Chapter 508 - 508. Cool Skills
Walker saw Scylla holding a clear glass ball that appeared to fall in to sand after she spoke to it. "What was that?" He had never seen an item act in this way and was incredibly curious.
"Oh, I was using one of the crystal balls our kingdom created to send a message to the king. I believe your kingdom uses a form of expensive crystals to do the same." Scylla easily related the item to what Walker was used to bringing a look of understanding to his face.
"I might need to think about getting some of those. I haven't needed to send a message yet but I have a feeling that we have been very lucky." Walker was thinking out loud but had hit a note with Scylla.
"Herre, I carry ten or so with me at all times. Take these three so that you can contact me or our kingdom if you have the need. Just channel your mana within and saw the name of the one you wish to speak with. Then say your name and speak as fast and efficiently as possible. The mana can only hold your words for about a minute."
Walker listened intently to the requirements to use the small cherry sized glass ball. It was perfectly clear but he could tell just by touching it that his mana could easily form within. "Thank you very much. I will keep this with me at all times." Scylla had accomplished a minor goal of hers here.
She had wanted to make sure that the heroes were comfortable contacting her or others in the kingdom, when necessary. She understood the prosperity that they could bring to the kingdom at any time. Even further, she knew that the heroes would visit again and she would want to prepare.
"Now, where are the adorable unicorns I have heard so much about" Scylla knew very well that the elder was watching her carefully. She was sure to let Walker lead her and stay at a distance. He had already been greeted by the young ones after all and it was he who was able to interact with them.
"The last time we were here the young unicorns needed to burn some energy so that their parents could have a rest. So I figure it is the same. Look, Onyx and Midnight are already playing with them." Onyx had changed his size to one that easily dwarfed the young unicorns. Instead of fear, they appeared excited at this change from the last time they had visited.
"The stories do not do them justice at all. They are much more majestic than I could even imagine when I first read of them." Scylla was watching them run and chase each other. The pure white hair that they had was not matched by any other creature she had ever seen. Even the soon to be queen had slight discolorations due to her heritage. This was normal for every demi-human, they would only have some traits of the monster or animal and not everything.
"They are just having fun. Their parents have some pretty amazing healing capabilities so they are all for training. Just sit back and enjoy the show. I bet you will see some pretty cool skills." Walker was more speaking of the skills the unicorns would use but Scylla took this as the skills that he would use. "I heard that there was a charging horn skill that someone needed help practicing?"
Walker said this to instantly attract some of the younger unicorns. His theory was that they would be eager to show off the skill they had learned to the playmates they had been waiting for. His words also drew the looks of the adult unicorns which were now standing and watching. They had enough ability to sense that there was a difference in Walker's strength and that they would need to be on guard in case his strength was out of control.
Walker nodded to them out of respect which was mirrored. These were not mindless monsters but very intelligent creatures to him. It was clear that they more than understood language and intention. They could even feel how the natural mana around them reacted to the beings nearby. It was something only very pure monsters or elemental base systems could do.
Seeing that there were two tongue unicorns gathering light on their horns Walker did not waste any time taking out the twin blitz swords. He had used the lightning swordplay with one sword and now wanted to see if he could use it with two. The inspiration came from the defensive elf who used two swords to deflect and attack at the same time.
His goal was to learn the skills necessary to booth defend and attack like that elf. He knew that he would be able to do a little better since he was not trained in weaker situations and had felt heavy attacks before. This simple fact alone was going to put him at an advantage overall in training defensively.
The young unicorns began to move towards Walker building up more and more momentum. All the while their horns gained even more light elemental mana from the space around them. This was similar to the light elemental arrow that had been tested by Gil while they trained the day before.
Walker held his twin blitz swords in the same stance as he had seen the elf doing before. One was forward while the other was back. This allowed one to deflect and block attacks while the other could launch a counter attack. "He is using the swords the king gifted him. Watch how he attacks closely. His skill that he will use is from a master swordsman system." The one that paid the most attention after hearing this was Sirius. His weapon of choice was a thinner sword after all.
