"Seriously, you three go ahead and leave us to guard the herds, and merchants and the next thing we heard is lightning all around us. My ears are still ringing!" Remey was not as angry and she made it seem when it came to her staying back. She was really more than happy to be guarding the merchants. However, she was a little annoyed that she had missed such an impressive sounding skill. 

"Brother, sister and I want to see your new skill when it is safe to do so. Sister says that it hurt her ears from here." Onyx and Midnight were together as always and came to greet Walker. 

"Sorry about your ears. I had no idea that would happen. I will prepare ear plugs for the next time we use it. That means we will rely on you, Onyx, for communication." 

"Of course, I will help whenever I can." Onyx was eager to continue this role in the party. It made him feel that he belonged and that he was holding everyone together in his own way. He had started to forget the feeling of being weak after his growth spurt and had realized that he could fight when needed but his specialty was in supporting the party in communication. 

"I went all the way ahead and only found a few pieces of orc fingers and some soft dirt. Are you sure some god didn\'t come down from the sky and help you with an insane magic skill?\' Herder was having a tough time grasping the fact that Walker had actually slain the goblins with Su and Gil. 

"I promise that if you stick with us for a little longer you will see something that will shock you again." Walker couldn\'t hold back his laughter any longer. He felt bad for Herder who was trying to understand what had happened. 

"Su, do you want to take the lead with me? I am going to do the same with the luring orb until we get to the next intersection in the trail. From there we will part ways with the cattle and the merchants. We will rest there for the night though. It will take all day to get there." 

"Yes, I will walk ahead of you." Su was accep[ting of this since she saw that Walker had a familiar look on his face. "What do you want to test?" She knew already that Walker was looking to try pout another magical skill before they rested for the day. 

"Was I that obvious?" Walker had thought he made it look like he was trying to keep everyone moving safely. But instead, it appeared Su had seen right through him. 

"We will stay back here. I will also keep an eye out like before." Gil motioned for Remey, Midnight, and Onyx to spread out again. He also held an arrow at the ready since he was a little on edge after the last batch of orcs. 

Su and Walker took the lead while still staying in sight of Gil. "You know how I was going to use the moldable crystal ball and a twin blitz sword along with the lightning sword play skill? I want to see if we come across a single orc so I can test out the effect of the darkness and light elemental mana in the blade of night and day skill. If it defeats the orcs faster it may be a better strategy than before." 

Walker was mainly looking to conserve mana since he had used a lot and it would take a little time for it to replenish. "I understand. Will you be using any other skill you gained recently?\' Su was a little worried that Walker would push himself too far. The party knew of the skill from the demonic system which he had held back from telling the rulers to avoid additional stress. 

"I might try to utilize the slash zone skill but to be honest I think it will be another drain on mana that I do not need. I want to use that skill when we meet a large number of enemies." Walker was sure that the skill would be a hidden ace for him. 

He had stocked up on a few skills he would not use unless absolutely necessary. Some because they would cost too much mana and others due to their danger. But this one was a skill he could use and sock an opponent while in battle without completely incapacitating himself after. He also lacked a full understanding of how the skill fit in to his current style and didn\'t want to risk too much by using it constantly. 

"I think that is wise. We should avoid testing too much though." Su said this because she could hear some cracking tigs from the bushes already. It was clear that the orcs in the area were still not completely cleaned up. "I believe you should release the orb you created" 

Walker followed Su\'s advice so he could go one on one with the approaching orc and not attract another. He pulled the moldable crustal ball from his inventory and influence its shape in to that of a sword. It was a mirror image of the twin blitz sword. 

The orc stepped in to the open revealing that it had also been struck with a ballista bolt in the arm. It was already weakened which helped Walker greatly.
