Master Of None

Chapter 2146. Walking On Clouds

'Wind flow skeleton n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This is a powerful skeleton that has been experimented with. It's bone cracked due to the intensity of wind mana being forced within them. Due to this it has a very fragile physical body. However, it also possesses a decent strength within the body where the uniqueness of undead mana and wind have mixed. This caused it to radiate a death mana that is perfectly balanced with wind. Most people would feel this as innate danger that wind blades, attack skill, and other wind related battle skills possess since they can cause death. However, this is just the state of the wind maa that exists as the core of the skeleton's bones. As such, it can now not survive without wind mana. It is forced to remain within the wind elemental plane as a failure to become a balanced being. Its intelligence is not able to function and the bond with the creator that raised it is gone. It is not aggressive unless it comes in contact with another being. In that case, it will most likely attack due to the distatest for living beings naturally occurring within undead…'

"It has a lot of control over wind mana., iot also has some control over death mana because it is an undead. There is also something called undead mana. Might be a mix of life and death mana. But that doesn't matter." Walker knew that the details and the information from the all around appraisal was not as important as other details. Right now, what was important, was that this skeleton had spotted them and was moving toward them. Especially since they would have to fight it. The attacks could carry a lot more dangers than what they had fought before. Especially since there was death mana involved. Deathly wind blades would not be the best for them right now. They could leave wounds that might not be able to be easily healed. They might even need Walker to tap in to life mana to heal. The results could be wounds that didn't actually heal, using some life manas that couldn't be recovered, and a few other issues with their lives as a whole. "It's starting to gather more wind. I can sense it." Since Gil could feel the wind closely, he knew that the attack being created would be very dangerous. It gave them all time to move away as a large wind blade was condensed. A deep green wind blade split through the space toward them. It could have easily sliced them up in to pieces. Especially with the ominous mana that tried after it. "That's death mana, isn't it?" When Su felt that ominous mana, she realized this was something that Walker had sensed before all of them. That he had started to make sense of along with other manas like it. More mysterious and hard to control manas than any others. Moving to the side again, another wind blade passed by them. They were quick, but the formation of them was slow. The wind flow skeleton was too obvious with how it was moving the wind mana and where it would attack. Simply because it lacked the intelligence to attack more often and quicker. That was a good thing though. It was already considered another failed experiment from the immortal king. If it was that, then there would be more. Luckily, there were no other wind flow skeletons around. From what it seemed, the immortal king was experimenting until a result was made. When he decided he did not like that result, then he moved on. If that was the case, then the immortal king knew that he was not getting any nearer to his goal right away. That he had to keep working on other aspects of what he was doing. specifically, finding manas that he was able to entirely meld with his undead. "He wants to find manas he can mix with his new body before getting to some death mana plane or death mana space. That has to be what he's doing." Walker felt that this made the best sense. If the immortal king was going to need more power to control the death mana, then making the body he had just shifted himself in to completely stranger was a must before that. Without the strength of an improved body, he would not be able to handle the incredibly complex death mana. Walker was very adept in understanding manas, he knew very well that death mana was on another level of power. "Another blade to the left, then to the right." Gil's sense of wind was improving. He was also able to sense that Zephyr was back to being awake but refusing to leave the wind elemental plane. She preferred to stay with Gil in the spirit mark. She was comfortable there and did not have to face whatever the wind elemental plane would attract. Simply put, she was comfortable and didn't want to deal with trouble. That was to be fair though. The elemental spirits of the world where the spirit race now. Not elemental spirits. The elemental planes might remind them of what they had been and make it feel that they were traveling backwards and not forwards. After all, they were still establishing what it meant to be a spirit race. "You said that its body is weak, right? I can break it then." Gil didn't hesitate after saying this to Walker. He mostly said it since he was worried that Walker might have another way to handle this monster. But he let Gil move with his plan. In a swift motion, Gil drew an arrow with his bow. It radiated syringe rewind mana than the others. But it was not infused with wind mana. It was one of the rune carved wind arrows made from unique materials. This arrow was now in an area highly dense in wind mana on top of earth mana. While the earth mana did not do anything since the runes were not earth runes, the wind mana flowed freely. This dense wind mana was going to overflow within the wind arrow. It was not able to handle so much mana at once. Nor were the runes able to withstand the pressure. Therefore, Gil figured he would test a theory. As the wind rune arrow flew closer to the wind flow skeleton, it tried to send out another wind blade. But because the arrow was forcefully drawing more wind mana, that skill was interrupted. Causing the wind blade to fail and the arrow to have reached its limit. A single burst of dangerously pure wind mana shot multiple wind blades in various directions. Su blocked them as they came towards the party. She was strong and able to resist them now that they did not hold any death mana. But the wind blades that were right next to the wind flow skeleton wreaked havoc on its damaged and broken skeletal body. Because it had not developed within the wind elemental plane. It was going to be weaker than those that grew and thrived there. As its bones broke, the wind glow skeleton lost the last structure that held it together. It lost everything it needed to be able to function. The last results were the wind flow skeleton falling to pieces and the light bones moving away in the wind with the desert sands. The party looked at the direction that the wind flow skeleton had come from. They all knew that this was the direction that they had to move. The skeleton had come from there so ahead would be the immortal king and the undead they were chasing. It was odd to see a world of dense clouds made of only wind mana ahead of them. The sands flawlessly mixed in to them and they were surprisingly solid. Especially since they knew that this was really not solid ground so to speak. But it wasn't like they would just fall through something. There was no ground to fall in to. Just more wind mana that was even denser than what theta already saw. Midnight leaped around happier than ever. This was an event and experience that no one else could have ever had. Moving on clouds purely made of wind mana? How could that exist? This was like flying but better since the feeling of flight was there without any worries of falling. "This is amazing, brother, we should explore this plane some day," Onyx also found the same enjoyment as Midnight. To be fair, they were all feeling the same. It almost stopped them from their goals. However, their hunt for the immortal king was still solid in their minds. That was why they were all able to catch themselves. Able to bring themselves back to focus and keep moving. The only one that still struggled was Gil who could feel the wind closer due to his bond with Zephyr.
