Master Of None-Chapter 1674 1674. Work Together For Once
"Well, I kind of just did throw it together. I might have used my skills but it's not like I had these things already. I just get a feeling and follow it." Walker really wasn't sure what to say. Gil might tease him no matter what just for fun.
"So that ice. Umm, abyssal ice, what can it be used for? Do you think I can make anything with it?" Gil was always focused on arrows. It was normal for any archer. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
"If you want arrows made of it, then give me an arrow to copy and I will see." Walker watched as Gil handed him an average wooden and iron arrow from his quiver. It was nothing special but the easiest arrow to make that he knew Walker had seen many times before.
Having some abyssal ice that Walker was already maintaining, he started to shape it. The process brought all eyes back to him on the top deck since he had already gained the attention of a few water mages and dark affinity dragonkin.
The crystals that had been formed in the shadows of darkness mana were hard to shape without manipulating both manas perfectly. Some of the crystals shattered as they appeared from the shadows. Others were able to mold themselves in to the shape of an arrow darker than coal.
This was the second time that Walker was making waves with the water and darkness mana. Enough to finally draw the attention of Mordant and Current who had been studying their own affinities for mana.
"Shh, he just fused water and dark manas. It made some abyssal ice thing and he is making it an arrow for me." Gil saw the two dragons coming and warned them of Walker's concentration. They were not at all offended since they were interested in what was happening in the first place.
Seeing the fusion of the two elemental manas gave the two royal dragons a strange feeling. Mordant understood it better than Current though. He had touched on the plane of darkness mana. He knew that this skill had to originate there from the density of mana and how it did not flow the same way as the usual shadows.
Current was more confused though. He could feel the odd way that the ice froze and how the water elemental mana was denser than usual. But if he tries to prove and take it to understand it, he would ruin the skills Walker was using. This wasn't normal for him, he had always held the highest understanding of water, now he felt a little lost.
"It's kind of rough. The arrow doesn't want to stay a solid shape so the shadows are being affected by the extra darkness mana in the abyssal ice. But it should still fly true. I would say it will cause some decaying and very cold freezing effects on whatever you hit."
Walker came out of his focus in a slight daze while explaining. He hadn't noticed Mordant and Current arriving since he dedicated his full focus to manipulating the abyssal ice that he was still a little lost about when it came to manipulating and using it.
"You haven't been to the true plane of darkness or water?" Mordant didn't even wait to ask. He was sure that Walker had not but he needed to hear it.
"No, but this is a skill that some monsters have that live on the overlapping areas of the darkness and water plane." This confirmation made Mordant more excited.
"I stopped my elemental absorption at the right time. This is much more worthy of my focus. Can I have some to watch it?" Current looked at Walker too and he knew that both wanted it but Mordant had just asked first.
"Let's make a little pile here. The three of us can try to understand it as the ice melts and breaks down. And Gil, that arrow won't last. The mana is escaping it."
"Well, I knew that. I just want to see if you can make an arrow with it. If you can…we can use it in battle too." Gil was sure he could have Walker make him plenty of unique arrows. He wouldn't have to use his stash of arrows which he spent a lot of effort on at all.
The water mages and the dark affinity dragonkin saw the three sitting down and Gil leaving. They understood that those above them would be learning a lot from the fusion of darkness mana and water mana. So they decided to find others to take their positions from them and learn as well. Just being in the presence of other elemental magics could help them improve. That was why it was important to train under a mage with much more experience or a better system.
"Did you make this so that we would work together more?" Mordant stopped what he was doing for a moment. He had been trying to feel the depths of the darkness in the abyssal ice until this thought had occurred to him.
"To be honest, no. But since you mention it, yes. We should get all the royal dragons working together more. What had you accomplished apart lately? You are better together. If the earth and fire dragons worked together, then the armors you all want can be made faster. If the wind and water dragons work together, then the affinity potions might become higher quality from the herbs being grown better. Those are just a few examples to follow."
"You understand that you are asking us to change our ways again. I am like the water, I flow with what is happening. But it might not be possible for me to flow in that way.' Current had accepted a lot of what Walker had said. But he had also understood that there were lines he did not want to cross.
"Then why are you sitting here? There is a perfect example of what can come of fusing your two abilities. The condensed manas that you both nourish can become this. Something that both of you can't obtain on this plane. What would happen if you both encountered a monster from the elemental planes? Would you win? Or would you lose?"
The way that Walker went around this was harsh. He understood that Mordant was already more open to changes. He would definitely work with other dragons. However, he had not imagined that Current would resist. It was a strange change in personality. Yet, it most likely came from the fact that so much was happening and none of the dragons were in their comfort zone any longer. They had left their villages for the first time in a long time. Even Terron was braving the ocean depths. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
"You think that I would lose to-"
"Yes, we would lose. You have not yet touched the ideals and values that come with the water elemental plane. I have touched upon the shadows that shift in and out of the darkness elemental plane. I know what resides there. We are weak by comparison. Have you not understood why I am so accepting of everything? My pride is worthless if every dragon perishes under my orders."
The angry side of Mordant never showed. This shook many around him. The waves of shadows seemed to shift in turmoil while Mordant glared at Current. This wasn't just for show, it was the complete accidental release of power while Mordant became angry.
"That is why I want you both to work together. You already know that nature dragons were the most powerful of all of the dragons. They are rare, but they are a fusion of all elemental mana. If every single dragon works together, then you can all have the power of or even above the nature dragons of history." This seemed to calm Mordant and little and stop Current from reacting with anger.
"If you believe that to be the case, I will give it a chance. You must convince the others. I will take no part in that. It is not something I wish to bring down upon others." Current was stalwart in his beliefs. However, seeing the reaction that mordant had made him realize that he was not necessarily in the best shape. Mordant had definitely believed every word he said. That being the case, it would be foolish not to take caution.
"I will talk to them too. I might not have seen the elemental planes… but I know there are monsters there that use this ice. And they can't be the strongest there are. I have seen a few from the light elemental plane. Maybe I should speak to Rise next. She is the oldest out of all the royal dragons. She might have already touched the plane of light too." Walker made this his goal for later before the two royal dragons around him calmed down for the time being.
