Master Of None

Chapter 908 - 908. Experimental Shifting

Walker looked at the difference in the shaping of the morning start compared to the other weapons he had made. The handle would need to be a little thicker due to the fact that his level was higher. The weight at the end with the spikes would also need to be adjusted to match the size of the handle. 

Once a clear image had reached his mind, Walker began to will the eternal orb to change shape from the armor he had been wearing it as. The clicking and shifting metal sounds caused the diamond shaped plates to become the spikes and the crystal remained round and covered by the other plates. The vine rings changed and became the handles that also held the top of the morning star. 

In the end, Walker had a slightly larger version of the morning star that was shown in the book that Alice had presented. She scrutinized it as if she were a teacher guiding a student. The comparison was welcomed since Walker was going to need to study the weapons more in detail to change the eternal orb in to better versions of each weapon. The fear of breaking the eternal orb by improperly changing it was also present within Walker's thoughts. 

"Let's try the next one." Walker was liking this idea. He was going to pull out the basic weapons the wandering blacksmith had made him and try to copy them, but this method made the weapons he needed to change the eternal orb in to random. Not knowing would make him think faster and be able to better adapt to what would happen in real life. He would never have the time to look at the weapons he had in his storage before shifting the eternal orb. 

There was a glint of mischief in Alice's eyes as she flitted through the pages and presented the next item. "That's not a weapon." Walker felt that he would be shown only weapons. But Alice had presented him with a cape this time. It explained her face as she tried to hold back giggles. "Alright, a cape. Let's see."

The eternal orb began to shift again. The diamond shaped plated became the flowing fabric of the cape. The vines became what held them together and it moved around. The most surprising part was the crystal orb. It split in to two even round obs that rest on Walkers' shoulders. Fleur playfully examined it and even stole away a little of the natural mana from the eternal orb to replenish her own. 

"It moves the way I want it and it boosts my magical defensive stats. I can use this to block magical attacks. This is so cool!" Walker twirled around showing off the cape which made Alice finally break down in laughter. The scene of him liking the cape and showing it off was pure gold. "What's next!?" Walker had found his excitement and wanted another challenge. The eternal orb was a mystery to him and he wanted to see what it could become. 

The next picture Alice showed was from another book. "Hmm, a double sword attacked with a chain in the middle of the two handles? I don't even know how someone would use this. But…Let's try it." Walker had never seen anyone use such a weapon but began to look at every detail. His focus could not be interrupted and he willed the eternal orb to shift yet again. 

The sword blades formed from the diamond shaped plates easily. The handles again were the vines. The most amazing aspect was the chain between them. The crystal orb instead of being in the sword aspects changed shape and became the crystal chains. The elemental mana was surging inside. This was again beyond what he had expected. 

When Alice flipped to the other side and showed Walker more information about the swords he understood. "You showed me a magical weapon! This is too much!" It was a fire elemental sword pair that could absorb fire elemental mana from magical attacks or the atmosphere. Then it could store it in the chain and release thrown blades made of fire elemental mana to attack. It was a rare weapon not used by many that was forged in the desserts. 

"I can't believe that it can shift in to magical weapon forms. The runes even changed slightly to copy what is in the picture." The fact that the runes could change themselves too was an even more dominating fact about the eternal orb. This made it truly one of a kind and perfectly suited for Walker. It was exactly like him in every way; it could be anything.

"Next!" Alice was enjoying this activity much more than she thought she would. She was also learning from the way Walker would manipulate the eternal orb to shift. This could be compared to how she willed the light elemental mana to change in to the forms that she desired. Her skills had grown slightly while she trained them but she knew that she had not reached her true potential. 

Yes, Alice was mainly a healer. Her music could cause the light elemental mana to heal others. But since she was not only a healer she would be able to change light on to a weapon or if she wanted a shield. She could be the best supporter out there that used her songs to stand beside the person she looked up to most in the world. It was also one thing that inspired her to write new songs that could be used to battle monsters while traveling. 

"This one is… I have no idea how it will shift in to a small bracelet like that, but I will try." Alice had forgone the book and presented the bracelet that Walker had given her as a gift. He started to imagine the eternal orb changing shape. However, he was surprised again. Instead of just one bracelet, multiple formed on both of his arms. The mass of the eternal orb was too great and could not be compressed in to one small bracelet. "I guess there are limits to how small or large the eternal orb can become. I won't be trying to make it so small again." The two laughed at the twenty bracelets that lined Walkers' arms before finding another item to shift in to.
