Master Of None

Chapter 1190: 1190. Midnightʼs Claws

Midnight knew that she had done her job well while she watched the rogue dragon miss her by inches. This training she had been doing to fly showed its prowess now in battle making her feel that she was finally a true dragon. Who cared if she could not fly consistently. She could use her wings to maneuver above and down on her enemy without trouble.

The moment that she breathed out another breath of flame on to the back of the rogue dragon made it howl in pain while still moving forward at intense speeds. The problem with the power that it had was that it had forsaken all magical skills it could have had. This stopped it from controlling the earth or anything that could have slowed it when its body could not do so.

”Now!” Walker and Su shouted in unison while the earth elemental spirit revealed itself above the earth dwelling shield. A complicated mix of mana and aura of power spread between them. Not only could Su and Walker feel their hearts beating together, but they could feel the warmth from the high earth spirit. They had not realized how proud it was to be the stepping stones for those around it.

The high earth spirit was by far the least talkative of all the spirits that Walker had encountered. Su had also managed to speak with it a little due to her spirit mark with it. But they mostly communicated with their emotions and the feelings of mana. Now that they could get a clearer image, they knew that it had grown more than just attached to their party, and their family.

It saw itself as one of them that could hold them up and ensure that the path they walked was stable. In this moment, they were completely one.

Earth beneath their feet shook and condensed until a large spear of solid stone sprouted from the ground. It was slow but that did not matter. The rogue dragon was moving too fast and had no reason within its mind. The force behind it propelled it head first on to the earth spear without even a flinch away.

Su and Walker looked in front of them expecting the rogue dragon to fall. However, its rage was not so small enough to be taken down. It lost its mind and brain to the earth spear, but its eyes still glowed red with fury, the grudge that it had against all dragons and dragonkin for kicking it out of the nest when it hatched pulled it beyond what should have been normal.

Large jagged claws reached out toward Walker who could only attempt to create another magic skill. He had used too much mana at once in tandem with Su and the earth spirit though, his body wasnʼt as fast as it had been a second ago. This left him open to an attack that would have done significant damage to him. Would have done.

Midnight fell from the sky above the rogue dragon and breathed fire in to her claws. A golden flame remained on her sharp curved claws while she used them to shred in to the muscles of the rogue dragonsʼ back. She refused to allow any harm to come to her family. She refused to just watch.

She felt the pieces come in to place while she had been training and implemented a skill she had only been shown in books. The flame bound claws of a dragon were known to be a skill only those that trained themselves to the limit could obtain. Midnight had done this many times over in the forge while she used her fire to create items with the wandering blacksmith.

She had just never registered that she could do this.

”Midnight! You used golden flame claws!” Walker knew at a glance that Midnight had used this skill. It was written in the book he had shown her months ago so that she could get more ideas on how to train. He never thought he would witness it and felt his heart lighten in the fact that she had just used it to protect him and Su.

After their attack, the earth spirit showed some fatigue and melted itself in to the spirit mark that Su carried. It would rest after using its full power at once with the others. ”You did well. Rest as much as you need partner.” Su whispered to it with her heart open. She was proud that it showed how it truly felt in that moment and could only hope that it knew the value she had for it as well.

”This trogue dragon nearly hunted us. But it didnʼt know the danger it would face against us.” Walker stood next to the still growling Midnight. They looked at the many scars on the rogue dragon and knew that it had blindly thrown itself at many enemies. ”This has to be why the dragons that leave villages are hated and eliminated. They could become vicious monsters like this.

It didnʼt even care that it had been pierced through its head.”

The three looked at the body in horror. For something to have so much rage was incredible. The pride a dragon had was part of their existence. To remove that meant to create an undying rage that was nearly impossible to quell. Midnight silently pledged to never allow herself to fall to this. She would continue to work and rise beyond.

”We will show them what they failed to clean up. We need to change this aspect of dragon society. Imagine if this is just one of many left to fall. How can we let that happen to young hatchlings over and over?” The words that Su said were exactly what Walker and Midnight felt as well. The young hatchlings should not have such a fate before they even have a chance to grow.
