The skill slash zone has been taken from the battle planet system. The skill slash zone has been modified to fit the user due to physical body differences. The user will receive the unique skill slash zone automatically.

Slash zone- 5 mana per minute cost

The user uses their senses to create an area directly around them that they can feel any change in mana. When a foreign mana enters it they can sense it and attack with applicable agility based skills. This skill can only be used in reference to advanced sensing skills and advanced attack skills involving some form of blade or created blade. The user can slash all around themselves from any angle as if it is a natural movement.

The user is manipulating mana at an extremely high level with grand elemental manipulation and other applicable skills. Due to the high rate of mana consumption and attempted absorption the skill voracious mana consumption has been taken from the sin demon system. Ther skill has been forcefully learned. 

Voracious mana consumption- contingent on circumstances per activation

The user must be in a battle frenzy state to cause this skill to activate. This skill will leave the user with one single mana point at the end of use. This skill will consume the mana from the air directly to use as fuel for any skills or actions. This skill is a unique trait of the sin demon system, specific title holder; gluttony.'

The system notifications were something that would make any normal person shudder. These skills would never normally come together but in Walker's case, they had done just that. 

The speed of his sword play began to cause small shocks of lightning to spark out. Even the translucent spirit vines were being sliced to pieces. Any vine that came near Walker was slashed almost faster than the elf leader could see. He knew that he needed assistance to deal with the monster of a human coming at him. "Form up and defend!" 

His shout brought the other elves from the periphery of the battle. The elf leader had a minimal amount of mana along with most of his squad. Not to mention the one elf with a missing dagger which was broken somewhere below them. "He is having some form of frenzy. We need to keep him distracted until he returns to normal. This will be harsh training, be ready." 

The other elves knew exactly the depth of what their training could be and had a feeling this was going to break the record for toughest yet. They were faced with skills they did not understand, an opponent who did not seem to need to replenish their mana, and worst of all a brutal weapon that could cause massive damage in a blink of an eye. Things were not in their favor, however, the disruption to the mana had done more than affect the five elves up above.
