Chapter 1791 1791. Wind And Light

Remey's worries that she wouldn't be able to make an anti venom was enough to put Walker on edge himself. He was sure that the poison would be very hard to handle. What was keeping him on edge though was that he would need to think of a way to deal with the speed that the black jewel wasp had.

Whether it was using a skill that slowed it or not, he was sure that he would not have his key focus to use. As he had been thinking about the downsides of this cursed desert, Walker had realized just how much he relied on the water mana around him. Normally, he would freeze things and use ice a lot. His unintended focus on becoming a water mage had come to get him now.

The entire area he was in was already a downside for any water based system user. Yes, Walker could use the sand to attack but that would be useless against a sand giant or a beast that traveled through the sand. There was earth mana around to make the sand react and become tougher like stone or earth. However, that would not work either.

Earth mana was slower. That was a clear fact overall. But where it was focused on was the fact that Walker had to both condense the sand and also use the sand to attack. It was a slower process overall even if he used the fastest skill he had to attack using earth mana. Even Su was clearly struggling since she had been attempting to use her strength and her partner's strength to be able to move through the sand better.

That brought a whole new issue to Walker's attention. Their speed was naturally reduced. Even watching everyone move again proved this many times over. One step would cause the sand to shift and everyone to sink about an inch in to the softer top latter of sand. This caused them to move as if they were fighting in a loose snow. The same slowing effect as a winter terrain but with the chance that they could slowly fall in to the sand at any time as a dune collapsed. Normally an open field would not have that worry with snow, a mountain would though.

It was a bad experience overall. Worse even was the repercussions of using fire mana. If Walker focused on this, then he was battling monsters that had a naturally high heat resistance or ways to counter the heat. But that wasn't bad. He could make them run away by overheating them faster due to the powerful sun's rays. That would work in a way.

Another downside would be the effect on the others around him. Walker would cause the others to heat up as well by using the fire elemental mana naturally around him. Therefore, he would cause them to fail their travels due to dehydration at a faster pace. It was a very hard situation.

Mordant was struggling as well. The darkness mana that he knew would be around the ruins and at night was useless since it was the heat of the day. The sun stopped him from being able to use the darkness to the height of what he should be able to use. That left two manas available for him to rely on that he couldn't control. A powerful dragon weakened just like that.

Seeing that Walker had grasped these thoughts, Mordant made sure to keep the mana he had saved. He also trusted that Walker would take the roles he had with a grain of sand since it meant another dragon was basically useless until the day changed to night.

With only light and wind mana left as the best options, Walker started to change his ideas. He had never fused the two together before since he had never seen it done before. The wind mana was something that would always be around the light mana. They existed high in the sky all the way down to the weather. But why was it so rare?

The idea that it was because the wind moved through currents and the light traveled straight down made sense. There was no base for the two to naturally fuse often. Only during specific storms or specific situations would it happen. But that was not the main focus of what walkers Wanted to handle. He looked at Ventus and Rise so he thought he would get more information. "Are there any dual wind and light affinity dragons between your territories?"

The sudden question caught the two off guard. They had not expected that they would be hearing this from Walker or be able to answer such a question. It stumped them both before Rise seemed to recall something. "One existed before I was the royal dragon I am now. He was called the light storm dragon and preferred to live solitarily without many others."

"He could make rays of light bend with the wind and cause a storm of light and wind blades that caused a lot of damage and pain. It was dangerous for him to use his strength around others because the wind and light fusion breath attacks caused powerful light burns that were hard to heal and pierced through other dragon's scales. He was peaceful though. Little else was known about him before he passed away."

"I believe I heard such stories when I was young. I didn't think I would hear them again. I know that you and I have never attacked together to make our elemental manas mix. It has never been needed." Ventus seemed fairly confused about how she would manage this but Walker had his answer. The possibility was there.

"Wind and light will be the strongest elemental attacks we have against monsters while here. Flames are a risky double edged sword. I wanted to think about using the wind and light together to make sure that I am able to battle at a higher strength. I need to forget about using water and ice as I like to do." Walker made it clear to the two of them his thoughts.

Rise seemed to appreciate this more than normal. She would normally prefer not to be involved and want to be left alone to continue her absorption of light. She wanted to be stronger and now had an entire dedication to becoming a light dominator dragon. A powerful dragon that had not appeared for years upon years due to wars appearing in the Sigil continent.

"I believe that you should use them in a dual sense but not fuse them. If the records and stories of the fusion being unstable are true, you could harm yourself and our forces here. Focus on what you need to do but keep them separate unless in dire need." Rise gave honest advice.

"I agree, risks are there for everything else and you are removing the risks that would face all of us. No need to add yet another by experimenting. But if you do use it, allow my assistance if possible. Rise and I have the highest control of light and wind. Even the two grand elemental spirits may struggle to handle such a fusion right now.'' This was a very good point and Walker respected Ventus and Rise's opinions.

"I will try that instead. I can copy Alice and make light blades or follow what Gil does and see if I can make wind arrows or slashes. I can also use a sword to channel them." Waker was not happy to throw aside the ranged combat more than before. He had been accustomed to long ranged combat more and more as he relied on magic. The desert was truly beginning to push itself on his weaknesses and his current tendencies.

The two seemed to agree and went back to their own thoughts. This left Walker to put himself in a new mind set. A wind and light dual casting mage. Someone that could attack with both. Not only would this mean that he would have to toss aside some of his habits that use earth and water, but it meant he needed a better outlook.

That was what took his mind to the wind dragonkin and the Rise angels who could use light as their abilities in battles. The two could give Walker valuable knowledge when he attempted to use the two elemental manas. Especially since each of the angels that came with the light affinity had been using swords. It appeared that they had the same system and were chosen as such. It hid some information from the opposite empire but also made sure that they would be a cohesive team. The perfect group for Walker to learn from. Also, the perfect way for him to learn skills from a specific system and potentially make them his own through alteration.
