Master Of None

The elder dark mage skeleton tried again to attack. The triangles of dark mana sliced through their air and were swiftly shattered by a single swipe of the scaled figure’s clawed hands. The claws had extended with light mana as it had prepared to fight in that manner. Further proving that it was extremely powerful, the figure darted through the air and grabbed the skeleton’s head. The dark mana that poured out was the final attempt to destroy the opponent that it had been called out to fight. It was one of the more powerful skeletons that the immortal king could call on. Yet here it was, being crushed. The shattering skill was suddenly full of flight as the figure poured out purifying light mana all around the skeleton. ”And that’s why i said it, it is much more powerful than the elder dark mage skeleton. But it could have used more mana if it wanted to.” Walker’s calmness made the others figure that they weren’t in danger. However, as the figure lost focus on the remnants of the skeleton, its eyes narrowed and looked at them. Walker just waved slightly. ”Can you tell us what it is now?” Gil’s worries weren’t unfounded, but the others seemed to be a little less stressed now than they had been before. He had already figured it was something familiar. ”What kind of dragon is it?” ’Light Dragonoid This is a species of dragonkin that has lived within the elemental planes serving the various forms of dragons for many years. As such, it has developed more defined scales, mana affinity, and similar methods of purifying its own manas. As such, it has lost some of the bulkier muscles that dragonkin were known for and became more lean. Its strength is much higher than it had been since the muscles now use the higher density manas to be able to feed its body. The greater the manas that it consumes the stronger it will be. In service to dragonkind, these beings will follow any order from the dragon that it serves. It will also go out of its way to eliminate threats that enter its dragon’s territory. Often known as the dragon’s might by lesser races. They will spend years purifying the small amounts of dragon blood within them, as such, they will have a very small chance to become a proper dragon over the course of a thousand years if they are able to survive that long while purifying themselves using their specific mana affinities. When they grow wings, they are proving that they have managed to take that important step.

The longer…’

Walker knew that Gil could use the all around appraisal skill because he had gained it from using the magical scrolls enough. But since this was an odd and somewhat intimidating situation, it made sense that he wasn’t thinking properly. However, the light dragonoid had already taken a step toward them. The light mana gathering in apprehension since it did not know what was happening. It could see Midnight and that she was a dragon. But a weak and young dragon. She could see that Su was a half dragon, something that hadn’t been seen in years, just spoken of. Even stranger, it could sense Walker. The uniqueness of his mana and the fact that everything about him screamed dangerous. It also seemed to scream that he was also some form of dragon in a way. That was the power of the royal dragon’s honoring him as their royal nature dragon. He had a title to prove it as well. ”I think I am going to show off a little to make sure we get respect. The dragonoids are very territorial for their dragons. They serve to protect their dragon’s territory from whatever may cause risks. And this place where manas are thinner and unbalanced must be where the dragon currently is.” Walker’s explanation wasn’t because he knew they didn’t grasp what was going on. They all knew now. He was warning them that he was going to manipulate a larger amount of mana. He had to utilize the recovered strength he had just from coming here. His body had greatly acclimated to manas. His level rising even above what it had been just by the fact that denser and purer elemental manas nourished his being. The changes that he felt though, were in the manas and the skill he had intended to use. Walker had wanted to use the very same skill that had used manas to cloak himself in them. To look like a regain in a draconic form while protecting his body. However, his body had let the manas he gathered bedspread out more. Even beyond that, he sensed that he could pull at all the elemental manas at once. This caused the light dragonoid to freeze in place. The density of manas shocked it while the manas formed. ’The skill, the nature dragon’s descent has been taken from… the skill nature dragons descent has been altered due to the origin race using it…’

’The skill, true dragons’ form has been awakened.’

’True dragon’s form- requires true dragon blood or origin race. Must have an understanding of all elemental manas. Must have a growing understanding of additional manas. Must have…

First form, a six headed dragon form, each head made of elemental manas condensed by the understanding of the origin race or true dragon wielding the skill. These can attack with the will of the user of this skill. Using elemental manas simultaneously. This allows for a larger scale battle and stands as a symbol of true power amongst the dragon race. This skill is often only released during important times to show the strongest of the dragons. It has been many years since this skill was witnessed by other dragon blood. Mana absorption is massively boosted along with mana resistance to the six elemental manas. Second form, fuses all the dragon heads to create the nature dragons’ form. A powerful natural mana based form that requires true dragon blood line or origin race to wield. Understanding of all elemental manas is needed along with how they come together in various ways to create natural mana. This is the peak form of this skill since it uses all elemental forms at the same time. Alters them and is able to use various forms of attacks including the mending of elemental planes, the world, and other balancing effects. It is also possible to create chaos. Third form, the one above all dragons. This utilizes life, death, space, time, creation, destruction…. Laws of existence that can only be wielded by the origin race. A true dragon can never use this form of skill unless they have released their race and become an origin race. Something that has only happened twice in history since creation. Using the laws of existence are incomprehensive. The forms taken are impossible to comprehend and using this form of the skill can not even be attempted without extreme cost and understanding of all things…’

There was so much that Walker did not understand as six heads of elemental dragons were above him and moving according to his will. The rest of the party was blocked inside the manas around him as he had wanted to make sure that they were safe white he showed off his might. This had not been his intention, but happened organically as he had tried to use a skill that he had used before. To the light dragonoid though, he was a powerful being that had come here and it had disrespected them. ”We are hunting a criminal. You just defeated one of their undead. Speak and tell us what you may know.” The light dragonoid bowed its head fleeing the immense elemental pressure covering it. However, Walker soon heard another voice. ”You are not of the elemental planes. You are also greater than those from here. You are not attacking my underling, but you are showing it that it should respect you. As such, I thank you for not killing them for such actions. I was slumbering here and did not sense you clearly to greet you.” Out of the light mana nearby, a slim figure of a dragon appeared. Its body was twisting in an elegant dance with light mana. Intricate horns trailed around it as if they were hand blow glass trapping rainbows. The form of this dragon was very different from what Walker knew. ”That’s the light devourer dragon, isn’t it?” Remey recalled what they had been told about the dragons here being different. ”You’re right, it is.” Su’s agreement made everyone feel that they were not only seeing something amazing, but about to learn way too much. The manas began to dissipate very quickly as Walker felt the strain hit his body. But he maintained his composure while the light devourer dragon changed its form to a more humanoid one similar to the light dragonoid. …
