Master Of None

The room was empty. The table had been broken up and thrown to the side while a throne had been made in the center of the meeting room. Many different things had been made to take the form of the throne. Gems, gold, and even a few runed weapons. Sitting on top of the throne was a twisted creature.

There was pale skin that seemed stretched to a breaking point over bulging muscles that didn't seem to fit on the body of a demon. There were white and black horns that grew from the demons' head in scratch angles. The claws that the demon had were not normal either. They seemed to curve back on themselves becoming round and useless. The scariest part was that the demon had long needle like teeth that showed from his vibrant smile.

"Another possession to bring me a snack. I have had a lot to eat these few days. I wasn't able to eat to my hearts' content in the demon lands. That bastard demon lord telling me I was not allowed to do this and that. He didn't even realize that this is all mine. The entire world is mine." The coughing laughter made Walker want to gag.

"None of this is yours. This is a city shared by everyone and you are not welcome here. Out of respect for another life, you can remove your curse now and face punishment. I will not harm you if you do so now." As angry as Walker was, he still wanted to offer a fair chance. He would offer it to anyone in the same position. But Greed was laughing even harder now.

"My curse? It is an honor to become part of my collection. Just look at how many things I own. Once part of my collection, they never leave." Greed's voice turned in to a vicious growl that caused the room to rumble.

"Then I will be sealing you away forever. I will not allow you to cause another city to fall in to ruin. This is not your world!" Walker grabbed the eternal orb in its spear form. He tried to pull mana around it but found that it wouldn't respond. The only thing that happened was Greed laughing much more.

"Boy, I may be low leveled, but I am not weak. I have collected many things since coming here and I can not be swayed by a simple spear or some weak magic prowess. I have learned a lot in my many years of life. Become [art of my collection willingly and I will let you upkeep the collection for me. I need a possession to act as a cleaner. Or you can become another doll for me to look at." The sneer on Greed's face seemed to grow inch by inch while he stood and stepped down off the throne.

As Greed moved, Walker noticed that there were multiple people tossed aside behind the throne. If they battled it out here then they would hurt the people that were supposed to be representing their races. This would be a worse loss than Walker was willing to sacrifice so that the city could be saved. He would rather lay down his own life right now.

"Ha, you can't own anything or anyone. This is everyones' city and there's nothing you can do to stop that. Even if you catch me and add me to some collection." Walker used his dance of seasons' second act, the dance of spring. He felt his body become lighter and he darted around toward the window. With a swift spear strike, the window shattered.

"How dare you damage what I own! That is mine and mine alone! How dare you break it!" Veins bulged on Greed's misshapen head while he watched Walker step in to the air and out the window toward the courtyard where there was nearly nobody who had collapsed.

Greed didn't care for Walker's actions in the least. He felt the anger boil as something he deemed his was broken. He didn't show any fear when he threw himself from the window to chase Walker. Greed had absorbed so much energy from the city that he was not afraid of falling and becoming injured. He could absorb more energy and become healthy again. He hated his weak self and could only grow his collection.

Seeing that Greed was right behind him, Walker used his small amount of time to move the few people around to cover so that they wouldn't be harmed by any attacks. "Come here my new toy. Come and let me make you a permanent resident in my collection. I might even have envy come to make you a real doll. He is mine too you know." The strange laughter turned in to a disgusting cough.

"Fleur, I will need your help here. I trust that you and I can do this." Walker felt Fleur stir. In the eternal orb spear form, some small amounts of natural mana gathered. Walker couldn't use the other elemental manas to fight since Greed was consuming them at a ridiculous pace as his own. But what Greed could not seem to do was manipulate natural mana. Once the manas combined it seemed that Greed had no way to control them and bend them to his will.

"Greed looked Walker dead in the eyes while pulling back a fist. The elemental mana gathered on Greed's hand was the same as Remey's elemental fist attack. Walker knew that it had to be because Greed had absorbed energy from Remey and other brawlers. This just made him angrier when he jumped back to dodge the fist.

The ground cracked and Walker could only wonder how such a weak demon had gotten so much power. The strength of a title was not something simple. It could make even a level one system user this strong.
