Master Of None

Walker pushed forward while gathering the water elemental mana in the air to cover the blade of the scythe. It soon began to freeze and show a fully encased ice blade. ”You made me break one of my oldest weapons, but it is fair since yours broke as well.” Walker was trying to push the elf in to a corner so that they could think on their feet. 

The problem was that When Walker began to approach the elf pulled a handful of needles from his waist. This was another thrown weapons skill and it made Walker wonder just what this elves’ class was. 

There was no time to think, Walker was still using the jungle step skill with dance of the wild rabbit and began to twirl the scythe to fall in to the dance of the rabid rabbit. He wanted to pursue every enemy including the flame dolls. He was pushing himself to the extreme as well as the elves. 

’ The skill twirling blade has been taken from the blade dancer system. The skill twirling blad has been automatically learned due to multiple related movement skills.

Twirling blade- 1 mana cost

+2agi, +2 atk

The user twirls the blade they carry in their hands while moving with any movement technique. This increases threw agility by adding more momentum to their movement technique along with additional attack strength. This skill can be used with almost any blade as long as the user is at the beginner level in using the said blade.’

Walker smiled seeing this and let off a stronger elemental mana disruption around him. His mana was causing the air to feel heavier to the fact that he was starting to try and manipulate the elemental mana to increase the size of the blade of the scythe again.

The elf felt that there was a change and that they needed to attack as soon as possible. He threw five needles that were coated in a paralytic poison. This poison was made from one of the monstrous mushroom spores and could make anyone stuck with them paralyzed for hours. 

Walker twirled the scythe with more force and spun on his heels to dodge and deflect the needles. He could feel that he was making the breakthrough he needed to progress in his training with close combat. 

”I don’t know what system you have but it is very good for sneak attacks. You fail when it comes to following through and planning.” Walker arched the scythe at the elf and stopped inches before his neck. ”Try to improve on your planning.” Walker was about to back off when a flame doll modeled after Scylla rushed at him with a flame fan slashing. 

He had no choice but to block with the scythe and felt the ice melt. The rest of the blade also broke apart making the weapon useless. ”Goodbye to you one of my first weapons. I will always remember you.” Walker said his goodbye while another weapon fell below. There was another shout as it hit the ground but again Walker just brushed it off as a surprise for the other elves training. 

With the flame doll still coming after him Walker was forced to pull out his next weapon. It was a basic spear that he could use to practice his quick jab skill. It was not the highest quality but the wandering blacksmith had made it along with the many other basic weapons Walker had requested. He was a walking armory of sorts with all of these weapons. 

Just as he was about to use his quick jab skill and most likely destroy the flame doll Scylla the elf appeared behind it. With a single dagger, the elf struck downwards on the base of the flame dolls’ neck. There was only a second of calm before the elf slashed the dagger out and cut off the flame dolls’ head. There was a concussive bang that forced Walker and the elf apart. 

”I am one of the few assassination system users in my kingdoms’ history. It is not usually one that is welcomed but the future is full of uncertainty. Past users of this system have taken care of grave threats to our people.” The elf told Walker this and gave a slight bow. He then used a skill very similar to Mifnights’ shadow wrapping and blended in with the darkness again.

Walker was stunned by this. The attack had been perfect with the single dagger and easily destroyed the flame doll. Not only that but the else also immediately hid themselves before moving on. It was a sound strategy he had seen Midnight use and he was excited to see it used elsewhere. He just had the hope that the elf had learned a good lesson from their lack of planning ahead. 

There was not one less flame doll around to torment the elves but Walker knew that it would not change the difficulty of their training. He had already met three of them in battle leaving the leader of the trainee elite enforcers and one other he could not see anywhere. This made him worry for another assassin system user but was quickly proved wrong when he as and heard the explosion of a certain rabbit eared flame doll. 

The elf that had caused it was flung back on to one of the platforms barely able to grab the edge and not fall. Walker wanted to rush toward them and make sure they did not fall when the elf suddenly jumped up stepping on the air like stairs. Walker was su[prised to see that there was a wind strider system user in the elite elf trainee squad. He had been led to believe that these were elves that only filled communication based jobs in the elf city. He was excited to challenge them and see what tricks they were hiding.
