Chapter 1256 1256. Train While Walking
"We didn\'t make it as far yesterday, but that\'s not a problem. Today we will make it to the ravine and Alice won\'t even need to sing. We can take the slower ride to prepare ourselves and relax." Onyx was sure this was the best course of action. He knew that Alice would be better off well rested for their journey in to the ravine where the light elemental mana would be scarce. He also knew that Walker and the others were thinking or stretching their legs to walk about and train slightly. They all had their own goals and should have the freedom to work on it if it made them better prepared to take on the mysteries underground.
"I like that idea. I\'m getting out of this cramped thing!" Remey had personally hated the carriage. She liked being a little lazy in the beginning, but after the second day, she had lost her patience. She wanted to move and burn off more energy. The starlight crickets had been nothing to them and they had not encountered another monster at all. Gil had spotted some but they had rushed away when they saw the carriage and smelled Midnight.
Gil decided to hop out right behind Remey. He had decided to try to work on his dagger skills. The movements that made up the water elf technique were tough to keep up long term so moving in that way would best help him improve. He also needed to start incorporating the forest elf dagger techniques here. "Wait, are you just going to be trying to punch rocks and break them?" Gil watched as Remey wound up to strike a rock on the ground nearby.
"How else am I going to learn to use my defense breaking palm and elemental fist together? I have to make a defense breaking elemental fist. It\'s not easy. I need to punch something solid with my knuckles." The response was a little more sarcastic than Gil liked but he couldn\'t argue it. Instead, he watched the poor rock gain a small dent. Remey had used the earth affinity knuckle to gather earth elemental mana and smash in to the rock. However, it was far from the defense breaking palms effects. There was no in depth damage that showed through the sturdy rock.
"Hm, if you could use that against me I would be able to improve. Let me know when you have progress. I will see if I can get some disposable metal shields to try and use my light shield to defend. Until then I will focus on understanding the elemental mana around. I need to catch up." The simple goal that Su had was still to catch up to Walker and Midnight. They had a much better understanding of elemental mana meaning that they would be able to use it better. Su was a draconic guardian. She needed to be able to use the same elemental manas as Midnight and Walker. She had to get closer to using natural mana related skills.
"Alice, what are you planning to do?" Walker looked at Alice and found that she had started to scribble away in her journal. She was testing out small humming sounds to see if her songs would work. Walker knew that he would have absolutely zero attention from Alice. He would just need to wait and see what new song she thought up to show off her skills. The focus she had did inspire him though. He had said he would work on his earth sculpting skill and he wanted to do just that. In particular, he wanted to try and combine two skills.
Midnight had jumped from the carriage as well and carefully watched Walker. She wanted to see what he was doing. In this, she had attracted Fleur who decided to rest on top of her head and watch Walker too. She felt that Walker was going to be using his own skills and mana so that she could create what he wanted to create.
"If I create a flame doll, then the fire takes the shape I want it to." He established this under his breath. He knew this and could manipulate it. Therefore, he could give it orders so that the flame doll could train others and even defend against enemies. "My earth sculpting skill lets me create earth and even shape it better. I\'ve made training dummies that can fall away in to just dirt." Talking himself through his ideas was not always his approach. Walker would normally just feel it, yet, at this moment, he wanted to ensure that his thoughts were parallel to his desired effect and how he would best combine the earth and fire elemental mana. He could easily do so, but not in the proper manner at an instant.
The ground around him was soft and a little rocky. These were fields that had never been plowed or combed. Therefore, he would need to be able to manipulate the rocks and the soil to bond with the fire elemental mana. His first goal was to manipulate some while removing the water elemental mana from it. "Without water in the soil, the fire won\'t resist too much. It should bond with the earth better." There was a slight steam that came around them while Walker did this. The water had to evaporate somewhere and was soon blown away by the wind. "Hm, no air either. If I have too much it will be flames and lose heat. The fire will just leave burnt earth." The wind had helped him realize that he could not leave pockets of air within what he was going to create. Walker was going to take it all in to account without failure.
