Master Of None

"To the right!" Remey shouted as Walker jumped to copy her kick to the largest slimy salamander they had seen yet.

"Done and done!" Walker used the flames that Remey and her partner were creating to attack.

'The skill flame kick has been taken from the flame brawler system. The skill has been learned through the replication of a brawler and through action.

Flame kick- 4 mana cost

The user is able to manipulate the flames in the surroundings or that they create. They will wrap the foot as the kick is used on an opponent to deliver a burning effect. The increased power from a burst of flames will also cause more blunt force damage. If used with other skills in tandem there are other skills that will be boosted in strength or this skill can be improved.'

Having the skill made Walker move much more easily. But he had not been focused on getting a skill. He had let himself get swept up in the battle with Remey. The two are leading the soldiers through the terrain. But most importantly, they were handling nearly every monster that came their way. The rot moths were easily taken down by the archers.

What was left were the larger salamanders that would come. They could smell and see the food that they wanted falling around the area. It was much easier in comparison to flipping logs to hunt for the rot moths or the grubs. But it was only easy in their eyes, they had no idea that all the noise and drama would be their downfall.

The grubs left in the logs were easily taken care of by the soldiers marching behind. Since there were so many slimy salamanders around, then they could just find where the salamanders had been hunting. Easy to deal with them. What the issue was, was that there were so many monsters at this point that it was a wonder what would happen with them.

"Walker, Remey. You are still battling but we have a problem. There are not enough soldiers to carry the monsters defeated. We must get rid of them with your flames or have the fire mages spend more time behind." Seran felt it was wrong to interrupt as he had just seen Remey and Walker work together to defeat a fairly large slimy salamander in just a few minutes.

"Walker will deal with it. I have another one up ahead." Remey was clearly in the zone. She didn't even look at Seran for a moment. She just prepared to charge ahead. But this wasn't bad. They were cutting down on the monsters that were growing well over the usual population in the area due to all the rotting trees around.

"Gather them together. We can use them later. If the wyverns find a massive pile of food, won't that distract them? We can use it as a distraction when we start climbing the real mountain." Seran had been thinking this. Many of the angels had used similar tactics to attract one wyvern alone. But never to attract multiple.

Yet, they all saw that the number of monsters being defeated was exceptional. Every attack that Remey used was defeating or nearly defeating a monster ahead of them. It was even harsher when Walker joined in. He was able to finish and defeat the monsters before or with Remey. It was perfect teamwork that could match her voracious battle style.

The fire didn't even seem to another Walker at all. He was battling around Remey who was slowly showing that her body was affected by the heat. She was clearly sweating more and had a red tinge all over her skin. But Walker was fine without any ice magic or even using wind magic to cool himself.

This was a simple result of the dragon bonds he had. Midnight and he would both be fine because of their bonds. But add in the fact that natural mana flowed through and around Walker, and it would mean that mana shouldn't harm him too much. When he got stronger in using manas, he was also increasing his own affinities. Even if he didn't notice this, it was happening.

Seran didn't hesitate to order his soldiers in particular to begin bringing monsters to Walker. And without any change in his own battling, Walker started to store away the bodies of the slimy salamanders, rot moths, and even the grubs. He would just change his movement style to the slightest degree.

Naturally, he took a slower role in the fighting because of this, but Remey liked that. She was showing off to a much higher degree and battling to her heart's content. She had not been in such a frenzy for a while. This was what she needed.

That was until the forest seemed to shake slightly. Ahead of them was a cluster of rotting logs that appeared to have been pushed by powerful winds in to a large mess of a pile. They were rotting slowly but surely in the cluster of holes where stumps had once been. It was certain that this would be an ideal place for rot moths to come and lay their eggs. That also made it the perfect place for a slimy salamander or salamanders to wait for prey.

The sounds had finally woken up a larger monster waiting to eat what it could. When Walker felt the shaking of the ground and saw the pile of logs shifting, he knew that something larger had come to sleep there.

'Behemoth salamander

The behemoth salamander is a salamander that lives in and around slimy salamanders. They will look similar until they hit a growth spurt. In that time they will grow larger bone horns and their skin will thicken to be tougher. If given enough food they can become a dominant monster in their section of forest. They also have a strong water affinity that they use to keep their skin moist and attack with water balls from their mouth.

Due to a small amount of dragon bloodline, they are able to resist many of the elemental manas and conditions in nature. It is also why they have the desire to take over territory from other larger monsters causing them to use the horns that grow on their bodies as ways to attack. They even had sharper claws than a salamander would normally have.'

"Behmouth salamander, prepare to retreat!" one of the angels called this out but Su stepped up and stopped them. She then took the lead to catch up with Remey and Walker.

"The angels are backing up but we can handle it, right?" Su didn't wait for an answer from Walker. She knew that they would be fighting it no matter what. They had woken it up and even found another monster that they had never seen before.

"It has dragon blood. You can feel it, right?" Walker glanced at Su then at the dragons. They had all focused on this aggressive monster in front of them.

"Who cares, we punch it the same. And even if it attacks with that water, I will burn it." Remey jumped aside as a ball of water flew through the air at her and the flames she wielded. It was clear that the fire was what had truly awakened the behemoth salamander. It must have felt threatened. Adding in the dragons, it would have the instinct to fight and defend itself even more than before.

"Watch out for the claws, horns, and that tail. The water can be handled. Gil is already gathering water mages behind us." Walker trusted that Gil would be ready for whatever they needed. He also felt that Alice had begun to sing a new song that was boosting their speed. It was just a way to help them at a longer distance. But Walker could only grin as she saw that Remey was already taking advantage of the boosted speed she had.

The large behemoth salamander knocked over the rotting logs and revealed the green and red patterns that set it aside from the slimy salamanders on its body. The smooth scaled skin was definitely tougher making it seem more like a larger lizard. But the bone white horns set it aside even more. Walker could tell that the horns and the skin were from the dragon blood it possessed.

With a single slap of its claw, the forest seemed to shake again. There was a lot more strength than it had compared to the weak slimy salamanders. But that didn't mean that it could avoid or intimidate Remey. She had already reached its side and sent a jab out at its neck. The behemoth salamander had not expected that it would be facing a tough opponent that was much faster than it so soon. It had thought of them as prey due to their size. A good snack that might have a little dragon blood in them. It was foolish.
