Chapter 378 - 378. Light And Dark
"Hold out your hand. You can manipulate light already right?" The light mage saw Walker nod, "Then I will guide you the same way my master has guided me, and the same way I guided my junior apprentice." The light mage helped Walker attract the light elemental mana. With the assistance, Walker was amazed at the decrease in mana he needed to get the light elemental mana to move to him.
The ball of light elemental mana was steadily condensing in to his right hand. He had a dangerous idea at that moment. "Do you want to assist me with the dark spear this way too? If I can balance the focus I have on both with your help and his help I might be able to learn them both a the same time. If I do that then I might be able to learn something special." The mages were pushed again in to a murmuring gossip.
"Can you handle the strain? The darkness mage was concerned that the strain of using two spells at once would break Walker's mind.
"I should be able to handle it. I was able to use two frost whips and the frosty ring skill at the same time earlier. If I can't I will let you two know immediately." The darkness mage rushed forward, all he had needed was a yes to start. This was a great chance to experiment.
The dark mage grabbed Walker's hand and pushed it towards his own shadow. Walker did not expect the cool feeling that came with entering his shadow, but he understood that due to the lack of other elements there was no other feeling that the shadows would have.
The darkness element started to condense in much the same way as the light. Walker used some additional mana to equal out the two balls of light and dark condensed mana. He wanted to make sure he was in balance the entire time so that he could more easily fuse them as he had done with the blak flames.
The two opposing elements grew in density until the two mages looked at Walker. This was their signal for him to start to form the blade and spear. Luckily Walker had used both of the weapons before and could easily imagine them starting to form. However, he was hit by a massive amount of pushback from the two condensed elements. They were trying to escape his grip and ignore his mana all together.
The watching mages saw his face twist in effort and prepared themselves for a rogue pell. Yet they saw that both the elements were starting to change, even though it was slow. The amount of mana the two mages were adding to the manipulation was not small, it was making the shaping much easier as Walker divided his attention.
The forming was taking some time but after a lot of effort, there was a ball of light that had sunk in to Walker's hand and started to make a blade. The same was happening on his left hand which now gripped a smaller dark spear. The system responded with his success.
'The user has simultaneously learned skills from the light mage and the dark mage systems. The skills light blade and dark spear have been learned automatically. These skills are opposing elements and have been equally guided by two high tier mages of the respective systems. The skills have been upgraded to equal the rank of the mages in cooperations.
Pure darkness spear- 6 mana cost
The darkness element is condensed in a pure form to the shape of a spear. The attacks inject a great deal of darkness element in to the target causing rapid decay. The user can make this spear appear instantly out of their own shadow. The user can only wield one dark spear at a time due to the user's current body strength. This can change upon stronger physical and mental inclination.
Pure light blade- 6 mana cost
The light element is condensed in a pure form to the shape of a sword blade. The attacks sever the connection with the soul causing mana to bleed out of the target at a high rate. The user can make this blade appear instantly as long as there is a fair amount of light in the surrounding light. The user can only wield one light blade due to the users' current body strength. This can change upon the stronger physical and mental inclination.'
Walker was incredibly happy as he saw the system notify him. He was sure that this amazing outcome was because f the hard work the light and dark mage put in to assist him. He couldn't help to start laughing out loud. This caused the two mages to release his hands and start to laugh as well. The entire room was soon laughing at the great success of the first step.
Alma was stary eyed at the insane speed at which Walker had gained these skills, and at the same time. "How can you do that in only two hours!"
"Wait, two hours? You're crazy. It has only been a few minutes." Walker couldn't believe that much time had passed them by as he was focused on the skills.
Alma shook her head, she was very used to the mages losing track of time while they focused on nothing but magic. Many of the mages gave Walker knowing expressions, they too had been in his shoes many times. "If that was two hours...how long will it take to make the two skills to fuse," Walker mumbled this out loud as he released the two skills and stood up to stretch his stiff body.
"Don't worry, we have enough mana potions to stay here for a few days. The other mages are already learning a lot. Look at the earth mage over there, they are trying to copy your stone arrow shape and pair it with that wind mage's wind gust spell. The two have been at it for half the time we worked and are already showing progress." The light mage had noticed the two other mages along with a few others practicing as soon as they had let go of Walker's hands.
"That's great! If they can use it too then they can do so much more." Walker could only hope that they would start to experiment with more skills so that he could start to fuse them as well. If he could gain a huge amount of elemental mana understanding then he would have the chance to gain more advanced skills. If he did this he could fight well about his stats and levels, this was evident in the fact that he could only wield one of the new skills at a time.
Walker and the two mages made sure they drank more of the mana potions that the other mages and Alma were providing. Walker could see the excitement in Alma's eyes. He knew that she was witnessing the improvement in many aspects of her culture already and only one party of adventurers were there. "I thought you heroes would be amazing, but the more I watch you the better it gets."
"Well, we didn't plan to come here. To be honest we were going to avoid it and hide Gil. But we ended up forced in ton the situation and in the end...It is the best thing to have happened." Walker was thinking of all the things he and the party were learning when he had the sudden realization that Su wasn't here. "Wait, wasn't Su supposed to be here?"
"Oh, she should be at some point. While you were focused I asked around a little and she is actually busy. She ran in to one of our elven craftsmen and started talking about her shields and skills. Now they should be exchanging knowledge and from what I understood making a deal for some materials to be brought back with you."
Walker couldn't help but be even more surprised. While he had been busy Su was out gathering materials from the elves that he was sure his kingdom did not have. Not only would the wandering blacksmith be in heaven, but they could also look forward to new gear at some point. It was like the party had shown up to a candy store and been given free samples.
Feeling energized and full of mana Walker used his two new skills to create a pure dark spear and a pure light blade. The two opposing elements in his hands made him look like a terrifying duel elemental mage about to enter a harsh battle." Now does anyone have any ideas of how to keep these two stable while I change their shapes to fuse them?' Walker was going to lean on the elven mage's knowledge to make this process smoother and eliminate wasted mana.
