Master Of None

While Ciel had protected everyone from the brutal water beam attack from the mother kraken, the rest of the army was still hard at work defeating the kraken spawn and eggs in the nest. The next roar did not come from a dragon, however. This was the battle roar from the city as hundreds of able bodied merfolk rushed out from the underground bunker they had been hiding in. 

”My people are here, fight to the end! Stand Tall! Show the world your Will!” Aaron’s yell was echoed by Leon and every single merfolk around. This energy between them was nothing to laugh at. Every king had skills that would strengthen their people and this was one of them. The king had called them to arms and they would not allow their people to suffer. Their city was created to rise not to fall. 

The additional merfolk caused the battle to become even more efficient. All of those that were struggling soon found the additional help behind them and to their sides. Those that had been lost on the ink were being freed and looking at the merfolk mages that had been unable to escape their city. 

Walker had been reserving mana as he battled so that he could survive the long battle. But with the reinforcements and the way the battle with the mother was going, he channeled a large portion of his mana in to the multi buff skill. Normally he would not force the skill to a wider range due to the large amount of mana needed. But this was different. This would push everyone to the limit and finish the battle much faster now that they had the advantage. 

The wave of mana that left Walker was enough to boost everyone in the Genesis force. The close combat around the nest only went to help everyone in range. Even the dragons and Scylla fighting above him received the buff. Walker had over extended himself slightly, yet it worked out even better because the forces that were still leaving the city to join them were affected as well. 

”The heroes stand with us! Finish this and help the dragons!” The shout came from the tamer with the ghostly prawns. He had been sneaking about the battlefield targeting the larger kraken and helping where he could. His goal was to slowly weaken the kraken spawns’ overall strength until they had won ever everything. The sooner that happened the sooner he would be able to attack the mother and truly test his skills. 

There was a change in Alice’s song to the song of healing. She had done what she could for those that were trapped in the ink and the remaining ink was mostly on top of the water. She now had to help with those injured. The battle healers had already begun to create a small camp around her. 

Su and Midnight had taken up positions to fight off any of the remaining kraken spawn trying t come near the injured as well. Midnight was also helping move those in heavier armor to a position closer to Alice to receive better healing. Onyx had risen from Alice’s shoulder and was keeping any debris from coming near the injured. Walker could feel that Onyx was barely holding on to his consciousness due to exhaustion. He wanted to rush over and help Onyx but the battle was not yet over. 

”Bow to the royals. Become dust beneath my feet. Fall in to extinction. Feel my crushing pressure deep beneath the surface.” The echoing voice of Current caused the water to become still. There was not a single wave while everyone continued to fight through the kraken nest. The mother kraken suddenly became frantic and attempted to strike out with her remaining tentacles. Scylla’s leviathan partners released the mother kraken and rushed away. 

A single small bubble of condensed water shot from Current toward the mother Kraken. ”Shredding whirlpool or pure Water!” The finished chant revealed the massive whirlpool which sucked in the mather kraken and any nearby kraken spawn. It was miraculous to see the mastery skill of an ancient dragon that could cause such a massive change in the ocean. Not a single ally was moved out of place. The control of this skill was above and beyond any other skill that Walker had ever witnessed. 

The mother kraken tried to escape but it was fruitless. The battle was ended with this final move. The massive amount of water elemental mana that Current had used was too much to say he would be able to do anything for some time. Cile and Adair were visibly lowering him to the sandy bottom while the whirlpool faded revealing the battered and defeated kraken body. 

”Walker, Mana potion now!” Gil was there with Alma who was pale and breathing heavily. The enforcers that had escaped their battles surrounded them in protection as Walker cast a healing spell on Alma while also handing Gil the highest tier mana potion he had in his storage. 

It only took a few moments for Alma to begin to look rosy cheeked and peaceful but the shock that Gil had felt was all too real. ”Stay here and guard her. She has proven her worth many times over as the forest elf representative of Genesis.” The enforcers glanced at Walker slightly when he had said this and he could tell it was out of respect. Gil on the other hand had totally missed Walkers’ words due to his focus and worry about Alma.

”We charge home to clean up the city!” Leon had shouted using all of his might and adrenalin. His father had already started to move toward the city but Walker held himself back. The merfolk deserved the honor of taking their own city back. Nothing but respect from the other races existed as they watched the merfolk return to their loved ones.
