Master Of None

Chapter 801 - 801. Frosty

Midnight could not contain herself, however, there was a look of worry in her eyes. She had only learned fire based attacks. Learning a water based breath attack that her golden flame heart was still supposed to help with would be a challenge nonetheless. 

"I know it sounds hard, but water is going to be much easier than you think. The toughest will be earth and light." Walkers' theory was that wind and light would be easy because of the abundance of their elemental mana around them at all times. 

The reason earth and light would be more of a challenge was simple, they had the hardest elementals to grasp in such a way. Earth would not want to move like a fire breath attack since it preferred to be slow and solid. Light was the opposite of what Midnight was sued to, however, the golden flame heart already pulled on some of the light elemental mana for the gold coloration even though it was a mix of elements, so there may be a chance Midnight could pick up a light based breath attack faster than earth. 

"We are in the perfect season for it. The sun is still strong enough that you can directly compare the heat with ice." Walker had drunk mana potions so he had the mana to manipulate the elemental mana to do what he wanted to help Midnight.. "I will make ice all around you and you can start to try and change your mana inside you to replicate it when you use a breath attack. 

Ignoring the buzzing that persisted in his mind, Walker started to pull on the water elemental mana around Midnight. As expected, it began to follow his desires faster than before he received the natural mana manipulation skill and the young sage title. These skills and title were already paying off in a major way. 

The thin frost on the ground beneath Midnights' claws continued to thicken in to a dull white ice while some of it spiked up around her. "Now, start to breathe in like we did when we were trying to change the flames from the fire in to decaying flames. The more of the water elemental mana that comes in the better." 

Walker was not expecting Midnight to jump in with such fervor that she immediately pulled a large amount of the water elemental mana within her body. The reaction was an instant regret from Midnight and Walker who jumped up to place a hand on her back and attempt to heal her slightly. 

"Slow down, last time it took you time to adjust it. If you force yourself you will hurt yourself." Walker could feel that Mifngiht was alright but she had definitely shocked herself. She was very resistant to the elements but not as much on the inside of her body as she had thought. It was a rude awakening but a necessary lesson. Walker could only imagine what things would be like if she rushed in to a more dangerous elemental mana like darkness elemental mana which she had started with. 

After Walker had calmed Midnight down and he had dispelled a lot of the large amount of water mana, Midnight started to slowly breathe in and out. Her breath had a bit of a mist which Walker could only hope was due to the difference in the warmer air and the cold breath Midnight was developing. 

Since she was busy with this, Walker started to meditate. He could feel that Midnight was following his advice and taking small amounts of the water elemental mana inside. However, there was a change in his sense. He could feel the elemental manas around him mixing a little more. The slight mixing of the earth and wind elemental mana when the soft breeze would blow over the ground. The water and earth elemental mana mixing as the ice melted and absorbed in to the dry earth. It was the fusion of all the elemental naturally. 

The more shocking part was that the natural mana was flowing with all of these things. It was like a shapeless thing touching all. Walker had been blind to this mana for so long that the additional sense of it was a shock. His body was sure that it had been there and he knew he had felt it before, but not at this level. It was much stronger than he thought. 

Yet, what was truly more shocking than all of that was when Walker focused on the nearby creeping vines. He could sense the darkness elemental mana being pulled in to the vines for them to develop the unique sap. That was not the different part though, he could also feel the nature mana being pulled in. It was flooding the vine and hardening it for the colder season. It was keeping the vine alive and even making it grow more. 

Everything was so much more than just the elemental manas. There was life and death encompassing everything around him in the form of natural mana. The combination of all the elemental manas was a small start to what caused the world to turn and Walker had been blind to it for too long. 

He may not have received skills but the more he felt this the more he could feel his understanding increasing. For an elf that had sensed nature mana their whole life, this was a drop in the bucket. But for a human, this was a major leap. It would have continued too if not for the blast of mist that hit Walker in the face. 

Midnight was taking deeper and deeper breaths making Walker sense the flow of water elemental mana increasing towards her. She had become acclimated to a degree and she was now pushing herself. It was time for him to be of help and condense the water elemental mana even more for her growth.
