Master Of None

Walker was not happy to see that Greed was using mana and skills from those that had been hurt by the curse. When Greed pulled back his fist and made the stones from around it he knew that this was another skill he had stolen away. It was even worse when Greed stepped in to the air and dropped from a higher position to try and hit him. 

It was easy for Walker to use the dance of seasons second act the dance of spring to dodge. The enhanced agility he had while using it was enough to keep him well ahead of Greed's attacks. But that was not all that Walker was doing. 

He had been using the spear with the natural mana within it to defend from some of Greed's attacks. Walker was mostly using it to deflect the fists that Greed threw at him. But the small scratches that Walker left on greed were not healing no matter how much Greed pulled at the energy around him. 

"What are you dodging to my body! This is mine! You can not break what is mine! My perfect collection can not be ruined!" Greed was pushed in to his madness even more after Walker had hit him again with a slash. The natural mana was blocking some of Greed's curse and causing the mana within Greed to become unstable. 

This caused more of Greed's attacks to fail and him to fall deeper in to madness. The mumbling of angry comments increased. Suddenly a red mist seemed to come around Greed's muscles. He had used an ability called berserk body to double his strength. That was when Walker did his best to speed up his rune making process. 

Fleur was still in the spirit mark but she was working with Walker to create the natural sealing arts rune. The mana gathered on Walker's back and was floating above the spirit mark so it was well hidden. Walker knew that the moment that he was able to control the mark and move it to his hand that he would need to approach Greed. That was why he had been dodging and angering Greed. He would easily be able to lure Greed in to touch him with the spirit mark. 

"That poor quality elf was the last one to give me so much trouble. He wasn't even worth having in my collection. It was a worthless trophy. I left that thing to rot, I wouldn't want a broken toy like that. My collection will only have the best. That's why you don't belong in it. I can't have a toy breaking my other possessions!" Greed roared and charged at Walker. It was easy for Walker to dodge this attack. 

However, the building that greed hit was nearly destroyed. The entire wall fell to the ground and crumbled further beneath Greed's feet. When Greed emerged again, Walker could see people collapsed inside the building. They had been preparing a small shop when they were afflicted with greed's curse. 

"Come on over here! Or I will make you break something else! What a poor and pathetic collection." Walker's mocking tine was enough to make Greed charge again. The white and black eyes had become red with fury. Greed was showing anger on par with wrath's annoyed mood. 

Fleur suddenly left the spirit mark and fused in to the eternal orb spear form. It began to change in Walker's hand to a shield form similar to Su's earth dwelling shield. Walker felt that she had done all she could for the natural sealing arts rune. He had to keep going himself. 

Manipulating the natural mana while fighting was much tougher than Walker knew it would be. But he was making progress. There were rune shapes forming out of pure elemental mana. The rainbow shapes seemed to change and twist showing the elemental mana s coming together. It was a balance that Walker knew well. 

"Bring it on! I will break everything in your worthless collection!" 

"Worthless!? How dare you, weak human child!" Greed clenched his teeth and Walker swore he saw some cracking. The next move wasn't the same charging attack as before. It was a large leap toward Walker. But that was exactly what he needed. 

The shield was lowered and Greed hit it full force. Walker let himself slide backwards and he used his other hand to pull the natural mana forward. The rune that he and Fleur had been creating surged and show brilliantly in his palm. When Greed felt this he attempted to stop the large amount of forward momentum. 

Greed was too late though. Walker pressed his palm to greed's chest and poured all of the natural mana and his own mana in to the rune. The world seemed to stop as Greed began to deflate. The mana and energy he had stolen was pulled from his body and rushed away into the air. His body shrank in to a bony and sickly looking demon. Walker knew that this was the true face of Greed. 

The next thing that happened was a surprise. Roots rose from under the stones and wrapped Grees' feet. He was already trying to scratch them away as Walker backed away. The roots seemed to be taking even more from greed and his body was turning a pale grey color instead of white. 

"No! It's all mine. This is my collection. No one else's. Miii-" Greed failed to be able to move any longer. He had been frozen in his scream. Small vines grew from the ground and covered the statue body he now had. The rune glowed brilliantly on Greed's stone chests. The mana would pulse slightly as it was taken and returned to Greed in an endless loop. Greed could not use his curse and he could not release his own natural mana. He was sealed away forever.
