Master Of None

Chapter 497 - 497. Tag?

The same elf with the sealing skills had used three sealed light thrown blades in a row. These were easily countered by Onyx who tried to slam his tail down at her. The fact that they were the last two in the group Onyx was sparring with that could still stand was attributed to Onyx absorbing the light elemental mana constantly and the fact that the elf girl had been using her sealed attacks with cost less mana to release. 

"Onyx is really going all out. He is using his size to keep the girl cornered by also changing his size slightly to make that tail attack harder to predict." Su was watching very carefully and was catching on to Onyx's shadow growing and shrinking between his attacks. 

"He is also trying to use his size to wrap around her while they move. She is smart to keep moving in sharp motions instead of long rounded ones." Scylla and Su were slowly starting to fall in to a habit of sharing their thoughts on battle strategy and natural movement. Walker could only hope that this would not mean Su would gain some of the horror that Scylla could show. 

The elf that Onyx was against suddenly waved a sword ten times all in the same spot. The instant reaction of piled up thrown light blades stuck in the air made everyone become hyper focused. The elf then thrust her sword in to it and ran forward. The blade had taken in the elemental light mana and was now making the sword much more powerful. 

"That is a high level skill. To release so many seals then fuse them at once? There is no way that isn't high level." Wade was not familiar with this specific skill but knew it must be tough to use especially in battle. 

"That is the final attack. She is clearly low on mana and used that as the final trump card." Scylla could tell from the slightly sloppy movements that the elf was about to pass out on her feet. 

Onyx started to wind up and prepare a large tail slam at her. When the two were near enough the pull of Onyx trying to absorb the light elemental mana was not enough to get rid of the elemental light mana on the sword. Instead, the girl was able to slash down on Onyx's tail dealing the first real damage to him the entire training. This spell had made the blade sharper and tougher which stopped him from being able to absorb the light elemental mana as well as also cutting his scales. 

Before Onyx could push through the pain the girl collapsed causing Onyx to hurriedly shrink himself. "Let's go meet him and see if he will tell us about his new friend." Walker was trying to remain calm but he had felt his heart stop when Onyx was hurt. His worry was that of family and also the fact that he had never seen Onyx injured. 

"Looks like you really did a number on them." Walker greeted Onyx softly so that he wouldn't startle his obviously exhausted little brother. He also ignored the head ache he gained as he used his healing spells to fix up the small scratches and the final sword attack from the elf. "It looks like you made a good friend while training today." 

"Brother, thank you for healing me. I did make a worthy rival. This elf is able to hide her elemental attacks from me making me react faster. I have improved a lot with her assistance." Walker was impressed by how well Onyx was holding up, He had expected him to want to rest as well. 

"Brother, can you please leave her some light elemental crystals? I can feel that she will need them to replenish the mana she stored up in those items." Onyx didn't know the details of the sealing skill but could sense that there was not much light elemental mana left in her sword and clothing. This alone was enough to tell him that the elf would need more light elemental mana to fix what she used. 

"Sure thing, I am happy to see you getting along so well. When she feels better you should introduce us." Walker gave Onyx a soft smile and made sure Onyx could feel how proud he was. 

"Has sister finished her game of hide and seek tag yet?" This made everyone curious, however, just in the distance, they could see a small group of mages standing with their backs to each other on high alert. 

"Wait, what has Midnight been doing?" Remey was sure she was missing something fun and was heading toward the group of remaining mages. 

"Onyx, allow me to care for the elves here. The enforcers will come to assist." Wade made sure Onyx was comfortable leaving. Seeing that Walker had already dropped off some of the light elemental crystals near her he gave a slight nod while shrinking more and getting on to Walker's shoulders. 

"Brother, sister had been watching me the entire time. I was in a little trouble in the beginning but she came over to help. She is the best big sister I could ask for." Onyx wanted to brag about Midnight coming to save him. This was a big moment for Onyx in Walker's eyes since Onyx rarely showed emotions. Hearing these words was enough to possibly make him cry. 

"Promise me you will let Midnight know that when she is finished training. I am glad to hear it but she will be the happiest out of everyone to hear that." Walker gave Onyx a few pats on the head which was returned by a slightly tighter grip on Walker's shoulders. In moments like these Walker could forget about the entire world and just think himself glad to be alive.
