Master of none - Chapter 2272: Matching Energy

“I thought you were still locked away in your alchemy lab making new potions and reviewing the herbs sent your way after being grown at faster rates with unique skills?” The casual question was very against the atmosphere within the coliseum.

To Walker, it sounded like he was just appearing here as if on a casual stroll.

But for those within the coliseum, they had been battling and fighting. They had been shouting.

They had been going all out! This was the attitude the coliseum always had after all.

“I do go out you know!” and there was Remey’s annoyance showing its face.

However, Walker had been glancing at Midnight who was covered in some unique flames.

“You are training some new skills, right? You keep mixing the skeletal armor skill with different flames that cover your whole body and are even being absorbed in to your scales.”

With just a little looking, Walker had followed the flow of mana.

“Stronger!” Midnight stomped one of her feet a little as she proudly showed off the scales brimming with black flames before she used wind mana around her body to further stoke the flames and cover her body in more heat.

It could easily deter most opponents. freeweɓnøvel.

“Oh, just call me a shut in and then ignore me? You think you have a chance to get away?” Walker stepped out of the way of a full flame punch from Remey. He had sensed her move and the fire mana that she wielded.

This just further pushed Remey in to another combination of attacks though. Jabs and right or left hooks making her seem like she was focused just on one style of her fighting.

That was until Walker sensed a lack of mana which was standing out.

The sudden kick had no mana in it.

Remey had used that as a test to see how Walker would react. From that point on, her movements doubled in speed while the crowd present began to go wild.

They hadn’t expected this change of events and to be honest, they loved it. This was the colosseum and they were here to train and fight.

So if their heroes were here, then they had to show some noise.

The fake attacks that Remey used varied in how much fire mana she added to them.

This meant that he would accidentally didge in to attacks or he would need to move further away to avoid sudden kicks. The worst part being, that the attacks without fire mana were easily more dangerous than what one would think.

Remey had seriously powerful strength in general. From the simple fact that she had always been a brawler in the frost place.

Her body was geared toward being a brawler and to her, fighting was the very same as breathing. Plus, she could fight multiple opponents at once since she had done so when she was little in the orphanage.

Now, she had just trained herself with the party to be able to do that and even more. Against monsters and enemies of Genesis.

Hence why she was so powerful without even using the strength of her mana in an attack.

Walker could resist her, but he had neglected the physical side of his training and focussed on the mana related side.

For obvious and clear reasoning. But he couldn’t match Remey’s close combat abilities.

He would be way too arrogant to say that he could rival her in hand to hand combat.

“What? Can’t keep up since you have been too busy wandering around doing a whole bunch of nothing?” Remmey knew that Walker didn’t really do nothing.

She also knew that he had often worked on smaller tasks that went to help the overall future of the city. But she also knew that if she taunted him, she could get a better fight out of him.

The thing that Remey knew well, was that Walker was able to adapt to other people’s moods accordingly. Thaat was why it was enjoyable to fight with him.

He could easily begin to get fired up and match her energy if she started to taunt him enough while fighting.

“Fine, I can show off some new tricks that will make you feel pretty damn weak!” He roared out and stepped forward, entirely disappearing from her sight.

Remey only barely reacted when she felt the threat from behind her.

As she dodged for the first time realizing that if she was hit she would go down, Remey looked and noticed that the threat she felt had already disappeared and was coming from her right side.

The only thing that stopped the attack was the sudden intervention from Midnight.

“Don’t.

Ignore. Me!”

To be fair, they hadn’t been intentionally ignoring her.

But also to be fair, Walker was the one that interrupted the battle between her and Remey. Now he was keeping everyone that was lucky enough to be there to witness it focused on them and not at all on Midnight’s new skill which she was training and testing.

Remey’s flame wings flung out to push her away from the attacks of Walker and Midnight. The tail narrowly missing her while Walker blinked away from them again.

“I really need to work on this skill. I feel like I just ran from the dwarven city to Genesis three times.”

Walker had not taken in to account how taxing his new skills were on his body. Using teleportation and sped up since they were holding back in their sparring.

He was able to use his full focus to manage the mana and draw in more. But that didn’t mean that he would be able to keep it up.

“Midnight! Catch him so I can land a good punch!” Remey didn’t hate that Midnight had jumped in on the battle. She just smirked while dashing forward after she landed again.

Her fists had stopped pulling fire mana around them though. That was when Walker noticed that she was using some of the spare knuckles she had carried.

While they would not survive her current strength, Remey had wanted to use them here and there while she waited for her gauntlets to be perfectly tuned to her. Hence why she also held back a little more lately when it came to mana usage.

She wanted to keep herself calm for when she could properly test out her new gauntlets to her full capabilities.

The wind mana gathered on her fists as Remey used it to strike a shockingly speedy jab at Walker.

Midnight’s following claw attack with black flames engulfing her talons made things much harder too. But they should have expected that walker would not just sit there for it.

The sudden flash of wind as Walker stole away the wind mana that Remey gather and used it in tandem with space mana to flash forward and appear right in front of Midnight’s nose was enough to show that the pair had been underestimating the way that Walker was sparring. Just because he had been dodging did not mean that he was just going to dodge.

He had been feeling out their battle style while they fought. He had been sensing the ways that Remey had adjusted to the flow of mana that made her, her, as a trie fire dragon soul.

And he had been watching how Midnight used the new skill to defend herself and ensure that she was protected from various forms of attacks with her added flame defenses.

But he had noticed how the skill would fade if Midnight moved.

She was not accustomed to moving and using these flames as additional defenses yet. Therefore, when he was close enough, he used the wind he gathered to punch out at a weak point and completely end the flames around Midnight.

She could only sit there stunned as she also realized that Walker had used the same mana which dispersed after moving at an incredibly quick speed to then attack again. It was incredibly efficient and Midnight, nor Remey, could do what he had just done.

It was enlightening though.

“I wonder if I can do that with alchemy fire…” Remey’s mind wondered if she could keep incorporating the same waste products from making potions to make other things.

Or even to enhance the potion she was making.

Every process caused smoke or some form of waste in alchemy.

Maybe, she could make something that utilized every material. Every single herb perfectly.

Midnight on the other hand, was looking at how she had lost her skill and how she might be able to improve it. Walker just stood next to her and began to try and copy her skill so he could train it with her.

The same thing they had done in the past when learning new skills. That way, they would both get stronger together.

The crowd loved it as they began to filter in to the coliseum and begin their own training. They got to train with a few heroes today.

This was the perfect chance to take advantage of it.
