Master Of None

Chapter 968 - 968. Stepping Style



Alice couldn't hold back her own smirk. Purifying someone was easy for someone with light elemental magic. But even more, she was trained as healer and had focused on songs that promoted healing and purifying. Not many people knew that she wrote her own sons the entire time that she had been in the church. The only ones she had not were the small songs taught to every child as they grew. 

The song might not do much since neither of them were in need of it, but it was one of the songs that Alice had used the most and she had perfected. The moment that she began to sing again, Walker knew what it was. This was the first song he had ever heard her sing. It caused people to recover their health faster and it purified them. Alice was able to sing this multiple times a day now without worry that she would run herself out of mana. Compared to when she had foist met Walker, she had come a long way. 

There was nothing that would stop Walker from listening to the entire song and even after Alice had stopped singing he was standing there looking at her with a soft smile. She finally gave him a push to get him back to reality. "Sorry…I don't think I will ever get used to how beautifully you sing." The compliment was one that Alice had heard many times. Yet, when Walker used it, she was thrown upside down with her heart racing. 

Fleur jumped up and floated over to Alices' shoulder before giving Walker a hard look. Neither of them caught in to what she wanted until she started gesturing around with her hands. "I guess you are right. It's my turn to show off what I can do." The assumption appeared to be correct since Fleur was leaning on Alice and watching carefully. The idea that she was going to see more magic and skills was exciting and Walker felt that Alice and he had been here to perform now instead of just train. 

"Well, I have needed to work on my footwork skills. When I use dance of the rabid rabbit I end up getting too focused and losing myself slightly. I wanted to try and learn the movements that I saw the dragonkin warriors using. They called it scale step and it was much faster. The only problem with that was that it didn't focus on dodging the same way that the dance of the wild rabbit does. It is more of a brute force standing over your style." 

The images of the dragonkin using these movements had been burned in to his mind., Not only did it make them have a constantly tough base when they were attacked or attacking but it made them much faster. They were also able to faster react to Walker which made him wonder if it was some different way of using instincts. The dance of the wild rabbit reacted using instincts but the scale step seemed to act ahead of time and control the pace of battle with instincts. 

There was genuine interest in the idea that Walker would be using a skill that he had seen from a dragon. Alice had seen the dragons come in and rushed out of the cathedral with everyone else to witness it. But she had not heard much as to what had happened and why they were there until she had heard it from others. The party had not been able to leave the Genesis building much since they were so busy with the rulers and law making. Therefore, most of the information was gossiped about by the guards to others. 

Walker was talking himself through the motions he had watched all of the dragonkin warriors using. The food work seemed to be more balanced on the balls of their feet using their clawed feet to dig in to the earth and propel them forward with more force. This was something that Walker lacked as a human and not a dragonkin. But that was not his goal. He would not copy them exactly. He was considered a royal to the dragons and he had to look beyond what the dragonkin could use. Especially since he had never seen the movements of a real dragon fighting. 

The first idea was to combine the wind ripple skill, dance of the wild and rabid rabbit skills, and the scale step. If he could push them all together he would be able to carry the reactions of the dance of the wild and rabid rabbit skills while being able to step in to the air to avoid and attack. Then he would have the pure unrelenting force of the scale step. 

The furrowed brow Walker had told Alice and Fleur that Walker was extremely focused and had fallen in to his own world. The slow steps he had begun to take around the training field avoiding the dummies were odd and uncoordinated. Both of them tilted their head in confusion as they watched him softly strike forward while moving. There was no damage or hurry but for some reason, they felt that the air was getting harder to breathe in. Alice herself could tell that the mana she would normally be able to call upon due to the sun being high in the sky was harder to grasp. 

After half an hour of his movements, Walker felt his breathing start to align with his steps. For some reason, he was feeling unbalanced while attempting this. His body was screaming at him to stop because of the awkward steps and strange angles he would move in to avoid the earth dummies he had made. It would cry out, even more, when he attempted to attack with even more force. After using the wind ripple skill to step up and come down a few times he felt that his muscles were beginning to cry out against him at a whole new level. He was moving unnaturally for what a human body was used to.
