Chapter 303 - 303. Hammer Skills



This was the intention he had missed though, the ground around him was being manipulated by Walker\'s skills and it was rising behind him. He noticed this too late and realized that he had no way to back up or dodge to either side. He was a rat in a cage!

Walker advanced before his opponent could get a bearing on where to go and was already in front of the swordsman with a softer swing to knock him down. "What the- where did that come from!?" The two swordsman brothers were understandably lost. They were not focused on magic but on close combat and only close combat, they had missed the fluctuations of mana that their mage partner had been feeling in both battles. 

"That hammer is really too powerful, I\'d like to see you try a fight without it." This was a little bit of jealousy talking but Walker did not mind. He had gained a skill he wanted and the system had notified him in this moment.

\'The skill elemental smash has been taken from the arcane gladiator system. The user has met the requirements to learn the skill elemental smash.

Elemental smash- 1+ mana cost

Depending on the elemental mana manipulated by the user the blunt weapon used can influence and cause damage related to the chosen element. This can be made more powerful by gathering more or less elemental mana within the bunt weapon. The user must not exceed the weapons capacity or else the weapon could be extremely damaged.\'

Walker was not worried about the damaging of the hammer since it was so tough, however he was worried that if he tried the skill with any other weapon the results could be poor. "Fine, then I will use another weapon for the next match. I am facing your wind mage friend there right?" He was smiling like this did not bother him at all. 

The two brothers did not expect this because they had expected him to hold his hammer tighter and say that it was the only weapon he could use with his system. Normally this would be the case but since they did not know that Walker could wield any weapon that was not a specific mastery weapon. 

"Use what ever weapon you want. I need to get better in combat." The mage\'s small voice reached Walker\'s ears and he nodded. He wanted to use the hammer more but decided to rise to the challenge and really show off. 

"I will use two new hammers that I have no practice with." He said this as an honest gesture to the mage who believed him and smiled at the handicap. The two hammers showed up while the large one disappeared in to the  inventory. 

The three opponents were shocked with this demonstration of spatial magic and were now completely lost to what kind of system Walker had. They at first believe he had some form of close combat system that was able to use a more unique weapon like a hammer. Then they believed that the hammer could use elemental magic by design. They had not considered the magic was coming from him. 

Walker held the balanced hammers in his hands. He turned them so the bladed side would be away from his opponent since the wind mage had armor that could be easily damaged by the blades. "Are you ready?" 

The look of Walker adjusting to the weight and balance of the two hammers put them at ease since the two swordsman brothers were worried that their third member could get hurt. It was very normal for the mage or supporter of a party to have a weaker health or defense so that they could emphasize magic attack as a main damage dealer. 

The wind began to stir sound the mage as she gathered the elemental mana to start off her own attack. For an inexperienced opponent the change in the wind would make getting up close and personal a little tougher. However Walker was used to using the wind as well and did not even flinch at this wind.

He pushed towards her, making the mage a little nervous. There was a wall like gust of wind that pushed out from the mage as soon as she moved her staff. The elemental crystals glowed with a green light and put more force in to it. The wall of wind pushed Walker back a few feet keeping the distance while the mage gathered more for another spell. The ball of wind being formed was all too easy for Walker to sense. 

He gained his footing and pushed forward again. He found that the smaller hammers did not have the same ability to channel mana that the large one did, but this was to be expected. The were tougher and definitely had decent weight to the, to deal harder physical attacks. Walker had a feeling that if he used the blade wheel skill or the cross slash skill he could easily win using the bloated side of the hammers. However he wanted to learn new skills and understand what was going on with the bunch weapons in his hands. 

He got closer and the wind around the mage started to pick up. It was impressive how tough the air around her was to move in since he was so used to being within something similar. The ball of wind shot at him but he laid himself flat in the ground to dodge it. He had no problem with dodging but the wind that passed by him started to pull him with it. Walker was forced to spin one of the hammers and use the bladed side to anchor him while the ball of wind passed by. 

The look of the mages face as he stood up and started to close the distance between them again was an unhappy one. " I didn\'t expect the attack to pull me with it even though I dodged. It\'s a very good lesson." Walker praised his opponent before breaking in to a run. He swung his hammers down in turn trying to hit the mage who used some wind magic to boost her speed. 

This support magic was very useful to reduce air friction on the body and boost agility. It caught Walker off guard as he constantly sent the hammer strikes down in groups of two. The system was watching and notified him of his new skill while he pushed farther. Walker paid in to mind and kept up his onslaught. 

The mage was burning through her mana much faster than expected by using all of the wind elemental mana in the area. Walker knew this and had been biding his time, now was the chance he had been waiting for. 

Walker used his grand elemental manipulation to disrupt the wind causing the mage to become incredibly shocked. She had never felt someone stop her magic using the same element as her. It was an extremely rare occurrence that usually only came about when two people with the same or similar systems fought. 

She could not gather the appropriate amount of wind element to push Walker back and was left to face the two oncoming hammers by herself. However just as Walker was about to swing them down the two swordsman brothers jumped in with their shields raised to block. "We think that is far enough." 

Walker looked at the over protective brothers and nodded. "I rarely get to try out some new skills on people I don\'t know. I learned a lot just now." The group had spent almost a half hour battling to learn that they had barely scraped the surface of Walker\'s skills. 

"How did you break my wind?" The mage had only one question. She had never encountered this and was understandably shaken by the experience. She never wanted to feel her element abandon her again. 

"Oh I have a skill that lets me manipulate the element. So I just used it a little to cause the wind elemental mana to run wild." Walker placed the two hammers in to his inventory and then raised a hand making a small breeze flow toward the mage. 

"So you\'re an elemental mage that can use weapons...Pretty rare." The younger brother was impressed to meet a unique system holder like this. 

"Nope, I can do a lot more than that." Walker was feeling a little arrogant and pulled out his staff and then put it away. He then pulled out the twin blitz swords then put them away. "I have a few other random weapons but I can use them all." 

"You\'re a weapons master! I thought there were only two in the entire kingdom?!" The older brother was immediately shocked by this. Being a weapons master was a very rare system that the military would give anything for.
