Master Of None-Chapter 1705 1705. Find Your Instincts
The groups were already walking. Neil had flown up in the air a little ways to watch them go. He was still stunned about the changes that had happened in such a short time. For a while he had looked down at what his little village was becoming before his very eyes. Magic that could alter the land he lived in was rarely used, but now it was being used as if it was nothing.
The level of teamwork that he witnessed also made him disappointed by his own race and empire. He had seen so many fights in his time. He had been on battlefields where the only thought for every angel was survival.
Different opinions and even the slight differences in affinity had led to the death of entire families. To call the angel race a mess was too small. Especially when compared to the races he had never seen in his life and knew nothing about that had shown up right where he lived and had already offered a helping hand.
The decision to accept that hand and shake it with a smile was the best he had ever made. Even if it led to his entire empire fighting against him, he didn't care now. He was able to say that he made the best decision for the families he was put in charge of. His entire life of fighting had finally been brought to a turning point where he could create a better future. Why would he ever be unhappy about that?
While Neil was pondering this, Walker was marching ahead as the lead of these groups. He and his party had taken the lead with the royal dragons right behind. They were very angry that they needed to walk. However, in the interest of defeating the wyverns completely, they did not argue much. Instead, Walker had begun to catch on to something.
The others were marching in their own groups far off behind. It was spaced out so that the entire route they took could be easily enforced but also better mapped out as they traveled. This was just a precaution since this was still unfamiliar to them. The entire continent was a new place, an adventurer's dream.
What Walker had begun to grasp was not the new plants and other things around him. It was the fact that the royal dragons were some how walking and still gathering mana for themselves. Rise in particular was greedily pulling light elemental mana toward herself. Onyx and Alice had noted this very early before Walker had sensed it.
Onyx was the same as usual, he needed the light elemental mana as food for himself to grow even more. He was also keeping an eye on Aurora who was feeding on the light while benign wrapped around Alice's arm. He was always keeping an eye on Aurora since she had been the first heavenly serpent to hatch as he was the first abyssal serpent to hatch. They had a unique relationship as the two forests of their race to return to the world after being thought of as extinct.
Alice had the same deep sense of light elemental mana due to the fact that she had recently learned of her own bloodline related to the angels. It was odd that she carried it but now that there was an entire continent of angels, it made sense that some bloodline would remain within the bodies of humans who now lived where angels' ancestors had. Would every angel truly have left? Every race had outliers.
What walker had been surprised about was that many of the angels had not been light affinity. They had the similar wind affinity that Neil had with the odd fire and water mixed in with the children. Their wings had shown this off but just subtly. The angels that had light and darkness affinity might be rarer nowadays or they were more powerful in some aspects so they were with other similarly strong powers.
That was all just a side thought for Walker. Right now he was trying to copy the royal dragons and gather mana to himself while walking. He had meditated while sitting. That was the best way for Walker to gain mana. He had also pulled mana toward him by manipulating the natural mana in a specific way. However, he had never split his mind to force mana to gather and be ready for use at any time. He had to rely on mana gems in his armor or the eternal orb for this. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
"See, I told you that he would have an idea." Remey handed Gil a piece of jerky with an annoyed look. Walker glanced at them with his own annoyed look.
"If you two are going to bet on things, you should bet on whether I will help you make potions or you make arrows any time soon." Walker's threat made the two look away and pretend that they had done nothing.
"And that is what I told you would happen. Midnight and I will scout ahead now. You two can take up the rear while Walker figures something out. Alice, you should come too, those two will just give you bad ideas." Alice giggled a little and walked with Su and Midnight ahead.
"I will stay with you brother. I want to understand what they are doing as well." Onyx had grasped where Walker's thoughts were and taken his favorite place on Walker's shoulders in his smaller form. He was more than happy to learn about moving and gathering mana faster at the same time.
"I know you might want to teach it to your little ones." Walker could tell that if Onyx learned it he would immediately begin to figure out how he would go about teaching this to the younger abyssal serpents. The simple reason being so that they wouldn't have to spend their time sitting in the sun and watching. That way they would be able to move around and keep learning while they were able to also grow faster. It was the perfect balance since a young abyssal serpent was so weak at first. The heavenly serpents would be able to use this too if Aurora learned it. But Onyx knew that Aurora was still too far behind in growth to worry about this too much.
By watching how Rise was moving mana toward her but also keeping her eyes open and focused, Walke caught on that she was actually using her instincts to keep moving. As a dragon, Rise had powerful instincts. They could smell and sense things around them very well. It was why Midnight often alerted the party of danger if Gil couldn't catch it or Walker couldn't.
Therefore, Rise was using her instincts to remain with the others.s he could sense her fellow royal dragons and the unique scents they had matched with how their footsteps sounded. Even the breathing and mana around her from them was enough to guide how her body moved in dragonkin form. It was amazing watching such a precise form of acceptance when it came to basic instincts. Walker knew that he would have to change his focus to copy this.
As a human, the basic animalistic instincts were often put aside for intellectual thought. This was just years of habit based on how they formed a society. That wasn't a bad thing, it had allowed humans to become very adaptive to different situations which was why they had survived and created multiple kingdoms and cities elsewhere.
Tapping in to that while splitting focus to make mana come to him and gather was going to require some assistance. The eternal orb would be that assistance. Walker knew that it had a perfect connection to natural mana already. That meant he could use it in its natural orb form to gather mana and channel it to the spirit mark to help Fleur better.
From there, Walker needed to find the instincts that would allow him to walk and act in an instant. The lightning sword style along with the blade zone skill were the two skills that walker felt had a link to his instincts. The reason that he felt this way was because his speed was more than he felt his mind could normally comprehend when using the lightning sword style.
Furthermore, he had the idea that the blade zone was a unique way of sensing the areas around him. Not that he used it often since he knew that it took a toll on his body due to the movements he used when under the skill. His mana drained fast but he also had to put massive mental strain to force his body to move in ways that slashed at his blind spots. That was why he never used it, it was taxing and dangerous in a real battle.
That left Walker with the problem of finding his basic instincts that he had grown to oppress in some way to reach the same level as the other royal dragons.
