Master Of None

Chapter 995: 995. Fleursʼ Anger

”Walker, whatʼs going on?” Remey had a worried shake in her voice as she saw Fleur was making a move toward the rotting treants.

”Fleur is angry. I think itʼs because they are causing the poison of the swamps to spread. They are rotting treants. I would guess that they spread rot until they are defeated or turn in to the fertilizer the appraisal mentions.” This hit the nail on the head. Fleur looked Walker dead in the eye and pointed at the treants.

”Rot is poison, right?” Alice spoke up and made Fleur nod energetically. She took a deep breath and let a solemn tone out of her mouth. It was loud and triggered the rotting treants to look toward them.

”Why did you do that!?” Gil notched one of his water elemental arrows with the goal of freezing the treants in place for them to run. The song that Alice had started was one that the party did not recognize but had an uplifting tone. It started low and sad but rose to a pure and high pitch.

”Wait, this is the purifying song that Alice sings when people come in sick from alcohol or other poison and venoms.” Su recognized it and put herself between Alice and the rotting treants that had slowly started to hobble toward them. Midnight dashed forward and breathed out a distracting breath of bright orange flames.

The dances in the ice crystals and made the treants hesitate before they pushed forward mindlessly.

One treant raised its hand which was covered in purple and red vines. It whipped them forward at the party but didnʼt even get near where they stood. Instead, a wall of earth rose from the ground and blocked them. It quickly crumbled away due to the heavy water content within it but it had done its job.

”I will block the attacks. If Alice is going to purify them then maybe we will win this fight.” Fleur was pulling natural mana toward her while floating above Alice. The light elemental mana appeared to be gathering more as well and the area around them seemed to change. The little puddles of water that had been cloudy cleared and the fungus mixed with the moss crumbled away.

The part that made Walker shudder, however, was that Fleur was taking away the light elemental mana that Alice was gathering. The song which would have made some effect on the light elemental mana to travel from Alice and purify things was gathering with Fleur. Before he could focus even more the treant struck out again and Walker raised another earth wall in haste.

It blocked the treant again but was smashed in to nothing by the second treants club like hand.

”You said Ice slows them down! Letʼs see how you like my light and water knuckle combo!” Remey used her speed and dashed forward delivering a vicious five hit combo of jabs to the main body of the treant. The result was a cracking sound and a splintering of icy rotting wood.

The light elemental mana that stuck to her light affinity knuckle made the splinters seemingly dissolve while the water knuckles caused the ice to freeze and be shattered by Remeyʼs other jabs.

Just as the third treant struck out, Remey dodged backward and was covered by another flame breath from Midnight. This one made complete contact with the third treant and caused the smaller vines to burn away. There was no further damage but it was enough to make all three rotting treants pause before anger overtook their feeble minds.

Walker wanted to attack and willed the eternal orb to change in to a spear form. He knew he would be able to channel elemental mana through it and use the spear skills he had to attack with speed and distance. But at the moment the eternal orb finished changing in to a spear he felt a connection.

Fleur willed the natural mana in the light elemental mana toward the spear that Walker made before she fused with the eternal orb spear form.

There was a shining if light and Walker felt unseen hands guiding him. He could tell that the purifying power of Aliceʼs light elemental song was channeled through the eternal orb spear form. There was the control that Fleur had used over it to move through it and to the tip of the spear.

His legs moved on his own and Walker used the spear to jab forward in three insanely fast stabs. The light elemental mana reacted with the rotting bodies of the treants and there was a burst of light. The pulse of mana that resonated around them had no way of harming anything but for the rotting and poisonous swamp lands.

Before they could gain their sight back they heard the sound of falling wood in to water. As their vision returned all of them were able to see the purified broken bodies of the treants floating in a crystal clear pool of water. The snow had even been purified in to perfectly white snow. The moss was a lushes gree where it had been darker and covered in multiple forms of fungus.

This scene covered a large area around where Walker had just attacked.

Alice stopped her singing and braced herself against Su who had moved right to her side. She smiled while looking at the spear where a tired looking Fleur sat. ”You really had to do something so reckless just because they were rotting away from of the swamp lands?” Fleur didnʼt respond but looked at Walker as if she had just accomplished a great deed worth more than all the gold in the world.

”So, we are never doing that again. Because the arrows I fired barely slowed them down.” Gil had managed to hit two of them in the feet with water elemental arrows and watched as the rotting treants easily broke the ice that formed where his arrows landed.

”I canʼt say it wonʼt happen again but for now, we should camp here a little while and drink some mana potions.” Walker handed one to Alice before he willed the eternal orb back in to its previous form.
