Master Of None Chapter 1258 1258. Testing It Out

'The skill burning stone puppet has been taken from the elental puppet master system. The skill burning stone puppet has been learned through precise control and balance of elental mana, skills, and knowledge.'

'Burning stone puppet- 40 mana cost, earth mana, fire mana

The user will blend a large amount of their own mana in to ambient earth and fire elental mana. The user must possess skills to manipulate and shape fire and earth elental manas to create this puppet. The user will retain the connection to the puppet using fla stings. This constant feed of mana will allow the user to control it without needing to move their own hands. This is considered an ideal protector for a weak bodied puppeteer. The strong defensive force combined with the heat of fire causes burns on any that attack it. While slow, it is incredibly hard to break with the connection remaining intact so that the user can repair the burning stone puppet at will. The burning stone puppet can fall out of elental harmony if the elental mana connection is lost causing it to fall to pieces or lt in to magma.'

'The skill fla strings had been taken from the elental puppet master system. The user has learned the skill fla strings due to related skills and current experiences.'

'Fla strings- 1 mana cost per minute

The fla strings require very high concentration, therefore, co with a consistent mana cost per minute. The user can reduce this by training with the particular fire elental mana and understanding it better. The user will be able to control strings made of fire that only require mana or air to burn. The strings are not very strong but can be used to attach or create other things. They are ideally made by puppeteers to control their puppets.'

Everyone stopped. They had been watching Walker work on his skill combination since it had beco more and more evident that it was becoming sothing intense. However, when they saw the golem with flas in its joints, they were stunned. It was completely unexpected. Not only this they saw Walker trying to control it through small flaming strings. It was as if he had just changed in to a different person before their eyes.

"Rey, bring it on!" Walker was barely finishing another mana potion. The constant concentration and mana for these skills was too much to keep up for a long ti until he had trained it more. Yet, he could not resist the urge to train it under pressure. He wanted to feel the strength this burning doll had. He wanted to see what he could do with it and what weaknesses it left him. He needed to know if he could protect everyone with this around him.

"I'll shatter that stone thing you made. Just watch out and don't cry after!" Rey's face twisted in to a battle ready smile. The alchemy fire spirit couldn't resist the urge to enhance the fire affinity knuckles that Rey swapped to. She was going to fight fire with fire since she saw that the burning doll had flas between the joints. It would be safer for her to convert the flas in to alchemy fire when she ca in to contact with it. Therefore mitigating the damage taken and enhancing her attacks.

She had made a little progress changing the defense breaking palm in to a punch. She understood that it ca with the way she struck. The vibrations that ca from using her palm were where the damage ca from. Thus, if she changed the way she struck and replicated the vibrations then she would cause the sa damage with a fist while adding the elental effects to it.

The burning stone puppet slowly swung a club like arm down on her. Rey's speed was too fast for it and she dodged by a hair's breadth. This was perfect for her to get to the side of the puppet and strike out. The hit didn't even produce a spark though. The fire that Rey had tried to control had lost its strength when she had attempted to change the way her fist would hit the golem. She had to rge the two skills better. Yet, she needed to jump and roll back first. The puppet swung its arm sideways to try and attack her again. Walker was sweating heavily while controlling it since he had to use the flas and the earth to change the direction of each attack.

The next strike that Rey tried was a quick burst of speed so that she could get underneath the puppet's guard. She punched straight at the stomach area causing a slight crack. However, the flas still did not show the sa as they would when she would normally attack with the elental fist. The small vibrations had caused more damage. The change in shape had started to create the defense breaking fist she wanted. "Again!" Her shout was loud and powerful enough to make everyone focus on this training more. They had not realized that Rey was taking this so seriously. That she had truly committed to being better about balancing her training and alchemy.

"Give it all you have!" Onyx thumped his tail on the ground in encouragent after he moved to the ground. He felt the energy and wanted to see Rey break the new skill Walker had just learned. The skill that was taking so much of Walker's concentration.

Reney didn't let up. While the club like arms of the doll swung about and more patches of burnt grass shown around them, as the technique refined. The cracks she created were slower and slower to heal as Walker controlled the puppet. Small sparks of alchemy flas gathered with each hit. They grew and grew slowly covering Rey's fists in alchemy fire as the alchemy fire spirit danced above her. It shouted in joy as her partner beca one with the alchemy fire that it was made up of. They were reaching a whole new level of bond together.
