Master Of None

Chapter 1440: 1440. Taunting Victory

”So your guardian has exceeded the attacks of another. That should make you feel proud.” Mordant didnʼt hesitate to mention this to Walker. He thought that it was a little rough since he knew that Mordant had wanted the darkness affinity spell blade to win. It was the same affinity he prided. However, Su was using interesting tactics.

”I havenʼt seen Su use a tactic that forces her opponent to use all of their mana. She is literally taunting them in to losing without attacking.” Walker wanted to see Su use this against him. He felt that it would be the perfect mental training for anyone to get to the right level to face a tough opponent. Especially an opponent with illusion or other mind related skills.

”Remind me not to make Su angry. I think she can block some of my elemental arrows without a scratch now.” The thought had occurred to Gil after he saw her block four darkness thrown blade attacks in a row.

”I would not get too excited just yet. That spell blade, she is not using both of her swords. She is a dual elemental spell blade you know.” Alma realized that she had a few more pieces of knowledge than the others. It helped that she had met all of the spell blades participating before they had even come to Genesis. Yet, in the busyness of the weeks she had been unable to introduce them to even Gil.

”Oh, a second affinity. I was wondering why a singular affinity warrior seemed to have such a weakness to their main affinity. I completely missed the other elemental mana around their body.” Mordant had become very distracted it was unlike him to be that way.

Meanwhile in the arena…

”Iʼm done playing with this! I was going to hold back and beat you so I can defeat the real opponents. But I was given an annoying brat!” The spell sword had lost her patience. This was it for her mental strength. The second sword was pulled out from her waist and she became a lot more serious about the battle.

When the second sword was pulled out, Su knew exactly what elemental affinity the spell blade was going to use. She changed the shields dropping the twin shields and pulling her earth dwelling shield from her back. ”I doubt that you will make any difference with that saber in your hand. Not that you were doing damage in the first place.”

The taunt added to the spell bladeʼs anger. She rushed forward in a flurry of slashes that Su just blocked and redirected with ease. ”Come on, use your earth affinity too. Or is it too slow?” Su felt the earth blade form and come at her from the spell bladeʼs swords.

”My partner and I can use that earth elemental mana too.” Su felt the earth spirit within the earth dwelling shield react. The earth thrown blade that hit the shield became nothing to her even before it touched it. The only thing that made any impact was the residual mana from the spell blade herself. That was because there was her personal mana within the earth elemental mana gathered.

Otherwise, Su had allowed the earth spirit to take the mana for itself.

”How!”Thatʼs not how it should be!” The spell blade reacted with a nice dramatic surprise allowing Su to use her first shield bash. The impact was held back because Su wasnʼt sure what she would be able to do. She had already found that she was better defensively than she expected. The call was the right move though.

The shield bash made contact with the stunned spell blade knocking her back and way out of the arena on to the floor. Su just stood watching the spell blade push herself up and look at her. ”Sorry about the taunting. It was just a way to throw you off your game.” Su tried to apologize but the crowd was already being too loud and drawing out her voice.

”I donʼt think I will be training against Su anytime soon.” Alma thought that Su would easily stand and be able to walk through any attacks she could muster with her blue ivy.

”Youʼre telling me. I know that I would have to use some serious magical skills to deal with her defenses now. I didnʼt realize that she had gotten so much stronger lately.” There was a small spark in Walkerʼs eyes. He was getting more and more excited to see what Su had coming. He knew she had held back her skills.

It was too easy too easy to see that she had stopped herself from using a skill that she hadnʼt shown yet.

”She is acclimating to the blood of dragons as a draconic guardian. The effects are much more dramatic because she is a human and not a dragonkin. I thought she would take on more traits of a dragonkin after the bond increased…Yet here she is without scales and tougher skin instead. Her eyes are different though.” Mordant thought that this was an amazing occurrence.

”She has some ideas of what skills she can use. I find myself wondering if she might sprout wings or make them out of elemental mana like me.” Walker dropped this on Mordant. He had not really shown these skills in depth yet. Just small doses.

”I think we should refocus ourselves. Remey is about to start her fight against a demi-human with gorilla traits. I would be willing to place a bet that it is a child of the demi-human guards.” Ibis felt that he was the only one staying focused on the battles taking place still. Everyone was getting in to debates about skills and how the future may take shape.

”Gil, on three?” Walker nodded three times

”Letʼs go Remey!” The cheer was loud enough for many to hear. Su had even joined in seeing that Gil and Walker were preparing to shout.
