Master Of None

Chapter 1396: 1396. Overboard

”You kids will make me look weak if I do not come to join you.” Scylla stepped foot on to the colosseum battle arenas. Every single person battling or training felt the atmosphere change as a hardened fighter appeared.

”Who said I wasnʼt waiting for you to show up to get serious?” Walker held the twin blitz swords with flames burning around them. The ice was crunching under his feet as he moved around Su.

Su on the other hand was matching Walkerʼs movements. She was noticeably worn out because she had only been able to block the attacks from all around her. She had purposefully taunted more and more opponents so she could find her limit.

The goal of those specifically, was to test her perception. She could block Walker and Midnight when they teamed up. It was tough and she would find herself being attacked at odd angles causing her to work harder. But the dragonkin warriors were still more predictable due to the way they used the shadows.

”Now I would say this is interesting. I know more about you, general Scylla, than I let on when we first saw each other. Current spoke highly of a demi-human with ancient monster bloodline traits. You hold the blood of a monster only recorded by the most ancient records we have and even they deem them to be mythology. You hold the blood of the great sea monster Scylla.”

Mordant couldnʼt hold back any longer. He could feel the battle energy around him paired with Walkerʼs draconic skills. The fact that Walker was rubbing his face in the balanced elemental manas while attacking with them caused Mordant to get even itchier for a battle. But there was a line he could not cross. He was too strong.

If Mordant were to fight anyone there, he would come out on top in a mere handful of moves. It would be less fun than anything he could possibly do. After so many years of training, Mordant had reached a point where the only beings that could go against him were fellow dragons. It was part of being an ancient dragon.

”Scylla used to be known for the leviathan heads that she used to attack ships. The houndsʼ bodies that grew from her waist. And the massive storms that she could conjure with the movement of her massive body. You look nothing like that, but I feel your strength. You have long left many others behind in your pursuit of strength. I would say you even remind me of a few others in this city.

You wonʼt fall easily.”

This was extremely high praise. The dragonkin warriors that had come with Mordant were without words. They had never heard their lord speak with such certainty about another beingʼs strength. Even when he spoke about fellow dragons, he would put them lower because of his own pride as a dragon.

”As you can see, I do not have multiple heads or hounds that sprout from my body. I may have the ability to make such hounds out of water when in a certain state, but for leviathans,” Scylla spread her arms and her leviathans swam through the air around her in their smaller forms. ”These are both leviathans and myself. We were all born across the continent and in the ocean at the same time.

We are unmistakably bound together at the soul.”

When it came to uniqueness, Scylla exceeded most people. She was a demi-human who had been through hardships with a very powerful bloodline. On top of that, she was born divided. She was not one being but multiple with their own minds. However, she was whole now making her extremely powerful.

”Wonderful, then I permit you to face me in a battle of five moves.” Mordant set this limit for the simple reason that they wouldnʼt destroy the elegant coliseum he admired. The dwarven craftsmanship mixed with the demi-human plans produced a wonder that Mordant envied.

”You said we create storms? Right?” Scylla and the leviathans whipped out at the same time causing a massive burst of wind and water to rush toward Mordant. He sunk in to the shadows dodging while the water collided with the coliseum wall. Cracks formed but the coliseum did not break. ”Hm, I will need to ask the dwarves to strengthen the earth runes.”

”Impressive. I see you can easily mix the affinities. What do you think about the darkness?” Mordant tapped a foot and a large blade of pure shadow jumped up falling toward Scylla. She twisted aside watching it hit the ground and melt back in to the shadows as if it was never there.

”The same way I feel when we have a downpour.” The water that Scylla had stirred up from the ice fell around her. The leviathans opened their mouths and directed it at Mordant in a flurry of water drops able to pierce tough armor.

”Brilliant use of your water. Almost as good as my use of shadows.” Mordant pointed and shadows wrapped around Scylla and the leviathans like chains. She couldnʼt move an inch.

”You said five moves, little dragon,” Sylla growled as she used her mastery skill. Her words echoed off the coliseum walls while she fused with her leviathan counterparts. Her size increased, shattering the shadow chains.

”Truly someone worth knowing,” Mordant mumbled while he faced a true opponent. Scylla on the other hand knew that she was abusing her skill for something that she shouldnʼt. But she was making a point. The hounds formed from water while the leviathan heads whipped out water bullets at Mordant.

”A single powerful roar echoed through the coliseum making everyone freeze in their tracks. Walker was standing beside the three hatchlings with an earth wall that had cracked in to pieces. ”Tell me why you two have decided to get out of hand in my city!” While the two returned from the over excited states of mind, they realized just what they had allowed themselves to do.
