Master Of None

Chapter 2344: 2344. New Poisons

”Gil, fire arrow!” The moment that Walker called out, Gil was already in motion before Walker had even called up the fire mana to improve the fire arrow that Gil was letting fly.

The added fire mana massively increased the flames swirling around the fire arrow. So much so that the arrow itself lost form. The only thing holding it together were the fire runes originally carved on the arrow to make it attract even more fire mana. This was the base that allowed Walker’s mana to gather there and enhance the effects.

The result was a much greater fire arrow made of pure fire heading right for another of the rage filled howler wolves. When it impacted, it burst in to flames which forced the other howler wolves back. They might not have felt the pain of burns from the attack that spilled out on to them, but they still reacted to the sudden burst of fire that made them blind for a second. It was a natural instinct.

Gil continued to fire more of the fire arrows to help a few of the still conscious mages make a small wall of flame. Walker on the other hand, focused on the sound of the ringing and forced himself to buff his body more.

He could feel his legs acting a little heavier. It was not normal for him to be so affected by some sort of poison or mana in general. It was extremely odd. He couldn’t smell anything strange and was already putting the idea that this was a pollen out of his mind. If that was the case he would have noticed the scent or seen it in the air.

Meaning that there was something else that this plant type monster was using. Some form of mana based skill that was causing the goblins to begin to fall and for the vampires who should have been very resistant to poisons to fall before everyone else.

Looking at the ground, Walker found one of the dragonkin warriors barely keeping himself standing. From what Walker could tell, his eyes were red and his nose was running. The same as if he had a head cold or serious sickness. Even some people with allergies would react this way, but when he tried to use a purification skill, it did nothing.

Instead, Walker felt the mana around him change and the dragonkin soldiers seemed to become a little more active before the next ringing sound was heard. Then the dragonkin warrior stumbled to barely catch himself on one knee. He had lost his entire ability to fight. He became a sitting duck.

But Walker was close enough now. He could see the collapsed vampires and the barely functional goblin fighters who had been defending them.

’Sound poison flower

This monster mixes its mana with pollen and manipulates the wind mana. By doing so, it can make its scentless and tasteless pollen flow through the wind mana and in to the body of prey around it. Even causing dangers to the larger and more resistant predators that may come to eat its condensed roots.

The pollen is less of a pollen and more similar to a venom when it comes to the world of poisons and venoms. However, ingesting it will also cause damage to the one in contact with it. The pollen causes the sounds made by the hard seeds and wind mana within the moving flower to interrupt mana flow.

It is somewhat similar to a mana poisons. It will affect those who are more reliant in manas than those who are less reliant on manas. It is a natural enemy for races that need certain manas to survive. Specifically undead races or monsters that require higher amounts of mana to survive on a regular basis.

The spirit race and elemental spirits hate this monster since they are primarily made up of mana. This caused the elemental spirits and spirit race to suffer immensely. Only those that possess opposing elemental manas can more easily resist them. Very few races and monsters can resist these creatures. Normally those that have unique...’

Walker was feeling the effects of this mana poisons or venom or whatever the pollen of this moving flower was. The deep red flower was like a bell, inside were dark brown seeds that rang every time they touched the petals. Deep brown colored roots spread from it, proving that it was more than just a new monster.

Even worse, Walker could tell that the flower monster he was looking at had moved its roots to begin wrapping the vampires already. It had noticed prey and begun to move. Afterwards, it had tried to pull them in to the ground where it would use their nutrients for its own benefits.

Feeling the mana even closer, Walker could sense that the wind mana was moved exceptionally carefully. The extremely high degree of care that the sound poison flower had over wind mana was bringing the pollen which he could not even see because it was so small all around him. The flower might not have eyes as a plant type monster, but it could feel the changes in the wind mana all around it. Causing it to follow and target things nearby.

”You think that your fine wind mana control will beat my ability to manipulate it in massive amounts?” Walker ignored the feeling in his head and began to pull away the wind mana. Completely isolating the flowers.

The sudden change in wind mana and then the following entry isolation caused the flowers to begin moving erratically. They tried to ring the seeds in their flowers against the petals without any success. This made the goblins nearby immediately begin to snap out of what they had been under the influence of.

”You were able to resist because goblins rely on the manas around them much less than other species like the vampires do.” Walker smirked while saying this. He mostly said it to himself, but he was glad he understood this new monster.

The vampires relied on mana around them because they had been a magic focus species for generations. The magic they could use was related to blood and even other manas like dark mana and the rare death mana, if they even realized it was death mana. Regardless, because their long life spans pushed them toward magic skills and magic in general, they rarely became anything else other than magic related classes or before, magic related system users. This was not his focus any longer. It was the roots which had begun to draw back in. With the wind mana to control, the monsters were terrified. These wind poison flowers had lost all power they had, something that would never happen for them. They would never have been in a situation like this unless very specific monsters that ate them appeared, and even then, they would have chance.

”Have the healers with the best mana control begin to use their purification skills. Focus on the lungs and the nose. That is how they will get rid of the poison that we are under the effects of.” Walker began to use his own skill. He was using life mana as well within his body to speed up his natural resistance.

The reason that walker had not noticed this poison was because he was using a lot of mana around him. Because of the howler wolves, he was too focused on how he would enhance the mages that he did not feel the tinies of poisons in the air being manipulated.

”Walker, back off!” Gil fired five arrows in quick succession. The sounds of wind breaking the normal speed that any arrow could move was shocking enough. But the targets were each of the flowers which had retreated and been moving around violently. To top it off, Gil had also hit two of the howler wolves trying to sprint at them.

”We have injuries to handle and more things to do. The poison did not bother me much so far so stick to getting rid of that poison.” Gil knew very well that whatever it was, Walker was better at right now. He was also sure that the howler wolves were easier targets for him. He just needed to use more powerful arrows against them.

Without much of a motion, Walker started to use purification skills on the others. The vampires needed treatment since the pollen would not leave their bodies. But what Walker was also realizing, was that there were mana poisons.

He had not missed that in the all around appraisal of the sound poison flowers. If there was such a thing, then that meant it was the enemy of the mages and anyone else who used their mana heavily. Potentially even those who just used a little mana here and there.
