The three dragonkin had made quick work of the remaining assassin jackets that crawled around for the ti being. Walker had sat for a mont to contemplate how easy it had just been to pull at the natural mana. Between him and Fleur, it appeared that they had beco much closer to the natural mana than before.
Overall, Walker had the goal of becoming a true sage while also becoming the nature dragon. It was part of what he wanted to do in life. The power he would have with those official titles would allow him to protect a great many people. But it would also bring him closer to the mystery that the world was.
Fleur had been growing as well. The bonds between Walker and Fleur were actually much stronger than they had been. Just by looking within himself, Walker was able to find this. The reason he had missed it was that he had been too busy lately. He had forced himself to move on and on over and over without enough rest. His mind had beco just slow enough to miss sothing tied to his very soul.
The addition of strengthened bonds between Fleur and him made Walker much more in tune with what Fleur felt. He could feel her using her own natural mana that made up her body to influence the natural mana around them. This was how every elental spirit was able to manipulate their elental mana. But Walker had never been able to sense this because he had not reached that level of understanding.
Most elves knew this fact and Walker could have gathered it from what had happened after he had seen elental spirits use their mana. They always had to rest for so ti to recover. It was the sa as anyone else that use their mana.
But, what was truly a tell of how important this was, was the fact that elental spirits were mana with a will. They had an intellect and could control the mana of their body differently than the mana around them. Through the bonds they had with whoever carried their spirit mark, they could increase their mana as well.
Walker was constantly providing his mana and fleur her mana to one another. Because of this, Walker had a better connection with natural mana. It flowed through his body already. And the amount that moved through his body had been getting stronger and stronger, he had just not realized it because he had been distracted!
"Alright, we are going to fly back. If you let carry you, I can get you three back as well. Or are you able to keep up?" Walker taunted the three dragonkin a little.
"As warriors under the honorable lord, we are able to use the shadows to move much faster. Please do not worry about us." The leader of the three dragonkin replied with respect.
"That just sounds like you want to say you can keep up with us easily. Let make myself a pair of wings and we can race." Walker used the elental wings skill and created a pair of purely wind elental wings. He knew doing this would lower the mana cost and also allow him to shape the wings better for himself.
"Race!" Midnight exclaid this the second that Walker had created his wings. She was already in the air leaving the four of them in the dust.
"Well, you heard her, my champion said race." Walker laughed while he took off too. His speed was much more than when he was running through the air before. The wings of wind that he had created were gathering the wind elental mana to push him even further. But what Walker could feel was that he could go even faster if he desired.
The manipulation of wind was sothing that Walker had seen from Gil and Zephyr a few tis more than most people. Add on the fact that Walker had paid careful attention to Ventus when she flew around, he had learned even more about the use of wind elental mana.
The sudden push in the air was enough to make a wave that brought a large breeze to the area around him. It was nothing harmful and by the ti it reached the ground it was a gentle gust. But the amount of mana used was enough to propel Walker right past Midnight and toward the ship.
He could already see the reactions of the look outs and archers who were dumbfounded that Walker was sohow in the air moving at such speeds. He swore he could see Rise just above a cloud shaking her head as if she was looking at a child playing around. But to be fair, Walker was kind of playing around.
His landing was a little less elegant than normal since Walker had to use the wind to keep himself from slamming in to the top deck of the ship. It caused a decent amount of wind to push a few of those on the ship around. They gave looks of annoyance that Walker had to wave an apology for before Scylla ca to stand in front of him again.
"I take it that things went well?" Scylla glanced at Midnight landing right behind Walker with three dragonkin also hopping from the shadows on to the shop. They seed a little out of breath and Midnight was clearly fired up for another test of speed.
"It did, I was able to put out the embers, flatten out the land, and help the grasses start to grow again. It was a lot faster since I managed to find these three working together to clear so of the assassin jackets. They also watched my back with Midnight as I did it all." Walker hadn't planned to find guards but had been glad that he did. Not that he doubted Midnight could have handled the weakened assassin jackets.
"Good, then I will make that location as one to watch out for in the future. I have spoken to a few of the researchers we brought on the ship. They read through their knowledge and have ntioned that the eggs left underground may be viable for another queen to hatch. It could be years but it is always good to have a notice made. Potentially, the taming guild could go to search for them."
This made sense, the eggs could be dormant like many monster eggs could be. Onyx was living proof of this and the first person that Walker thought of when Scylla said this. "Walker! What did you bring? Anything good!?" Gil had not wasted a second. He had a feeling that Walker had brought back a good haul of monster materials.
"Go ahead, I am interested as well." Scylla had a grin on her face. She was clearly excited to see what would be made in to even more arrows, armors, and various weapons before they reached the ocean. The more they had at their disposal, the more they could do to protect the ship. It was only in their best interest, or, in Scylla's battle interest.
Walker sighed slightly before he realized that this had been planned ahead. Scylla had motioned for a few soldiers to bring out a sheet to cover the space in front of Walker. It would protect the tal of the top deck from any monster blood that could wear away at the integrity.
"I had a lot of help from these three gathering what they could. That's why there are so many parts. And a lot of them are partially broken down. Gil, you should get Rey though. They have valuable poison that can be used for more antidotes."
"I will take care of that. Alice and I already told Rey to start on the basics. We will bring them to her." Alice and Su were wearing so protective leather gloves and aprons. They had been ready for this as soon as they could be.
"I didn't know that you two were becoming alchemists too. I look forward to what you are working on." Walker could see that Alice and Su were very dedicated to their goals and watched them begin to gather the poison from the assassin jacket stingers.
"We have a few ideas about how to use the poison in the water. If we concentrate it and then pour it around a swarm of underwater monsters, we can stop them in their tracks. It might not kill anything but it is defensive. Leon actually had the idea when he ca abroad to eat. A few of his rfolk are in the dining area right now." Since Walker had not seen Leon in a while, he nodded his thanks to Su and Alice for this information before he headed off to et with Leon. He also could use a bite to eat.
