Master Of None

The chaotic monstrosity had been fooled.

It made the demon lord's body move to attack the shield directly while Su had already made her move. Compared to the twin shields slammed together and held in by the stone of the ruined temple, she was small.

She was not noticeable by comparison. Since the chaotic monstrosity was nothing truly intelligent, it was easily baited in to the constant attacking of the shield.

Even when the demon lord's body that it was leeching off of knocked over the shield, it did not realize the danger it was in.

"Su changed at it with a light shield in front of her.

It wasn't the act of having a shield that made the light shield appear. It was her will to create a shield with the light mana.

It was her skill to control the mana with her mind and body. Therefore, she could make a light shield without needing a shield in her hand.

The shield just helped give it a more solid base. The clang that resounded was not expected since the light shield was made of mana and not of metal.

But the force behind it caused cracks to appear on the ribs of the chaotic monstrosities' bones. Small pieces of bone fell on to the ground.

It disintegrates causing a roar of chaotic mana to bleed out in pain from the chaotic monstrosity. When Su jumped back to avoid the clawed skeletal hands, Midnight had pounced forward.

Dense skeletal armor mixed with darkness mana covered her body. Flames of orange radiated from her claws.

She had taken her dragon form for this entire battle, right fully so. But what that meant was that she was not fooling around.

She slashed out with her claws six times causing decaying dark mana to eat away at the bones even more. For flames to burst up and start to burn away more of the ribs.

The chaotic monstrosity forced her away though. The slam of its arm on Midnight cracked her scales and sent her tumbling.

These sickening sounds of Midnight's scales breaking and the sight of her laying on the ground barely moving made the entire party's hair stand on end.

"How dare you rotten pile of garbage!" Su taunted it immediately, taking the danger of Midnight.

But Remey was the one that flared up the most. She had taken the residual fire mana from the claw strikes that midnight had just used.

They condensed as wings of flame and claws of flame appeared around Remey's body. She had not used this form much, but she felt the strength of it.

The herbs in her pouches on her hips began to burn adding even stronger effects to the condensed flames. No other alchemist could fight like this, but Remey could.

She could bring the contained fire mana within the herbs and use them to enhance her flames. That was how she struck out piercing through the leg of the chaotic monstrosity which had attempted to dodge the fearsome attack.

It knew well that the attack would deal more damage than just physically. That was just instincts that anyone could feel when Remey attacked.

She could damage a soul. Could damage whatever was deeper than just the body.

But again, the arm of the chaotic monstrosity lashed out. This time sending a condensed slash of chaotic mana.

Instead of corrupting things though, it caused Remey's mana to go wild. The flame body she had created to boost her strength flickering and falling avert.

The slash also pushed her back and making her stomach bleed. Su could only catch her to hold her up.

But that caused Su to begin to bleed too. No shield meant the full brunt had hit her as well.

"Gil, distract it!" Onyx reared up and seemed to be preparing a large attack. Gil didn't see a reason not to help.

He had just seen three of his family get hurt very badly by this monster that was not only trying to create itself a body so it could destroy more, but also that could destroy the entire world she knew. All his family.

All he had ever cared for. They could all perish.

"I call upon my blood and the blood of my blood. I call on the wind that flows through the leaves.

I call on the essence that I am and that is all around me. I praise my ancestors for their wisdom.

I praise my children for their curiosity." The chant Gil began seemed short.

However, the wind mana swarmed toward him while his arrows were pulled from their quiver.

"Tread a path which had never been tread.

Call forth a name that has never been sung. Be one with the very spirit of the wind and the very spirit of the forest.

May every arrow strike true. May my people smile!" What could have been a chant made up on the spot, was exactly like Gil.

he had ignored whatever it was that should make a mastery skill and summoned up what he felt. Said what he believed.

He gave his own words power. To tread his own path as the first human to unite the elves.

A hundred elemental arrows fired forward at the chaotic monstrosity. They all had been charged by his mana and guided by Zephyrs' wind.

They were aimed to cause the best damage possible so that Onyx's attack could finish this enemy that threatened everything. What he had not noticed, was that the demon lord's body was still being controlled.

It was leaping back to defend the chaotic monstrosity. Every arrow hit the demon lord's body.

Every single elemental mana surging through his body destroying, tearing, disintegrating it. Whether it was just the price he had paid for what he had done, the remnants of his body fell to the ground.

Barely bones and singed skin were left. But the chaotic monstrosity had done that to save itself from the damage.

It whipped out another condemned blade of chaotic mana forcing Gil to use the dagger she had to defend. But as they shattered, his arms were torn apart.

The deep wound bleeding profusely. Onyx hadn't stopped preparing though.

He had never used his venom the entire time that Walker had been with him. The fear that his potent venom would harm someone.

That it would kill someone he cared for. No, Onyx would never risk that.

Yet., right this moment, he knew it to be the most powerful attack he had which might help them.

So he would risk it. 21:49

Onyx hadn't stopped preparing though.

He had never used his venom the entire time that Walker had been with him. The fear that his potent venom would harm someone.

That it would kill someone he cared for. No, Onyx would never risk that.

Yet., right this moment, he knew it to be the most powerful attack he had which might help them.

So he would risk it. His mouth opened and the first spray of abyssal serpent venom laden with darkness mana sprayed on to the chaotic monstrosity.

In return, it attacked only to miss the majority of its attack. The arm used to attack had been damaged before, but was now being decayed by the darkness mana.

The venom acting as the most intense acid cutting it away. The arm fell on the ground bubbling in to a pool of venom.

"How dare you harm my family!" Onyx struck out with his tail. When he found himself being thrown away like a ragdoll, he didn't know what to do.

He had been thrust in to a world of darkness before he had understood the situation he had just been in. Walker had seen all this happen while he prepared attacks.

He couldn't understand how in just a few seconds everything had turned for the worst. Onyx had literally just had his tail slam blocked and thrown away.

Completely smashing him and creaking parts of the stone. The hole where the fragment of elemental purity had been pushed in to had begun to stabilize and less chaotic mana was flowing out.

But the chaotic monstrosity was shrill here. Damaged, but here.

And it was focused on him. Blade after blade of chaotic mana was shot at Walker.

He could only use natural mana to defend. The mana gathered in front of him only to be forced away.

Even the earth when Walker raised it from the ground to block was destroyed instantly. Every effort Walker was putting in was being broken.

The eternal codex staff from working itself even harder since Walker was constantly pulling mana through it to sue for attacks. It was becoming more than what Walker could handle When a single blade of chaotic mana made it through, Walker felt the skeletal remaining hand on his throat the next second.

The dripping blood didn't seem to even be acknowledged. Not that Walker could focus on it as chaotic mana was being forced toward his body.

Being forced to corrupt him. This monster was trying to turn him in to a monster too!

His shallow and rugged breathing could only be used to enhance his pain.

The natural mana struggling to approach in any way shape or form.
