Master Of None

Chapter 2618: 2618. Supplies

”I only have seventy thousand arrows in my spatial quiver, not sure if that will be enough. What if we have to fight one of those titan dragons that the radiant light elves told us fly through elemental planes.”

Everyone looked at Gil as he had been explaining the arrows he was bringing. While they were disgusted by the sheer numbers of arrows he possessed, they knew that this was a normal result. Gil was always making arrows even though he didnʼt need them.

Just imagining the arrows he made while teaching other elves how to make some more advanced arrows for his bow would lead to him having hundreds. Add in the experimentation, and here he would be. Entirely full of arrows for years if he didnʼt abuse them and waste them.

”The healing arrows are the most unique since I had to have halers infuse their skillʼs manas in to them. I actually worked with some of the magic scroll makers and they were the ones that told me it would be possible. They even carved the runes on the arrow since they have to carve some smaller rune patterns to even make a proper magic scroll sometimes.”

He was showing what anyone would have called a dull stick and not an arrow. This was not a new idea since Gil had used healing light arrows before but they would cause damage to the target before healing them. Not very advantageous and also it was more to deal light mana damage to the undead and didnʼt have a practical healing benefit.

However, this arrow was made from softer wood and weighted with small amounts of light affinity ore. The wood was carved with some light mana rune patterns but Walker could also sense a little life mana in the arrow itself. Meaning that the wood allowed it to absorb that as well.

The healing that the arrow would provide was like a cloak. It would hit the target and the brittleness of the soft wood would allow the mana to break free. In doing so it would follow the carved patterns and activate the stored healing skill used on the arrow itself. Same as a magic scroll would work as well.

This would lead the target to be healed of minor injuries or even help major ones be prevented from causing immediate death. A valuable tool for Gil who would often be very far from the others while he was sniping at longer ranges with potent elemental mana arrows.

”I also have some better arrows that Alma made for me. She said that she made them for when I would go in to a place too dangerous for my own good but she couldnʼt stop me.” Gil pulled out a quiver of several arrows. They had seeds embedded in the arrow heads and the shafts too.

ʼFrenzy vine arrow

This arrow has been infused with seeds and mana from a higher class user able to grow plants rapidly. Due to this, the seeds are stored with immense potential energy allowing them to grow rapidly even in harsh or inhospitable environments. The seeds are various different thorny and vine plants causing a strange mix of manas, poisons, and other additional effects.

When fired, the mana shielding the seeds from growing will be cut away and the target hit will be engulfed in hundreds of rapidly growing vines. The area will also temporarily be covered in the same plants until all mana is depleted and the plants die naturally due to poor conditions, lack of mana, and lifespan issues.

The poisons within some of the plants are extremely dangerous causing…ʼ

Walker read the all around appraisal to everyone. He knew that Gil was most proud of this arrow set since it had been made secretly by Alma to make sure that he was safe.

”You and poisonous arrows and plants. Alma made you something dangerous but I have the antidote.” Remey offered one of the potions from several crates she had delivered to the mansion.

While Remey had been working on potions, mostly experimentation, she had also been working on her own potions for the party to use. More potent potions that the average person would suffer backlashes from if they took. Not everyone could handle the highest of whaling potions. Their body would not have enough nutrients to heal that rapidly and the nutrient potions given would not be enough if the healing potion was too high quality. There was a cost and balance to everything. Hence why alchemy was so hard to master for everyone.

ʼPoison and venom burning potion

This potion is in no way safe for anyone with minimal fire resistance to consume. While the flames within the potion are derived from various herbs known for treating poisons and venoms, their mixture is volatile and causes a severe reaction within the body. The fire mana will cause burns inside the body and blood vessels. If the fire resistance is not strong enough, the individual will be poisoned by this potion. If the fire resistance is great enough, this potion will rapidly burn away poisons and venoms.

This potion can only be consumed once a month due to the potential damage it causes the body. The high temperature even with fire resistance is a massive strain on a body unless other unique resistances, healing factors, and other methods are used to recover the body.ʼ

”So you made an even more dangerous way to deal with poisons and venomous?” Gilʼs skeptical face made Remey snort.

”And you tell me you have a solution to venoms and poisons we have never seen? Tell me exactly how that will work then? Your light purification arrows? And what if those weak arrows you donʼt even use are not strong enough?”

The two started to bicker which left Su to bring out some of the new elemental resistance armors that Su had made. Some were not made by the wandering blacksmith. Not because he couldnʼt or he wouldnʼt be good to use, these were made by specific elemental foremasters and craftsmen.

The reason being that they could specify the resistances and specialize in just resisting the dangerous aspects of that one mana. They had skills perfectly aligned to handle that and only that making their resistances higher than what the wandering blacksmith would make. However, their durability and craftsmanship was not as perfect as the wandering blacksmith meaning that they had a higher chance of breaking. Hence why she had multiple sets.

The added elemental shields were all styled off the first pair of twin shields she had used. The ones made with Midnightʼs baby scales she shed. This meant that they were comfortable and easy for Su to use. However, the best armor was one made by the wandering blacksmith.

ʼSentinel armor

All elemental distances with this armor are enhanced by fifty percent. The body is able to absorb some mana due to the rune formations carved on this armor and use that mana to enhance skills as long as the affinities are matched. The defensive abilities are increased to double the normal defensive ability of the user due to the flexible and absorptive capabilities of the alloy made.

The forging methods of this armor is kept entirely secret due to the experimental potential it has.

The metal can resist all manas and the shields associated can even be used to reflect magical attacks. There is an additional skill attached called perfect guardian which will cause the manas stored within several mana gems on the armor pieces to create a force field of dense mana allowing for several moments of boosted defenses as long as the user does not move from where they stand.

The mana gems absorb mana from the surroundings meaning that the defensive ability can be focused on just one mana rather than multiple at once but is stronger with balanced manas…ʼ

The armor that Su had was definitely one she would equip during an intense battle where she absolutely needed to value defense over all else. She would be weighted down and slower with this mirror but she could easily resist powerful attacks. It was a safety that he could bring to the entire party and also to her own body which would put Walkerʼs mind at ease.

This just left Walkerʼs focus on midnight and Onyx.

The pair seemed to have brought what they also believed would be valuable to their trip. Besides the food that Midnight and Onyx wished Walker to cary for them, he was surprised to see they had actually brought some monster materials, potions, and even a few magic scrolls. It appeared that after they had handled their duty bound responsibilities, they had met up together to procure everything they believed the party would need. Walker just had to make note of it all.
