Master Of None

2073 2073. One Root Down

"Barry and Remey are already fighting where they can. Remey is throwing potions and Barry is helping Ventus with the corrupted undead that fly too close. Who knew he was strong enough to even push back enemies with even the force of his axes through the air?" Gil was amazed. Due to his sharp eyes, he had spotted many of the battles beginning above them. Especially the dragons who were doing their best to deal with the dangers that were flocking toward them. It was a major investment in the longevity of this battle so that the ground forces could handle their own fight. The sheer number of flying corrupted undead that were in the air was much more than what anyone had imagined. Ignus was being forced to breath out massive gusts of flame enhanced by Ventus's breath of wind. This was destroying flocks of corrupted undead birds which were able to throw themselves at the dragons over and over. If they were to come to the ground and attack, they would cause a severe damage to the ground forces. Simply because they would be attacking and causing constant small injuries. Not to mention the massive wear and tear on their armors. It would be like cutting the army's strength in half. The other benefits of the dragons came whenever Terron and Rise would attack. The light that Rise sent around her was overall weakening the corrupted undead. She was not necessarily attacking, but using her light mana as a purification. This purification caused the darkness manas that were naturally resting within every single undead to weaken. To become less stable. It made the corrupted manas act more chaotically which lessened the control that the demon lord would have over their auctions. Slowing them down. Terron was also in the air. But he had massive boulders flying around him due to him controlling the earth mana with extreme care. Walker had never seen Terron fight, but now, he wished he had before. Using the earth as a moving and changing weapon that could fly with him was incredibly brilliant. This form of fighting allowed Terron to enjoy the natural strength he had when flying while also causing great damage to enemies at all angles. One boulder had taken out three corrupted undead angels before they had even attempted to fight back. Beyond this, the real strength came when he divided these boulders in to small bullets of earth. They would defeat entire swarms of undead corrupted monsters before they could properly return to peak strength. There was also the difference between the way that they fought and the way that Currents' and Mordants' fight. While Mordant hid in the shadows dragging in corrupted undead monsters, Current was right in the waters bringing the water to the enemies in unique ways. The whips of water that would reach from the ocean were not just attacking the flying enemies. Current was using these whips of water to drag in the corrupted undead that could not fly or swim in to the water. There, he could crush them with pressure or throw them deep in to the ocean. Every single opponent he defeated made way for the Genesis forces on the water or getting to the beach to gain ground more easily. It was an incredible sight to see since the waters even flowed in to ice from time to time to create a defensive barrier for others. It would be too simple to say that current was just dividing his attention to support everything. Mordant's methods were a little more specific. He targeted the strongest opponents. He was using the shadows that he could hide in to drag in the more powerful corrupted undead monsters. Some that were using elemental attacks on the Genesis forces or the areas on the island itself. Their attacks would harm the weaker soldier, if not just killing them outright. Yet, Mordant was dragging them in to the shadows and crushing them with incredibly powerful decaying darkness that was stronger than what the corrupted undead had within their own bodies. It was forcing them to be in a state of constant stalling. They had the ability because of the magic used to bring them back to rebuild their bodies. That was what they did when they were harmed. However, they were completely unable to beat the strength that Mordant had with darkness decaying magics. Therefore, when their bodies started to reform, they would break down again in a cycle that stopped their movements. It left Mordant as the warden to a shadowy prison of the most powerful corrupted undead he could capture. When the Genesis force reached the sands, things became even more chaotic. The monsters changed in to corrupted undead had already fallen on to the island. They were rampaging as well. It seemed that the demon lord had allowed them to do so to cause chaos while he worked on his true goal. There was an immense amount of mana flowing from the corrupted floating city to make this all happen as well. The mana that Walker knew well was coming from something unnatural. It shouldn't be yet, it was. So, he just had to trust that Remeya and Barry would be able to handle this issue for them. When Walker stepped through the air, he found that midnight was suddenly beside him. Her deep breath before released a roar was to start the battle of the ground. But her roar also shook the wind mana all around her. It made a wave of pressure descend on the ground enough to make some of the weakest corrupted undead struggle. Walker had not seen her use her roar with a specific mana in mind. This was surely something she had learned from Ventus when he had not been watching. A skill that used both her mana and the wind mana to exert force. A powerful skill that was also bolstering the mood of the Genesis forces that charged forward to begin attacking. Each squad taking down multiple corrupted undead as some of the echidna warriors joined in. their natural mana causing the corrupted undead to lose their abilities to repair the bodies instantly. This was the key here. They could still take down the enemies if they used natural mana properly. Walker had learned and done something similar. But he had been weaker at the time and it was harder to stave off the corrupted mana with that method. For the echidna though, it was easier. They had the knowledge and deep connection to use less corrupted mana to better defeat these opponents. Especially since the genesis forces were cutting them down, immensely weakening the enemies. Spotting that Su had also made headway in to the large beach, Walker began channeling the wind mana that Midnight had also used. He knew that he could use this to target multiple undead further in to the beach with wind blades. Sending them forward with more focus, the wind blades aimed at their limbs. Cutting the rotting corrupted bodies and exposing them to the attacks of the ground forces. This use of strength was not to just defeat them, but for the squads to carve out a base for the healers making landfall now. It was a process of creating a decent place where they could put down roots. Not the end of a war just yet. This was just a start. "Walker, three bats heading your way!" Gil's warning made Walker look up to see three larger corrupted undead vampire bats heading toward him. Drop those golden tickets!
