Master Of None

Chapter 2300: 2300. Exterminated

The explosive potion had been filled in to the metal pipes. Walker was stepping through the air with extreme caution dropping the pipes in a way that they stuck in to the ground. Their landing was enough to cause a slight disturbance, however, with a little hunter trick, the monsters did not come out to change the terrain and clean up as they would.

The hunter trick to make a prey remain within a small burrow or den was simple. Purposefully made noise nearby so that they believed a predator was around. Meanwhile, that noise was actually just a cover as a hunter would set the real trap at the entrance of the monster’s den.

Simple but also very useful right now. The noise from other soldiers moving right beneath Walker was enough to keep the false rats from moving outside their nest to clean the area and keep their dens hidden. Walker also had the mind to keep an eye on the quick soldiers below him.

The elven archers were at the edges watching the explosive potions being left behind. They felt that the idea was wasteful since the explosive potion could have been used in another way. Yet, they were also thinking about the damage to the area when they would be done with this.

As all elves wished, they wanted to ensure that the land would not be destroyed to the point that it would be unable to survive. The world had just expanded too, therefore, seeing the world damaged even a little was touching on a soft spot.

Times had changed though. There were no monsters or common people that could consume or destroy these pests, the false rat was already strong enough to expand and make an entire area in to a different terrain. One where nothing else lived.

Worse off yet, it was just a small stage in its life. Later, it would become an extremely destructive blade fly using wind mana to kill anything and everything it needed to eat to further lay more eggs.

Not a single part of this showed any benefits for the world. Even the materials which could be taken from these monsters were not valuable enough to keep the risk of the world being damage. The previous parasites were more easily controllable because they only had one form and could be kept under control due to that. However, these were quicker in growth and could both manipulate the earth and wind.

”Blade flys!” The shout caught everyone’s attention as one of the hills broke open and five blade flies darted out.

They had a shinier brown exoskeleton and the wind had wrapped around small twigs which were their wings. They did not rely on actual physical wings and had formed the wind mana in to their wings. It was an odd sight. But when it came to odd, their eyes were the odd and scary part. Especially since they were so large and multifaceted.

The waiting archers were pulling back their wind disrupting arrows while the earth guardians slammed their shields down and forced their attention to them. As the blade flies sped toward their targets, their boosted agility because of their usage of wind mana was clear.

It would have been impossible for weaker and less trained archers to keep up with them. Even Walker had to admit that he might not be able to target them without using multiple skills since he was not a practiced archer or any form of marksman.

Yet, as the slight whistle of wind being broken through by arrows came to his ears, he saw all five of the blade flies fall to the ground. Their bodies were either slit in two or they were completely pierced through and through by arrows.

This let Walker keep moving as he noticed that the fire mages and four elder fire dragons were in place. He also noticed that Terron and the earth mages had moved in to place as well. This was paired by the feeling of water mana gathering in a larger amount than before. The plans were moving forward.

”Let’s get out of here, we are in the way.” Walker grabbed the backs of the soldiers moving around on the ground as he manipulated the water mana he could control to link them. He used a boost of wind mana to drag them to the closest edge before he gave a wave to the nearest fire dragon, who in turn, roared slightly.

This was the signal that they were prepared to use their dragon breath and that the earth attack could also begin.

The trembling of the ground was the earth mages and Terron. Their manipulation of the ground was not to destroy the area but cause the upheaval of the mirrored hills which the false rats had made.

As they did this, the nests they had made started to shift since there were hollow tunnels and burrows within. The sudden shifting caused the false rats to begin to panic since this was against what they did to keep themselves protected and hidden.

At the very same time, the blade flies hiding within had also begun to burst out. This also caused the stabbed in poles filled with explosive potions to shift and break open. Spilling out the volatile potion which would have evaporated or dried up before it was time to use them

properly.

”Fire!” This was not just an exclamation of using the dragon breath attacks and the fireballs from the mages. It was also a warning that heat was about to blast through the area.

The wicked flames which broke through the air caused everyone to lose their breath for a moment. It was an intense change in the air which was quickly stopped by the wind mages and Ventus. They all caused changes to the wind mana flow within the area to defend the forces of Genesis from the flames and heat. But also to cause the flames to direct himself inwards.

The entire area had become an intense furnace which could burn the false rats and the adult form blade flies. The swirling flames would only be there to capture the ashes at the very end. After ten minutes of this intense wind field flames, the explosive potions had been more than burned up and Remey began to yell about the end of the fires. She had carefully done the timing so that the potions would not last longer than they needed to. She was an expert in alchemy, so she knew when the flames would have naturally died down and the best time to begin the water would be.

Hence when the artificial rain began to fall, it was becoming even more intense. The steam and the cracking ground was enough to make things much harder to see and function in. Therefore, the final step began too.

Walker had also channeled his own mana and was beginning to walk in to the large area. He had not needed to worry about the heat so much since his prowess was much higher than others when it came to resistance.

However, right now, he was using the artificial rain from the mages and Current. Not to use the water to cover things more, but to freeze it.

Each step was using the dragon domain skill but in the form of ice. He was causing the steam to freeze and become snow. Causing the water pooling and cooling the ground to become sharp stabbing crystals. It was another reason that the guardians needed to remain at the

edges of this territory.

The eggs of these monsters were incredibly resilient. Hence why the plan for intense heat and fire then directly to water and frozen cold had to be done. This change was not what they would have expensed even in ancient times. Therefore, they would cause the eggs to perish and crack as well. They would not be resilient enough to deal with this issue.

While all this happened, it came to Midnight. The only one other than Onyx who had not had a major role to play at the mirrored hills area.

Instead of being there, she had been put with multiple faster moving dark and light affinity soldiers. Some dragonkin, others just in general with flying and magical skills. They had been put much further away from the area. Not for safety, but to hunt.

It was inevitable that some of the blade flies had escaped or were already looking for a new nesting place. Hence why they had been there. Midnight and some of the others had incredibly sensitive noses. They could sniff out prey from a long distance. Especially since they knew

what they were looking for.

That was why they had been successfully destroying small groups of blade flies without a single one escaping. The perimeter had already been marked and planned. Nothing was escaping here.
