Master Of None



The movements of the group were close and quick. They were all ready to face the massive force of undead in the next ceremony hall. They could feel the pressure of mana as the rituals had begun. The lesser mummified priests had certainly begun their process to ensure they awakened more undead. More evil things that would continue to kill as much as they could. 

"Let's get ready for this." Walker took a deep breath and used the multi buff skill on everyone. He was sure that they would need it since they were about to rush in to the thick of battle. However, his attempts were shaken by a sudden increase in pressure when it came to the mana ahead of them. 

"They are raising those undead!" Everyone heard Walker. It was clearly what the mana and pressure was all about. What else could it be that was causing such a change. The cracking of bones, the sounds of undead, and even the feeling of dread that came around all of them was surely the rise of new enemies. 

"Attack now!" Walker charged in to the chamber and began to create flames instead of another attack. He was sure that fire would be the most time against the high number of mummified worshippers. Even though it was dangerous to use flames in such a setting like the ruins, he had to do what would defeat the most undead at once. 

Yet, when the entire group came to see what was in the massive ritual chamber, they all halted. Silent and in awe. 

The pressure everyone had felt was not the undead. It was the royal dragons. Standing in different spaces with multiple undead torn to pieces before them. Their claws had even torn through the stone coffins destroying runes and shattering the bodies of the slumbering undead. Mordant stood in the center next to multiple lesser mummified priests. They were all slashed apart with a slow claw attack. As if they were nothing. 

"You have impeccable timing Walker, we managed to find this room just now and proceeded to end any chance that they will raise these undead. I see that you managed to gather another group to meet us." Ventus spoke calmly. She was the only royal dragon that was not silent other than Rise who was using a light elemental skill to engrave a light draconic rune on the ground. One that radiated the light elemental mana she pushed in to it so that it would cleanse the area. 

"We were about to go to battle against this massive ritual hall. It seems you were faster though." The strength that the dragons had was overwhelming. The weak undead here were nothing in front of them. The entire group of soldiers behind the party knew that they would have taken five if not ten times the length of battle that the dragons did. They had dealt with such a place in an instant. 

"Then we robbed you of the experience. I assume you also gained the quest to destroy the rituals. We managed to clear eighteen chambers smaller than this and now this one. I believe that we have also managed to find the direct route to the large hall. We would have gone from where you came next." Ventus was still calm, but there was a slight glint of violence in her eyes. She had not shown her battle prowess much. But in the last few hours she had greatly shown her power and violence. 

"Then it sounds like it is time to group back up and march down to the real ruins. I assume you all already figured it out? Those pillars hold this entire dome up. We are breaking in through the roof. The ruins weren't always below the sand." Walker saw the other dragons react to his words finally. Especially since he had made a move to seal the undead in the sand too. They could all understand what he thought. The theory had come to them as well. 

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm "That means we might have room to fly. I will bring the light of the sun to them."

"No, I can rain flames on them. It would end their attacks easily." 

"Stop wasting mana. Both of you know that battling physically will be the best move. We may face a real challenge soon." Current was acting as the voice of reason. Lacking water, he was forced to fight with his strength and not use any skills that required water. It was very annoying and definitely causing him some strain. 

"Current is right, reserve mana since Rise can make them all weaker with the light skills she has. Then Mordant can handle whatever masses there are while Ventus and I head to crush their leader." Mordant was acting as if there were no soldiers for the party even there. He had become wholly focused on defeating the undead himself now. It was odd, but none of the other dragons ignored it. The only one seemingly struggling was Ignus who wanted to burn away the undead and reclaim the ruins of the flame dominator dragon left behind. 

"We are ready to keep moving when Walker finished encasing the undead remains in sands and stone. Alice and I were ready to battle with light but we can hold on to more mana now that you are here." Su took a step to keep in line with Rise. they all knew that the more they relied on one another, the stronger their light skills would be. Especially since Rise had a massive amount of light elemental mana with her. 

"Very good, I also see that the archer has an interesting arrow too?" Rise was focused on Gil who looked slightly disappointed but also had been prepared for battle. 

"I did, it's a new way to use damaged arrows. I stuck the arrow heads together to make an exploding elemental arrow. A little of Remey's potion making and a lot of my arrow making." Gil showed the arrow head that appeared to be ready to break at any moment. Attacked was the tiniest glass vial of an explosive potion that Remey had made. It was just enough to shatter the arrow head on impact. 

"Hmm, very good. I can sense unstable light elemental mana within that crystal arrow head. If you use it, the undead will suffer greatly. I expect you to be using it when we make it to our next location." Rise was showing a lot more interest. It appeared that she had become very focused as well on battles against the undead. Right now she wanted to see one thing and one thing only, the destruction of more undead no matter the method. 

"Mordant, we are heading to the large passageway now. That great hall or whatever will probably have some stronger undead. We will need to let the soldiers heal before pushing in to it." Walker made sure to speak with Mordant calmly. He knew that Mordant had the strongest ability in the ruins because of the darkness mana around. But also that Mordant was very angry when it came to the fact that it appeared those in this ruin had abused any and all darkness affinities they had. It, made him and anyone with the same affinity look evil to the core. 

"I will let the soldiers gather. We are leading a grand battle to whatever leader they have." Mordant's calm response left only Ignus for Walker to worry about. But Remey was already speaking with him. 

"Gil already bragged to Rise about my explosive potions, but I have more for us to use. These ones have a weird powder ore that was found. It's called yellow phosphorus. It's unpopular in alchemy but used in some forging. I managed to add it in to my explosive potions when my fellow founding alchemists showed it off to me." Ignus had been easily distracted by the red and bubbling potion in Remey's hands. "A bigger space means I can finally let it loose." 

The wicked grin that bloomed between the two made it certain that Ignus and Remey were going to be using these potions for all they were worth. It appeared that while Gil had been holding a new card to use, Remey had been holding one for some time as well. They had held them aside because of the dangers they showed and the brutality they had when used. But now that they had an evil force to use them on and could use them away from others, it was free reign to let them out. 

The defending of their own force allowed Walker to accept the usage of these new weapons. But he also worried that the two were getting a little eccentric with their creations. The two had made some dangerous things again. The only one that seemed to feel the same as Walker was Midnight, but she was still handing on to a lot of light elemental mana so she did not focus on him or the others too much. She wanted to use a powerful attack when she had the chance as well.
