Master Of None

Scylla had appeared out of nowhere all on her own. Not a single other person was with her making Walker and Su feel they were seeing things. This feeling was made even stronger as Scylla was seemingly standing in the air near the tri tailed moth. 

"I heard the sounds of what I thought to be a celebration and when I get here, there is this little bug making noise. Should I deal with it?" Scylla asked this like it was a simple task for her. But the group was willing to let her assist since they were currently at a disadvantage. 

Walker hesitated only for a moment as she saw that Scylla had zeroed in on the defensive position of Midnight and Onyx. "General Scylla. We are protecting Remey for some time. We would gladly welcome your assistance in dealing with these pests. They are trying to destroy this beautiful Garden." 

With Walker's approval, Scylla opened a fan in each hand and smiled widely. The air started to kick up around here getting the full attention of the Tri tailed moth. It had just felt the wind elemental mana in one tail lose strength and it was far from happy. However, it also felt that the water elemental mana it could control was also acting up. 

Scylla had the two elemental affinities of wind and water. This made her easily fit the namesake of the monster she had traits of. The sea dwelling monster known to kick up violent typhoons was a master of the wind and water elements in general. Therefore, when Scylla had started to control her skills she found that she was able t easily manipulate both of these elemental manas. 

The only mana not affected was the fire elemental mana in its third mutated tail. This instead was being kept in check by the water elemental mana that was thick in the air from the full moon. The advantage the tri tailed moth might as well never have existed in the first place. 

"I can feel the strength of the mana in the air, this is a very interesting spot of forest," Scylla spoke as she raised both fans and slashed downwards. There were two blades of wind and water created that fused in to one. The water became further propelled by the wind making it sharper than a steel blade.

The tri tailed moth couldn't react fast enough as a large cut appeared in one of its wings severing the wind elemental tail from the end. This caused it to flap wildly in the air and start to spread a different pheromone in the air. This smell screamed danger and enemy to every twin tailed moth nearby.

"No need to be unhappy. You will soon be gone from this world and unable to harm some of my favorite colosseum challengers." Scylla was getting a little more serious since she knew that there would be more enemies coming due to the scent. She had gone against enemies that used similar methods when in danger.

The group had been caught frozen for too long which made Walker shout t get them to move again, "Gil and Wade! Take this chance to load it up with arrows." Every enforcer reacted to Walkers' shut and sent their own arrows in to the mix. Sierra returned to buffing them to increase their power as well.

The damage to the tri tailed moth was mounting as it attempted to gather the elemental mana to properly attack. "Wait! Retreat!" Scylla suddenly started to go backward in the air and touch the ground. Her face spoke of dangers approaching. 

Walker could feel the three elemental manas within the tri tailed moth's mana converged toward the center. It couldn't gather much elemental mana at the moment but this attack was still able to be used. "It's going to use a lightning attack!" Walker tried his best to create an earth wall in front of him. 

The group fell in behind him with Su in front of all of them again. However, the difference was that Scylla joined them. "I will finish this after we survive this attack." Scylla wanted to defeat the tri tailed moth now but the problem was that if she did the mana the tri tailed moth had left in its' body would act like an over filled pastry; it would explode.

This was the final attack of the tri tailed moth that it could use before exhausting all of its' mana. With a thick earth wall rising in front of Walker and Su using her wide guard skill they had hope it would not damage them. But they did not realize there were worse things coming.

The pheromones had been partially blown away by Scyllas' wind based attacks. This was good because it had made it harder for more of the twin tailed moths to come and attack them in hope of gaining access to the nectar in the garden. Yet there was still enough in the body of the moth itself to attract five more nearby twin tailed moths that were showing themselves at the edge of the forest. 

"Leader, we need to attack as soon as the next lightning bolt is done." Su gave the warning and everyone tensed up. The enforcers, Wade' and Gil Had arrows at the ready. Onyx and Midnight sured up their protection and Sierra started to buff everyone again.

There was a sudden feeling of static in the air that they all knew from the previous attacks. Feeling this they made himself a tighter defense against the attack before the flash of light exploded outwards from the tri tailed moth in a wave of lightning. 

The boom deafened the group again as the dense earth wall Walker was still creating fell apart. He was still working now with his high earth sculpting but it was crumbling and losing strength. Su prepared herself for the impending blow.
