"You are looking for us?" the Rize empire angels all looked like they were expecting a harsh word or two. Not many people had been speaking with them since they joined. This was mostly because of the problems that came with being stopped while they were crossing the hoarder.

This wasn\'t that bad of a problem though. Most of the soldiers would just need some time to open up to the newer soldiers from the Rize empire that they had never seen before. It was expected that they would be starting over and that the events Genesis had helped with had not become large enough gossip yet. Especially since the archangels and their higher authorities had not yet done much but wait for information.

Once the angels that were ranked higher than the archangels came to speak with the royal dragons then things would truly move forward. But since they didn\'t and instead stayed within their cities, it was fine. Walker knew very well that the royal dragons and his party could at least move freely without much issues. Even the border stoppage had been for a moment and nothing more.

"I was looking at you and your systems. You are all some form of light swordsmen I assume?" Walker saw that there were some of the angels that appeared worried. But that was fine. He wasn\'t going to force them out of any information. He planned to explain himself.

"I can learn many skills from many systems. Light and wind are the best elemental manas to use here. I plan to learn from you and the wind mages what I can as we move through this. It will make things harder since it is so hot and I should focus on the water in the mud covering but that will be fine. I will treat it as training for my fire resistance. It\'s already high from forging but I can always get better, you know?"

The casual words and show that he was looking to improve to help them all out made the angels relax a bit. But when one of them stepped forward, Walker could tell he was the leader of their group. "I am the head of the white sword wings. We are the flying light swordsman group ten. We were sent because we are normally patrolling the border you crossed. What is it you would like to know?"

Seeing that there was a head of the angel\'s group sent by the Rize empire helped a lot. It also took pressure from the others who were less likely to speak out because of their positions. Not to mention the clear fact that the leader had some sort of order pertaining to them. Most likely to build better relationships where they could since the two empires were still vying for attention from Genesis and to take a step ahead of the other empire. An annoying but useful situation.

"I would mostly like to know what light attacks you can use. I can already use a sword to use a light slash skill or a thrown blade skill. I can even make a sword with light if I really want. But I believe you may have skills I have never seen. Especially since we have never had a flying light swordsman system user that I know of in Genesis. But we are still growing." Walker was glad to hear of the new system. The angels were sure to have many more unique systems like this.

"We have seen the light sword skills. There are the magic swordsman system users that can conjure living light swords as their temporary partners. That is a very unique magic swordsman skill that seems to make them more like summoners than anything." The small bit of information from the head of the angels made Walker wonder just what he had seen when it came to magic swordsman.

The thing was, that Walker hadn\'t asked about this. But he realized that the angel was inferring that Walker could summon beings from other planes of existence too. Unfritnaly, Walker caught on and shook his head no. "ah, I see. Well, we can not do such things either but it is a very revered skill in the light elemental hall. We have other skills though."

The angel was walking and suddenly started to grow brighter. Specifically around his skin and armor. The sword on his hip focused light as well. "This is called light boost. It is our method of using light to make us stronger overall. We can take ambient light to better move ourselves on battle to a degree. It\'s almost like letting the light give us a platform to stand on."

As if to demonstrate, the angel showed that he was better able to move through the sand. Small layers of light seemed to form around his feet as he did. "Our skills work well together so these light steps allow us to move at an increased pace while using the light boost. It works with our wings too. Winged light shield. That is." The light gathered on the angel\'s wings and he wrapped himself as he landed on the ground.

The thicker light around the wings made it clear that attacks would have to break through the shield of light before anything could attack him. The three skills all needed each other to work better. It was a very interesting way to battle but a clear one that didn\'t waste the gathered light mana.

"And for attacking, we will use light to cause damage." This was what Walker wanted to see, he had originally thought that they would focus the light on their blades to make a sharper more damaging edge. However, Walker had been a little wrong.

The light did gather on the blade but it seemed to be two separate layers. The two layers of light seemed to be moving very quickly against each other causing an odd smell around the blade. When it touched the sand, the light caused the sand to begin to melt. It also seemed to make things meld together in unnatural ways.

"This is called light vibration. It is similar to metals vibrating together. But it causes fire elemental mana to be attracted that causes melting. But it also mixes healing a little and causes living things to be forcefully grown in a bad way. We are still studying the skill more in depth but that information is held by our leaders. The more advanced winged light swordsman."

As much as Walker was impressed by the odd damage the sand had taken, he was more interested by the fact that the sword could somehow manage to cause damage through healing. But that made sense. Those that healed improperly could be left with bones mended in the wrong place. If it was similar and too much mana was used in a healing spell, there could be negative effects. That was why healing magic was never used to grow plants, there was always a negative effect.

But that was all beside the point, Walker wanted to see what else he could do with this theory. "I can make light blades that go against one another. Literally making light scrape against itself. What if it were to collide?"

"That is a very tough question. Those that forced the light to close caused bursts of light that sends small shattered bits of it through their bodies. They had a long and hard healing process. It was thought that they used too much mana as well. Lack of control in this skill causes self and area damage."

Leaving this thought, the angel realized that they had started to fall behind while speaking. He pushed the others to make a move while Walker clearly fell in to thought. It was the answers that Walker had been after.

The things on Walker\'s mind came down to what light was and how it could easily attract certain manas. It made sense that it would cause issues for people because of the fire mana attraction. But at the same time, the idea that it would shatter and pierce the body causing odd damage and healing struck him. It meant that light might be radically more complicated than he had ever realized.

It also raised the question of monsters like Onyx that could feed on and absorb light elemental mana. If Onyx came in to contact with such a skill that caused this damage, would he be harmed or would it be the same as getting a highly concentrated boost of mana? That was a dangerous thought alone. Mostly because overloading on any mana caused issues. Especially one that someone had an affinity with. There were limits. These limits protected people. Therefore, Walker needed to put some major thought in to this before he pursued this method of attack.
