Master Of None

To say that everyone was on high alert all night was not wrong. Everyone that had seen the tiny little beautiful lights become a massive danger had reached a new understanding of the ocean. They had gone from thinking that they were prepared to realizing that even the dangers that seemed small could be massive.

Ignus seemed to be the angriest. He had tried to burn up all the lunar algae. It was a simple matter but he had been unable to burn it with his higher ranking flame breath than others. It should have been simple, however, the saltwater, growth rate, and massive number of algae in the ocean had been too much. It had beaten him in a way.

The other dragons were in the same thought process. Rise had known that she could do nothing because her light would have made it worse. Terron had been under the deck and still avoid fighting, for the most part, he knew that he was the weakest in this situation.

Current had seen the issue and knew that he could not do much. If he used his skills and forced the water to move too much he would further spread out the lunar algae. That would have caused many more issues than help.

The same could be said for Ventus. She could have attacked using sharper wind blades. That would have cut away the lunar algae. Unfortunately, the fact that the wind would then carry the lunar algae to the top deck and cover all the dragonkin warriors that followed the royal dragons would have been much worse. She would have watched the ships and her loyal warriors become victims of her own attempt to help them.

These situations were few in their lives. The royal dragons had rarely found times when their strength would have been more of a problem than a solution. Most of dragon society was based on strength. That was why there was such a strong respect for the ancient dragons that had studied their affinity for so long. They had strength that could lead and protect their villages just by being there.

Walker understood this. He would have barely been able to protect one ship by using his mana. The lunar light was weaker than the sun but that didn't mean it would be easy to manipulate shadows on such a large scale. Mordant was able to do so because he had understood and learned about the darkness mana he had an affinity for.

The real key was that the natural mana had boosted things. The royal dragons had seen this. They were unsure about the true strength that the nature dragon had in the past. They had heard the stories and been guided by the elder in the royal court. But seeing what natural mana could do multiple times and even in a specific situation, they were impressed.

The small thing that Mordant had done was faster because of the elemental spirits helping. Normally, Mordant could have done this with more time. He hadn't been using a skill but just manipulating the mana in a way he was asked. Anyone would struggle with that to a degree if they were not prepared in advance. But that struggle had not occurred and even gone to cause Mordant to become enlightened in a way.

It was beyond what they had imagined could happen. From this point, they would have to wonder just how weak the dragons had gotten without a nature dragon for so long. The final royal dragon that they had heard about had undeniable strength, especially now that they had seen what a very young person with the same power could do.

This was all small scale though. They had trouble grasping what the scaling would be like as Walker became equally powerful in comparison to them. It was already easy to understand how the entire party had defeated beings stronger than the party itself. Now they could understand why there was such a drastic change in the other races too.

The way things evolved had been guided by unique thinking and the involvement of natural mana. "Walker, we need to clean things up. The sun will rise before we get this all done." Walker had taken the time to sit and also reflect. The new skills seemed useful but he had been more focused on one thing, the fact that one skill could be used by beings to ignore their weakness of light.

In particular, Walker had been caught on the fact that the skill mentioned vampires becoming daywalkers. "Sorry, I got a new skill. I was thinking about it a lot, but do you think this continent has monsters called vampires?" Su was caught by the question. She had originally been working to help others and saw that Walker had recovered a bit so she went to get him to help too.

"I think that they might not be monsters any more. From what the books I have read said, they were intelligent. They can even be created by humans. Maybe they are on the other continent and they are a respected race now." Su thought this for a moment but wasn't sure that Walker was going to let the thought go.

They both understood the world to be larger than they had imagined. Just the fact that there were a variety of races on their own continent made it clear that they did not know much. There could easily be multiple races on this new continent and even on other continents on the same world. That wasn't even taking in to account the elemental planes that might become a destination for the party in the future.

Too many things to think about and too many possibilities. They all made Walker's mind feel like he was in a fog. "I should stop thinking about this. It's already crazy that there are so many things happening. If we happen to run in to a race like that we will try to make allies if we can. Maybe the stories we read are not that bad."

Walker could try and think that the stories were just that, stories. However, he didn't forget the immortal king. The undead trapped in his home eternally. That ancient ruin was already evidence that races had existed on their continent before and did not anymore.

The one thing that immortal king had said though, was related to vampires that he had fought once upon a time. Vampires that were all hiding in slumber somewhere. This memory nagged at Walker for a few moments before he finally shook it out of his mind. There was always something to worry about but he had to remain focused. But it did make him wondered if he should look to return to the immortal king and have another conversation one day.

Bringing himself back to what was happening around him, Walker saw that the dead lunar algae was being gathered in one spot on the ship. Remey had emerged from the alchemy lab to examine it. She knew she had no way to help earlier but now she was able to look at things and find a way to avoid this danger again. What was better than using mana to defend against this every time? She might be able to make a potion that helped them resist it.

"Can you two get some people to bring this to the alchemy lab? It has a dormant state, right? That means that I might be able to find a potion that stops it from waking up at all. We can put it on the hull of the ship and it won't even grow on it!" Remey was taking this theory from the other potions made to prevent herbs from spreading.

Any herbalist or farmer would have experience with this. They would buy these herbicide potions to protect their livelihood and also to control dangerous herbs from growing. Remey just had to experiment. Once she was able to make it she would be ankle to protect every single ship every single night they were on the water. It would more than make up for her inability to help earlier.

"You can really make that happen? If you do we can fix it to my arrows too. I want to make sure that our path is clear as far as we can see." Gil joined in on this immediately. He had understood that any of his arrows would have caused more issues in this last event. Fire arrows would have failed to burn anything, ice arrows would make obstacles, and wind arrows would cause more lunar algae to breed around them.

"Looks like you have everyone's help. We will bring it to the alchemy lab." Walker Su and Gil immediately got to work so Remey could focus. It was just right for them to help out like this.
