Master Of None

”It can throw wind blades when it has a wind tail. It can also add the other element to the wind blade so-” The lunar priestess was sharing what she knew from previous experience when the twin tail moth did just what she was saying.

The wind blade carried darkness elemental mana and was sent directly at Gil who had just fired an arrow at it. The light exploded in their eyes but also forced the darkness element from the wind blade. Su was able to more easily block the wind blade and was only pushed back a foot. ”Thanks Gil.” She moved back in to place waiting for the next attack to block.

Wade released some arrows in quick succession at the twin tail moth and managed to hit the tail holding the wind elemental mana. ”Perfect!” Wade had hit the spot he was aiming for even though the twin tail moth was flying erratically.

The wind elemental mana was not able to stay within the moths’ tail and erupted out of it causing evenm more damage. As it fell from the air the darkness elemental mana burst out and decayed the body as a repid rate.

The group had reached a small lull and was keeping vigilant since they could still hear the sounds of the enforcers fighting. ”I hope they are alright. They sound like they are involved in some tough fighting.” Trish voiced her concern as she opened a small vial and throw the contents in to the air. The smell was sour but bearable. 

”What did you just throw everywhere?” Gil was pinching his nose. The smell as disgusting to him and no one wanted to ask Midnight what she thought. If anything she just suffered through it silently.

”It is a crystallized jewel bug blood. They are the smelliest bugs but they produce the smell to fend off predators. They are shiny and eye catching but not worth going near. Thus smell deters many monsters in the forest. I hope it helps.” Trish knew that it might jot do much against the two insect monsters but it was something. 

For a few minutes the smell appeared to be working. This was the desired effect and they were all able to recover their whits. The sudden attack had been too much to handle on top of everything and was taxing their minds. 

”The sounds of fighting are dying down over there. Should we call out?” Gil was curious about what was happening with the enforcers. He wanted more than anything to hear another voice saying that the butterflies and moths were all defeated. 

The entire group had the feeling that things were too quiet. ”The azure butterflies would usually be more chaotic than this. There were so few I am not sure why they are like this.” the lunar priestess was just sharing from the previous experiences. Unfortunately, this was not a good sign for everyone else. 

The group saw a flash from the nearby forest and felt the hair stand on their necks. The loud book that echoes around them was extremely familiar to the party. After their ears recovered Walker was able to speak clearly. ”That was lightning. Something just used lightning out there.” 

”Brother, the enforcers are retreating to us. They say there is a mutated twin tail moth.” Onyx was the only one that had been able to descend the tree due to its large size. He had been picking off the azure butterflies by himself from the ground. Walker had let him protect from there since he couldn’t imagine what it would be like if they came from under them. 

”Tri tailed moth. It’s a tri tailed moth.” The lunar priestess had become deathly pale after hearing this. 

”They can have three tails and three elements!?” Wade was comparing the strength of the twin tailed moth and knew that adding another element was much more powerful. 

”It takes three elements to make basic lighting. Water, fire, and wind. This tri tailed moth will have those and be able to combine them. We need to get to the ground so I can make an earth wall to protect us.” Walker knew that the earth was the only strength against the lightning that he could use. 

Su, don’t try and block its attacks. I don’t think your shield will block all the damage and you could be taken down after one hit.” Su was unhappy to hear this but did not argue. ”Now down we go.” 

Trish and the lunar priestess both carried Remey while Midnight acted as their guard. Walker was also watching and used his multi buff skill again. This made everyone better able to get down the tree in an efficient manner. 

”Duck!” Su saw a blue flash from the corner of her eye and no sooner had called out than a water bolt had flown over Trish’s head. 

”Thank you for the warning. Now let me take care of this.” The look on Trish’s face was pure rage. She had almost lost her head to some weak monster. She whipped two potions at it and instead of a ball of flame this time the burning and sizzling of acid filled the air. 

”Acid from a swamp alligator species will always digest its’ prey.” Trish had rarely used this monster material and was reminded of why. Its danger was too high and was dissolving a monster in front of her eyes. 

”Keep up, I will make some walls from the earth when we get down. I will use my high earth sculpting to keep us safe.” Walker was shouting as she moved down the tree. He had taken Trish’s place and carried almost all of Remey’s weight. The surprising part was that the lunar priestess was keeping up with him and lifting more than he had expected. 

As soon as they reached the ground they knew that they were in for more trouble. The flowers that had bloomed due to the full moon were almost all occupied by azure butterflies.
