Master Of None



While there was a lot of awe and stopped soldiers while the attacks rained down from above, there were also many undead moving. From what the archers could spot, many undead had emerged and begun to look for the source of the attacks. There were also undead that used spells to create places with dark shields. 

The dark shields were a skill that Gil and the rest of the party had seen before. Dark wall was something that the darkness mages were able to use to block many attacks. It used darkness mana and their own shadow to make a wall that defended them. The fact that the undead mummified priests could use it was to be expected. 

What Walker could see as he had descended was also the rising quality of the undead. He did not spot many of the lesser mummified priests and only saw groups of mummified priests. That also meant to him that there would be many more high ranked undead when the soldiers tried to invade the massive central building. 

As much as exploring the entire ruined city would be important, they all understood that the large building, the pyramid, was where they should go. That had many undead going in and out with the stone coffins which meant there would be a ritual happening there to raise them. 

This also meant that this was the most likely place for the flame dominator dragon's ruins to be. It had been below the ground here somewhere which meant that the flame dominator had gone far to make sure it was protected. Unfortunately, this twisted race had somehow found it in a desert and built over it using decent rune formations. Then they became much worse and started twisting their ideals and seeking greater power. Therefore, they tried to break in to the legacy of the dragon and became undead. 

| It was a rough guess at the actual events but it was enough. Now the plan was simple. Since Ignus, Remey, and the archers were moving slowly to maintain their attacks on the ruins, the soldiers were marching faster. They would get to the bottom and the archers would be behind them. If all went well, then a lot of the weaker undead would be broken and could be trapped while the larger and more powerful undead were injured. This could make them easier to defeat. 

"I can see three more of those undead heavy guardians. They are marching toward the stairs and will most likely be an enemy for you!" Gil's shouts made it to Walker. He was ready to face whatever threat he had to. With the last battle just above he had managed to find a better form of swordsmanship to use. The lighting style with the white lightning slash would be great to carve through the tough armor of the undead heavy guardians marching towards them. 

There was also the added bonus that Current was beginning to sense the many rune pillars with trapped water mana. He was able to easily feel it and take control of it. Then he would be able to use that mana to lead the white sands to attack certain undead. It would be the same as planting traps. A little water mana here and there would cause the undead to be trapped by the very curses they caused. 

"We are pushing ahead." Ventus saw that Ignus was taking advantage of the wings that the royal dragons had in their dragonkin form. She wanted to take to the air as well and knew that she could skip the stairways completely. 

"I will head down too. Midnight, you too." With a leap off the edge, Walker and Midnight took to the air trying to glide down. Walker used the wind ripple skill to step here and there while Midnight utilized her wings. The skeletal armor overlapped her body making it appear that she had another growth spurt without Walker even noticing. 

The winged demi-human soldiers also jumped while the Fel and Rize angels didn't see any reason to stay behind. The Genesis soldiers left behind would join them shortly, they were just going to use their wings to clear the path below in advance. It also showed off the superiority the angels had when it came to versatile battle styles using their natural wings. They didn't want to keep being outdone by the new forces that had shown up to make waves between their two empires. 

It was also easy to see that the Fel and the Rize angels had long passed their differences to the side. It wasn't because they had the desire to make friends and forget what the others believed. It was the very simple understanding that the threat here was not caused by either of them and would cause a lot more damage if left alone. Just like the wyverns would have tried to take more territory and been a plague to both empires, the undead were a plague here. 

No one would have missed the very clear future that the undead would bring both the empires. An entire continent of cursed desert that would dry up the oceans next. The many undead roaming while new undead were created from every single innocent being that dared to breathe. Too many dangers that no one wanted to worry about under any circumstance. 

Su hadn't missed that change in cooperation. She had already started to reinforce it when she heard the Fel and the Rize angels interacting. They had shared their knowledge of light elemental skills with one another. That had also drawn in the dragonkin that Rise had brought with her. That left them all speaking about was to use the light elemental mana against undead enemies and how to get stronger. A very good way of bonding. 

The few comments about the Rize empire and a dragon named Rise had come up. But the moment that it did, the light affinity dragonkin had moved and clamped hands over the angel's mouths. They knew very well that their royal dragon would not take kindly to an insult. They also understood that the foolish angels might relate their royal dragon somehow to the formation of their city. But that would be foolish. It would just cause some trouble. For now though, they did their best to make sure the pronunciation were correct and no new allies were lost to an insult of a dragon many times stronger than them. 

Stepping down from where they were, Walker was not surprised to see that Rise had carried Alice down. It seemed that she was very happy with the way Alice used her skills. The songs seemed to greatly please Rise while also showing her the unique ways that Alice could manipulate light with just the will behind her melodies. It enlightened Rise who felt she had long made her way close to the pique of what she could do with light elemental mana before she tried going in to the light elemental plane where she would be weak by comparison. 

"Alice, Rise. if you two want to start setting up an area of control, we can deal with those undead soldiers." Walker saw a nod from Alice and Rise. the two seemed to want to begin like that already. Especially as the light elemental angels flew down to join them. They had become somewhat of an unofficial force that followed the two by this time. Not to mention the light affinity healers that also joined Alice in everything she did because of their close ties to the cathedral and education around Alice. 

When Current and Mordant landed next to them, they saw the damaged undead heavy guardians meeting up with the mummified soldiers. They knew that they would be able to challenge one each with their physical strength easily. But Walker had moved ahead of them already toward one of the undead heavy guardians. 

"As much as he says he wants peace, that smile on his face says he is more of a battling dragon than he admits." Current's comment before he made his move to charge in as well proved to be exactly what all the dragons had thought when they saw Walker in battle. 

As Walker had never noticed it, the serious expression he usually had was long gone. He had slowly shifted to a brutal smile while he solved the problems of battle. While he used mana in different ways to attack. While he felt himself getting stronger again and again. It was the same feeling that came with any reward after a lot of work. But for Walker, it also came with the knowledge that he was making the world a better place for people. They he would be able to help others with this effort. That's what he was thinking as his sword stabbed forward toward the gap in the undead heavy guardian's armor. Right by its knee.
