"You're looking for opponents right? Are you a magic attacker or front line attacker? I don't see much defensive gear so you can't be a defender." One of the swordsn grabbed Walker's attention and wanted to figure out what they would be going against.
"Eh I can do whatever, but for this I want to learn with this." Walker pulled the domineering hamr from his storage space. The shine glinted in the sun and made his sparring partners envious.
"Pretty showy huh? That's fine, we will take the agility advantage." The other swordsman took it that the hamr would slow Walker down enough to have so easy wins. Unfortunately for the swordsman they did not know that it have been made specially to be lighter while retaining strength.
The two beckoned for Walker to move to an open space where they could take turns sparring. "Gale stay back at the stairs to the back door and do not move in to the field. It is dangerous." Walker was t with a lot of nodding and a thumbs up. He knew that she had a good sense of street smarts so she would not intentionally get in to trouble.
Su had moved off with the group of font tile fighters and was already using her shields to block their punches. She was taking on all of them at one ti and did not seem to be allowing any punches through. Strangely enough it seed that she was not just kicking and deflecting but also doing it in the most efficient way. Her ti training with the two shields was definitely showing.
"Do you have high enough magic defense to withstand so wind magic?" The magic user with the two swordsn spoke up with a quiet voice. The girl was fairly shy looking but the small staff she held, there were small green elental mana crystals embedded in it. They were definitely of a wind elent that could increase her magic.
"I am pretty confident that I can deal with so wind. That staff looks pretty great for wind magic." Walker knew that the staff was very rare to have at a lower level as an adventurer. It could make all the difference in a battle.
The mage nodded. "I am testing this new weapon so just make sure you all are able to dodge well." Walker smiled as he raised the hamr and gave it a test swing. He needed to get used to the feel. When he ca down with it for the fifth ti he tried to channel a single point of mana through it and found a similar feeling to his grand elental manipulation skill. He could use his mana to influence the elental mana to gather in the hamr. This was all he needed to prepare.
"Well then I will be first." The tallest swordsman drew his sword and fell in to his stance. He did not have his shield raised much and focused on his sword. Walker saw this as a flaw he could go after so he decided to raise the hamr and jump forward with a downward smash.
The speed he used was a surprise to the swordsman causing his to slash out and barley parry the hamr. However the hamrs weight was not easily pushed aside and still grazed him. When it hit the ground a small amount of flas sparked out.
Walker had only channeled the smallest possible amount of fire elent in to the hamr wanting to make sure he did not go overboard. This little test showed him that the hamr could act as the catalyst for flas by making sparks when it made contact. Even more as he jumped back to gain distance he could already feel the water in the air being pulled to the hamr. He wanted to try the water elent next.
Seeing the small amount of sparks the swordsman knew that if the hamr landed he could be burned. "Magic weapon huh? That's pretty valuable. Don't cry when I break it!" He dashed forward with his sword pointed like a spear. The blade was very straightforward just like the penguin attack from the plains; but they were faster. Walker easily turned to the side and started to bring the hamr down again, but the swordsman was wary of this and dodged himself.
Again the hamr slamd in to the ground causing a thud, this ti it caused a small spot of icicles to burst up. When it ca in to contact with the ground it had pulled more water elental mana from the deeper part of the ground to produce this effect. Walker slightly shuddered at what this could do to an enemy and decided that he could hold off on it for training.
This put his sparring partner more on guard. Walker liked this and used it as his chance to advance. He swung the hamr forward allowing his body to flow with the montum to get his steps farther. "Try this on for size!" Walker channeled the wind elental mana in to the hamr with his swing. The sideways swing caused a rough and blunt burst of air that knocked the swordsman back.
With his opponent completely staggered Walker headed in with a downward swing on to the swordsman's shoulder. He held back enough so it would not cause any harm but the slight bit of darkness elent he had begun to channel in to the hamr had a very interesting effect.
Walker had wanted to test out the use of darkness elental mana and pushed a very small amount in to the hamr. The swordsman's shadow reacted to this reaching up and wrapping itself around the swordsman's legs. It was not a full proof trap, but it definitely caused the swordsman to stagger and fall. Walker held the hamr up , "My win."
This test of the hamr's ability to channel the elents had given a very good result. Not only was it basically an extension of his own body. It could also add more physical damage to his magical attacks. Just like Gil Walker would be able to switch between these two forms of attack without fail. Not just that but he could put them together to deal a very surprising attack to an enemy.
"Alight, you gave my brother a pretty good run for his money. But I know how to use my shield so don't think that fancy magic hamr can do much against ." The slightly shorter but more muscle bound swordsman ca over after helping his brother up. "I think I can put you off your feet." The smile he had was only for show, there was a serious glint in his eyes the other swordsman had lacked.
Walker was happy to hear this challenge because he wanted to use his high earth sculpting and his grand elental manipulation in tandem with the hamr. He had an idea of how he would trap an opponent. There weren't more words as the two moved in to battle, they were just feeling each other out much slower than the previous sparring.
They quickly found that the other was able to keep up and that Walker was even a little faster, especially when it ca to dodging. The strikes that this swordsman put out were much sharper, they had a lot more training behind them along with strength. Walker was sure to dodge them more than he needed with the dance of the wild rabbit. It was much tougher using the skill holding a hamr.
This was an small adjustnt though since he had held more than a few weapons in his ti and was used to the adjustnt needed. After a minute of dodging the strikes he found a chance to swing down. However this was what the swordsman wanted and already had the shield moving upwards. However what they did not expect was that Walker had been channeling the light elental mana in to the hamr from the sunlight.
There was a bright flash that completely blinded his opponent giving Walker the chance to use the opposite end of the hamr to knock away the swordsman. The shield had no chance to get in the path of the end of the hamr. This left his opponent wide open for the next attack.
Walker had seen Rey use her combos many tis, he decided to follow what he had seen and add more swings to his attack. He started to mix the elents in to the swing as the swordsman tried to retreat. He did not use elental man in each of his swings so that his opponent would have no chance to figure out which attacks were safer to block or not. As a result there was the one sided dodging battle happening now. This was what Walker was planning though, he had the earth elental mana gathered in to the hamr along with a clear idea on what shape he wanted it to take.
