Master Of None

Chapter 540 - 540. Ripple

' The skill wind ripple has been taken from the sky god system. The user has automatically learned the skill wind ripple.

Wind ripple- 1 mana cost for every fifty steps.

The user uses a single mana to create waves within the air. This ripple gives the user fifty small waves to step over as if they were solid ground. The ripples cause a small disruption to any wind elemental skills nearby. This skill can be used as long as the user consumes mana to increase the possible steps.'

Walker did not focus at all or have the chance to read this system notification. He was consumed by the dance of the rabid rabbit and stepped through the air using the wind ripple skill continuously. 

Light was shocked and found that her steps had become shaky and hard to balance. Before she knew Walker was within an inch and was swinging an arm out to her. The music came to an end in this instant as if someone had ordered it and Walker felt his rhythm interrupted. He felt the slight tired feeling and noticed that Light was starting to snake in the air. 

He acted as smoothly as possible and started a walk down to the ground using the air ripple skill. He guided Light down and raised his and her hand high before bowing. After the watching audience had shouted their praise he separated from her. "That was a lot of fun. Thanks for helping me learn a new skill." Before she could reply he was already gone towards the musicians who had been stopped by Su. 

Walker smiled with a slight bit of embarrassment. He didn't like how the dance of the rabid rabbit skill would keep him moving without his full focus and consent. The instinctual drive was a little too much to handle. However, he was not afraid to use the skill when his party was around since they were able to properly keep him in check. He knew he could always rely on them and they could for him. 

Light just looked in awe at Walker since he had just said that he had learned a new skill. To the elf that had been the master of walking through the air, it was something impossible. However, before she could get anywhere near him to ask for more information Walker was crowded by the other wind striders that had been watching from around him.

"Scylla, you didn't do him justice in your description of his skills. That movement was more than any of us could replicate." King Rorick was amazed and brought to a more serious attitude after seeing Walker step through the air in such a manner while using other movement techniques. 

Scylla who stood behind him was equally shocked again by Walker and his change in his dance. "My king, I believe he just learned yet another skill. He could not walk and cause those ripples in the air before. I believe we witnessed him get stronger yet again." 

"I can say, the difference since I last saw them to now is extreme. I feel that their is an aura of power around them that they lacked. I know we may have higher levels and different systems...but I do not believe that would matter." King August had listened in on the conversation between the two and could not hold back. 

"Just from the moment they stepped in to my city and now with them preparing to leave, it is very different. They caused the world to shake due to the experience they gained, brought new ideas to my archers, trained young enforcers in ways they had been missing, showed my people the value the world would have for their products, and they even stood behind my own successor to change our laws." The queen also joined in. This was the problem with sitting next to other rulers. 

"You forget that they also are the only ones recognized as friends to monsters, right? I did not miss the fact that they gained more titles. They even helped one of my own gain a title. It is very exciting." Rorick paused before continuing. "I thought this would go very differently, but this may be the first time I have not wanted war with the demons in my life."

There was a look of relaxation on Roricks face. He had long been stressed by this notion and even more so after the recent events with potions and cursed items. Having this situation was unprecedented and utterly amazing. "Do you think they will bring those dwarves from under their rocks? It has been many years since they traveled out of their own kingdom in flesh and blood. They are too attached to those golem soldiers." 

King August didn't even hesitate to respond to king Roricks words, "Yes. If they go there I can almost guarantee that they will want to join this alliance and venture to the city. If the elves and dwarves can somehow combine their forging and magic…" The words alone were powerful. 

"I can not see such a thing happening now. But you are correct. These are the people to do it." The rulers fell in to their own conversations on the food and futures they wished to see while the party finally rescued Walker from the onslaught of questions the wind striders were giving him. 

"I thought I was going to be talked to death, I couldn't even answer one." Walker was breathing heavily while Su and Remey had released him after pulling him away. 

"That's what you get for showing off a new skill. You should have told us that you could walk through the air though." Remey was excited to see that Walker had the skill but wished to have seen it sooner. 

"Remey, he just learned it. I saw the way he changed his tactics in the middle." Su had seen it all clearly and began lecturing Remey and Walker on the small changes in his movements.
