Master Of None

The draw of light elemental mana around Alice had definitely improved. She had gained a skill that allowed her to passively pull it toward her when she was preparing to sing. It was a common skill called vocal warm ups that most song related systems had. From what Walker could see it was very useful in relaxing her vocal cords and increasing the mana she had an affinity for.

Fleur had become very interested in all of this since she had not seen this sort of thing happen yet. She could also tell the difference in what kind of elemental mana was being pulled near them and she knew that it was light. This was not the same as when Gil and Zephyr used their skills with wind mana so she was even more interested.

"Alright. I will make some earth dummies and I want to see your attack skills. Your buff skills will be very useful to everyone but I don't care about those. I would prefer you are protected yourself." The idea that Walker had was that Alice might only be able to efficiently add buffs to the group battling around her. This was great for everyone that was in battle and would make things safer overall. Unfortunately, the buff skills would not defeat an enemy attacking her.

When it came to her skills, Alice knew that Walker was not doubting her. She had been watching him and understanding his feelings long enough to know that he was trying to make sure that she would not be harmed in the least. But what she knew for sure was that Walker didn't realize that she felt the same way whenever he left for an adventure. This time she wanted to be there to protect him and watch his back. As much as Walker was a hero with a creative mind, he was still thick headed.

After a deep breath, the mana began to change around Alice. She could not sing a song creating many blades of light due to the incredible amount of mana she needed. But, she could push herself to control three at once. The three blades of light forced in to the shape of swords. Alice had been inspired by storybooks of long forgotten heroes and fantasy characters. The swords had doubles blades and could float around here just like a sword saint with real swords.

Walker channeled some of his mana in to the ground and after a short rumble, many earth pillars formed.

'The skill earth dummy has been taken from the magical trainer system. The skill earth dummy had been automatically learned through multiple user actions over time.

Earth dummy- 10 mana cost

The user can add their mana to the surrounding earth to create twenty earth dummies. The earth dummies are tough condensed earth that allows for multiple hits to take place before it crumbles. The earth dummies are able to resist most elemental magic to additionally be used for stringer skills. The more earth dummies made in an area will decrease their strength. The shaping of the dummies is easier for the user as long as they have the applicable skills.'

When the skill showed up Walker was not as surprised. He had made earth dummies or pillars multiple times before to help everyone train. This was just the first time that he had specifically made them for Alice. But he decided that it had been enough for him to get the skill.

Alice had begun to sing a song about the sharpness f a blade that sliced through all evil. It was a song that perfectly enveloped the idea that light elemental mana was there to push away the darkness and defend someone.

While Alice sand about them pursuing her enemy and illuminating their souls, the three blades danced around one of the earth dummies. They slashed at the surrounding dummies showing Walker just how controlled her song was. They could perfectly surround the one using them if she so desired and defend them. But what made Walker look in awe was when the sing changed and became slightly lower.

The swords were joined by a flat circle of light acting as a shield. From what Walker could remember, Alice had created a song of shields that would make multiple. This had to be a variation of that and the song of swords that she was singing. The combination made a rotating light elemental mana shield around her and only two swords slashing around at dummies. The combination was ideal for a battle with more than one opponent to protect herself.

Feeling that she was using a lot of mana, Alice decided to stop both attacks and look at Walker. She knew that she would need to rely on the armor and clothing that the wandering blacksmith and Lisa would make her to decrease her mana use. There would also be the number of mana potions she would use. Ideally, she would only need a lot of low tier mana positions to constantly regain her mana instead of drinking a higher tier mana potion as fast as possible. It was easier for her to carry around the slightly smaller low tier mana potions.

"I have to admit. You have been working harder than any of us have noticed. That was pretty amazing. I haven't figured out how to do any of that with light elemental mana." Walker was telling the honest truth. He found that he was jealous of how well Alice could manipulate the light elemental mana with her words. If he could manage something like that he would be able to attack for a decent amount of time due to his mana pool.

"On the journey, we are most likely taking the fastest route. That means through the swamp lands. We are going to face poison. That means we will need someone to purify the poison. Can we rely on you for that?" Walker knew that Alice should be the best person to do such a thing and keep their travel at a faster pace.
