Master Of None

Chapter 685 - 685. Dragon Hair

"I thought I would have fallen asleep before we got to the bow!" Gil jumped up and rushed outside before quickly returning with some materials. "I already have a braided bow string using the gliding spider thread. Now I want to use this breeze gold as an additive to the bow base. There are also a few other pieces here I think will work. The wavey grass is supposed to release some wind elemental mana when bur ed so that would help with the forging process. But won't we need a wind spirit to make modifications?" 

Guil had been watching and thinking about what they may need when they went to modify the bow. It was clear that they would be using spirit forging but without the right amount of mana that would fail. 

"I actually had some thoughts on that. Your leader over there seems to be well versed with elemental magic. He can take the mana from some wind element mana crystals and bring it out to the forging area." The elder looked at Walker with a smug expression plastered on his face. 

"My new partner and I will be trying our best to keep the earth elemental mana away from the process. We should have it under control." Su seemed like she had more than warmed up to the earth elemental spirit. The two were next to each other giving off an extremely calm aura. 

"Well, I just came with mana potions. I know that Walker and Gil will need them. But I really doubt I can help anywhere else since cooling won't really be necessary. I just don't know what I will have to do later." Remey seemed like she wanted to add more but no one pushed her just yet. Walker had the sneaking suspicion that she may have her own unique hero quest but didn't want to bring it up to everyone just yet. 

Midnight came forward. "I will be working on communication, but sister will be adding her new flames to the process." Onyx spoke Midnoights' will and everyone was a little shocked. Walker quickly looked at Midnights' profile on his party leader system screen. 

"Midnight! You have a new skill!" He was ecstatic to see the golden flame heart skill. It was an amazing addition to what she could do when it came to breathing flames. She had so many new things to experiment with and learn. 

"Sister says she wants to train with you when we get home. That way she can learn to breath better fire." Onyx relayed Midnights' wishes and Walker went to pat her on her head. The two of them were excited for the future training of new types of elemental flame breath that she could learn and hopefully that Walker could learn to manipulate. 

Midnight proudly huffed and went to the forge. In just a second she had breathed in puffing out her chest. Walker could feel her pulling on her inner mana just before she released a large breath. The golden flames that rolled out from her mouth caused the forge to heat up slightly hotter than before but also change the way the flames looked. They all became brilliant gold and Walker could tell that the flames had melded with the remnants of his forge orb skill. 

"Let me add to that as well then." Walker did his best to create another forge orb which was a bit smaller than before since he didn't have the fire elemental spirits' assistance. Regardless, when the orb was pushed in to the forge flames they spread and increased in strength. 

"Kid! Give me that breeze gold and toss in that wavey grass. It's time to prepare the metals we will use to bring this bow to its' rightful strength. I expect you to start using whatever skills you have to add wind elemental mana to it. Where's my crystal delivery!" The booming yell from the elder prompted a massive amount of yelling and scrambling from the outside of the forge. 

Many footsteps banged through the halls and toward the elders' forge. Ten dwarves came in and dropped off crates of wind elemental crystals before exiting as fast as possible. They were more than used to the elders' shouts for materials and would rush to get them instantly. "Use those and start up. The longer this goes on the harder it will be to keep the mana inside the bow of yours." 

The elder grabbed some other materials and mixed them with the breeze gold that was already melting. Gil tossed the wavey grass in to the forge flames and Walker felt the change in the air immediately. The wind elemental mana was being pulled in to the forge as if it had just found a lover it had missed for years. The strength and density increased by the minute. 

Without hesitating, Gil and Walker partnered up to start to pull the elemental mana from the crystals. Gil was using the same skill set that he would to pull the mana out and place it in an arrow. However, he was now using it to bring the mana to the bow that was waiting to be modified. Walker was doing the same and watching for Gil to take control of the mana he pulled from the crystals. 

As they did this there were small cracking sounds as some crystals were unable to remain whole after having their mana taken. Yet, this was acceptable since the bow was already reacting to the increase in wind elemental mana. The bow was glowing with ruins and ancient patterns. 

The elder was keeping a close eye on them as he took out a series of small brushes. "These are made from the hair of an ancient wind dragon. It was a gift from the dragons when they first asked for assistance from the dwarves. Every elder has found reasons to use this to paint runes. I can only hope it works as I intend." The elder steadied his hand and dipped the brush in the melted breeze gold.
