Master Of None



The showcase of Midnight's amazing strength and flexibility in battle stunned Walker. He knew he had to remain focused and serious, but before a single monster even neared the party, Midnight had handled them. 

Her leaps were boosted by flaps of her wings. Her tail struck out, covered in different elemental manas to cause a large amount of damage to groups of vampiric skeletons of other odd vampiric monsters. 

Whenever the enslaved vampires would near them, she would use the darkness mana to make the shadows move slightly. They would trip up the enslaved vampires and allow Walker to trap them in earth temporarily. Even more so, Walker would freeze them in place with the ice dragon domain skill which was still active. 

This allowed Midnight to keep using her claws and vicious purifying light dragon breath to deal with vampiric monsters. It was a mind blowing showcase of her skills. The entire party could reserve as much mana, even recover some as they pursued the cause of these attacks. The monstrous vampire in charge of all this. 

Since the other Genesis forces were occupied with their own battles, Walker was only able to receive some reports from the small group of soldiers behind them. If he had been in battle, he would have been lost in the current state of things. 

The party was able to hear that the exhausted forces were being cared for, while the healers also helped any injured to recover. So far, the injured were not great in number. But unfortunately, some of the more vicious vampiric forces had caused some deaths to the Genesis and angel forces. 

This had made Walker's steps falter. In his mind, they should have been strong enough not to perish at all. He already hated that some would be harmed, but die fighting? That was heartbreaking. He was a hero, not just some weak person. He should be able to end this battle all at once and not include anyone else that could die. 

When he heard that Scylla had handled the larger vampiric monsters that caused the death of soldiers, he relaxed slightly knowing that they had been brought to justice. While some would call it vengeance, the vampiric monsters were not the kind of being that could be reasoned with. They were mindless monsters that only killed. Destroying them was a justice to the world itself. 

Barry was the same. He had been pushing his skills and the team of adventurers under him to handle the outlying powerful monsters appearing. So much so that they had become leaders of their own impromptu groups of soldiers. It could only be a good thing that they were melding so well with the rest of the forces. 

What Walker was surprised about, was that leon had managed to take to the waters surrounding the vampire ruins. He had encountered some monsters gathering around the ruins and begun to eliminate them. The merfolk forces were exceptional in their teamwork with the water elves. 

This cut off the corrupted monsters that had gained the unfortunate boost from the corrupted manas that the demon lord released. Along with also limiting any new potential monsters joining the older awakening vampiric monster forces. There was also not an escape by water since the merfolk and water elves had managed to surround the entire ruins with the aquatic demi-human forces joining them. 

Furthermore, the harpies had begun to take to the sky now that the titan vampire bats were all held down to the ground and unable to rejoin the battles. The royal dragons were acting with extreme care in this. 

The harpies were able to help deal with communication much better. This sped up the assistance of each Genesis team to one another. Beyond that, they also showed that the harpy race was not weak at all. They were able to fight the vampiric monsters in the air and even clean up the old vampiric harpies that had never gained the chance to be a true race recognized by the world. It was a purifying battle for their race. 

When a screech louder than before caused the stone of the vampire ruins to crumble slightly echoed out, it wasn't hard to understand why. Midnight had just pierced the heart of a massive vampiric monster guarding the gates of the vampire castle. Walker saw that it was an odd vampire thrall and the all around appraisal was clear on how it had been formed. 

'Hulking vampiric thrall

This monster was created from the dead body of a half giant child. When it was forcefully awakened and used to become an undead under the command of a vampire, and later the monstrous vampire, it was filled with a lot of extra blood. Due to this, it developed the muscles that caused its body to tear slightly. 

Now with massive physical strength, it is considered a great gate guardian. However, its slow movements just make it a moving wall. The lack of intelligence forces it to remain simple in its battle tactics. The only value left in it is the remnant giant blood mixed with another monster's blood. 

This would make it a valuable monster to be consumed by undead that require these ancient blood lines to grow more…'

The all around appraisal showed how midnight was able to deftly move around this opponent. To find the optimal places to attack. To use her agility more than normal to pierce the undead heart of this monster. By doing so, it caused the dark rotting blood of the hulking vampiric thrall to spill out and it to collapse. 

Years of remaining dormant took their toll on this monster. So much that it was certainly half as strong as it had once been. Walker could only imagine what the world would be like if the ancient giants still existed. But he wondered where their blood line had gone. Why he had never seen monsters of a race with giant blood in them. 

Regardless, they stood in front of the castle gates. A single burst of flames melted the metal and burned the wood that made them up. Midnight just retreated after that attack. She was clearly tired from being in constant battle. But she trusted Su to protect her while the party handled the rest of the battle coming up. 

From here, they would be seeing monsters with much more strength than what they had seen before. Beyond that, they would also risk fighting the demon lord outright. Not to mention the ancient monster that had once been a member of the vampire race. 

"I regret to inform you, that you have not been invited to meet with my master. Therefore, I must ask you to leave or to lay your lives down before me to gift my master." The voice that echoed out was that of any proper butler. But instead of being old and weak, it sounded like it was annoyed. Almost angry to lay eyes on the party here to bother him. 

The shadows around the center of the courtyard before the main castle entrance condensed as a tall slim figure appeared. Gray skin and a hairless head were unsettling enough. Not because of those facts, but before they were a telltale sign that something was wrong. 

Even though this being looked like it should be human, it was not. However, it was also certainly a monster. The sunken and pin point eyes mixed with the many sharp teeth caused the entire party to feel chills. This was also due to the encroaching shadows that the monster was controlling. 

"I didn't think they could actually talk, I figured they were all mindless things." Remey mocked it. She felt that it was the best way to throw this monster off its calm and collected attitude. 

"Things? Is that how the cattle called humans understand the great masters nowadays? How times have changed since we were trapped here by those immortal seeking fools. And, since you have decided to leave your blood and bodies as gifts for my master, I will take your lives as quickly as possible." 

The shadows lurched forward as Walker used his own mana to create a light orb. It was large enough to counter the sudden attacks of shadows, but also showcased the nature of their opponent. 

The shadows coming from him weren't just shadows. They were part of him. Part of his body that had fused with the shadows in some form. It made Walker shiver slightly. Not because he was afraid,but because this monster was strong enough to be able to survive melding his physical body with enough darkness mana to be part shadow. 

"Ah, while I could never walk in the daylight properly, the master brought out a storm to allow me to move about the castle. Since you insist on trying to remove it with meager force like this, I will respond in kind." With cruel tones and intentions, the shadows surged again.
