Master Of None

Walker first got the potions out along with rope. He watched as Remey began to string them together. Midnight took the role of pulling her along in the water while she worked. It was the perfect teamwork since Remey didn't have much weight and Midnight had learned to swim the same way as the other dragons. However, Gil was the one stuck handing her potions from the crate while also adding in the fire elemental arrows he had created.Â

The process was simple. The necks of the potion vials were tied in groups with the rope and every cluster had a wither spike arrow with fire elemental mana crystal within the arrow head. But this was not all, there was a lot of space in between these clusters so that when they exploded the wave would not affect the other explosions but instead create a continuous net of explosions. The idea was presented by one of the dwarven elite guards that had once watched some large mining projects in the deep caves using unstable mana crystals.Â

The use of unstable mana crystals was not rare. For many of the races, the unstable mana crystals were damaged mana crystals that had started to release their mana at too fast of a rate, then later forcefully refilled to their maximum capacity. These were normally disposed of by mages or brought to a safe place and fully broken.Â

Since the matter of creating the explosives was taken care of, Walker went to meet with those that came with the tamer's guild. "Sir. I am the one in charge today. My fellow tamers have banned together under the orders of the guild master. We normally wander the tides to look for ways to improve ourselves. We gathered those near enough and come to meet you. We hope that this shows the support the tamers' guild wishes to offer to Genesis city and the new base we will have there." The man that swam to Walker looked familiar. It was clear he had been one of the tamers in the demi-human city when they had visited.Â

"Of course, we will welcome the guild. I have some friends that I would like to have visit. If there is a guild branch there then they can't say no." The joke relaxed the man as he was prepared for a battle and had already encountered a few of the kraken spawn on the trip to catch up. "You have a variety of tamers and monsters with you. The plan will be simple. The scouts and enforcers will attack the swarm of kraken spawn. The dragons will attack the mother. From there we exterminate every single one. When we near the nest be ready for battle at any moment."Â

"Understood. I will relay to my high ranking tamers. Please rest assured. We are always prepared for a battle. The ocean is a second home to us. We spend more time in the water than we do on land. I can only bond with my partners in the water." Just as Walker was going to ask what partners, he noticed a translucent shrimp in front of his face.Â

"I tamed four ghostly prawns. They look rather weak but they are known as the assassin shrimp by those who have seen them in the wild. They are hard to spot, sneak up on larger prey, then use a very powerful water attack to finish their prey. I learned my lesson long ago not to tickle them on the tail." The laughter held a more serious tone since Walker had never heard of a ghostly prawn. But the power it had made him know that the unknown was truly more dangerous than one could ever think.Â

"Besides this, we have some rock crab, electrified eels, a single vibrant ray, and even a few black oyster tamers. We will fill whatever roles we can." The variety made them perfect for covering other soldiers' backs and filling multiple roles just as the man said.Â

"Then I will allow you to work as you need. Just remember who to report to and if you need to speak to any dragon be as respectful and honest as possible. Facts only." The warning was just that. A warning for those who were not used to dragons the way Walker was. The tamers only really know of the dragon that worked with the guild master of the tamers' guild. If they treated Current and Ciel the same let alone the elders, they would end up nothing but fish food.Â

The speed of everyone's swimming had become much better over the last hour of preparations and following of king Aaron. They had adapted somewhat since they had been in the water and the current seemed to be going with them. The sudden stop was a surprise to everyone that was in the back. Yet the party who was in the front was able to see why.Â

There were towers of colorful coral reflecting some of the glowing light. They seemed to break the darkness of the night underwater. But there was a lot of damage made painfully clear. There seemed to be a shell wall that had been made to defend against the monsters that crawled along the ocean floor which was shattered in many places from the kraken spawn attacking with the mother.Â

Some towers were already broken and what Walker could make out so were a lot of the buildings. What was even worse was the kraken spawn that could be seen trying to destroy more and hunt for food. Yet, this was still nothing compared to what they were looking at right near the city.Â

What seemed to have been a cave at one point had been dug out in to a large ring of sand. But again, that was not what had everyone stopped. The remains of many monsters and large round clear eggs were what had everyone stopped and wide eyed.Â
