Master Of None

"Oh, there are a few spell blades over there. How about I show you what they are capable of compared to your dragonkin?" Walker saw the perfect chance to show off how the light elemental dragonkin and spell blades could get along. Their skills would work in perfect harmony.

"Do what you must. I will keep my eyes open." Rise was still not appeased yet. She had a lot of emotions moving through her as she watched Ignus and Barry throw their words at each other.

"Hey, can you two spar with me for a little while? I have a light dragonkin warrior over here too that can use an interesting skill." Walker knew that the rumors of the fading blade skill had been able to spread. This meant that the spell blades that he called out to were more than happy to jump in to a sparring match with him and the dragonkin.

"I know you are a little on edge since your royal dragon reprimanded you just now, but for this moment, join me in a little sparring match against those spell blades. The elves have some skills you can copy and teach to others. It will also guarantee that you become stronger as a draconic guardian." The guardian jumped on this opportunity. He had no choice in the matter. Rise would punish him otherwise.

"The elven spell swords wrap their swords in their affinity mana. From there they are able to throw their blades from their weapon made of mana. The difference between the fading blade skill is similar but different because it makes a second blade that attacks after the real physical blade." Walker was sure that the guardian was learning this well from watching things already.

"I will see how they compare. Trust me, Lord, I will do my best to learn it all."

"None of that lord stuff. I am Walker and I am equal to you here. We are also going to spar together so it's easier to just say names. By the way, you still have not given yours to me." Walker was a little teasing but the guardian reacted with instant attention.

"My name is Elwin. I am the draconic guardian to my lord's champion. I will not falter in my duty to protect." The proper introduction was all Walker needed.

"Alright, Elwin. Let's show them the fading blade skill." Walker made the eternal orb change shape in to a sword so that he could easily battle on the same level as the three around him.

The two spell swords were water and earth affinity. The water affinity spell sword had been from the forest elf city but had quickly made friends with the water elves to expand on their affinity. In turn, they had become one of the quickest growing water affinity spells swords in the elven ranks.

The earth was much the same but was still behind the water affinity spell sword. This was simply because they had not had as much time to speak with the stone elves. The stone elves were still getting settled so they would be unable to properly share their knowledge for the time being. Eventually, they would be able to delve in to the depths of mana with the others in the city that were learning origin runes and other such things.

Without wasting the time, Walker was the first to make a move. He used the sword with his lightning sword style to get close. In the blink of an eye, he had easily slashed at the water affinity spell sword only to have his attack dodged like it was nothing. The elf was definitely a more agile being than he was. Unfortunately, the elf was not used to the secondary attack of light elemental mana that had gathered on Walker's sword before his initial strike.

The second blade had arched out and slashed the sleeve of the elf's shirt causing many who had yet to witness the fading blade style attack gasp. This was a drastic difference between the spell swords that were able to wrap their blades in mana.

"Let's keep this moving!" Walker jumped to slash again. He was sure that he would be able to keep the pressure on as Elwin had also begun to move.

Elwin was drastically stronger than Walker. He was a dragonkin that had trained for many more years. On top of that, he was a dragonkin guardian responsible for keeping the champion safe when out of the village. This made him grow much stronger and faster than any other dragonkin.

The impressive attack that Elwin was able to pull off had not one but three light blades were held in the air with every move that Elwin made. It was the clear discrepancy in skill from Walker who had just learned the movements that came with the skill and Elwin who had been using it over and over again.

The fluid movements had certain stopping points between moves so that the light blades could form in the air and strike out. The attacks with the swords and the light blades were making constant pressure. The earth spell blade was only able to send out one earth thrown blade before he was forced to use a bigger attack while feeling a single cut finally reach his shoulder.

The sword in the earth spell sword's hand was thrust in to the ground. All the earth elemental mana gathered on it caused spikes to shoot up around him to force Elwin back. This was not an issue though. Walker had just fended off a water thrown blade while leaving an attack to halt the water spell blade. Therefore, he was able to step in to the air and slash at the earth spell sword forcing him to call out his defeat.

"I will finish this last strike." Elwin didn't hesitate to start with a flurry of fading light sword strikes. He was showing off the strength of the style he had trained. Walker had thought that the three fading light blades were the most that could be done but he was very surprised to see that Elwin was using five.

The attacks put immense pressure on the water spell blade who was forced to draw another sword. Even then, they were only able to get out one water thrown blade that scratched Elwin's cheek before he forced the water spell blade to admit defeat.

"I understand now. If I was able to project the fading blade further I could defeat an opponent much faster and from a safer distance. I will begin to learn it." The water spell blade was more than happy to hop up and begin training with Elwin. The earth spell blade was even more amazed at the multiple fading blades that had appeared in the strikes.

"So? What did you think Rise?" Walker felt her eyes on his back. He returned the eternal orb to a chest plate form so that he could continue his tour of Genesis.

"I saw that there is more weakness than I believed in the battle styles my warriors use. If those wyverns were to come I would lose many. That is not acceptable." The idea that the wyverns would be powerful was enough to make Rise change the tune she sang.

If she were to continue to force her warriors to avoid the other races she knew that they would surpass her. She would also become the loser of the fight against them. This alone was the biggest reason that she had decided to accept the training going on here. If she didn't she would lose the pride of a dragon. Lose the position of one of the most powerful dragons still living.

"I am glad to hear that you see why it is important to bring others together. If Elwin learns to use a thrown blade skill with light and put it together with the fading sword styles he uses…well, I believe that he will be more than a perfect guardian. I just wonder how strong he is when he uses a shield. I have not seen him take it from his back."

"Most guardians have shields. The guardian of my champion had one just for show. He uses other means as defenses. That shield is to cover his back from attacks while not restricting movements." Rise was sure that Elwin could learn the shield debut that would interfere with the fading sword style.

"Then he should get armor made while here. I am sure we can have something made that will bend with his movements easily. Just have him head to the crafting guild." Walker assured Rise that this could be handled easily. Then he would be able to ask Su just what skills Elwin used as shields after she had sparred. Walker had seen her eyeing their battle excitedly. She wanted to see how she could defend against the fading blade style.
