Master Of None

Chapter 1333: 1333. More dragon Than I Thought

”You want to go to Ingusʼs village without any prior invitation? He will fight you to the death.” Mordant spoke bluntly. He had been in the mage tower for the entire day and half the night. By the time he had returned to the mansion with a seemingly exhausted darkness elemental spirit, Walker was the last one awake.

Gil was asleep on the couch next to him by the fire where Midnight is curled up resting. She had trained with Su all day and had fallen asleep quickly.

”He hasnʼt come here and was one of the more stubborn of our fellow royals. So, while I let Gil and Alma meet with the flame elves, I will meet with him.” The look that Mordant had on his face seemed to ask Walker why he had such a death wish.

”That hot headed brute will light you on fire the moment you set foot within range of his flames. That is certain. Can you resist him or at least get his attention without starting a fight?” This seemed to be answered as well. Walker slowly moved behind Midnight and poked her head. She fluttered her eyes and moved to look at him.

”Donʼt give me that look. Just because you are curled up in your dragon from pretending to sleep doesnʼt mean I buy your act. You arenʼt that sneaky. You usually snore a little when you sleep.” The response from Midnight was a disdainful huff. Walker was sure that she was refuting that she snored at all. However, Mordant had a dazed look on his face.

”My champion snores too…”

”Just come outside and watch. Just stay back a little.” Walker moved out the back door with a wide awake Midnight. She already knew what Walker intended and stood in the backyard training field. ”Luckily none of the plants back here will be affected and we are far enough from the pond to cause any damage to the plants there.”

The pair gathered the mana in their bodies while Walker pulled at the water elemental mana specifically. Much faster than before, he and Midnight both gathered a great amount of it. When Walker moved to open his arms and slam them down with the eternal orb staff in his hands, Midnight released a harsh breath of frost.

The ice dragonʼs domain expanded, freezing everything within the training field. Mordant had still been too close and quickly jumped in to the air before his feet froze to the ground. ”You have a domain skill! Of a dragon no less. Itʼs not pure but how can this be possible? You arenʼt old enough for that.

And you arenʼt even a proper dragon!” The stunned shouts woke Gil up, who rushed outside.

”So…why did you freeze the training area?” His face showed that he was more confused than worried now.

”Just showing how we will get to the dragon village, shock Ignus in to silence, and then have a proper conversation about bringing him to Genesis. Add in the fact that Mordant beat him here he will want to come out of jealousy and spite.

Plus, if I play to his pride and come to him first he will feel more obligated.” The pride that Walker held while standing in the intense ice cold was enough to make Mordant wonder if this boy was truly human. Not even dragons would throw around prideful plans like this.

”I retract my statement earlier. You are more of a dragon than I knew. Almost like the keeper, you gather information and use it against others along with your power.” Mordant hesitated and then spoke. He seemed to have much more respect for Walker now. ”That is why we never win when we fight the keeper. He is wiser and tricky.

He may be weaker in his old age but is able to play everyone as if they are puppets.”

The strategy seemed wise. Walker was trying to be better at planning and observing. Therefore, he felt that adopting the strategy more would work. ”Then itʼs settled. I will head there with Gil and Alma in a few weeks.”

”More like a week. Thatʼs when Alma wanted to have everything planned to leave. She wants it done with before the alchemy guild starts the potion making competitions. Once those start, many elves will be participating and need the future queen to witness their achievements.

Itʼs not a requirement but a major encouragement for them to keep improving.” Gil also knew that Trish expected Alma in attendance. It was a guild formed by one of the highest esteemed elves in the forest elf city. If Alma was not there it could come off as insulting.

”In any means, that should allow me time in closed meditation on the elemental floors. I believe that will be acceptable once youʼve met my dragonkin, champion, and his guardian. A fair trade for leaving your guest alone.” Mordant decided to play his own sneaky game. He wanted to continue to use the mage tower without any repercussions.

On top of that, he could have everything figured out to work while he continued to grow stronger. By the tie Ignus actually got to Genesis, Mordant was sure he would have a major advantage.

”I have nothing against you doing so. I would have offered that already, but you have cornered me. Youʼll have to remain in Genesis longer to understand and learn about the darkness elemental runes as well. I would hate for you to lose progress without the mage towerʼs strength.” This was a slick way to make Mordant want to help Genesis pursue the understanding of ancient runes.

”If you desire my village to assist you then you need only to ask. We will send those that know here as well to stay. I can arrange for their absence since my village had the least rogue dragons to deal with.” The deal was struck and Walker seemed to have a better understanding of Mordant.
