Chapter 443 - 443. Reclaim
The azure butterflies felt the threat of enemies and saw the enforcers running towards the group. This was their sign to attack but they were not able to properly for their water bolt skills before Gil released the light elemental wither spike arrow.
Walker saw the arrow leave Gil\'s hand and immediately used half of his mana on the high earth sculpting skill. The ground cracked and twisted creating a tower around them. There were stairs up to three stories. They each had a small window to shoot from making the enforcers act quickly to take positions.
"Shield your eyes. The arrow is activating the light elemental mana!" Gil shouted while they all closed their eyes and avoided the blinding effect of the arrow.
The burst of light could even be seen through their eyelids but was not enough to cause them ay blurred or blind vision. However, the sounds of flapping and chaotic fluttering was a different matter. These sounds were all around outside the earth tower that had just spring from the ground to surround the group.
With the enemy in chaos, the enforcers did not hesitate to attack without fail. There were sounds of butterflies falling to the ground. The flapping sound was dying down but now there was a shaking on the tower. The remaining azure butterflies were sending countless water bolts at the tower\'s earth walls to break it and defeat the predators inside.
The group was not in a good situation. Walker knew that he needed to use his full attention to sculpt the earth and repair any damage as it happened. He could not let anything break in and try to harm them. The problem was that the water elemental attacks were eroding the earth that made up the tower. This meant that Walker could either start to freeze the water but risk the azure butterflies manipulating it or he could keep rebuilding the tower by pulling more earth in to it and risk the plants\' safety.
"I need you guys to start culling their numbers. This tower can\'t home forever without damaging the garden." This single shout from Walker made every single one of the enforcers push themselves harder. They did not want the hard work of the elven farmers to be thrown away. The fruits taken from these gardens were valuable sources of healing and food for their city.
"Walker, I am supporting everyone. What is the status of your mana." Walker had not been able to focus on what enforcers had been able to return to them. Thankfully Sierra had been among them and she had come to check on him while the others were doing their best to battle the azure butterflies.
"My mana is getting low. I am trying to replenish it but if I pull out a potion from my inventory I might not repair something damaged on the wall." Walker was breathing heavily while remaining focused on the task. He couldn\'t stop repairing the damage even for a second.
"Then I can assist you. I have a skill called mana reclaim. It has the temporary effect of pulling in the mana that dissipates when a skill is used. You will get half of your mana back from the air around you." Sierra reached out a hand and a strange light flowed over Walker.
He instantly felt the mana returning t him and could more easily repair the wall. "I forget that you are a form of healer. You think I would have that memorized by now." Walker had first seen her healing Wades\' arm when he was hurt in the battle with the massive minimized purple slime.
"I never told you my system. I am a user of the battle healer class. My skills focus on boosting my targets\' skills and debuffing my opponent. I also get some basic health and mana absorption skills." Sierra ran toward the window and performed the same skill on Gil and Su. Su had been blocking the attacks aimed at the window when Gil was preparing arrows.
Walker had been able to let out a stack of arrows from his inventory while he prepared earlier and Gil was quickly finishing them off. His speed had become much faster when firing arrows and Walker could only claim that it was the result of the new quiver. This was not the time to think of this though.
Onyx and Midnight were protecting Remey by covering her with their bodies. The two suddenly perked up as if they sensed something. Walker sensed the mana change as well a moment later. "Brother, something big is coming," Onyx Warned everyone and they all immediately stopped their actions.
Walker used his high earth sculpting skill to close the windows that everyone was attacking through, before a loud boom of lightning rang in the air. The entire tower shook and the flapping of azure butterflies came to silence. The only sound was a single pair of wings flapping kicking up a strong breeze.
"The tri tailed moth is here. I can sense the three different elemental manas outside. That attack did a lot of damage to my tower. I can\'t keep it up if it hits again." Walker could already feel the elemental mana gathering to create another lightning attack. All he could do was brace and hope that nothing got through.
