Master Of None

"Leader, are you sure that we should move on so fast? Midnight just grasped the concept of a wind breath attack." Su had worry all over her face. Not only had Midnight just learned to use the wind elemental breath attack but Walker was ready to jump right in to an earth breath attack.Â

"Yes. She had already been bringing the wind elemental mana to her body as she breathed. She just had to focus on it to get the result she wanted. There is also the fact that this will be one of the hardest breath attacks to learn. The earth is not something that comes easily and I have some theories on how it will work. If you need more practice gaining resistance to the wind elemental mana we can ask Zephyr?"Â

Su was indeed worried about her resistance bit it was clear that training it with Midnight could leave her badly injured by a wind blade. "I will ask Zephyr for assistance. I just wanted to be sure that Midnight would not overwork herself here." Midnight shook her head to combat Su's worries. She was actually very excited that she had grasped the easy to learn wind elemental breath attack.Â

"I know you are also worried about learning earth elemental breath attacks. The Theories I have are based off of the sandstone lizard and the yellow python. Both live in the deserts over the mountains. The yellow python will swallow and store sand in its body to shoot it out of its mouth in a controlled stream. But you lack the organs to make that happen. I think the sandstone lizard will be the tactic that you use." Midnight and Su were both very focused on what Walker was saying and he felt that he was giving an educational lecture.Â

The sandstone lizard does not take sand or any earth in to its body at all. It bathes on the sandstone cliffs of the mountain and will gather earth elemental mana inside itself instead. This let it condense a large amount which they use to attack enemies. When it breathes it out it causes a path of stone spikes to shoot from the ground. It can also cause a miniature sandstorm but kicking the sand in to the air with its breath."Â

Both monsters managed to do something similar but Walker wanted to be sure that Midnight understood why she could not inhale earth completely. She naturally lacked the organs needed to store it without harming herself. But the sandstone lizard method sounded like it would fit here perfectly. The only thing Midnight would need to learn was how to properly gather and condense the earth elemental mana within her body. The more she practiced the faster she would be able to use the attack.Â

"That would be a good attack for me to practice dodging. If it creates earth spikes I will need to not only dodge the main attack but also the growing spikes which I assume will not be perfectly straight in to the air." Walker didn't even need to say a word for Su to figure out the best way for her to train with Midnight after the attack was learned. Both of them would be able to train their skills this way.Â

"Then I will start to prepare the ground for the training. Just let me know when you feel that the earth elemental mana is enough to start." Walker saw Midnight nod her head to him. He did not want to risk Midnight training with the earth elemental mana without him being vigilant. This was the most dangerous element to practice because if something went wrong it could be choking on earth.Â

Walker placed his hands on the ground and used his skills to shape and sculpt the earth. Around him, he made a slightly raised earth platform which he slowly willed to become sand. The process was much much faster than it had been before. The young sage title was acting very well in relation to his other elemental skills.Â

The earth elemental mana started to compress and the earth spirit that had been resting in Su's earth dwelling shield came out to see what was happening. When it saw that Walker was condensing earth elemental mana in the area it jumped right to action. It wanted to be helpful and join the training too.Â

The earth elemental mana became denser than it was by a significant amount and the earth spirit started to call out to the other nearby earth elemental spirits around the area to help. When they arrived Midnight had already given Walker a small huff as she began to breathe in a small amount of earth elemental manas.Â

The reaction she had was not what she had expected. She started to cough right away. She felt a dry feeling in her throat and knew that this was from the earth elemental mana stopping the water elemental mana in her body.Â

Walker had a close eye on Midnight who started to breathe a little fire out of her mouth to clear things up. She realized that this was not going to be as natural as the other elemental breath attacks had been and that she would need to use her own mana to somehow cover her throat to protect herself from the earth elemental mana before she easily breathed it.Â

"Leader, I am going to practice using my skills with the shields skills. It would be valuable practice for my partner here." Su motioned to the earth elemental spirit.Â

"That's a good idea. There is a lot of earth elemental mana that can recharge the dwelling shield. It's best to take advantage of it." Walker was glad that Su was planning to train with the earth elemental spirit and the earth dwelling shield. The fortress skill would be a valuable skill when the party went up against large area skills from monsters.Â
