"Midnight, that's the third silver haired raccoon you have used your fla claws to shred. You need to calm down. If you use that skill over and over you won't be able to rely on others." Walker was making a decent point. Both he and Su had caught her multiple tis trying to fool around with the skill since she had learned it. They had a decent journey back yet, but it was not to ss around with skills.
"Don't huff at him like that. You are going to be in charge of other hatchling dragons soon. What if they see you ssing around like that? They will learn it and be a nace to Genesis instead of helping. What will the other dragon villages say after that?" Su also made good points but it seed that Midnight had reached a slightly rebellious phase.
"Fine, alright. Use the skill. You can have all the fun with it that you want before we get back to Genesis. Get it out of your system. But that ans I am going to be learning a certain skill of yours too." Walker felt that it was better for Midnight to learn by doing than just by being reprimanded. He also looked back at the tis his mother had told him to do sothing after a hard day of not finding his system. His automatic reaction in his bad mood had been to do the opposite of what she asked. He wasn't ready to act like a parent.
"A certain skill?" Su was staring at Walker quizzically. She had no idea what he would be trying to learn. A single thought did co to mind though, "Don't tell you are trying to breathe flas? I can't even do that yet. Don't get too far ahead of ." To say that Su didn't have so misgivings while Walker shook his head would be a lie. She knew that he excelled in learning new things. So much so, that he would have so many skills he would not always use the most optimal or the ones he learned because he favored the newer ones he had co up with.
"Oh, it will all be fine. Just let take the back for a while so I can train." Walker let Su take the lead and watched as Midnight quickly forgot that she was curious about what Walker had been talking about. She returned to letting her flas co from her mouth in a small stream and wrapping them around her claws. She was greatly amused by the ability to both slash and burn things. That was why she had rushed the small silver haired raccoons on sight.
They weren't too valuable when it ca to hunted monsters. The silver haired raccoon was not sothing that people could eat due to the fact that they were scavengers and ate just about anything. But where their value was, was their fur. The silver shine of it made many people impressed when seeing it. Therefore, when Midnight saw it and heard Walker originally said, she went after it for Lisa. It would be another gift for her to give after her travels.
The distraction was perfect though. Walker had seen Midnight use her shadow wrapping skill too many tis to count. She would use it to walk around everywhere so nights in the mansion so that she would not get in trouble for sneaking more food. Or she would use it to scout when the party was out on an adventure. What was even more, was the fact that Walker could feel the mana changing shape and wrapping around her. Even though he had not fully focused on it and put a lot of effort in to darkness elental mana, he had a sizable experience base for what he could do with it from watching Midnight.
When the darkness mana in his shadow reacted to him Su was the only one to notice. Midnight was so used to feeling the flow of shadows around her that she had beco a little blind to it. She also was extrely distracted when she spotted another silver haired raccoon. Walker didn't even yell at her when she charged at it without thinking, which should have been a major warning to her that sothing was wrong and that she should try and see what he was doing.
"So Midnight just runs off while I copy her skill." He laughed softly while he pulled at the darkness elental mana to manipulate his shadow. He felt it was the best chance to do this since the cloudy day was adding more shadows here and there. The three had managed to climb down the mountain much faster than they had climbed up because of the other dragons clearing the path. Apparently, their pride had been dealt a blow when they had Walker bring a rogue dragon in to the court.
Just wrapping the shadows around one arm was easy enough. It was just a matter of rembering and copying clearly. The shadows almost seed to bend to his will as if they had been waiting for him to reach out to the darkness elental mana.
'The skill shadow wrapping has been taken from the shadow assassin system. The user has learned the skill shadow wrapping through extensive experience witnessing the use of the shadow wrapping skill.'
Walker didn't need to read any further. He knew the mana costs and the skills ability. Now he just needed to utilize it in the way he wanted. He had a pri target ahead of him. One that didn't seem to care that he was even pulling at her shadow a little. The only thing he needed to get over was the judging look of Su who knew exactly what was going to happen. However, she knew it was a good lesson since Midnight was totally distracted while out in the wilds.
