Master Of None

Chapter 1444: 1444. Leon Shows Off

The crowd felt that they had been shown a battle they didnʼt expect. No one knew that the seemingly weak and kind abyssal serpent was actually a terrifying force. Specifically, that Onyx could take on adventures with greater strength without losing immediately.

It was true that General Marshal had not used his full strength. That was just hope he was asked to fight. Yet, he had been underestimating Onyx just enough to get tricked in to a rough situation. He had even expected that onyx would give up after being stuck with small spikes on his tower shield, but he had been wrong.

”That armor was what onyx was hiding from all of us. Heʼs way sneakier than he should be. I need to teach him a lesson.” Gil felt that Onyx shouldnʼt have hidden so much from them. It was mostly his own desire to train against him though. Onyx was much tougher now than he had been the last time Gil had a match against him.

”I think Onyx was smart to hide it. He was waiting to use it when he knew what he was doing. He also gave a very good example for some very excited abyssal serpent hatchlings.” Ibis points out the abyssal serpent hatchlings who tracked Onyx with their eyes all the way back to the tunnel to the resting area. They had become much more driven to get stronger after witnessing the way Onyx fought.

”Iʼm more surprised that Mordant went to stop the battle. He is taking a much more forward role in everything than I thought. Not that I was going to let things go poorly either.” Walker had also been prepared to manipulate the shadows and hold Onyx solidly. He had felt something off in their bond when Onyx had tried to pull the general down.

”That would have been the correct choice. You are bound to him and he to you. He knew that he was doing something risky and took a gamble. That is good and bad. Gambles were required for me to get to a better understanding. Every royal dragon had to risk full commitment to their elemental affinity.

But that was a dangerous gamble I could not allow. There is danger in it.” Mordant returned and sat calmly beside Walker.

”Well, by any means, Thank you for stepping in and educating my little brother. You have a much better understanding of darkness elemental mana. You could be a pretty important teacher here in Genesis.” Mordant nearly laughed at Walker when he heard this. He was a royal dragon, not a teacher.

”You all thought that our special guest fights were over, but you are wrong!” Scylla shouted out again while another arena was cleared. ”We have our one and only heroic dragon Midnight!”

Midnight burst from the tunnel Onyx had just left out of. She was already using her skeletal armor skill while jumping in the air to fly to the arena. ”We asked her to come and show her metal against a new figure in the Genesis city council. Leon of the Merfolk has volunteered to show off his miraculous spearmanship skills today!”

Since Leon was calmly walking out on the arena, the crowd reacted less than they did with Midnight. However, Walker understood why this was done, Leon had not been as public when it came to the Genesis city council. He and the merfolk had been too busy building their riverside homes. The battle with Midnight was the perfect way to get him more attention for the future of Genesis.

”Thank you again Midnight, I was worried I would have to join and fight my way through all the battles to get to the top. Itʼs better to fight you this way and show off a little more.” Midnight huffed in response. She was more than happy to join in battle with Leon. he had been nice enough to offer her some special fish deliveries from near his city. Leon was smart enough to know how to win her over.

Without any hesitation, The referee announced the start of their battle. Midnight was too energetic and sucked in a deep breath right away. Before Leon knew what was happening, a large red flame was heading towards him.

”Too fast!” Leon spun his spear causing water to pull from around him. The spinning shape of the spear made a round wall of water which evaporated with the flames. He had been quick to block as a result of his hard training. If his muscles had not been ingrained with his skills he would have been too slow. ”Now I need to repay you for that one.”

Most merfolk suffered on land. They were faster and more flexible in the water. Yet, Leon had purposely trained more and more on land to make up for this. Therefore, his speed was astounding when it came to the comparison to a merfolk.

He dashed forward while droplets of water pooled around his spear tip. The quick jab trying to pierce Midnightʼs side was quickly dodged by Midnight flapping her wings and flying up slightly. The attack still managed to land though. The water at the end of the spear had jutted forward to hit Midnight and push her back in the air.

”I never said that I was only attacking with a physical spear. You wouldnʼt notice these attacks underwater but here they are visible.” Leon wanted to show his strengths and was not going to just let Midnight play with him. He was a tough warrior that had trained for many hours. Yes he was weaker on land, but that was nothing he had not overcome.

Midnightʼs response was a soft growl of challenge. She liked that Leon was not going to just let her win. She needed to fight stronger opponents like Leon so that she could keep growing faster.
