Master Of None

"These doors were made with some of the highest fogging ability this kingdom has to offer. It was made to hold back the heat of the many forges behind it and welcome the new generations in to the high forge. Those pests are eating it away." Walker swore he felt the ground slightly rumble as the king of the middle grew much angrier. 

"That soaking skill you used, can you do it again? Can you make it hit those slimes and get them off my priceless high forge?" The words were less of a question and more of an expectation. Walker had demonstrated his strengths in front of the king of the middle and he was now being called on to use them.

"I can create a lot of water because of the steam that is all around us. There is a lot of water elemental mana in the air too. But once the soak skill is used it just falls on whatever I target." The king of the middle was about to accept this as the only thing Walker could do. 

However, Walker spoke up again, "But I have the grand elemental manipulation skill. That means I should be able to target the ground in front of us for the soak skill then use my manipulation skill to move the water again. If I add my frost whip I can hold them frozen for a few seconds if you would like?"

The king of the middle trembled with energy. "That is exactly what I would like." He readied his hammer while watching Walker pull a much larger amount of water from the air. "My guards and golems. Prepare to guard the entrance and deal with any slimes that come near. There is no excuse for failure. If you fail then you are insulting our very history." 

These words caused every single guard to thump their chest in response. The metallic clang echoed louder than the sizzling of the slimes on the doors. "I expect that there will be more coming as soon as we open those doors. They seem to want the materials we have inside. But those are the property of the young and must not be lost!" 

The slimes on the doors were nothing compared to what the king expected was about to rush through the streets. Many of the slimes he had seen before were off devouring pipes, tools, and other miscellaneous metals. The closed doors of the high forge were tough and rune engraved for protection, they had held off the slimes for s long time but were not unbreakable. 

"Here comes the water." Walker released the soak skill and a torrent of water he had built up hit the streets beginning to wash away. "I will be using a lot of mana so I will need you to cover me," Walker said this as he began to manipulate the water elemental mana and control the water he had gathered from leaving the area. 

The water was up to their calves and standing till without running any where at the moment. The guards and the king of the middle were at the ready while the golems slowly spread to the side streets that would be the path for any slime coming their way. "Here we go!" 

Walker channeled his mana to manipulate the water in one large wave. He had seen the ripples of the water in puddles and imagined this happening on a much larger scale. He had never seen the ocean or a body of water large enough to have waves and unknowingly y had created a large wave of water heading at the acidic slime covered doors. 

The massive shape of the doors and the flattened out slimes had not been at all prepared for the impact of water. They were hit and their spread out bodies began to dilute in the large volume of water. Walker was forcing the water to slam against the door constantly so that the slimes would wash away more. 

Just as it looked like the waves would never end Walker poured more of his mana in to the manipulation and forced the water to start to freeze. Now that it was forced against the slimes their acid was dissolving and melting the fast forming ice back to water. 

The temperature around them grew cold and a mist came from the ice that had freshly formed around the door and slimes. Walkers' harsh breathing was clearly due to the large amounts of mana he had used to manipulate and freeze the water here. 

'The skill freezing wave has been taken from the arctic mage system. The user had understood the condensation and control of water elemental mana to automatically learn the freezing wave skill. 

Freezing wave- 8 mana ( increases based on volume)

The user can control a body of water in front of them to create a large wave. When the wave reaches the desired target area it can be frozen in to a mass of crystals that freezes and has the chance to cut the target. This skill can be made larger based on the mana used and available water in the chosen body of water. This skill relies on the knowledge of the water elemental cycle to properly be utilized. '

The king of the middle lifted his hammer while the guards allowed him to come forward. "You have caused my people harm and I will not forgive it. Feel the wrath of my forefathers. The kings' hammer strike!" His words caused mana to course through mana carvings on the hammer. 

It was clear that the king of the middle had activated a skill of the hammer made by the many dwarven kings. The falling force of the hammer seemed to increase by ten times and landed on the mass of frozen slimes. Pieces of ice shattered and flew through the air while the doors were forcefully knocked open. The slime course had been shattered in an instant and no enemy remained in front of them.
