Master Of None

Chapter 824 - 824. Light Absorption

"Alice! You can attack with light too!?" Walker was hit pretty hard with the realization that he had never actually asked or learned about Alices' capabilities. He had only ever known her to heal using her skills and not condense light to a point that she was able to create something physical. Overall, this was a pretty big shock and lesson to him for not being able to pay attention well enough. 

The smile on Alices' face showed that she was happy that she had surprised Walker, however, she was not going to let it cause her to lose her own focus. Her eyes were locked on Su, "No armor." She knew that Su wanted light elemental resistance and that her armor would cause her not to gain it as well as she wanted.

Su was slightly confused still but since Alice was ordering it for the training she stripped down to her normal clothing that she wore underneath the thicker armor. It exposed her arms more which worried her since that was one of the thinnest places in her armor anyways due to the maneuverability she needed for her shields. 

"I see now, Su. Alice might attack you but you need to block with your body more. That is condensed light elemental mana so you will be forced to resist it with every strike. If you armor blocked it-"

"Then I would have lost out on the training and it would have been a waste of time and mana." Su caught up easily and Walker smiled while reaffirming his hold on the light elemental mana he could feel around. The condensing started again and the area felt and looked brighter. Event he plants in the garden appeared to perk up a little more to absorb the light they would normally during the day. 

Midnight was of the opposite feeling, however. She was naturally a dark elemental affinity monster because of her mothers' blood. The dragon champion bloodline may have awakened and been upgraded by the system yet, that did not mean that Midnight was not uncomfortable around such high volumes of light elemental mana which was in contrast to the dark elemental mana she was used to. 

There was also the fact that she could tell that her shadow wrapping skill was unusable right now. The light elemental mana would leave her open for the world to see no matter what. Even if she hid behind someone in their shadow she would still be unable to disappear as well as she usually could. 

"Alight, light elemental mana is bright and we all saw how that pure light griffin used it to attack in a bright beam. That should be a good vision to have in your mind when you condense the mana and push it out of your mouth." Walker knew that having a solid vision when trying to train the light elemental breath attack would be all too valuable for Midnight. 

The worry that Midnight had was clear to Onyx and Walker prompting them to think of a way for her to become more acclimated to the mana that she was not comfortable with. "Sister, brother, I will start to absorb the light elemental mana and try to share how I feel with you. We are bound together after all." Onyx had the smart idea to try and share the feeling he had when he would absorb the light elemental mana to eat. If he was successful then both Walker and Midnight would be able to feel the same sensation without actually doing it. This could open their eyes to the way the light elemental mana would feel and flow. 

Midnight knew that she would gain the most from this. If she could feel how the light elemental mana would permeate a body, then she would be able to understand how to take it and hold it inside her body before expelling it in a breath attack. Paired with the memory of the pure light griffins' attack, she would be able to much more easily use the light elemental breath attack. But this was all in theory, she needed to try it all first. 

"I will try to pull the elemental mana toward you specifically. Just hold on for a minute." Walker was sure that he could do this but light elemental mana was being pulled toward Alice who was striking out towards Su, who easily deflected every strike with a shield. However, Su was moving slowly to allow the might elemental mana to have an effect on her. 

The mana began to be pulled towards them and Onyx curled up into a coil in front of Midnight and Walker. He started t glow slightly between his scales as the light elemental mana was pulled in to his body. Walker was closing his eyes to focus on the feelings that were coming through to him from Onyx. 

Since Walker was the middle man, Midnight was in turn feeling what Onyx was doing through him. The feeling of a tingling warmth was the sensation that Onyx experienced when he pulled the light elemental mana through his scales. This was then met with the slight pins and needles feeling hitting his muscles. From there it would become warm and powerful. This final feeling was something that pushed him to grow and want more of the light elemental mana. 

The part that Midnight focused on was the way the mana traveled from the scales to the muscles to the bones. This would allow her to guide the mana in to her lungs and be pushed out when she breathed out and flexed her neck muscles. It would also allow her to understand how she would be able to allow the mana around her to fuel the attacks she used without directly condensing and breathing them in. She could pull the elemental manas in through her skin in the same way as Onyx. It was enlightening.
