Master Of None

Chapter 2066: 2066. Eyes Opening Again

Feeling the sudden change, like their eyes were opened, Midnight and Onyx become very focused. They could sense that Walker was providing them a purer mana from himself. Manas that were the very foundations of their bands with him.

While this was the case, they did not rush towards him. They could tell that he was slumbering for the time being. But that was fine. They could use this. Their shared binds had always been emotional and deep. It allowed them to share how they felt and even a little of their own manas with one another.

This had shaped their growth very well through the time they had all been together. It was also why they had been able to push one another to get stronger through training. The bonds always gave them a sense of unity. That they always had a pillar to hold them up even when they were the weaknesses.

But right now, they could tell that they were better able to comprehend some of the mana that they were already used to holding on to. They could also understand more of the manas that had been hard to grasp.

While this did not help Onyx much because he focused on the darkness and light manas that he had affinities for, he could use it. he could sense the other manas much more clearly now. Regardless of using them, he could use this as a chance to be able to understand his opponents.

This was a great chance for him to be able to understand how attacks were coming at him. How he might be ambushed. How he could fight back and defend from attacks. All of this was valuable to his battle style. It would even change how he fought overall. He could be much stronger now.

Midnight was a little more advanced in her knowledge. She was a true dragon champion. She had various affinities the very same way that Walker did. But she had not been able to meditate and focus on them in the same ways that Walker did. Simply because she was a dragon and not a mage.

Therefore, she could take this chance to focus the understandings that her eyes were open to and grow. Walker had connected them much more deeply by enhancing the binds and sharing more with her. Now, she would use that.

The manas that she had affinities to felt closer to her. Felt more deeply connected to who she was as a dragon and what she was capable of doing. Adding this to what she had sensed from of the other royal dragons while she had been around them, Midnight could use that to grow more.

Being able to follow the royal dragons in a way, to mimic the ways that they used their skills, was a great chance. With what she was feeling from Walkerʼs bond with her, she could both copy the royal dragons, and understand how they used their skills.

The different elemental dragon breath attacks could rapidly improve. Beyond that, the claw attacks that she used elemental manas to strengthen, would also improve. But that was only a small portion of things.

Midnight could strengthen her entire body with these manas. She would be able to do so by focusing on the properties of the manas and how they were reacting within her body. Because of the bond she had with Walker, she felt that this was the right way to use the manas within her naturally. That she just had missed the facts that she could do this.

The other dragons used their affinities to do this. Current would use the water manas within him to better control the water manas outside his body. This being the case, he was able to use the attacks and the defenses with water in mind better at every single level of his strength.

Midnight had witnessed this various times. Now she was focused on it. With her mind changing rapidly, Su found herself standing next to Midnight silently. Su had vaguely sensed the changes but was too distant in connection with her bonds.

That did not mean she did not grasp what was happening. She understood that Midnight was in a state of self enlightenment. That she was understanding her own body and the manas she could control much better than she was able to before.

This spurred Su to start focusing on the elemental manas she used for defensive attacks as well. That would greatly strengthen what she was able to do in the long run when it came to defense. Beyond that, she would also be able to focus better on her sparring sessions with the other soldiers around.

Using the various system users in the Genesis forces had become a grand pastime for the training of everyone within Genesis. They were able to rapidly grow their battle experience since they were always facing various individuals who fought differently. Each technique acting as a grindstone to focus their strength and mental prowess. Something that Scylla saw as incredibly valuable.

As all this happened, Walker did not notice that his body had grown slightly. He had gained a little height along with his skin becoming very slightly tinged with a scale pattern as it grew tougher. Both of these things affected his resistances to elemental manas and other aspects attacks might carry.

His senses were also refined, hence why his eyebrows furrowed as he slept to recover from the intensity of his last meditation. But the sharpening of senses was a good thing. He was closer to how Midnight and Onyx sensed the world through their eyes, through their noses, and even in hearing.

That would make him much more able to focus on battle.

The greatest change though, was unseen. His body had learned to accept more manas that existed all around him. The life mana had allowed his body to change in that way. To accept purer amounts of elemental manas and natural mana as a whole.

While this was the case, life mana also better condensed within him. Because of his bond with Midnight who had grasped death mana a little more due to her experience with it, he also had death mana gather around him. Not that this was surprising since he had fought and defeated many monsters with his strength.

The space and time mana were the only two that had yet to influence him as greatly as the others. However, they were both present within him whether Walker could grasp that or not. They always would be a part of who he was. However, now, the two manas held a deeper connection to him than what they had before.

This led to a stronger ability to draw in and meditate with all manas. A major step closer to being able to wield true mana in any form or fashion. It was exactly what he had needed. The only cost had been the risks that came with doing this, and also the pain that had made Walker understand one thing. There was always greater pain, even pain that grated on the soul.

Regardless, Walker ended up sleeping for over a day with Alice acting as a constant caretaker. She was surprised to see that his hair was longer and body slightly different. Even when he opened his eyes from time to time, they were oddly more draconic and serpentine.

The various spirit race that came nearby also seemed to share a greater adoration for him. While most of the spirit race always cared for Walker because of Fleur or his actions to help awaken them, things had grown. They were closer to him with these changes. Like they had become some long lost and distant cousins.

”You should start training more too. You might find that you are falling behind him like we are.” Gil found Alice sitting next to Walker as he seemed to be waking up. But she shook her head. She had understood very well that she and he would never stand equal in pure strength. That was why she focused on healing so much more.

”Fine fine. Then at least do it since you have a virtue title. The better you understand that and your strength, the better you can rescue everyone. This battle will be hard.” Gil saw Aliceʼs eyes widen a little. Gil was rarely this serious.

It only went to show that he was worried about everything and the drastic risks that Walker was willing to take to be able to combat the demon lord when they saw him again. They had been vastly outdone just a short time ago. They needed to step up even more if they wished to be able to take him down.if they wished to save this world that they knew.

If they wished to allow the world to become what it was meant to be.
