Master Of None

Chapter 1219: 1219. Light Rain

The event with the rattle tailed snakes went on until the Su had finally broken through the clouds and begun to warm up the general area. Midnight seemed as if she was fairly proud to have led them for an hour or two but Su and Walker found it very amusing. It was like a full time job for her by the time the sun broke through.

Walker had a good time taking a break from their hide and seek game but also practicing controlling the fire elemental mana from Midnightʼs flames.

”We should be back home soon. It looked like the last few days have been worth the extra effort.” Su was feeling very good about their progress. The three had been stopping for small breaks without a long period of rest. They liked the feeling of pushing themselves because they could only think of their goals. They wanted to get home and prepare for the dragons to come.

They wanted to see their family again. It was just more excitement than anything else.

”We have made great time. I just wonder what everyone has been up to. I feel like every time I look away everything changes like crazy.” Even Midnight huffed in agreement to that. Walker could tell that she was also excited for her role in helping the rejected dragons to grow.

”Do you think that the tournaments and competitions will bring in massive crowds? Because I have a feeling we will have our streets packed. We might even want to let a few more meetings happen before.” There had been a lot on their minds but now that they were closing in on hoke the issues that might arise also crossed their minds.

Su had a good point that the alchemy competition would bring a lot of people since they wanted to find mentors. But the colosseum would bring a substantial number of demi-humans to the city.

The idea that it could get a little rowdy was an understatement. They would also have the royal dragons or at least a few of the dragonkin around. There was no set timeline for them visiting so preparations were very up in the air. ”We will figure it all out as we go but we arenʼt alone. Letʼs just push on and get there by the time the sun sets.

Then we can sleep in and prepare for what life has to offer.” Walker decided to just take the laid back approach since it would be too complicated to micro manage anything.

While they pushed through the last of their travels. Gil, Remey, and Onyx had found themselves face to face with the newest song in Aliceʼs portfolio.

”Keep moving Remey! There are too many.” Gil had been using his speed to dodge and had not even attempted to use the dagger arts that he had trained earlier in the day. Onyx had no issue dodging what was coming towards him. He had already seen the song and was able to absorb the light elemental mana fast enough if one of the attacks got near him.

”This is your fault Gil. Alice even said you inspired this song!” Remey was red faced and out of breath while she moved with the training armor on. She could barely escaped the light arrows that were falling from above them.

Gil had told Alice about the arrow rain skill at dinner the previous night. There had also been an inspiration from Walker when he told Alice about the throwing needles he had weeks ago. Combining these two in to an attack finally occurred to Alice after a lot of thinking and effort. The result was brilliant.

There was very little control, but that gave Alice even more free reign to create more light arrows with rougher shapes. Then she would drop them from higher up and release them when she did not need them. It was a constant formation of condensed elemental mana but that was the only real challenge.

”Fine, Alice! Iʼm coming for you!” Remey gave up on dodging and started to directly deflect the light arrows that fell. It was even more dramatic when she took the added weight of some earth elemental mana and small stones. She directly wore the earth elemental knuckles and let the stones gather on her fists to better defend against the attacks.

She was still quick enough not to get hit but now was cutting it even closer. The real problem was that she was getting too close to Alice.

The biggest drawback from using a skill that constantly created so many condensed light elemental arrows was a pretty big one. It was the fact that Alice could not easily concentrate on the speedy formation with her words while moving. If she hesitated for a moment then she would have her light elemental mana dissipate leaving her undefended.

Although, this did not mean she couldnʼt change the song slightly and make it a single shield in front of her.

At the moment that this happened and Remey came fist to light shield, Gil had managed to find a chance to dodge some of the last dissipating light arrows to get near Onyx. He was ready to test what he had learned against Onyx who had very good mobility with his serpentine body. Dodging seemed a lot easier for Onyx than it would be for others. This meant that it was a true challenge for Gil.

”Iʼm just using a wooden training dagger, but it will still hurt. Be ready.” The morningʼs training was already ingrained within Gilʼs muscle memory. The instructor had shown him how to strike while moving with the flow of water. The number of attacks that he had down after being taught was not love in the least. He felt he would wake up doing attacks in his sleep if he was not careful.
