Master Of None

The monster that lay on the snow was nothing that they had imagined would be at the end of the fishing pole. "This is definitely not a blue koi…" Walker was stunned to see the long snake like fish that was nearly clear as glass. The ice that was holding on to its body in chunks was similarly shaped like it and Walker felt that it had been starting to use some skill to resist them before they pulled it from the icy waters. 

'Ghostly ice eel

The ghostly ice eel is a very weak monster that is considered very dangerous. It can freely travel unseen in water causing it to be an assassin like hunter. The eel is often reclusive and does not venture out often. Yet, when it is out it will use its' hallmark skill ice armor. This will cause ice to form around it in the same shape as the eel. The size of the eel doubles and it gains the ability to defend and attack stringer opponents than itself. The ghostly ice eel is considered a delicacy and a valuable material for crafting. The pendants made with their nearly clear eyes are able to ward off strong illusion magic skills. While its tender meat is extremely nutritious.'

The ghostly ice eel did not last long out of the water and it was soon in the same state as the blue koi before. The uses that it had as an illusion resistant material were enough to make it double as valuable as the blue koi. The fact that its meat was supposed to be nutritious was a bonus that the group could enjoy at their meal tonight and possibly when they returned home if they managed to catch more. 

"This is really something. I wonder if there ae more. If there are we need to pull them up fast before they use their ice armor skill. I don't think we will have a chance when that happens." There was surety in Walkers' voice but the wandering blacksmith didn't hear a word. He was in his own world after seeing the material he had not expected in the least. 

The fishing pole was cast yet again, however, Walker had no time to rest because the second pole started to be pulled on by another fish. This time it was the same feeling as the blue koi. There was strength in the attempts to be unhooked and it took the two of them to pull it up on to the share after a few minutes of battling. 

T was smaller than the last but still close to the same size. 

"This might be very lucky, or, the blue koi are all large in this place and we have not been catching large ones in comparison to what might-" The second fishing pole was being pulled on the same way as the one that had just been reeled in. There was no time to rest and the pair hurriedly pulled up a blue koi. This one was not the same though.

There was a small chunk of scales and meat that had been bitten from the blue koi and it seemed to match the size of the ghostly ice eels' mouth. "Let's catch that eel that messed up our perfect blue koi." The determination led Walker to cast the fishing pole in to the same spot it had just been while the other pole went close to the area. 

There was no need to wait. It seemed that they had stirred up all the fish in the area and there was a pull on the line immediately. The battle that ensued was nothing like before. It was harder. The second fishing pole was being pulled on too but the pair did not have the ability to reel both in at once. 

'The skill speed reeling has been taken from the deep sea fishermen system. The user has automatically learned the skill speed reeling.

Speed reeling- 2 mana cost per hour

The user uses their mana to flow through their body and in to the reel of the fishing pole. The reel can resist the heat created through faster reeling and the user can push their speed faster with less risk of damage to the pole. Small fish won't know when they left the water. Large fish will bow to the speed they are pulled from their homes.'

There was a flow that Walker felt as he sped up his reeling. This more than helped against the heavier weight on the line this time. Especially when they brought the blue koi on land. It was easily half a foot larger than the first two. But there was no time to marvel at their catch. The second line was being tugged and moved side to side. 

The pulling they felt was as if the line was being pulled from different directions in a frenzy. "I think something is attacking the koi. We should be able to get whatever is attacking it." Walker readied himself to pull a sword from his inventory and slice at whatever may be eating the 

The heaves and intense reeling brought up a blue koi similar to the size of the last. But it had been lightened by more than one predator. It had been bitten and torn up but five squirming ghostly ice eels still burying themselves within the blue koi. They were so in to their meal that they did not notice they had been pulled to shore when it was too late. 

"The blue koi might be ruined but there are five more eels for you. Should we keep it up?"

 The pair was going to cast again when they heard Remey and Midnight making much more noise than before. 

"Midnight, keep it steady. It ruined my herb so I'm going to smash it!" There was pure anger in Remey's voice.
