Master Of None

Chapter 932 - 932. Train The Moonlight

The moment the moon began to rise, the werewolf began to gain more power similar to the power he had the previous night. It was not an unknown fact that the shifting of a werewolf was more powerful when it came to a full moon. That was why this was the perfect time to lure it out and capture it. They would be arrogant and easily fall in to a trap. Walker again was impressed by the king before he rushed to fortify the earth shackles that adorned the werewolf. 

There wasn't even room for the werewolf to struggle which put many of the guards at ease. They knew that without the previous plans from the party that they would have been seriously injured. "Sir hero, my squad will watch over the prisoner for the night. Please rest." The guards were from the inner castle and did not know Walker's father as the outer wall guards did. Therefore they showed a less friendly and more business like attitude towards him. 

"Thank you. I want to take advantage of the mana and meditate more." The real reason he decided this was because Fleur was still pulling for his attention to do so. The more natural mana she got ahold of the more she would grow. It was very clear to her that the party was always trying to get stronger. Since she was still learning things she took the chance to copy this mentality and absorb more natural mana at all times. 

"Brother. The moonlight might not be as strong, but I think I can use that to train. I will go a little way from camp just in case." It was not expected that Onyx would be leaving alone for a short time but Walker knew he would be safe. Onyx could always hide away in the shadows of the night if something dangerous happened. 

"Good luck. I think training now will make it harder but you will grasp the light elemental nature better." Onyx wanted to train his skills with light elemental mana. He had the darkness elemental affinity and this let him consume light elemental mana. But since he consumed it, Onyx had the ability to use and manipulate the light elemental mana as well. He had just avoided it. 

Onyx slithered through the ice realizing that he was much too cold and would be unable to stop his movements or else he would become too cold and fall in to a slumber. This was one big downside of being a serpent type monster. Luckily, he had been consuming the light elemental mana all day while traveling and he could absorb enough from the moonlight to be able to function safely. 

His short travel gave him the discovery of a small clearing in the grasses and small trees along the main road. The area was at one point a small pool of water that froze over as the ice and snow came with the season. This was good for him since he needed the space. 

Some time ago, Onyx had learned to make a spike from his dark elemental mana. But he had not used it too much since he needed to be in contact with the shadow of the opponent. This attack was only good if he was able to take the enemy by surprise. However, it raised the question, can he use this attack with light elemental mana instead? Can he create a spike of light elemental mana? 

With this goal in mind, Onyx began to pull the light elemental mana toward himself. His goal was to use the natural pull of light elemental mana from feeding to condense the mana in to a form he could use as a spike or blade. The process was much slower than in the heat of the sun but it was good. The smaller amount of light elemental mana forced Onyx to have more control over it. 

His body constantly moved in circles while gathering the mana. The fact that it was better for him to keep moving in the cold was an added challenge. He would need to keep moving in combat so training while moving just made sense. 

Light elemental mana began to get more and more dense around him causing the look of his body to glow. His black scales had light around them and he could feel that if he didn't consume the light elemental mana he would lose the control he had been working with. Onyx imagined the darkness elemental spike that would from shadows. But instead, he imagined it made from a piercing light that could force the darkness away. 

This process began to form in the air around him. Unlike the dark spikes, the light was coming from the sky and that was where they formed. The light naturally came down from the sun and moon sop it made sense as Onyx felt the light changing shape to form his will. The shadows normally rested on the ground so it also made sense that the dark spikes would come from below. 

The process clicked in Onyx's mind and he felt everything begin to form faster. His eyes took sight of five floating white spikes of light that he could cause to fall at will. The skill was already on his system. "Falling light…if I use this I can help everyone better." The night training was a success in his mind. But the draw of light elemental mana was very high for him to deal with and only after a few hours he was forced back to the camp to curl up by the fire with Midnight and rest for some time. 

Onyx would have never known it, but a familiar face had crept nearby to watch over his training. "I told you that little cutie was going to train. I told you he would learn something amazing!" Zephyr had dragged Gil from his arrow carving to watch over Onyx. The things she said were indeed true. He was glad to see that Onyx might be able to be a long ranged attacker with him on the battle field.
