Master Of None

Chapter  2179. One Big Breath

The three had come closer together to be able to see the skill that they intended. They all had learned to use light mana. With the right amount of training, Su had also learned to infuse light mana in to this unique attack which she had learned more and more about since she became a half dragon fully. Walker was the only real outlier, but since he knew the way that manas flowed, knew the ways that he could make it move properly within his own body, it was easier for him to use. There was also the fact that he had long learned through his bond with Midnight how to use dragon fire even without having to use a dragon breath attack. In a burst of heat and light, the three released the manas that they had gathered. Walker used a little extra mana to gather the three streams of white purifying dragon flames in to a singular potent purifying dragon flame that encompassed the entirety of the undead seal left behind by the immortal king. This pierced through it causing the purifying flames to grow more and more intense. They naturally spread as they dissolved the moving bone dust which was the seal and the undead at the same time. However, it also spread inside toward the rolling thorn skeletons. Each one that was foolish enough to come in to contact with the white flames was made a vessel for them. Carried the flames in their motions. Made them spread as they attempted to roll up and target the party. Not that they were able to get anywhere at the rate that their skeletal bodies were burning. The flames were intensified by the second. Especially since the skeletons were all crowding around and trying to leave the undead elemental plane. Not because they wanted to leave it in general. But because they knew that there were living beings right in front of them that they could attack. The light devouring dragon and the light dragonoids watched in awe as they saw how Walker moved his hands to manipulate the manas as they all ceased the continuous flow of purifying dragon breath. Walker showed some signs of whaling using his skills but Su had reached for the healing potion. While her body was extremely resistant to these sorts of attacks and skills, Su still pushed her body beyond the limit of what she was able to handle. The intense heat had gone right above her resistance to dragon flames. She was only half dragon after all. But her natural defenses should have protected her. Hence how powerful the purifying dragon flames were with the denser amounts of pure manas they could gather here. Midnight was somewhat exhausted too. She was taking deep breaths while watching Walker manipulate the white flames that the three of them had just created together. Gil also began to fire arrows out from where he stood. Each arrow struck skeletons that had not burned yet, or were trying to make their move. As the ancient skeleton puppet made its moves towards them, the light organoids charged forward. They had watched in awe for long enough. They now understood their roles here. They were there to back up the young origin beings who was striking down the undead brought by an evil trying to take control of elemental planes. The light devouring dragon did not stop them as they made their moves. He too sensed the control that Walker had over dragon fire. Something that further proved he was a dragon too in a way. But mostly, the light dragonoid was watching the life swallowing monstrosity. It had begun to move too. Skeletons were pulled in to it, regardless of them being caught aflame or not. This would have burned the life swallowing monstrosity too if it didn't constantly pull the skeletons and their flame snide its body. The space and darkness affinity smothered the light affinity dragon flames. While not impossible, this was something that showed how powerful this monster was now that it had the chance to grow in such a unique undead elemental plane. It was made of impossible pieces and parts strung together through constant experimentation of a bored undead that lived for far too long. Naturally it would resist its opposing elemental mana. The ancient skeleton puppet moved around the blunt attacks from the light dragonoids. They were trying to strike at it with their sword or claws, but they found that the damage they did just became nothing. It was rebuilding its body with the tough tendons which held its pieces of bone together. It was also using dark mana to stain their pure white scales. Small decaying patches showed that the light dragonoids were not as resistant to dark mana as they should be, but their attacks weren't doing absolutely nothing. If Walker had the chance to speak, he would have told them that their attacks were wearing away at the tendons. The light mana was purifying them and forcing the uniqueness of undead mana out of them.

In a swift movement, Walker caused a large ball of white flames together over the top of the life devouring monster. But he wasn't doing that to allow it to fall or even attack. Instead, he glanced at the light devouring dragon who had relaxed that Walker had set this up for him. Had managed to manipulate the light mana perfectly. Instead of clashing with his own mana as another light monster's mana would, the light devouring dragon felt that the purifying white dragon flames were perfectly acclimated to match the light mana he absorbed naturally. It was an astonishing achievement that came with the fact that Walker was just that adept in understanding the flow of mana now. When the light devouring dragon pulled too much light mana to him, he could cause problems for the light elemental plane. But when Walker had prepared this ball of mana perfectly set up for his body, he couldn't insult him. He had to take it and make do. In a flurry of mana, the light devouring took his proper dragon form. His larger mouth opened to swallow the ball of white flames that had been gathered. The very air felt heavier when the light devouring dragon did this. Mostly because of the sudden change in manas now being focused on him. Feeling the push from their leader, the light devouring dragon, the light dragonoids all began channeling their own inner light mana to attack. They struck out with light cloaked swords or claws that shined with light. Their attacks shredded the skeletons that had yet to catch flame. But more so, they caused massive damage to the ancient skeleton puppet. The tendons break in one leg entirely and being completely unable to reform to the body. The dangers were only avoided because Walker had already begun to use his multi buff skill with an even greater focus on using ambient light mana to buff them again. It was a partial buff that had yet to be used enough for him to have a proper skill, but in theory, Walker had expected this to work. But focusing on matching the unique resonance of each kind of mana, it made sense that he would be able to boost efficiency in mana flow for that specific person. Therefore, he did that with every single light dragonoid and the light devouring dragon. At that point, he witnessed the light devouring dragon released the purifying flames boosted by a purer light mana that the light devouring dragon used to survive. In a flash, the beam of condensed white flames bathed the entire area in the most potent purification that the light devouring dragon could muster. The life swallowing undead was unable to properly defend even with all the dark mana within its body. Many skeletal arms disintegrated in to bone dust within a second. Even more rib bones slowly degraded as flames sparked up all around it and within it. This only intensified as the light devouring dragon ceased his breath attack and assisted Walker to control the growing flames. They even spread over the entire area to cause the remaining skeletons to meet their final end. The ancient skeleton puppet was just the same. The organized attacks of light dragonoids and the light devouring dragon turned it in to nothing but a memory for them to have. These attacks had cost a lot of light mana though. So much that the light devouring dragon did not dare be reckless. Walker could sense that too. The change in the way the light devouring dragon acted. While he himself did not need the manas to survive right now, the light devouring dragon was burdened with the path he took. He needed light mana to survive and he could not remain here. "Go, your duty is fulfilled enough. We will meet again after my party completes our goal." Walker gathered his focus and began walking toward where he knew the immortal king had gone. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
