Master Of None

Chapter 686 - 686. Rebirth

Walker was very curious and glanced at the brush in the elders' hand to use his all around appraisal skill. 

'Dragon hair brush

This is a brush made from dragon scale and dragon hair. The dragon willingly gave hair from it's body to create this brush as a gift for the dwarves. Thai brush can withstand extremely high temperatures and mana concentrations. The brush assists in the rune painting skill along with item improvement. If the user focuses on a single elemental mana exiting within the ink used they can maintain that mana in the painting process. These brushes can only be created by ancient dragons over the age of seven hundred years old.'

The dragon hair brushes were extremely valuable and amazing. Walker had never imagined that an item could only be made by a dragon over seven hundred years old. Imagining that someone or something could live that long without some strange magic was just too much. However, there was the term ancient in the explanation so it had to make sense. 

Watching the elder dipped the brush in to the molten breeze gold they all knew how amazing these brushes were. The elder skillfully used the brush to go over the runes following each pattern that glowed with the wind elemental mana. 

The molten gold cooled and was absorbed by the bow. Everyone had imagined that it would just sit on top outlining the runes. But they were wrong. The bow was soaking up the wind elemental mana the entire time. 

Upon looking back to check on Su, Walker noticed that the earth elemental spirit and the other earth spirit had teamed up to rest on her shoulders. Su was sitting with the earth dwelling shield on her lap. The earth elemental mana from the room was heading towards it and being stored within the mana crystal on the shield. It was not interfering with the wind elemental mana at all because of their close control. 

The elder added more and more of the breeze gold just for it to be absorbed with the wind elemental mana. Onyx was constantly communicating the elders' need for more of the mana to be pulled out of the crystals and before Gil knew it he was reaching for another crate. The bow was still absorbing the mana at a vast pace. 

"Brother, we need to increase the rate of the wind elemental mana." Onyx communicated the problem that they had and Walker proceed to take a deep breath and stick two hands in to two separate crates of win elemental crystals. 

He willed his mana to manipulate the crystals mana and start to rapidly pull at it. Thus wasn't to extract it but to forcefully break the crystals. He wanted the explosive release of wind elemental mana that he and Gil could attempt to push toward the bow all a once. 

The cacophony of shattering wind elemental mana crystals was a slight surprise to everyone but the elder who was too focused to notice the sounds. Walker could feel the mana being pushed around in the air and used a large portion of his own mana to wrestle it in to his control. The wind elemental mana was forced to rush toward the bow and caused the runes to grow brighter than before. Gil also began to pull more mana from the crystals and even grabbed some high wind elemental mana crystals from the crates. 

The process became much faster and the two saw a gold glow coming to the runes. This prompted the elder to grab another tool and began to add other layers of wind elemental runes to the bow. The gold that bled from the bow solidified making the runes glow gold as well. 

"Brother, we need to cool the bow. It is overheating from the mana and the forge fires." Onyx spoke to Walker but in an instant, he had relayed the message to Remey as well. 

Walker nodded to Reme who handed him a mana potion then started to use her skill to cool the room. The bow glowed even brighter as the heat was taken away and more wind elemental mana was gathered. The elder stepped back and so did Remey at his instruction. The bow was laying on a metal table clear from anything else when the elder poured the remainder of the breeze gold over it then used a tool to flip it over and cover the entire thing. This would have caused the bow to become gold but instead, it turned a bright green with gold rune carvings along with it. 

"Grab that bow string now!" The elder knew that the bow would be complete when the string was added. Gil didn't hesitate to grab the bow. Had no fear that it would be hot and found that it wasn't. It was cool like a spring breeze. 

There was a moment where the bow seemed to stop absorbing mana before a large gust of wind came through the elders' forge. The wind elemental mana was dragged out of the remaining mana crystals and the air directly in to the bow before it stopped and seemed to calm in Gil's hands. 

The wind started to flow around the bow and ruffle Gils' hair. The entire room was silent. Even a pin could drop and it would feel like the loudest thunder. The forge fires died down as if they had lost their reason to burn. The dark and earth spirits were frozen on the spot as they felt the change in elemental manas. 

As they all witnessed it the bow glowed before the wind started t take the shape of a spirit. However, this was wildly different than the poorly defined spirits that looked like fairies or pixies. This was a much more defined fairy like spirit. But larger than a fairy. "Beautiful…" This was the only whisper to escape Gil's lips.
