Master Of None

Alice looked more embarrassed that the group had just seen her and Onyx training. It was clever that she was not at all adapted to such a skill. But the almost entirely silent song had moved the light in a completely different way than they had all seen her use it. Therefore, everyone had some curiosity. It was the same case for Onyx, they all wanted to hear what he had to say about his skill while they were walking towards the chamber of the wyvern queen.

”Lullaby” the single word made all of them feel a little dumb. The lullaby skill was one that a lot of mothers got regardless of their system. It was entirely because they were mothers that they would get the skill.m then they would have the ability to sing songs softly and peacefully for a small duration. Usually ending so softly that no one would hear it for a moment.

”So you use the lullaby skill with your other skills to make the large force of light with almost no sound?” This made Walker wonder if it was the singing that was the key to Alice’s skills or if it was just the act of verbally adding will to her words. But who had to hear it to take effect? Was it just Alice? Or was it the person being affected by her skills?

Or did it not need to be heard at all since the skill was working with the light? Could it be that Alcie wasn’t singing to anyone but the light elemental mana itself? That was what seemed to make the most sense. She was a songstress, yes, but what if her unique blood since she was somehow descended to angels that had long ago left their continent made her system slightly different?

”My skill is called shadow serpents. It allows me to make the shadows in smaller images of myself to attack and bind something with them.” Onyx saw that Alice was getting a little more red faced. She was embarrassed by the attention on her. Therefore, Onyx came to rescue in a way.

”I assume they don’t have venom?” Remey seemed to be more interested in this right away. She was already imagining that onyx would trap monsters for her while she could brush in and beat them down.

”No, they are my shadows, I can’t use them well enough to give them that. I never use my venom either.” Onyx was very adamant in not using bis venom when fighting. It wasn’t because he was afraid of it, but because he knew the dangers.

The venom of an abyssal serpent was potent. Onyx knew this and Walker had seen the skill. It could easily harm monsters larger than Onyx but it could also destroy them now that Onyx had gotten much stronger. Due to this, onyx had realized the danger and the fact that he could destroy parts of monsters unintentionally. It would hurt the party overall in that means, thus, he had decided not to use his venom.

”A very effective skill that will be very helpful. Congratulations Onyx. Alice, I also think your skill will be very good to use. Many people can be healed or attacked without the enemy hearing it. I think I would want to train against you using that kind of skill. I would have to heighten my instincts.” Su was appreciating both skills for what they were and how they would force her to adapt to them.

Entangled by shadows would be troublesome for her movement. Especially since she was always working to improve her agility due to carrying heavier armor and shields as a draconic guardian. But knowing that silent attacks made of light could attack her from anywhere was rough. It would mean that she had to be able to react without thinning. A perfect chance to train her instincts.

”So a silent light attack and a silent shadow tangling attack. Pretty crazy, I’m not going to lie.” Gil was just as impressed but he was wondering if he would see them both getting higher class skills as they trained them. Especially since they had just learned them and started to push toward them due to their personal goals recently.

”It took you long enough. Terron got all of us up and ready in just a minute. Now you are all here after many!?” Ignus showed a clear annoyance for the party not being right there when things had started to change with the wyverns. Some of the youngest had already awoken and were moving near the queen. They were slightly defensive even if not all of them were her direct children.

”We are here as well. Please show us what you are planning.” The tension that came with Seran’s words as every single angel stood at the ready made everyone wonder if they were planning to have a battle right here and now. Especially since they had not wanted the wyverns to be alive at all. The ideal for the Rize empire would have been defeating the wyverns completely so that they would not be causing in further issues with the empires.

”What i am planning?” I am planning to raise them as if they were their own village. The mountains will be theirs. Your empire will need permission to pass through certain areas. They will have their young guard it. But you should understand, that also means you will have safe travels through here. A dragon’s word is unbendable. So the wyverns shall live that as well.” Teron was an earth dragon. They were stubborn and powerful. The wyverns were earth affinity was well. It was easy to believe they would have the exact same stubbornness.

”But we will make sure that it is understood when she decided to stand up and look at us.” Terron and the other royal dragon had all been looking at the wyvern queen’s body. She was still solidly curled up over her eggs but she was not breathing the same way. Her soft breathing had stopped and she was taking a long deep breath. She had heard them.

The time it was supposed to take for her to finish healing had been constantly shortened by the life mages. They had not stopped helping her since they were given the task. They had rested and some had completely passed out, which was normal for any healer. Yet, when they had woken up with enough mana, they had gone right back to the task assigned.

This wasn’t because they cared for the wyverns greatly or because they had a great attachment to their orders. They were healers. Healers sent because they were considered some of the best available at the time. Therefore, they would be pushing themselves to do the very best they possibly could based on their honor as healers and the skills they had. No healer would leave someone harmed to heal by themselves just because they had been brought back from death’s door. They would spend as much effort as needed to bring them back to near perfect condition.

As the wyvern queen’s voice rumbled, she spoke before rising up. ”I feel new.” The three words made everyone understand. They knew that the wyverns were awakening their own race and bloodline that was taking clear control. Some of the wyverns had more pronounced bone horns or spikes along their body to show this fact off.

The wyvern queen was the same. She showed off the fact that her scales had more or less regenerated where Terron had brought earth to cover the open wounds. They were different colors because they were still new and were not fully finished healing. The color would never be the same since they were scars. Yet, the scales themselves were more pointed and sharp. They would cut something by rubbing on them the wrong way.

”You are now a wyvern queen. The blood of dragons is but little in your body now. Your children will be fully pure earth wyverns. You have what you would risk everything for. Now what?” Terron did not add pressure but showed equal standing out of respect.

A deep rumble echoed before the wyvern queen took the more human form again. The rush of dust that kicked up this time was more impressive before revealing the scared face and scales from the attack. Yet, she looked somewhat calmer. Happier than before as of a large weight that had been on top of her was gone.

”Those that built our home are our reason. I will learn to rule a village first. As you and those I followed have done.” Terron seemed to like this answer and nodded his head slowly.

”Then I shall share with you the strength of earth that you have missed. Until your children hatch. After that, you will need to return this land to prosperity since you are the one that ruined it. The angels will only respect your strength if you can raise and destroy your territory with wisdom.” Seran appeared surprised at Terron’s words but the respect that appeared was true to the core. The angels would allow the wyverns to live if this was possible. A powerful dragon was saying it and they understood the potential for this to happen
