Master Of None

Chapter 1360: 1360. Arrows And Lava

”It was a little weird that Remey was asking so much about the flame elves and their alchemy history the other day, right?” Gil still felt off about it. Like he had been used for information when Remey had suddenly decided not to change whatever her plans were to join he and Alma. He had thought she would decide to come with them after learning such things.

”She was looking in to how they used alchemy fire. Didnʼt you realize?” Alma knew that Gil was smarter than that. He had a major affinity for archery and could figure out the complications of making elemental arrows without training. It was a genius level archery skill. But he still missed important things around him.

”Well…I donʼt have much to do with fire and stuff. I know the records your city had made the flame elves out to be fire elemental archers with specified fire mages. But the flames of different levels didnʼt make much sense.” For those without in depth understanding of fire, they would miss out on why the flame elves were so unique.

”The flame elves have solely focused on fire. Unlike the mages from my home who separated them and tried to balance them with each other in a team. The flame elves discovered the levels of fire. They know dragon fire reigns near or at the top, but adding their secondary weak affinities they have managed to alter flames.

Alchemy fire is one such situation.” The history that Alma had memorized was radically larger than most people could even dream of.

”The flame elves should be able to master blue flames and purple flames as well. I canʼt say I fully grasp the differences but the ghostly blue flames have been said to be slow but extremely hot. Their enforcers are more mages than archers.” This was striking to Gil since he was sure that the flame elves would have archery enforcers too.

”So it might not be just alchemy that Remey has in mind. She could be trying to do more with her fighting too.” The pieces clicked together in Gilʼs mind. He was sure that Remey would be totally alchemy focused.

”Thatʼs exactly right. You said that she can use the alchemy fire with her punches now. You showed her the books that had the flame elves using fire as armor. So why wouldnʼt she want to learn? We might even get to meet a flame knight while there. They are pretty rare though.” Alma wanted to meet all the kinds of system users from the flame elves.

The records that the first elves had were fairly lacking compared to the water elves.

”It will still be a little time for us to make it there. But for now, let me test out a few things.” Gil had not been sure what his arrows would do within the lava filled area. The pathways were clearly marked since every adventurer or merchant traveling took it upon themselves to mark out safe trails. It was one important factor for the area.

Gil had his water elemental arrows and knew that they might not work the same way in this environment. The ice that would form was dependent on the water in the area he fired them in. ”Just make sure you donʼt anger any monsters around here. They might not like someone firing off arrows like crazy.” Alma knew that the four enforcers she had brought were hiding away in the surroundings.

They Needed to hear her warning clearly.

”Everything should be fine. I touched base with the mages to ask about elemental reactions. I have also seen Walker training. He is able to mix elemental mana but the reactions that happen while he does it can teach you a lot.” Just watching high natural mana be formed was very telling when it came to how the elemental manas mixed.

”Maybe I will pay attention next time I am invited to train at your mansion.” Su had invited Alma to train before but she had been too busy. Now she was tempted to ask Su to train just to see what Walker was capable of and if she could grasp some understanding of elemental mana she may have missed.

”This is a water elemental arrow but it forms a spike of ice. I have no idea what it will do here..” The water elemental wither spike arrow was pulled back before Alma could offer her ideas of what might happen. The release of the arrow sent it flying fairy nearby. But it still landed next to a lava pool.

Instead of water gathering and creating a spike, the arrow seemed to just burn up. ”So itʼs a lost-” The lava in the pool suddenly cooled and hardened before slowly melting again. ”So I created a temporary stepping stone. Thatʼs great.” This was unexpected but very useful. Gil could use this to cross dangerous areas.

”Very good. Water is not useless but you lost an arrow so be wary of your limits.” The enforcers also witnessed this encounter and knew that Alma was speaking to them. If they used their arrows they would be risking losing them. They could not recover and battle consistently.

”Even the fire arrows might do that. But what about the damage they cause?” Gil already drew and released the fire elemental wither spike arrow while speaking. It landed further away since Gil feared the reaction.

The fear was warranted. The arrow landed and caused a very large burst of flames before burning the arrow to ashes. ”Exactly as I thought. Faster burst of fire, less chance of recovery, but perfect for stunning an enemy. Even if the enemy is a fire affinity monster!” These experiments were making Gil feel like he had discovered archery all over again. It was all too exciting.
