Master Of None

Chapter 488: 488. Poor Supporters

Walker let a few glances fall on the enforcers who were whispering and scribbling down plenty of notes already. He wondered just how many they would write when he explained the slash zone skill. But since Scylla was staring him down he knew he could not hold the information forever.

”The skill slash zone is interesting. The system said it was adjusted for my body so I think it is made for a different being than us. But other than that it costs a decent amount of mana for a limited time effect. Paired with my senses I can feel anything enter a certain area around me and react to slash at it not matter what.”

”That explains the weird twists and bends added in to your movements. I was wondering how you managed to slash at the throwing needles from behind so easily.” Scylla had witnessed multiple attacks from many angles and Walker had slashed or dodged them all in odd ways.

”This is amazing.” One of the enforcers writing notes nearly shouted after another whispered to him. ”I apologize sir hero. We became too excited.” The quick apology was to show that they were still somewhat in control of their emotions.

”Itʼs fine. I am still shocked as well. I never heard of a skill like this and did not expect I would get it to say the least. Please record what you need so you can properly archive it. It might come in handy one day.” The enforcers were filled with renewed vigor after hearing this.

They believed that if they were supported by the hero then their efforts would mean more to their kingdom and even the world.

Scylla looked like she was please with these explanations. Walker had the hope that no one would be asking about the third. Mostly because she knew that bringing up a skill that came from a demon system let alone one learned by a specific title holder would cause many waves. However, as he thought this all eyes returned to him with an expectant look in them.

”You all would like to know about the skill that caused the large disturbance in the natural mana? Am I right?” Walker knew it would happen as soon as he had finished his last thought, but he still could have a little hope that they would leave him be.

”I think you are trying to hold back. Please donʼt tell me it is one of those brutal skills that costly some of your lifespan or a decline in stat points after use.” Scylla was imagining the worst case scenario and that Walker was now suffering from such a case.

”No no, it isnʼt one of those. I just know that I should keep this skill under my belt for when we all have the kingdom meetings. It is related to another race and I believe it will be somewhat sensitive information. To be honest I would prefer not to tell anyone. I worry about the ramifications.” Walker looked at Scylla with a steely gaze.

He tried to convey his desire to remain silent for now which she nodded and accepted.

”If that is what you desire sir hero. But please remember that any enforcer will record any skill for the archive at any time. The enforcers knew they needed to accept his desires but also wanted to make sure that if he changed his mind they would listen. It was almost comedic how knowledge hungry they were to study the systems of the world.

”In that case, I should see how my little leviathan brothers and sisters are doing against the supporters. I have been teaching them to have courage in the face of a terrifying enemy and it seems to be making them much tougher.” Scylla let out a soft but evil sounding giggle. This made the enforcer straighten up since they had seen the training tactic themselves.

”I might as well get over there and watch. Maybe I can learn something from watching.” Walker knew that he was not in the best shape and his body was way too sore to actually train more without causing the opposite effect, However, he still wanted to let his mind grow and adapt to new sights and skills. It was one way to expand his strength while not training his body.

”I would gladly welcome you to do so. It will also help our enforcer friends to watch over you in case you require additional care by having you stay in one place.” Scylla started to step on the air toward a group of far away enforcer trainees. Walker could only make out their movements seemingly avoiding those of a levitating snake.

When the enforcers assisted him in getting closer, Walker finally saw the small leviathans in their full horror. The long eel like shape matched with the vicious needle like teeth was the face of nightmares.

As he stopped and stared at the attacks Scylla jumped in with a very slow but concentrated slash of her fan. It was always toward a group of supporters. They would group up while using skills and start to lose focus on the battle itself. Therefore, Scylla would teach them not to in the slow and easy to predict move.

The secondary bonus was that the supporters or mostly healers would need to move the injured at a secondʼs notice. The benefit of this would be immense in a real battle. There would be less loss on either the supporters or the injured. This would also make an armyʼs might greater over time but that was not what Walker cared about when watching this.

He could only think about how many more people would avoid pain and death.

The most impressive thing Walker saw as this training went on was the development of paired supporters. Those that could buff and heal would pair with debuff supporters to maintain a balance in their own protection. It was an ideal strategy.
