Master Of None



'Desert quest- following trails

The flow of the wind has changed because of the disruption in wind and earth mana. The natural mana is settling but the sand tornado produced has increased in speed. Due to this, the desert will be altered differently than it was going on. As the causes of this, the local desert quest has been created. 

Requirement- follow the trail of the enhanced sand tornado until it dissipates.

Reward- skill depending on quest participant.'

The systems gave their quests as soon as Ventus started to float back to the ground. She had used an immense amount of her mana along with the wind mana in the air. That alone was enough to tire her out. But the addition of natural mana had aided her ability to recover from this leaving her able to shift back to her dragonkin form. 

The strength that Ventus displayed was enough to make everyone respect her much more. Her fellow royal dragons moved to surround her and keep her protected. The weakness that she had was not enough for anything that was running from the area of the storm to harm her, but it was out of equal respect. 

Everyone from Genesis understood that Ventus was a mother. She had taken her children with her to the demon lands. They had been left there to help the demons restructure and remain safe. That alone brought her a great amount of respect for the soldiers and demons of Genesis. Therefore, they also fell in line to protect her. The Fel Empire and the Rise Empire soldiers all saw this happen. 

This showed that the dragons were much more respected than they knew. The strength of dragons already broke any ideas they had of what dragons were, especially since dragons had been extinct to them just recently. But now, the dragons were powerful living bearings that demanded respect due to their strength and their actions.

"That was spectacular!" Ethan broke the silence as the winds around them appeared to calm somewhat. The area had just begun to settle since there was much less sand flailing from the sky and the winds were not pushing or pulling anyone. But since the Fel empire had just seen enough to shock them, Ethan could only express his own amazement. 

"It was an amazing display of wind authority. The wind elemental hall would be blessed to have you visit them." The Rize Empire soldiers knew they could not just stand and let the Fel Empire compliment Ventus. They had to act as well. 

"Walker. I have held my part here. What do you see next? You received the quest as well?" Ventus didn't show her weakness. She was clearly on the edge after such a display that altered nature itself, however, she still held her head high. She still maintained a focus on the goals they were all working to achieve. 

"Yes, I see the quest.l applicable skills to the quest means that there is a variety of things we might encounter. I assume we will all need to work carefully. Remey is already giving potions for you to drink so just follow along with her. I know that we will have what we need done soon." Walker's promise was simple. He needed Ventus to rest in case the sand tornado did not dissipate properly. 

None of them had imagined that Ventus's attack would somehow enhance the sand tornado. This meant that they had made a much more dangerous force of nature that headed for the ruins they were after. But it also meant that some of the undead might get buried, defeated temporarily, or might even get swept far away by the storm. All of this could greatly help in the battle ahead. 

"That means all soldiers are to move out!" Walker shouted much louder. While he had taken a toll when it came to his mana through this event, he was still fone. He could maintain his pace and keep gaining his mana back. But the problem they faced now was simple. Chase a literal force of nature that was already far from them. Especially now since the sand tornado was becoming a small dot to them in the distance. 

While the others had also taken their mana to protect others or themselves, it was nowhere near what Ventus and Walker had used. Alice had managed to impress many with the light shields that appeared. They had even managed to hear her song through the bustling winds which surprised many. It was enough for the Rize empire to understand her strength over light while the Fel empire had some that were now curious about her and her skills. 

Overall, it had brought more questions at the end of the day than many would have wondered before. Unfortunately, there was no time for them. They had to get moving. But that was also an issues. The sands had shifted and were been softer. Normally, days would pass where the winds were still or consistent. That would let the dunes settle. Especially since the sun would beat down and cause the trapped air or moisture to dissipate. 

But this desert was no longer natural. The white sands were unusual and definitely causing the moisture to disappear faster. That alone was a huge issue that was still a mystery. It made everyone see the white sands as slightly evil. It also caused the mud that had been made to become dried and cracked through the effects of the storm. 

Now with the white sands on top of the dunes, they were all facing the potential of dehydration that would come while they moved much faster than before. Current was definitely the hardest hit since he had been the one maintaining the majority of moisture layers over everyone. He was also the reason why any form of freezing effect could have been able to be used. His strength was key to that. 

The final new issue were monsters. The monsters that had expected the sand tornado to come for them were going to resurface. If they felt the softer white sand shifting above them, it would make them jump out faster. Now that they didn't have to worry about nature, they could worry about something else. Prey. 

The sand flies were already showing themselves. They were the weakest that could be hunted while in the sands. They were meant to fly over the sands and not be under them. If they were caught then they would be dead for sure. However, there was a silver lining here. 

The archers had been very diligent in protecting everyone. That left many defeated monsters just below the sands that still had the scent of blood around them. A few monsters had already been attracted by this. The sand flies were the perfect example. They had the most sensitive smell and were busy moving to dig up the defeated monsters or even the injured monsters that smelled just the same. 

The cries of injured scorpions or spiny mantis being uncovered was enough to push the soldiers in to a battle ready stance. Their formation tightened up as the marching increased in speed. It was a good motivator to make them all ready. The archer also took this chance to keep showing their prowess. While Gil had not stopped until a moment ago, he didn't even take a second to speak anymore. His eyes were moving constantly.

The vision that he had was much better than most. That just came with being an archer. The skills he had for seeing far away targets exceeded many, therefore, he used it to spot the injured monsters as they came out of the sands. He was able to point them out or snipe them with others. That left more prey to attract monsters away from the group. 

While some of the Fel angels were unhappy with leaving so many research specimens behind, some others like Walker, were unhappy to lose the materials. Overall, this was not a concern though. They had to make sure that they were moving forward. There were many things to do and a clear trail of sand that cut through dunes and even made large wave formations in the desert. 

The path of the massive sand tornado had made a path of sorts. While it was a tough route to travel, it was one they had to follow. What the group was surprised to see was that things had been uncovered as well by the tornado.

There were pieces of sand blasted wood that had become show, parts of plants that had long dried up years and years ago. A few skeletons even showed the saw toothed sandworm bodies that had long been forgotten by the deserts. They all were valuable all around appraisal targets for Walker as he marched forward.
