Master Of None

Chapter 406: 406. Tougher Crystal

”Yes! I knew the earth elemental mana would work well. The sword is stronger than the other.” The crystal mage jumped up from his sitting position in joy.

”So anyone that gets an earth element in the sword will have a stronger one. It still says itʼs weak to physical attacks but because it is bonded with the earth elemental mana naturally in the crystal it became tougher.” Walker summed this up making note of the material and the added mana working together.

The magma spell sword was looking at the crystal magic sword like it was an untouchable treasure. ”Well, are you going to take it and use your thrown blade skill to throw a fire slash at the dummy or what?” The fire mage nudged the magma spell sword while laughing slightly.

The other spell swords also laughed a little at the amazed look on the younger magma spell swordsʼ face. The teasing was enough to push him to reach out his hand and take the crystal sword. The mana inside reacted to his influence and it traveled up the blade.

”I might not have a fusion skill or an earth elemental thrown blade, but my fire elemental thrown blade should be powerful.” The magma spell sword raised the crystal magic sword and the blade grew red.

Those watching could feel the heat build as the mana circulated. Many stepped back for safety when they felt this. Most had seen the damage fire magic could do if it went out of control and instinctually retreated. When the blade gained heat to itsʼ peak the magma spell sword slashed downwards.

The thrown blade of fire elemental mana caused a red flame to burst out in a slight crescent shape. This was not as powerful as the water and light elemental spell swordsʼ attack but when it hit the crystal dummy it was still able to cause some of the crystal to sheer off. The residual fire caused a small burst effect making the dummy take additional fire damage.

”That should be a lot like the light elemental attack. It can harm or affect the other targets around the one hit with the skill.” Walker thought this was also good to know since it could be used to distract other opponents while going in for a finishing blow.

”It feels like I have used this sword my whole life. I canʼt believe how natural it feels in my hands.” The magma spell sword was practicing his stance and slashed a few more times. The other spell swords looked on in envy.

”I would say it is a success. The real question I have is what would happen if we added more elements?” Walker was already thinking of the next challenge.

”You want to add three elements?” The crystal mage was afraid that this would come up. ”That would be very dangerous to make. We would need three mages to keep things balanced as we lock things in place. The most likely result is an explosion and injury.”

”I was actually wondering if we could make one with all the elements in balance.” Alma who had been standing idly and watching finally came forward to speak once she heard Walker starting to theorize.

”I would very much like to see that. We do have our elemental spell sword in the city resting after a minor injury. I believe she would be honored to test such a sword.” Alma was looking at all the mages who appeared worried about this idea.

”You mean my sister could get one with every element in it so she wouldnʼt need to constantly switch swords in battle?” The magma spell sword was beside himself with the idea.

The crystal mage held his head in his hands realizing that he had no control over where this conversation was going. ”If we even want to try this I need the higher quality crystals we make the beast chains from. If I donʼt have those there wonʼt be any point.”

”Beast chains?” Walker had never heard of such an item and was very curious.

”They are an item made by crystal mages and crystal craftsman. They have the ability to absorb the mana produced by powerful monsters we wish to capture and tame. They are similar to the chain that the prisoners wear. But are made from a crystal we mine at the roots of our great tree.” Alma looked to the ground thinking of the depth of her city.

”So they can directly absorb strong mana. So in theory they would be tough enough to withstand the pressure of every elemental mana being forced to balance inside of it. Will we be able to shape it?” Walker worried that it would be too string to shape properly.

”Shaping isnʼt the problem. Getting permission to use it for an experiment is. We are only able to harvest a certain amount every year.

T grows at a very slow rate and we need to wait for it to reach a certain size before we take it from the earth around the tree roots.” With the crystal mage confirming that it could be used to craft all Walker was left with was the ability to get some from their experiments.

”Alma, do you think you can work your magic to get us some?ʼ Walker tried to smile as sweetly as possible to get her to agree. The only problem was that Alma was wearing a perfect poker face.

”If I do this I would like you to make me something too. I want some crystal arrows with hollow insides.” Walker almost asked what for but he had a sneaking suspicion that Alma wasnʼt thinking of using them herself.

”Then itʼs a deal. I will work on some hollow crystal arrows while you get us the proper crystals.” Walker immediately got to work while Alma beckoned for one of the nearby enforcers.
