Master Of None

Chapter 1158: 1158. Just Sparring...

”Brother, Su has been working very hard today.” Onyx knew that Walker understood this but still felt it was worth saying. He had just been knocked back and felt how much stronger Su had gotten just in the day. ”Every time she attacks it feels like she has gotten more powerful. I donʼt know what it is.” This was enough to put Walker on edge. Su was still adapting to the changes in her body.

If she was improving so fast, then wouldnʼt he fall behind soon?

”Iʼll need to get more serious myself. I didnʼt think that you were getting stranger that fast…” Since Su was still catching her breath, she was not able to respond. However, she held a smug smile that told Walker she was willing to challenge him at any time.

”Now look at what you managed to do. We will need to flatten out the courtyard again. You dug right in with every step there.” No one but the high priest had noticed that Su had pushed on the ground so hard while charging that she had dug small divots in the ground with each step. It spoke to the heaviness of her armor and shields but also to the force she put in every leap forward.

”Let me fix that quick.” Walker used his grand elemental manipulating to flatten the ground again while the high priest nodded in approval. He wished that Walker had been there the entire week so that this could have been fixed as the training had gone on. The number of times that Alice, Su, and Onyx had damaged the ground was nearly uncountable at this point.

Before Walker could speak he heard a soft song starting. But what caught him up was that he couldnʼt make out the words. They seemed to evade him when he focused. However, the light elemental mana had made gather in the courtyard seemed to bed to the words faster than he knew. In an instant, there were three swords of light moving through the air towards him. His reaction was nothing too spectacular.

Walker jumped to the side and rolled while pulling the twin blitz swords from his storage. He slashed at the light swords and managed to block them as they came at him again. Without any hesitation, he began to dance the second act of the dance of seasons; spring. His agility increased and he was able to move more freely while defending against the swords.

He had not expected Alice to see him and immediately show off. But whatever she had discovered had made her much more efficient in singing her songs to manipulate the light elemental mana. So much so that Walker felt he might have been caught off guard if he was not so much faster and higher leveled than her.

”Is that the fastest you have!?” Walker planted his feet and raised the twin blitz swords in a stance he didnʼt know he could perform. It felt that it was second nature based on the warriors he had seen use swords. Without really thinking he had copied it and begun to use it.

ʼThe skill dual stance has been taken from the starlight swordsman system. The user has learned the skill dual stance from the constant battle experience and memories of stances while using dual bladed weapons.

Dual stance- passive

The user is able to easily fall in to a corresponding stance related to two of the same weapon being wielded at once. They are able to use their skills related to having two of the same weapons slightly faster. They are also able to resist the attack and parry the attacks toward them slightly faster. The user is also able to better learn dual blade skills at a slightly faster rate.ʼ

There was a smirk on Walkerʼs face when he read this. Whatever a starlight swordsman was, they had a great skill with dual weapons. Walker envied the slight boost in learning experience that would come with this and the system he didnʼt know much about. Although, he now had the skill and was ready to use it to the best of his ability. To do so, he started to pull on the air and water around him.

The mana started to condense much better than usual to form icy extended blades on his twin blitz swords.

The air was sharpening the water as it froze. Walker had thought of this combination over time when using the frost whip since he knew that the wind made everything feel colder. He was also able to see the ice and snow shaped by the wind when they had gone up to Adairsʼ village in the mountains. It was time for him to put these combinations to practice and use them properly.

His next slash shattered one of the three light elemental blades that Aliceʼs song made. The resulting gust of icy air was enough to chill everyone watching to the bone. But Alice was not done yet. She raised her voice and Walker almost made out some of the words.

He still was not sure what or how she was doing it but he pushed on against the newly formed three light elemental blades moving even faster.

The show of agility and ice made the courtyard feel like winter was returning instead of fading. Su had started to regain her breath and was watching while Onyx curled up to watch next to her. ”I thought they liked each other but now I might say they are enemies.” She was feeling recovered enough to joke around a little with Onyx.

”They are getting to know each other. Brother missed Alice, and Alice has been working hard to be able to journey with him. They know more about each other than ever before.” There was no way that onyx wouldnʼt see the truth of this little sparring match.
