Master Of None

Chapter 1133 – 1133. Tears Of Freedom

Neil punched forward at one of the remaining spawns lf Lust and found that his hand hit soft viscous fluid. The demons that Lust had spawned to help her control others were melting in to a puddle of poison before his eyes. "They must have beaten Lust. Good timing too." Alma pointed out the six others that were becoming melted pools behind them. They had not been ready to defeat that many at once since Lust had called them back inside to battle. 

"We will need to deal with the poison. Did Lord Walker mention that he had a skill for it?" Neil and Alma both couldn't remember in their moments after the battle. The relief that they felt from Lust being defeated was distracting enough while they caught their breath. Since this was the case they rushed toward the main hall through the maze of hallways. Alma was sending out mana to cause the lightning vines to fall and wilt. 

Water was still running through the castle but it was lessening as it did so. Something that the water elves succeeded in was creating an easy to drain castle due to their water affinity. It showed that the poison left by the melting spawn of Lust would meet the waters of the lake further poisoning it. "Walker! The poison!" The pair burst in to the room to see the icy remains of the battle.

Midnight was nursing a side of her body while Walker healed it. She had been bruised and then used her powerful frost breath. It had been too much for her, yet she had pushed on. It was rare for her to take direct hits like that and the toughness of her scales had been put to the test. "We know, there are a lot up here melting too. We knew this might happen though." Gil had already gotten down from the balcony. He was ready to start a sweep of the castle since there were sure to be people that still needed help. 

'Purifying pulse- 35 natural mana ( temporary)

The user gathers natural mana around them and releases it in a pulse. This pulse calls on the mana around and amplifies the power to purify any poison from anything the pulse touches. The more mana that this pulse encounters the longer the skill will continue. This skill can clear any negative skills and statuses placed upon someone. '

Walker read the simple evaluation of this skill and smirked. "I healed Midnight as much as I can. Let's go to the lowest point of the castle so I can use the purifying pulse skill. It's temporary so I am going to unload a lot of mana in to it. I also have a feeling that we will find the dungeons full of people. There have to be more water elves than we have seen." It was clear that not every single water elf had been taken advantage of. Even some of the half demon half elves would have resisted the poisons to a degree. The only hope was that Lust had not done the worst to them. 

The group moved efficiently to find the stairs heading downward. There were multiple water tight doors that had blocked water from heading downwards. "I would say these are the dungeons here," Neil spoke and immediately punched down three doors in a row. They revealed stairs that led them to a large room full of metal cages. Many water elves, demons, and some humans here and there were trapped. They looked up in awe to see that they were being freed. None had expected to get out alive, especially the demons that had been taken from their homes and dragged here for reasons beyond their imagination. 

"Lust is defeated. Please wait here for me to purify your lands."Walker felt a powerful gust of wind move through the castle. "Our reinforcements are here to build you back up. The Genesis alliance welcomes every single one of you that has been wronged by corruption. Please rest easy and ask for help where you need it." Walker's shout was sweeter than any music that these people had heard. They had had little hope of survival beyond that second. Now they were seeing a future open up. Even a new alliance they had never heard of rescued them. Years of stress were falling away and many burst in to tears. 

While Gil and Alma began to help, Midnight went through and used her claws to break open cage after cage. Some were so packed that it was hard to tell just how many people had been forced in to it. What was surprising more than anything was the fact that the water elves were not treating the demons any differently. They had all been forced in to these situations and knew the hardships the demons faced. Not only this, but the demons had shared their true lives with the water elves after so many years. Never had the water elves known how oppressed the demons were by their own rulers. 

Mana was gathering around Walker as he stood in the center of the room. By adding almost all of his mana to the natural mana he was pulling toward him and that was in the spirit mark, he would be able to purify any lingering poisons. In a flurry of mana, he released the purifying pulse causing the entire population within the castle to freeze in place. Many were feeling clarity they had not for years. 

Their minds cleared, they felt the relief washing over them. The stained walls of the castle returned to the pure blue and white while the waters became vibrant and sparkling yet again. The air even felt crisper. It was the very being of the area being cleansed of every atrocity that had been forced on them through these years.
