Master Of None

Chapter 1771: 1771. Muddled Thoughts And Rest

While Walker had shocked all of the royal dragons with the potentials of ancient legacies left behind for each of them to search out, the others had calmed themselves down quite a bit. Midnight was one that had remained the most observant of everything.

Since Midnight had not been able to battle, or even stand up in front of the wyvern queen to do anything, she was in a very poor mood. However, she felt that she had seen a great deal of things. The wyverns who had come from dragon blood many generations ago. The things left behind by ancient dragons.

Now there was even the fact that Terron was taking a different role than any dragon ever as a guide to the wyvern race.

All of these things were bouncing around within her mind making her still and trapped in thought. This wasnʼt missed by Walker in the least. The massive battle that they all thought they would have had been reduced to a rushed attack and healing session to save someone they had originally come to fight.

”We need to do a lot more work now. The demons are definitely causing trouble here already. Do you want to look around the cave? The ruins might have something for you to learn from. There had to be hatchlings here many years ago.” the glint on Midnightʼs eyes was all that he needed to see.

Whether Walker was tired or not didnʼt matter. He could tough it out to help Midnight find her own path. She was unique as well. Since she had affinity to all elemental manas, then she would be able to learn from every single ruin that the royal dragons found. Walker would have to learn as well, the real question was, what would he be able to learn and what Would Midnight be able to learn?

”I doubt you could learn everything from what the earth dominator dragon left behind. They are purely earth related, but the young earth dragons had to be somewhere within these ruins. That means there isnʼt a way to learn from them the way they would be taught as young dragons. The perfect level for you, right?” Midnight nudge on his side was strong enough that it almost knocked Walker down.

”Alright, alright. I will start looking.”

Gil saw Walker and Midnight leaving, he was sure that they would all be in the wyvernʼs home for some time. Especially since the royal dragons were all huddled around Terron who was immersed in learning. They were acting as one rather than apart. The change was drastic compared to the dragons he had seen argue. All because of Genesis and Walkerʼs influence.

”Su, youʼre still awake, right?” Gil looked at Su who was sitting and dozing where she sat. He was sure that she would need some solid rest since she had been tempting the wyverns to chase her more than the others. Drawing their ire had been rough and caused her a lot of attacks. The majority of which missed since the life mages had buffered her agility.

Yet they had still sent stones at her causing scratches and cuts before she had been healed by Aliceʼs residual singing.

”What do you need? I canʼt do much but I can help.” Su thought that Gil was going to start pushing to do more right then and there. She had the feeling that he wanted to keep training after seeing how weak they were against such massive adult wyverns.

”I want to see where this all goes. The wyverns arenʼt that bad. They were misguided and needed more than just a helping hands. Itʼs like the elves and the goblins. They were all divided and fighting alone for the most part. Now they are together and have a chance.” Gil could see the similarities.

This made Su wonder just what he was thinking here.

”I want to make sure that they are part of everything. Walker keeps throwing himself alone at whatever is in front of him. Iʼm pretty much sitting here doing nothing. Making arrows without getting stronger myself. I havenʼt even finished the high elf dagger arts that I am putting back together.” This was what Su had somewhat expected.

”If you want to stand for the elves, you want to do more and make more progress.” Su could understand. She had been looking in to herself and the changes she was going through. The bonds with Midnight were changing her quickly. She was strong because of it along with the fact that she was gaining strength without advancing in levels. But that was just passive.

It was using her bonds to grow instead of her own efforts.

”Yes. I want to make sure I can do more. So I want to learn a mastery skill. Using my bow and using the high elf dagger arts. I read about one that arcane marksmen can use and itʼs not the one I want. Instead, I want one that only the high elf arcane master archers should be able to use.” Gilʼs ambitions were not small.

”I will help you. But I want to master more elemental manas. I need to increase my defenses. We are already higher levels than just about anyone our age of five to ten years older. But what if I could actually use all that strength and have an absolute defense? None of you would ever get hurt.” Su shared her own current ambitions with Gil.

The two of them rarely pushed one another in training because of their recent business. Now they had their goals to pursue so they wouldnʼt be left behind.

”You heard them, right?” Remey was half awake next to Onyx who had been watching over Alice.

”I did. They want to stay ahead of us and keep up with Walker and sister. Once Alice has woken up I will begin preparing to get stronger. I need to get to a level that is safe enough to protect Aurora and the other abyssal and heavenly serpents.” Onyxʼs current goal would not be changing. He too had barely been able to bind and hold a single wyvern for a minute during the battle.

He had been easily beaten by strength.

”I couldnʼt punch through their scales. The wyverns were tough. How can I fight some lord slime alone too? I didnʼt even have potions ready to use against it. I had to ask Ignus to help me at the moment. I was a risk.

Not an attacker or protector or anything. A risk to everyone around me.” Remey had taken it harder. Her alchemy knowledge had increased by leaps and bounds every day. But her battle and elemental strategy was suffering.

”Then we agree. We will also work harder to get stronger without relying on the others. We will not be a party then. Until we can stand alone.” Remey and Onyx didnʼt really say they were leaving, but their goals to stand alone had been clear between them. Onyx would stand alone as the most powerful abyssal serpent. Remey as the best alchemical brawler there ever would be.

Her heated words had to be backed up instead of used as loud sounds.

”Mountains. Ravines, earthquakes, there are even ways to work with a flame dominator dragon to create a volcano. This knowledge is something left behind by the most powerful-”

”Youʼve said that ten times now. I need to know if it tells you where this flame dominator dragon was. How can they be known as a flame dominator? Huh? I am the most powerful fire dragon right now.” Ignus was stubborn and clearly trying to get more from Terron who was barely able to keep his thoughts straight.

”All the knowledge of where other ruins could be is important. I have no knowledge of this continent that would tell us the locations.” Ventus was the most focused on what they needed to do to find more ruins. More places that the things they seek might be hidden.

”I would guess that the darkness dominator dragon would be in the undead area of the Fel empire desert. Darkness and undead are closely related. That also goes for the light dominator dragon. Rise, you would have to be there to oppose the darkness, right? Two halves of a whole darkness and light. A desert that gets the most light, right?” Mordant looked at Rise and saw that she was grudgingly agreeing.

”Then that leaves me. Maybe there is a hidden lake or something. A place where water is the top priority. There are floating cities, maybe there is a dragon made one for Ventus.” Current was just amazed by everything and mixed in some comedy. He was breaking his normal character just out of the fact that he was incredibly happy to discover ancient dragon history.

Naturally, this brought the conversation even deeper with the royal dragons. These conversations, rest, and inner thoughts went on for hours.
