Chapter 1420 1420. High Wind Affinity

"Zephyr, I understand that you are tired and can't really do much. So I came to the wind elemental floor of the mage tower. I will do my best to understand the wind here and try to learn what I can." Gil had also brought along some of the books that revolve around the desert elf style of dagger arts. He wanted to work on both that and absorbing wind elemental mana.

The main goal was to improve Zephyr's strength since she had made a huge commitment to making Gil her avatar. That alone had used a major amount of her wind elemental mana. It also had made Gil much closer to the wind than he had been before.

"I'll solidify my strength. I know my body is different. I can already see the spirit mark is different too." Gil couldn't help but speak out loud. He wanted to ensure that Zephyr knew what he was focusing on and trying to understand.

"If I can't change the way I see my own body, then how will I learn what I can really do? I always look in a mirror or base what I can do on what skills I have. I need to think about what I could be capable of and what the wind affinity I have really means."

From the way Gil felt, he knew that his affinity for wind elemental mana and radically increased. Instead of the basic affinity that he had before, he was sure that he could influence wind much more. It also would affect how he created other elemental arrows. If he was trying to influence the earth elemental mana to create an arrow, it may be more challenging.

"I can still feel the mana around me. It's like a second skin now." The small bits of wind that moved around Gil constantly were becoming unnoticeable to him. It was just another part of his body and living with it constantly would make it even clearer as such.

"So what if I try to move it?" The idea was simple. Influence the wind that was naturally flowing around his body to become stronger or weaker. Since he was on the wind floor of the mage tower, there was a higher chance of success.

The mana that Gil pulled at using his mind was very minimal. If he could describe it, he would say he was trying to break steel chains with one finger. Something that seemed all too impossible. However, he felt that when he moved his body he was able to make the wind elemental mana wrapping around him change.

This was a small thing to notice since he was causally pacing about the room. Yet, he noticed it. Just doing so was enough for him to combine his mental goals with his physical movement. "Alright, I move around while using dagger arts anyways, so if I try to manipulate the wind while I do that…"

Pulling his dagger out, Gil started to move through the motions of the desert elf dagger arts. He was sure that it was a purely wind elemental technique that has gained some earth effects due to the simple fact that they were in a desert. On top of that, he could get down to the core of their foundations to find out if they could be easily learned.

Just as Gil started to move, he felt that the wind elemental mana around him tried to flow with his body. The wind elemental mana on the wind elemental floor would normally move freely. It was wind, it didn't need a controlled flow. When Gil moved, it gave it a path to flow in to. Therefore, he found that his slashes carried a breeze with them.

The larger the move that Gil made, the more wind followed him. He was creating and guiding the flow of wind around him. Adding this to his understanding of how the elemental swordsman worked in the forest elf city, Gil felt that he could do more with the wind than he had expected.

"Why did I never try to add the elemental mana of the dagger techniques in to the attacks I was mocking!" He felt like a fool. Gil had missed a major reason why the different elemental dagger techniques would be divided in to elemental variations that came together in to high elf dagger techniques.

After mentally kicking himself for a few moments, Gil caught on to the feeling of the wind elemental mana flowing in to his body faster. With his movements and changing the flow of the wind elemental mana, he had changed the speed at which the mana entered the spirit mark. "Good to know you are liking this too. Let's see what else I can do."

More and more Gil's movements became sharper. He even started to try and incorporate the other dagger arts he had learned in to how he moved. The inspiration that he might need to picture and try to manipulate other elemental mana seemed to be the key that had been missing. Now all he needed was to find other dagger arts of other elemental affinities. He couldn't just focus on the wind.

"I can definitely do this." Gil slashed out and watched a gust of wind leave his dagger. He felt the wind move from his entire body, condense, then fly ahead of him. It was not powerful by any means, nor could it help him in battle right now. But, it was the start of a new path of strength.

"I wonder what Walker will say when he finds out I have a main wind elemental affinity yet can still use the other elemental manas to practice dagger arts AND make arrows." Gil could only laugh at the expression he knew Walker would make. He knew that Zephyr would find it funny too.
