Calm was the last thing that could be used to describe the changes around everyone as they went to battle. The royal dragons immediately began their movements toward their enemies. Current was the most prominent since he was able to find the water elemental mana in the royal mummies. They were like beacons for him in this dry environment. 

The massive changes that everyone saw instantly when Current acted proved why a water elemental dragon or anyone with higher control of water elemental mana was incredibly dangerous. 

While most people would never use their skills to harm the cores of someone\'s being, Current could care less about the undead. With a single burst of water elemental mana controlling a small stream of water, he pierced every single royal mummy. 

The results were enough to stun everyone. The moisture that had long been in these undead royal mummies\' bodies was instantly stolen away. However, the results were still not enough to make them fall. It just caused them to reduce in size slightly. A debuff that stopped them from being as strong as they should be. 

Furthermore, there was a clear stoppage when it came to Current\'s strength. He felt that the remaining water mana had instantly become covered in darkness mana that prevented him from taking full control and robbing all the water from the royal mummies\' bodies. It had been an instantaneous reaction from the mummified pharaoh. Proof that it was able to match his strength in many ways. 

With the decrease in strength evident, Alice and Su were able to make their moves with Rise backing them. The light elemental mana from Rise further pushed the song of swords to attack the royal mummies. Every time that the royal mummies even attempted to dodge or step forward, Su would be there. 

The twin shields were like a rotating barrier against the royal mummies. Her movements were adept and able to constantly leave small shield bashes that pushed them back. Even with their larger size than Su, it was Su\'s strength and ability that gave her the edge. She had spent a lot of time learning to use her shields in a defensive manner, but even more time beginning to learn how to make them an offensive skill above others. 

The further addition of light elemental mana within Su\'s shield skills was proof that she had grown more than met the eye. Normally, Su\'s light shield skill would be used when she slammed her shields together to block a larger attack. Yet, when Walker glanced over to Su, he saw that a smaller light shield had covered both of the twin shields. Every attack was doing more than just pushing the royal mummies away from Alice and Rise. It was helping  Su remain strong without any damage. 

But furthermore, Walker saw that the light we being to become manipulated. This wasn\'t Su8, but it was Alice! She was somehow managing to sing two songs at once. The two light elemental swords floating in the air and slashing at the royal mummies was expected with her song of swords. What was unexpected was the unknown song that seemed to overlap with the song of swords. 

It took Walker a few thoughts to figure out where he had heard of this before. But from what he understood, this was a skill called rounds. A musical skill that many who sang, played instruments, or wrote songs knew. It would let a secondary or more musical piece begin slightly after the first. It could build up an entire set of powerful effects. This skill was used by the older musicians to play healing songs in the cathedral. 

While taxing, Alice was using it by herself without another person with her. That meant that she was holding double the burden when it came to mental strength and mana usage. A terrible pressure that would make it hard on anyone if they attempted it casually let alone in battle. 

The results of the second skill were clear though. Small spikes of light had appeared on Su\'s light shield skill causing those royal mummies that were attacked to gain holes made by light elemental mana on their bodies. It was an effective attack boost that pushed the undead away and kept them in line. It also made the three of them more dangerous, therefore, it took more focus from the mummified pharaoh. 

Looking even deeper in to this, Walker could have learned a little more about how to use light elemental ana. Rise was boosting all of this and providing potent light elemental mana while also adding small concentrated light elemental breath attacks. But the issue with focusing on this battle was distraction. If Walker did not maintain his focus he would be lost to the battle around him and in front of him. 

the partially mummified dragon was approaching them. The put together half of its body made of bone pieces, made it clear to everyone that it was not strong at all. The only strength that seemed to hold it together were the dragon bones and the fact that the wrappings on its body were toughened by some unknown process. 

The darkness mana that it absorbed also seemed to be more condensed. That was the issue with the runes. Yet, when it came to runes, Walker and Mordant had already noticed a slight change. Even if it was the smallest of changes, it was a change. The runes were pulsing a tiny bit slower than they were before. 

This had to be the work of the soldiers below. They were able to grasp some knowledge from the system\'s reward earlier. Furthermore, they were able to destroy more important false death runes here and there. It naturally would have an effect on the runes here. The mana that flowed at the very top of the massive pyramid. All the mana in the city was being drawn to it, therefore, damaging the runes was important. 

Ventus and Ignus were also to thank for this. They were destroying the undead and the runes all over the city. Their strength was enough to make a major difference in the flow of mana. The longer that all of them worked like this, the faster that the runes would show weaker pulses and mana would flow slower. 

Because of this, Walker could feel he had been able to grasp a little more control over all the manas around him. Especially the natural mana that he was using to begin attacking. He had to boost his movements and prepare for Remey to get close for a defense breaking punch attack. Therefore, Walker looked at the skill he had just gained after the last part of the chain quest. 

Nature\'s aura- passive

The flow of natural mana and nature is a very strong thing in the world. It is guided by the world in mysterious ways while in other ways, it follows its own flow. The natural mana around the user will become more easily manipulated as it is attracted at a faster rate toward the user. It is also able to better return other elemental manas to the flow of mana that should be in the world when natural mana is used to attack or purify broken flows..\'

The natural mana that Walker felt around and within him was easily pulled from the air to be used. Walker changed the elemental mana in to a staff form knowing that he will be better off playing a mage role in this battle. He had to make sure he held more and more of the attention when it came to fighting the mummified pharaoh. That was what he could do with his control of the natural mana which was clearly deadly to the undead here. 

Gil was similar though. While he fired arrows trying to cause damage to the partially mummified dragon, he also mentally prepared himself to use more mana than he should with the high elven dagger technique. He understood that it could damage the royal mummies, partially mummified dragon, and the mummified pharaoh more deeply than his other attacks. 

This also brought to mind the fact that ending this battle would greatly rely on natural mana. That was why midnight was moving right alongside Remey to keep the pressure on as attacking the mummified pharaoh would be more important than other things. 

This was not missed by Mordant, he could feel that the air changed around them too. His eyes were still focused on the dragon, but he also let himself feel the movements around him. The fact that Walker was starting to run ahead with Midnight and Remey ahead of him meant that they were going to attack. Since Gil was the only one with him battling the full force of the partially mummified dragon, then it meant he had to use a lot more strength. He had to call on his own partner. 

When the burst of powerful darkness mana came out, everyone knew it to be Mordant and the grand darkness elemental spirit making a move too. Powerful control of multiple elemental manas all at once would definitely cause more chaos to the mummified pharaoh\'s attempts to defend itself.
