Master Of None

The onlookers did not expect an elder dragon to be diving from the sky. However, Walker knew exactly what was going on. The water elemental mana that had gathered and focused in Adair's maw was enough to tell him what would happen. "Get down now!" The warning was loud enough that no one dared disobey. 

The concentrated mana left Adair's mouth as soon as she neared the water. The small kraken spawn had sensed her and tried shooting beams of water at her. Yet they fell short as she used her powerful wings to arc back up in to the air. 

The breath attack hit the water and the reaction was instantaneous. The water began to bend and fluctuate causing sharp currents and spikes of water to dance around. The kraken spawn within the water were viciously torn to pieces while whirlpools formed. A simple breath attack had sent the entire bay in to turmoil and caused many of the kraken spawn to be defeated. 

This was not the end. Once the waters appeared to be losing their ferocious fluctuations the long range attackers started again. "Onyx, see what you can do with your new light spike skills." Walker knew that Onyx was waiting for Walker to give him permission to use the skill. The light spike sent in to the water would be a great way to illuminate any surviving kraken spawn. 

"I will sing too." Alice did not wait for Walker's confirmation to begin her song of swords. She wanted to make the best of the situation. Walker had used his multi buff skill earlier which put everyone a little ahead. Now that Alice was actually attacking she was going to make the best. She had already been gaining experience since she had received a quest for slaying kraken and healing others. Yet, this was nothing compared to the experience she was gaining now. 

Alice had helped to heal many people before thins. A lot of them had joined the battle so that they could take back their town. This connection was considered as part of Alice's contribution to the fight the same way as the party would receive experience that was split between them since they worked together. Therefore, the fact that she had been able to drink the remaining experience potion Walker had given her before was all the more valuable. 

There was intense determination in her eyes as she matched Onyx and let blades of light fall with her song. The growing experience she was gaining along with the light elemental runes on her armor and clothes worked to make the entire environment denser with light elemental mana. This further helped Onyx attack. 

The dragonkin warriors were using their skills to throw ice javelins that the water mages had created. They were sharp enough to pierce through the soft skin of the kraken spawn and the speed at which they were thrown often caused them to pierce multiple kraken spawn. 

The most impressive show was actually from Gil. He had realized that the kraken spawn were trying to use their ink to blind them but he had acted quickly. The seafoam arrows he had made were being fired at a rapid pace. The foam caught the ink before it was able to dye the water or be shot in to the air to blind anyone. The avoidance of this problem was enough to give the extermination a leap ahead. 

"All golems forward march! All Kraken spawn within this area must be destroyed and extracted!" The golems that had been at the edge of the water began their march in to the water. It was a sight, to say the least as their hands had been exchanged with bladed axes and some spears. The kraken spawn remaining had no chance as the golems entered. Every few moments there would be a shift in the water showing the defeat of another spawn. 

The merfolk that were above the water entered aw well and the speed at which the bay was cleared only increased. The long ranged attacks were left to the enforcers and Gil who were better shots so they could avoid the damage that could come to those in the water. The water mages started to cast spells on those that wanted to enter. One of which was a water breathing spell and the other a swimming speed spell. 

However, with the sheer amount of concentrated attacks, there was no need for anyone else to enter the water. Walker was soon watching as body after body was taken from the water. The merchants were not even cheering. Their job was not fone. They had made the deal that they would be processing the kraken meat and use it to rebuild the city after its sale. 

"Walker, can you help me get Alma to a bed?" Su came back with Alma and the enforcers that had gone with them. She had rushed as fast as possible to meet them and was met by Gil in just a few moments. 

Out of the sky came another water elemental dragon which slowed itself and changed its form in midair. Midnight watched carefully as Ciel landed with a soft step. "My lord sends me to notify you. We have sighted the mother kraken offshore. She has caught an electrified eel. The bay attack did not draw her in. But she is distracted for some time giving us the time to prepare and enter the water. We will be ready in one hour." 

"I will notify the otters. The merfolk will be guiding us. The path is simple and we will be ready. Tell Adair that it is good to see her again. I will be sure to look for her in the royal court in the future." Walker was not sure if he would have the time to speak to Adair and wanted the message passed on before they were back in battle.
