Master Of None



Watching a dragon tear apart a monster that everyone had deemed as impossible to beat was enough to make most people wonder just where they stood in the world. However, watching Ignus let his pent up anger out on a monster he was annoyed at for just a second was more terrifying than that. 

Even the other royal dragons were looking at Ignus and reminding themselves why they no longer fought. Why dragons had taken major lengths not to start wars between themselves and their territories. Especially against fire dragons since their anger would make a fight go on much longer. 

This was highlighted in the fact that the massive saw toothed sandworm adult had been brought to pieces in less than five minutes. It was also still burning in certain spots of its broken body. Many might even have nightmares after seeing this fight. But what surprised Walker were the Fel angels. 

They had stopped their awestruck looks and shock after just three minutes. Now they were furiously writing what they were witnessing for the first time in their lives. For some of them, it appeared that they were seeing the newest and greatest thing since they had begun keeping notes. Yet, Walker understood. 

Whenever he heard of something new he was stuck on it too. A dragon to the Fel angels and the Rize angels was the very same, if not more. They all saw a powerful being that they had never expected to see in their lives. This was even more apparent when it came to the weakness that wyverns and massive saw toothed sandworms appeared to be by comparison. The two powerful monsters of their empires were reduced to nothing now. 

"I feel better now. Walker, you can take that and use it as you wish. I am sure it will be decent for someone to craft with." Ignus changed forms while flames burned off the blood from his battle. He looked much happier and more calm than before. Especially since he and his dragonkin were finally moving forward without any worry. 

The showing of strength had done more than just show the marching army what a dragon could do. It had sent an aura of power throughout the area. Any monster that had been near had heard the roars and the battle. It was only natural for them to remain buried in the sands much deeper than normal. No matter what the monster was, they understood they should avoid the more powerful monsters to keep their lives intact. 

"I would like to ask for some parts as research material. We can make a deal later." Ethan was being pushed by multiple angels and did not hesitate to make sure that he spoke up. Walker just nodded since he really didn't have much else to say. He had a mess to handle. 

The skin and shredded flesh of the saw toothed sandworm was major. Walker was not sure how he would store it all since there was just too much. He had never stored so much before. But as he began using the skill pierce by piece, the other soldiers moved to bring things to him. Soon the fire dragonkin returned and started to help. It appeared Ignus had realized he caused them to be stopped for a decent bit longer now. 

As Walker stored more and more parts, he started to notice that the body of the adult saw toothed sand worm was even more developed than he imagined. The stomach alone had large sharp rockers and chunks of ore within it. These had gathered through years and years making them valuable but also purified by the stomach acid of the sand worm. It was worthy enough to be held for the wandering blacksmith as rare materials for his experiments or general forging. Especially since Walker had promised good materials already. 

Even more so were the pieces of crystals that were being pulled out by some of the soldiers. It appeared that this adult saw toothed sandworm was exceeding everything that the Fel angels believed should be within the stomach of a sandworm. 

'Ancient rune shard

This is a shard of rune carved rocks. It was broken off of an ancient temple when monsters swarmed the area. Once part of a small temple town made by an ancient race that fell in to madness due to fanatical worship of undead. The runes were an attempt to create a portal to a world of the dead but failed due to weak knowledge and control.'

It was just a single all around appraisal on a rock that appeared odd. But compared to the ores and mana crystals, this was shocking. Walker dropped what he had been holding and grabbed the ancient rune shard to look at it better. 

The small black carving was definitely a corner of a rune. But Walker had not seen the shape before. If he could see more of it he might be able to make out what kind of rune it was or get even more information. However, his clearly stunned expression caught the attention of Mordant who was already keeping a very close eye on what might be going on in general. 

It was hard for Walker to notice that Mordant was walking over to him. "It's a shard of a rune carved stone. It's ancient and the all around appraisal said it was from a town of worshippers that went mad. They failed some attempt to connect to an undead world. I have no idea if that's a real place or just crazy. But that's not good." 

Mordant was silent for a few moments before he looked at Walker carefully, his mind had clearly absorbed what Walker had just told him. "Now we know it was not a large city and the entire desert was not some massive ruin or will ever be. It means that something came here to make something and they failed. Now we are seeing whatever is left of that now that the desert isn't covering the secrets anymore." 

The idea that the desert had been covering the ruins intentionally made Walker's gut tighten. The theory seems too good. Too right. But that was just it, a theory without all the puzzle pieces. It actually made things harder to wrap their minds around since it was another factor. Another part of the history that might have caused multiple problems. 

"I will see what else we can find here. But the towers mentioned might just be ancient road markers to this town. That would make more sense. The Fel angels said they were hollow as far as they could explore." Walker believed this was the right idea now. 

"Following a river has been the smart move for many races. I wouldn't assume ancient races were much different. Even us dragons have followed rivers and such." Mordant believes what Walker had thought of. Making a marker for where water would be made a lot of sense. Especially since the two of them would be able to prove some of this if they went to these ancient towers. 

'The skill advanced spatial storage has been taken from the spatial merchant system. The skill advanced spatial storage has been automatically learned due to the constant and continued usage of the spatial storage skill. 

Advanced spatial storage- 0 mana cost (depends on usage and grown affinity to spacial mana)

This is the advanced spatial storage skill that can only be learned through constant exposure, usage, and bonding with spatial mana, anyone can gain a spatial storage skill. Mainly unique beings will naturally learn them at birth or specific system users can learn them. 

This skill can store massive amounts of living things such as plants, non living things, and general items. They will be frozen in time as they are and will also be unharmed without any contact with one another. Some have even found ways to store mana filled items that remain mana filled within this advanced storage.'

There was more but Walker was stuck yet again. Mordant had watched him store the rune shard away and was confused why Walker appeared to have stopped breathing out of awe. The light that grew in Walker's eyes only became brighter. 

"The spatial storage skill I learned first out of many of my skills. I just got an advanced version of it. But it explains that the spatial mana exposure and usage of the skill is the reason. And that others can learn spatial storage skills through being exposed to spatial mana. Do you know what that means?" Walker looked right at Mordant before looking around at his party and the other royal dragons. The excitement in his voice was all too telling. 

"That means you can help people gain a spatial storage skill." Mordant showed the same excitement paired with a toothy grin. He was always amazed by Walker.
