Master Of None

Chapter 353: 353.To Turn The Tide

”Stay focused on the enemy! Alma get back to a safe distance. I will get a healing potion to heal him.” Walker took charge and made sure that not a single person was harmed due to the shock of the attack taking down Wade.

He rushed to Wadeʼs side pushing Alma to get back to her role in the battle. She was reluctant to move but Walker gave her a look that made her shiver to her very core. She clenched her jaw and forced herself to get back to protecting the forest. She knew that if Wade awoke and the forest was gone because they had fawned over him and shirked their duty he would be crushed.

”Wade, can you hear me?” Walker was trying to get Wade awake but found that he was only able to open one eye and mumble a bit. His arm was twisted at a strange angle and The slime was slowly decaying the skin on his broken arm. ”I am going to use an antidote potion on your arm first just tough it out.”

Walker knew that the pain from the antidote potion fighting off the decay would be intense, but if he did not use the potion on Wade then he could lose the arm he needed to be an archer. The potion Walker used easily covered the decay, there was an intense amount of bubbling which caused the darkness elemental mana that caused the decay to steam off like a poisonous smoke.

Walker realized that he would need multiple potions to get rid of the decay. The minimized slime body had been much more concentrated which made the decay more potent. He used three of the antidote potions before the wound had started to show its true depths.

Wade had lost a lot of his skin on his arm but Walker could tell that he had acted fast enough and the muscles were still intact. While he had spent the time at the cathedral he had managed to pick up a lot of random, healing knowledge. He was able to take a pair of sticks and pull out some bandages he had prepared in his inventory.

His mother had made sure that he had all the basic first aid supplies before he left.

The splint he made was enough to stabilize the arm and he proceeded to use his light heal skill to make sure Wade had the healing process started. Next Walker slowly poured some of a low tier health potion in Wadeʼs mouth. Wade was still only semi conscious and was having a hard time with the pain from his injuries.

Luckily he was still able to sip down the potion and recover some of the paleness that had set in.

The potion and healing skill would not be an instant fix to the broken bone, Wade would need some time and multiple healing sessions. However, Walker could tell this was a worthy price to pay for protecting a valuable party member. Walker would have done the same if he were in the situation.

”Walker, things are getting a little harder over here!” Gil was running low on mana and needed another mana potion to fire his arrows. The problem was that the minimized slime had begun attacking more. Calen was having a hard time dodging the now five tentacles it would sen out every time it was poked. Su was still able to block for Gil but Remey was helping deal with tentacles.

Remey had her new gloves which protected her arms from the slimes decaying effects. She was using her hammer punch on some of the tentacles to either break their connection at the thinnest point to the main slime body. Some of the tentacles she attacked out only partially break and attempt to reform. Luckily Midnight who had a natural protection from the decaying effect.

Her scales were very tough from eating the bones and the darkness elemental crystals. Since she had eaten other elemental crystals she had grown even tougher.

The two were moving around at their maximum speed to avoid tentacles and also break them. The fact that they were still starting to lag behind was a huge problem. Since Wade was not down for the count they were missing an important long range attacker. Walker knew that his ice would only do so much damage unless he was closer to use the frost ring skill, but it was too dangerous.

Walker handed Gil a mana potion while he looked at Su. She was much more ragged than he had expected. She was sweating and breathing heavily since the attacks from the minimized slime had increased. She had been using both shields to block the heavy attacks that had left Wade injured. ”Gil, I think we need to forget being safe. This is much tougher than I expected.”

”Understood. Can you give me the ice elemental wither spike arrows? I think wind elemental ones will help as well. If I can shave off some of the body then fire an ice elemental one freeze the parts that the wind elemental one sheers off.” Gil already had a plan. He had been thinking about it for the entire battle, especially as he saw things getting harder for everyone.

Walker started to create two of the longer frost whips in his hands. He needed to increase his damage while Gil prepared to use his wither spike elemental arrows. Walker saw that Calen was about to poke the slime again then rush away. ”Calen retreat here. Gil is preparing a big attack.”

With his shout, Calen retreated and was behind Su and her shields in a moment. She was confused to see the mana starting to radiate from the arrow tip that Gil was using. Alma knew all too well what this was. ”How do you have an arrow like that? Only an elf should be able to make and use those.” She was shakily saying these words, she knew that this was supposed to be impossible.

”He has the arcane marksman system. He gained it from a special quest. We had it under wraps but now that Wade is hurt we need to go all out. Just try to help us convince your elders not to lock us down.” Walkerʼs serious voice made Alma go silent.

Between the seemingly impossible system that Gil was revealed to have and the fact that the hero title holders were hiding it made her lose any ability to question them.

The wind element had caused a lot more mana to fluctuate around Gil. He was in a completely focused state as he locked on to the minimized slime. His bowʼs skill melding with the wind elemental energy in the wither spike arrow had become a force to be reckoned with. It was his most powerful attack and could cause much more damage than was safe for anyone to be close.

The arrow was released making the wind blow through the entire area. The trees and foliage around were whipped around and blew through the air more than anyone expected. There was dirt kicked up and the group hid behind Suʼs shield. Su connected the two shields and used them to anchor herself to the ground.

She was the protection from the whipping winds as the arrow made contact with the minimized slime.

The arrow pierced the same depth as the one previously. However this one did not contain the antidote at all, The wind elemental mana that had been stored within the arrow head had a much different effect. The wind was manipulated on to a wild form causing bits and pieces to be cut from the body of the slime.

The slime was able to resist the damage slightly but ut ended up losing much more of its body than expected. The tentacles it tried to whip out were sliced by the wind as well adding to the damage. Before the winds died down a cooling air was forming around the group.

”He has ice elemental arrows as well?” Alma could only whisper this in amazement. She was still processing the fact that a uniquely elven system was somehow with a human. The fact that Walker could learn a racial skill added to that made her head swim. These humans were too much for her to understand.

The ice elemental arrow was boosted by the bowʼs skill and sent full speed at the slime. The moment the winds died down was the exact second the ice elemental arrow pierced and buried itself within the slimeʼs body.

The temperature greatly decreased and the water elemental mana which was prevalent in the area due to rain was pulled towards the minimized slime. The group watched as the ice elemental wither spike arrow started to work its magic. Calen and Alma were still in awe at the scene.
