Master Of None

Chapter 825: 825. Combat Basics

Walker was observing Midnightʼs attempt to absorb the light elemental mana similarly to how Onyx did and even attempted to breathe some in to absorb it that way. Meanwhile, Alice was showing off how she could attack with light that she personally condensed. Su had realized that the attacks were field by the mana in the air and not by Alicesʼ mana completely.

This meant that Alice was using her natural stamina to attack and no skill was behind it.

The thwacking sound repeated over and over as Su had dropped her shield to block using her own body. Alice lacked strength and magical attack power. This was simply due to her weaker level compared to Suʼs magical and physical defenses. But this worked out.

Su was able to avoid being damaged while training herself against random attacks and attempting to resist the light elemental mana that would burst from Alicesʼ attacks.

The light elemental mana was proving to be the dangerous part here. Due to the fact that light had a purifying effect the attacks from Alice pushed away Suʼs mana. The attacks would cause Su to feel like she was being burned slightly even though there were no actual injuries.

This presented the challenge to control her mana when she blocked it so that it would become thicker and resist the light elemental mana more.

Continuing the attacks, Su saw that Alice was becoming more determined. She knew that Walker had once talked with Alice about going on an adventure and could foresee that the adventure would most likely be the journey to Genesis city for the summit. It would be the perfect time to escort the high priest and Alice there along with others that may come as well.

”You want to travel with us, correct?” Su began to question Alice while they trained. She wanted to push Alice to show what she could really do and potentially enhance her strength. Even if Alice could fight a little it would mean a higher chance of survival and greater safety while traveling.

”Yes.” The light staff in her hands vibrated in response. ”Gather.” The staff thickened and changed slightly. ”Heavy” The end of the staff became like a club and came down on Su. Su was forced to deflect it and roll to the side. The attack wouldnʼt have done damage but it carried more light elemental mana than before.

”If you want to come you need to be prepared to survive a monster attack. Instead of you just attacking and me just attacking, I will attack now.” Su picked up the earth dwelling shield and prepared herself. Alice also changed stances and narrowed her eyes.

The stance was that of a beginner and would not hold weight, however, it was a good natural stance for someone that had only ever healed and trained their attack skills in private. When Alice attacked again, Su ducked to the side and pushed Alice back with her shield. T was not a hard hit but it was enough for her to stumble.

”Keep your feet under you. Bend your knees to absorb the force. Be ready to fall and roll back to your feet in an instant. If you fall you die!” The change in Suʼs attitude was a shock to Alice but she clearly understood that Su was trying to establish a proper lesson. Alice had intended to help them but was now being helped as well.

Su continued to push Alice after she attacked until Alice managed to dodge the soft shield bash for the first time. ”Good, now try and counter. The moment an attack is dodged or deflected is perfect to attack the weak point.” Su was slowing her movements so that Alice could learn more.

The pair continued this over and over dancing around the garden not even realizing the high priest had come out to the gazebo to watch. He had feigned ignorance when Alice had started to condense and trained light elemental mana in to a staff. He had always known this was possible for her since her words controlled the light elemental mana. However, the mana cost was too high for constant use.

Since Alice had trained and received a gift to assist the control of her mana and skills, then it was finally possible to safely condense the light elemental mana.

The moment that Alice finally dodged and countered with a hard thwack to Suʼs side the high priest jumped to his feet, ”Thatʼs my girl!” His excitement shifted to embarrassment as everyone looked at him. ”Ehm, sorry. Please continue with your training. I was a little too impressed.” Alice was pouting since she had not thought she was being watched.

However, Su began to explain the benefits and took the pause to talk through further strategy.

Meanwhile, there was a slight white air that was expelled from Midnightʼs breath. It was a small wisp but it was most certainly light elemental mana. Onyx confirmed it when Midnight managed to breathe it out. ”That was a small start but I can tell you adjusted enough to the light elemental mana to breath it out. Concentrating it will take time but remember not to absorb too much.

You are not Onyx and can not consume it safely.”

Walker was sure to remind Midnight before standing up, ”Now that you have grasped it we should take a break and clean up. If we stay here all day then we will end up falling asleep here.” His laugh made Midnight and Onyx both realize they had been training for four straight hours to get a small result.

Onyx had also absorbed a very high amount of light mana and needed to sleep it off while his body processed it.

Threw as a soft woosh as a pair of wings came down to land on the roof of the cathedral. A pair of pure white eyes watched the group from above.
