Master Of None

The sudden advantage that had been gained caused many of the soldiers to push themselves in the fights. The change was also where the mages who had been trying their best to attack were able to shine. Specifically the earth mages.

Many elemental mages carried around some of their elemental items with them. Water mages carried more water in drinking containings. Fire mages carried charcoal. Earth mages would often carry stones or earth that they kept close to their body to use as a weapon later. The other mages often had something that allowed them to use the mana around them faster.

Due to this, the earth mages finally were able to pull the stones and earth from nearby their bodies and begin to use it. They knew that once they used the earth to trap undead, that they were at a loss. They would not have it to fight any longer.

With Onyx’s attack and Midnight’s breath attack, the two had weakened and even broken off parts of the bodies of the mummified monstrosities. There were also multiple mummified high priests that were hit by the light elemental breath attack. But where things shined was how Onyx attacked with his tail.

The light elemental mana that had shown on Onyx’s body was perfect for containing the dangerous undead in front of them. But it was an inspiration. The tail that wrapped and trapped four of the mummified monstrosities made them one target and not three. This allowed the earth mages to group up and begin encasing them in the earth and stones that were always on their person.

Walker did not hesitate to join them. He used earth manipulation to assist the mages and push on the earth around the mummified monstrosities more. This additional force compressed them and broke their bodies. The process was damaging them but also trapping them. They would struggle to reform while compressed with the earth mana. Not to mention that they would be unable to receive more mana from the high mummified priests.

”Sister, slash apart those high priests!” Onyx yelled out as he retracted his tail from the earth around the monstrosities. He could not attack fast enough but Midnight was still close. She easily darted toward the high mummified priests. Her claws slashing out in her full dragon form to cut through their weak bones. Light elemental mana radiating in to them and causing their attempts to reform to fail.

While the high mummified priests found themselves broken and unable to attack, Onyx acted again. His tail was still violent and unrelenting. Without hesitation, he changed positions and scooped up the broken bodies of the high mummified priests. His strength and size were enough to force them in to a crushed ball of undead. The very same that he had done with the mummified monstrosities.

While this was only a few of the undead, this was enough to shift this battle even more. It was also enough to open a direct line to the altar that everyone had fixed in their gaze as their target. The runes that pulsed and flashed were showing that the undead around were still drawing power from it. But the altar would be gone soon.

”I will purify this place.” Rise took a heavy step forward. Everyone felt the shift in the room. The light elemental mana that was controlled by others appeared to be lost to them. What no one had realized was that Alice had ceased singing and her partner had revealed himself.

”I agree, I hate this thing. It is not at all what should be here.” Horizon, the grand light elemental spirit, had shown himself. But instead of helping Alice, he moved to float around Rise. This didn’t make Alice unhappy at all. She had stopped syncing so that she was no longer pushing at the light elemental mana that Horizon was going to push toward Rise.

As the light elemental mana shifted, a large claw of light formed behind Rise. her hand raised mimicking the appearance of the large claw made entirely of light. ”I detest these undead and their plague. This altar is the cause so I will leave my mark.” Her words were enough to make the undead shiver. If it was because they understood her or not, it didn’t matter. It might have just been the feeling of impending doom that radiated from Rise and her power over light that was their opposite.

With one swift slash, Rise struck down. Her claw directed the massive light elemental mana claw to crash on to the altar. It was a moment of silence as everyone halted to see the attack. Even the undead appeared to have felt a change. A change that stopped them from moving. Whether it was them or the one controlling them, no one would know. But with these results, the ruler of these undead surely felt something.

The crash and blinding light that followed their moment of silence was enough to shatter the stone altar. Light elemental mana pierced through the stone causing the false death runes, the darkness runes, and any other unknown runes to crack in to pieces. Nothing could resist this powerful purifying attack from a royal dragon. Something that could resist it would have to be equally or more powerful.

With the pieces of the altar crumbling around the ground, the undead lost some of their strength. Especially the mummified high priests still remaining. Now the soldiers were able to hold them back. Able to keep breaking them away from the stairs behind the altar.

Chain quest: mummified curse- fourth link- completed

Requirement: destroy the worship of the undead by eliminating the rune formation covering the sacrificial shrine of the false death god.

Reward: fifth link, 15000 experience, 15 heroic points, unique skill. Final link’

’The unique skill; purification aura, has been temporarily learned by all following this quest.

Purification aura- passive

The light purifying elemental mana will naturally form a slight aura around the user as they battle against beings that the world deems as dangerous and evil. Due to this, the attacks of the user will better harm those evil beings and take on a slightly light elemental purifying ability. This is able to cause longer term damage to undead in every way.’

The unique skill may have been temporary, but every single soldier gained it. The sudden addition of this passive skill was enough to change any battles that were still too hard. With a single reward from this chain quest, everyone had gained strength and power that helped them fight the regenerating undead.

Without any worries, Walker started to feel the changes in the skill and easily connected it to the natural mana he was already trying to use to boost others. It was as if a switch had been flipped within him. His mind instantly linked the two feelings.

’Nature’s aura has been learned due to the unique natural mana affinity and the temporary skill gained. The permanent skill, nature’s aura has been gained.

Nature’s aura- passive

The flow of natural mana and nature is a very strong thing in the world. It is guided by the world in mysterious ways while in other ways, it follows its own flow. The natural mana around the user will become more easily manipulated as it is attracted at a faster rate toward the user. It is also able to better return other elemental manas to the flow of mana that should be in the world when natural mana is used to attack or purify broken flows..’

The skill was perfect for Walker. It also didn’t say it was temporary. This would always be actively helping him with natural mana. It also helped him right this second since he could feel the ease of natural mana around him and wrapping around his sword. The eternal orb also channeled this mana in to the sword he held with ease.

’Chain quest: mummified curse- final link

Requirement: the undead pharaoh is the ruler of the mummified city. Defeat them and return the flow of nature to the cursed desert.

Reward: 20000 experience, 20 heroic points, return of the desert, removal of the cursed sands, purification of the cursed desert by the will of the world.’

Walker saw the new quest immediately pop up. He also saw that the undead above them was special. He would need to appraise it and gain more knowledge the moment his eyes caught it. But at this moment, he noticed that everyone had begun attacking the runes around that they could.

The system had rewarded them with understandings of runes with the last link. That understanding might not be clear to many, but the feelings revolving it had been. They could feel the evil in the runes. They could also pick out the key runes to destroy that would break away the control over the undead still reforming near them. This started a whole new round of rune slashing.
